RE: The Chamber and The Death Penalty

So, you are saying that you would rather know that someone is suffering? I sometimes wonder if there is something more sick about that, than there is about just putting someone out of their misery.

But hey, just exploring all sides of it....like I said, I don't really know which way to go on this one...I can see all the different aspects of it.

I wonder if it will come to a point where we cannot house all these people....then what?

RE: The Chamber and The Death Penalty

Yeah the cost may be more due to the legal process, but the actual injection is not that expensive. I dont think we can use that as an accurate gauge here because the bureacracy of the US law system really is a separate issue from the acutal 'cost' of injected someone with a needle.

Im not going to go into whether I believe 'in' the penalty or not, because right now I am undecided, and I think I could go either way.

But, I was thinking, why dont they just make the other inmates that have life sentences inject the actual drug? They have nothing to lose and they are probably in there for murder anyway.

Now Miss Dodge, to address your intial question, could I do it? Well, I think if we are talking depressing a needle plunger filled with a death cocktail, yes, but I think I would not be able to do it if I had to say, shoot them in the face or use a guilltine or kill them using some other method.

Are you superstitious?

Mr. Lost that kinda reminds me of the show " My name is Earl" is that what its called?

RE: Shoot a gun!

haha...shooting guns is fun, and great stress relief....it used to be a hobby of mine but then I sold my gun and haven't gotten a new one yet...

and yes, wear ear and eye protection....

Are you superstitious?

haha....no worries all

I totally know how it goes....

Are you superstitious?

Are you superstitious?

Big John-

Exactly! I dont go out of my way to 'obey' them all the time either...just occurred to me that I do have them to an extent when I was listening to that song....

Are you superstitious?

Are you superstitious?

wow...playing with omens? In what sense?

Are you superstitious?

Was just sitting here listening to music...and the song 'Very Superstitious' by Stevie Wonder came on......so after jammin out a bit....I wondered......

Am I.........superstitious?

Superstition is a credulous belief or notion, not based on reason, knowledge, or experience.

Well, I think ladybugs are lucky, I think Black Cats are a sign of bad times to come, I knock on wood on occasion, and I cringe at the idea of opening an umbrella in the house.



Does anyone else have any supersitions? Maybe your ear burns, you carry a lucky rabbits foot....or you still don't step on cracks on the sidewalk......

Sabotaging relationships

but dont worry if it makes you feel any better I believe I have been on the recieving end of such sabatoges...

RE: Do you like classical music?

Yes....I listen to classical music and jazz quite a bit...I like Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, (my cat really likes Mozart too) I guess animals and plants respond to the different vibrations in the music....I think it is due to some particular type of arragement in the music? I forgot but I know I saw a show on it....

anyway, yes I listen to it

Sabotaging relationships

Well he was a nice, geniune guy, not really the manipulative type but more the type that never saw why he pushed women away....and I had to hear non-stop about all these relationship faux paus infused with hints about how I should just date him since we got along so good.....and I just got tired of it..and tired of the advances mixed in with the pity...usually I would just listen to it but it got really neurotic at times, and I figured I could just tell him what I thought the problem was........guess I took it too far but all I can say is that even though it probably wasnt what he wanted to hear it was exactly what he needed to hear..... I told him straight up why the women were probably running in the other diretion haha...

I felt justified in my behavior at the time because I had tried the nice route for a while knowing how he reacted to things....but I guess I just assumed he would get over it....but I must have hit a heartstring?

Sabotaging relationships

Danny - haha sorry yeah I just kind of slapped this post together You get the gist though, just drink wine instead of beer while you read it

Sabotaging relationships

Well John I do commend men for trying, but Im pretty direct person and I told him on a few separate occassions that I thought of him as a friend or like a brother...I thought that would do the trick?

Sabotaging relationships

Hi Miss CherryBrandy-

Well, part of the problem was that I really didn't feel horrible about telling him that, Im a pretty open person. Just in hindsight that I lost a good friend.

