Kanye West VMA Awards

I feel that he went WAY too far. He was wrong for stealing the spotlight from Taylor. I agree that Beyonce's video was better, but it was completely out of line for Kanye to jump on stage like that.

The best / tastiest / healthiest fast food resturant?

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 20:33:46 -0500

I love Uno Chicago Grill, I believe it was voted as one of the Healthiest Restaurants a couple of years ago.....Try the "Numero Uno". It is a deep dish the ‘works’ pizza with sausage, pepperoni, onions, peppers, mushrooms and chunky tomato sauce. Topped with mozzarella and grated Romano.

Customer Service....Do Americans still take pride in our jobs?

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 20:25:50 -0500

From my experience, when grabbing some fast food at the drive thru, the employees seem to be imposed by me ordering food. If you take too long to order, they obviously become annoyed. After you pay and you get your food, they rarely thank you for your purchase or for visiting their establishment. I believe the worst for me is when dealing with some of the government offices, the DMV for example. I dread running that errand.

Is President Obama's speech to students motivational or political?

Guys, Americans have pulled out their umbrellas before even one rain drop has fallen. He has been in office 6 months, there is a HUGE mess to be cleaned up, lets help him do it.

Should people spank their kids?

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 14:02:22 -0500

I think 50 years ago we didn't have nearly the amount or types of problems we have now regarding our children. When I was a kid, my mom, my grandmother, my neighbor would all spank me when I came home from school after acting up and getting a paddeling from my teacher. I learned quickly that I was a child and they were adults. It taught me how I should and how I should not act. I knew to respect my elders, and I knew that I would be rewarded when I did the best I could. I am for it. And by the way, I do understand there is a difference in spanking and abusing.

LOL, well said!! You have managed to put into words what I have been thinking all along!

Should gays have the right to marry?

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 11:08:53 -0500

So I guess women shouldn't have fought for the right to vote, or slaves should have accepted the fact they were slaves, they knew they were black...why complain? Listen, since the beginning of this nation, we as a people have fought for equal rights and fought to be able to live our lives as we wish, with the pursuit of the "America Dream". It has not always been easy, but it has been necessary.

By the way, "buying a house beside the airport" is a poor comparison to gay rights. What does it matter to you what other people do? How does it affect your ability to provide for your family? You have the right to your opinion, but when you assist in the denial of equal rights you have over stepped your boundaries.

Gay marriage is mostly about benefits.

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 10:50:29 -0500

I am a woman who happens to be straight. I fully support gay rights and gay marriage, after all, the pursuit of happiness is for all, not just straights. While being married would afford me more benefits, discounts on car insurance, lower tax bracket, I want to get married because I am in love with the man of my dreams. I want a wedding (whether in a church or on the beach) and I want my wedding certificate, just as I would want my birth certificate, or my library card. I don't want to be married for the benefits, and I doubt that is what the gay community is after, I believe they are after EQUAL rights, If the benefits of marriage are afforded to me, they should be afforded to anyone who is married, Gay and Straight alike.

President's address to school children.

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 10:32:15 -0500

I think we've reached a little bit of the silly season when the president of the United States can't tell kids in school to study hard and stay in school. The dropout rate is something that threatens our long-term economic success. I'm beginning to believe that these wingnut parents would rather see their kids drop out than listen to THIS President encourage them to stay in school. President Obama in the White House is hugely threatening to the world as "the opposers" knew it – and it just looks better if they actually have some manufactured reason to protest, instead of being honest and admitting that, first, a black man, second, a liberal black man, third, a liberal black man with strong convictions, and fourth, a liberal black man with strong convictions who is still very popular, in the White House is their worst fear realized.

Should being PC be more important than having freedom of speech?

did you get it all out....the anger that is?

should homosexuals have the right to get married?

Wed, 28 May 2008 06:23:07 -0500

I agree, separate but equal is not equal. I cannot fathom why people are so against same sex marriage. People say it is wrong, it is against god, it is against nature, it is whatever. It is not my place to judge anyone's relationship less my own. Who cares if you agree or do not agree, that doesn't give you the right to take marriage away from a happy couple, whether they are gay, straight, purple, from mercury, or live in a corn field. Let them be.

Breastfeeding in public?

Wed, 28 May 2008 02:59:12 -0500

So just to make sure I understand you completely, you are saying that breastfeeding is appropriate unless you are "a big fat woman in a string bikini on the beach"? So if she were a fit thin woman in a string bikini on the beach all would be fine? Is it the act of her breastfeeding that you feel is inappropriate or her choice of attire? If it is the latter, I feel you are in the wrong debate, and that your argument is completely invalid.

I agree that breastfeeding is natural as well as nudity, but you do not need to be nude in order to survive, an infant must have nourishment.

Knowledge - Can you ever, really know?

One can have all the knowledge in the world, but without understanding it means nothing.

Breastfeeding in public?

Tue, 27 May 2008 04:42:37 -0500

I believe "a really fat guy wearing a speedo" and a mother feeding her hungry infant are two completely different scenarios that cannot be even remotely compared. What has happened to our society to make some feel something this natural and vital to our children's health and welfare should be viewed in a vulgar way? There are numerous studies that support how important breastfeeding is. Some advantages of breastfeeding include protection from infection, illness, and allergies. Breastfeeding enhances development and intelligence, which we all should agree our society could use much more of. The attractiveness or lack of a woman or her breast should not have any weight on whether or not she should breastfeed in public. The ability of a mother to provide her infant nourishment is a gift that she should embrace.
