Gideon: I don't know if this will be of any consolation to you, but when I was in a rut like this (it was not financial, it was a personal problem) I used to console myself that fate's foot is stomping hard on me and that it would tire soon and let me go. Fate's foot will tire of stomping on you too and let you go. Till then we'll keep praying. Love & Prayers, Olikara

Reply to How to Live Alone: A 12 Step Guide in Misc JoeUser Forums

TW: A very well written article. Your last article titled "This Time I'm Drunk on Love . . ." showed how much you and your husband loved each other. This one is a healthy, what could I say, appendix to it perhaps, which shows not just what army wives are going through now but also how much you miss him ( "Take your hairclip out and lay it beside you in bed. No one will roll over on it. ").

Reply to Diplomacy and Commonsense Are Not Dirty Words in Politics JoeUser Forums

If Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Egypt, Sudan, and Libya start seriously moving towards liberal democracy, won't that have a serious effect on terrorism? Yes, Madine, in my opinion that would sound the death knell of terrorism. But not one of these countr

"For anyone to have thought that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq would put to rout the global cells of terrorism would be naïve." Steve:You are correct. I'm not very sure about Iraq, but Afghanistan was the epicenter of the global terrorist network. And the world is today a safer place without the Al Qaeda having the benefits of an open training ground there. However in my opinion, this war can only be won with us(the opponents

EmperorofIceCream: On second thought, maybe I was putting across my point too hard. Though I differ with your opinion, you have every right to it still. Cheers.

Reply to Believe in my God or I'll Kill You in Misc JoeUser Forums

EmperorofIceCream: PLEASE do not misquote Christ. Christ in the 10th chapter of Mathew says : " Don't imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth! No, rather, a sword. I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's worst enemies will be found right in his own home! If you love your father and mother more than you love me, you are

Reply to Is this logically, humanly possible???!!! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

wuxiaomao: Welcome back. I was thinking about where you had been. I had not been seeing your comments to any of the blogs for some time now. Welcome back!! And yes, about the 2000 USD. Congratulations. What kind of a talent contest was it? You could write about it in your next blog. I guess this kind of money can get you a long way in China, right? Let me guess, food and shelter for 3 months at least.

Reply to Putin Rips US Policy Toward Chechnya in International JoeUser Forums

Larry, this is classic statecraft. America wants Russia as an ally, right as Russia still is a great power militarily and has tons of oil too. Besides it controls a good part of the tinderbox of the Caucasus. However America does not also want the Russians to grow too big for their boots. And they will use the Chechens here as a pawn for their own ends. Chechnya does provide America a stick to beat the Russians with, when needed.</fon

Hollywood and the color of your Skin in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

I have always loved watching Hollywood films. Here in India, we do not call them 'Hollywood' movies, we just call them 'English' movies. And, there is somethinhg in them that perplexes me. Why do most Hollywood films(the blockbusters at least) HAVE to have an African American (read, black) character tagged along with the main caucasian(read, white) character?
