Greetings dear friends, I'm curious if you make an effort to befriend those that are of a different race or different culture than you are? Do you spend time trying to learn of their ways or do you have a set way of thinking...

soccermom I was raised to believe that we all come into this world the same way, and we all bleed the same color. I have also instilled this in my children. They are aware of various cultures and I feel are more well rounded and happy because of it. It is a proud moment...

soccermom Thanks for the BR! I guess I lost track of this discussion, so in response to devlyn's question...I wasn't really so much as offended by the fact she called herself a "hockeymom", because most of us hockeymoms and soccermoms are very on top of things, I was...

Retiring GOP Senator Chuck Hagel, who has been mentioned as a possible member of the Obama Administration, had some unkind words for right-wing talk show host Rush Limbaugh during a speech in Washington. Here is what he had to...

soccermom I listen to Rush everyday at work, and everyday I ask myself why I continue to listen to him. Maybe I just like getting iritated. LOL I also caught a bit of O'Reilly on the radio last night, and had to laugh when he had a caller ask him if he wasn't being a...

The crew of Indian Naval ship, INS Tabar relieved the world of a mass of human debris, while rescuing another ship from an attack by pirates. Piracy has become a huge problem on the high sees. I hope other nations follow suit...

soccermom I haven't seen much news lately, so is this the same ship that was already hijacked that they rescued? or did they thwart another attempt? Either way you slice it they need to be commended. There was a lot of discussion on talk radio about what country was...

soccermom I can certainly understand your frustration pye. But you may want to check to see if the fruit stand in front of the supermarket is actually owned by the grocery store or if it is a local vendor trying to sell their goods. WE have a store here that accepts...

soccermom The economy will get worse before it gets better, I'm just hoping that people will see this as part of the process and not automatically blame Obama. I have a feeling that 4 years from now we will all be in better shape.

soccermom Taskr, it's not unfair to make that comparison at all. The election in 2000 was an absolute nightmare, and I really think that it wasn't because liberals hated Bush from the beginning, I think it's that they hated the perception that was attached to our...

soccermom I was going to start a discussion similar to this zephyr. This is what is really driving me nuts, Obama was elected. End of discussion, there were no "hanging chads", non of the election day drama that we've had in the past. The majority of the American people...

soccermom If he was "refused by the white man" he wouldn't have been elected. I'm sorry I don't share your views, I truly believe that he will be good for all.

soccermom There's not too much I can thank the current president for, except for the fact that if he wouldn't have done such a miserable job people would not be looking so forward to Obama's inauguration day!

soccermom I'm not planning on using any of it, we have adopted a strict cash only policy in this house. But having a higher credit limit without having a big balance means a lower debt to income ratio, and will make my credit score better. I have decent credit, but this...

soccermom I think regardless of who was elected we would've seen the stock market decline. During McCains last week or two of campaigning there was hope that the 3rd quarter results wouldn't be as bad as expected, and when the quarter ended on Sept. 31 we started...
