Also - you know you can link to bloggers specific home pages, right ?? For example, mine is: http://poetphilosopher.joeuser.com/ and - you can link straight to the forums page: https://www.joeuser.com/forums.asp and of course you can link to a particular topic: https://www.joeuser.com/forums.asp?MID=9 I really don't like the front door cuz it has "featured articles" - which I suppose for the time be

Reply to Gays: What's in a Name? in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

The thing I STILL don't understand is... why do heteros care whether gays can marry? Where is the infringement upon rights by granting rights to another? I just don't GET the argument. Since when does any group get EXCLUSIVE rights to define what a term means? Imagine if white males held the term "vote" sacred back 80 years ago... "Yes, you women folk can have this other thing that we're going to call 'balloting', because voting refers to a white male casting his preference for a candid

Reply to Losing Your Virginity in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

hmmm. my first time was unforgettable, but of course I am a guy so it doesn't count ;) the girl was a lot more experienced and basically forced herself on me (was tired of waiting). How romantic, eh ? I had a girlfriend who lost her virginity to me - it wasn't the best the first time, but we had a great time for the rest of the school year afterwards (too great actually) - but it was obvious she was ready and it was planned out to some extent. I wonder how common your experinc

Reply to Family and Why it Sucks in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

I sometimes wonder if you are truely obligated to love your family more through all the ups and downs than you would someone else. Is blood so strong? What if you were adopted, would you feel the same obligation to your blood family ? If not, then is it simply living with them while you are growing up - going thru the same things with them ? If that is the case, well surely you can be a lot closer to someone other than your sister. If it is truely dest

Too many responses coming at one TIME! imajinit: You could change your interests every 10 or 20 years. If you really got bored you could do those things that people never have time to do or only dream about - move to the Carribean, paint and scuba dive for ten years. Spend two or three decades researching cancer. Spend a couple decades helping rebuild a 3rd world country. Or spend 50 years building up an international company - that should be enough.

A Pacifist Dictionary in Politics JoeUser Forums

Someone recently said to me: My pacifism stops when someone declares war on me. She is apparently a pacifist only until the condition that actually calls for pacifism arises. She wants to know how we can protect ourselves if we don’t return violence for violence. She wants to know what we should do. No wonder she is at a loss. The human race has almost no experience with lasting peace or its strategies. Our default has always been war. When at risk, we want to destroy the enemy that has

Oh yeah another thing I wanted to say but I don't have the patience to blog it on my own.. Do you think the "album format" that has come about in the last 30 years is going to die as an art form ? Will we go back to singles like the 50s ? Maybe four song EPs? Something entirely different ?

Reply to The state of music? in Music JoeUser Forums

Music shouldn't be a competition and complex doesn't equal good. People like music because it evokes feelings in them, so it's value should be based on the strength of the feelings it evokes. Different music pulls different strings in people. Heck even a stupid repetetive song can be nostaligic - Steal My Sunshine - reminds me of a certain summer. Stupid song. There you go. That said - My God what is up with "manufactured music"?? I don't thin
