Sorry to hear that Locamama. A husband and wife would at least respect the thoughts of one another, to the point where you wouldn't be rocking the marital boat so to speak. Actually your opinion is well stated. Simple and true. It's too bad you're getting the shaft from the hubby. And Sexstump c'mon man you could have come up with something better than that. If you don't mind I'll plug your site here to the few viewers of this blog. :) www.sexstump.com

thanks for the link and yes I think I shall blog on. At least to get some of these thoughts out. Especially 'who benefits?'. Bigtime especially. Again thanks! :)
thanks for the response sir. As you were. :)
With the coming election and the obvious fact that Iraq is turning into a quagmire with no end in sight, Bush and Co. have to remain very wary of the June 30 handover of power to the Iraqi Government. The one question people have to ask (which they never do) when something major happens is 'who benefits'? With all the mumbo jumbo on the airwaves about who's to blame,
look at the pics if the US GI's. Many are foreigners, likely bucking to get a green card. That may be why we don't hear about all the US deaths. They're not leagally American yet.
Once again I find myself having to tell people that these images are the human cost of the senseless war in Iraq. They are of some children who died in their homes in Fallujah. Kids who never had the chance to even know what the hell is going on around them. Again, if you don't like these kinds of images, don't bother to look. If you like these kinds of images, then t
I think I read that. Was it your post that was an angry rant about the war? If so, I agree totally. It hits home when you know someone eh? Sorry to hear it.
This is an awesome account of what happened on the march to Baghdad. It's graphic, but really the reading is what fascinated me. Also here's a supplementary photo journey during the actualy fall of Baghdad. http://digitaljournalist.org/issue0304/afpf_index.html Think of how far downhill the situation has gone since those optimistic days. A year later it's dea
truly welcome my dear. truly. :)
ahh too true.
thanks Jill for the comments. It's true what you say but overall I believe the kids better off being taught at home, at least a the earliest stages of their schooling lives. I find no need or desire to leave my kid's brain with some teacher I don't even know to trust. There are more pro's than cons when you homeschool. Kids grow up too fast at public school.
yes christian is the word I should have used. Duh. Yeah it's all christian based here. Which is fine I guess.
when you post an article it gives you the option to post it in the forum as well. I have it set to yes. My kids are 7 and 4. They're learning waayyyy more than they would at a school. We're planning to do it until at least grade 5 or 6 when we'll give the the choice to go to a regular school if they so wish. We'll see. But for us a big thing is how crummy the kids in the system can be. It may sound silly but grade 2 kids I've heard talk about kissing
what I find odd is that while the US proclaims they're bringing democracy to Iraq, it's not going to be a one-man-one-vote system. That's why the Shiites are pissed off. The democracy there isn't the same democracy as we have here. If it were, the Shiites would win the majority then turn Iraq into an Iran.
thanks wisefawn. I'll keep my eyes open for the articles. You don't remember her name?
Brad you can toot your own horn if you like but I think it's entirely possible for the US's foreign policy to be screwing one person while helping another. It's a no-brainer really. Of course the US has done good in the world. Of course they've advanced society and they have helped mankind in many ways. However, they also do some pretty nasty stuff in order to maintain it's control over the regions of the world. Their policy of sanctions against Iraq s
thanks for the comments folks. Someone said the US wouldn't be invading any other countries after the Iraq fiasco. I have to say that while it's possible, I find it unlikely. The neocons and the powers that be in Washington these days are good at one thing. Waging war and annihilating their military enemy. I think, to them, the payoff of another invasion would be good, unfortunately. I know the US can't leave Iraq now but it's a darn shame they were se
that's what made the Vietnam War unwinnable. But more firepower sucks the US in even further. Why does the necesary action have to be so hawkish all the time? Firepower won't win this war in Iraq. Not anymore. And I think the tragegy for humanity is 'more firepower' don't you think?
unfortunately it is too late for many US Marines. CNN is now reporting that insurgents have mounted a large-scale strike against the Marines and as many as 12 are feared dead. What a total 100% shame. All over lies.
Hello. I thought you may like this blog site I came across a while back. She's in the same boat as you, kind of. I assume you're speaking of a love that didn't turn out to be? Peace. http://heartbreak78.tripod.com/heartbreak78/
It's clear the US line of success in Iraq is nothing more than mere political rhetoric. CNN is busy reporting that al-Sadr's private army has taken over the entire administration in Najaf. And for the firm believers in the White House's words you can explain how it is that the US trained US armed police force is in negotiations with al-Sadr for their re-taking their
that's interesting when you put it that way. I think he was telling the truth. But that's just me.
This is a link for you to use if you want to know facts about the casualties the US is facing over there in Iraq. I think it's pretty thorough and it's updated every day (unfortunately). What surprised me was the amount of action the other coalition armies are facing. I don't think we hear about the Polish army. But they've been taking casualties as well. Check it out
My wife and I decided to home school our children. We've been at it for at least a year and a bit and the benefits are worth the time and effort. Lots of people say it screws the kid up if he doesn't interact with kids in a school. Well for us that argument is moot since my kids still see and interact with other kids many times each week. There's homeschooling get-tog
it's better than nothing at all cannman. I even rate it as insightful. Pretty neat though eh?
