Apparently Uzbekistan has had it with the US human rights record under the Bush regime, they've canned the airbase -- too embarrassing to be hosting a rogue state.
I think that if the dems ever get back 2 branches of govt., that they will let repubs filibuster their court nominees, cut back voting in the house to 15 min. And investigate the president everytime the repubs/media says boo. I like Reid and Dean. I think they are fighters. But dems like Joementum, and Biden ruin it for everybody else. After what Joementum did with lecturing Clinton publicly, why is he so silent about Rovegate, Gannongate, Enrongate, Medicare billgate, Delaygate, etc.?
For example, if the dems ever got back the WH, the first thing that they should do is tell the media that they are going to have the exact same amount of press conferences that Bush had. And they will use anoymous sources as Bush did. And that they will deny access to anybody who prints negative stories about the WH as Bush did. If a reporter complains about it, ask why they have a double standard, and then promply cut off his/her acess.
Has anybody said "DA BLAB SMZ!" yet?
I thought not.

We're like lemmings we are. Hey the war on terror is now called the global struggle against extremism. that's just great, change what it's called and it becomes something else, remind anyone of a certain george orwell book? the ministry of truth produces lies, and the ministry of peace produces war. wonderful times we live in, wonderful peaceful benevolent times....
America agrees more with the dem philosophy than the repub philosophy. Yet dems cannot get elect proportianaly. The repubs have these hot button issues that always gets their people out. This race is a test. How can dems push certain wedge issues to depress the repub turnout, while boosting the dem turnout?

i believe the national coverage is also important. when the local cheerleaders see their own personal bozo "expouse" bullshit, it has the same effect as a pep rally. but maybe when they see someone else they might actually hear some of the words and react with a more reasonable "WTF?"
plus independents who are on the fence or don't bother get a better view of what is happening in a national perspective.

NLRB Green Lights Ban on Off-Duty Fraternizing Among Co-Workers
Workers Rights Watch Eye on the NLRBIt is a regular pastime for co-workers to chat during a coffee break, at a union hall, or over a beer about workplace issues, good grilling recipes, and celebrity gossip. Yet a recent ruling by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) allows employers to ban off-duty fraternizing among co-workers, severely weakening the rights of free association and speech, and violating basic standards of privacy for America's workers.

Private Prison Industry Rebound From Uncertain Times
NEW YORK (AP) -- Though state governments are no longer fueling a private prison boom, the industry's major companies are upbeat -- thanks in large measure to a surge of business from federal agencies seeking to house fast-rising numbers of criminals and detained aliens.
Since 2000, the number of federal inmates in private facilities -- prisons and halfway houses -- has increased by two-thirds to more than 24,000. Thousands more detainees not convicted of crimes are confined in for-profit facilities, which now hold roughly 14 percent of all federal prisoners, compared to less than 6 percent of state inmates.

Lincoln Chafee said he would vote against Bolton — if given the chance — and would oppose a recess appointment if it is accurate that Bolton’s form was originally incorrect. “Any intimidation of the facts, or suppression of information getting to the public which led us to the war, absolutely should preclude him from a recess appointment,” said Chafee, of Rhode Island."

are we in a cave? seems to be an annoying echo....
I was in Cincinatti just a little over a week ago Friday, visiting Kings Island with the kids. For the brief 30-45 minutes it took to drive out of range of the Cincy radio stations there were comments regarding the race. They were brief because the race had not become a hot topic yet, but they all stated that they liked the fact Hackett was a veteran of the Iraq police action(emphasis mine).
Yet in the end they all expressed hopes that Hackett would move or legislate from the center when it came to taxes and such.
I think that if these guys were fair in their comments then this race could come down to the undeclared. Those whose opinions are not being exposed to the public. This looks a lot like the way the presidential election was being exit polled. A lot of conservatives simply weren't participating in the polls and as such were creating a large skew in the results which made the race seem too lopsided in favor of Kerry.
I figure a lot of these people do not trust those running the exit polls. They probably associate them with the liberal media they hear about and as such do not voice their opinions in polls.
If this trend continues today, or next week for that matter come Tuesday then the results could be unpredictable.

