Now what makes you think Elisabeth would do that???  Roll eyes

 

ummm....maybe this?

 

"alameda, we are talking about a state where it is ok to shoot a human intruder on your property!  I am fairly sure shooting a deer out of season would go pretty much unnoticed! "

 

or this....

"how to know you are in shopping in Texas"

as far as I know no bear species other than polar bears eats humans although they can attack and kill you. wolves on the other hand can eat humans in winter when they can`t find anything else. I think I wouldn`t taste so good. Big smile

 

Actually, that is not true, bears will eat anything if they are hungry and the item in question is available.  I guess you have not heard of the sad case of Timothy Treadwell and his companion who were both killed and partialy devoured.

 

Wolves are an interesting creature, they have been known to nurture and protect humans. Rome is named after a wolf...Romulus....

 

Humans will eat other humans if they are hungry and the other human is available...ever heard of the Donner party?...........or the Uruguayan rugby team?

 Well, even though I hate Tami´s "christian" comments/generalisations, I see no racism in his comment and in fact what he says is true - racism and nazism are growing in popularity at an alarming rate in europe

 

In addition, you may be offended at being called "Christian" as a country/state, but the fact is, whether or not you are personally religious, we ARE christian countries (you personally happen to live in a country extremely influenced by catholicism) and the people who feel so offended by being called so seem to have no hesitation in calling others "muslim countries"...

 

Hmmm...interesting thread. Roswitha does it again.. Wink

 

I do think it is interesting to look at this:

 

Angela Dorothea Merkel born Angela Dorothea Kasner, 17 July 1954) is the current Chancellor of Germany. Merkel, elected to the German Parliament from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, has been the chairwoman of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) since 10 April 2000, and Chairwoman of the CDU-CSU parliamentary party group from 2002 to 2005. She leads a grand coalition with the Christian Social Union (CSU), its Bavarian sister party, and the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), formed after the 2005 federal election on 22 November 2005.

 

I am not in any way indicating anything other than the fact that the term Christian figures prominantly, but could one imagine the furor that would ensue if the word Islamic were inserted where Christian now is?

As for belly buttons, someone has to cut the cord to create a belly button in the first place <img src='/static/images/smileys//lol.gif' alt='lol'> (fast)

 

True....but.....because of the underlying structure the abdominal area, the area is concave at the point where the navel would be. ............not exactly a belly button (also in more polite society known as a navel or umbilicus)....but an indentation.....and a start...Neutral

It´s interesting when looking at the H´s reason for leaving, it´s listed as: Users personal reasons

 

Everyone else who left by their own accord has a simple: Users request

It obvious everyone has their own personal reasons for leaving...but what´s up with the special verbage?

Dear Nifrity,

She is 97 years old and homeless...........

full story....

 

"......Bessie spent her young adulthood in Northern California and worked as a packer for the National Biscuit Co. until she was in her 60s. She gave birth to 11 children, eight of whom are still living. She remains in contact only with Charlie and Larry, who were both born in San Francisco, grew up in Santa Rosa and have high school educations.

Their father, who had worked in San Francisco-area shipyards and as a Hollywood stunt driver, died in 1966. In all, Bessie has outlived three husbands. Charlie has been married four times, and Larry was briefly married once. Neither has children.

Charlie worked in construction and as a painter before becoming disabled by degenerative arthritis. Larry was a cook before compressed discs in the back and a damaged neck nerve put an end to it. Twenty-six years ago, he began working as a full-time caregiver for his mother through the state´s In-Home Supportive Services program.

That ended about four years ago, when the owner of a Palm Springs home where they lived had to sell the place. At the same time, the state dropped Larry and his mother from the support program,...................."

 

What about those other children? Why don´t they help....? What have we become that a mother of 11 has to live like this?

Quoting _AE_

I know many of you are still feeling the pain and shock at the untimely departure of thehairy.  Many wanted to pay tributes to him and therefore, after thousands of requests, I have opened this book of condolence.

 

Please write your special thoughts/memories here and perhaps, by sharing, the pain and tears may be lessened in our collective grief

 

What the H is gone????

 

......I checked and saw he in fact deleted himself.....Sigh maybe we will have more peace now....

All that moaning, groaning and ranating was tedious....not fun....Rant

 

"fun can obviouly change behaviour for the better...."  The H needs to learn the fun theory..........
