  Do whatever it takes to keep your child from quitting school... If that means bribing them, so be it.... I feel almost nothing is more important than knowledge.

  Hi Gentlesoul,

  No offense, but your writing skills give you away... I am sorry that you will not post here anymore. Not because of a conscience problem, but beacause this forum (for me at least) really does offer some good information and emotional support. Good luck to you... I wish you the best.

  Female would have to be Tori Amos. Male is a toss up between Bono of U2 and Sting.

  i am a lurker on the "witness world" witnesses-only website.

  they are having a discussion because someone during door-to-door service confronted them with the un letter.

  they are all saying that it is "obviously made up"... but the person is planning on writing to the society to ask.

  Beard and politic

  by Trotsky in

  2. friends

  elders and ministial servants are still today not allowed to be bearded.

  it looks higly politicial to me and i beleave it is a leftover from the mccarthy period in the 50s.

  joseph mccarthy was a us republican senator and communist witch hunter.

  gosh, i never thought i would listen to this guy but i have just purchased his cd.

  there are only one or two songs i raise my eyebrows to and then switch the song.

  i came across this cd from my friend down the street who listens to him (her brother works for his band) and we were driving somewhere, correction, she was driving and said, "my car, my music" and then introduced me to some of the songs.

  I saw the VH1 special on him and was totally impressed... Truly a rags to riches story... I had only known of him beacause of his relationship with Pamela Anderson. Haven't heard much of his music yet..

  The war was waged because of Paul Wolfowitz's vision of how the US could transform the middle east. With Iran surrounded by the US now on three fronts: Afgahnistan, Iraq, and the Persian Gulf.. Iran will fall without a shot fired. With Turkey and Iraq as staging grounds, the US can apply serious pressure to Syria also... The house of Sa'ad in Saudi Arabia will take the longest... In 50 years, the economic prosperity in Iraq should spill over into the whole region... I foresee Isreal's relationship with the US waning as the Palestinians will be given a state.. In fact by 2050, war with Isreal is a real possibility.. We'll cut their aid, and may even help the Palestinians in building a military if they accept a leader that will play by our rules..

  Saddam being a butcher, and the possibility of him having WMD were secondary. Wolfowitz sold to Rumsfield and Bush his vision...
