is it preposterous to suggest that waging a war is morally correct but that acts of genocide within that war are repugnant?
What is the object of a war other than to impose and destroy all objections to that imposition?

Fascinating question, Esmeralda.

What the H-E-double hockey sticks is the world coming to, indeed: when even the ravings of an loon are cliché? It is intolerable enough that we must watch the same story lines over and over in the movies, but to now have the addle-headed ranting predictably is too much. Is there nothing we can rely on, anymore? “The world is ending?” “We are all…[Read more]

I’ve learned…. That I wish I could have told my Mom that I love her one more time before she passed away.

This one caught in my throat.

Thank you for sharing that.

“Thing 49,” to do before I die? Hmm. Think, think, think.

Bungee jumping; done that.

Play with my poo…check.

Have sex with a sheep. That was kind of nice in a weird way.

Gosh, but what to do for good old forty-nine?

Eureka! :idea: I’ll fall down and hit my head as hard as I can. :twisted:

Yes, I am new here, but I assure you I am not affiliated with NOLAF. :^o

Lovely lady:

ermmmmmmm when was your last rumpy-pumpy ?????

I never heard the expression rumpy-pumpy, and it made me laugh out loud. I always used to use boinking, but I like rumpy-pumpy better. :P Wait, it doesn’t mean pumping the rump, does it? :shock:

All questions of this teacher aside, I think it is more an indictment of the education system, then of one bigoted teacher. The entire system is antiquated; a throw-back to when most people worked in factories. School is a glorified baby-sitting service, a warehouse where we plop down our children for a goodly portion of their young lives. It…[Read more]

I didnt like Catherine Jenkins singing mesen dorma, I think its a man’s song. I dont think it suits a female voice, and I didnt get the hairs standing up on the back of my neck like I should.

Dissapointed with that.

It is most definitely a man’s aria, as it is written to be so in the opera. I agree with your assessment of her singing, as well.

Lots of people have ‘sacred cows’ that are beyond reproach.

With all those cows around, sounds like we need a barbeque. :P

I Hear an Army, which was quoted at the beginning of this thread, was put to music by Samuel Barber. There are a couple of youtube versions, but I don’t think they do the song, or poem, justice.

Apparently, in ancient Paedomarian, Niribu means “to glitter.” It was once believed that the inhabitants of Niribu were Hermaphrodites, but current intel shows this to be erroneous. At least, that is according to the second line of Alan Ginsburg’s poem “Neary Booze;” which alludes to the fact that Niribu was actually colonized my memebers of…[Read more]
