I fail to see what Southern breakfast foods have to do with anything...
When you have to explain the joke, I guess it's not a very good one, huh?
Jet added to his post - at first it just said "ad hominem". So I made the reference to Southern breakfast foods (hominem=hominy). Get it? No? See, because...you know, like grits that Southerners eat for...ummm...okay, never mind...my husband thought it was funny...

Jimmy,
Vrai is dead on! Was thinking the very exact thing, sure does bring back memories of being very young and knowing it all.
My ideals haven't shifted so much as the way to implement my ideals has.
I could go on forever, but a simple example is that I've learned that it is not the role of the government to play nursemaid to the indigents of this country (or the world for that matter). That role of making the world a better place falls upon ourselves, as INDIVIDUALS. NOT THE GOVERNMENT! One thing that very few "educated Professors" will tell you is that the population of the United States is the most charitible on the planet. (Even after taxes) That is a FACT.
The problem with young ideals is the thought process that "the government and big business must do something to save the homeless, the hungry, the afflicted" rather than getting out there and personally getting involved to make a difference (except for maybe marching around DC with a bunch of signs screaming at the Government and Big Business for being so heartless).
I guess in conclusion what I'm trying to say is, rather than pining over the woes of the world and attempting to place blame, one day the light bulb came on and I (me myself and I) started DOING something about what I saw as the woes of the world. It was MY responsibility, not anybody elses.
How's that for droning on and on and not really getting to the point I was trying to make! Drats!

Good god there's something in the air today...Kyle agrees with ME on politics and I'm agreeing with Monkey on politics...what the hell is going on??
Yeah better pay won't NECESSARILY land you better people....it MAY attract better people though and MAY help keep some of the good ones teaching instead of looking for other jobs.
and "Stop going to professional sporting events, movies, concerts, stop buying DVDs and CDs and video tapes, stop reading the Globe and Enquirer and EW. Vote for politicians who will raise your taxes to increase funding for education and law enforcement. We control their salaries"
That pretty much says it all. Complaining about this type of issue too much and continuing to engage in all the behaviors that support it is pretty much useless. Be mindful of your vote!

Military personnel, anyone? I'd sure like to know why the most important jobs in our society are also the lowest paying.
Yeah,
Military members don't make anything like what equivalent skilled people make in the private sector. E1 (new guy) makes $1022.70 a month (no extra incentives). The top dogs (JCS Member) can receive about $14,000 a month (with all additions for housing, subsistence, and extra incentives).

I know, Cari - I was just throwing out another example.

Considering Teachers work 9 of 12 months a year and have great hours I dont think they have too bad of a deal at all.
I see the toughest thing about being in the military is all of the moving that you have to do. In the Navy its probably the worst, they uproot you every 3 years and send you out to sea during those three years. Has to be almost impossible to have a family etc.

Jet,
Don't forget that there are quite a few liberals out there that feel they don't pay enough taxes. I'm not saying that it is affordable, but the libs think the money is just laying around waiting to be grabbed up for their cause.

MSNBC STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
June 4 — In an attempt to address the rapidly spreading clerical sex abuse crisis, Roman Catholic bishops are unveiling a plan under which any priest who sexually abuses a minor, or any priest who has abused more than one minor in the past, would be defrocked, it was reported Tuesday.
So they seem to be looking the other way when it comes to the “one time tasters”, they are just going after the serial offenders. I think they should all be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Seeing somethings never have changed. Sending some love to my old buddies: Vrai, King Ken, Penquin, just to name a few. I see alot of others have joined the crowd.. And a few that are still rainting on.. Well I suppose I will give my opinion about this topic. There are alot of people that fit under this category, and not even realizing it, or maybe feeling they have to fit in the in crowd, so they compromise their true beliefs. Reading a few posts - its seems to me, people love using God to justify themselves of their wrongdoing. A true believer knows - Love the sinner and not the sin. We ALL fall short of the Glory. No man is better then the next one.. I have learned and understood, that I can not hold God to my standards, because who am I, Im just a falling man, that believes truly what the bible says. Despite what others quote, or say to me. Its my salvation Im trying to save, not theirs. But back to the topic - Anyone that is a leader whether in the Church, or politics, or some other type of organization. If you take a oath in doing something you believe in, and you are practicing something else that goes totally against what you said an oath too, then you are a hypocrite... Wear the H well, I always say.. Don't deny your wrong doing. You weren't denying it, when you were doing it in the dark.. I suppose this will be a fun ride once again..

Hi TT! Missed you baby! Saw BBC on here the other day but he doesn't love us anymore because he didn't post.
