i do apologize for my extreme ignorance, but i am curious.. who the hell are honey boo boo, sugar bear and mama june??.
and more to the point.. why the hell are some americans so obsessed with them?.
i just don't get it.. .
I think they are forcing us to buy HBO...they are making TV so terrible that you have to take a higher package.
I've had the same thought. Even networks like AMC or FX that have better quality programming, aren't on basic packages. You have to buy the most expensive package to actually watch the shows you want.

I do apologize for my extreme ignorance
Sometimes ignorance is a virtue.
when i was a hyperactive kid, i used to like boxing, and of course muhammad ali.
he was a great athlete, with a one-of-a-kind style who made a stand for his beliefs.. now that i'm older, i admire athletes that are quieter and get on with the job in hand - joe frazier, for example.. i'd like to put american racial politics and ali's tragic current condition to one side and focus on the following:.
how good a fighter was ali?.
But if he had been a contemporary of Mike Tyson at his peak, he would have met his match.
Maybe. It would have been great to see a fight of such contrasting styles. But Tyson never fought anyone who was close to Ali's caliber. Holmes was well past his prime when Tyson beat him. And the first time he fought someone who wasn't afraid of him, he lost. But Tyson at his peak, under Cus D'Amato, was ferocious.
from the moment i saw the preview, i became a little emotional.
maybe because the main character is thinking of the future of his child?
it does remind me of my struggles as a fading parent.
Same here. Especially with Christopher Nolan at the director's helm. I don't see movies out in the theater much anymore, but I'll definitely be watching this one.

giants are headed to the world series !

I guess I was wrong about KC not needing to worry about facing Bumgarner again. The guy is a machine.

Why is that family making this woman a media spectacle? Some people want to be in the limelight so much!
I don't know if that was ignorance, or a misguided attempt at humor. It isn't her family exploiting her. She's chosen herself to go public with her illness in an attempt to raise awareness for end-of-life decisions, and a person's right to die with dignity.

It's going the distance!
At least the Royals don't have to worry about Baumgarner anymore, though he did say he was available to pitch if needed. I just can't see them using him for more than an inning on only 2 days rest.
i remember many years ago we would talk about those who leave the org.
something bad will happen to them.
because god was mad at them for turning away from the wt.
No. I live with less fear now then when I was a witness. I no longer see the entire world as a cesspool of evil that I need to be protected from.
at one point, didn't the society teach that adam and eve either would not be resurrected or, if so, they would not attain the kingdom of heaven?
i remember that a number of years ago, a jw told me that john the baptist also would not obtain eternal life in the kingdom of heaven.
their evidence was matthew 11:11, where jesus says, "verily i say unto you, among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than john the baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.".
Im glad Adam will be in Paradise...I wanna see if he has a belly button.
I have it on good authority that he had an outie.
i would be very interested to hear from you ladies on this one.
i know that the society keeps women in subjugation through the headship cr@p but didn't ahve any sense about hoew prehistoric the attitudes are until the other day when we were driving out of the supermarket car park and my wife spotted a woman dressed in tight shorts (it has been very hot here) and she commented 'they say that women who dress like that dserve to be raped'.
i did a wtf and overreacted 'how can you blame the victim like that - such attitudes give men a lciense to commit rape and make women feel they are to balme if they get raped which in turn means that rape doesn't get reported and it gopes on with impunity.
One of my final "wake-up" moments was when a bunch of us brothers got called to the back room and counselled for not doing enough to reach out for ministerial servant positions, because there was such a shortage. I remember the elder saying that it was a slap in the face to the sisters who were doing more, and could be ministerial servants if only they were men. And I remember thinking to myself, why should that prevent them, especially if they were meeting the qualifications, and there was such a demand for qualified servants. I was well into my fade at the time, and it just helped confirm to me that wasn't the 'truth'.
