duluth, mnmilton jarry, an antique dealer with 29 years of experience buying and selling rare collectibles and furnishings, announced monday that he is sick of estimating the value of smurf collections and other "piles of pop-culture detritus.
"if one more person brings in a 'rare' figurine of smurfette in a jogging suit, i'm going to set it on fire," said jarry, owner of the finer things, a cortland avenue antique shop.
"that goes double for brainy smurf ceramic piggy banks.

are you the type to do things your way all the time and make your own errors, or do you rely on the experience of older, wiser persons to guide you in life and hope to make less errors?.

I am one that beleives in both the wisdom of older generations as well as making your own mistakes .. I think when it comes down to a choice that I have to make on a serious issue I would sum up others advice and also my own perspective and take the wisest choice from my perspective. I mean depending one what it's to do with some advice might work for you and other advice might not be best suited to you, we are all unique inderviduals and somtimes what works well for others will completely stuff you up.
I'm no good with my sentence structure tonight, I hope you get what I mean.

the government here is claiming that support for the war is growing and encouraging people to 'get behind our forces'.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/2863055.stm.
i think they are taking advantage of the fact that people will naturally support "our forces" to make out that people are then supporting the governments actions.
to put it another way, just because people oppose the war does not mean that they want "our forces" to lose.
I agree with you Simon .. American, English, Australian and whoever else fighting the fight has my support. It's neither nice or pleasant but they have a job to do and who are we to say that we don't support them ?
I have to say I fairly split over this issue of the need of war at the moment, but I think a few factors are clear, somthing needs to be done about the situation but innocent people should be got out of the way and not injured, some may say you can't have it both ways, but one would hope you can.

being here almost everyday, we get to know each other and often friendships start from this forum.
we get to know who we like and dislike.
some friendships here are better than in actual life.. does it frustrate you to know that 99% of the people here, you will never see?.
It does frustrate me a little .. there seem to be alot of people here I would like to meet in real life but seeming as I live in Australia that doesnt seem likely to happen

the last war with iraq started the night of the last chance to comply.
when do you predict this one will start?
my guess?
There are alot of bloody hands on all sides here and I for one want to have nothing to do with it .. If I had it in my power I would scoop up all those kids mothers and families and take em to a tropical island with lots of food and drink and shelter so they never have to live with that shit again.
And lets face it ... all the freedom we have regardless of our daily dramas pale in comparison to what these people have to deal with.

Return if you like it's your decision but can I point out a few things ...
It is just like they fortold....death, destruction, illness, aging, famine, instability....This has been going on since WW I.....
This is the worst time in human history
These things have been going on since the bible has been written .. it's human history, read your bible again and make note on a peice of paper (actually you might need a few more peices of paper) evertime you read about death, destruction, illness, aging, famine and instability its all there and pretty gory and bloody.
The fact that we are "aging" really brought it home...I don't believe people aged like we are today. Between wrinkles and sun damage, I believe our live span is shorter than ever in history.
Our age expectancy is going back up from the ages of 50's and 60's that were recorded in the 1970 to our current time, people are living into their 90's there are medical proceedures that they are coming up with that is combating aging as well as many diseases.
I also don't know how you can say:
This has convinced me that the society is the true FDS and I need to return.Have you read anything that has been posted on here about the child abuse thats been covered up not to mention the union with the United Nations the WTS had. If the UN is the wildbeast and the FDS had ties with it do you think they arnt accountable ?

Well I'm not convinced ... how is this war different from the gulf war ?
.
how often did they tell us that we should at least once read the whole bible from cover to cover.. i never did that, why, because i was overloaded with meetings and field service, and my job.. did you??
?
Blondie I would to know how you liked the buddist stuff and the other like minded material. I have oftne wanted to research them but never give myself the time to. I hear they are alot more harmonious than the bible.
