Hopefully, non Americans can answer this.

Does familiarity breed contempt? Or is it just that weve run out of ideas, and once that happens, people start to get bored with you after awhile. The Japanese used to use Western actors and musicians to be spokesmen for their products, and it was considered stylish, but now they like using other Asian stars. Does this and other things signal the fall of Western Civilization? I think its a very telling sign.

I know alot of people are fed up with America because of its policies, but something tells me its not just the policies anymore, its us. Our music and films are becoming more similar to the world and the world is becoming closer to us, and we meet in the mediocre middle. So theres not much separation anymore.

We dropped a freakin atomic bomb on Japan and 30-40 years later they practically worshipped Americans, pretty remarkable.

I really like having small snails in my fish tanks to eat the extra food & keep the place clean. I'm having a real tough time finding them in local pet stores though.

My tanks currently contain:

1/2 gallon unfiltered with an African Dwarf Frog & 3 brown rams head snails (? That's what the pet store guy I went to called them. These are my favorites and I've been fairly successful with them, but he doesn't carry them anymore and I can't find them anywhere else.)

1 gallon with 3 small feeder goldfish & 1 brown Mystery snail (I've never have any luck with Mystery snails so I don't know why I wasted $7 CDN on another one, but not being able to find anything else I figured I'd try again...)

Both tanks also have 1 live plant.

I wondered... if these snails die... if I sort of quarantined them first (put them in fresh water & kept changing it for a week or so) could I just catch some in a lake & put them in there?

Thanks for your snail experience!!

A mother turned her head away from sexual abuse when the police could have been called and stopped the entire situation. But was afraid it would cause "the neighbors to talk". Years later, she claimed she knew nothing about it (denial had set in), and the last time I brought it up the response was "you wanted it and so you got what you deserved". I was 9 years old. Almost 50 now.

Im a Houston Astros fan and I really love the newfound rivalry with the St. Louis Cardinals. Ive always respected them as an opponent b/c I understand their capabilities and talent level, but but Ive never thought of them as a "classy" organization and I never thought of LaRussa as a guy with great character. My mind was changed tonight in a loss to the Tigers Kenny Roger's tonight.

Kenny Rogers had on his hand what appeared to be pine tar (was called dirt) and after a meeting with the umps he had to wash his hand after the first inning. Regardless of whether it was dirt or pine tar, there was no reason to make a big deal out of it b/c he still shut the Cards down for 7 more innings w/o anything on his hand. After the game LaRussa was asked about it and he said "after a guy has a performance like that im not gonna take anything away from him regardless of what it was" or something along those lines. That was damn classy, and the players acted the same.

I am curious how many feel the same way. I dont like the US invasion of Iraq because its morally objectionable but at the same time I despise how Islam is meant to target "infidels" and that terrorist attacks are not morally reprehensible to that populace.. Part of me thinks, "yeah give'em hell" for all the years of terrorism, pillage, and rape, but I am disturbed about the Iraq war and the allegations of torture, rape and murder.

My wife took an EPT Pregnancy test yesterday, and after waiting 5 minutes for the results, she went back in there and looked. . . . it showed negative. Then a few minutes later, she went back and looked again, and the positive line was just barely visible. Is she pregnant?

I was a Christian, until this July- I lost all my faith then. I started being a Chrsitian, because I was going through a hard time, and I looked on God for help, and things got much better. I loved God. But then, this year, my dad got so mad @ me while he was abusing me (my parents have a really bad anger-management problem), he almost kicked me out of my house. (he didn't tho) And the next month came, with more abuse, and self-hatered, and one night, I thought "why doesn't God help me? WHY DOES GOD LET ME GO THROUGH ALL THIS, WHILE OTHER KIDS DON'T? Does God even love me? Why? Am I not good enough for him? And if I am, and he does lvove me, why does he let me suffer like this?" And since most of my friends are super-good chirstians, the ppl @ my parent's church are mean, I can't tell anyone this, or ask these questions... So if you're a Christian, and you're reading this, please tell me why, and why I should start believeing in God again. Thanks
