...it was an effective speech.
i was impressed, and thought it only fair to say so here given the recent political discussions.
Well, as long as we're admitting things, I'll admit that I was kinda-sorta watching pro wrestling during most of last night's speech. But yes, what I did see of it was delivered unusually well for him.
*Rochelle.
being a sociable sort of animal i enjoy the cut and thrust of lively pub banter in the mid-evening.
however, there are only about 3 or 4 of us who take part in on-line discussion forums such as this.. time and again, because it is known that i take part in this forum, i am asked the same sort of question: .
"do americans in general realise that the uk is totally 100% behind them in this present crisis, not just the politicians, but the grass roots of the country, do they know that we feel outraged at the wtc attack, as outraged as if it had been on london?".
Englishman, I shall always have a special place in my heart for the country that gave the world Elton John and J.K. Rowling. And I actually got a bit misty-eyed when I saw how much you guys love your American "cousins."
In other words... yeah... we know. And thanks.

some of you have read posts here, and on other forums, in magazines and newspapers, and maybe watched tv commnetary that alleges president george w. bush is less than brilliant, perhaps under-qualified for office, etc.. evidence seems starkly missing from these allegations.
during campaign 2000, the media started painting gw as being mentally 'one can short of a six-pack.
' but, has anyone, and i mean anyone provided even an ounce of evidence to support this?
Amazing,
To take it literally, and blow it up into some major faux paux is to merely detract ourselves into yet another self-indulged set of deabtes over nothing.
Who's debating? All I did was state my personal opinion in a single sentence, and my response was addressed to Seeker. You have your opinion; I have mine. I'm quite content to leave it at that.

Seeker,
Let alone the idiocy of announcing last week that he is determined "to rid the world of evil-doers."
That one'll likely keep me wincing for many years to come.

i appreciate the words of another poster who commented that he felt it unwise to post in anger.
i have tried to hold calm and keep my anger in check, but that started to change with my nato posting yesterday.. i am set back over 30 years: i was raised to respect all races, and not to be prejudiced.
i was also raised a proud american, and that it was important not to tolerate bullies.
The only thing that's changed within me is that I've become more aware of my own mortality. Going further than that is just... too big; I don't like to think too deeply about things that are beyond my control, since that only makes me depressed, angry and scared, and I can't change them anyway. So I focus on the things that ARE within my reach and let the people in charge of the rest worry over whatever lies beyond it.
I try to keep in closer contact with my family and my girlfriend now. I try to worry less over what other people may think of me, what might go wrong, etc., and simply focus on 1)doing the big things I want to do before I die and 2)enjoying all the little things that make me happy. I can't give blood (I'm 12 pounds under the minimum weight), but I WILL be donating bottled water to help the people who need it. I want to help others while I still can.
At any moment, without any warning, you could be killed, maimed, or otherwise rendered incapable of giving help to others, doing the things you love, or enjoying the love of the people who mean the most to you. Time and life are just too precious to waste on useless anger and hatred. Try to seek happiness while you still can.
Love to all,
*Rochelle.
whether or not you believe the bible to be true, you must admit that the portrayal of some of its characters are really dumb.
my picks for stupidest characters in the good book are:.
eve: gets the dunce cap and the invite to stand in the corner everlastingly.
You forgot Adam, dude. After all, he IS the one who had explicit directions directly from God not to eat the fruit, and he was also told -- again, by GOD ALIMIGHTY -- that if he ate it, he would die. But when got an eyeful of Eve's nice knockers, he forgot all that and said, "Duh... OKAY!"
I don't think men have changed much since.
*Rochelle, diving into her bomb shelter.
oh ... sitting there ... waiting for the interminable end of the dreary and elongated rambling of someone with no public speaking skills at all ... please end ... anything to break this monotony is welcome ... even singing about 'christian youths' would be more welcome ... music pllllllease ... ahah 'now brothers, we will move into the service meeting with song number 47' ... and out blares ... guns'n'roses 'black leather' .... what cd would you like to sneak in there huh ?
Which CD? Easy: Limp Bizkit, Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water. Which track: #6, "Rollin' (air raid vehicle)". If you haven't heard the song, the lyrics don't much matter, but I guarantee you this lovely and inspirational tune would cause at least a few premature heart attacks.
Or maybe just for fun, "Start the Commotion" by The Wise Guys.
"Wire it up, baby!"

ginny, you said, .
i understand the thinking, i guess, it's just that i was never (am not) that way.
if i am a laughingstock, it is only because i believed the way you presented yourself.
Bigboi,
You've got to make it down here for the Mardi Gras girl! Maybe even the Decadence Festival! What cha say boo?
I would, but I am BROKE! Maybe if I get a great job between now and the end of the year, I'll think about going on vacation to someplace besides my parents' house.
Later,

*g* This looks familiar. One more thing I've always had some trouble with: the need to ALWAYS have the last word. I can understand it, though, so I'm not complaining.
Anyway....
Six of Nine,
Sunchild, he didn't keep his end of the bargain. Don't waver in your sexual orientation for him! Do it for me instead.
