    Speak Free or Die!

    Oh. Well, then...YOU win and defer to your first-hand knowledge. I am not too proud to admit that I wasn't alive to hear President Washington's own words, as they left his lips. I'm impressed at your age...AND that you were such a close, personal confidant of his. Any other of our...

    Who's Online...and Why

    I agree completely...and completely disagree on one point: "If only everyone's reasons for visiting online communities were simply to socialize." After 10 years of participating on numerous different online sites and venues, there is one thing of which I am absolutely positive: every single...

    Who's Online...and Why

    But, do you find the same to be true with other women with whom you work, who aren't specifically trained in communications? I, personally, don't fit the generally-stereotyped mold (as presented in the article), either...but I find it to be true, generally-speaking, for women. Most people who...

    Speak Free or Die!

    @ Tru Lib: The POTUS in charge in 1798 reacted to the real and/or imagined perils during their wartime, just as the POTUS in charge during WWI did. Ironically, both Acts were rescinded within 2 years of being enacted. You specifically indicated that 'it had never happened before the Civil...

    Who's Online...and Why

    Even though I AM female, I try real hard not to let perceptions and interpretations enter into online discussions; I prefer to simply look at others' posts, in black-and-white...where the facts *is* what the facts *is* and take it from there, without too much 'reading between the lines'. You...

    Who's Online...and Why

    I found it interesting that according to the article, generally speaking, women turn to online social sites to share experiences and to gain a feeling of community...yanno, like "~Whew~ I'm not the ONLY one who feels like that/has had that happen" and that men, generally speaking, turn to...

    Michelle Obama Talks Candidly On Race In America

    Careful, or you'll get this thread shut-down or moved for being off-topic; we are not discussing Nancy Reagan's illegal acts in this thread, we are discussing Mrs. Obama's recent speech regarding her experiences being on the receiving end of racism as the first non-white FLOTUS. :nono:

    Speak Free or Die!

    The Civil War ended in 1865; Woodrow Wilson became POTUS in 1912. "The Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798", a set of 4 laws, was under John Adams' reign; former president George Washington supported it. "The Sedition Act made it a high misdemeanor, punishable by fine, imprisonment, or both...

    Who's Online...and Why

    You think? It would seem that anyone online nowadays would at least be familiar with "Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus" and so would understand the concept that men and women process information differently...and communicate differently...and that these differences are NOT a bad thing...

    Who's Online...and Why

    Interesting article...exploring how/why women use social media and how/why men use social media. What Men And Women Are Doing On Facebook “The world’s gone social. And women are more social than men.” –Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg. Facebook, the largest social networking tool in the...

    White Appreciation Day?

    No. Why not? Here in the U.S., it would take an Act of Congress to make more than the current 365.25 days/calendar year. And, the rest of the world would have to get on board with it. It's doubtful they would.

    Speak Free or Die!

    This is a factually incorrect statement. http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Sedition+Act+of+1918 No doubt you will assert it one more time, as apparently, when rewriting history it is necessary to repeat erroneous statements a third time to make them stick.

    Michelle Obama Talks Candidly On Race In America

    *Sorry* that your fingers are broken and you're unable to Google to find things about which you are heretofore ignorant. Here, let me help you... http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2008Jun12/0,4670,TVFoxObama,00.html Was it equally hilarious when Nancy was dubbed "Reagan's Baby Mama"? Or, was...

    Speak Free or Die!

    Oh. Then, what exactly, are you two bitching about, now?...since it's now been proven that a "leftist president" AND several of our esteemed and irrefutable forefathering presidents have done the exact same thing, but it's only "not *right*" when some one does it?

    Michelle Obama Talks Candidly On Race In America

    Yes, it is our current First Lady's fault that Fox News referred to her as "Obama's Baby Mama"; after all, she did choose to lay on her back with her legs in the air and get impregnated by him just like your daddy's "baby mama" did, too, when you were created. No doubt there are numerous...

    Speak Free or Die!

    I'm not finding any reputable citations to prove the aforementioned "lock up thousands" under the Sedition Act of 1918, though I did find information regarding our forefathers locking up dissidents, also during [a] wartime. Wartime law is a tricky, tricky subject...

    First Woman To Cross Pacific Ocean Solo

    According to the article, only two have made it all the way, so the odds are against her. The article also indicated her tears aren't about fear, but from being anxious. It reads as if she has good reason TO be anxious. I wish her - and any other human being who attempts it - nothing but the...

    New Service Breaks Up With Your Partner So You Don't Have To

    Perhaps if either of the parties isn't mature enough to handle it should it go south, one or both of them shouldn't be in a/that relationship to begin with. Just a thought.
