Leauki, just google Hamtramck and Mosque and you will get the story that I was refering to. I guess living in the Detroit area I see it more because of the large Muslim population here.

Reply to A Crooked And Perverse Generation in Religion Stardock Forums

I have not been ciompenting recently, more because of time concerns then anything else. I appreciate your article, and while I can agree with the general thrust of argument you claim some things that are simlpy not true. 1. Desecration of Churches: I can see your worldview coming into play here, but there have been plenty of desecration of churches, just not White Christian churches in the suburbs. Think of the 60's and racial desecration of churches in the south. Think o

Reply to A request for my fellow Americans in Blogging Stardock Forums

Charles, Well said and agreed to the most part. Although I share your concern with the speed of many of these actions, I do disagree with the idea that they should not be tackled right away. With healthcare at least we are debating something. I don't know many people on either side that believe the current system can exsist in perpituity and not much has been done on this issue for many years. In general, I agree, get informed, make your opinion known and stand up for what

Paladin, First Congrats on getting a beast like that done, and to the publisher. have never sold somthing, so I cannot tell you what my feeling would be, but I imagine that it would be hard, especially if it is your frist book, an idea that you have worked on for years and years. So good luck and keep strong. JD

Everyone should have an unchanging place. A place where time has no hold, where memories can flourish EXACTLY as you remember them. A place where the laughter of childhood resonates through your veins the very moment you arrive. Some people are lucky in

Just becuase of the blind ignorance of your statement "trillions wasted on a stimulus project that does nothing but fund groups like ACORN" I decided to look up projects that are being funded by the ARRA.

Yeah, here in Michigan, we dont have to worry about water.

Reply to The Infidelity Train Rolls ON in Politics Stardock Forums

Edwards is pretty forgetable, and I did research him when writing the blog. The problem with him is that by the time his affair was public knowledge, he was already out of public office. He was never confronted with it while serving. Don;t know what his reaction would have been, probably along the lines of these guys, not resign and try to get past it publicly.

The Infidelity Train Rolls ON in Politics JoeUser Forums

Man, we must be headed for some sort of infidelity record in the political arena. We have had two major players go down in the past few weeks, each in their own agonizing manner. Gone are the days of illicit meet ups at a hotel, now we have international intrigue, with Governors jetting off to to other countries just to cheat. It is an exciting time to be a scandal watcher in politics. First was a senator from Nevada, John Ensign, who while being a staunch proponent of "Family Val

Reply to How can we Survive in this economy... in US Domestic Stardock Forums

You know, I think this might just be the key to restarting the economy right here. I know that there are a lot of people out of work, but even here in MI, the state with the highest unemployemnt rate, roughly 85% of people who want work, have it. The problem is that like you, many people are being VERY stingy when it comes to buying ANYTHING. I am all ofr savings, but at some point you have to come out of the shell and do/buy something -- even if it is popcorn.

Lost in the Wilderness in Republican JoeUser Forums

A new poll by USA Today/Gallup finds that the majority of respondents, when asked to name a person who speaks for the Republican party, could not. They could not pick a person who leads roughly half the countries population in their political views. So, that begs the question, of the 48% who were able to name names, who came in first place? Maybe Sarah Palin, Michael Steele or Bobby Jindal? Nope, number one, w

[quote who="spiritwhotalks" comment="34"] Remember, the United States are about personal choice, being an individual,. If we expect to be treated like a free thinking personi n a Democracy, then we have to allow others the same benefit.

Cities XL in Gaming JoeUser Forums

This is a short post for me, but I was wondering if anyone out there has ahad a chance to play Cities XL via their beta? I know I have signed up, but have not been offered a chance to play yet. I was wondering if anyone out there has, or if it's not opened up yet. I am very excited for this game, although I am really going to miss the organic feeling you get that comes from zoning and not plopping. Thanks, JD

Reply to President Has Canceled The National Day of Prayer in Current Events Stardock Forums

OK... KFC, last time I checked lying is a sin, and that is exactly what you are doing in this article. LYING. I could not believe what you write was true, so I did some research. All Obama did was go back to the way the day was celebrated BEFORE PRESIDENT BUSH. So by stating that Obama is ending a tradition started by Eisenhower is an outright lie. He still signed the proclimation creating a national day of prayer, just like every president since Eisenhower. He is just not going to have a rel

Reply to Political musings on diversity in Blogging Stardock Forums

Excellent article! I agree wholeheartedly and think that contrary to what many think, our diversity is our greatest strength. It will allow us to bend, but not break in many situations. It also allows us to be a great big pot of ideas where many people can advance and defend different ideas. This is the reason that although other nations may rise economincally, I am not worried about losing the innovation edge, we are an innovative people by nature, do to our diversity.

Specter the Defector in Politics JoeUser Forums

Arlen Specter has bailed on the Republican Party. I want to approach this news from three different directions: 1. Swine Flu made the man go crazy 2. Republican's are battling an increasingly conservative party structure that does not leave room for moderates like Specter. 3. Specter is just out to save his political life, this is just a pragmatic switch to stay a senator. Ok, so the swine flu probably has nothing to do with this, but you cannot count it out,
