  hey PR,
  sorry to hear about your mother. And your father, for that matter.

  Heads up that I responded a bit late to another thread you started:

  Hey PR,
  I'm a Lindier. Savoy style, as it's the best- but I'm not biased, of course. Been doing it for seven+ years.
  Shoot me an email, if you like.

  Hmmmm, I'll pretend I'm reading and maybe nobody will talk to me.

  "Yay! We're having koolaid with dinner tonight!"

  Wow! Sorry I missed this thread!

  Every now and again something comes along and reminds me that I'm in an "inter-racial" relationship.

  Otherwise, I tend to forget.

  It's a little weird when you realize that people weighing in on inter-racial relationships are talking about you.

  I've got a good thing. A real good thing...

  Just a reminder that the article includes an email for the reporter. The more emails/buzz you generate, the more likely you'll have future press coverage for the cause!

  Trouble in my neck of the woods...

  I noticed HochiMin decided to include the reporters email address.

  Anyone feel like dropping a line? Remember, the more feedback they get, the more likely they are to cover this and similiar stories in the future!!

  Attending the "right" hall

  by freedom96 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there always seemed to be such a big stink about making sure you went to the hall that you were assigned to.

  whatever territory that you lived in, that would be the hall assignment, whether you liked it or not.. if you chose not to go to your assigned hall, boy was there ever flack.

  you could get severely counciled for it.. just seems to be another stupid rule that they would get upset about.

  I never heard about any "territory" thing in my old church (catholic), to a number of catholic churches when the schedule wasn't working to well at our own. Church sluts, I say!

  However a friend of mine was told that she couldn't marry at our childhood church because of some sort of territory issue. Of course it had nothing to do with the fact that her father was once in the seminary and had a contentious relationship with the main priest... nah!

  Pettiness exsists everywhere, that's for sure. But, I will say that while I was a practicing Catholic, I personally never had any problems with "territory". Then again, I really don't think I would have cared either way. Hmmm... maybe that's why I'm not practicing anymore...

  Murder of child Hitler

  by meadow77 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  someone posed this question to me the other day, and i have to say it has really had me thinking.

  we were discussing abortion, and they asked me if i would have killed hitler as a baby, knowing what he would do as an adult.

  i believe murder is wrong, but do you think it is justified saving others lives?

  and you dare to complain about hitler!

  Huh? Are you addressing me?

  I'm just noting that anyone who uses Hitler to bolster a prochoice argument ought to rethink their strategy. I mean, if I were "pro-life", I could just counter with a "what if the fetus was going to grow up to be Mother Theresa"? I wouldn't argue that way either, but hey, that's just me.

  So, I thought I'd throw a little biblegod approved abortion into the mix. You know, before someone started the whole "thou shalt not kill" thang.
