Hi Sichuan,

I just wrote and article that I think is pretty good and I'm trying to get some support for it on Newsvine and thought I would send it to my friend list first. Please stop by and comment on it, if you get the chance. Thank you (oh, and take the poll too)

Thank you

Sincerely,

B.L. Frazer(NYC)

Sichuan:

You are correct that Iran and her ruthless group of Persians have

been beaten in the past. Ask Alexander The Great, he accomplished it. He

was a Macedonian in Ancient Greece. Everyone remembers Alexander I,

and now everyone will have the pleasure of remembering the Allied

Forces, or perhaps our faithful Israeli war maching whom are frothing

at the bit to relieve Iran of everything negative that that country stands

for. Sanctions never accomplish anything, except to create a hardship for

the common people, but the masses have to suffer, and rightfully so,

because they do not have the wherewithal to rid their country of their

dictatorial oppressors. It is too bad that the Germans, during World War

two did not have the wherewithal to get rid of Hitler, but the tiny country

of Viet Nam stepped up to the plate and booted the United States and her

Allies, out, I am sorry to say, out of their country. It takes guts to revolt,

and therefore, I have noticed in the political agendas in the Middle East, the

ONLY entity that has any semblance of the word "Guts," are our Jewish

friends in Israel. Perhaps the Jews are God's chosen people, afterall.

Perhaps God has waited until this day for Israel to wipe the slate clean,

and bring peace to the Middle East. What say thee, everyone?

I got on and read some of your posts -- actually quite thought-provoking; I also posted a response to 'stella777' on the Kennedy story. I would be interested to know what made you apply to be my 'friend' as I haven't seen any of your comments on the stories I have commented on.
I look 4ward to hearing from you.

conservative democrat- thanks for the friend invite. If we keep learning, connecting and caring for our world, country, state, and community, good things will happen. The vine is a great place to share ideas. angela

When I was a youngster, I was taught that sex was dirty and sinful. We're gone from that point to "anything goes" in today's society.

I think it's sad that we've been such poor stewards of something so beautiful. God made both man and woman. And, I find it difficult to believe that he made anything that is dirty or vulgar. Parents are the ones that should teach their children to understand and respect their bodies. Teach them how precious and beautiful the sexual union is meant to be between a man and a woman. Without sex, the human race would die out.

We have become so permissive in today's age that it is little wonder that these youngsters are sending such pictures via their cell phones. Nor is it any wonder that we have violence running rampant in our society. Take a good look at the movies, magazines, books, electronic games, and so forth. They are all filled with sex, drugs, and violence. We have gone on a drunken binge with them and money. The children cry because they don't have the latest designer clothes, the most up-to-date computer games, cell phones and so on. And, the parents give in and give them everything. It has come to the point that we are advertising and saying "It's all about me!" Me, me, me, mine, mine, mine.

Whatever happened to moderation, self control, discipline, and morals? The current state of our country (and the world in general) clearly shows what gluttony, greed, promiscuous behavior, self-centered and selfish attitudes have done. It's long past time to sober up and realize that such things do not provide happiness. Giving of one's self is far more fulfilling and gratifying.

As to the shenanigans of these youngsters, I say they should be tarred and feathered and then burned at the stake! Ridiculous? Yes it is - they are experimenting with life, a natural sequence of events in the growing and maturing process. To convict them of child porn is ridiculous. The parents and the whole village should hang their heads in shame for their failure to give their children the time, love, and attention they need. Many will say, "I do give them my time - all of it." "I drive them to their dance and music lessons, soccer games, football practice, baseball games, shopping, everything." The problem here is that they (the parents) are getting their children too involved in too many activities. Whatever happened to family time? Meals together as a family, going to church, synagogue, temple, whatever. Teaching our children how much fun it is to help others that are less fortunate. Helping that little old lady or gentleman with chores that they can no longer do. Organizing food drives, fund raisers and so forth to assist the homeless.

Most people probable don't know (and, even worse, don't care) that Mother Teresa was born to an extremely wealthy family. As a young lady, she gave it all up for a life in poverty in which she could assist others. She had a life far more fulfilling than anything money could have bought her.

Let us all sober up from the years of excess and take a new direction that will return our nation to its once great status!
