I never meant to question your relationship of honesty with your son or anyone elses... my comment was "in general" of most parent and young adult childrens "total Honesty factor". never intended to disparage your relationship with your son.
Media and advertising has a huge effect on everyones life from literal brainwashing, to subliminal influences. and ladies themselves even escalate this thinking process by wearing what the media says is "fashionable".
I believe there was a time in history where our elected officials did receive payola, but what they actually did benefited their state and country and well sorta was given a individualized bonus for a job well done. Now its apparent the job being done well has become a second priority to these old greedy codgers.( their pensions, healthcare programs are beyond compare)
As a mother, wife, and citizen she has my respect, however if this is the best that McCain and the republican party has to offer to be the next VP.
she is vindictive ( sisters Ex ) she entered a political office with a zero debt and left it with over a million dollar debt.
According to my own personnal experiences and from what other working class folks say this is exactly what we do not need more of.
Again I will state this Obama's only redeeming quality I have heard is he will chose his cabinet and advisors once in office without regard to partyline.... but as most intelligent citizens know what they say and do before and after elected are 2 different species of animal.
I agree a "change is needed" and not along partylines but the old must willingly leave the legislative branch or be voted out....
Remember all things a president takes credit for or gets blamed for has been approved by our legislative branch...and check the legislative roster too many have been there for more than 2 and 3 presidency's. they are our governments greatest weakness. too old to bend too set in there ways of getting things done.
BHO says its time for change.... lets see how he does when the ol timers republicans and democrats alike are removed form the legislative branch... I'm not voting any partyline I'm voting for change in the legislative branch of government... Lets see how our executve branch deals with the new school legislators.
DAMN THE OLD LEGISLATORS(3 OR MORE TERMS) DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS BOTH
These are the ones who are and should be held accountable. they where sent there to (state capitals and D.C.) torepresent their constituents not rubber stamp a presidents ideology, and take Pac and special interest monies as if its included as part of their annual salary.
Aside from the bashing of each others opinions, I've learned from Obama supporters unknowns about McCain, and from McCain supporters unknown facts about Obama..... Suffice to say, I feel confident in saying neither has what it will take to be the right person for the job at ths particular time in our country's growing unstability. these threads have solidified my thoughts of not voting for a President at all.
let the Electoral College handle it... it usually does anyway.
I presume only "they" can see the intangibles that I have to offer. To speak or name them sorta negates their intangibility doesn't it?
I spoke once of enticements, they are not listed like some catalog, but they exist... perhaps only to the "one" that is meant/or wants to see them, sure one can speak of/on their dedication, goodwill, honesty and compassion, but if the seeker does not seek these intangibles or enticements that you have to offer what value are they then to them?
then only to the person that possesses them is there value, in which case bragging and stating them does not make them more tangible or intangible for that matter. The "Look at me and what I can do/offer"sorta demeansor depreciates the intangible.
final answer.. my enticements I offer are the intangibles.
Lending/credit institutions and banks are what the top 5% call mattresses.
please tell me no one here thinks they let their money sit and collect dust.
they invest, loan, and fund the very institutions that are are in dire straits.
they did not get the returns on the investments they made so they cut back on the work force and raised the cost on everything..
now they are coming to the same source that did provide them profits (smaller then what they wanted), and threaten our parents and children's futures if we the working class do not capitulate to their demands for federal welfare and subsidies to allow them to continue to live their extravagant lifestyles they have come to expect and now demand....
My response is I am invested in some things and am taking a loss currently. Screw the Affluent Wealthy Types. how does my 1000 dollar loss become less important than your 500,000.00 loss?
I'm voting out every politician who has served more than 4 terms, Party lines mean nothing to me anymore.
As for Wall Street... never been... but My street I know, and it is hurting too.
When My street starts improving then I'll gladly consider a "trickle down economic plan" for Wall street.
Wow such high standards.... I cannot recall how many I have dated my ex even have the ability to take a song and totally butcher it but alas, my standards are not as high as yours.... oh how I remember those awful but humorus moments when they felt the urge to sing a song that was just out of their ability range
not everyone feels the degree o fhurt and emotional destruction from a relationship that ended badly.
For many, I can see the reasoning in needing another to reinforce their self worth and esteem.
Sadly, once that is established they come to realize/accept they must move on. get to dating again so they can find that "special someone". what scary is everyone being different, how does one determine if they themselves are ready to date or if someone who catches their attention is ready.
All kidding aside , a;ot would depend on what kind of trouble she was experiencing.
Sometimes when having lady friends we can unintentionally take advantage of the situation that is troubling them.
When we offer a shoulder to cry on, ears that listen and strong arms to fall into, these gifts of friendship we give openly and willingly can sometimes blurr and confuse the issues at hand, even for ourselves.
did the kissing and affectionate caresses start before or after alcohol was introduced?
was it a relationship that lasted over 2 or 3 years? , have you dated at all since the end of the last one ( dated the same woman more than 3 times)?
there used to be a formula I read somewhere where that was more of a guidline to determine if indeed someone was/could be on the rebound... just cannot recall what it was.
