It has nothing to do with being afraid of offending people. It is simply
"Respect". Respect is when one is conscientious of others' needs or beliefs. True some people feel that Respect needs to be earned. However, most Christians I think will agree that Respect has a LOT to do with the Golden Rule. Treat others and you would like them to treat you. And that goes beyond whatever denomination or religion other people practice. True, if people are offended with any religious insinuations, they can leave a particular place and go elsewhere; however, the true main reason we Christians celebrate that particular holiday is to celebrate the birth of Jesus (who was a Jew) and to share peace and goodwill among all nations. Remember that please when someone gets offended that there are no menorrahs available in the OY's. The people who follow the Bahai religion for example don't believe in using Christmas trees, or Santas or any of the decorations we commonly use for the holidays. Neither do the Buddhists. It would be nice if we had a few decorations from each of the major religions celebrated in the world. That way we'd truly be sharing everyone's celebration of our lives in this world. It would make things much more inviting to everyone, not just a select group. ;-") (gets off my soapbox and prepares to get flamed) [View Quote] Christmas in Alphaworld...

Sorry to burst yer bubble dear, but you can't rely on that either. We don't
know the whole story. Apparently the man is the "alledged" father which means he might not be M A T T's natural father. Even if he IS his natural father, M A T T might have been legally using his mother's last name or might have been adopted by a stepfather which would also change his last name. So many variables. And if we assume he's using the last name of the man being served with a supoena, the documents we are using it in might be used by the defense to show it was not M A T T and was someone else. That's the problem with "guessing" or "assuming" someone's name in litigation matters. The defense will use it to get the defendant off.

YEHHHHH!!!!!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!! ^5's for saying EXACTLY what needed to
be said. I couldn't think of a better way to put those exact feelings into words. Drac, you seem to rant and rave about the USA but I don't hear you complaining about England or any of the other countries. And please step down from whatever throne you placed yourself on and get more aquainted with the people of a nation before you start putting it down. Same goes for whatever religion you don't agree with. I don't know where you get your news hon but it CERTAINLY isn't up to date and obviously you don't believe it anyhow. Oh and pppsssttt... by the way... I grew up poor after my father left my mother to raise 3 kids by herself. She went out and got whatever jobs she needed to so she could feed us. She even went on the Welfare system so we could pay our utility bills and have some medical insurance. It is true that some people here in the states take advantage of our Welfare system, but not everyone. And..... it took her over 3 years to do it but she payed back whatever she owed the government. I also might add that even though we were poor, we didn't live in "shacks" but in a rowhouse. It was a tough neighborhood. The crime rate was high, etc etc. But all the neighbors there watched out for each other. It was a "community". And no, I'm not black or Cuban, but we had a very diverse group of people living in that area. A large mix of Hispanics, African Americans, Ukranians, Syrians, Iranians, Koreans, etc etc. And sometimes, on occasion, a limo would come by. We would watch it and wonder who was in it. We held no envy or jealousy for whoever was in it. Here in America, the rich do occasionally visit the poor sections of town, they just don't announce it ahead of time. And you'll also find poor people working in the rich districts of town. America is about a mixed group of people, with different backgrounds, different desires, all struggling to make ends meet, either financially or emotionally. I've met poor people who were very happy and pleasant people and I've met some very rich snobby folks who were totally miserable. And no, politics has nothing to do with any of that. It didnt' matter who was president when my mother had to raise us. It wouldn't have made much of a difference. However, these days with idiots like Osama BinLaden and Saddam Hussein running around pouring their money into their own destructive forces, I'm glad Bush is doing something about it. And I hope never again in my lifetime or my daughter's that we have another attack like 9/11, here or anywhere else in the world. Hitler wanted his own particular group of people to rule the planet. Don't you see the same thing happening with Bin Laden??? My God man, He's even been taped admitting to it!!!! Wake up and smell the napalm!!! And its a known fact that Bin Laden was paying Iraq for weapons. Oh, ..... I forgot...... you don't believe the news reports, do you??? Never mind then. Just ignore my little soapbox speech.