Great idea on the press, but I would like to think that the dems are above that sort of thing. But a good threat, and even a month or so of that kind of treatment of the press might just get the point across.
If I had the resources Air America would never need to go begging for cash again and MSNBC would be the media arm of the DNC. This is why the dems always lose with the issues on their side. When races are really close Fox and the Sinlair Borg make the difference between victory and defeat. Why dont the dems get the lesson, and then make a strong run at MSNBC now that it is weak. Forget about making money off the network. They should make it its mouthpiece. Then they will start winning elections again.

How the hell can an employer have the right to tell employees with whom they can associate with when they are not working?
I can see that you might not want cops hanging out with drug dealers but apart from situations like that I can see no reason except that if you keep the employees apart they are certainly never going to be able to do anything horrible such as form a union.
"Also Friday, 35 Democratic senators and one independent, Sen. Jim Jeffords of Vermont, sent a letter to Bush urging against a recess appointment. “Sending someone to the United Nations who has not been confirmed by the United States Senate and now who has admitted to not being truthful on a document so important that it requires a sworn affidavit is going to set our efforts back in many ways,” the letter said."

Newttons,
The dems cannot affor top be high and mighty anymore. The refs have either left the playing field, or are giving all the calls to repubs. The dems need to be mean motherfks with the press/repubs. This is why someone like Wes Clark is an attractive candidate. Can you imagine what he would do if they swift boated him. Not only would he defend himself, but he would use his military contacts to swift boat the swift boaters.

Two Britons among dead in Iraq as constitution deadline looms
BAGHDAD (AFP) - Two British security guards and at least 22 Iraqis were killed in attacks across the country as MPs worked against the clock to try to reach agreement on a draft constitution by Monday.
In Amman, Saddam Hussein's defence team charged that the ousted dictator had been attacked by an unidentified man during a court hearing on Thursday discussing charges over the brutal 1991 suppression of a Shiite uprising.
The two British security contractors were killed Saturday when their consular convoy was targeted by a roadside bomb near the southern city of Basra, the Foreign Office said in London.

The way to target MSNBC for a liberal take over is to WATCH liberal programming, wherever it may be on. Look at Fox's example. Fox has a network (not the news) that programs to the lowest common denominator, why? Because people watch. Why have Temptation Island on? To get people to watch. Same with FX. The programming on these networks is often the kind of programming that people that watch Fox News bloviate over. The reason that Fox News does what it does is so people watch. If it was more profitable to have liberal views expressed, how long would it take for Fox to dump Brit, Bill, et. al.? So maybe, vote with the remote.
cherries are delicious also.

You said:
"I just hope that when we win again, that we can act more grown up than the R's have been these last 11 years."
Fuck that shit. Dems need to force repubs to meet in the basement and cut off their mikes. This is how the dems got in the situation that they are in. By playing nice and fair. When the Terminator looses next year, the first thing the dem govornor needs to do is redistrict all the repubs out of office. That alone might switch the house. When the dems get back congress, the first thing they need to do is cut off fund for PBS until Moyers is on, and WSJ is off. When was the last time the dems won by playing nice. The repubs rewrote all the rules-they are going to have to deal with it.
actually the rebranding of the GWOT as a Global War on Violent Extremism is quite worrying.
How easy it is to brand someone as a 'violent extremist' as opposed to 'terrorist.'
Bizarre too that many 'violent extremists' will now be hunting 'violent extremists.'
"You are before the court because you were extreme and violent in your denunciations of your 'elected' officials.'
Has anyone thought of taking Orwell's 1984 and adapting it to the screen using the last five years as the reference point?
Funny you should mention that, because there's another lesser known 'nightmare utopia' novel - Player Piano, by Kurt Vonnegut - which I think in many ways speaks even more directly to the crisis America is now facing than does Orwell's work.
Admittedly, Player Piano does not deal so much with the subjects of political repression and ideological conformity as it does class divisions, the dignity of labor, and how the relentless emphasis on industrial automation and maximum efficiency ultimately deprives a large segment of society of the opportunity to lead meaningful and satisfying lives.
But those political and ideological elements are certainly there as well. IMO, this is a novel that almost begs to be brought up to date (it was, after all, written in 1952, only a few years after Orwell's novel) and adopted to the medium of cinema. In the right hands I really think it could become a very illuminating and important film.
..

