Trust Me... I UNDERSTAND.... but listen... I don't always explain myself very well.... & have my share of bad days.
This Stuff Is Some Roller Coaster Ride Ehh!
I can be down one day, & up the next, or feel like I am loosing my mind the next!
I'm glad you are feeling better!
I am Too Now!
Hope It Last... LoL
Hang In There!
;)
HI Vicki. I feel better now and understand what you said/did. Thanks.
Hi... Yes & No.......
Yes I made the comment about Cruise.... but in my rage I guess that got misinterpeted...... or I didn't get it to come out right.....
What I was referring to was two things...
1) Wasn't he married to Nichole Kidman (Humm, they both seem to be pissing alot of people off lately) I think he's a **** myself
2) "I didn't write what was in red... I copied & pasted it from an article".... That remark somebody else made & it pissed me off too! .... so my point was... that THAT Sorry shleeept does something like that... & somebody else defends his ass & says that it's a pointless waste of time & that we have the option of just not watching the movie.
I say bull hockey.... opinions do count.... I had wondered about the legitability of on line petitions..... but as everyone said.... numbers DO get attention & do matter REGARDLESS of legality's.... Everyone on this board was RIGHT!!!!
Sorry for the confusion... it was me.... that's what happens when I don't explain myself!
Vicki
Aren't you the one who doesn't understand why the bruhaha over Tom Cruise and his incredibly dumb comments regarding post partum depression? If your feelings were hurt over the Bewitched comment, why don't you understand someone being upset about TC saying psychiatry is hogwash and there is no such thing as a chemical inbalance. His comments about Brooke Shields were horrific and his interview with Matt Lauer was embarrassing to watch. Tht man is a moron. But I guess since he wasn't harranguing about hep C, it is no problem. Yes?
ROFL!!!!! That moose needed a check up, thats all!!
Elizabeth Montgomery died of cancer years ago.

Snook - thanks for posting that. I had read about it from Chellski's earlier post and thought it was totally tastless. I am so glad to know the ALF has come out with a public statement, and that it is so appropriate. My personal opinion is that they would have used HIV but knew there would be big time ramifications so they picked HCV which they felt would fly under the radar.
HIV has the backing of Hollywood. For some stupid reason, that does make a big difference. If some actors or actresses would get behind HCV, I think there would be more awareness. I read on some earlier post about Willie Nelson making a public announcement about HCV. What is that all about? If anyone knows, I would be interested.
I know one thing -- Elizabeth Montomery (the original witch) would not have said such a thing!
Whatcha talking about girl? My comment was not directed at you, but at the comment in the movie. The ignorance is with "society" opinion and view of our disease.
You my dear are asked the exact same question I did before signing it. I wasn't sure, but I know "legally" you need signatures, documented and confirmed. But to raise a rukkus and demand some attention, I guess electronic sigs will work.
Hope alls well, and your holiday went well.
By the way, kudos to you for putting this info together!
this is one negative publicity no one needs. I would rather see none. Once an image is formed(1st impressions), it is nearly impossible to shake them off. You can't have a second first impression...
quit apologizing! it was a valid question and concern, one that I also was pondering.
good job!
Ivette,
I think he was actually referring to Nichole Kidmans comment,
but as I said originally... "I was almost afraid to ask".... So I was paranoid.
I know I am a stinker..... but I wasn't "being" one... LoL,
I only ask, that IF I should EVER offend anybody... Please let me know... so I can either correct it... or stand behind it.... cause it may not have been intentional! Ha!
:)
I too agree that this does give the disease exposure, but very negative. This disgraceful comment, just proves the pure ignorance, and lack of education of society. Proves once again the need for awareness..
Vicki, not sure. I know that you have to fill out alot of info for petition, but I always thought that you needed actual signatures. Hopefully Rifle can give us the legal.
Hey Ya'll....
Ahhckkk..
Was My Comment Disgraceful???
If So I am Sorry, it wasn't intended that way....
I did go & sign it yesterday regardless... because I agree with ya'll that is no laughing matter... & I appreciate michelle bringing it to my attention the other day.
I also agree with magnum 244%
& compared to some of those on-line petitions that I have signed in the past... that one actually looked official to me....
