It seems as though your last comment wa...HEY WILL!<br /><br />It seems as though your last comment was directed towards me. The comment about the abortion clinic was because I've lived other places where I slowly saw these things progress from silent marches to terrorizing. You're absolutley right, though. Everyone should have free speech, regardless if I agree or not. It's just this case in particular that I'm a little more sensitive about. Cute sarcasim, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19105683.post-32394523398062197152006-12-21T12:54:00.000-05:002006-12-21T12:54:00.000-05:00@ HC: Don't worry about not responding. Sometimes ...@ HC: Don't worry about not responding. Sometimes I talk so much that I don't want to respond to myself either. <br /><br />That didn't make sense, but you get the point.<br /><br />Just in case I don't see you before we jet, have a safe and wonderful holiday yourself, Hipster!<br /><br />@ Will: Unless I'm reading too much into what you're saying, I wouldn't limit radical liberals to just silent protestors. I'm reminded of the dark comedy "The Last Supper", where a bunch of ultra-liberals invite conservatives over for dinner, talk to them about controversial issues, and kill them if they don't agree. While I can't think of examples of extreme liberalism right now, I know they exist.<br /><br />You're right about the twists used against the video game. True, the main player is apart of a militia type army (the Tribulation force), but the player only uses violent force if they have to. It's not all about killing. But anything that causes Christians and secularists alike to protest says something.<br /><br />As it relates the b-ball players (and other celebs): I agree. They shouldn't be <i>required</i> to be role models just because they're famous. But, the reality is: they are. Charles Barkley can make as many "I'm not a role model" commercials as he wants, but that won't do it. Celebs make an insane amount of money and become the attention of the world. Whether they like it or not, there's more to receiving that large paycheck than doing whatever it is you do professionally. It sucks for them; but that's how the world works...<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, Will. Have a happy and safe holiday, my friend.Andrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01018331496569382238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19105683.post-72294665564059209182006-12-21T10:45:00.000-05:002006-12-21T10:45:00.000-05:00Radicals sure are scary.

She probably was going to put a bomb by someone's house too, just like those radicals by the abortion clinic. <br /><br />I definitely agree with Andre on that one. Free speech is for the people I disagree with too. <br /><br />Being a gamer and having actually researched the game before NBC did an article on it (heck, before it came out even), I think this portrayal is more than a little skewed. It does look like a crappy game though.<br /><br />So anyone is ok as long as there is someone of the opposing faction that is equally or more crazy?<br /><br />Saying something isn't right and hatin' on people can be different. I'm not saying churches always do it differently, but it is possible.<br /><br />Now, onto things that weren't really covered by others: <br /><br />I don't think that basketball players (or any other celebrity) has an obligation to act like a role model because they are celebrity figures. They have this obligation because they are people, and when they fail to act appropriately, they should face the same punishment as anyone else. No more, no less. When we stop treating them like they have special and different rules than anyone else, they'll stop acting like it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19105683.post-15579197354247478252006-12-21T07:44:00.000-05:002006-12-21T07:44:00.000-05:00Hey Dre,

I just wanted to wish you and yours a great Christmas and a Happy New Year. Enjoy the vacation. I'm looking forward to another year of peering into Andre's head.