But then I start to wonder like the other poster said, maybe it really wasnt a friendship anyways?

Sabotaging relationships

Have you ever sabotaged a relationship, for any reason? Maybe you were tired of dealing with the person, or perhaps you wanted to end the relationship long ago but weren't quite sure how, so you did something ridiculous to just push them away?

I've never done this in a dating relationship, but I realized that I did indeed do this to a good friend. That was not my intial intent...but he started to blur the lines between friends and wanting to date. I had made it clear many times I had no desire to date him...(thought of him more as a brother)

So after many subtle hints falling flat..and also blantant "No's" falling flat.....I suppose I was just tired of dealing with his behaviors, I ended up saying some pretty blunt things to him in order to get him off my back. I didnt want to lose him as a friend but I wasn't sure how else to make it clear to him that I was not interested. Horrible, I know.

RE: BURNOUT

Yes....and it has usually always been related to work or school....not burned out right now because I have a nice long weekend! But hey....once the grind begins again who knows

RE: Childhood memories

Mr. Ooby Dooby-

In one of my older blogs I think I wrote that I once was told that your very first memory is indicative of how you view yourself and your life.and is linked to your lifes themes.......I think there is truth to this...also, I once met a lady who actually vividly recalls being 6mos old...thats crazy, right?

My earliest memory is also from age 4.....my sister and I were running around in our sunday dresses outside my grandmothers house in Milwaukee, and it was starting to rain lightly, and we just danced and spun around in the rain, while my grandmother chased us around with the newspaper....

I wish I was a kid again

RE: Why do Men love BAD Girls?

mmmm...Tacos and Doner Kabob!!

I think you are simply chosing men who dont want a committment...because those are the things those men say.

RE: Is obama Listening To The American People?

mjames-

Have you ever tried to get an appointment or quality healthcare from a VA hospital? Have you ever waited months even weeks to get an appointment? Waited years for a review of your files just to find out they reviewed the wrong records and you have to submit ALL over again?

When I said things are more efficient in the private sector I was referring to the ease of use and the quality of care. If we socialze medicine like this ridiculous plan they are trying to pass....it will spread the same bureacracy.... Yes, IM sure there are scandals....I would never look at a model of a VA hospital and think that this is how we should give healthcare to our people. Its horrible, and a freakin hodgepodge of idiots running these hospitals.

RE: Is obama Listening To The American People?

never said that either...but really it doesn't matter who is president, it's his cabinet running things. While I don't affiliate with either party (moreso independent) I have to say that Republican ideals make the most sense. Less government involvement. Anytime the government gets involved in something it turns into a bunch of wasted money and wasted resources. The private sector runs things much more efficiently. Too much red tape. And now, Obama is going to make the White House Red with all his freakin RED tape!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Is obama Listening To The American People?

Obama should have never been elected. PERIOD. He is going to drive this country into the ground.....

He has turned Washington into Hollywood, good policies into bad policies, taxes into more taxes, and is on the brink of making a disaster out of our health care.

RE: Just to clear the air...opinions and their value

I have found that people in general are highly sensitive...so I think its much more about the tone and approach you use when presenting your opinions than it is about your opinion itself.

I havent read any of your posts, so I cant be certain, but usually that is what it is.

RE: I need to share some negative news with you, which you would find out sooner or later.

Hellooo-

I am sorry to hear about all these crazy things you are going through, but I know you will make it!

I don't fully agree with your thought that your Karma is related to not being sensitive to people's illnessess...I think it means you had good health in your past life!

Anyway, my suggestion is you try acupuncture. My mom was supposed to have two knee replacements, but decided to go with acupuncture instead. Now she walks everywhere, no pain, no knee replacements. I used to go to one, but my insurance changed so I stopped, but I will tell you that the lady I went to practiced in China for 25 years, and it helped me so much. Anyway, haha....my whole point here is that I was reading alot about it and one of the main things people get it done for is infertility, and they have amazing results.

Good luck, and stay strong
