I can see good things coming from the technology but I find this type of thing plain ol' dumb.

I don't see much of a problem with wishlists... especially when you're on a tight budget and you want to get something that is affordable that the person will actually use.

I saw the documentary and I wasn't convinced... though her evidence was somewhat logical her conclusions were... too broad for my taste.

I skimmed the current content of this thread... and though I have a lot to say I choose not to simply because it isn't worth the effort. I agree with those of you who said that this really isn't the best place to discuss religion.

HOWEVER!! I have noticed that with all the various links on this thread regarding the LDS faith, the one that should be here that isn't is the official Q&A site I mean honestly you want to know what anything is really... [more]

the attitudes of some of the people in here is exactly the reason why I don't contribute very often.

I have cerebral palsy. I KNOW firsthand how words like, cripple, retard, and a lot others can be incredible damaging to a person.

using those words because it is "fun" is just plain stupid. You know nothing about the person other than his/her disability... calling anybody a name such as "retard" only shows your immaturity to look beyond a fact... [more]

tears come to my eyes whenever I come in here... I'm still amazed how easily I fell for this sh*t.... however, there is absolutely nothing I can do about it now but try to get to ground zero as fa as the facts are concerned.

I like romi though I *knew this girl*... I like romi have absolutely no sympathy for her...

I am going to try to let the matter drop for now... I will be away from the computer for a few days... so if there is any info...... [more]

Ok since I have been mentioned... I will clear some things up.

I am not kaycee. I was duped I met her collegeclub.com. I also have a weblog http://members.fortunecity.com/blairworld

up until recently I thought of kaycee as a real person who I had interacted with. I am obviously very very confused about all of this... but in no way ever knowingly participated in this charade.

Well, well, well, someone trys to do something nice for a person... someone tries to share what they've learned from a person willing to share their story with the entire planet. And, you get into a bind over the matter.

Let's get something straight.... Kaycee and her family don't want anybody kissing anything. They are people who like the whole straight story... no holds barred. They are merely, providing themselves with a way to express themselves and maybe... [more]
