i still can't fathom the idea of letting things sit in your eyes, and the whole poking and prodding thing. gives me the heeby-jeebies.

Someone breaking into my house isn't nearly as creepy to me as someone looking in the windows that's the same with me.

i thank God too. the whole thing with the signs and such is really really weird. and the duct tape- You are soooo so lucky. no. not lucky. blessed. and protected. and loved. God is very good, eh?

Reply to He Touched Me in Misc JoeUser Forums

i too am a touchy-type of person. i think it's how i communicate to others that i care about them. some people i feel uncomfortable doing that with, because i know they may not be the same way. but it's my love language.

Reply to What about Bush? in Politics JoeUser Forums

Some issues, like abortion and other things he supposedly feels "strongly" about, he's done absolutely nothing. true. but what i meant about "i think so far he's proven himself to be just that", was when he makes his mind up about what he is going to do, he does go through with it. bu

Instead, we'll be thinking of what might have been done if it weren't for needing to keep people happy whould would have hated us either way. but isn't that always the case? no matter what Bush does he's never going to make everyone happy. no matter what ANY president does, everybody won't be happy.

Reply to What about Bush? in Politics JoeUser Forums

Bush admitted he was wrong very seldom. that's what i thought. but maybe he really has been wrong very seldom. i just don't understand how the war was beneficial to our country at all. or how it really was our business to go in.

Those of us who are able to think for ourselves don't think so. are you saying that people who don't think like you don't think for themselves? just curious. i guess one of the reasons for me not liking him was the fact that he makes up his mind about something, and won't change even when h

Reply to What about Bush? in Politics JoeUser Forums

The issue I have with Bush is that his choice to attack Iraq had NOTHING to do with protecting the United States the war is one of the main issues that has confused me the most. i always believed that the war was somehow attatched to 9/11, because when he mentioned one, it seemed he'd mention the other in th

Where are the parents? Do they not care? i have a couple gay friends. there parents are well-aware. and in complete support. but then i hear other stories from other homosexual teens, or teens that "aren't sure", and their parents simply don't know. i'm sure if they did know what went on, even with thei

What about Bush? in Politics JoeUser Forums

so just out of curiousity, i would like to see what different people think about President Bush. What about him makes him a good President? or perhaps, what about him makes him a bad President? I'm getting lost in all the drama of idiot high school students who don't know what they're talking about, and would like to hear various educated opinions. Not mea

The thing is, he changed, and I never would have thought that possible. i just hope that my dad will to. it's not as bad for me because i don't live with him. but his absence did alot also. i pray my father will change. i know nothing is impossible with God, but it still feels so incredibly out

But I have never and will never use children in any fights. Yea, maybe I am a coward. I chose to think I am just a loving father. That is something you will never understand. sounds like the characteristics of a loving father to me. i hate it when people use their kids to get to the other par

The One Thing Trustworthy in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I realized today just how much other people's past choices can affect another person's present life. Most of my time spent growing up has been without a father figure. The father I have, is anything but that. He is a self-centered man, with the maturity of a seventeen year old, due to spending all the time since then drinking his life away, and getting hig

it is very difficult to do. i try my best to see people with the good in the bad. but sometimes i have trouble finding the good parts in some people (that i referred to in the article). i think this is why we need God. because we're all screwed up in our own special ways.

Exposing Hypocrisy in Blogging JoeUser Forums

"Hypocrisy is the act of pretending to have morals or virtues that one does not truly possess or practice. The word derives from the late Latin hypocrisis and Greek hupokrisis both meaning play-acting or pretence." -Wikipedia. It seems like everywhere I turn, all I see is hypocrisy. i see hypocrisy when people try to defend themselves, and they know they

Girls (In general) tend to 'want to be loved' more. That does not mean guys dont 'want to be loved,' but the trend is that girls want it more than guys. exactly.

it was a generalization. while i read your comment and understand the points you were making, i am well aware that this is not the case in every situation. but being surrounded by these people day after day, this is an impression i've gotten from many. everything is very superficial.

moral decline in Misc JoeUser Forums

While walking through the halls on a typical school day, some of the things I see disgust me. Young teens, thirteen and fourteen years old, are groping and making out with their boyfriends in the lobbies. The girls’ clothes are revealing, skin-tight, or barely there. When did young girls decide to look trashy, instead of classy? Why do they feel they need to dress so
