I lived in the county. The same way people from Collinsville don't live in Meridian simply because it is in the same county.

Warren County, Mississippi - Since I am not from a town I had to look up my Census Tract. Pop. 3,636

Poland is on my list of places to go before I die, along with Israel and Kodiak Island. Who is going to show me around when I get there?

Originally posted by: Duke87 Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereofquote> Yeah, that doesn't say "seperation of church and state." That actually says "we're not going encourage or prohibit a teacher, farmer, banker, etc.. from praying and excercising his religion freely." "seperation of church and state" wasn't made up until the late-1880s. You can't base arguements on made-up law.

Originally posted by: JayStimson Let's face it ... religions (almost all of them) have been resposible for more people suffering or dying (or both) than any other set of organizations in the history of man. quote> How are you defining "set of organizations"? That seems like a silly thing to say. Would you classify "absolutist or autocratic rulers" as a set of organizations? I would argue that they have caused far more suffering than the religions of the world. Especially considering the good that comes from religion, and the complete lack of good from absolutist or autocratic rulers.... How about "organized political parties". Let's see the hi-lights of what they are responsible for... Soviet Great Purge: 20 million Nanking Massacre: 30,000 killed - 80,000 raped - 1/2 the city burned... "Witnesses recall Japanese soldiers throwing babies into the air and catching them with their bayonets. Pregnant women were often the target of murder, as they would often be bayoneted in the belly, sometimes after rape." (gonna be tough for "religion" to top that one.) Great Leap Forward: 25 million Srebrenica Massacre: 8,100 Thebes Massacre: 7,000 Nika Riots: 30,000 Herat Massacre: 1,600,000 1st Armenian Massacre: 300,000 2nd Armenian Massacre: 1,800,000 Polish Extermination: 1,900,000 Kanto Massacre: 6,000 La Mantaza: 30,000 Sook Chig Massacre: 100,000 Manila Massacre: 100,000 Wola Massacre: 50,000 Rwandan Genocide: 1,000,000 Romanies Genocide: 800,000 Hitler's extermination against non-religious "enemies: Disabled: 300,000 Communists: 100,000 Gays: 25,000 Bleiburg Massacre: 300,000 228 Incident: 30,000 Novogorod Massacre: 100,000 Sept. 30th Massacre: 1,000,000 .... and I have gotten tired of typing. The point is, religion isn't what is wrong with this world.

Originally posted by: thisisourcity1 All reports of people shooting helicopters were just rumors. ABC had interviewed one of the pilots. This is what happens in american media, lol.quote> I searched for proof of this statement, but couldn't find any. I did, however, find many news reports that it did happen. I was wondering if you had a link to the story that claimed the story was actually a rumor.

Originally posted by: fire_bird I don't like South Park either.quote> Add me to that list. South Park is boring.

The North Mississippi Allstars

You also need to be aware that the entire movie is B.S. Several people have done experiments showing that McDonalds is not the cause of his weight gain. One man actually lost weight eating nothing but McDonalds by simply getting Diet Coke instead of regular. His weight went from 160 to 151 on the McDonalds "diet": Link Here's another website designed to reveal the truth about the film: Link McDonalds may taste like crap, but it gets a bad rap for being less healthy than a hundred other foods and drinks that we let of the hook.

I don't have an iPod, either, but I do have a XM MyFi and it is fantastic. I like it much better than iPods.

Originally posted by: The Terminator Listen to "Microminature love" by Michael Yonkers.quote> I previewed that song on iTunes... pretty weird.

Originally posted by: Praetorian Cohort You could also try a CD of the ocean. I believe they sell them, and other nature-related CDs, at Target.quote> Yeah, I have one of those "rain" ones. It's good. I also listen to my Master and Commander CD a lot. Just thought maybe I would try something new.

I'm trying to DL some songs from iTunes that are good for going to sleep. I mostly try to use the score from movies. Any suggestions of good, slow movie songs without words?
