  1. Re:Why I Love the ACLU on Two Groups File Domestic Spying Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    So I guess you are against the New Orleans mayor, for saying that God was punishing Americans, by "sending hurricane after hurricane" because we are in Iraq? Should he not be allowed to say those things, espescially in public, because he is a figurehead? It was an official, Government sponsored parade on MLK day. Should a person be disallowed to show a religion merely because they are in an elected office?

    On a similar note... what if the President wants to go to church? The Secret Service members would be forced to attend. Should the President then be disallowed attendance in a house of worship? Either way it will be unfair to someone.

    Exactly. My father was in Vietnam. Three members came back from his group. He's the only one who lasted more than 6 months. But he coped. He dealt. He still wakes up at night, drenched in sweat. But if you offered him a pill to make him forget, I doubt very much he'd take it. That'd be a disgrace, and a dishonor to the men who fought beside him. If he can cope with what he went through, I think the other posters can live through having a bad hair day.

    FTFS: "forget or perhaps simply never store the memories of what happened to them the way they are stored normally immediately after the traumatic event"
    Sounds to me like they are MADE for you to forget. Now the rapist can rape you, then force a piull down your throat, and you'd wonder why you were in an alley with your pants down around your ankles.

    The answer to this is to allow PvP by default... After they have to deal with the whole group a couple times... this would stop.

    We've been told health food is where it is at to the point where McDONALDS carries friggin salads. Don't tell me health food is unavailable. People are fat because they are lazy, moment-oriented idiots. They don't want to excericize, they'd reather sit and watch television. Ooooh, Desperate Housewives or Survivor 12? Which one should I watch... oh I'll put on on TiVo and watch it later. Give me a friggin break people. Sure, watch DH or Survivor... but do it on a treadmill. Or a stairstepper. If you have bad knees, do sit-ups, crunches and pushups. Hell, STRETCH! Move! Don't be sedentary. That's a good start.
    Don't blame your friggin problems on society. It makes me sick.
