    Default rambling thoughts

    The case of the teacher who may be punished for letting her class name a teddy bear Mohammed makes me want to buy a stuffed pig for my daughter, and name IT mohammed or Allah.

    The Presidential debates are useless in terms of helping me decide who to vote for. They are staged and canned and feel fake. They are NOT debates but advertisements. Why are democrats scared to debate on FOX? Yet, YET to the last man, they all claim they'd be 'tough on defense'. Look, if Sheppard Smith scares you, Mohommad Akhbar or Houz Bin Farteen would leave you shitless.

    If we don't get at least one-week worth of snow this winter, I think I'll put forth a gigantic effort to move in 2008.

If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Got nothin for ya on this one.

    The Presidential debates are useless in terms of helping me decide who to vote for. They are staged and canned and feel fake. They are NOT debates but advertisements.

    So, is it the debates you're unhappy with or the democrats' actions?

    Personally, I'm so fed up with the whole thing, I've made up my mind that I'm not voting. I've never seen an organizational process more corrupt than the presidential election, and I refuse to take part in it. That said, I'm planning on sitting out most/all of the presidential debates on here, as I feel it's wrong of me to complain/praise anything the president does when I didn't vote one way or the other.

    My dad said something pretty smart at Thanksgiving dinner: you don't vote for your candidate anymore, you vote against your opponent's candidate. Sad but true.

    If we don't get at least one-week worth of snow this winter, I think I'll put forth a gigantic effort to move in 2008.

    I can sympathize and empathize with all of your concerns and ramblings above....

    (But this does not mean you and your lady friend will ever change me on how I post or what I say, or how I live or how i view my religion and beliefs so, why not stop trying ?)

    I wonder what you are implying when you mention a "lady friend". Because in my experience, that is the term for a girlfriend/lover. You wouldn't want to imply that, would you, JD? I don't think you would, because I think that you would have learned a lesson in making scurrilous accusations about someone's fidelity when you accused D of having a bad marriage a while ago. Which, btw, was an example of judging, big time, now that I remember it.

    And since you brought it up in your second paragrpah, there is no one on this board, and I mean no one, past or present, who tries to change how people post, talk, or live, as much as you do, JD.

    At least if it's going to be this freaking cold it could snow. Otherwise my kids won't step foot outside.

    She was convicted and sentence to 15 days in a sudan prison. The British are fuming and using every diplomatic method available to get her out. I'm sure a SAS team is standing by. Sudan is another one that needs to be visited by the Marine Corp.
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    Some rambling from me (I like btw, cuz at the end of the day, I often don't feel like writing essays---again)

    A good point. They might try to argue, well, its just politics and we won't talk or deal with "FOX."

    YET --> don't they critize Bush for failed diplomacy? They accuse him of refusing to "negotiate" with terrorist states (Iran/Venezuala...), yet, they can't even handle diplomacy with an american television network. They think that FOX is biased and unfair? That makes me feel cozy about their view of WORLD leaders. Do they think that everybody loves us, but for, GWB? Do they really think that it is "only" GWB that makes those sweet muslims hate us?

    That scares me. They ignore an American news channel over "principles" yet are willing to open arms to OPEN enemies.

    The teacher should have known better. That's harsh I know, but, dammit, she screwed up. Lucky for her that the Brits intervened and she didn't get that flogging.

    Never go unarmed into another country if you don't have the local culture down cold.

    Snow. Ugh nasty white stuff falling from the sky. Looks great on a postcard. Sucks in real life.

    Militarily you are right. You might be right if everything is military. Is it?
