| Sometimes, your all alone, and you need a good time with yourself, nothing wrong with that. Now, when you drink a lot all by yourself all the time, then you've got issues. | |||

"If you haven't seen a bulge by now, I just feel sorry for you." So yeah, noone should complain about tight pants. |

| Hey, question for anyone who has all of the treasures, or at least knows where to find them. Can't find treasure number 25 in Twilight Town. That would be the first treasure in the fourth row of the journal. Thanks if you know where it is and can tell me where to find it, otherwise, I guess I'll just go through without it. | |||

| Jesus dieing on the cross wasn't in God's plan for him, but it was an inevitability of the plan of Jesus' life. The purpose of Jesus becoming human was to teach the good word about what is expected of all people. He was to teach that loving your fellow man is the most important thing that you can do in life. Now, because his teachings would be so radically different and opposed to the traditional teachings, it was obvious to see that he would be executed for his actions because of the mass of people that he would offend by upturning their entire religion. If he was not proclaiming this doctrine so strongly he wouldn't have been crucified, but then, his message wouldn't have been heard and his time on earth would be a waste.
And for jesus being perfect, he is perfect in the aspect of sin, he is free of it. Questioning God and his plan is not a sin, it is actually a sign of someone who is actively participating in their faith by trying to seek a greater understanding of their beliefs. When Jesus said "My God, why have you forsaken me" or "Take this cup away" in reference to him being crucified it was his human nature of fear that brought him to it and a desire to completely understand why he was going through what he was going through. Upturning the table in the temple could be considered a sin, but in no way a grave sin, the same as someone stopping a person from selling drugs by destroying that persons drugs is in no one committing a grave sin. As for free will v. predistination, I see it as something like this. God has given us all free will and we have the ability to do what it is that we desire, but in being omniscient God is able to understand what our desires are and therefore know what we will choose to do and thus be able to understand the what, where, when, why and how of every event. It's like with anything, if you comprehend it fully, you can predict everything that will result from it, it's just that we as human beings are nowhere near capable of understanding free will and other people's motives and desires so we are not able to predict what will happen in the future. |

Originally posted by Snow Tomato One of the most inteligent things said here. Nobody seems to realize that this is the only long term way to curb immigration to the US from Mexico. And our policies of free trade are doing nothing to help improve the Mexican economy. Free trade is going to destroy whatever farm economy they might have because a few US farmers will buy up the cheap land and use the technology we have to make more crops (which probably won't all be used to keep grain prices high) for less money and basically make almost every Mexican farmer jobless. We need to actually enact policy that helps Mexico (and the US) in the long term and not the short. Originally posted by Mattp From my experience there are a lot of US citizens that do manual labor. It is true that a lot of Mexican immigrants do manual labor, but there are also plenty of non-Mexican immigrant US citizens that do manual labor, just go to factories, warehouses, and other such places. Certain regions of the US have a large immigrant work force, but there are plenty of places that do not. |

| What's holding back the USA is corporation. They control basically every aspect of US society and as far as corporation has shown, it is corrupt. Corporation lobbies to presidents and congress men and women and forces their hands to make decisions that benefit corporations instead of society. Corporations are run on one mantra, and one mantra alone, make money, no matter what must be done. This is why large scale farms throw away tons of grain every year, because it keeps grain prices high, where they very easily could ship that grain to Africa and help fight the horrific poverty and starvation that plagues that continent. The USA needs to start policies to help the poor countries of the world, because it is moraly correct and also because it will benefit all the people of the world, even the wealthy corporations of the US.
On a slight side note, liberal laws are not always against Christianity. Liberal laws are what created welfare and other such social service programs. As far as I've learned from being a Catholic for the past 20 years, helping the poor is one of the greatest tenets of Chrisitanity. Liberals are the ones who fight agaisnt the dealth penalty and for socialized health care so that everyone can have hospital visits when they need them. Sorry, just a little rant I needed to get off from constantly hearing how liberals are so anti-religion. |

| From the article
"If it were North Carolina, this would be a whole different story. But the law in Massachusetts is that gay marriage is legal. We have lots of gay families in Lexington." This is a very important fact. In Massachusetts same sex marriages are allowed. This means that the public majority believes that it is okay. I don't see how reading this book is any different than bringing your kids out in public. Are parents going to be putting blinders on their kids so that they don't see a gay couple out in public. What would parents do if there was a gay couple kissing in public, would they just pretend like their kid didn't see it and move on. If anything, reading this book to the children forces the parents to discuss the issue with their kids. This is just more of this parents not wanting to be parents because they'd rather just not discuss the issue with their kids. |

| I don't understand the obsession with impeaching bush. It's only happened twice before, and even though I consider myself to be a whole lot more liberal than most, I don't think he should be impeached. If he were to be impeached because of this someone would have to find a link that bush told them to stuff the ballot. Just because some people stuffed ballots to help the man they wanted to win an election win (and I highly doubt that happened, but even if it did) doesn't mean bush will get punished for it.

