Bruce Ivins, "the anthrax killer"... RIP.
by Preston inwas anybody creeped out by how quick the justice department was to blame bruce ivins for sending anthrax in the mail.
not to mention the media narrative thats been weaved around his life even though he is no longer alive?
it reminded me of how i left the jw's and "stories" would come up, trying to explain how "brother preston" fell into bad company, was tempted by sin and never came back, etc..... some news stories called him a homicidal maniac, and a "mad scientist".

Homosexuals are human also...
by zeroday inpretty much living my entire adult life in jw land i had such a one sided biased against the world including gays...in my own family there were a number of gay members that i thought i was so above them and better than them because the bible said so...i had a cousin die of aids in the early 80's and felt no remorse at all...since my departure 4 years ago i have redirected my priorities in life to include those of not my way of life...i currently have a gay cousin about my age and see the world in a whole new light...i no longer feel superior to anyone and accept those for who they are...this has been a long and hard road back to simplicity i'm just sorry it took so long...

Is It Me Or Are The Males of Today More Feminine and/or Nerdy Than Ever B4?
by minimus inwhen i turn on the tv, i see so many fem men that i'm realizing that a 'manly" man seems to be a relic of the past.. metrosexuals rule the world now.supersensitive males who are in touch with their feminine side are the norm.. the john waynes & burt reynolds have been replaced with ryan seacrest lookalikes.. ladies, do you find these metrosexuals all that attractive?

Is Lindsey Lohan gay?
by free2beme inrecently there was an uproar about ms lohan's sexuality.. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080802/ap_en_ot/people_lindsay_lohan.
while i am the first to say how disappointed i am in this woman, who played some great disney characters as a child and then turned in to one of those super party whore girls, as an adult.
i actually find the prospect of her being gay, and perhaps settling down a bit ... good.
