  1. Only The Good Die Young - Billy Joel
  2. No. Creationism should be taught in Theology/Religious Studies class, as it is a matter of faith. Evolution should be taught in science classes as it's a matter of science. I have no problem with creationism being taught to students, provided it's taught in the right class.
  3. Eh, who cares. They can call themselves whatever they want and perform wherever they want. A band like The Who (or whatever you want to call them) is an act that the organizers and producers feel would cater to the largest demographic so that more people keep their butts in front of the TV to watch, rather than go to the kitchen to grab more chips and dip. It's the Super Bowl Halftime Show....not serious business.
  4. My sister liked her birthday present.
  5. His wife is 20? Trying to relive the good ol' days, huh?
  6. See, this is why I hate HOA's. There's a house a few down from ours that has a flagpole that is lit at night and no one says shit about it. I pass it every night taking our puppy for his last walk of the day. It's not a massive flagpole, but it's their front yard, with a small light at the base that points up. If you don't like the light, get heavier drapes.
  7. HOA's are evil, it doesn't matter what they're not letting you do. I am so, so, SO glad the subdivision we live in doesn't have one.
  8. Most people wouldn't. I can't speak for her, but I'd be comfortable in saying that a good majority of people look upon women beating the crap out of cheating men as "Good for her, he deserves it!" but if the guy finds out she's sleeping around and he beats her up, he's an abusing scumbag who should get locked up for life. If she attacked him, she should suffer the same penalty that he would if she cheated on him and he attacked her. You wanna talk about the double standard re: celebrities vs. regular folk, how about the double standard re: men vs.women? Here's an even better example: 35 year old teacher sleeps with 16 year old student. If the teacher is female and the student is male, the student gets a few pats on the back for "being a man" and the teacher gets a slap on the wrist. If the teacher is male and the student is female, the teacher gets put on a sex offender registry and the student gets counseling. Consent isn't even debated. It's always non-consensual when the teacher is male and consensual when the teacher is female.
  9. Coming Back To Life - Pink Floyd
  10. Don't You Want Me - Human League
  11. You still didn't answer my question - why do you think I should care how much money you spent on Nike products just because some golfer was hawking them?
  12. I don't care why you buy Nike products. I don't buy things because some famous celebrity is hawking them. I don't have that kind of money. Also, I don't care how much money you spent on said products. That figure is completely and totally irrelevant to me. If you buy things because some famous face/name is selling it and then they do something you don't like.....that's not my problem. I'd like to know why you think I should care. Also, right now.....according to what I've been listening to on the news (radio, not TV), all Tiger has been charged with is driving recklessly, which he did. It's something like a $200 fine. Now the police want a search warrant to go through his house.....it's getting ridiculous. I don't care why his face got scratched up, I don't care if he's cheating or if he isn't. I don't know him, his life does not affect mine. If he's cheating, that's between him and his wife. Not me, not you, not anyone else. If he's not cheating and his wife scratched up his face for no reason.....then she looks like an idiot and better find a creative way to apologize. And seeing as I'm 27 and Nicole Brown Simpson was murdered in 1994, I'm not too young to remember it. I watched the verdict come in with everyone else in my school. The two situations aren't comparable, though. OJ beat the fuck out of her for years and the police wouldn't do anything and then he killed her and the police fucked it up, the jury was brain dead and he got off. What does that have to do with Tiger Woods backing into a fire hydrant because his pissed off wife scratched up his face? Is he beating her on a daily basis? Has he consistently gotten away with various acts of violence against his family?
