My point on this is mainly regarding the post on gun control.  I posted my arguments not wanting to get personal and then posted that the main reason I have such an issue with it is because my best friend was killed with a gun then I stopped posting, yet people kept attacking. The only "negative" thing that I have posted on this site is that I think killing for sport is disgusting.

4theloss... you think that I am posting negative comments on this site? Have you actually looked through my posts? Instead of referencing one post where we disagree on an issue maybe you should look through my others. You're also the one that wrote  "So, one 8 year old kid died. Big whoop." Are you maybe just attacting me on this post because I didn't agree with you on gun control?  Whether you said that for shock or not... lame thing to say.

You just proved my point!  "If a guy comes into your house and points a gun at your head..." EXACTLY why guns are terrible and people cannot be trusted with them! They are a useless thing! As for population control, I am all for hunting a with a bow and arrow (my brother and my father do this).  Guns aren't the only thing you can use to hunt.  At least with a bow, you have to have a certain strength to use it (no child would be able to use a hunting bow) and it would thus be limited to adults.

And how many people honestly have a gun somewhere in their house where it would be readily available if someone broke in?! And honestly, how often does that happen?! I feel like you are only making arguments for guns in rural settings.  What about gangs and drug dealers in the city?

Hmm... I love the people who are all about the second amendment.  Please, take a look at what our country was like when that was written and let me know how it compares to our country now. I cannot think of one person who needs to own an uzi or any other gun that is a civilian.  The sole purpose of a gun is to kill... why would a "civilized" country need something like that?

They were planning on shooting 88 black people, decapitating 14 and killing Obama as their "final act"

Disgusting!

Edit: 88 people total (14 of which would be beheaded)

I love Avenged Sevenfold and Disturbed.  Anything by these guys gets me pumped!

Don't feel too bad... I did the same exact thing today.  Yesterday I was great and today I sucked.  I have been trying to eliminate all sweets from my diet and it just isn't working for me.  I crash at about 3pm and binge on sweets for the rest of the night.  I think I am going to try to incorporate something sweet into my early morning snack (fruit is like candy to me so I plan on eating that).  Lately I have been binging on ice cream and i don't even like it that much.  I know that I have been restricting myself too much.  1200 calories a day when you are up for 18 hours a day is way too little.  Try adding some things into your diet at times you are prone to binge or go for a walk instead.  If you need someone to talk to, I'm here and I am def in the same boat;)

Good luck and stay positive!

My sister is at the army base in Fairbanks, AK (where her husband is stationed but is now in Iraq) and she said that  the majority of people in Alaska regret voting her into office.  Pretty much sums it up for me... if people aren't happy with the way you run a state, I do not want you being VP for the country!

I started cutting back on carbs last week.  I basically eat oatmeal and yogurt for breakfast and some fruit for snacking but try to eat protein and veggies the rest of the day.  I have found that I feel so much less disgusting and sluggish!  I used to go to bed feeling bloating and uncomfortable but now that is all gone and the bloating in my belly is also gone.  I am not super strick about it and I plan on trying to stick to a 50% carb, 25% fat and protein diet as well as not eating after 7pm. 

It's helping me sleep better and the amount of water weight I have lost is incredible.  It looks like I lost 3 lbs from by stomach because I was so bloated from eating only carbs.

I would recommend eating carbs in moderation.  You def need quite a bit in your diet and if you slip up every once and a while it's okay but I have found that since most junk is really high in carbs, it makes you stay away from those things and thus inproving healthy eating.  Just make sure you get some whole grains in and good luck!

Thanks guys.. but the problem is that I am making 43k nannying and you just cannot do that in retail.  And I did the whole restaurant thing throughout college and I am so happy to be away from it.  UGH...

I know how you feel! My brother in law was just deployed to Iraq and he has a brand new baby with my sister who is only a month old!  He is going to miss the entire first year of his life.  I hate Bush!

I have REALLY dark circles under my eyes but I use Clinique Line Smoothing Concealer to hide them and it works wonders!  It doesn't get stuck in lines because it smoothes them out (i.e. line smoothing concealer).  It's also a little thicker than some others I've used so it hides more without looking thick.  It's only about $14 and you can get it as Sephora or any Macy's.  Make sure to ask which color would work best for you though so you don't go too light.  Good luck!

yeah, i don't get Shia either but I WISH that I looked like his Transformers co-star, Megan Fox!

Not that this has anything to do with the topic, but they predict that by the year 2100 (less than 100 years from now) 50% of the species of this earth will be extinct from global warming, pollution and habitat destruction.  Anyone who thinks of this as a natural thing is ignorant.  And although McCain may not agree with drilling in ANWR, he does support offshore drilling (where they are allowed to pump drilling fluid into the ocean, not to mention the risk of oil spills).

thanks peaches! I just thought it would be an interesting topic and wanted to hear what others thought who saw the episode:)

And just so we are clear, I am not complaining about people who are pro life, I am complaining about the people who think that a woman should not have the right to choose because of their beliefs.  A woman's body is her own and she should have the choice to do with it what she wants.  But feel free to rant;)
