Yesterday at 1:30pm I lost my mother. I wish I could say that I was prepared to lose my mother, but I wasn't. I wish that I could say that I am handling this with grace and dignity, but I can't. Yesterday I lost my mother...

fiona08 Oh, Ivaldean, I am so very sorry. I don't think any of us are ever ready to let go of someone we love so dearly. I know it will take a long time for this to stop hurting so intensely. I am certain that she knew she was the mother of your heart. From watching...

fiona08 I'm envious, Annie. I have never been involved officially in a campaign. I feel like I am spread too thin right now to volunteer, being a fairly newly single parent, working and taking classes. I would love to do it in the future. You go girl! Very exciting to...

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 27 Oct 08

fiona08 I do think racism is rampant in this campaign. We have all heard people raving about whether Obama is actually a US citizen, because his father is Kenyan,and freak out about his name because it sounds Arabic. I mean, my God, his middle name is HUSSEIN! He has...

miraclefreebies @miraclefreebies (3043) • United States 25 Oct 08

OK the law has changed, and everyone is required to have one word tattooed on their forehead. I'm not sure what reason, I just woke up one morning and everyone I seen had only ONE word tattooed to their forehead. YIKES! That...

fiona08 I guess I would put the word HUMANITY. There are so many things you could use a tattoo on the forehead for. You could advertise, you could make people smile, you could provoke people, you could describe yourself, or you could remind people of something they...

fiona08 I don't think this particular incident will have much to do with McCain losing his quest for the Presidency. People understand that this woman was at the very least, an attention seeker, and likely a very sick woman. She really doesn't have much to do with...

The Question Hillary Asked Still Needs To Be Answered!!

rodney850 @rodney850 (2145) • United States 25 Oct 08

The difference between John McCain and Barack Obama in leadership experience and foriegn policy experience is different as night and day. Why then would we as a country give the keys to the family car to a "teen" just learning to...

fiona08 I want someone who is calm and unshakable. We have seen in the last few months, that that would not be McCain. He has become erratic, to say the least. He has a temper he can't even contain during a short, on camera, period of time. What is he going to do when...

Idiotic thinking

mojcica @mojcica (1511) • Slovenia 25 Oct 08

fiona08 This is a tough situation, indeed. I think if I were you, I would take a chance and talk to Sue. She might feel really horrible if she let's Jen go through all this on her own. I would just tell her you need to talk to her. Without putting her on the...

Political discussion of the upcoming election

fiona08 I am answering this directly from my email link, so I don't know what others have said here. I don't think it is a huge deal that our money says "In God We Trust", except that it may be a big deal to other citizens. I don't think we should force the idea of...

First of all, I hope everyone takes this discussion as it's intended to be, which is sunny and bright and at least in part tongue in cheek. In other words, it's not meant to cause a pi$$ing fight about links or sources or who's...

Do you think that McCain has made a good or bad choice in selecting Debra Palin?

sharone74 @sharone74 (4837) • United States 1 Sep 08

Obviously Governor Palin has issues and baggage of her own that she is bringing to this election just like the other candidates do. It appears that McCain's choice of Palin for his running mate is primarily based on her being a...
