RE: The next President of the US will be a Democrat

RE: Charlie Hebdo

now, now Ali you and I both know that statement is hokem

RE: Charlie Hebdo

and Ali the press has the responsibility to report the truth in news and news events. Like the gathering in France in support of Je suis Charlie!

RE: Charlie Hebdo

It's quite interesting that if those "raids and shootouts" in Europe had happened in America, the Americans would be up in arms about it. American police cannot just go immediately to folks that they "watch" and raid the place and have shootouts.

Americans say, we have to have just cause, and due process and lawyers are involved and we can't profile based on religion and.... it is certainly condemnation when USA tries these same things as Europe is doing now.

It needs to be done, and now American's can't do it that way......

RE: Charlie Hebdo

we all need a group HUG ..... you too Ali!

RE: Charlie Hebdo

I find it offensive to read your comments quoted above, Ali - because your idea of a women being protected in Islam is totally using a definition I here in the West do not understand. In a free America as a woman I don't need to "be protected" I can stand free and not need protection in my own country. I am free to choose.

RE: The next President of the US will be a Democrat

I thought that usually, historically? if a republican was president the next one would be democrate.... so wouldn't a republican be the next likely president?

of course the candidates for the republican party presidency, imo, suck.

RE: Is people who take too many 'selfies' mentally ill?

I hope that taking too many selfies is a sign of mental illness! I want it, I earned it, I need it!

RE: Charlie Hebdo

so actually in your neck of the woods, your area - it is millions.

RE: Charlie Hebdo

There are an estimated 1.6 billion Muslims around the world, making Islam the world’s second-largest religious tradition after Christianity, according to the December 2012 Global Religious Landscape report from the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion & Public Life.

Although many people, especially in the United States, may associate Islam with countries in the Middle East or North Africa, nearly two-thirds (62%) of Muslims live in the Asia-Pacific region, according to the Pew Research analysis. In fact, more Muslims live in India and Pakistan (344 million combined) than in the entire Middle East-North Africa region (317 million).

RE: Charlie Hebdo

I stand corrected on the billions - however, what "human rights" are you speaking about?

The rights of the fringe to dictate to the many?

RE: If you....

I kinda agree with you. If someone is offering a gift of a trip - all expenses paid, great.

It is just important and not spoiled at all, to think that your investment of your time has value. It's like those preplanned tours - however if you don't like the way the tour guide treats you on the tour..... well - lesson learned.

RE: Charlie Hebdo

that is just your opinion Ali - there are lots of things to do in modern society.

RE: Charlie Hebdo

I read a post a few days ago, it read:

We have the freedom to choose, however we are bound by the consequences of that choice.

RE: Charlie Hebdo

Gosh isn't it wonderful to express your opinion on something and not have to worry about violence to your person for that expression.

It is always important to remember you cannot speak for others. We often forget when we make generalizations that start with all blacks, or all catholics, or all women, or all men, or all connecting singles, or all....

as far as billions of muslims - it is the violent fringe that is trying to dictate terms to the millions - not billions of muslims

Not cheap Pedalguy - inexpensive! Never Cheap!

RE: The meanest person you have ever known....???

I remember hearing a story about a woman who would go out to bar/pub/restaurants flirt with the single men there, find one who paid for dinner.... and then say they were going to the ladies room and sneak out the back door.....

now that is mean!

RE: The meanest person you have ever known....???

one article - excerpted here has the opinion of....


I don’t see frugality as an alternative or extreme lifestyle. I see it as acting normally. I think the notion of frugality is really about getting back to what is “normal” in terms of consumption and waste. What we’ve been doing these last fifty years or so — the high spending, debt ridden, wasteful, over-consumptive life — isn’t normal. It’s extreme and we’re finally realizing that. We’re finally realizing that such a lifestyle isn’t normal or sustainable, either for the planet or us as individuals. Thus, more and more people are turning away from the extreme and heading back toward normal, which is where frugality resides.

RE: The meanest person you have ever known....???

frugal - mean

A new survey of 2,000 U.S. consumers, the second issued
by Booz & Company since the early days of the recession, confirms that a “new frugality,” born of the Great Recession and evidenced by two consecutive years of declining per capita consumption, is now becoming entrenched among U.S. consumers and is reshaping their consumption patterns in ways that will persist even as the economy starts to recover.

It must be one of many "lost in translation" words from English to American.

I knew a guy that was soooooo stingy, he wouldn't pay for anything. He wouldn't even pay attention.
