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...

innercity51 @innercity51 (192) • United States 8 Jun 07

I watch both, tv and the internet. The internet is more up to the minute though. How do you get your news??

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...

In China it's death, in US it's business as usual.

For the complete story, visit this link. http://www.newstarget.com/021874.html Can you believe the sort of thing US government officials get away with now days? What would you like to see happen when the crooks get caught? I admit...

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...

EvanHunter @EvanHunter (4026) • United States 7 Jun 07

In a meeting at the united nations security counsel last week there has been a new bill introduced which could creat a Islamic state. Guess where? Right inside the United States. Because of the large population of Arab Americans...

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...

Do you think terrorists would stop targeting Americans if we left Iraq?

Stringbean @Stringbean (1273) • United States 7 Feb 07

I really think that the terrorists are determined to rule the world, and it wouldn't matter if we pulled every service person we have stationed around the world and brought them home tomorrow, it would only convince them that we...

CatWrites No, terrorists targeted the US before we invaded Iraq, and they will continue to be a threat even if we leave, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't leave. Being in Iraq isn't making us any less of a target and leaving won't make us any more of a target. What...