Turkey meatloaf is pretty good, too. Make is like regular meatloaf. My Whole Foods makes a turkey meatloaf that I just love. They add onions, carrots and a bit of spinach.
It's great.
Fuck that shit. Dems need to force repubs to meet in the basement and cut off their mikes. This is how the dems got in the situation that they are in. By playing nice and fair. When the Terminator looses next year, the first thing the dem govornor needs to do is redistrict all the repubs out of office. That alone might switch the house
Now that's what I'm talking about.

Did we get a chance to talk about this?
Methuen was winning 3-1 when assistant coach Domingo Infante instructed the pitcher in Spanish to try to pick off a runner at second base. After the unsuccessful attempt, the umpire called time-out and spoke with a Little League official who was at the game. The unidentified umpire then decreed that only English could be spoken.
"All I could hear was, 'We cannot allow this,"' Mosher said. "At this point I was baffled why we could only speak English."
Mosher said he challenged the ruling, but the Little League official said it would stand. Infante then left the game in protest, which Mosher said demoralized his pitcher and catcher, who speak little English. Methuen lost the game 10-6, though the team remains alive in the tournament.

actually the rebranding of the GWOT as a Global War on Violent Extremism is quite worrying.
How easy it is to brand someone as a 'violent extremist' as opposed to 'terrorist.'
I think that was the very point of the re-branding.
well off to investigate the Global Struggle against GRE's. you don't have to take this test for soc. work in Md. and i think the only reason you have to take it in Fl. is because they are so chagrined over their abominable national rank in the secondary school system. hell, you have to take the GRE even to get into art school in this state.

Execution Looms for Mother of Three
ABHA/RIYADH, 30 July 2005 — A 26-year-old mother of three convicted of murdering a man six years ago moved closer to the executioner’s block after the slain man’s family refused all public pleas to forgive her and demanded that the state execute her.
Several tribal leaders of the Asir region as well as members from the Shoura Council arrived in the city of Khamis Mushayt on Thursday to visit the victim’s family members to try to persuade them for forgiveness. The mayor of Khamis Mushayt as well as tribal leaders from Qahtan and Shahran engaged in a five-hour discussion with the survivors, as citizens across Asir were waiting in anticipation that their pleas would find mercy in the hearts of the victim’s family to forgive the woman.
If western leaders want to stop the source of 'terraism' their target should be Saudi Arabia. Its all very well chucking foregin students out of the Pakistani madrases but it is the Saudis who fund them.
Since this is the land of realpoliks Saudi remains untouched due to her oil so nothing will change.

Funny you should mention that, because there's another lesser known 'nightmare utopia' novel - Player Piano, by Kurt Vonnegut - which I think in many ways speaks even more directly to the crisis America is now facing than does Orwell's work.
Yes, Player Piano - if I remember it correctly - Was that the book about the reeks and the wrecks?
Diane - that's incredible and it makes me very happy that the internet raised that kind of money for Hackett.

my gf had me over for turkey burgers on friday night. i had one. it was tasty. i had salad. then we watched a film. the remake of that ethan hawke and julie delpy film.....before sunset or something.
the remake was terrible. thin gruel indeed.
Who wants to bet against Biden being on one of the talk shows?
plus salad.
I'm half-Brit and I don't make fun of English food (well, except for spotted dick).
But the one thing you Brits can't do is salad.
Really, is it so difficult? Some greens and maybe a stinky French cheese. A little oil and vinegar.
How hard is that?
.
And doesn't the re-casting of the "war" as a "struggle" mean that A) the Repugs DON'T actually think this is a war, and B) Little Boots can't call himself a "war preznit" anymore?
Of course now when some wingnut blathers at you about how we're "at war" you can come back with "no, it's just a struggle now"...
I am accomplishing no housework whatsoever. Who's going to tell me to get busy?
On how Dems, and everyone else, should treat the press for the indefinite future, cue up some TVs of Ari and Scotty giving their all-purpose non-answers.
To every question respond "Let's se what Scotty has to say," then show him saying something like "I'm sure we've covered that isuue clearly already." Have some high-school kid from the AV squad running the machines
So if Air America did "steal" a bunch of money from some charity for inner-city youth (although given the source, we can assume it's bullshit), shouldn't that pretty much guarantee their popularity with the wingnuts?
A corporation filling its own coffers with charity money for the poor? That's Tom DeLay's wet dream and Dick Cheney's sticky reality.
Diane - that's incredible and it makes me very happy that the internet raised that kind of money for Hackett.

