last december on christmas eve i went to church with my bf to attend mass (im studying abroad) here in italy. the church was packed with people and there were tons standing while attending, i had found an empty seat someone left and sat down, in the middle of the mass i noticed and old lady moving around, i got up and offered my seat, she said thanks and sat down. mass went on and near the end where you had to get in line to go up front came up, in italy no one goes in order, everyone heads in all at once, in the states as you all know, they go rows by rows organized. so we went all at once to get in line, we slowly got in line like everyone did and all of a sudden we heard a mumble, it was some old lady, she was saying all grumpy, 'oh look at these!! they cut in line bla bla!!' i looked at her and it was the same lady i gave my seat to...she didnt look at me nor recongnize me, but it left me in shock...

why are people, elders especially, like this? even on christmas eve..

I'm not being silly, so think about it. With all the scientific testing, chemicals, blah, blah, blah, maybe there's a possibility someday of the dead being reanimated with very primal instincts. If so, what would you do?

I grew up very poor (not even running water) and I did well in school and didn't get into any trouble. People seem to think that if a person grows up poor that is an excuse for them to be criminals. All people are subject to the same moral laws and there is no free pass to poor people. There is no excuse to get into drugs or crime just because you are poor. There are alot of poor nations in the world where there isn't as much crime as in the U.S. These welfare families get everything handed to them for free (I have seen them buy all kinds of goodies at the grccery store while I buy generic and just the basic) and they walk out and get into their car while I carry heavy bags to the busstop. THese are the same people that are selling drugs in the parking lot and robbing people. I am still very poor myself but I don't resort to criminal activity as a solution. I don't blame my upbringing or the goverment.

Don't folks realize this life is what they make of it and that they only have themselves to blame.

Doesn't it seem odd to trust teens with a 1/2 ton weapon however tell them they are too irresponsible to drink and smoke? Maybe the Europeans have the correct ideas in this department...

What most attracts you to a woman? Also would you be with a woman that was overweight but was absolutely beautiful on the inside or would you choose the woman with the perfect body but was an absolute witch? Just tell all of us women in general your version of the truth about men and women. Let's just settle it all and get it straight from the horses ,err.. men's mouth....

First, know that I don't hate gay people. What they do is their business, and it should stay behind doors. I don't proclaim what my wife and I do in our bedroom, and I don't care about what they do, either.
What I do care about is whats on TV nowadays, and our schools. It's fine to say don't hate ANY people, but not to teach my child that it's okay, or encourage it.
Apperently, in one elementary school, a book was read called king and king, about two princes falling in love. What?!!?
Why are we encouraging a mental illness in our society??

I gave birth to my fisrt daughter in March of 05. SInce then I have hated music video, all of them. The women in them are just about naked except for little pieces of material that barly cover there nipples and viginas. The butt is no longer left to the imagination all. With the way they have sex, I mean dance, you should be requierd to wear a condum to watch them. I hate for my daughter to watch videos because I don't want her to think that acting and dressing like that is okay.
