• (3 votes) 60 years ago, 6 million Jews were brutally murdered by Germany and its people out of hate.
  

  And there’s something else. This post was started with the statement that, “60 years ago, 6 million Jews were brutally murdered .” I’ve watched nearly every Holocaust documentary available in the English language. I’ve visted the Holocaust museum and placed my hands on the train that took countless souls from their homes and on to the camps of Auswitch, Dachau, and Triblina. I’ve heard the stories of survivors, first hand. I’ve know many of their children and counted among my dearest friends and family.
  
  In all of this experience, I can tell you one thing unequbivacabaly - far more than 6 million lives were destroyed in that event. Of those that survived, they had no property or places to life. Their relatives were murdered and their children would grow up never having known their parents or grandparents. Their lives communities shattered, their lives irrevocably altered, how many Jews could go on even under the best of circumstances. In college, my french teacher kept a fading portrait on the wall in his study. When asked about it, he responded that it was his grandfather. They had never meet, as he had been killed in Auswitch during the war. That single picture of him is all that remains proving his existence to a young man who, I have no doubt, would have loved him very deeply.
  
  So don’t lecture to me about the value of history and culture, Roj. My grandfather served for [strong]5 years[/strong] liberating the shores of Africa, Italy, and southern Germany and he did it for good reason. Because even though we know that our culture may be a few hundred years removed from it’s roots, our relatives, however, distant still walk on those shores. And for so long as there are real Americas left in this world, they will always have the privilege of walking free.

• (3 votes) All things are possible through God, once again it has been proven to me beyond a reasonable doubt as much as I try deny it.
  

  I’ve known a few hospice workers in my time and they will likely all tell you that, confronted with their own mortality, even the most devout of atheists will begin to pray to something. This does not suggest that God exists; rather, that the concept of a higher power can have an extraordinary value for all humans at one time or another. If you think this relates only to cancer patients and the elderly, I would ask you to find me a recovering drunk and question weather they believed that their sobriety was a gift, a choice, or both. I suspect that even amidst their resigned self-annihilation, they found something worthwhile to believe in.

• (3 votes) RE: Is this world all about homosexuals?
  

  Actually, I DO have proof to back up my argument (or rather Muzi’s argument, which I happen share).
  
  Since the early 90’s, many studies have been done demonstrating a genetic predisposition for homosexuality. Researchers named Bailey and Pillard, for example, did a study among sets of twins and found that there is a 52% concordance of homosexuality in monozygotic (identical) twins, 22% for dizygotic (fraternal) twins, and only 11% among adoptive brothers of homosexual men. Therefore, based on this evidence, I submit that if homosexuality was a choice (i.e. a learned behavior), the adopted children would have an equally high incidence of homosexuality, which they clearly do not. Moreover, there is a definitive link between one’s DNA and their sexuality.
  
  Did you, Goofy, choose your DNA? Did you choose to be male or female? Did you choose to have brown hair or blue eyes? Did you choose a predisposition toward cancer or heart disease? All these traits things have also been mapped to one’s genes, and I highly doubt that anyone would suggest they were choices.
  
  Goofy, what I really take issue with is the lack of evidence - or even compelling argumentation - that you have provided in any of your posts. I have already established that gay people do not and can not have sex in public, nor do they display any more or less nudity than straight people, and yet you persist in repeating these obviously faulty points as “fact”. If you are still insistent about this “pushy agenda”, allow me to point you to any adult book store or website, whose heterosexual material will undoubtedly overshadow their gay content by 10 to 1. Or you can take a look at any supermarket checkout line in North America and find their isles filled exclusively with magazines whose cover girls are obviously designed to appeal to straight men and women. I have yet to see anything remotely homoerotic at the lines of the local Pick ‘N Save (except perhaps Men’s Health.) So once again, where is your damning evidence?

• (2 votes) Online dating help please!
  

  I’m not sure you’re very good at communicating with e-mails either. We’ve shared a lot, Max, and I sense that you are the type of person who does better when she’s got something tangible in front of her. Fortunately, brilliant blokes like myself are usually able to read between the lines but let’s face it - how many of me are there in the world? OK, ego trips aside, I’m sure you have read my feelings regarding online relationships somewhere on this site. It’s not that it *can’t* work out in the real world, but it *can’t* work out unless it enters the real world - preferably sooner than later. Fortunately, I can save my usual spiel on the nuances of online relationships, owing to the fact that it’s you. You’re about as well grounded as they come around here, Max, which is probably why this post didn’t begin like”OMG, I just met my SOULMATE on eHarmony! How should I tell him that he’s destined to be mine???” SHE tells him in fifth period, right after lunch. YOU, on the other hand, tell this guy that you are in dire need of coffee prior to the start of school on the 25th of August (am I close?) and see if you two can work something out. Don’t let another Instant Message playfully flop, spring, pitch, or slide its way coyly onto your screen until you’ve got his name written on the next page of your fluffily pink address book.
  