You are right about us going up against Fox News in a close election.

There is a finite possibility that any person/place/idea/thing etc. that you can think of will be mentioned here. Where else do think you would find a single thread that contained discussions of both the GREs and turkey burgers?
How easy it is to brand someone as a 'violent extremist' as opposed to 'terrorist.'
yeah, that was my point. i for one will not go peacefully, though i realize torture may be involved.
never let 'em know your worst fear. winston's was rats, that was a pretty spooky ending. i guess mine would be... i've already said too much. really later. oh fuck, did i use two t's the last comment. i'll never pass a GRE.

Iraq fires top Sunni official
BAGHDAD - A leading Sunni official in Iraq says he has been sacked by the government over his outspoken complaints against the killings and arrests of members of his community by the police.
Adnan Dulaimi, head of the Waqf, or religious endowment authority in Iraq, said he had received a letter from Iraq's Shiite Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari on Tuesday announcing his replacement in the post.
"I have been chased out of my job because I defend the Sunnis," Dulaimi said.
i said remake. I meant sequel. julie delpy was marginally better than ethan hawke. he had the self-pleased personality of a hollywood actor. which of course means he can't act!!!
"exspousing"? for that alone she should be run out of town.

I like tofu, but I also grew up in Wisconsin and had red meat for all three meals, with potatoes. Lots and lots of potatoes.
How easy it is to brand someone as a 'violent extremist' as opposed to 'terrorist.'
Don't worry. Eventually a new brand will get rolled out and "violent extremist" will be redefined as "anyone the American Right doesn't like".
It's the same kind of logic that put Soviet dissidents into mental hospitals: "crazy" was redefined as "anti-Soviet".
Sure the dems need to play hardball with the r's. They deserve it. But if and when the d's win, it will serve the d's better to do positive things, not just give payback. Even if I would love to see it. But the best taunt that I ever gave, or recieved on the playground was "scoreboard". That will always shut people up.
In another vein, I have wondered at what point would normal republican voters abandon W? What level of screw up, with what degree of proof would it take for even some of the true believers to say, "I can't support the guy anymore."
Any thoughts?

If you watched SG1 last night, you saw them unveil their new plot line. It is a race of aliens that are really satanic worshippers espousing their brand of religion onto the masses. It really reeks of the jihad that is being brewed in todays socioety. I believe the writers wre making a very bold statement on the religious extremists in this country.
I also don't seem them getting away with the premise,without the RR getting their pantie into a very tight wad.

On tofu, has anyone seen the Chinese movie The Wooden Man's Bride? It's not a comedy but the family business is soy beans, and the matriarch mistreats the employees. As a result disgruntled workers embezzle tofu, which amused me greatly.
Doctors give Bush high marks on his physical, notwithstanding his mental health.
I was a vegetarian once and in a relationship with, I thought, another vegetarian.
we attended thanksgiving dinner and I brought a soybean casserole to contribute.
imagine my horror to see 'N' digging into the turkey like she was preparing for a month's forced starvation.
which maybe in a way she was.
it didn't last long anyway.
the relationship.
but I recall we mortified our hosts by going to the bathroom at the same time for a spontaneous act of passion.
a dim memory.
um: this anecdote started off somehow 'relating' to turkey.
Hi y'all. Posted this downstairs,

My idiot son has two whiney posts

murderous thugs blah blah blah.
Now, Toby is the fruit of my loins
alas, but I have to admit that on
occasion I have indeed considered
shooting him. Inevitably, however,
I reject the idea for being too
noisy.
Hanging, however, would be too good
for him, so if he makes it to
Eschacon, feel free.
Oh, and finally, somebody asked me
whether the goat I found Toby
fucking in the basement was a boy
or a girl.
The goat's lawyers are getting back
to me on that. I'll let you know.