I read a lot; try to stay informed a bit. Lots of madness going on out there. It helps to know about it...<br /><br />@ Di: Hey Granny. I know you don't like political pieces; but thanx for stopping by anyway.<br /><br />Dag! I hope your computer's doing OK. I was gonna send flowers, but I'm not sure if it's allergic. I hope this won't affect your blogging. I'd hate to miss out on some of your recipes...<br /><br />I looked up the word "skeeter" and found out what it was. Leave it up to a city boy to have to get a translation! If it were up to me, and I had to use a southern dialect, "Skeetahs" would've been a cooler term for mosquitos. But who am I to try and rewrite the entire Southern vernacular?<br /><br />Talk to you soon.Andrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01018331496569382238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19105683.post-35279659524169170292006-12-19T17:35:00.000-05:002006-12-19T17:35:00.000-05:00@ Jos: I haven't been over on that side of town in...@ Jos: I haven't been over on that side of town in a hot second so I missed it. But, that kind of stuff doesn't bother me. In fact, I applaud anybody who can share their viewpoints without getting violent, uncivilized, and mean. Basically the radical folks...on BOTH sides. Extreme liberals are no different.<br /><br />@ Cyn: I hate the View also. I wouldn't be mad if it was censored. So much for what I just told Joslyn! :)<br /><br />The game is creepy to me.<br /><br />Amen about the war.<br /><br />I wouldn't call Bush crazy. Just stubborn and misinformed.<br /><br />Free speech needs to be afforded to all; not just those with whom we agree.<br /><br />Good point about gays/the church/coming out...<br /><br />LOL@ Frozen spinach. Whatever it was, it was enough to get re-elected.<br /><br />Rumsfeld could go over to some people's houses and personally kill their children and they wouldn't care.<br /><br />I'm curious, what's your issue with artificial insemination?<br /><br />Kim Jong Il is bad news.<br /><br />If this doesn't open people's eyes to Africa, nothing will.<br /><br />A n**ga moment indeed. They'd get mad if you call them that, but don't seem to mind that that's how they're acting.<br /><br />The Duke case is freaky in and of itself. It'll be interesting to see how it all unfolds.<br /><br />People often call me an alarmist, but I think that there are problems when you rely on other nations to handle your financial affairs. Over 62% of our national debt is owed to other nations.<br /><br />Merry Christmas to you as well, Cyn!Andrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01018331496569382238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19105683.post-88759029280534018142006-12-19T17:17:00.000-05:002006-12-19T17:17:00.000-05:00Thanks for catching me up on current events.

I didn't know about a lot of the stuff you mentioned. <br /><br />And, YES, it is my new computer that was sick, but I THINK I have it all cleaned up and recovering now. Hopefully, anyway....<br /><br />And skeeters are MOSQUITOES, Andre, in the Southern vernacular. Sorry, didn't mean to confuse you with the slang term for our state bird, LOL. ;D<br /><br />Arkansas and Tennessee are close neighbors, you know... :-)Diane@Diane's Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919687116633720697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19105683.post-77989298495915606502006-12-19T16:28:00.000-05:002006-12-19T16:28:00.000-05:00Man.

That's too scary for my liking.<br /><br />They need to leave Cindy Sheehan alone and concentrate on the REAL issues, THE WAR.<br /><br />Chavez is crazy. But not any crazier than Bush.<br /><br />The whole Constitution is hypocritical. Why stop at the 1st Amendment?<br /><br />Maybe if the church stopped hatin' on gay ministers, more of them would come out.<br /><br />I couldn't believe that Jefferson was re-elected either. I guess they confused that money found in his freezer with frozen spinach. LOL!<br /><br />LOL @ Rums-failed. Apparently some people dont think so.<br /><br />I don't care as much about lesbian women raising children. Its the artificial insemination thing that has me disturbed.<br /><br />Even if Ahmadinejad is removed, there's still Kim Jong Il<br /><br />Sad story about those Libyan kids. Maybe this will finally turn attention to Africa.<br /><br />Oooh! You said the n-word! LOL! But, I agree. They definitely had a n**ga moment.<br /><br />I'm sick of the Duke case. This makes it even worse.<br /><br />I'm not that familiar with the Chinese money story. But if its anything like you paint it, we're all in trouble.<br /><br />Merry Christmas, Dre!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19105683.post-83438068987612697712006-12-19T10:43:00.000-05:002006-12-19T10:43:00.000-05:00*Shakes my head at the video game*

They were silent and simply holding "Pro-life" signs, but I can't help but worry that this turns into something more...I swear if a bomb goes off by my house!!!!!<br /><br />Good News Picks, Andre :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
