I did say within my post that ilikemuppets is entitled to his/her viewpoints. Claiming that we are dirt and should burn is disrespectful. And hardly Christian. Not what Jesus had in mind.

Wow. Do you even hear yourself? Jesus was an actual person who lived and died. An extraordinary person, but a person nonetheless, regardless of whether one chooses to believe he was the Son of God or not. Before he arrived there were good people, bad people, insane people, boring people...

There's some truth to that but I certainly don't look back with an unbalanced fondness for it. The '50s and '60s were not better than now in terms of the times we were living through, not by a long shot. By 1964 this country was going to **** in a handbasket from within. We had homegrown...

D'Snowth, I meant to address your point about crime. A few factors must be remembered - first, that almost every institution which housed the mentally ill, the insane and the criminally insane was closed across the country starting in the late '70s and finishing up in the '90s. While it is...

postcript: probably the saddest change is also the most miraculous one - the Internet. A miracle tool allowing us to know the world in undreamed-of ways, it at the same time keeps people indoors, on their backsides, and away from hands-on work, craftmanship, and real-life interpersonal...

I was born in 1957. Dwight Eisenhower was in the second term of his Presidency. I remember the black-and-yellow fallout shelter signs posted on the sturdiest public buildings letting you know where to seek safety in case of nuclear attack from Russia. I remember when teenage girls and women...

I loved Copper Beech, love Binchy's work generally. Just finished DaVinci Code and am in the middle of Driving Through Cuba, by Carlos Gebler, a British citizen. It's a diaristic account of a three-month car trip he took east to west through Cuba and the insane experience it turned out to be...

*crash of thunder, bolts of lightning* ah ah ahhh . . . that's zero, zero e-mails, ah ah ah. :p:attitude: :(

LOL. "Honey, when are you going to mow the **** prawn?"

Very nice to see you, Vic. I'll always have that avvie, 365 days a year. :) :) :)

That was AndyWan and I, who are both possessed of the inexplicable extraordinary power to extinguish streetlights simply by passing by or under them. It must be our electrifying personalities. :crazy: :) :crazy:

There once was a Writer named Beau Whose career was All Systems Go But he got all entwined In post counts divine At the time, it seemed apropos They say he's been seen in Bordeaux Streetbegging with upturned chapeaux Others say he's been gamblin' Playing poker and ramblin' About...

All cows are doing well. They went on to other battles after the Rebellion, and are currently stationed in Switzerland - home of snow, skiing, fondue, secret bank accounts and candies extraordinaire - and where a small war has broken out between those who love the time-honored dark chocolate...

Count, have you considered bugs? Bugs are an infinite world and lend themselves to mutation in your mind, thus becoming originals. They'd be highly tactile if you wanted them to be - they'd lend themselves handily to raised stitched renderings on caps, badges, and as little symbols on shirts...

possible that I'm the only one but I also don't care: Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Paris Hilton and Jennifer Aniston are all Really Really Strange-looking. Seeing as how they are alleged Beautiful People. Family Guy is NOT a masterpiece; rather, in reality, it's just a way to kill half an...

got muppets? Kermit Permit Required mfg. by London Frog :cool:

Well, gosh, let's see - I think a few of our illustrious Senators could afford to kick in a little in the way of donations, share a little of the burden of regular Joe Donator who gets hit up every ten seconds through both his taxes and voluntary donations to keep PBS and NPR going. Senator...

A Brief History of Spam, and Its Crucial Role During the Second World War :) :cool: :) As America entered World War II, SPAM luncheon meat played a crucial role overseas. With Allied forces fighting to liberate Europe, Hormel Foods provided 15 million cans of food to troops each week...