Until the dems have a media outlet, they will continue to lose all the close races.

There is no "passing" grade on the GRE. When a school looks at the results they are looking at them along with everything else they know about you. Looking great in one area compensates for being not so great somewhere else.
... and i think the only reason you have to take it in Fl. is because they are so chagrined over their abominable national rank in the secondary school system. hell, you have to take the GRE even to get into art school in this state.
Just because they make you take it does not mean that they pay much or any attention to the results.
I live in a town called Devizes no where near Birmingham so we were quite safe
that's good to hear. "near" is relative, though; i think of Birmingham, Al as near, it's about a 4 hour drive.
Yes, Player Piano - if I remember it correctly - Was that the book about the reeks and the wrecks?
That's correct - that was actually a derisive nickname given to a government make-work program for society's castoffs. The actual name was something like the Recovery and Reclamation Corps.

talking bout Turkey's last yr my mother decided to not cook one for christmas day but instead get a nice bit of beef (she did cook a small turkey however).
Turkey sometimes taste dry and i'm not a huge fan of it so having beef was quite nice and works out better cost wise according to my father.

Dems would not be giving payback, just enforcing the repub rules. Who said that you could redistict in the midterm-Republicans. Who said that the minority had to meet in the basement and get their mikes cut off-Republicans. Whos said that you could recall a govornor, who did nothing wrong-Republicans. Who said that you can take away the filibuster-the Republicans. Who said that PBS should be partisan-the republicans. Who said that K-street should not hire dems-the republicans.

Car bomber hits Iraqi police patrol
At least five people have been killed in Baghdad by a car bomber who tried to ram a police patrol near the national theatre.
The dead included a police officer, while five police were among the 25 wounded, the Interior Ministry reported.
Police reinforcements had been called in to secure the theatre, which was being used to hold a public meeting discussing Iraq's draft constitution. Several legislators were at the event.
The attack happened just after 3pm (1110 GMT) on Saturday as the crowd was leaving the theatre, according to a police officer on the scene.

Apparently, unbeknownst to us, the relationship she has with her 35-year-old bf is more serious than we realized. He is pushing her to move out and get married. She, of course, has revealed none of this to us.
He has been very verbally abusive towards her--last night, he was fiercely furious with her for spending time with her friend. Even my daughter admits he's very controlling.
She's not even 20 yet.
Her friend says she took her current job in order to pay for her moving out.
Recently, she got a huge tattoo of the guy's name on her back.

In stifling summer heat, Dr Muthanna al-Assal patiently waits his turn in a jostling queue. Like many doctors in Baghdad, he is making preparations to leave the country.

And which English are we going to enshrine as the "official" English?

Stem-cell debate
Arlen Spector/BrownBack
This week with George Steph
We'll talk with three astronauts currently on board the space shuttle Discovery. Then, former astronauts John Glenn and Buzz Aldrin will discuss in an exclusive interview whether NASA put its astronauts' lives at risk by sending an unsafe shuttle into orbit -- and whether manned space flight still has a future.
In another exclusive, we will talk with Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., about Sen. Bill Frist's, R-Tenn., surprise announcement that he now supports increased federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.
Plus, Lee Iacocca, former chief executive of Chrysler, talks about his love for his late wife and his devotion to research into diabetes -- the disease that helped claim her life.

