  james woods has been a long time regular on this discussion group in all of its incarnations.. he had some kind of "heart-attack" and has been in dallas' emergency ward for several days.

  he also has a blood clot doctors are working to break up.. 972-261-4412 is his cell number.. he was in a talking mood yesterday afternoon.. i bet it wouldn't kill him to get some well-wishes.. james goes back a long way as an ex-jw.

  he knows where the bodies are buried :).

  The fact is in this country the likelihood of being killed by a demented white Christian gun nut male are far higher than being killed by a demented muslim.

  True.

  Happy Veterans Day! (America)

  people have varied and strong feelings about politics and wars, but you can't deny the courage a sacrifice of our veterans.

  too often they do not get the honor they deserve.

  in this country once they come home their sacrifice and heroism is too quickly forgotten.

  I would hope that Shadow is being sarcastic, with a point. Americans can be jingoistic to grossness. I appreciate Veterans who do their job no matter how horrific. Or pointless. But it's a good idea to remember that most military action is only for the benefit of a very few who have something to gain.

  "What a thing to say Shadow ? War is the biggest insanity that humans can commit " TS, I assume that is essentially what Shadow is saying?

  since this will be the norm in america, perhaps we should put a date on each of these topics.

  can't really put school mass shooting because too many to choose from.

  so, here i am again....asking more questions to help me understand my wife.

  she was brought up in the cult in the 70's and 80's.

  so i can only imagine what kind of indoctrination she deals with.

  Heh, I'll never forget not long after the Exorcist came out, they had the paperback on the counter at the grocery store. I absently picked it up to see what it was (I was maybe 12/13), and my mother nearly had a heart attack. Screamed and grabbed it out of my hand throwing it down on the counter like it was on fire.

  Helen Keller is not a hero

  few realize just how wicked some of the most revered people in history were.

  helen keeler (1880 to 1968) was a wolf in sheep's clothing, no hero.

  keller was a communist.

  Hey LisaRose!

  I watch very little "tv". Mostly movies and recorded shows. There are a few premium channel shows that I am really enjoying. Now that I think about it, it's almost all British. I just started watching Wolf Hall which I recorded. I actually liked the first episode, hated the book. I'll look for George Gently.

  Penny Dreadful is definitely growing on me. I love the setting and general story.
