I accept your peace offering. Thanks for the invitation.
I respect your feelings regarding your choices. Most of my remarks were directed to problems across the country and media garbage, and the nastiness of women treating women the way they do. I also acknowledge that the men are doing it too. I just expected more from women.
I am just sick of the trash talk. I understand that people have choices and opinions, but lets be respectable.
There is so much trash being slung that the important issues are being on the back burning. I wish there was more talk about how they are going to fix things, not how are we going to trash someones reputation.
One thing is for sure, who ever makes President will have alot to answer for if they don't cut the mustard. I think at htis point, whoever gets the seat will strive to fix it. There is alot of pressure in that direction to fix this country. If they fall short, this county will have their head on the block.
we are not saying we cant talk about the candidates. We are talking about concentrating on important issues rather than stupid stuff that has no bearing.
Ok Sammie, I'm going to attempt to make peace with you and start over. Welcome to the forum.
As far as Sarah Palin is concerned, I don't care for her, but thats just a personal thing. I have never made comments on her hair etc, but I have made some sarcastic remarks about her when I felt someone defending her position as potencial VP on the sole fact she is a woman. There's alot of things about this woman I don't like, but I couldn't care less about her daughter being pregnant or her hair style (which I like) etc.
I would have liked to see Obama pick Hillary for VP, he would have this election wrapped in a bow. But I like Joe Biden too, so I'm ok with him.
peace
If you are saying that discussing the candidates is wrong I need to disagree. And I have never found any sort of woman bashing here.... as was said, many times here I havent even known the gender of the individual that I was chatting with....isnt that the ultimate in equality? My thanks to all of the ladies with which i do chat. Never really found a lemon here anytime......
No problem, I am not ashamed of anything but man's inhumanity to man.
Let me clarify something. I found this forum through an EAR, NOSE, & THROAT forum. I was not aware at the time there was a social forum where we could do this. Knowing that now and understanding the basis for a social forum and if Medhelp is fine with it then I have to support it.
I sent you a privart message out of respect to YOUR privacy. So accuse me all you want. You respnded to one of my posts and I felt I could be candid with you without the noise of others.
My comments were about bashing women. Not candidates. This is about other women talking about a decent human being and making fun of her all for the sake of chooseing sides. . So what if she has a daughter who is pregnant. How many of your children we conceived before a wedding. And even more, how many of your own children have conceived out of wedlock. There is such a hypocrisy and double standard here. Go ahead and cast your stone. All of you. That is what I am talking about. I am not for nor against her. You are talking about womens rights. I am talking about women being childish by making snide remarks about her hair and other stuff that has no place in the political spectrum. And leave her family alone. Leave her alone. Have some self-respect as another women. I don't if the candidates are male or female. Just stop acting childish.
This whole thing about women trashing Palin is really about Hillary and Dems being a poor sport and feeling as though they have been dissed, so in turn "LETS GET PALIN". Talk about displaced aggression.
Obama made a big mistake by not choosing Hillary. Imagine how powerful the two of them could have been together. Big mistake on his part. ANd I understand Hillary feeling dissed, but why are you all taking it out on Palin. OH,could it be , maybeeeeee, JEAOUSY.
Wow, I am really glad I found this forum. I feel better already.
watch the news. Pay attention. Read the posts...
Why addiction forum. I found it under Ear, Nose,and Throat comments.
Okay I got the point with the addiction social thing. So just for the record, I understand this is an addiction forum. So can we move on.
This is a social forum We can talk about anything we want. I notice your a member of a bunch of different medical forums and the "addiction social" side..why addiction? It's good to be able to talk to people about something other than addiction. And this women bashing stuff??What are you talking about?
I would love to stay and chat but Ward and the Beaver will be home soon so off i go to the kitchen.
I think the reason is that we are facing the most pivotal election in most of our histories. I never got the chance to vote for Harry Truman ..... but I am glad that he used the bomb to end WW2 .... this year may well be just as impacting as Give 'Em Hell Harry...........
dont forget the pumps...you HAVE to wear pumps!!!
whew girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl...NOT ME!!! i sooooooo enjoy being taken care of...lolol. the day i have to go to work is the day i will slit my wrists. i refuse to take off my diva crown :)
A womans work is never done. I dream of the day (only a dream), when woman can throw off their aprons, set aside their brooms and go out in the world of men and maybe work, (maybe in the saloons?). But in the mean time I need to tend to the 11 children I have, put on a dress and pearls and get dinner on the table before the husband comes home.
I can plow the fields, cause that's men's work you know.
if i have time after plowing the fields, collecting the eggs, and milking the cows!!!!!!!!!
I have socks that need darning, will you do mine too?
whew!!! think i'll just go bake some cookies and darn the socks :)
Good point. As a women myself, I wouldn't vote for a women just because she is a women. I must admit there have been times on this forum that I didn't know if I was talking to a man or a women and it really shouldn't make a difference.
Like the others said this is the "social side", we can talk about pretty much anything here, and we like it that way.
And what do you mean "especially woman"? Are we woman suppose to restrain ourselves and not verbalize our opinions? Sit back, shut up and have babies?
"happy just to have a woman on board"?????? Yeah, doesn't matter if she has brains or experiance.....as long as she has boobs, wears a skirt and is pretty. Oh goody, goody for us! We're making head-way, maybe soon we'll be able to vote!!!!
OMG
I think that this election cycle is important to our country. I for one have not really desided who to vote for, I don't care for either canidate. I think Mary and Savas have made some good points for Obama and Paul is very articulate (sp) and makes good counter points. I don't like the name calling and bashing either way and think it has stopped for the most part. I do not understand your women comments, are women to be held to a different standard than men?
lol Sounds like you deserve the ME time. Hope it works out.
well THE PLAN was that i would stay here about a year or two UNTIL he is transfered to san antonio, texas where i would go with him since it is so far away. but now...ft. benning is wigging a gut because he left and is already trying to put together a very nice incentive pkg to lure him back!!! just what i DONT want...to move back to the drama of my family...lolol. headquarters in washington, dc is also trying to get him and i WILL NOT move there...aaarrrggghhh. so it looks like my future is kind of on hold for a while...lolol. i just know that i do NOT want to move back to where i just left from!!!!!!!!!
after four kids and 23 years of marriage...I AM NOT HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THIS LONG DISTANCE THINGY...hehehehehehehe.
I thought that was your plan. Didn't you sell the other house ? Dig in your heels ! lol
i am still here...AND LOVING IT!!!!!! i'm getting very spoiled and FEAR the day i have to leave...lol. ya think my hubby will just let me stay til he retires in about 5 years??? hehehehe. i've been trying to drop hints...but he seems to be ignoring me about that!!