| Okay, so one of the attackers was clever enough to think of a way of making all things related to 9/11 in someway relate to the number 11. That's fine and dandy, give me a week I could probably find 100 flights leaving from all over the country, or just one area, that all equal some predetermined number. It's really not that difficult, and the probability of finding those numbers isn't hard. Maybe they even looked at flights for a bunch of days to try different numbers. The fact of the matter is, what in the name of God would have made anyone aware of the number 11. Is their some intrinsic value of the number 11 that all the national agencies should have been spending all their time looking at it. Think of it this way, it's just like a movie with a huge plot twist, like fight club, where once you know what the twist is it's pretty obvious to see all the clues that give it away, but in this situation the puzzle is many many times more complex with a whole lot of extraneous information that also merits people's time, so people need to stop blaming inteligence agencies for not having prevented 9/11. | |||

| It was brought into court because of a sexual harasment suit. Employers, or anyone seen to be in a more powerful possition, can be tried for sexual harasement for having relations with their subordinates. It's the state of the world we live in. The fact is, when he was being questioned (under oath), he decided to lie instead of telling the truth. Purjury is grounds for impeachment, and impeachment does not necessarily result in expulsion from office. The situation for which he committed purjury was not one of enough consequence to merrit removal from office, just a mark of shame from impeachment. | |||

| I'm in that No AP tests cause I've got real tests (aka finals) next week. I loved APs, easy way to get out of a bunch of classes during the week, ended up not getting me many credits cause if you didn't get a 5 you didn't pass out of any courses, and then 5s mostly meant that you'd get like 2 or 3 credits in courses that were below requirements. NE ways, I digress, finals for next week.
Monday ~ 8am - Modern Physics Wednesday ~ 8am - Computer Logic Design Thursday ~ 8am - Electronics | 4pm - Ordinary Differential Equations Friday ~ 8am - Circuit Analysis II Uh, that's gonna be fun, especially considering the least of those finals is 35% of the grade, and the CLD is 50% |

| Hey, is there anything out there that can turn a computer monitor into a useable screen for a GCN or PS2. I don't really feel like buying a TV right now and was wondering if there were any cables or connectors that could be plugged into my monitor or into a graphics card in a computer. Thanks for the help, and I have a nVidia GeForce 6600 if that matters. | |||

Originally posted by Silvershield I'd beg to differ that schools are not responsible for teaching some form of morals. Schools do plenty to teach kids not to steal, not to swear, not to cut in line, and other such good things. I would consider these morals of some sort and it is the schools responsibility to teach children this. The system of laws and regulartions, in any society, is based on morals, and schools are the prime place to educate children in these rules. Also, I do think that reading the fairy tale is not exp |

| I'm in the camp of ditching oil, or at least greatly reducing our consumption of it and replacing most of our energy needs with clean, renewable energies. Now, the only problem is there are only two organizations that have the capitol to switch energy sources, the government, or the oil companies. And we all know that corporation is about making money, and switching off the money train of oil to renewables like nuclear is going to put quite the dent in their profits for the next decade or so. But we eventually are going to need to do it, and wouldn't it just be great if corporations actually did something that considered people over money. Oh well, I don't see it happening for a long while, but hopefully one day it will, as I hope that one day people stop being utterly terrified of nuclear power. | |||

Originally posted by Silvershield I remember that the kids at my grade school used to play a game called "smear the queer", basically a form of tag/hot potatoe/tackle each other (it wasn't a bunch of kids going after a homosexual kid, it was just the name of the game, if the name brought up any concern). I can't imagine what a child who thought he was homosexual would be going through taking a part in or hearing people play this game if he knew what the term queer meant, and there were definately some kids that did as well as the kids who use terms like "gay, fag, etc." to demean and insult each other. So basically I think that children in grade school do know about it and there are probably some children who even have a sense of their own sexuality. Originally posted by Silvershield I know a few parents that have stolen in front of their children and acted like it was something special that they did, and parents that swear in front of their children constantly so I think it works pretty well. The difference is that the a large majority of people strongly disagree with theft, etc. whereas it's much closer to fifty-fifty (though not really that close) on the homosexuality. |

| With the Kworld XPert TV, what exactly do you mean "it may not be as nice as possible." Is that about it actually doing it's function of connecting a GCN or PS2 to display it on the monitor, or that the picture quality isn't as good as the others. | |||

Originally posted by Silvershield I will agree with you on that, it is a difficult thing to determine where we can and cannot draw the line on limiting parents and their responsibilities of raising their children, I guess I just don't see the reading of the story as that dramatic of an infringement on the rights of the parents. I understand your points, but I guess my fundamental opinion on it is different and I think that the fairytale is completely within bounds of being taught, but this is coming from someone growing up in the bay area outside of san francisco with a handful of homosexual relatives, so I guess my feelings about the issue are a little different and I grew up always thinking the homosexuality was a normal thing, kinda like the difference between the people that were art people and people that were engineering people, nothing wrong or right about it, just the way you were. And I agree with Tommathy, even if most of the children don't know what the words mean, if one of the children do, then it means a whole lot more, and I would think it to be especially difficult for the child if they were homosexual.

| Yeah, why the hell does Echo think pushing the button is so important? Does he think that by pushing it they'll get another plane to fly by and be rescued? Also, I don't think Michael is an other, he's just doing what he thinks he needs to do to get his son back. And I don't think it's a trade of Locke for Walt, more like a trade of the other's being able to take everyone because they most definately have more than two guns, for his son. |
