Don't watch much music videos, but this one has always been a favorite of mine.

 I have some great short films that i'll post when I have the time to find them.

It's not really a debate when one of the candidates refuses to answer the question being asked to them and instead recites something memorized and rehearsed within the past 24 hours over and over.

What time is the wedding going to be held?

Lights around bushes and trees are nice, also take hundreds and hundreds of the brides favorite flower pedals and scatter them everywhere.

also, hire a good photographer =D

Just be careful, running and treadmills can really screw up your legs. It's better to use ski machines or something similar where theres less impact on your system.

Caverlady, if I may... Why?

There are many things I don't like about Obama, but foremost I see him as an elitist and very much into his own superiority.

So what if he's an elitist, when did being "elite" become a bad thing? We're talking about the most powerful position in the world, I WANT the most powerful person to be an elitist. I want someone who is at the top to lead. I want someone smarter, more wordly, and all around better than the average joe to be president. Isn't this the definition of elite?

Too many people vote for a person just because they want to have a beer with them. It's not about that its about who's best for the job.

 She's serious about making a difference and helping the country, which is what every election is about.

The only problem is she has pretty much no experiance. Obama has been running for president longer than shes been a governer. And if they get elected she's just one breath away from being president. It's just not smart.

I try to watch the republican convention as much as I can, however I can only take small doses of republicans. I'm afraid if I hear too much of them at one time  i'll destroy my TV in rage.

Go for it, like I said in another post recently: You gotta live!!!

Congrats! You should feel very proud.

I never heard of that movement before.

I find it interesting that we're the only animals on the planet (to my knowledge) that have actually thought about making our own species extinct. It's so against nature.

I disagree with their statement about returning the biosphere to normal, we don't have to try to make our species extinct in order to do that. We already have the capability to do that. However there are good points about our resources diminishing, theres only so much of everything in this world.

But nature has ways or controlling that too through disease, natural disasters, etc.  One thing's for sure though, the human race is going to be around for a long time.

I just don't see what the big deal is. 

Fine guys,

Paint me as the bad guy.  Apparently i'm just a horrible person to have had voiced my opinion.

I'm extremely surprised at everyones attitude torward me on this forum. Instead of having a healthy debate I was met with sarcasm and disrespect.  I exprected more.  

This is exactly why things don't get done not only in New Orleans, but in this Country. You attack someone just because they have a different opinion.  

And that's why absolutely nothing is going to change.

So what you are saying is that it's alright to have the most vulnerable people live where they are most likely to get injured or killed in the event of a disaster. Then when a disaster happens, move all the vulnerable peple back to the same spot. That's even more reason to do something!!

Does this make sense to anyone else in here???  I'm being a critic because you HAVE to be a critic in order to see the flaws in the system and be able to change it for the better. Not just stick a band-aid on it.

Also, a house is a house. It's four walls which imeans absolutely nothing. What makes a home is the people who live in the house. The people you love.   Have you heard of the expression "home is where the heart is"?

Hey if they want to live there that's there business, but they shouldn't expect everyone else in the country to pay for their reconstruction. 

My tax dollars aren't going to disasters in tornado alley or earthquakes in California. Those people realize the risks and they've learned to deal with it.

They have also come up with ways to prevent casualties in the event that these natual disasters happen (ie buildings that sway in earthquakes) They don't rely on the federal government to bail them out.  Now if they want to live there and just have their own state pay for whatever reperations they may need that's completely fine with me, but I become a little angered when I have to pay for something thats just going to get destroyed again in a matter of a few years.
