Well, been thinking lately... At the moment there is a bit of a problem within my family going on. There's a wedge spliting the various 'factions'/ There is my aunt, uncle and cousins, Thats one group. There's me, my mom, my sister, brother, sis-in-law, and nieces. Thats another. It used to be it was just my aunts family, my mom's family. Now, recently, my brother never came to my sisters birthday in july (well, it wasn't that recent), never called, got her a present. Now my sister is bummed...

Stress makes people do/say things they don’t mean, and at times inhibits their thinking/reasoning process. That’s what was happening to me when I was trying to defend my self. (or as others put it; Whining, mewling, and feet stamping.) I was just so stressed at the time that I reacted, and never thought; then replied. Putting more thought into my replies and what was said in other replies. I wasn’t thinking clearly and said things that were not needed. The profanity just came out; as if It f...

I don't mind LW and others doing it once to get an article on the forums... but what I do find aggrivating is people like Lucas Bailey who bump an article to get it on the forums, then when it generates zero responses he bumps it again a few days later....I've seen him do that a few times. It's as if they can't stand having no responses to an article, they can't handle being ignored so they have to bump and bump and bump. THAT drives me nuts. --Now, the reason i have bumped certain artic...

Insults, considered by some to be a last resort of a desperate blogger. One who has nothing to back his claim up, and needs something to 'stay alive'. Now, I have read interesting articles here at JU and have seen debates riddled with insults: Looney luddite left, redneck, A$$H#!(, F@#$ Y^&!, and many others... These sort of comments deviate the article/debate from its originial intent, and IMO are unneeded. If you can't back your claim up; then concede. Apparently there are those here who do...

As a Dungeons and Dragons Role Player for eight years, and knowing others who have been at it from 20+ years, i've come to enjoy funny and resourceful stories from other "gamers"..., all of those who role play D&D, come share your stories of various escapades... --lucas (a.k.a Elindel)

In the Presence of Mine Enemies © 2003 Harry Turtledove Published by New American Library Copyright 2003 This book isn’t very intense. In my opinion it is delivered blandly. Any action is dulled. I mean; living your life always on watch; always afraid of those around you. That is something that should be very intense. With yourself being born something that is hated throughout the world. It adds new meaning to being paranoid. Turtledove does a good job with laying the backgrou...

No, america did not deserve to be attacked. Those innocent human beings did not deserve to be murdered. Those who flew those planes are not martyrs, they were not heroes. They were murderers; those who died in the attacks are the Heroes, those who helped are the heroes. (police, firefighters, etc...) Check this link: Link: Link

Article: Link (The information is from an AP article, the link is provided above, I wrote this intro, to try to get people to understand the feelings of the many witnessess, and victims of the shooting...) Jonesboro Arkansas, march 24th 1998.....a normal day begins...then suddenly the fire alarm goes off...every one goes outside following the well known, even if some what dubious drill....then as soon as students file out of the school,and group together for role, shots ring out......

Thanks ahead of time to any one who is willing to help. Much Appreciated. --Lucas (E-Mail: lucas...

The Article: Link I would love to hear these arguments again as to why some people are stupid or just don't know history well enough to feel that the Confederate Flag can be looked upon as a sign of racism and bigotry. --I don't think those people are either stupid or ignorant, that is there opinion, I feel similar, I don't see the confederate flag as a symbol of hate, prejudice or any thing at all, it is a symbol....it was originally a symbol of pride, like the US flag. IMO it was ...

Hmmm, seems that in the few days I’ve been gone, there has been a great deal of talk about points...that’s good...After skimming through various articles, I have to say I like (I believe it was) Phoenixboi's suggestion of rotating users articles, get every one seen. It could help with getting more newcomers noticed, and those who blog, but don't get comments....(if they desire comments...) I like feedback on things... Also, I think LW is doing a good thing with trying to get whateve...

You're a weird guy that is hell-bent on being liked and respected... You work so hard at it that you cause yourself to fail utterly and miserably. None of your positions or opinions seem to remain at all consistent (you go from moderate to SuperLiberal? Odd). You try to make yourself sound smarter by stealing college papers off of websites, but are pretty dumb about how you do it. You can't get over the fact that people just might not like you. You couldn't let go of it with dharma or LW,...
