nice piece Moderate Man. As I've always said there are 2 worlds: the world as we want it to be and the world as it really is. We as Americans are convinced that we have to be tolerant and accepting of others especially with respect to religion. Freedom of speech and religion are guaranteed. But the fact is peaceful Americans, Canadians and Europeans are struggling with militant muslims that made their home there and then rejected the values of the host. I myself barely contain my disdain for

Just how many idiots are there? in Humor JoeUser Forums

OK, so I had the good fortune to have a morning off. So an English Muffin, a newspaper and the remote control were definitely in the cards. I watched Sportscenter and the News back and forth. At 9 the talk show circuit begins. I know all about daytime TV, I used to work nights. I have never watched more than bits of pieces of shows whose topic descriptions are listed as " transsexual slave traders and the obs

Texas Wahine, thanks for clearing that up for me. 2 years ago I wrote about my marriage and I came across as a real shit. When I blog I write to a) make myself feel better and to b) get a response. You came down pretty hard on me 2 years ago I believe. And I respect it. If you were to know the whole story, there is so much to tell, you would still not be able to wrap your head around it. My marriage has a lot of problems but I am sticking around. Maybe for the kids for now and I'll see what h

Texas wahine. I hope I'm reading your comment and you didn't just get really judgemental on me. In fairness to the possibility that you weren't let me say that I post this stuff because I am not afraid to put myself out there, whether you think it is slick or not. Nor do I think there is a perfect person. I am the most realistic person you will ever meet. Not pessimistic just very realistic. I just got really bummed over having been hit by an old memory. A happy marriage is just not in

Did i mention that yesterday was my Wedding Anniversary?When I gave that "poor wife" a card and present yesterday she looked at me and said "oh yeah..you too." I'm not in a bad marriage, just a loveless one. I'm sure you could all find a way to paint me the bad guy but it is what it is.

It was a perfect day with the family. I drove up to Ossippee Lake, NH early this morning to meet my family who stayed overnight. We had a great day of swimming, throwing the football in the water and making the obligatory big splashing catch. Followed by Pizza with my parents at our favorite Pizza Restaurant (favorite for riding home from our lake house that is) and we split cars. Girls with Mom and boys with Dad. <span style="fon

women as objects part deaux in Blogging JoeUser Forums

It's as if he read my blog last night. My misogynistic coworker I now refer to as my "lecherous lothario" actually approached me regarding his "little problem". And by little problem I mean that he sees women as a dog eyes a side of beef hanging in a butcher store window. Apparently some worlds collided last night when more than one of his lady friends showed up at the same time at his hunting...I mean stomping grounds. This is a statistically strong likelihoo

Reply to Random acts of kindness: A nice thing but not without it's negetive results in Blogging Stardock Forums

Don't give up on kindness over one negative result.I was at the registry of motor vehicles once with a customer and he was talking my ear off. I saw a young mother struggling with the door and her double stroller. I dashed over and opened the doors for her and then the outside door. She appreciated it (I've done the double stroller thing) and I didn't need anything in return. I was also at a restaurant one day when the couple next to me couldn't pay for lunch because their caard declined. I p

Reply to Back to the beginning of a possible unhappy ending in Blogging Stardock Forums

yesterday happened, today is not over and tomorrow hasn't happened yet. If you read a couple of my '06 posts my wife and I hit the skids hard and we were both very much at fault. We pushed each other away more than we pulled each other in. But things are a little better now (she has never read my blogs!!!) and while the kids were one of the only motivations for me to stay I also found that even though we were becoming different people the one I fell in love with is still in there somewhere.</

The woman as an object in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Hey, eyes up here pal! I love the ladies, I always have. I love the way a woman can brighten a room by entering it. I admire an attractive woman as I would a painting at the Louvre. It has been said that I can be a big puddle of stupid around an attractive woman. I am a people watcher and enjoy observing people and taking them in. It’s not always sexual in nature. Well, it is a little sexual because I have never looked at a man’s ass a

So I stated in my last post that I found the end of The Breakfast Club to be horseshit. Let me first emphatically state that I love the ending, I just don’t see it happening. As The Simple Minds crooned their mega-hit “ Don’t you forget about me ”, the credits rolled and the screen faded to darkness I couldn’t help but ask myself “But what happened the next day?!” If only I had bee

"Ya know what I got for Christmas? A carton of cigarettes! Smoke up Johnny! It was a banner fuckin’ year in the Bender house!” A timeless quote from a timeless movie that I stumbled upon the other night while channel-surfing trying to figure out why I spend so much money on movie channels. The Breakfast Club . The definitive, classic teen movie that depicts the American High School in all of its exclusionary, fashion-conscious,

In memory of a good friend in Blogging JoeUser Forums

A week ago a very good customer of mine left my workplace in the usual manner. He got pissed off and left in a huff because he didn't get his way when he submitted his latest unreasonable request. We jokingly told him to "get lost", "go to hell", the usual. If I knew that I would never see him again I would have probably have thought of something nicer. He hi

Hey Jesse Jackson...please sit down in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Jesse Jackson should follow the legacy of Rosa Parks and just sit the fuck down. And it logically follows that he should shut the hell up as well. Without causing controversy, I hate controversy (tongue in cheek) will someone out there agree that Jesse Jackson is a racist? I am not an Obama fan. I dread an Obama Presidency. Not because he is black (couldn't care less if he was purple), not because he and I aren't in the same party, and not because I think he is a bad person.

Thanks Newsweek...you reminded me! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Last month I read in Newsweek that blogging is therapeutic. I knew that. I am no stranger to blogging, hell I was doing it long before it became the phenomenon that it is now. I saw it as a great opportunity to vent when needed, to tear when in the mood and to actually write something that mattered to somebody. Even if that somebody was me. Unfortunately I belonged to a couple of sites that rewarded controversy and inflammatoey rhetoric pumped out by over-zealous insomniacs who sough

Reply to If racism is still alive, who are the ones keeping it alive? in Current Events Stardock Forums

good to have another conservative around here. I totally agree that we are hyper-sensitive to racist terms and overtones. It is an unfortunate presence in everything we do and say. With reference to the kool-aid, Hannity was using the term in reference to Jonestown, not socio-economic soft-drinks. People need to lighten up. Why don't we look at the game of 8 ball as racist because the goal is for the white ball to run the black ball off the table?