  I don’t want you to wait until you are settled. I want you to put that stuff on HoLD! - just for an hour - and meet with this guy. You will *instantly* have a gameplan that will illuminate all of the other question marks floating around cyberspace. If you don’t…well I shan’t like to think of what might happen then.
  
  In any event. Call him. Call him now! More than any other metaphor, Life is what you make it. So make it count.

• (2 votes) My parents are fighting a lot right now.
  

  Dear lord, kiddo, you’ve got the entire world’s burdons on your shoulders. You can’t be a perfect child and, as your parents are demonstrating, the certainly can’t be perfect themselves. Your Mum will get over her “embarressment” as soon as you prove to her that you’ve come into your own - right around your junior year of college, if it all works out that way. For the present, she probably has very mixed emotions about her daughter growing up, aside from the fact that she’s arguing with her husband. Your Mom is an adult and she is responsible for HER OWN happiness. She chose your step-dad and, for better or worse, it is her task to make the relationship work. It is your task to be a kid and focus on growing up, finishing high school, finding a career, etc. Don’t stress too much about the world’s problems. As my Mom says, you can’t change the world, you can just tidy up your corner.
  
  PS. My cousin (who’s 14) has a small nose piercing and I think it’s lovely. Don’t let these prudes get you down.
  
  And stay away from the drugs. That only leads to retardedness, regret, and rehab. When I was 17, my uncle, who did his share of boozing, told me that for every live Uncle John, there are at least three dead Uncle Johns. I never forgot that. Keep it in mind the next time you decide to toke up.

  Yes. Put it in neutral and steer backwards. On a level plane, one guy can push it.

• Are Brits generally supposed to sing-a-long to God Save The Queen’?
  

  I’ve been out front of Buckingham Palace. The Queen is surrounded by 10 foot high fences, topped with barbed wire and patrolled by guards with machine guns. That is one pretty safe Queen. Were that the rest of Britain could be so well protected.

• I need help with my sex life.
  

  Orgasmic function in females doesn’t always come “online” until your early 20’s, so you might just be totally normal. Your body might not be ready for it now, but as you get older and produce more testosterone (the hormone responsible for sex drive, that might change a bit.
  
  As for you and your boyfriend, here’s the page right outta Dr. Drew’s orgasm faking advice. You don’t tell your boyfriend, but *suddenly* the orgasms magically stop. But how could this be? You’re a girl. That happens sometimes - he doesn’t need to know why, just what he should to to fix it. THEN, you can suggest that perhaps a new approach is needed to get everything working again. That gives you a prime opportunity to show him what you like/don’t like and let things progress from there. Seeing as how he’s your first sexual partner, you’re going to have to coach him a lot. He doesn’t know how girls work and most boys think that a vagina is simply an inside out penis. Not so, so give him pointers and help him learn how to be a more diligent partner.

• Thrilled with McCain’s VP Choice of Gov.
  

  [quote DaNi♠HaTes♠You][quote Fizz]I always thought you were a big fan of Satan…roflI’m not going to try to convince you to vote for McCain though I disagree with you about him and Palin, but I really wish you’d take a closer look at Obama.[/quote]
  
  lol me neither, but i’ve made my decision and it totally stands if mccain wins he will send gays to a island, and ban abortion, and eat the fetuses[/quote]
  
  If he bans abortion, there won’t be any fetuses.
  
  [quote Fizz]It is simply not true that McCain is anything like Bush, no matter how hard the other side tries to link them. They do have similar tax plans, but the problem in our country right now isn’t the tax code, it’s the bloated spending, that McCain wants to stop. Obama’s economic plan calls for more spending and creating MORE government, it’s a fantasy plan because he doesn’t allow for anyway to pay for these proposed Government programs, since he claims that he is going to reduce taxes and that he is going to tax big business and the wealthy more. That would cripple our economy even more. Common sense will tell you if you tax business’ more they will raise prices and that will hurt lower income families.[/quote]
  
  Republicans touting of less government is simply just a rouse to eliminate programs than can then be outsourced to private companies. This has been their stance for the majority of the 20th century, no matter how outmoded. As I wrote on another post, it is simply a matter of time before everyone goes running for the democratic playbook and engineers a government bailout. It happened with social security, the creation of the FDIC, medicare, and this week’s 700 billion loan. These are all “socialist” programs, which Republicans - like John McCain and Sarah Palin - touted as wasteful and unnecessary when the economy was surging. Moreover, the economic policies of both George W. Bush and Senator McCain have ushered in an era where budget deficits are seemingly a good thing. If we hadn’t cut taxes in the first place, we wouldn’t need to engineer enormous loans, which we must then back pay and force us into debt even further. The policies put in place during the last 8 years have been disastrous and highly irresponsible and, during a week like this one, I find it difficult to argue any other point.
