TUG-OF-WAR OVER A SEXUAL DIVIDE What is "age appropriate" sex education for 5-yr-old children? In our Brittney Spears world, where innocence wrapped in seduction is sold as "sexy" and where sexuality lines have been all but erased, we shouldn't be shocked to hear high school students were used by educators and Planned Parenthood to lobby for "sexuality" education. If they really wanted to give their legislators a clear picture of just what they were lobbying for, the teens should have brought along their little brothers and sisters. After all, the "comprehensive, sexuality education" the teens were begging legislators for begins...

AMMAN, Jordan (Nov. 12) -- King Abdullah II called for a global fight against terrorism Saturday as Jordan acknowledged for the first time that al-Qaida in Iraq used three foreign suicide bombers to attack Amman hotels, killing 57 others.

Dear Caroline, Kraft Inc. is sponsoring the upcoming Gay Games in Chicago. I want to show you what Kraft proudly supports. But before I do that, you need to read what Marc Firestone, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Kraft Foods Inc., said in refusing to cancel their sponsorship. "Diversity is more than a word many people like to say. At Kraft we truly respect all kinds of differences. And diversity is not a selective concept. By definition, it's nothing if not inclusive. We respect diversity of ethnicity, gender, experience, background, personal style and yes, sexual orientation...

As a Christian Freeper, I am wasting my time as I follow each Terri thread, rather I should be praying for GOD WILL BE DONE. I am guilty as many others judging Terri's husband, his lawyer,Judge Geer and our congressmen who wish to see Terri die.In the end the "Lord's Will" will be done" Not mine, not yours, but "OUR LORD'S"! Mean while I wasted my time, as others here have, throwing slurs and ill wishes towards those I don't agree with, including some very dear Freepers. I should have been praying! Praying that "OUR LORD"S WILL BE DONE!Praying that...

A Ventura County Superior Court judge threw out a case that could have sent a convicted child molester back to prison, because the victim has since died. Judge Bruce Clark dismissed the charges against Jack Sobonya, 54, formerly of Oxnard, after ruling that the case violated the statute of limitations for sexual assault. The videotaped victim – then about 3 years old - shown being molested by Sobonya was killed last year in an automobile accident. Prosecutor Patrice Koenig asked that the judge allow the victim’s family to file charges on her behalf, or to allow the videotape to be...

Max is our dog. He is a cream-colored miniature poodle, one of a breed that is believed to be high on the canine intelligence scale. We consider ourselves fairly intelligent, too, so we often enhance our efforts at communicating with Max. At times it appears that Max is trying hard to communicate with us as well. This occurs mostly when there is something specific he wants but his human housemates are just not comprehending his request. The scenario goes something like this: Max approaches one of us, stares us straight in the eye, and waits. We usually begin with the...

President Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin offered conflicting assessments of democracy in Russia on Tuesday, just two days before they are to meet at a summit for discussions about global security issues and the fight against terrorism. At a news conference with European Union leaders in Brussels, Belgium, Bush made clear his intention to challenge Putin on recent actions, including restrictions on the press and Moscow's treatment of neighboring Baltic countries, that U.S. officials view as harmful to democracy there. "A constructive relationship allows me to remind him that I believe Russia is a European country and European countries...

SCHOOL LIFE THREATENING TO GAYS? HATE CRIME HOAX! Homosexual Activists Create a Crisis for Political Gain SAFE ZONES It is high time the moral framework of our society squarely confronts the deceptive propaganda that is being spread throughout our community regarding school safety for gay teens. The implication that an epidemic of crime is being perpetrated against people because of their sexual "orientation" is simply a ploy to gain sympathy and political momentum for the gay right movement. The facts are that there is NO epidemic of crime going on or a need for so-called school "safe zones" for fanatical...

I was telling my son about the band who was shot at a week or so ago, but couldn't remember their name.

Holiday Tips -Take Care of Yourself First-Join the Discussion "After enjoying sobriety for a few years I realize how many holidays I wasted, drinking in bars, drinking in the kitchen and becoming too drunk to join the family for dinner!" Magic I lived with the book "Living Sober" for seven years. It offered me very helpful suggestions in some very tricky situations. I learned that no one cares if I'm drinking or not and that "what" I carried in my glass was rarely noticed by anyone. At first I had the usual questions and fears about social activities like, what...

OBSCENE ON TV! FCC OK with sexual content on tube Group hammers agency that allowed language newspapers rejected. A television watchdog group is hammering the Federal Communication Commission for refusing to take action against two networks for featuring sexually graphic content on TV shows. The Parent Television Council, or PTC, says the content is so explicit that when it submitted an ad including the language to major newspapers, all publications rejected it. According to a statement from the group, PTC members filed complaints with the FCC about the content of FOX's "Keen Eddie" and the WB's "Off Centre" in 2003,...
