    American Idol

    Again, I agree. The show just wouldn't be the same without her. As for the "evidence," I can't comment since I didn't see it. However, I read that she went on SNL and made fun of herself, so it doesn't sound as if she's terribly worried about all of it.

    American Idol

    Agreed. I actually liked his version of "On Broadway," but I still he think he should been voted off based on his overall performances. And I also agree with the others that he seemed really arrogant this week. Ha ha ha. Last year here in Britain they had another Simon-produced show called...

    American Idol

    I had posted something, but now I want to delete this message. How do I do that?

    American Idol

    Totally agree with everything you say. I didn't hate Scott, I just thought he wasn't the best singer by a long shot. I expected him to get through again this week on another "escape." What do y'all think happened? Did Constantine's fans rally and get revenge? It just seems so sudden that after...

    American Idol

    Again, I agree with you. Unless you choose to believe the conspiracy theories (which I don't), then for whatever reason, he lost. Maybe his fans were just too complacent. Maybe everybody migrated over to Scott because of his "I'm the average guy" tear-jerker video. Who knows? But don't blame the...

    Pastor blasts skimpy dress.

    That's interesting. How would you prefer that funerals be conducted? I'm not trying to be argumentative, just curious. I've never heard anybody say that.

    Pastor blasts skimpy dress.

    Thank you. I remember when my father, a pastor, took over his current church. The former pastor had allowed a couple to book the church for a wedding, but then left. My father decided to honor the committment and do the wedding himself. The couple were very nice, but the bride's relatives were...

    [B]Designer Babies - right or wrong?[/B]

    When you say "designer baby," what do you mean? Do you mean when parents create a baby with, say, blue eyes just because they already have green-eyed children? Do you mean a baby created to provide genetic material so an older sibling can be cured of a disease? I think the former is an...

    American Idol

    Yeah, Paula will be forced out...just like all that conservative outrage forced CBS to fire Dan Rather. :sleep: (Although she may follow Rather's footsteps and gracefully retire after this season has finished.) For once I agree with Yojimbo. This show is Fox's cash cow. If there were any...

    American Idol

    That's pretty much how I feel. I didn't think Constantine would necessarily make it to the final, but I was TOTALLY shocked that he left before Scott and Anthony. When they narrowed it down to him and Anthony I remember being relieved. "Finally, they're getting rid of Anthony." I never dreamed...

    Should Christians become Socialists?

    That's basically how I feel. I don't consider any political system particularly religous. I'm looking at practical, real-world terms, and because of that, I happen to believe capitalism is the better system politically.

    Should Christians become Socialists?

    That's interesting. Aren't y'all part of the EU? And aren't y'all voting on whether to accept the EU Constitution next year? I remember earlier this year, there was an uproar in the news when it leaked that y'all have no control over your immigration policies--it all has to be approved by the EU.

    Should Christians become Socialists?

    Thank you. That pretty much sums up in a nutshell why I don't believe in socialism. (And btw, I'm not just complaining because I'm American. My DH is British and he says the same thing.)

    Have You Met a Star?

    I forgot, you can also include sports stars. I've met some of the Denver Broncos. I used to work in an airport and they were flying to a charity event on our flight. It was funny because I didn't know they were football players. I just saw these bulked up guys and thought, "They must be football...

    The Problem with American Catholics

    Tijuana was our first stop! Our team spent a week there. Oh my goodness...I don't think I'll ever forget some of those images. :( I also wrestle with the thought of whether I should I feel guilty for being so blessed to live in this country. I guess it's not so much that I mind being blessed, I...
