CatWrites Been there and I just started playing too. It helps that we live together and so we're sitting right next to eachother while we're playing. On the other hand, I'm a gaming geek myself, so it works for us. Does he have any other interests or hobbies...

CatWrites Anyone actually read a newspaper anymore? I do. I read my local. I read the NY Times online (Yeah, I pay for the TimesSelect too), because it's MUCH cheaper than the paper subscription, though I prefer reading something I can hold in my hands. I don't...

How would you like the Primaries to end?

pallidyne @pallidyne (858) • United States 8 Jun 07

Personally I am very much hoping for McCain and Obama to get the nominations from their party. I say this in the hopes that there would be actual debates and perhaps a National dialogue on some real issues. It would be a...

CatWrites I'm hoping for an Edwards/Obama ticket on the Dem side. I don't think that Obama has enough experience to win the general election, but I think that between the two of them - Edwards and Obama - they'd really stand for something. Plus I prefer Edwards' health...

Ex-Cons : How should we treat them?

CatWrites @CatWrites (33) • United States 7 Feb 07

Parolees and even those who have completed their parole are often still treated like criminals. In some places they can never vote again. Is this fair? Ultimately, no matter what a person is convicted of, they end up serving a...

CatWrites Exactly. My fiance was convicted of a felony when he was 16. He finished his parole about six months after we started dating. As of right now, it's causing us serious issues just trying to find some place to live that isn't with his mother. I'm staggered by...

CatWrites Actually, I'm pretty sure that it's illegal for a government official to take bribes in this country as well. Not a capital crime, but a crime nonetheless. The problem isn't that it is or isn't a crime, the problem is that they're so rarely investigated or...

CatWrites I'd definetly like to see a source for this. That said. It will never happen. America has a long standing record of ignoring the UN when it inconviences us, why on earth would we stop now?

Is Poetry a Lost Art?

SummerRain1 @SummerRain1 (8) • United States 5 Jun 07

A few years back, I was talking with someone about my plans to publish a volume of poetry. He laughed and told me there's no money to be made in poetry. He said I was wasting my time. Well, I am about to publish a volume of...

CatWrites I actually majored in poetry writing in college (yup, I spent 35 grand a year to get that piece of paper...) and I certainly got a lot of flak about it. I think the best advice I got was from my advisor, also a poet, when we were in our final seminar,...

Have you been paying attention to Hillary in the news?

estherlou @estherlou (5015) • United States 7 Jun 07

It's hard to keep up with everything, but I try to read or at least skim articles about the presidential candidates. Hillary is certainly changing her tune somewhat. She is now saying that her faith and dependence on God was what...

The FDA & Republicans do it AGAIN

MyoanBiz @MyoanBiz (140) • United States 7 Jun 07

Republican senators, probably in the pockets of GlaxoSmithKline, blasted the scientist that was testifying before a committee that the diabetes type 2 medicine known as Avandia should have stronger warnings on the label. As long...

CatWrites Much like laws preventing us from importing cheaper drugs from other countries really only benefits Big Pharm and no one else. We only support globalization when it allows big corporations to export labor and lower THEIR costs. When it's about making sure...

CatWrites The only time that Nationalism and Religion become issues is when extremists rise up and make trouble in the name of their specific, closed-minded ideologies. Unforutnetly, moderation is a hard sell.

CatWrites Calling George Bush the devil was a blatant political ploy to boost his popularity by taking advantage of Bush's unpopularity. How good a leader he actually is is slightly harder to clearly define, however, because he has a shady record in some areas, but...

While the American government has been quick to rant and rave about the war on terror, it hasn't asked a whole lot of sacrifice from the citizens, except to shop and basically just go along with whatever they do in the name of...

CatWrites Yes, it has. If I want to research an article on Islam or terrorism and I visit websites of terrorists as part of my website, I will be put on a watch list. If someone with my same name, or someone who's just been using my same name, is put on a no-fly...
