    That's sad. This is more of that same sentiment that I think was referred to earlier in this thread. Unfortunately a lot of their blood is in their sand too because of us, and I'm sure many Iraqis feel toward us the same way you feel toward them. However, it is we who invaded their country. The hatred's gonna run deep for a lot of years, I'm afraid. -- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged. A liberal is just a conservative who's been to jail

    Sometimes we have a hard time seeing the forest for the trees.... Maybe the .01% of Muslims that you're talking about is only a portion of the larger problem of terrorism. linz -- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged. A liberal is just a conservative who's been to jail

    To borrow some Suicidal Tendencies lyrics, "Just because YOU don't understand it, don't mean it don't make no sense...." Is that what you're saying??? I think I got your meaning to begin with. I just think it's silly. Kinda like all those people who kept hounding Clinton about his affairs caused him to get that famous blow job....lol. Then you called him dishonest and caused him to lie about it. Heh.... linz -- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged. A liberal is just a conservative who's been to jail

    Education, not legislation, is the greatest tool to fix a problem. Yeah. My thoughts too. In my experience, though, people who are VERY educated about substance abuse can one day find themselves the substance abusers....it sneaks up on folks. However....I think that we've learned that people who use younger are more likely to have problems down the road. Educating kids about substance abuse may be helpful. But the data may just be correlational data, and if those same people start using later, they're still likely to become addicts/alcoholics....who knows. I think REAL education is the key. Not just a bunch of scare tactics. Those aren't really useful, imho. I've just started an evidence-based book about addiction. If it's worth the time it takes to read it, I'll fill ya' in.... linz -- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged. A liberal is just a conservative who's been to jail

    There are definitely some people who use alcohol irresponsibly who cause problems for themselves and others. What do you propose we do with those people then? Or are you saying that we should protect people from themselves??? I prefer to take my chances and learn from my mistakes. linz -- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

    I personally don't have a problem with people drinking responsibly....or even getting drunk as long as they're minding their own business in the comfort of their own homes. Surely the intent of the post wasn't to suggest that nobody should use alcohol??? That's what I'm not getting. Is this another one of those black/white issues.....where we have no beautiful grey??? linz -- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged. A liberal is just a conservative who's been to jail

    Alcohol has no significance whatsoever without a user or misuser. There's not benefit or cost without that factor--the person. Whatever the drug that's being used, if it's a problem, the problem lies with the person...not with the substance. Alcohol has benefits. Are you suggesting that alcohol should not be used at all? Or are you only suggesting that more efforts should be made to curb its abuse? linz -- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged. A liberal is just a conservative who's been to jail

    the situation hasn't changed THAT much. Nothing that all those anarchist leftys didn't tell him was gonna happen to begin with....or did their negative thoughts cause it to happen???? linz -- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged. A liberal is just a conservative who's been to jail

    When I was 8 and wanted to take gymnastics, I approached Ms. Stanley, the gymnastics coach, and she said, "I don't teach little boys." :) Since I grew up, I think people recognize me as a girl. linz -- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

    See Anne....maybe that's so much more "functional" that I've ever been. Whenever I've had an unreasonable boss, then I've LEFT that job. Prob'ly better your way.... But now I've got a pretty good job that I might not have if I just accepted the crap that people along the way threw my way. I just don't like being anyone's doormat.... I've been really pleased since my little boy's been in public schools, for the most part. The part I really take issue with is the way that "individuality" is regulated out to such a big extent. I don't know the answer, but not allowing a kid to sing an Eric Clapton song, in my mind, isn't it. linz -- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

    Yeah....well, then maybe one of those private little talks....woman to woman. :) In through the nose, out through the mouth. It's frustrating sometimes, isn't it. -- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged. A liberal is just a conservative who's been to jail

    National Potato Chip Day makes me think we're all supposed to jump out of the airplane and get stiff as a board.

    I've picked up hitchikers on a couple of occasions. Never hitchhiked, but years ago while a friend and I travelled out to Vegas for a Dead show, we got stranded in Seligman, AZ....oh my! Several folks picked us up and shared their ganja....(as if we were out of weed just because we were stranded ). They always dropped us off right where they picked us up, so I guess it wasn't "hitchhiking." Heh...but that's the closest I ever came. linz -- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

    There was one a few years ago that he never found though.... I think the pilot/plane owner in that case careful not to have the incident known. linz -- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged. A liberal is just a conservative who's been to jail

    Is your child being singled out or are there other kids being treated this way too? I bet you could drum up support from other parents for a meeting with the principal and the teacher.

    I have a couple times. It was not a bad decision either time. Once, in medical school, I sold my gear to buy Jay's Christmas presents when there was just not much cash flow (and the ex sure as heck wasn't gonna chip in). Putting jumping off for a little while isn't the same as quitting. There are other things in my life that are more important than skydiving, and it's always fun to come back. :) linz -- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.
