i find it funny that people of the previous generation always talk about how lost the new generation is given that the previous generation is the one who guided and thought the newer generation their values and morals. If there is a problem, then its them who caused the problem so complaining about the actions of the newer generation would do a lot less good than some deep internal reflection.

Why must people try to attribute supernatural cause to things with perfectly natural explanation?"

on a related note, i was watching espn and Stafon Johnson, a tailback for USC, droped ~275 lb bar w/ weights on his neck, i assum while benching and had to be sent to the hospital.

His mom was either working or at the same hospital that he was brought to after the accident. She was all...It was gods work that he was brought to the same hospital i was at after his injury...

was it also gods work that put that bar on his neck?

or did god just start paying attention after the bar fell on his neck and whisped him away to the same hospital his mom was at?

I know this is 8 months late, but I agree with the sentiment here:

Quote :

""I'm not at all surprised at the 40% bass tard births. I've been saying for years that society has lost all sense of morals because of the lack of television censorship and parental indifference to their childrens behavior. Nobody wants to take the time to teach children values and morals anymore. There's nothing on television anymore except teenagers (and adults) having sex with anybody and everybody. Disgusting.""

The bolded part is so true. Parents don't raise their kids anymore. They leave them to friends, society, TV, and videogames. And look at today's programmes (Gossip Girl, Grey's anatomy, etc), it is just bunch of people having sex with each other all the time, changing partners within the group every month or so.

11/13/2009 4:03:55 PM

i agree with the story and the sentiment reflected

and no it as nothing to do with fuckin people wanting to go back to slave days and times before womens suffrage


thats a fuckin stupid thing to say, i feel morals and valuing human privacy and true tolerance of ALL perceptions and viewpoints are pretty much down the shitter

its only tolerant thought if its progreesive thought, it doesnt count as intolerance if you are dissing rednecks or conservative ideals

maybe i'm missing something, but isnt the real story here that the OP is almost thirty and working at a grocery store or something similar?

why do we need another amphitheater?

5/13/2010 8:17:28 AM

I don't know that we necessarily needed an amphitheater, but Raleigh did need a concert venue that was between 5-8000 seats that wasn't also a dedicated theater. There are a ton of mid-tier bands that skip this area simply because there was nowhere for them to play. Disco Rodeo/Lincoln/Cradle/etc. were too small, DPAC/Memorial were too "nice", Koka Booth does not allow many types of bands due to noise, etc. and the Creek/RBC are too big.
