I'm not in the habit of doing the cyber hug/cuddle, but I've never been suspect of those who do. Anything I express on this board is real. If I offer sympathy or empathy, it is nothing but genuine. -Potential

I do like myself for the most part. I realize there are parts of my personality that I don't care for, and I am working hard to change those. -Potential

Okay, I guess no one here has seen "I am Legend", otherwise it would have been listed already- excellent movie, Will Smith never disappoints. Speaking of, "I, Robot" was also great. LOVE the Batman! The last Dark Knight movie was the best of the bunch, although I did like the Michael Keaton Batman films. The one due out this summer looks awesome- can't wait! Also looking forward to the new Indiana Jones flick. If you like the TMNT last year's Turtle movie was pretty cool. My all time favorites are the Peter Sellers Pink Panther movies. I am a huge Johnny Depp fan- check out "The Libertine" if you haven't seen it, and one of his lesser known films- "Dead Man" is one of his best. That's all I can think of right now... -Potential

President Obama and a Democrat Congress Will....
by owenfieldreams in1) raise taxes, and not just capital gains.
income taxes will be raised as well.
and if you make more than $200k/yr, you are "rich", and defined as such you will get soaked; thus, you will have little incentive to keep earning what you do now,--the opportunity to make a nice profit will simply not be there....and all of us working stiffs fortunate enough to make over $50 k/ yr, you better hold on to your wallets as well... we are going to pay for the social security bailout.

Tired- Screw us more than we've ever been screwed before? REALLY? 'Cause I'm pretty raw right now from the last 8 years of being screwed! Screwed out of my civil rights. screwed over by the rich swinging dick president and his asshole sidekick who've gotten richer while sending the country spiraling into a deep pit of debt we'll be lucky to ever climb out of. Screwed over by the tax breaks given to all their rich jerkoff friends and associates. Screwed out of cleaner air and protected forestland by a man who JUST NOW thinks it would be a good idea to have some sort of plan to deal with climate change- too little too late jackass! I could go on with the screwing- there's been a LOT of it lately.
Obama might not be the be all end all cure all, but he's a damned sight better than the fool on the hill. Other countries respect the Senator and will feel more like we, as a country, are moving toward change. We cannot continue to be the "world police". We can't f'ing afford it! This is a man who is willing to sit down and negotiate with all comers- yes, it seems you have to actually dialog with people to resolve situations- imagine that! If there were more talking and less shooting done we'd be much better off right now.
BTW- yes, I'm pro-gun. I'm a Texas girl through and through. Just a reminder- Dubya is NOT a native Texan, and I've come to doubt that he is even human at all...seems closer to some kind of walking talking non-thinking jellyfish. Horribly ugly, and with a nasty sting if you get too close!

like so many others, googled Jehovah's Witnesses. Hit a couple of other sites, then found this one- looked like good information, which is exactly what I was seeking. Found that and so much more here. Thank you all! -Potential

To the Christians...
by VoidEater into the christians on the board:.
thank you for living up to the best your beliefs have to offer.
with very few exceptions, my flailings and rantings as i refine my own "truth" have been greeted with patience and kindness, or kindly ignored.. i do not foresee that i will ever return to a belief system that you hold dear, yet i do respect your beliefs - and appreciate your insights.

Void- it's a give and get thing- you give respect, therefore you receive it in kind. Any "true" Christian worth his or her salt will be tolerant to a fault. Sometimes we may push back a bit, but always being considerate of the other person's feelings. Isn't that what it is to love your neighbor as yourself? I think so. Thanks for your thoughtful post. It still blows me away that dubs are taught that Christians as a whole are not to be trusted. I know some dubs who refer to themselves as Christians- how does that jive???! -Potential

Post-War Suicides May Exceed Combat Deaths, U.S. Says
by nvrgnbk inby avram goldstein.
may 5 (bloomberg) -- the number of suicides among veterans of wars in iraq and afghanistan may exceed the combat death toll because of inadequate mental health care, the u.s. government's top psychiatric researcher said.
community mental health centers, hobbled by financial limits, haven't provided enough scientifically sound care, especially in rural areas, said thomas insel, director of the national institute of mental health in bethesda, maryland.

Could anything be more sad or sick? This never ending war has divided our nation, sent us into ever growing debt and taken thousands of precious lives. The current war has produced more amputees than any other, possibly more than all previous combined. The fact that these folks who have sacrificed everything by putting their lives on the line don't get the benefits they were promised and have rightfully earned is indescribably disgusting. I pray for our military and civilians in the war zones every day: that God will keep them mentally and physically strong and healthy, faithful, moral and accountable, and that He brings them home as quickly as possible and with as little loss of life and limb as possible. -Potential.
