has anyone ever heard of suing their parents for raising them as a member of a cult?.

kids sue their parents for other forms of abuse and courts take such lawsuits seriously.

do you think it would be possible to win a lawsuit brought because your parents chose to force you into a cult?.

People who Talk During Movies

you know, to take three people to the movies now, including snacks and drinks can cost $50.00 or more.

it burns my biscuits when someone brings a bunch of kids in and then has absolutely no interest in ensuring that they don't disrupt the viewing.

worse, some folks drop their kids off at the movies and have no idea that they are being little hellions and ruining the expensive experience for others.. then, there is the guy who wants to see the movie but keeps his blackberry going all through it so that if you are sitting behind him, every time he gets a call and that blinding little blue glare pops up you are distracted.

Healthcare Reform - The President's Address to Congress - How will it impact your profession?

i posted this in another thread, but thought it deserved a serious discussion topic of it's own.

does anyone else work in the insurance industry, or are you involved in regulations or benefits plan design and administration?

if so, would you be interested in a discussion of the speech and perhaps healthcare reform's anticipated impact on their own profession?.

Diane Sawyer - World Nightly News

i'm sure she is a real nice person, but i was disappointed to learn that diane sawyer was replacing charles gibson on the world nightly news.

she's always been very difficult to watch since whenever she disagrees with someone she's interviewing, she gets this "i just smelled something obscene" look on her face.

after that, her face freezes in this very sour look for some time.
