Ok, it is clear that I've been working on this report to long when I unconsciously start recreating words to the Eminem song that I'm listening to. Yes, surprisingly, Eminem is not signing about MtBE, the fuel additive that was intended to help eliminate ozone and carbon monoxide poisoning, but that has instead contaminated ground and well water throughout
Damn Citahellion--you are good...that is what I got as well, but it took me a little longer...
In honor of Mig, I thought I would post the brainteaser of all brainteasers--I received this in my email today. Einstein's Riddle : This is solvable with no trickery or misleading clues! 1. There are 5 houses horizontally in 5 different colours. In each house lives one person, each with a different nationality. 2. The 5 owners each
Carebear: I encourage you (and everyone else) to question the teachings of your church--not necessarily to abandon them, but to fully understand where they come from, and if you truly believe in them. You may find out that you agree 100% with everything, but you might find sticky spots where you have trouble with some doctrines. A deeper understanding can be the foundation to an un-rockable faith. Blind faith should be reserved for Jesus alone (ass
Of course they were aware of it--as to whether or not they cared, the same could be said about the United States. We sat back and watched the abuse before the WMD exaggeration came to the forefront of foreign policy debates. Besides, I was talking about "perceived legitimacy." Going in for humanitarian purposes was going to get more allocades on the international front than doing it the way we did.
Are the biblical values in the commandments bad? I think that's directed towards me, but I'm not really sure, so I will answer it anyway. No, the commandments are not bad at all if you are a Christian (which I am, of the widely unpopular Catholic
Karen: I have been there! Ok, so it was the side mirror, not the rearview, but it would fly out on the highway and I would have to stop and go back for it. I tried everything, but finally a combination of superglue and double sided foam tape did the trick--but only after loads of tears and swears--and after the mirror had cracked in two and I was missing the bottom portion... hang in there!
Ok, I need a point of clarfication cause this thread lost me...who's trying to take the word "God" out of the constitution? I've hear about altering the Pledge, but haven't heard anything about the constitution...so if someone could fill me in on that, I'd be most obliged. But now for my 2 cents... 1. I don't have any problem with the "God" being in the Pledge, but by the same token, I don't think anyone should be forced to say it.
Actually, I'm not sure you could say that the people in Northern Ireland were any more ready to make a deal than they had been the past. The deal was on the brinks a lot--while I wouldn't go so far as to say Mitchell was the only thing holding the deal together he was a great instigator. There were just as many people up in arms about having to negotiate with "terrorist" in Northern Ireland as there are in
thanks for the comment wisefawn, that's my favorite part as well. dharma--no need to be planning a funeral! I'm not sure if are still checking but I'm sad to see you go...you know where to find me though--good luck with the move and all the rest! psychx--if you figure out who you were thinking of...let me know!
Madine: If my article is about how I think that Clinton's strength was in diplomacy and that was a good thing, why would I think that using diplomacy is a bad idea when Bush does it? That just doesn't make sense. Diplomacy is our only option with N.Korea--we know they have nuclear weapons, war with them is not an option. And you are right, Clinton didn't deploy at the same number--there was no need to. I'm not sure what you were trying to
Thanks for the suggestions...I'll check them out and let you know what I think. I go through phases of thinking listening to Spanish music will help to improve my spanish--but it only works if I am translating it correctly in the first place!
I have the general idea of what it means...my loose translation is "I am going to live calmly, without hestitation, but also without haste." Is that about right? Have any suggestions of other Spanish music for me?
Another song that I fell in love with during my Spanish kick was Alex Ubago's "Que Pides Tu?" "pido por ser feliz, que pides tu, que pides tu." The song is slightly dark (lyrically, not musically) and definitely deep. But the resounding chorus is "I ask to be happy, what do you ask for?" Given that life is not what we expect it
A few years back, I had a serious interest in Spanish music. I couldn't get enough of it. There's something about the Spanish language, which I will fully admit I don't speak well enough, that allows for expressions of things that I can't seem to find the words for in English. While I was going through my Spanish phase--which rears its head every once in
The line of viability gets blurrier by the day, shades, a friend of mine recently gave birth to a baby girl weighing 2lbs 6oz. She is having problems, of course, but shes expected to live. How would you determine its viability, by its ability to survive without medical intervention? Just curious.... Agr
There seems to be an idea floating about that President Clinton was somehow a coward, and that given the circumstances, Clinton wouldn't be prepared to send American soldiers to war to defend the country. I've heard the refrain over and over again; it has started to sound like the chorus in Ancient Greek drama that appears out of nowhere to make sure the audience is
Mikimouse (I was on vacation when that happened so I am not sure what happened) and David St. Hubbins who is about to get unbanned to see if he can get along better. But both were prolofic left of center writers but both, IMO, showed an amazing level of intolerance towards views that didn't agree with their own. </TABLE
I would vote for sperm That could be taken the wrong way! I mean that I vote that he looks like a sperm more than he looks like a bunny!
The only reason why JU isn't overwhelmingly full of left of center people is that some of the more prolofic posters in the past have either gotten banned or asked to leave because of their intolerance for other points of view to the point where they would use heavy amounts of profanity and make personal attacks from thread to thr
Hey Jenna--I did my undergrad at Wake! I haven't been back since graduation--but I'm sure it hasn't changed all that much--betcha the lower Quad still floods every time it rains!
It is traditionally considered poor english to terminate a sentence with a preposition Immediately, without finishing your comment, I scanned my blog to make sure that I hadn't committed any of these offenses. Then I read that it doesn't really matter any more. I certainly agree that language
Chinanow--I haven't taken the oral the second time around--I passed it the first, but was relegated to the "eligble hires list" and my name has never seen the light of day. I need to schedule my next oral, but will let you know how I do. I'm far from being a genius--so you should fare fine on the exam...There is a study guide that you can get at Barnes and Noble. There is also a reading list on the State Department website, and they used to,
Can you imagine the US/Iraq affairs right now if Clinton were in office. Scares me to think about it. I'm really not sure what you mean by this Sarah. Clinton sent our troops to quite a few places, including Bosnia and Haiti. He also authorized additional troops for Somalia (a mission that began under
I have a habit to make non-verbs into verbs. The habit was recently ridiculed when I said to my boss that I had just "texted" someone and was waiting for their response. Of course, I was referring to the art of sending a text message via my cell phone. In between fits of hysterical laughter, my boss informed me that "text" was not a verb. Why not? <
