Saints Win? Maybe Brees Is 'Breesus' {Fanhouse - Jay Mariotti}
Feb 8th 2010 4:34PM You had me in complete agreement until your assertion that the Focus on the Family commercial should not have been allowed. Wouldn't want anyone promoting anything conservative..or Biblical, would we? OK that pushed the super sexualized GoDaddy website because it doesn't challenge the viewers to consider morality. Do you have any idea how many celebs/writers lose a big part of their following when they put their politics out there? Rachael Ray, Babs Streisand, Dixie Chicks. People like you think you have an opinion and that makes you somehow enlightened. Get a clue.. Ray's job is to cook, Steisand and the D Chicks are entertainers, and you are supposed to write things that make people chuckle. Take a bit of advice from Alice Cooper and shut up about your politics. An opinion doesn't make you an expert. My twins were born at 29 weeks and one day. They were the same humanbeings after they came out of the womb as they were the minute before they came out. But they certainly qualified for late term abortion because of my health. People like you defend it because it's legal and a woman has the right to choose. What about all human beings having the "right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness"? Are they not human because they live in the womb? No, DNA disproves that. They are living..you can listen to their heart and see it beating with our technology. They feel pain...new born preemies can hardly stand to be touched because their skin is so sensitive. So, they are living humans who feel pain, and you're OK with women killing them in the name of choice. Was Andrea Yates wrong for killing her children? It was her choice, no? They were the same human beings that she carried in her womb, so why not? It's a disgusting thought that anyone could defend her actions as choice, isn't it? Now you have a clue. Even the most despised, violent criminal are killed with consideration to pain. Can you imagine the outcry if they had a shunt shoved into the back of their heads and their brains sucked out? Or disolved in salt? Or dismembered? You should consider what it means when you stand against something..because it means means you stand for something. And though you're obviously a talented writer, the consequence of your stand will mean that people like me won't be among your following..and we communicate with others who stand against the intentional killing of innocent humans, so you won't lose just one. Alice Cooper is obviously wiser than the average entertainer
Plastic Surgery for Your Back Fat Is Here at Last {Lemondrop}
Sep 15th 2008 3:49PM It's sad to me how careless and judging people can be to other people when they are safely behind a computer screen. I know I've done it, thinking that it's just a game of tit for tat, not thinking that there's a real person on the other end...and it's been done to me. I know I've posted things to people I disagree with that I would never, ever, say face to face. Not out of fear, but just because of common courtesy. I doubt those who have said impolite things to me via MBs would do it face to face for the same reason. There are probably a few social inept people who don't recognize social boundaries and they act the same way in the real world as in the cyber, but only a relative few. I wish everyone would stop to ask themselves if they would say to another person face to face what they intend to write.
To the topic at hand.. We humans have fat on us by design. Magazines and models impose their version of the "ideal' shape and size on society, and real people can't live up to that...but still we believe on some level that we must try because we want be accepted by society (perhaps we should consider that we are society and begin to focus on more productive things, no?). As I grow older, my definition of beauty evolves. Some may argue that my views are changing because my body is changing, and it's my own vanity that has changed my thinking. Though there may be some truth in that, I know that it's so much more. And it's more than the "inner beauty" thing (though it's part of what makes up the whole). Example: In Hawaii, very large Samoan (sp?) women keep the art of hula alive...you can see them at sunset on rocky cliffs or at surfs edge, and their beauty is breathtaking. They don't have anything resembling an hourglass shape, and they are beautiful. And for those ignorant to hula, I assure you it isn't even close to inactive -- I've tried it. Hula gives any Jane Fonda workout a run for its money. And as for other women.. you see every shape, size and color walking on beaches with their children in Hawaii... most are truly pretty. How ignorant it is to look at a mother and only see lost muscle tone and stretch marks. Would someone look at a soldier who has the scars of war and not see the hero and his amazing attributes? Mothers willingly sacrifice their youthful bodies for sake of their offspring. When I became insecure over my appearance after the birth of my twins, my wonderful husband told me that healthy is sexy and beautiful, not a certain dress size. When I let myself believe that truth, I stopped obsessing over my weight and started working to become healthy again. I am chronically ill, but I can still work toward being as healthy as I can be...I can be beautiful with the body I have right now. Everyone can be. And to those who understand completely where I'm coming from, please remember that you can be beautiful with the body you have now. Don't wait to lose weight before you get your hair done the way you've always wanted to. Don't put off that shopping trip for some nicer clothes. Your skin deserves pampering today...and so do your nails. And if allergies don't prevent it, your hair and skin will thank you for consuming daily fruits/veggies/water. Being a size 6 isn't everything...in fact, it really doesn't matter one way or another to me anymore. Some people are shallow and don't see that size doesn't define beauty...but why on Earth should we worry over anything that shallow people think about us?
Webb's Feeling Confident {AOL Elections Blog}
Nov 8th 2006 7:07PM I believe it's prudent to wait for all votes to be counted before Webb arrogantly states as fact that he has won. With a mere swing of 7000 and all votes not counted (keep in mind that a great many active duty military people live in VA and are deployed or TDY, so they had to vote via absentee ballot...and they usually vote conservative) it's certainly not time for Allen to concede. Let every vote count and be counted. Webb may infact be the winnner in the end, but it's not the end. When all votes are counted and if/when it is official that he is the winner, I will accept what the voters have decided and hope that our country fares well under the change in leadership. The GOP has been arrogant, and (as a military wife) they haven't shown the support for our military that I expected of them, so a small serving of humble pie may help them to remember not to bite the hands which feed them. I believe this will be a short lived victory for Democrats though...there is another vote in two years and with the liklihood that Democrats like Pelosi will be pushing their ultra-liberal agenda down our throats, the moderate majority will bring down the Democratic majority and hopefully bring true balance so that we're all represented fairly. I'm saddened by the reality that people allowed themselves to have tunnel vision and make this a single issue vote, there is so much they failed to consider in the bigger picture but it's happened before and it'll send the message that they want it to send. No matter their reasons, I love our system. Politicians come and go, but our system is enduring.
