Biden on McCain

gewcew23 @gewcew23 (8007) • United States 24 Aug 08

Barack Obama might want to rethink his choice in Joe Biden. When you have friends like Biden who needs enemies. On a post-debate appearance on MSNBC, October 30, 2007, Biden said “The only guy who’s qualified to be President is...

TantrooM During his first speech accepting the VP position in Springfield, Biden said that the John McCain he had been friends with, the Maverick, had changed to support the very things he once stood against. Thus that overrides his support of McCain previously, so he...

is learning C still important now a days?

arcenal @arcenal (171) • Philippines 19 Aug 08

on my previous discussions, many are telling me that C isn't important now a days. Those higher level languages are more important and those languages should be taught at school. Some also say that it is not necessary to learn C....

TantrooM Even if Java is based off of C they are different. What was C based off of? What was that language based off of. You go further back up the chain until you reach machine code, which isn't easy at all, and would be as much fun as a root canal. The farthest back...

Where are the War Protestors?

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 13 Aug 08

Terrorists hit Kobar Towers, the USS Cole, The Marine Barracks in Beirut and drown and innocent man in a wheelchair and the war protestors are silent. Russia and Georgia go to war, the war protestors are silent. Why is...

TantrooM If you mean US protesters, it's mainly because you can say stuff, but at the end of the day Russia's government is not represented, or paid for, by their tax dollars. All we can do is tell our government to tell their government they are wrong, and take steps...

My State Is trying to BAN my DOGS!

tlb0822 @tlb0822 (1410) • United States 10 Aug 08

The state of Pennsylvania is passing a law that will allow counties to ban large breed dogs. And people who refuse to get rid of their large breed dogs will have to pay taxes on them. WHAT? It's just another way for the government...

TantrooM What I would do is get together the "Pittsburg Large Breed Dog Meetup Group", along with other owners and pay a visit to the John Galloway residence. Everyone walk around his block with a large breed dog with signs and noise and the whole works. It'd be a...

I Had a Chat With God, and This Is What He Said.................

Sparks @sparkofinsanity (20471) • Regina, Saskatchewan 8 Aug 08

BLOODY RIGHT I'M WEEPING! And then we shared a good laugh. The other day I started (probably as unwisely as this one lol) a little thread making my feelings known about the hyprocisy of some Christians. I didn't go on and on...

TantrooM When it comes to Christianity I tend to follow the 10 commandments first, and the rest is secondary. However, as noted by the first commenter "The Golden Rule" is very close. You could say that all but one commandment is simply an extension of that rule. You...

The right to vote

clrumfelt @clrumfelt (5490) • United States 7 Aug 08

Currently in the USA, convicted felons who serve time behind bars also forfeit their right to vote in elections. Lots of politicians would like to see theserights restored to ex-felons, claiming that it disproportionately targets...

TantrooM Of course a felon shouldn't have the right to vote, while they are in jail. Then we'll have elected officials promising pardons left and right. As for released and have served their time to society, I believe they should have the right to vote, with the...

Do You Still Feel God's Presence?

mjmlagat @mjmlagat (3170) • Philippines 7 Aug 08

TantrooM I agree with you on the point that it still is hard, and always will be hard. Human beings are tested day to day, without struggle, there would be nothing to weigh judgment upon. God needs to test our will, our strength, our courage, and our intellect when...

Obama Is Just Like You And Me

gewcew23 @gewcew23 (8007) • United States 30 Jul 08

How Can You Be Against The Death Penalty But Be For Abortion?

gewcew23 @gewcew23 (8007) • United States 28 Jul 08

The other day I talked to a person that was against the death penalty. Just to set the table I am for the death penalty, just if you were wondering. I ask these person if they were for Pro-Life, and I got a no. So I asked why, the...

TantrooM It is an interesting thing... however there is an opposite side to this coin... people who are anti-abortion, yet pro death penalty. The debate of abortion stems not from "Is it ok to kill?" it comes from. "When does a life start?" And ironically...

Friendship on internet

Through a lot of sites - one of them mylot - we make friends. There are some friends we get quite attached to. But how much would you share your secrets with an online friend. How much would you trust them? Is there any attachment...

TantrooM Making friends online is no problem, however, sharing your secrets is a bad idea in case things do go south. You should know the person very well first, and that can take years. You'll know when the time is right to reveal certain things, always wait for their...

TantrooM I have lived on my own for 2 weeks and I made it just fine, but then again I'm not really an outgoing type. But even being by oneself for that period of time can be pretty daunting. I think that getting something to keep you company, like a pet, would not be a...
