Don't you just go crazy when you get on the telephone and are told you have 6 options, so you listen, choose the one you want, press, and then,viola! You get another three or four options. And you are not talking to a human being!

So, we wonder where our time goes? It's the flipping telephone. What used to take a few minutes takes three times as long. And God forbid if you want to talk to the Head Honcho of the Bank or Company.

I find myself putting off all business calls, and emailing or writing letters. That takes time too! It's been a long week!

Which of these would you have liked to have grown up in and why? The nuclear family pulls in 70 grand a year and the commune family lives off the land.

Ok, what Mike Vick did was pretty bad. Dog fighting isn't cool especially if the animals get hurt and die from their injuries or from being killed by people. But for crying out loud we Americas are so caught up with the wrong sh!t it sickens me. It makes me sick when we STAND UP & FIGHT for a dog & do nothing about domestic violence, child cruelty, homelessness, the lack of attention to children at Dept of Children’s Services, Child Prostitution, New Orleans not being built back, minimum wage at the ridiculous rate, ABORTIONS/people killing babies? HELLO? I say 4Q to all the people protesting and hating on Vick. I see so many comments about how people mad about his endorsements and they WANT THEM PULLED & FOR HIM TO NEVER PLAY AGAIN. WOW, Unforgiving Christian Americans! Only u should be forgiven for wrongs right? Dick Cheney almost killed a man, TRYING TO KILL an ANIMAL! But it was all cool? Nobody protested that! So please, let us support better causes B4 we Hang VicK over a dog!

why do we punish people for attempted suicide? if they're trying to kill themselves and are too dumb to do it before the cops show up we're probably better off without them!

and if you kill a pregnant woman you can get charged with double murder. but the same woman could kill the would-be second victim herself and be free.

what's wrong with our country?

we can do what we want with our bodies. the baby is another human being and has a right to try and make a good life for itself. it's not so much as doing something to your body as it is killing another human without ever giving them a chance to live. just because you might have made some mistakes doesn't mean they will make the same ones. how would you have liked to have been murdered by your parents before you had a chance to hear music, look at the beauty of the earth, fall in love? they're another human being and deserve a chance.

again, what's wrong with this country?

How can they imagine that a parasitic embryo is a human being? It can not live on its own. It is totally dependent on the womb it is in. If it is allowed to live on, it will grow faster than any cancer. It will take all the nutrients it needs from the mother, no questions asked. At an early stage it is indistinguishable from a pig embryo. It is being used by the legal system as second 'person' in the event of the mother being killed. Of course, that is not all bad. Pro-lifers feel no compunction about condemning the woman to 18 years of responsibility in raising that baby to adulthood. It has to be disconcerting to a woman who does not want a pregnancy to have other people butt into her life and attempt to force her to go through with her 'mistake' or misfortune.

I've never been to jail, but I know plenty of people who have. And it didn't seem to rehabilitate or deter most of them from committing more crimes and ending up back in jail.

If I'm not mistaken(and please do tell me if I am) english started in england, and since no native born americans speak the way they do in england, that means even when you think you're speaking propper english, you really aren't, its more like really old school ebonics, seeing as how we invented some of our own words and manuerisms of speaking. Now with that said, why do you speak down on people who speak ebonics like they're ignorant, when, if you had an education, you'd know you done the same thing?

Do you have any simple pleasures, or just random things that make you happy.

I have many. Here are a few I can think of offhand...

fire (in any form)
firefighters (the profession itself)
the smell of fresh cut wood
old blackboards (not green, but black)
anything old or "classic"
old buildings
abandoned buildings/condemned buildings (not sure why but they attract me)
the sound of a rooster in the morning
other animals
the sun
people and real life
driving with a sunroof open
air and the feeling after a good workout

I know some of those may sound weird, but what can I say? I like them. I'm sure there are many more. What about you? What are yours?

What is up with that? They park right there in the fire zone, even if legitimate parking spaces are only 20 yards away. They act like, "hey, I'm only gonna be in for a few minutes", as if everyone else will be there overnight. I don't know about you but I despise the ignorant, lazy, inconsiderate bastards. Oh, and you better believe that if someone or something hits their illegally parked vehicle, they will scream bloody murder. I just hate it!!!!!!! Your thoughts?

I'm being kinda serious, actually. Sometimes people just stare at me, especially when I talk. Sometimes almost the entire room shuts up when I talk.
