Breastfeeding moms shouldn't be drinking coffee anyway Just kidding. (This is a bit off the subject) But I remember when my oldest was about 8 months old and my wife breast fed him after drinking coffee. About 1/2 after the feed he was rolling around on the bed squealing, not in pain but he was obvi
Loved this quote from the news story: The pair were derided in various news articles, described as animated condoms and mutants from a nuclear meltdown. Their names were co-opted by anti-Olympic activists, who promptly firebombed two government vehicles in F
Entirely agree, but I would go further and believe there should be laws to protect mothers rights to feed their children wherever they want. Apart from anything else it is a health issue. It has been proven by multiple studies how much more beneficial breast milk is than formula milk. I have two kids of 6 and 4 both breast fed. I am constantly hearing other parents say how often their kids get sick whereas my kids rarely do. I am convinced that this is
I always wondered about this as well as the other way. A lot of people enjoy blogging but those with sight impairment can not join in the fun.
Another good article. This is a many faceted issue. These days we lead a very fast paced existence and the 15 second sound bight is king. It is very hard to explain complex issues when peoples attantion spans for specific topics seem to be so short. Another aspect is the average person does not like 'unsolved' problems. If a politician stands up and says we have a problem, he will be unpopular. If he says we have a problem and here is the solu
People should be allowed to join any political party they want. Roger, on one hand I agree that, as long as an organisation is legal, then police officers should be allowed to join. The problem with the BNP is it is on the fringe. Yes it is legal but it is constantly under surveilance by groups such as the p
Sort of off topic and nit-picky: the opposite of pro-life is pro-choice, not abortion. Shades, I don't see this as nit-picky, it is a very important distinction.
I was under the impression that both "grey" and "gray" were acceptable spellings I always thought 'grey' was the English spelling and 'gray' was the American.
Angloesque, This is excellent. Many people see this world in 'black and white'. I have certainly been guilty of it at times and have written blogs on it, though more often than not I remove them afterwards. There are very few things in this world that are black and white. But other peoples attitudes affect our own. Say you see an issue on the whiter shade of grey, then you read an article which says the issue is black. Your immed
The American judicial system is founded on the concept of "innocent until proven guilty." Tell that to the inmates of Guantanomo Bay Now, before some of you jump down my thro
CS, Completely agree the self styled demi-gods are just a pain in the arse. Between inane chatter and ads there isnt too much time for music (and even then it just seems to get rehashed daily.) I preferred JJJ (at least they didnt have any ads) except when they seemed to get stuck on a genre I didnt like (such as hip hop.) <TD class="mb-Body-Quot
Okay, maybe i was harsh in my criticism of Draginol. No I do not think you were. When a blogger has to get nastily personal, as Draginol did, you know they have run out of arguments and ideas. Your reaction was understandable though I did feel you brought yourself down to his level by doing so.
1984 here we come.
Hmmm... remember Draginols post on how to be a good blogger? In it he said that you should only respond to a comment if you have something to say. Now I disagree with this. I reckon I reply to about 80-90% of all comments left on my blogs...eventually. Even if it is just to say thanks. I feel if someone takes the time to comment on what I write then the least I can do is acknowledge the fact. Usually the only exceptions are those who I feel are deliber
Thats because more never accuses anything. He just throws things out there to imply everything. I don't know, there was a couple of pretty straight forward questions during the first half of the film: Why were the Saudis, including Osama Bin Ladens brother who was in the US to meet with the Ca
The thing is, these allegations appear to be largely fabrications and exaggerations, and they have been crafted with the express purpose of landing a democrat in the White House. I have finally seen the film and Moore certainly makes quite a few accusations. I thought that much of the evidence is behind t
Very nicely said. Your father sounds like a great man. Is he still there to give you advice? I think good advice is the most valuable thing to a father. I have two boys of 6 and 4. The 6 year old is very difficult and every day I question whether I am doing the right thing by him. Am I making things better or worse? It can be very difficult at times but there is no shortage of love.
224, (now 225) excellent!!! Anyone know what the record is?
155 comments and counting. As a points whore I am picking up some tips about writing blogs. It seems to me that what this site really gets off on is itself.
And, Bakerstreet is right...promoting this kind of hate brings on a witch hunt that will ultimately do you no good. Isn't it funny how people see things. For me BakerStreet often makes his points by belittling and browbeating people...don't worry, I have said this to his virtual face.
she says it and I want to hit her in the face several times. Now that's a serious linguaphile.
Joseph, very good! If they win in Nov they'll have to find him some government job so that they stay together. If they lose they'll have to change it so that he can run for a third term.
Well, if diacritical marks aren't available, "aitch" is the most normal spelling you can give it I have no problem with that, I was using dictionary.com.
you like to get your point across by belittling those who disagree instead of discussing the topic. Yes, I too am finding this a very tiring trait. The last I knew it rarely works to change anyones mind by belittling and brow-beating them, it just creates animosity. I do not delete or blacklist but the
And the rest of us can only dream of such generosity.
