Ok, so I love watching the History Channel. So many interesting things to see. But this particular show was about the 2012 Mayan Doomsday prediction. In this show they mention the date from the Mayan Calendar predicting the end of...

dpurchas Totally. I have mixed feelings though. Part of me would rather know so that I could do a little to be as prepared as possible, but the other half is like you said, I just don't want to know when its my time. Ultimately you have to live life like everyday is...

dpurchas Those are my favorites too. Plus the food channel. I am constantly flipping between those. There are some really neat shows on those channels. Definitely more healthy to worry about the stuff we can do something about. Although I am a control freak, so that...

dpurchas Too true. The last few years I have been just facinated with any of the natural disaster shows. The one about the megavolcano under Yellowstone was really good. And of course, it could go at any minute...:) These shows are fun to watch, and no, I don't think I...

dpurchas Aw come on. You don't think that can of pork and beans will last that long? LOL! Your right though, life does go on. It will be interesting to see how things play out in the next few years.

dpurchas Mine too. Althought it would be nice to have an excuse not to pay bills anymore. LOL! I think that is really the main message of any of these show is that life is short - live it to the fullest.

dpurchas That's kind of what they alluded to that it was an 'as we know it' kind of thing. But there isn't anything anyone can do about it at this point if it is going to happen, so your right, dwelling isn't going to do anyone any good. These shows are mostly for...

dpurchas Yeah - I have a yound daughter too. I don't like to think of stuff like this happening in her lifetime or that of several generations. But I guess if it happens, it happens. Nothing is certain in life. :)

dpurchas Yeah! That is a good thought. I think we'll all be eating more fish! I am glad I know how to swim. LOL. I really wish I had the National Geographic channel. I have heard they have some really great programs and I can't get it on my set up. Not in my area or...

dpurchas Very true! There really are no guarantees. I hadn't heard of the thing in 2000 though. Thanks for that tidbit. For anyone that dwells on stuff like this, that would make them feel better I am sure. I know there have been tons of people predicting this stuff...

dpurchas That's kind of where I am sitting. I am not one to put too much stock in those things normally. There have been so many. These days though, so many are talking about such things that it makes you wonder. I'd hate to be unprepared; and that is only 5 years...

My friend and I were having a discussion about religion. What if one was to marry someone that has a different religion for example a christian marrying a muslim. How difficult do you think it would be to get along? I think one...

dpurchas That's interesting. I wonder why my mother had to convert in order for them to marry. Maybe it was a family thing rather than a church thing, but I don't see my mom doing that for his family. But that is good to hear that you can get along without stepping on...

I've long said that Press=Participation, but this crap going on in Jena, LA takes that to the extreme. Last year a Black student asked permission to sit under a tree on campus. The school officials said, "sit where you...

dpurchas Amen to that! I agree one hundred percent with your response here. And I agree partially with Para. It is wrong that anyone has to feel that they don't have the basic rights of another human in this country. And I agree that the symbolism of the rope is wrong...

dpurchas Thanks for the tips and the advice! I have searched to find some stuff from old discussions so far, but I have a lot to learn about how all of this works. I have noticed what you mentioned about the people though. It almost seems naive, but I feel like I am...

dpurchas Oh! I didn't even think of that yet. I have been viewing the top discussion pages so far. (and a could of the interest categories) I don't know if I can spend time on just the discussions for my interests. I'd never come up for air.
