from murasaki Thursday, March 27, 2008 - 18:26 (Agree/Disagree?) At first glance I thought you were referring to osama, as in osama bin laden. I couldn't figure out why you were defending him and that we should be sympathetic to his plight having grown up in the family. Lol! I finally realized what you were talking about. Perhaps that type of misassociation is part of the problem? (reply to this comment)

From Rush Limbaugh Friday, March 28, 2008, 04:53 (Agree/Disagree?) There are three people we have to worry about: Osama, Obama, and Chelsea's Momma.(reply to this comment)

from ErikMagnusLehnsher Wednesday, March 26, 2008 - 18:02 (Agree/Disagree?) I think it's natural that during elections people are going to be curious about the candidates and what experiences inform their perspective on the world. I find it interesting. Likewise, I find some of John McCain's experiences and heroism in Vietnam to be interesting. People can't choose if they're going to be born into rich or poor families or have good parents or shitty parents who join shitty cults. I think you have just judge people by what they do and how they conduct themselves in the situations they find themselves. If everybody, everywhere was disgusted by those who didn't have it as badly as they did then Dramamine would be the new water. (reply to this comment)

From Curlygirl Friday, March 28, 2008, 15:22 (Agree/Disagree?) Thanks for bringing that up Sharon. Having attended public school for two years when I was young, I can attest to the fact that the psychological pain I sustained from peers persecuting me for my race is no less real than the issues I have because of growing up in the group.

From Sharon Wednesday, March 26, 2008, 16:23 (Agree/Disagree?) The way I see it: I don't appreciate people comparing my life to 'starving kids in Africa' in an attempt to minimalize my abuse or hardship. By the same token, I don't think it's right to compare our lives to someone else's hardship in an attempt to minimalize their hardships. (reply to this comment)
