My Thoughts on Michael Douglas and Michael Vick
Pistolpete: I agree with most of what you said, except I do not believe that hunters have respect for animals. If they did,they wouldn't be shooting them.— August 18, 2009 2:13 a.m.
Babies, Breast Feeding, and More
I hate breastfeeding in public. It's classless and I would have said tasteless, but I can just imagine the jokes. It is not something I care to be around. I would have said that breastfeeding Barbies are no big deal,until Josh reminded me that some little girls do have brothers--bad idea! I love Walmart. It's right next to Costco, so it's a twofer. Except it does piss me off when I'm the only customer in the store who speaks English. BTW ladies, there's a guy on Craigslist who's always looking for a soothing, pacifying adult breastfeeding relationship, in case you're interested.— August 18, 2009 2:02 a.m.
Famous Faces in the News -- Dylan, Pitino, Phelps, George Michael
I'm in favor of smoking bans. Why should some weak idiot that makes bad decisions for himself make bad decisions for me? I belong to a liberal church that believes in GLBT clergy and their civil rights in general. I have no desire to tell other people what to do in their own bedrooms. What business is that of mine? I can't believe the fools who say that gay marriage affects their religion. That's BS. Just believe and live the way you want to live and stop trying to tell other people what to do.— August 18, 2009 1:43 a.m.
Famous Faces in the News -- Dylan, Pitino, Phelps, George Michael
Excuse me, Rickey.I couldn't careless about who athletes screw on the kitchen table,as long as it isn't my kitchen table or my daughter. Killing animals is a different story. Human beings have to speak up on behalf of animals because they have no voice. They can't speak for themselves. For the record, I quit the Mormon church over the Prop 8 issue. Lost practically all my friends when I appeared on the KUSI News marching with gays as a former Mormon for Gays. We don't need moral judgments,but we do need order and to not promote self-destructive behavior that ruins people's lives.— August 17, 2009 8:31 p.m.
The drinking problem in Balboa Park after dark
Sadly, it sounds like Escondido. My parents movedhere in 1971,because OCwas going to Hell. My daughter recently met a sailor from Bakersfield, stationed in Hawaii and he said,"You're from Esco? I won't even drive through the town!" One night, a bum got between my car and me and demanded money. I ran passed him, unlocked the car door and letmy two big dogs take car of the problem. Recently, I had to contact Big Lots and tell management that a bum camps out beside the door daily and I couldn't tolerate it. She's got a disgusting cart full of trash that she pushes around. Now she hangs at Wendy's and McDonald's. They are disgusting. Many bipolar people aren't drunk or dirty or having sex on sidewalks. That's no excuse. I'm in favor of labor camps. Make them pay for disgusting the rest of us.— August 17, 2009 3:45 p.m.
My Thoughts on Michael Douglas and Michael Vick
I thought Robert Downey was on drugs. I was not aware he got a second chance because he murdered somebody. And like it or not, kids do look up to athletes. And in our geedy, anything-goes society, people don't take a stand on anything. We prefer to sit on our fat, lazy asses in front of American Idol with a bucket of KFC, rather than demand justice. I don't like football, but if I did, Neither Hell nor high water could get me to give a quarter to support it if Michael Vick werein the NFL. You've got to get them in the pocket book. And I do think eating bacon is equal to killing dogs. That's why I'm a vegetarian.— August 17, 2009 11:04 a.m.
Giving to Charity -- The Blood Bank Edition
Oh yes, Arthur was classy. What happened to him made me sick. We used to see him at the LaCosta Resort. He was a very nice man. At one time, AIDS was thought to spread throughout the homosexual community--at least for the males. If that's true, they absolutely should ask the question--if gay men are at higher risk.— August 16, 2009 12:27 a.m.
My Thoughts on Michael Douglas and Michael Vick
I agree with Kriste. Athletes are role models and should not be allowed in the spotlight if their behavior does not measure up. How can kids learn to stay out of trouble if those they look up to can commit crimes and still be allowed to take a position of privilege?— August 14, 2009 9:58 p.m.
Russian Statue vs. Denver Bear
"I think the last thing going through Donna's mind (other than a bear paw)was anger." I think what was going on in Donna's mind was "Oh s***!"— August 14, 2009 5:06 p.m.
My Thoughts on Michael Douglas and Michael Vick
Michael Vick didn't give his dogs a second chance, I don't know why he should get one. I hope his team loses.— August 14, 2009 5 p.m.
