Me threatened? I hope not. I was just quoting Rodney King: "Can't we all just get along?" Just trying to be a peacemaker.

Why do women love religion?
by Kaethra ini've pondered this so much.
most religions, even though they are male-dominated, boast a predominately female population.
i've tried and tried to understand why otherwise independent women would give up their autonomy to a man-led faith and just recently i think i understand why...women, much more so than men, are in need of protection.

Thanks for all of the responses. Particularly Dansk. You're right, if we, as intelligent thinking creatures, stop feeling bad about killing other creatures then we really are lost as a species.

Sparkplug, you should like V for Vendetta. The whole point of the movie is that we the people have to take back our government from criminals like George W. Bush and The Dick. (Cheney that is.) It's nice to know that someone in Texas sees that Bush is an idiot.

A few months back, in Jersey, I ran over something, a dog maybe. It was also on a two lane road and several vehicles in front of me ran over it as well. It was likely already dead whatever it was.

Don't disassociate yourself. That is what they want you to do. Disassociating yourself means they are the center of the universe and you are outside. Instead, DISASSOCIATE THEM!!! They are the one's in the wrong. You are on the right side. Maintain your position in the center and kick them outside.

Zeroday, I was on US Highway 127, two lane road in the middle of nowhere with no full shoulder. I couldn't have swerved if I wanted to. Actually the deer almost made it out of the way. Most of the damage was on the passenger side of the truck, so theoretically if I would have swerved into the other lane I might have missed it, then again if you do that that is when a car shows up in the other lane going the other direction.

Lovelylil, you reminded me that I had to disect a frog back in junior high school, but I'm pretty sure it was already dead before we did the disecting. And, no there were no eye witnesses, thank God. Eyewitnesses usually mean someone in a car behind me. Thankfully no one else was around. It was pretty early in the morning. Warlock, you are right. with the height of that deer if a passenger vehicle would have hit it, it is likely that the car would have taken the legs out from under it and the deer probably would have rolled over into the windshield and into the front of the car. So it definitely is better that a big truck hit it rather than a little car. I guess part of what is freaking me out is the whole "what if" factor. What if that would have been a human. Even rolling along at 20 miles an hour if a person steps out in front of a big truck there is still a pretty good chance that the driver won't be able to stop in time. And at 55 mile and hour or faster not only can't you stop in time but you would run completely over a person, possibly as much as 9 times if they were directly under one side of the truck. And I see a lot of people do a lot of stupid things everyday on the road. It's like they have no idea how heavy and how powerful these trucks are. I've been driving truck for 2 years now so I knew eventually I would hit something big, and I thought I was prepared for it. I guess not. Hopefully I can go another 2 years, at least, without hitting anything else bigger that the bugs on my windshield.

Okay, not so much murder, but yesterday I did kill a deer. I was driving my 18 wheeler thru Tennessee. It was around 5 in the morning. I was having a pretty good day when all of the sudden this deer appears on the road. Well like they say, you can't stop a truck on a dime. So now I am a killer. I've never killed anything larger than a rat in my life. Certainly nothing larger than myself. It feels kind of strange. I can't imagine how much it would hurt to be run over by a 40 ton vehicle. Each tire on a truck supports 6 to 8 thousand pounds. The poor thing didn't have a chance. It was pretty good sized for a deer. It left some pretty impressive damage on my truck. The front bumper was destroyed and I might even need a new hood, it was cracked in a few spots. The worst part was immediately after impact. They teach truck drivers that you are never to swerve or slam on your brakes to avoid hitting an animal. If you do and some human gets hurt as a result you could be in big trouble. So sure enough, yesterday morning, the moment finally arrived when I would have to do what I was taught. Of course it happened so fast that I couldn't have swerved or hit my brakes anyway. All I managed to do was tap my brake to disengage the cruise control a split second before impact. But like I said a moment ago, the worst part was right after that. The worst part was hearing it's body get smashed by the truck as it rolled over the poor thing. And I think part of it (the deer that is) got caught up on some part of my undercarriage, because I could here thay something was dragging under the truck for about 500 feet before it dislodged. At least it probably didn't suffer long. So am I weird for feeling bad about killing a deer?

What will it take to bring down the tower?
by wanderlustguy init may never happen, i believe the best that can be hoped for is to pull some people out of it.
no matter what is found out, no matter how big the screw up or lawsuit or lie that is uncovered, there will always be some who believe.
selling hope is a big business, and some people want hope way more than they want truth.. the blood expose', however, is great in that it gets more information out there to a large audience, which will eventually cause the wts to go into damage control mode, changing policies again.

False and deceptive and even evil religions have been around for as long as man has existed. The WTS may or may not continue to exist for a long time but it really does not matter. The Catholic church has obvious and glaring errors about it but it has survived for a long time. Will it always be around? Who knows. If certain religions or governments or other institutions cease to exist they will always be replaced by other religions or governments or institutions that will be just as bad or worse than those that they are replacing. While the existance of the WTS isn't a good thing I think whether or not they exist has very little consequence in the big picture of world events. Don't get me wrong, if there is ever a class action lawsuit over the blood issue I want to be a part of it. But the complete destruction of the WTS just isn't that high on my list of things that I really would like to see happen in this world. I guess what happens to the WTS just isn't that important to me anymore. I guess that is good, probably means that I'm moving on with life.
