Why do I bother to always ask why you smoke? Why do I always get on your nerves? Why? Because I care. You’ve been smoking for decades, and, I don’t want you to die because of it. You know our family has a long history of bronchitis and other lung problems. You say you smoke because it is what gets you through long days, instead of reaching out and beating the occasional asshole you deal with at work. Perhaps it isn’t my place. However, I care. That is why I continually want to ask, find out, ...

Gun Rights: I stand by the second amendment as giving any citizen of the united states (Convicts not included) the right to keep and bear arms. No questions on that. Now, should we have stricter regulation on who buys guns, yes. I believe that there should be some sort of Psychological test before someone buys a weapon. Abortion: I am against abortion. To me, it's murder. Period. Gay/Lesbian Rights: Live and let live. Despite my what my upbringing would say....

Errr, I posted a blog recently and found my blog like this: If the image doesn't show: There is a large black bar where my menu on the right should be and below my artivcles. My menu looks as though it is pasted to an article of mine. I tried to check to see if i happened to absent mindedly (don't ask me why i would) put my blog url as the image linke, instead of the specific image intended. But, I can't access the 'edit' option. Or the delete option. Did I cause it? -Lucas ...

(Edited) 1. You take every opportunity to talk smack about Iraq and the military. You do your pro-war cheerleader routine (or conversely, your anti-war cheerleader routine) with such callousness that even though you mouth support for the troops, you actually don't care what happens to any given Soldier. You laud their sacrifices while showing complete disregard for their lives. 2. You use graphic photos of Soldiers or even dead civilians to illustrate your political points (again, th...

Just give me a chance. I will be honest. I will work to earn the trust back. I just ask that you examine all sides and maybe even question me, before you come to conclusions. I've been tactless with my choice of words. Please.

Warning: Semi-Vent ( Link This is what it means to be in Iraq. Our soldier helping those less fortunate. I personally damn those who would have us leave early and leave these people to anarchy. These people need our help. We, as a world, need to put up or shut up whenit concerns freedom. We sit by idley while other denizins of other countries get maimed, tortured, and humiliated. The UN is no better. The G'damn pacifistic "look the other" way organization has done little to preve...

Ok...now, lets take this in steps. What are Weapons of Mass Destruction? (aka WMD's) Anyone? Here is a definition i found: Weapons that are capable of a high order of destruction and/or of being used in such a manner as to destroy large numbers of people. Weapons of mass destruction can be high explosives or nuclear, biological, chemical, and radiological weapons, but exclude the means of transporting or propelling the weapon where such means is a separable and divisible part of the ...

Blegh... I'm still having hangovers from thanksgiving. Spent the entire day (well, from 9am till around 8:30pm) with my sisters father, who is at the moment, living with her. We played cards. (He doesn't lose with great...dignity (right word?) ) (We beat him 4 games to 1....) We had turkey, cranberry sauce, yams (Ugh!), develed eggs, and a lot of other things. (Sis's dad paid for it all) We also watched the football games... (IRK! for the lions) and the parade. It was ...

The #7 ranked Oregon Ducks (BCS rankings) have to wait. Until December 4th to see if they will get an 'at large' birth in the BCS. The chances are slim with such power house teams as Notre Dame and Ohio State also vying for a spot. With USC having one game left against inner city rival UCLA, it looks like a lock that a USC-Texas Natl. championship will be played. 1. USC (10-0) Next Game: UCLA 12/04 -If the Trojans fumble against the Bruins it could present an opportunity for the D...

How To Clean Your Toilet - The Fun Way 1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl. 2.

The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this. 5. Flush the toilet t...

Just a question that popped into my head. If you look back at Clinton's time, do you feel he was more "religious" (i.e. more adamant/stern about his faith)? Or, do you think Bush is? (You can substitute another president ) --Lucas IMO I feel that Bush is the more "religious" of the two. I think he has the biggest foundation via a faith. Now, I'm not saying Clinton didn't, this is just what i feel. (Added)Under advice from another, i am going to expand.I base my opi...
