[quote=davelj][quote=AN]I missed out on that and I will never be able to experience that. Money can be made later but certain experiences in life only come once.[/quote]

I “missed out” on this experience as well. Thank the Fates. It looked horrible. A bunch of immature asshats living in cramped quarters… no thanks.[/quote]

The dorm “experience” is overrated. I went to OSU and lived in perhaps 500 sq feet with 3 other gals. The girl across the hallway attempted suicide, 1 girl was killed when she drove drunk into a semi on her way home for Christmas, and the other 2 roommates hated college and made it known. For one year it was a constant revolving door of roommates. I couldn’t wait to get out…but perhaps that is just cause it was in Ohio during the 80’s…..

[quote=temeculaguy]Morally corrupt?? So the world used to be better? By my calculations, almost the entire history of mankind was far more morally corrupt than it is today. Slavery existed in most parts of the globe, not just in this country and not just blacks, people all over the world, entire cultures and races were enslaved, how does that stack up morally vs. the supposed decay we have today. How about the routine genocide, raping and pillaging that went on for centuries, were those the good ole days? The only countries that practice God’s law today, where religion supercedes the will of the people, are mostly islamic countries and they can be the most repressive, but they read a different book so you can dismiss them.

I all for your right to believe what you want, I know my words wont change your opinion but you have to realize that for most of us, religious texts aren’t to be taken literally. They were verbally handed down for generations, modified for political and economic reasons over time and sometimes were in another language that doesn’t always translate well enough to use as a legal argument. I’m gonna die one day, probably within a few decades and I am so excited to finally figure it all out. I’ll wager a beer in heaven that the number of commandments was not ten, somebody took one out or slipped one in, I just know it (Don’t be dick to waiters was probably number 11, but that’s another topic). I just love talking to the guys that doorknock on Saturday mornings cause their version of the rules says god’s law forbids certain celebrations. I always argue that one with them, I’m nice, I tell them they are good people but I think somebody was in a bad mood and edited their book long ago. Why would god hate valentines day? I hate the taste of those little chalk flavored hearts as much as the next guy, but it’s just fun to show affection and to teach kids to give a card to all the girls, it’s your earliest exposure to net fishing. Birthday’s, who doesn’t like cake and ice cream and singing songs, why does hate that? My god is cool with that, my god prefers that to telling people they are wrong for feeling the way they do even when they don’t hurt anyone else in the process. I’m gonna miss football and basketball, I’ll probably miss porn (can’t imagine any god allows internet porn which is why I’m getting my quota in now) but what i wont miss is people telling me what god says, I really think it will be awesome to get into a religious argument and just say, “whatever, let’s just call him, I’ve got his cell phone number.”[/quote]

[quote=davelj][quote=UCGal]I’ll admit I watch this show – it’s a total trainwreck. Teresa said, while the house was being built, “I could never live in a house that someone lived in before me – that’s ICKY.”
[/quote]

In a similar vein…

While I’ve only seen the show a few times (no, really!), I recall seeing a few episodes of “My Sweet 16” when it first aired a few years back. This show tracked (or tracks, it may still be on) wealthy 16-year old girls planning their Sweet 16 party. One of the shows I saw actually took place in La Jolla. But I digress… so I watched one episode in which the father was going to buy whatever car his daughter wanted so they went car shopping. The daughter saw a white Range Rover, got inside, oohed and ahhed and said she loved it (it looked immaculate). The salesman then revealed that it was used (had 20,000 miles on it or something like that) and the girl was revolted. She said, “Ewwwwwwww” and jumped out of the car like it was going to give her leprosy. I laughed my ass off… and watched the rest of the show, of course. These folks were paying in excess of $500K for these parties and all I could think was, “These kids are miserable and will be forever miserable. It’s too late for them. Their lives are ruined.”[/quote]

Very sad commentary on the state of our society. Emptiness. Nothing there. It is pitiful.
