When I was a kid I was brought up in the UPC Pentecostal church. I was afraid of everything because just about everything could send you to hell - watching TV, wearing pants (for a female), cutting your hair (female), movies...the list goes on.

I have tried to do some research about other peoples experiences but I get nothing. There is no way I was the only one who went through this!

I would like to know others stories.

The only one up for my State California is Barbara Boxer....hope she goes...and then Feinstein...oh then hopefully Pelosi when she is up. The state is broke

Regardless of what party she belongs to...California needs some business sense.

Sure, she will have a battle on her hands...but California is becoming a slum.

What do other Californians say?

could be early 90's. It starts with heavy synthesizer and then to heavy guitars. The words go something like this....love you so...I won't let you go. I know that is VERY little info...but perhaps someone will recognize it???

I personally loved it.

Everything he said was true to the Republican ideals that the words of Jefferson - life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness - does not come from the government!!!

George W Bush was dubya

I heard today someone call Obama "giggles" because of his BIZARRE laughing during the interview...

Go onto some game shows to raise money?

For example:

Deal or no Deal

Wheel of Fortune

Jeopardy

Perhaps some family Feud???

This way it will fill his desire to be seen, be cute, and talk talk talk all the time AND help the recession.

How many of you (that have school aged kids) have had their kids talk about how since Obama was elected they are being verbally persecuted or have seen their bus driver or teacher persecuted?

My kids are dealing with a group of kids on the school bus.

I am not trying to stir anything up, it's an honest question.

I know we contribute a LOT of money...but are we getting the bang for the buck?

My Grandma too is screaming all the time that we have no use for the United Nations.

What do you all think?

How many of you have had this discussion with co-workers or friends?

I know that any conversation I have had with my friends who are the opposite race have not turned out very well.

Most of my friends are not the same color as I am.

What exactly are we supposed to be discussing anyway?

Do words mean anything anymore?

I have a British friend, and he is apalled at the things I do that are normal for me. Examples are:

watching 2 girls 1 cup and laughing, he thought I was disgusting, but here it is quite famous and laughable.

Letting my kids watch scary movies (12 and 14 yr olds)

Politics that are too numerous to write....

He thinks Americans are quite stupid

How do I argue this to him? I am happy, he is stuffy...AND he is 9 years YOUNGER than me! You would think he would be more liberal in things....but he isn't, except for politics.

Please help my argument

I am having a hard time with a research paper about this subject and I can't seem to think of the right way of saying it...thanks for any help!!!

Newsweek on Charlie Rose....here is the link to a youtube video.

Ok, did anyone see that Alfred E Smith dinner where McCain and Obama roasted eachother? It was friggin hilarious because they were making jokes and self depreciation. Now, I have seen a few posts about how Michelle Obama reminds people of Aunt Ester...and I laughed like an idiot. Aunt Ester was everyones favorite on Sanford & Son. I don't think it is necessarily an insult because how many fat people you know are called slim? People need to settle down and take some time to appreciate a JOKE. Any thoughts on this? Or will I just be called racist?

Have we destroyed our relationships with our friends and families? Since having a different opinion, I have not been invited for dinner over to my parents home...as I said, it was a different opinion - not a shouting match. Are we so passionate about these candidates that we are willing to say F Off to those who mean so much to us?

Does he look like he is a gift....but really brings destruction?

I swear, I am spent. I have had every argument under the sun, stated my case a million times....and soooo can't wait to talk about the weather once again. Also, I have already cast my vote....can't wait for the day after...wait, I take that back because that will just open up a new can of argument...so let's just say I can't wait for this time next year when the weather is the Hot Topic.

Why is this? I am having a debate with a European friend and I just can't seem to get him to understand the statement I just made above. Some one help?
