I did have a very unexpected reaction going on to college. Suddenly the full weight of planning a future hit me and this sense of dread just decended that didn't go away for a long time. Just a worry that I wasn't good enough. That and being away from home for the first time, I just felt...

That is probably true, but at the same time there's no excuse for stereotyping a whole group based on the actions of a few.

The public should keep buying the terror thing; sadly it is very much real. They just shouldn't keep buying into the idea that the two party system is working. ;)

How can you tell that? I mean that someone is deliberately doing it to everyone, as opposed to just random people doing it. Not being rude just asking.

At this point he's more of a media figure than anything else.

Heh, and what if the man develops Alzheimer's? And yes that is pretty hypocritical; to accuse others of messing up marriage while at the same time permitting others to that very thing.

aedi dooG. ;)

Just because he was bullied doesn't mean it wasn't a terrorist act. Again, it's not a matter of either one or the other. It's both. Bottom line, I just think some the peace protestors lacked a sense of balance. They needed to say "Yes the US is guilty. But yes, there is also a terrorist...

It just says that the US hasn't been entirely innocent. It doesn't mean there isn't a genuine terrorist threat. It's not a matter of one or the other. It's both. Thank goodness. But it means we're lucky, not safe. Plus what about the Fort Hood situation?

No but it felt like some did play down the threat or try to play down just how oppressed people are over there.

Yes, that is also true. "But if I really say it, the radio won't play it. Unless I lay it between the lines." ;)

Yeah but let's face it, the average person was able to go on with their lives. If you approach it as "talking sense into people," you can be sure they won't listen. Why should they listen when you're telling them they lack sense? I thought Roger & Me was a very important film. But after...

Well for one, there was no draft. The Iraq and Afghanistan wars only affected families who children willingly went to war. Everyone else just went on with their lives. Also, sometimes the peace protests took on a sort of "Hanoi Jane" vibe, where the threat of terrorism was played down. Just...

Well there are many perks to youth, but you also can't beat experience. ;) Hippies had their good points and bad points. The bad points of course were that many of them were middle class kids who could afford to "drop out" for awhile without worrying too much about the consequences. Plus many...

Heh. Good question. ;) Ultimately, the politicans are putting up this facade of liberal vs conservative and we're the suckers buying into it. In reality, these politicans are all friends and they only care about you during voting season. That's why I can't in good conscience join either party...

Well it's hard to be a rebel when you're the establishment religion of a country, lol. You're a kid and it's your parents' religion and you're being taught the morals like it's a school lesson. It's hard to see how that can be rebellious. However if I watch something like Jesus Christ...

Letters to Santa. :) I don't mind not knowing the stars, sometimes it's cool to learn more about pop culture figures from the past. As far as "bad guests," for me it's just that sometimes the guests and the skits just don't gell.

Yeah I finally did get to see one of the comics at the library and I see what you're saying. It's the Muppet Show, but with more possibilities for exploring the characters' relationships.

Well yeah see it was good that the tasteless stuff was gone, but then you could argue LTS was a bit too childish, lol. Balance is the key. ;) I just don't know, I gave up on MT after one episode. And the clips I've heard on the MC radio didn't change my mind. I know sometimes a series need...

Life is a bit too scary for most of us in society, on many levels. Culture can and does change, but it takes time and often some major events. Like I fully believe our two party system will destroy itself eventually, and then we'll have to deal with the issues our leaders refused to look at...
