Some. Form of sex is needed Tell that to the doctors of a 60 yr old woman with dementia who thinks she is eight years old or an elderly man who has just had half his bowels and one testicle removed . They both need love and support not sex |

All depends on what you believe:
If you think it is government's job to take care of you, then Obama. If you think it is your responsibility to take care of yourself, then Trump! |

Fantastic Comments Everybody! Mardi Gras is amazing if you never experienced it there's lots of reasons to go. The vitality of the people is wonderful. darkowl I think I may have seen yer krewe a few years ago - simply fun and rich. Here in BSL its always a treat when one of the Krewes from NOLA show up. The bayside strip near the pier and harbor has been building up recently. Lots of great restaurants and night clubs. I bet they're just packed with revelers! BSL would be a great place for a Mingle meet. Not as many people as NOLA but could be a meeting point for a group trip to NOLA. Could also run the beach hwy 90 all the way to Biloxi. I bet the Hard Rock is packed too. Plus that brand new aquarium will be open soon in Gulfport. HWY 90 is littered with casinos and all have hotel accommodations and great food. Certainly a great experience if ya never been. Plus, we would have a year to plan it out. Let's not forget Baton Rouge, Hammond, Covington & Slidell. Plus there's 6 Flags, gator farms & swamp tours. Lots of stuff to do! |

After Hurricane Katrina, a couple guys from Pass Christian (next door to Tom) moved up to this little town in NW Arkansas and started a traditional Mardi Gras here. They had been involved in the ones on the Gulf coast. This was our 15th year celebrating Mardi Gras. This year I just watched the parade and spent time with a couple friends. This was the first year I did not have an active roll in at least one of the events. I do plan on getting back active again next year!! It is a great celebration and helps support the community. Lots of fun but hard on old guys!!

When I think of "minimum wage" I think in terms of what the prevailing local minimum wage is that an employer has to pay to get a starting worker who can actually work. It varies all over the country and it is mostly a demand vs availability thing. There is a difference between urban and rural as well as the local high school graduation rate. Where I am in Minnesota it is around $13/hour, here in Arkansas where I currently am it is more in the $8-9 range. Less jobs and more workers. The idea of a national minimum wage needs to significantly change and actually be based on geographic regions. One size fits all just doesn't work anymore.

NO, I am not happy or satisfied with my life as it is. It would seem a major change is in order for my future. Hi oldkid Do you have a plan? |

There is no "ALL" for any group. In some situations there are a few, in others, many but never all. The only "all" you may be seeing is who are in your inbox!!

I'm assuming the full quote is "it takes a village to raise a child" It had nothing to do with taking anything from anyone, it was about the idea that many people are willing to give of themselves when needed and the examples their lives show to a child. Most people are willing to give of themselves especially when it comes to children. It may be something as simple as tossing a ball with some child or mentoring a child in school. It might be something much more as in setting up a local school scholarship or paying for a child's medical care. There is no government involvement or mandate only people giving to others because they want to.

Maybe women wouldn't but I would dear and my very good friend Dino would be absolutely cockahoop to see you in a pair My osteopath told me the other day she once had a bloke turn up in thongs and she requested him to wear normal underwear next time. He was kind of surprised, but let's face it, it's a bit too much information. I said to her "Yes, it makes the lunch packet stand out a wee bit too much, there's nothing then suddenly this lump at the front." She couldn't stop laughing and agreed. Try one and look in the mirror |

Some of the greatest minds in the country also are smart enough to know politics is not something they want to enter and have their lives ruined!! No matter what you do, a substantial portion of the country will hate you and want to destroy you. The higher you get in politics, the worse the hate.

Several comments here: For many years local schools only went through the 8th grade. If you wanted to go to school beyond that, you generally had to go out of the area you lived in to attend school beyond 8th grade. In later years it was decided to increase to 12th grade at local schools and expand the educational opportunities locally. If you recall, at one time high school was generally a separate, stand alone school in the larger community and many people still didn't complete a high school education. Today, our schools in many communities are not doing an adequate job of teaching even through the 12th grade. We have to change that result before we try and expand an education after that.
Part of that problem comes with teaching the basics such as reading and comprehension. Also there seems to be a knowledge deficit with basic math and science. Schools want to push everything else but the basics. They also have stopped teaching the basic skills needed for beginning employment - too much emphasis on college, not enough on everyday tasks. In many places, there are still too many students who can't even manage to complete 12 years and actually learn what little is provided. After we figure out how to get a successful education out of 12 years, we will need to eventually add 2 more years but we will need to look at the old European idea of establishing different educational paths for the students. That is part of the problem with high school today - the push that all students should go to college after high school. While that is the right direction for many students, it leaves many more with no suitable direction. We need to remember there are many career choices where a 1-2 year vocational education prepares them for a successful career. |

If I take Msh definition of socialism "a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole" then I cannot support the idea of socialism. Taking some of the proceeds from that effort is necessary but that control over the means (such as nationalizing a company or sector) is not acceptable!! A number of countries have tried that with disastrous results.

The big debate and part of the 2020 election is where to draw that line between capitalism and socialism. Most of us realize in reality that some of both are required to have sustainable economic success and a stable society. We have seen countries be destroyed by excess socialism and we have seen governments overthrown for too much capitalism. A certain amount of socialism is necessary within a capitalistic society to provide for those who are not physically or mentally capable of providing for themselves. Providing that support for certain groups is what we expect of our government. What we don't expect or accept is when government taxes us to help support those who are capable but unwilling to support themselves and their families.

The Russians started the "Demoralization Program" in the United States back in 1965 which was the start. Between 2014-16 is when the Socialist gained enough influence for the takeover. 2017 until now they've just been salifing their position. Now the Socialist are pushing laws to break the government system so they can have a full takeover. Figured you'd want a better answer then I gave. I still do not see why that is a 'democrat' issue. Firstly, the 60s had their own issues of morals going on without any type of 'intervention'. Secondly the Russian influence seems, to me, to be happening with the cooperation of the current Republican POTUS. |

I am a democrat who did not get the memo. What conversion and when did it happen? When did they start calling the Democratic Party "Democratic Socialists?" Last time I voted, I saw no such box. There has always been a 'they' and 'they' say a lot of things about other people, |
