Mom's Fight to Hang Her Laundry Outside Gets Dirty {ParentDish}

Mar 18th 2010 6:43PM Jesse - you obviously flunked third grade reading. When she moved in there was no rule about clotheslines. Now, after she has moved in, the rule has changed... I agree the owners who were there before the rle changed should be grandfathered in... ex post facto and all that, it can't be retroactive....

'Bad Romance' Floors Lady Gaga in New Zealand {Popeater}

Mar 16th 2010 4:52PM It's called being a performer. You're under 120 degree floodlights for two to three hours, spending calories (Bob Marley would have an inch of sweat in each shoe when he came off stage, just from exterion), you're in a costume, dancing and singing, the schedule is totally whacked out, in a different arena every night, traveling... if you got off your lard-butt and tried to do it, you'd pass out too... alot of performers have... usually from dehydration

5 Questions for: Anthony Bourdain {Slashfood}

Mar 16th 2010 1:19PM Agreed, Leroy. It is a choice you make, so you live with yours, I live with mine. Yes, your stomach DOES stop making the enzymes to digest meat, this is true. Yes it does send the person into severe pain and other unwanted miseries.

Remember this is Tony's take on it... he eats half-raw dead animals... let him suffer

5 Questions for: Anthony Bourdain {Slashfood}

Mar 16th 2010 1:13PM Norma, a little touchy aren't we? I'm a vegetarian by choice, so you're preaching to the choir. I SAID, the same way my kids do not stand up in a restaurant and say; "I am now going to consume fresh-killed slabs of animal products - I will eat them half-raw and slathered with steak sauce!" My kids should also not have to litsen to someone give a dissertation on the rights or wrongs of meat consumption.

If you want to sit and eat your tofu-ti-burger, fine, I too love MorningStar Farms, but why are you subjecting others to the noise pollution?

5 Questions for: Anthony Bourdain {Slashfood}

Mar 16th 2010 9:56AM I love both Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, and Andrew Zimmern: Bizarre Foods. They both take you into kitchens that you might never see, and open a whole new world, that you may never get to visit. I'm an ovo-lacto vegetarian, but my kids are pure carnivores, and I don't make a big deal about it. I CHOOSE not to eat meat. However when I was in Guatemala visiting my in-laws, they butchered a howler monkey.

I'm not that crazy about bush-meat, but I understood that they get NO MEAT, due to finances and this was a true luxury to even have it. We had been eating tortillas and beans for two weeks - and that was fine, that was all there was.

My M-I-L and grandma - in - law handled the preparation since I had no clue what to do, and it was absolutely delicious,, though I don't know if a place called Simians On Stick opened up, that I would be the first in line.

If you have ethical or religious reasons for not eating meat, fine, but keep quiet. We don't need the PETA dissertation, and you don't know what other vegetarians you might be offending with your anti-meat diatribe

Inner City School Gets 100% of Its Black Men in to College {BV Black Spin}

Mar 13th 2010 12:26AM First, if you really READ the article, this is a PUBLIC school. They have a top-notch administrator.

Second, there were five seniors on FOX news this morning, and one young man has been accepted to TWELVE different universities.

I wish every public school had iron-clad no nonsense administrators - then our youths could amount to something other than "babies mamas on government cheese" and "convicted felons". This is not a racist statement so dont' jump on me. In the area I live in 1 in 5 girls is a single mother by the age of 18, boys have had their first brush with the law before the age of 12.

Our children are dying before our eyes, spiritually first, then physically as they get drawn into the social miasma of "keeping up with their friends", as if there is some race to the cemetery.

James Brown's Body Allegedly Missing {Spinner}

Mar 12th 2010 8:57PM Tex - maybe in Texas it is awkward phraseology... but it's just like "gone crazy", "gone away"...

When Your Child Is the Bully {ParentDish}

Mar 12th 2010 12:27PM Debby - what are you talking about? My 9 year old has FIVE BROTHERS, not five "brothers".

WHO is the racist? Get over yourself.

When Your Child Is the Bully {ParentDish}

Mar 12th 2010 12:21PM I have six boys, and while ALL of them will stand up for themselves - none of them are bullies (I have one older son who plays semi-pro football, and even HE isn't a bully).

My youngest, at the age of 9, suddenly wanted to stay home, and not go to school - he tried everything, headaches, leg pain, blurry vision, stomach ache... ad nauseam. I took him to the doctor and had everything checked out. No illnesses or diseases.

THen one doctor tagged it "school-itis", since he is already in AP courses in fourth grade (doing 6th grade work). He was being picked on. When I faced off with the parents (also believing they are part of that 79%, probably) they couldn't believe that their child was picking on ANYONE. As the boys sat there (with us in plain-view) the one reached over and "plucked" my son, the other one pushed him, and before it turned into a knock-down-drag-out fight, we got them separated.

Getting picked on by older brothers is one thing, bullying - whether intentional or mean-spirited or not, can't be tolerated. I have gotten in fist fights, but I was provoked. I never took out any "meanness" on anyone who didn't thump me first. Strangely enough, I was never bullied. I never picked on anyone, and no one (other than way bigger kids) picked on me.