Excuse me, .........maybe I didnt' make myself clear earlier. I never said
9/11 was the reason for this war. It was only the tip of the proverbial iceburg that began years ago and yes, the leaders of many nations wanted to put an end to Hussein's dictatorship, ........and yes, they also wanted to capture Bin Laden and put all that to an end, but it took the day of 9/11 to bring everybody in the world (except for you of course) to rally up enough anger and enough bravery and enough volunteers, yes..... I said VOLUNTEERS..... to go after these two terrorist leaders. True, most of our military are paid, not very well, but they are paid. Do you, in your little isolated frame of mind, have any idea how many volunteers came forward to try to fight for life as we know it??? Too many to count. Not only as soldiers, but clerical, medical, relief aid, computers, you name it, they volunteered and NOT just from the USA but also from other countries, including Finland. Again, I will tell you, as will most other people here, before you go blasting ANYBODY get the facts first. Oh, and by the way, Bush would never target any Jews, Blacks, Catholics, twins, Asians, Indians or Gays to bring himself to power like Hitler did. Hitler was insane. He thought he was God. He believed that genocide was the only way he could raise a nation of blonde haired, blue eyed people. And there is a HUGE difference tween Hitler and Bush so dont' even go there. Bush is not a dictator, he is the leader of a nation that is determined to wipe out terrorists and to show them that it won't be tolerated anymore. Have you even been following how the people of Iraq feel???? Yes they have no electricity. Yes they need fresh drinking water and food. Yes they need shelter cus we destroyed their houses. Yes a lot of their people died. But...... they are now free to think and speak and act the way they want to do it. They don't have that awful oppression of being afraid of saying something wrong and getting arrested or tortured. They don't have to worry about their children's education anymore. Are you aware that the girls were not allowed to learn to read or write in school? Are you aware that if a woman lied to her husband, he had the right to shoot her in the head in a public square? Are you aware that most of the Iraqi people are celebrating their new freedom and starting to set up their new government? I don't know where you get your warped views on things. Don't go blaming the CIA for the news you see on CNN or other international broadcasts. You're an idiot if you think the CIA twists around the news to suit their purpose. Do they fake the photos too? And the film clips? And the dead bodies? Hmmmmm, come to think of it, maybe the CIA is to blame for the ozone layer being depleted too. Maybe the CIA is REALLY making it easier for UFO's to sneak in and spy on us. >_< And by the way, I NEVER said.... and I don't believe,... that the USA is the best country in the whole world. But if I had to decide where I'd rather live, it would definately be either the USA or Canada. Not because of biased opinions from other people, but because I have traveled in both countries, not alot, but enough to feel at home here. And I enjoy my freedom and because my family is here. I am proud of my country, for what the people have fought for and believe in. Just like you are proud of your country for your own reasons. And everybody should have that same pride no matter where they live. I have every RIGHT to stand up for my country, even if you find faults with it, and so does Binary Bud, and CarolAnn. The people who live in England have a right to stand up for their country too if someone like you comes along and tries to insult what they take pride in. If you don't enjoy living in a certain country, you don't have to stay there (unlike Cubans, but that's a different story). So, back off bucko. You have only visited one tiny section of the USA. That does NOT make you an expert. Nor does the filtered news you follow. Until you've traveled a year in my moccassins, you cannot comment on where I live. Or something like that.

0_0 I can see this is going nowhere fast and
I totally agree with what Jetta said. This is a useless conversation with you. You are too stubborn or just too lazy to do more research before posting your own opinions. The Germans did not possess prior knowledge of just how crazy Hitler was before he took office and after he started his genocide campaign most Germans lived in fear of fighting against it. They were given an ultimatum, either cooperate or join the prisioners, get shot in the head or watch your family get murdered. I still don't see the connection there with Bush. As far as muslims are concerned, are you aware of all the muslims living happily in this country? They are living like everybody else in this country. Free to worship in whatever manner they wish. We do not hold any anger towards muslim people at all. There are black muslims here, hispanic muslims, and a LOT of white muslims (some of which are natural born Americans who chose to convert). A few prejudiced people did some awful things and probably will continue to be like that, but that is something that happens with every religion in the world. Bush doesn't care what religion anybody practices, as long as they aren't breaking any laws. Bush has nothing to do with it. That would be equivilent to Queen Elizabeth having control over the crime rate in London. I feel sorry for you, living in that little bubble of yours, afraid to admit to yourself that you might not have all the information on a subject you feel so strongly about. I will openly admit I have no clue when the Iraqi's will form their own government, ( I don't have ESP) but I do know they are working on it with help from the UN and from other countries, including the USA. I can only guess at why there is still resistance fighting there. Most of that area is without electricity. It is very likely the combatants don't yet know that Hussein was captured. Some of the combatants will probably fight to the death to protect what he believes is his government. I bet a lot of them were probably told we would kill them even if they surrendered. (Remember its the middle east we're talking about here) Some of them probably took an oath, similar to the military here in the USA to fight and preserve. I don't have all the answers you are asking of me. Because I honestly don't have the time lately to follow all the news reports or the interest in doing more research into what the latest news in Iraq is. But I CAN tell you this much...... I am tired of trying to point out to you that you don't have all the facts before posting your one-sided opinions. You seem to have this overwhelming need to blame everything on our president and our government. We know the CIA keeps secrets. Every country has its spies. Its just that ours is more publicized.

TZ got me into Worlds. I saw him there a coupla times about 3 weeks ago but
haven't seen him since. I haven't seen him in AW since then either. I did ask him about 3 weeks ago how long he thinks he'll be involved with AW and he told me till his cit runs out in the spring. Can't remember right now but I believe he mentioned April. I was in Worlds for only 2 days and then won at a trivia contest and am now a VIP for a year free. If anybody is interested in visiting, my name there is TheLioness. I can't get you a discount but I can help you with yer av if you like. I don't know anything about building there yet. Still trying to learn other things about the uni and make connections. The mirrors are so kewl and yes they really work. Really great avs too. I think if AW had these two items they would kick butt compared to some other uni's. IMHO the graphics on Worlds stinks compared with AW. Too pixelated. Very laggy in a lot of spots too. They have streaming video which is kewl. But I still believe AW is so much better. I don't intend on leaving AW. I have sent TZ a few messages both in AW and in Worlds and am waiting to hear from him. I asked around recently and some people in Worlds hasn't seen him either. Hope he's ok. [View Quote] |