OMG
Wish I had something helpful to say.
What do his parents think about this? IIRC you said he was living with them.
"Help."
--Sallyh
Damn Sallyh. I don't know. What I wouldn't tell her is she shouldn't see him anymore. If she is anything like my kids (or most kids) she'll resent it and want to see him more. I think I might tell her she has only known him for a short period of time and she needs to give it more time (and you like her living at home right now, etc.). "If it's real," he'll wait. The longer she sees him, hopefully, she'll discover he's not such hot stuff.
Tena -
I'm sorry, I'm not attacking you.
*No* vegetarian eats fish or poultry.
If someone eats fish or poultry they're not vegetarian. Again, why is the word "vegetarian" so hard to understand?

my father has a friend at work who owns a farm and he gives us say half a cow or half a lamb.

sallyh - sounds like things are getting very serious if she's talking about marrying this guy.
Is it time for professional intervention?
"I don't get vegetarians who say they won't eat meat but will wear leather shoes or carry leather bags."
You are right we hypocrits, but Prada does not make non-leather shoes. Also, the fake leather does not last at all and looks tacky. But in our defense, you can wait until a cow dies to get the leather. That is what they do in India.
I bet you say that to all the moonbats.

And which English are we going to enshrine as the "official" English?

Oh this is just so much more bullshit. You know dam well what english I mean.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to say again that I think she's being a bit hasty, and if she thinks this is The One, he'll still be The One when her education is completed.
"I don't get vegetarians who say they won't eat meat but will wear leather shoes or carry leather bags."
depends on the reason they are veggies. some are strictly for health reasons.
and "veggies" who eat fish and fowl just want a catchword rather than having to say "i don't eat mammals".
to each his own, i say (having been an omnivore in a veg family for 28 years). no one ever died from second-hand vegetarianism.
sally h,
the only thought I have is that at least you're in the loop.
but that name tattooed on the back is a sign of emotional committment/infatuation/obsession isn't it?
at least in a 20 year old .
what sort of 35 year old guy pushes for marriage to a young woman? a guy who is insecure and wants a chain fence around her?
any signs of violence? emotional abuse?
if not you just might have to accept her choice.

Uzbeks Order U.S. From Base in Refugee Rift
WASHINGTON, July 30 - Uzbekistan formally ordered the United States to leave an air base that has been a hub for operations in Afghanistan in protest over a predawn United Nations operation on Friday to spirit out refugees who had fled an uprising in Uzbekistan in May, senior State Department officials said Saturday.
The officials said Uzbekistan had given the United States 180 days to close the base, which has played a central role in rooting out fighters of the Taliban and Al Qaeda and in carrying out relief operations.
I am a resolute vegetarian.
Cows, pigs, lambs, and chickens are all fruit, right?
dirk gently ~ indeed live and let live is my philosophy.
sallyh,
good idea, as was GWPDA's suggestion of moving that education further away. time and distance will be on your side.
whatever happens, tho, don't let it tear the two of you apart. if worst comes to worst, she will need someone to run back to.
I don't have any kids, and so this is probably bad advice, and most likely not what you want to hear, but IMO, there's nothing you can do. And maybe there's nothing you should do. My wife knows someone whose spouse is a drunk and daughter is a drug addict. This person has tried to help the daughter every way they can, and she just continues her downward spiral. They bought the daughter a car so she could get to work, and the car got "stolen" (read: given to a dealer she owed money to). Most recently, she turned up in jail for trying to snatch an old lady's purse. My wife's friend just spent $40K to send the spouse to a six-week drying-out camp. When the spouse returned, the first stop the spouse made coming home from the airport was the liquor store to buy a half gallon of vodka.
If people are determined to fuck up their life, they will. You've done all you can. My advice is you sit here down, lay it all out very dispassionately and non-judgmentally, let her know she'll always be your daughter, but if she fucks up, she's the one who will suffer, and she is fucking up.
Oh, and the first time you see him do anything approaching an actionable offense, get the cops on him, and let her know that's what you're going to do, and you'll press charges if she won't. Put his parole officer on speed dial. This prick sounds too fucking stupid to not end up in jail again.
Then I remembered the short, hairy guy I live with and his mandarin nails....
And realized - as elegant as he would look perched upon the cherry red leather - if he really wanted the damn chair, he could buy it himslef?
-pets-, simels, people raise turkeys and all sorts of absurd things as -pets-. G-d forbid we should know that what we put on our dinner plates started out as something other than pre-cut and plastic wrapped.
I have a dear friend who insists that when he used to go out to the ranch and choose out the beef to be butchered, he would name it; Breakfast or Lunch or Dinner.

