Well, the kids that shot up the school got their ammo from Kmart. Michael Moore met w/ two survivors who still have the bullets lodged in their bodies. The 3 of them walked to Kmart headquarters and asked them if they would consider removing ammonition from their stock. Kmart, like any corporation, was nervous about the camera being on, but agreed to meet w/ Michael offline about the matter. They decided to pull all the ammo off the shelves. What a big decision to make - makes me wonder if they actually held up to it or not.

Piercing Your Genitals Can Save Many Lives
by Funchback in.
not only can it end diseases but it is also endorsed by god.... numbers 25:8: "then he went after the man of israel into the vaulted tent and pierced both of them through, the man of israel and the woman through her genital parts.
at that the scourge was halted from upon the sons of israel.

Holy cow.
That article reminds me of the Old Testament. The world has a history of doing sick, twisted and demented things.
My whole concern with this thing is who's to say we're going to be in a better position after getting rid of Sadaam?
Yeah Iraq has had chemical and biological weapons in the past and may still have them, but is that a real threat to the USA?
Would he launch those suckers from over there to attack us?
If not, then he's more of a threat to the local region, so why not let them decide what to do about him?
Are there any connections to him and terrorism?
Any potential threat of Iraq terrorists on US interests?
Would the problems that will arise after another war w/ Iraq be worth the money spent and the detriment to our security and economy?
I'll be the first to admit I don't know what the answer is to this situation. I'm really just trying to weigh all the pros and cons. Evidently Bush & Co. have done this already and are firmly convinced this is the best way, I'm just trying to understand the logic behind it.
BTW, I didn't mean to insult Texas or people from Texas in any way, shape or form. (In fact, Texas has the some of the hottest women in this country!!!) I was merely saying that Texas doesn't represent the general population of the country, but i was thinking in a character-sense kind of way, not political. Just to clear that up....

Yeah, and Satan has more than enough time to prove his point. Thousands and thousands of years of human suffering just so Satan has time to make a point?? Who cares if a thousand years to us is a "only" day to them - we're the ones suffering!!! It's crazy and doesn't hold water for me.

I'm w/ LB - only as a last resort. Would rather them use any and everything else but blood first, and if that doesn't work, then gimme the blood.
I just don't like the idea of having someone else's blood running through my veins. My blood is part of my soul ...ya know?

I saw this movie over the weekend. I think he did a very good job addressing the subject of guns in America. I walked away still not knowing exactly why there are so many more murders in this country than in any other countries. Two main contributing factors stand out in my mind:
- Guns are easily accessible and are an encouraged purchase.
- America has accepted gun-toting and violence by guns as part of their culture. It's glamorized by the media as part of the "American Culture."
It's an eye opener documentarty, that's for sure. I didn't know America has such an outrageous amount more murders than other countries. Also learned how some celebrities are nothing but self-centered pricks.
I have respect for Kmart after seeing that movie, that's for sure. They did a very noble thing.
Anybody else seen it? Michael Moore deserves mad props.

Mom and I are out in service in a wealthy neighborhood. The very first door we knock on a girl my age answers the door. She's obviously hung-over - dried up drool on her face, a t-shirt on and panies. She was a hottie too. Well, mom starts preaching at her and the girl says, "Hey...you guys wanna come in?" Mom looked at me as if to see if it was okay with me or something...??!! hahaha We go inside and her sister or friend ( can't remember) is pulling herself off of the couch - panies and tank top that did not cover her very well at ALL. I'd NEVER been in the company of girls my age in their UNDERWEAR. (I was about 16 at the time). The girls were really cool and smiling at me and my mom was just talking away about the Live Forever brochure, or whatever the title was. I was in PARADISE - it was GREAT. I remember intentionally going back to that house when I got my license to make a "return visit" but they were never home. :-(
A young man in our Hall had Turretts syndrome. I've got a couple of stories:
Sunday morning public talk. A visiting sister and her young daughter arrive late....they are seated towards the middle. This young man appeared to be very normal, and was actually a handsome guy. He's standing in the back of the hall. An elders wife, very attractive sister, walks from the bathroom to her seat. Young man suddenly blurts out, "I wanna F@$! <insert sisters name>". The look on the visitors faces...!!! hahahaha Everyone else was used to his obscenities, but even this one was a little more blatant than usual. It took every bit of concentration I had to surpress my laughter!
Young man and I are at the mall breaking for lunch during service. We go to use the bathroom...as soon as we walk in, young man makes a loud, convulsive noise. A little kid peeing at the urinal JUMPS away and around from the sudden noise and manages to pee in a full circle. I laughed - couldn't help it. He had a very annoyed, frightened look on his face...
One common thing I remember happening periodically was people tripping while going up or coming down the stairs to the stage. Scary at first, but upon realizing they were okay, it was hilarious!
My friend getting his Japanese mother to say the word "ridiculous." She always left the "ri" and the first "u" out of it. We'd laugh and she didn't know why!
I started studying with a kid who had dredlocks and smoked weed. He said he wanted to come to the meeting. I picked him up and was obviously LIT. 10 minutes into the public talk he RAISES HIS HAND. I quickly ask him to put his hand down. He starts talking to me...not whispering, but talking...saying he wants to express something to everyone too. I should not have assumed that strangers understand how sermons work I guess. He was quite annoyed that he couldn't speak out when he wanted to, and then during the Watchtower, when everyone else raised their hands, he raised his as well. I was hoping the conductor wouldn't call on him because I had no idea what he would say, and I knew for sure it would have nothing to do with the cited material. His thoughts were all over the place. The conductor kept looking at me...looking for a sign on if he should call on him or not. I think the look on my face said it all - he didn't call on him. The dude got mad, stood up and left - said he didn't like a church where people had to be "called upon" to speak. I was SO embarrassed!!!!

My girlfriend bought ME flowers yesterday! It was the nicest, most unexpected thing ever.
I've had a rough week - someone stole $950 from me on an online auction, and then yesterday I find out my mom is really sick. Just how sick will be known in a few short days....
So yeah, the flowers brought tears to my eyes. I'm so thankful for having such a wonderful woman in my life.
