I'm over 50 and I lived in Alabama and Texas as a kid and yes "cracker" is a old term...and I recall it as offensive.

true and I don't want to kill anyone nor would I. I was answering a post in which someone asked why don't we examine TM's background since are examining GZ's. So I re-posted a post someone else made and I asked a question about TM's school expulsions.

yes let's - wasn't he expelled from school? someone posted earlier on TM's past - I think it was Nezumi : ...................... the Facebook and Twitter content of TM is absolutely relevant to understanding the person that GZ encountered that night. Far from being the sweet faced 12 year...

oh okay - I see......thanks. Cursive writing works with a child's fine motor skills. If we do away with cursive, kids will lose fine motor activity that they will need later in life. I want to know who all these people who hardly use cursive anymore are. I am over age 50 and I still write...

That is interesting..but what about signatures? We still have to sign various things throughout life. I just bough a new car and had to sign like 11 pieces of paper for the dealership & the DMV. we should still teach kids cursive because, even though we have computers, we still sign documents...

Can you make a silk purse from a sow's ear? The education system in this country takes all comers and some kids come to school much better equipped to learn than others. Is it the job of the schools to teach youngsters manners and respect? Or the job of the parents? Even if she's poorly...

all she has to do is show respect and lose the attitude. why is that so hard for a 19 year old?

but in context it makes sense-no?

I was taught that "polish is always polish" and "good manners will take you everywhere". i was also told "you will always know how to behave and you'll usually feel comfortable in most situations if you know and practice good manners". I think my parents gave me great GIFT by teaching me good...

WHAT did she just say about "bald headed "? I couldn't understand the whole thing.

This is a new low in acceptable behavior. She doesn't look the lawyers in the eye. This is a court of law. Maybe this "girl" is unsophisticated but someone should be admonishing her. She's made herself look really bad and the attitude STINKS. I can't watch it anymore.

good for you - I was the same way when I taught elem school. I told my students that we ALL were going to respect one another and be polite. that manners were invented so people who did not agree or like one another could work together.

I'm searching for it now. Perhaps I should PM you if I find it? I see someone is complaining again that posts are off-topic.

Agree - sexual connection without empathy/emotion is bizarre. I was reading about the hook-up culture of so many college students these days. I'll try and find the article I read that said that sex for the sake of sex inhibits the growth of emotional intimacy. It talked about how sex is such a...

yesss--anna-nicole came to my mind when sugar daddies were mentioned. but she was actually much prettier and sexier than jodi in my opinion. and her sugar daddy was what -?-88 or 89 -? and probably not of sound enough mind to figure out he was being used. anna-nicole probably had some mental...

Yes it must be terrible. I know my mom's friend was very lonely and she got fleeced for a lot by the charming gigolo waiter. She was devastated when she found out about his girlfriend. He really pretended to care for her but he was a user. I was a teenager back in those days but he gave me the...

Indeed. I grew up there and there is a lot of $$ in good old La Jolla.

Agree many of these wealthy older men are either stupid or perhaps senile. I grew up in La Jolla. 3 doors down lived an older wealthy couple. The wife became ill and the husband hired some sort of part time housekeeper to help out. This "maid" wasn't even that attractive or young. He was...

yes she did work but was she ever self-supporting? i think she always lived with a boyfriend or a roommate. many young people do, of course, and Travis even had roommates. but wasn't Travis allowing roommates more out of a desire to help people not because he needed the $$ for help paying the...

I read recently that waist-to-hip RATIO is what is KEY in attracting men - even more than breast size or face: .................. A WHR of 0.7 for women and 0.9 for men has been shown to correlate strongly with general health and fertility. Women within the 0.7 range have optimal levels of...
