Reply to Scotland: Partly British in International JoeUser Forums

I once said to a Scot something about them losing to the British. He said in all seriousness, but we didn't, we won. Although I thoroughly love the English, I feel more at home with the Scots and the Irish. I think their independence is more like us that that of the English. I was shocked at how prejudiced the English were to the Irish both northern and southern.

Reply to From un-American to anti-american in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Jepel, Your article is interesting for many reasons, but I can't help thinking that when I grew up, Americans always talked about how arrogant the French were and that visiting Paris was very unpleasant. My experience with the French in France was that most of them were polite and some even very kind to our family. Paris was our favorite city to visit. As for neo conservatives, I think that most other Americans consider them to be extr

Reply to Knee-Jerks on Both Sides in Democrat JoeUser Forums

Pork is funny, it is sometimes the only way to get important legislation passed. It is a form of corruption, no doubt. But the politician is always asking, will i get reelected if I vote this way? If the answer it so, then he or she must be given incentives.

Pork is funny, it is definitely a form of corruption, but without it, nothing gets down. Every politician asks what in it for me--if there is nothing there that he can take home and brag about, how is he or she going to fare in the next election.

Reply to Going to Ireland in Travel JoeUser Forums

I've been to Ireland. I spent one week there. We came from northern England on the ferry, so we started in Belfast. We didn't get very far south. Rent a car if you can. You'll be able to visit off the map sort of places. I like the eyewitness guides because they have pictures. I liked staying in B and B's because you can visit with the owner of the house. I haven't read Rick Steves, but I'm certain he has some good ideas from what i've seen.

Reply to The Politics Of Condemnation in International JoeUser Forums

I like the way you nuance an argument. Too many of us only see one perspective. You sound like someone who is genuinely interested in peace and justice for all sides in Ireland. I have yet to read whether you are a Protestant or Catholic, I may have missed a blog. But your articles do not betray your background.

I must have missed some of your other blogs, I didn't know that you were female. Your foolish ways are pretty mild for being foolish. You are a brilliant writer.

Reply to Compendium of Abortion Facts and Opinions in Current Events JoeUser Forums

What was interviewing her and what was the nurse being interviewed for. Which news source it is makes a difference. When writing about such a controversial subject such as abortion, you need to make all of your sources clear. Some sources are biased.

Reply to Points hungry in Blogging JoeUser Forums

You write very well. I didn't answer your blog, because I don't enjoy fill in the blank sort of blogs. Just experiment with writing. Some blogs will be responded to and others will be ignored. I appreciate comments even if they are short because I know someone is reading them. I don't always comment if I don't have anything to say.

Marc, I know that God does all these things, but sometimes it seems like we have to wait a long time for things to get better.

Reply to Retrospective Respect in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Life was definitely harder in the past, but those who live in Africa probably have it worse now than Aussies, Europeans, and Americans had it them. Well written article.

Anyone with your attitude will make a good doctor. No matter how difficult something is we can always learn from it. The joy of seeing a baby born will be incredible.

There are of course many definitions of normal. I suggest you use instead the term mentally healthy. Then thing of attributes of a mentally healthy person.
