    Post a poem...........

    Have You Ever Doug Sims 9/25/04 Have you ever watched a butterfly chase a dragon? Have you ever watched a tall ship float through the sky? Have you ever had a sunbeam take you away ? Have you ever rode a frog across pond to save the one you love? When was the last time you let your dreams move you?

    Seven Nights

    Not knowing where to put this i decided on here. It is of my own mind and hand. I hope you enjoy it. Seven Night BY Doug Sims 9/20/2004 I am not a writer nor a poet but at times I find that the pen has put down the wanderings of my mind. In some cases I have been told they are some...

    Douglas Anglicized form of the Gaelic name Dubhghlas, which meant "dark river" or "blood river" from Gaelic dubh "dark" and glais "water, river". Douglas was originally a river name, the site of a particularly bloody battle.

    Lower Back Tatoos on Females

    Sounds like an excuse. You know when any old excuse will work type of thing. If you felt dirty it was because it was your feelings were not being alined with the person to whom you were making love to. You know the more I think about this the more disgusted I became. Then I realized that you...

    Was Jesus Black

    The most common point in the discussion seems to what difference it makes what color he was. My feelings are that people or society in general can not get over having images to relate to. In those images we tend to make in our own image because we are basically a vain people.

    Was Jesus Black

    This has been speculated about for a very long time and it’s coming up again. Why again at this time? Political or racial? http://www.voanews.com/english/2006-10-17-voa37.cfm There was also an interview on CNN web site. I don’t know how to get a short cut to work on a film clip. Sorry

    Is Global Warming happening?

    I’m not a scientist or climatologist but I do work on the North Slope in Alaska and have for the last 12 years. I have seen the effects of receding permafrost causing caves and heaves in the ground. Now frost heaves are from the permafrost heaving out of the ground similar to platonic...

    Demonizing the word liberal

    Even though I don’t see Jesus as being a liberal or conservative I will agree that for today’s society the meanings of each have varied meaning other than political. I saw Jesus as a teacher not of liberal concepts but of spiritual survivorship. That is what we are suppose to be, the...

    Is the death penalty right?

    Very emotional subject. It has flip-flopped for a long time. I’m not a Christian, but having been raised in a Christian family I remember Jesus taught forgiveness. That’s hard to do when rage is involved. I’m applauding the Quakers at the moment for their conviction to faith in...

    Demonizing the word liberal

    Could be a carry over from other forums I visit. where liberal equates to crazy Democrats and Conservative equates to the righteous Republicans. I do understand there are other meanings to liberal and conservative. I just don’t always agree with the way they are used or used in reference...

    The Reality of Evil

    Michel for the most part I agree with what you are saying My belief is that best compared to electrical theory. Positive and negative charges where both are required to exist. Neither being good or bad just requiring each other.

    Demonizing the word liberal

    You are all correct. I’m the one who is stepping outside of modern sociological status quo by not accepting the labels or ideology of extremes. My free thinking often puts me in this position.

    Spankings

    I think there is a difference between spanking and whipping. In the animal kingdom young mammals are scolded by nurturing adults. Rarely do you see animals become overly vicious with the young. I know we are above the animals in evaluation (I say lightly).

    Demonizing the word liberal

    I guess this is where I will say we can disagree. Or maybe I'm not understanding. I feel I’m not as trapped by sociological meanings of words. I do not see people as being liberal or conservative. I see them for their actions and interactions with others. They may have more or less values...

    Demonizing the word liberal

    And how does that make him a liberal? in most cases in todays society that would make him an outlaw. I know outlaws who are as conservative as the present administration. (Bush and Company) Or i should just say his assoiates. Liberalism and Conservativism in my mind are political words. Jesus...

    Demonizing the word liberal

    I would have to agree with your earlier statement that liberalism is seen differently by different people and we tend to talk past each other. My being open minded to different options and or solutions by no means mean that I accept every option that I see. They are merely options, choices that...

    I never concidered Jesus as a liberal as in anti conservative. Comassionate yes, extreem passion in belief. he was in fact actually very set in his belief so much as to reject all others that my chalange him.

    Demonizing the word liberal

    Liberal ……. I’m 56 soon to be 57, I am a product of the 60’s, Vietnam and hippies along with the religious background I have already covered. I guess for me liberal means not being close minded to options. Conservative… I think I covered by my earlier statement. If I can not help myself how do...
