It's not just about word usage; it's also about the attitude. Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but you seem to have a very big chip on your shoulder. I was having a conversation with a co-worker the other day who, like my wife, is from Mexico. She was talking about how she prefers shopping at a mall here in Atlanta that is predominately Hispanic because she feels like the white people stare at her in the other malls. I asked her if she had consi

I was listening to Sean Hannity last night and I feel that unfortunately, the conservatives are trying to do what they say they hate most about Democrat judicial appointments; legislate from the bench. While I appreciated the John Roberts nomination because he is a true scholar of the law, many conservatives were whining that he was not conservative (ie anti-abortion) enough and did not reflect their ideals. Oddly enough, Ann Coulter has already begun her tirades against our newest nom

Then, able-bodied men would return to help others in need, as wives and others cared for children, elderly, infirm and the like. Sorry, the able bodied men had nowhere to return from; they were waving white T-shirts from the roofs of their houses.... pitiful.

On the contrary, child abuse and neglect is a crime. Believe it or not we do have police and a justice system that deals with crimes. We also have special units of the Police that deal with animal abuse. "Animal Police" is one of my favorite TV shows. Sadly, watching it makes me think that we ofte

By the way, it should be sacreligious to own any Christmas movie, you should HAVE to plan having the whole family sit down at an appointed time near Christmas eve and watch together on TBS. Hey, the commercials at Christmas are great!!<BR

I simply don't know what to say to this. I slightly see your point. As the husband of a Mexican born (Puebla) lady, I share your hatred of intolerance. As the father of 6 interracial children, this crap scares the bejesus out of me. Let's face facts Philomedy, there are indeed intolerant people in this world. However, I will tell you this without a hint of doubt, this trash will go nowhere towards convincing th

I've long since been one of those "hire the best person for the job" folks, and yet baseball continues to under-impress on it's social responsibilities in the areas of hiring diversity for these management type roles. If this was the NFL, we'd be hearing about minority candidates that are being shortlisted for interviews for thes

Sorry but this is just downright silly! MS Office 200 Pro by itself comes on "2" CD's. That is 768 Megs times 2, that's 1.536 GIG! Are you going to download that much info?

I remember incidences in some southern communities, maybe in Texas or some flash floodprone areas, but I don't remember exactly where, just the images, wherein people where hanging on rooftops and in trees waiting for help. None of this dispicable disdain and blame emerged that was directed at the victims. Why is that, I wonder?

Side note: Critics claim that getting a license is too hard because there are no driver's license offices in Atlanta. For the unaware, Atlanta is really just a bunch of small cities that form the metro Atlanta area. I would consider the State Capitol to be about as central Atlanta as you can get. I performed a search at the link below searching for the closest ID issuer from the state capitol. The closest is a mere 8 miles away with a total of three offices within 13 miles. <

Well, according to this story, it appears Jimmy Carter feels that old people, poor people and black people are too ignorant, lazy or apathetic to be able to go out and get themselves a state issued ID for presentation at the voting booth. GA has recently passed a law requiring identification (GA driver's license, state issued ID or US passport) for proof of i

1. Any major network; NBC, CBS, ABC and definitely CNN. Fox is less biased as far as reporting goes, but they certainly have the bulk of the right leaning talk shows, however I don't consider that news. 2. When's the last time we heard anything good come out of Iraq? New Orleans? I found one newspaper, one lousy, obscure online newspaper that carried the AP report that the stories of murder and rape coming out of New orleans were either over s

What's really sad is that you can find freeware that probably works better than anything Norton makes versus the risk of breaking the law. As regards piracy, I will say this: All software companies should eliminate cd's. Make all software a download that requires a unique keycode for activation. However, make that keycode easily retrievable either online or by email. I have had inumerable cases where I have formatted a computer only to find that I have software for which I have the key

Wait, I will add this as well, Ramen Noodles are our even bigger friend!! My wife's from Mexico so you're preaching to the choir about the beans and rice. No beans and rice in the fridge breaks the 11th commandment in our house. Also, I can teach you how to make the equivalent of five cans of spaghettios for less than $1.00 and it tastes better (sopa de fideo).
