  the tour is just over 1/2 way, and he is only 21 seconds ahead.

  tomorrow is the individual time trial.

  i think that will be the determining factor.

  It's going to be tough for him , I think Ullrich will give him the best challenge and I wouldnt be surprised if Ullrich does take the yellow. Armstrong is inspirational with the cancer and his comeback.

  Do JW couples really have better relationships?

  by Latin assassin from Manhattan in

  are jw marriages any better than the ones 'in the world' as they put it?

  when they walk from door to door or mingle after a meeting they appear to be models of ideal marriages.

  do you have any experiences with married couples in the 'truth'?

  Is Society Really That Degraded?

  by pettygrudger in

  i just read this on another thread:it seems to me , that nowadays "anything goes" and thats a shame.

  do any of you really believe that our societies morals are any less decrepid than any other time in history?

  if so, can someone tell me of any time in history that was more "morally" righteous, pure or wholesome?.

  I was the one who wrote that statement in another thread..It had to do with the paintball hunting of naked women. My point was and is that a part of society wants to do whatever they want but not be held responsible for it. To me thats a cop-out. At least stand up to it, and be a better person for it. I see nothing wrong with that. It is what it is pure and simple. But, there are a lot of good people out there and the good ones outnumber the bad, thats why I'm here...

  Today was my D-Day ... I beat the odds!

  last year on july 15th, 2002, my cardiologist gave me less than a year to live.

  with the 14 remaining blocked arteries, there was not much hope.

  even a by-pass would only correct 3 or 4 arteries and give me a slight lease on life.

  Music was more original years ago. Many groups these days are influenced by artists of years past. I like music from "punk" to Johnny Cash. I always preferred music that had some meaning to it. Not "Oops , I did it again". Please, Britney and Christina are a dime a dozen.. Not all rap is about violence , hate or money, some of it is positive. Its just the usual money, sex, and violence that "sells"....

  maybe i'm in need of some enlightenment here.

  through the means of educational tv (such as the simpsons), i have always thought that a sufferer from tourettes syndrome cussed and swore for most of his waking life.. however, just a few moments ago, i encountered this in thursdays the times:.

  manchester united expect to complete the acquisition of tim howard, the american goalkeeper who suffers from tourettes syndrome, within a fortnight.

  Well, whatever Howard has, it hasnt hurt him here. He's a good 'keeper..He's third on the depth chart behind Kasey Keller and Brad Friedel for the US national team, and will eventually take them over.

  Why is it that in the GB there are mostly men of German descent?

  by azaria in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  or maybe some are austrian?.

  im not trying to offend any german people that may be on this board and if i did i apologize because that was not my intent.

  but i do think that some do have a need to be in control.