Which English?
I remember on Kevin Drum's site a few months ago a map of the US that was color coded. It turned out that the various colors corresponded to the word that the region used generically for soft drinks. Pop, soda, coke, pepsi, etc... So which one do we use in english?
Go to another region, and just listen. There are so many dilects it makes the head spin. So which English?

If vegetarians were like Dobsonites:
1) ban meat from schools
2) PETA would be an govt institutions.
3) give misleading info on meat
4) act like mad-cow is more prevelant than it acutually is.
5) Use taxpayers money to send PETA literature to Americans
6) Pay commentators to talk about how bad meat is
7) Put a vegetarian in the WH pressroom to constatly ask, why meateaters are so unreasonable.
Next we're gonna hear how evil the Uzbekistan government is.

So which English?
Which English is being spoken (typed) here?
I tire of this argument, as I have no words to describe myself. Fuck it.
Sallyh - this is going to sound crazy and utterly opposite of what seems rational.
Whenever they fight and she comes to you for support, or when she voices any complaints against him, take his side. You don't have to sound believable, and don't bother to explain yourself. Just force yourself to do it, and see how that works.
Being rational won't help at all.
Whatever you do, I wish you the best.
Well, spork, I agree that the word doesn't convey that meaning, but I've seen ovo-vegetarians described, and the others, too. Usually they are qualified - like ovo- is a qualifier.
But I certainly am not trying to take issue with you, either. I'm not a vegetarian, and you are entitled to insist on the traditional meaning of that term. I really have no horse in that race.

His opinion after a number of years was that of all the things that people use for meat, a turkey was the only one that actually deserved it.
haha.
went for a bike ride today and saw what I thought was a heron. then I saw four of them together and thought 'holy shit.' then saw a big bunch of geese overtake them and intergrate them into the flight pattern. then I wondered when geese started looking like heron like prehistoric birds.

Well, except for everything that's a trucka. And yes, folks, New Mexico and Louisiana are the only two states in the nation where there are two official languages, equal and legal. File a legal notice in Spanish in Albuquerque and you're faded. (I have an idea that Arizona was covered as well, but we've altered a lot from the originating documents.)
smallfish, consider this -- learning a second language generally improves comprehension of one's native language. In my case, learning French was the key to my grokking English grammar.

I live in Texas, where there is a very large contigent of Mexican Americans. I work with a great many, and the language divide makes it very difficult to communicate, much less get thigs done in an orderly, and satisfactory mannor. Many people I know have given up and learned some sort of spanish dialect to communicate.Still it is very unsatisfactory and things get fucked up because of the communication deficiencies. When we don't reqire that English be spoken (let alone be taught) at all functions, things get left unsaid or undone or miscommunicated.
The little league feild should be one place where language should be an even playing feild. Unless it is some kind of international event. Plain and simple. Except when it gets taken up by those that want to think too much about it.

I had too many troubles getting into the coaster cars. I'm too tall, my shoulders too broad, and my chest to full to allow those wrap over protective bars to fit. On the free fall drop ride I couldn't get it to fit down around me without risking suffocation. The problem was with the security belts that latch the overwrapping bars. They were not consistent and far too short.
What's funny is that I went on the junior childrens danglefeet roller coaster with my son and the darned thing fit fine. But the adult rides were all too tight.
As for Son of Beast, my legs were cramped into the car as the protective bar was too low and too narrow. A whole slew of guys only slightly larger than myself tried to get in and ended up having to get out and not ride. Pissed them off badly cause they had waited in line almost an hour.
Other than that I thought the best ride was the Tomb Raider ride. It was very unique for an indoor ride.