I know I am ignorant... but that's why I was asking.....
I just want my VOTE To Count...& I was actually thinking more along the lines of actually protesting, & organizing pickets at the theaters showing it....
That would get some attention, but guess we don't need any of our fellow heppers in jail.
Here is the additional commit I added to my entry...
**************************************************************
This Infuriates Me Beyond Belief! I have, & will continue to boycott this picture!
I have taken it a step further, printed out copies of this, & it is my intent to personally sign each & every one of them, then send them to all parties of necessary parties of my Local & State Government... whatever it takes!
I even indulge in the idea of actually having organized picketing of theaters playing this thoughtless, & insensitive movie.
I ASSURE YOU THIS IS NO LAUGHING MATTER!
**************************************************************
Okay ya'll to prove my ignorance... look what I wrote... How Embarrassing,,,
(to all parties of necessary parties) <~~~~~~ What the heck was that...... It certainly wasn't very brilliant, I hate screwing up wording on stuff... especially when I use my real name & e-mail address for the world to see..... {{{Blushing}}}
Anyway, I hope my post did not offend anyone... it seriously was not intended that way.... & I did print out copies & sign them.... my now question is, should I send them to at least my state rep???
:(
Sorry Again Ya'll... but maybe if my post proved ignorance, than surely I can't be the only one on earth that way... so maybe discussing it helped to enlighten others that might have been just as reluctant about signing electronic stuff like that for the same reasons???? Never Know... so maybe something good will come out of that too!!!!
:) Vic
I wondered the same thing also, as I understood that signatures and addresses are needed for them to be valid. They don't even accept P.O. Boxes!
maybe someone can enlighten us.
Snook--Big bravo to you and sincere thanks. Passing this along to EVERYONE I know! Judi :-)
thank you for posting the article and petition info - i saw the movie with my kids and cried after that scene...my kids just said you ok mom?? it was horribly cruel and i was sincerely offended...btw: no one laughed and on the whole the movie sucked big time...i've been boycotting and passing word around myself to anyone who'll listen - DONT GO SEE "BEWITCHED"
as rev says "bravo"
u da man!
<3michelle
These things should come as no surprise considering the collapse of morals and ethics in the world, and especially in this country. One positive thing about this though, it did bring attention to people that Hepatitis C is still around and needs to be addressed more.
When the Hepatitis C bug bites a senator, governor, state representative or congressman or his family members in the ass, then maybe more will be done to help us.
If our government can spend $6500 of our money for a toilet on Air Force One, they can certainly spend more on Hepatitis C research. We must rattle their senses, shake their memory alive and not let them forget that this epidemic is still around, even in Washington D.C.
Happy 4th...

I have a Stupid Question For Ya..../Ya'll.. or anyone that possibly knows????
Please Don't Take This Wrong... But I Am Serious & Just Want To Know. I am almost afraid to ask....
The True Legality Of Web Petitions?????
I used to sign every on-line web e-petitions I could get my hands on when I first got diagnosed...but then I discovered that suppossedly many of these petitions I had been signing were a COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME.....
Please Correct Me IF I Am Wrong....
It is my understanding that in order for these things to actually be legal... that they must contain, & log verifiable valid IP addresses, along with verifiable real full names, addresses, & e-mail addresses... & that a user must not in ANY WAY even be able to relog on under a different fictitious name, or change of an made up e-mail address to resubmit another signature.
I am just curious, because I quit signing stuff like that because what good was it "IF" it is a complete waste of my time, & isn't worth the legal weight of the paper its printed out on???
Does Anybody Know Anything About This, or am I misunderstanding this completely too????
I figure some of ya'll might know because of your political awareness on issues during election time, & I thought I read somewhere that rifleman was a lawyer.
Somebody tell me the legality of these things & how to verify that & I'll sign up for everyone I can find again!
Didn't ya'll ever read all that mombo jombo fictitious petition stuff with the dharma & secret swami???
Again Just Curious...
:) Vicki
I copied this from another board.. But the link at the bottom is great. There are many petitions to sign, one for the movie, but a few for veterans and HCV funding also.
HCV is growing because of silence, lets not feed it by contributing ours!!! Follow the link, and if you agree with the petitions, please sign and submit.
