Michael, at 63 I have heard that "gateway" comment for over 40 years.  The only reason pot is a gateway drug is BECAUSE it's illegal.  Maybe if pot had been legalized back in the early 70's we might never have had the issues that later arose with cocaine, crack, meth and so on.  Of course we can never know for sure, bu...more

I don't care if the young and the ignorant don't know who Paul is.  I haven't a clue who 70% of the people are that show up on magazine covers, newspaper birthday lists, and red carpets.  But I will say that my generation did know who the celebs of our parents' day were, and watched a lot of the old movies, too. Gave u...more

She's 18 and worried about getting old?   Gee, I'm sure there was no parental influence on that upbringing.  Nor should he be working on his own child' breasts.  This ISN'T brain surgery, and there should be a degree of daughterly modesty that is seriously lacking.  Daddy may not be a perv, but he sure as hell is a ter...more

S1YONE, lady lupus & dews gtrf:   The most recent baptism of Anne Frank took place in the Dominican Republic.  The practice of doing these baptisms in the US is hardly ancient history.  And YOU are incorrect in stating that only ancestors are so dishonored.  Dr. Martin Luther King has also been "baptized" as well a...more

I understand all the posts here defending Mormonism, but I am totally offended by their practice of baptizing non-Mormons as Mormons after their deaths.  Yesterday, it was reported by a former Mormon that Anne Frank had just been re-baptized FOR THE TENTH TIME. I am not a member of any religion, and I am still appalled...more

Yes, I probably am "old" by youdontwanna's standards: 62.   I guarantee his definition of old will change in time! :-)  Unfortunately, his lack of manners may not.  Thanks to partialtogundogs, fargoguy and mark713 for pointing this out.   With two 19-year-olds in the house, I hear a lot of different music, but running ...more

Les Paul and Mary Ford.  Boy that brings back memories of the days when the people making recordings and being played on the radio were actual musicians. Didn't matter what you looked like (think Roy Orbison), nor did being outrageous pass for talent. Not to mention music was, well, musical. Les was one of the all time...more

Along with the beans, you can save a bundle by making your own stuff from scratch.  Pasta sauce is an example.  Use a giant can of tomato sauce or puree, or several large cans of tomato paste. (Shop Smart & Final, Sam's Club or Costco for great bulk deals.) If you don't have a recipe, find one online or at the library....more

Pharmacydoc, like most righties, you ASSUME that poor people don't work hard, or even work at all.  And public education is only as good as the local government is willing to pay for it to be.  These are not handouts, these are houses that poor people can afford, and the students who design and build them are learning ...more
