Like the celebs who take their private jet to protest against drilling :) I would say that Native Americans are environmentalits and they hunt. Ideology gets in the way of reality all the time.

Reply to April Fool's Day is Tomorrow in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I think life itself is pranking me today. Thought your 3yr old would go to sleep last night?...April Fools! Thought you'd get up on time to get your 13yr old off to school?...April Fools! I did hear a hilarious April Fools ad on the radio this morning. It was for Early Life Cosmetics. It started by talking about how we know longer have to worry about having a baby that isn't as pretty as we hoped. Then there was a mom talking about how her 3yr old h

April Fool's Day is Tomorrow in Blogging JoeUser Forums

So, on April Fool's Day do you do any fooling or receive any? What's your favorite prank? The only one that really comes to mind for me is when kids took apart a car and reassembled it inside the school. On a lesser scale, they picked my car up and moved it so I freaked out when it wasn't where I had parked it. I like silly pranks but don't like the ones that really freak people out and either make them upset or mad. I think it's especially funny when something

Reply to Obesity in America, how will we change? in Diet JoeUser Forums

there are all sorts of coverages for drug rehab and mental health. Why not have coverage for physical training and nutritional education? I think a lot of people have no idea what hey are putting in their bodies and if they do they don't know what it does to their body. Most have heard that High Fructose Corn Syrup is bad (except for according to corn growers) and that hydrogenated oils are bad but how many know what exactly they are and why they are bad?

[quote]Nowadays even getting medical advice TO lose weight is becoming a rarity. Most folks will be given blood pressure pills and a whole host of nice expensive pharmaceuticals rather than be told to "eat less and walk more".... good advice but unfortunately it's not very profitable is it?[/quote] Excellent point!

Obesity in America, how will we change? in Diet JoeUser Forums

I've been watching Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution and it really points out some major issues we need to address as a country. How do the kids have a chance when all of the adults in their lives are overweight? Parents, teachers, nurses, doctors...right on up to our Surgeon General are overweight if not right out obese! As a parent, I know that kids learn what they live. If they see their parents playing sports, they're going to want to play sports. If they see

Reply to Michigan rocks in Blogging JoeUser Forums

The rear hoof is in the grass. What kind of shadowing should it be casting? I showed my 13yr old son the series of pictures because he's cynical and well versed at Photoshop too and he thought the same thing about that one picture but then saw the other pictrures in the series and had second thoughts. I see a lot of nature pictures that look unreal but know for a fact they're real. People are just so used to fake pictures these days that they now instantly dismiss

It was only one of a series of pictures taken of the encounter so I really don't think it was Photoshopped.

Reply to Don't Talk Religion At Garage Sales in Blogging Stardock Forums

People want to pick and choose when it comes to the Bible. They want to mold the church to their own sensibilities rather than what scripture dictates. That's why there are so many non-denominational churches now. There is a lot of confusion over tolerance vs acceptance. I have a lot of tolerance for the lifestyles of others...I just don't have to accept it as right. I don't know how many times I've been approached to join "churches" that are described as

Reply to Where Is Starbucks? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Utemia, I like a lot of different kinds of coffee but I must say, the best coffee I've ever had was in Germany. I like Starbucks Mochas but don't like their coffee as a stand alone brew. I drove my hubby crazy when we were in NYC one time and I kept saying "Oh look, a Starbucks!" Every couple of minutes....they were everywhere! Every corner we turned had one!

I can't help myself but add this, if what is happening with H1N1 vaccine happened under Bush, there would be cries of racism drowning out everything else going on! He'd be blamed for keeping it from poor African Americans and giving it to rich bank CEOs (which is happening). Because it's Obama, it's just accepted that he's doing everything he can but the manufacturers just aren't producing enough fast enough. If it had been under Bush, it would be some big conspiracy!&n

Reply to Running out of awards to give to Barack Obama in International JoeUser Forums

You can't feed your family on prestige and publicity AJ. You sound like a very young, inexperienced person to me. Sure, it would be "cool" to have the Olympics in Chicago but it doesn't mean it would be a good thing for the city or state. That whole reality of "someone has to pay for the cool stuff" becomes a problem. Have you lived in a communist country?

Reply to Running out of awards to give to Barack Obama in International JoeUser Forums

Thank you KFC for pointing out that he was nominated mere days after becoming President. What had he done toward any of the stipulations for meriting the award? As for the prize losing value because it was given to someone who hasn't actually done anything...duh! The only ones being political here are the ones on the award panel. They might as well be honest and call it the "Thank God he's Not Bush" award. There have been years where noone merited the award and

Totally outrageous! It would be perfectly legal for you to drop your kids off with their 92yr old half deaf half blind grandparent though. They aren't even paying her so why is it the government's concern?!

Reply to One Question for ObamaCare in Politics JoeUser Forums

Cute snarky reply Champas. Say, what are the population numbers of said countries compared to that of the US? And you know what? I don't want to live in any of those countries. I like the way we do things here. Our UHC wouldn't be just like that of any other country either. I don't want to be taxed the crap out of to support everyone else.

Reply #6 was actually me not Daiwa. I don't care how close an exact count they get. If you look at the pictures and don't think "that's a lot of Americans", you're an idiot. I didn't hear about an "riot" behavior. I didn't hear about any vandalism or gun wielding. So why can't people be respectful of a peaceful show of concern by a large number of tax paying American citizens?
