What would your perfect day be like?

WalMart is now offering an online music download service. Just 88 cents per song!

Hmmmmm

I wonder who in this group will sign up?

What's amazing is: 1. How passionate people of all views are about this film/topic. 2. How the "Institutional Christian" religions of so many varieties have categorically endorsed this movie while categorically denouncing the Last Temptation. And usually without actually seeing either one....

Well, that's not what I meant at all.

I meant that there was an innocence lost, and it was dramatic and significant. Something that was unknown before is known now. That's all. Certainly didn't mean to be offensive, just dramatic.

Why does virginity apply only to women?

He probably has an assistant who does the actual reading and gives him a synopsis... 'cause... wouldn't you?





What I really need is a wife.

Giuliani was on his way to the WTC when it collapsed, and stayed down there for a couple days. The pictures of him at ground zero, covered with white ash, erased everything else. New York City lost her virginity that day. Yes, you read that right. Everything changed from that day forward, and for th...

Is Scarlet Tide incorporated into the movie or just a theme for the credits?

Has anyone actually seen Cold Mountain?

Is it worth the price of admission and a babysitter?

...Does anyone really know what time it is?

True Story: I have a friend who is a yellow dog Democrat, and proud of it. She regularly makes broad, disparaging remarks about the racism of Republicans, because everyone knows Republicans are eager to “keep down” all the minorities. A year or so ago we went to dinner together at a fantastic Italia...

I would love to see C. Rice on the ticket. She is brilliant and accomplished and a terrific role model for Af. Am. girls. (I'm placing a long overdue order for some books about her for my classroom.) I'll never forget the opening to her speech at the 2000 GOP convention: "I am a Republican beca...

This past summer, living on one teacher's salary, our budget was stretched so thin you could see through it. Okay, there were holes in it filled by credit cards. It was very stressful. Driving down a main road in town, I saw about 150 men hanging around in the parking lot of a large c/w bar. They we...

I take exception to this thread.

Michael Flatley is a talented, sexy man.

Just because he has glitter on his chest, everyone wants to give him a bum rap.

I could never figure out Martha's appeal. I tried to watch her on tv a couple times, and through the mind-numbing haze I asked, "Why is this a show?" Excerpt: "Here are some exotic rose bushes my gardners planted. Now I'm going to show you how to plant one in your 12 acre garden at ho...

Candle in the Wind (@ Marilyn) -Elton John

Guess not. I'll have to try another strategy.

Noise performed 2 Elvis songs, at the request of our company's CEO, at our farewell dinner. Thought it would be fun to put a couple pictures of that out here.

Just trying to see if I can actually get a photo on here.

What amazes me is the amount of anti-semitism still at play in much of Europe. It's as though many people did not learn anything from the horrors of the concentration camps. Some did, to be fair. The memorial behind Notre Dame cathedral is powerful; frightening and heart wrenching at the same time. ...

Cope: I have no interest in engaging in private message conversations with you. Your comments are public, and so shall mine be. But since you claim a naïve confusion at the suggestion that your words are offensive, I will explain one recent example. On a Christmas List thread you wrote that you want...

Interesting. I seem to be getting more of the same message: to ignore comments that are abusive, even while people very supportively agree that the comments are offensive. This is a realm of words. The fact that there is a face, person, personality on the other end of each of these character names i...

When I was in 4th grade, a girl pulled down my halter top in front of a group of kids, who all reacted loudly. When I told the teacher, she said, “Well you shouldn’t wear tops like that to school.” In 7th grade, when boys regularly pinched girls’ butts in the crowded halls, we were told by teachers,...

I'm going to attempt to start a new thread to address the above controversy, since it has veered rather far from the official topic. But it is an issue that matters. To add a bit of levity, here's something I got on one of those highly-suspect forwards that actually gave me a chuckle. According to t...

Well I'm a cynic, even towards people I support. I have no philosophical problem with entering a country and removing a murderous, torturous dictator. (I also know the many reasons why we can't go around doing that; just saying I wouldn't mind it if we did.) But why this SOB, and why now? I think Bu...

A man went on a journey.