imitating horshack: Ooh, ooh, Mr Cotter! Mr Cotter!
I have an opinion on the language thing. My mom's parents were italian immigrants. they never spoke italian to their daughters, wanted them to grow up to be "Americans". I don't speak italian now as a result. Wish I did.
Like everything else, I think it is the difference between what is allowed and what is required. I don't think that all classes need to be taught in every native language represented by the school's population. Cetainly English is the main language in the country, and anyone will be more successful if they speak English (don't worry about dialect, that's a red herring). Polyglotism is even better, but English is and should be essential.
That said, it is horrific that people would be persecuted for speaking their native language. And there is nothing wrong with recognizing that some areas have high populations of non-English speaking residents. Chamblee, Ga has many roadsigns in Korean, and in parts of Roswell only Spanish is spoken. It seems only practical to acknowledge that and have schools in those areas provide mutli-lingual courses. It's a lot easier to learn English if translation is provided.
So everyone is right.
Can we talk about cats again now? We tried to convert our dog and cat to a vegetarian diet. The dog loved carrots, and was a pushover. The cat just sniffed and went out for chipmunks.

I agree completely. Spanish should be mandatory.
Well, smalfish, we certainly don't want any kids playing Little League unless they can speak English, now do we?
Never mind that Hispanic kid who is just dying for friends but doesn't understand the language yet. Oh he's working on it, but we have to wait until he's fluent. And be sure and get really pissed when he joins a gang instead.
Absolutment.
I agree completely. Spanish should be mandatory.

I agree that things work better when everyone can understand everyone else, but that was a Little League game. Nothing was going to get screwed up if the coach spoke Spanish to the kid. We don't know how long the kid had been in the country.
If that kid does not learn English he will find that his job prospects will be limited. His not speaking English may be a nuisance to you but will cost him considerably more.
English could easily be considered the dominant language in the world. There may be languages which more people speak as their primary language but us English speakers are probably the only people who could go anywhere in the world and be able to find people who speak our language. English is the language of international air traffic control. When some disaster elsewhere in the world appears on TV notice how often the word 'ambulance' appears on the vehicles transporting the injured.

If I were King, I'd make everyone learn at least two languages in school. I've found I have a much better understanding of how English is constructed after learning another language.
Ubu - I couldn't agree more. Americans are foreign language phobes - my god, you'd think it was right next to asking someone for his kidney, asking him to learn, or even just tolerate, a language other than American English.
No wonder the Europeans think we're stupid. We are.
I live in southern Mexico and need to speak Spanish to be understood by the vast majority of the folks I interact with on any given day. No one makes me speak Spanish, it just makes sense. I wish I had a better command of the language, but hey, even after almost 10 years I still learn new stuff all the time. It has however reached the point where I cringe when hearing tourists chatting away to locals in English. They don't seem to get it, the people who live here speak Spanish. Let's not even talk about tourists paying for their purchases at the local tienda with $20 bills!?
Funny to think that I studied German in school. But then again, the way things are going State-side, maybe that should be the official language in America!
"Pope Benedict XVI lamented the seemingly "dying" church in Europe and the United States.
He said the West was "a world that is tired of its own culture, a world that has arrived at a time in which there's no need for God, much less Christ, and in which it seems that man alone can make himself."
Er, no, Benny Da Rat - it's because people here in the West are not content with your 12th century thinking. They don't want a return to the Dark Ages, to the Inquisition, when dissent meant persecution.
They are not content with women being held in contempt and gays being hated. Women have rights - we are not walking wombs. Gay people are not subhuman simply because they can't make babies.
They are not content with their children being molested by your employees while you and your underlings scurry to cover it up.
They are not content to simply pray, pay, obey and keep their mouths shut.
People in the West are not content to jump whenever you crack the whip.
This is the 21st Century. Things are different.
Turkey sometimes taste dry...
Not if you brine it. We used this recipe last Christmas, and when we carved the turkey, it gushed with juices, ran out all over the floor, which made the cat very happy.
Thing is, we didn't even bother with gravy. Even the breast was juicy and delicious, and I'm a dark meat lover.
If I were King, I'd make everyone learn at least two languages in school. I've found I have a much better understanding of how English is constructed after learning another language.
Agree 200%! I've gotten to where I can understand a lot of Spanish, but unfortunately (thinking I'd someday live in Europe) took 5 years of French in school, so when I try to speak Spanish, what comes out of my mouth is more Frenglish.
