Well said, in a world without white arsed, pasty faced old geezers, this would be the normal way of thinking for most of us, excluding the religious zealots of course, they deserves a planet of their own in my opinion. Pluto, the harsh red landscape of Venus maybe, wait a sec, Venus is my rising star, so no, not there. » Posted By Kalima On November 10, 2009 @ 6:34 pm Knitting isn’t a sin. » Posted By Kalima On November 10, 2009 @ 6:26 pm Guten Abend nicole! The most fanatical in any religion are the biggest hypocrites. They dress up in their Sunday best to be seen attending Church services and to be seen by others as being devout, then go home and beat up their wives and kids. These people make me heave, dry heave at that. » Posted By Kalima On November 10, 2009 @ 6:20 pm 😆 Your laughter is infectious! » Posted By Kalima On November 10, 2009 @ 6:14 pm LOL! What happened in London or Tokyo, stays in London or Tokyo. Are you having problems? 🙂 » Posted By Kalima On November 10, 2009 @ 5:59 pm I wasn’t even aware that they were being sent. Emails when new comments are added to an article that you have written yes, but a heads up on new posts,umm, I’ll have to be more alert in the future and stop my daydreaming of a better world for all or take more notice of AdLib’s emails to me. » Posted By Kalima On November 10, 2009 @ 5:55 pm Mind boggling really, the brain washing of so many, when Jesus himself was only a humble carpenter and hated what so many stand for and claim as their very own. » Posted By Kalima On November 10, 2009 @ 5:48 pm Goodnight javaz, rest well. » Posted By Kalima On November 10, 2009 @ 5:35 pm I have to laugh at the blue eyed, blonde haired paintings and drawings because I saw an interesting documentary a few years back where the documentarian gave his candid views about how Jesus would have looked. Fundies, hold on to your Bibles for your lives. He wasn’t that tall, had dark almost black hair, was browned eyed and wait for it, brown skinned. Jesus was also a Jew, something your extremist Fundies choose to forget. There was a drawing of how experts believed Jesus really looked throughout the film. It was extremely interesting to watch. The documentarian based his conclusion on remains found dating back to this time and in this area of the country, he obtained the data through experts who construct facial features from the bone structure of the individual’s skull » Posted By Kalima On November 10, 2009 @ 5:33 pm Yes HITO, so true. » Posted By Kalima On November 10, 2009 @ 5:19 pm Hi KK, thank you and I look forward to reading what you have to say on Friday. » Posted By Kalima On November 10, 2009 @ 5:18 pm I agree about the Church’s decline and the unrecognized work that women have always done for the Church. The nuns I have known were all pleasant, dedicated and hard working women, I have no horror stories to share. My father who had been active as a volunteer in our local Church, suffered a stroke in 98, he could no longer offer any help. The Father then, came to visit him often, the new one who later took over the Parish never visited once. A nun, Sister Anthony, in poor health and surely in her 70’s, comes like clockwork every Wednesday to administer Communion to my father. Snow, hail, thunderstorms or the typical gale force wind that are usual in England, wouldn’t keep her away. Yes women do the most work, then again, haven’t we always? » Posted By Kalima On November 10, 2009 @ 5:16 pm Yes that pretty well sums up how I feel as well. I try to be a good person, help people when I can and never cause any harm to another human being or living thing. It has served me well in my life so far. » Posted By Kalima On November 10, 2009 @ 4:46 pm Oh sorry, I was so mad that I forgot to say hi everyone, so Hi everyone. » Posted By Kalima On November 10, 2009 @ 4:30 pm When I read that this outrageous amendment had passed the other day, I could feel my heart drop. As a woman who has had to abort due to the viability of the fetus and lost a baby son the year before in part to a very intrusive procedure concerning my underlying health problems, I object strongly to anyone, especially a man, deciding what women can and can’t do with their own bodies as if we were cattle. It’s always ignorant men who decide for us. A few weeks ago I shared a story about a woman who was told that they wouldn’t insure her unless she volunteered to be sterilized, wtf, this is 2009. Reading this made my blood boil and I’m glad that SEIU made it public knowledge. What is the matter with these people, do women get pregnant by themselves? I was born into a RC family, attended a school run by nuns until I was 9, went to Mass every Sunday and have tried to be a good caring person, then I grew up and the shit hit the fan. The Churches stance on birth control and homosexuality became a fact for me, a fact that I couldn’t agree with. In my late 20’s I stopped going to Mass. Although when asked or sometimes filling out paperwork where the question about religious beliefs is required, I still list myself as a RC but the idyllic memories of walking down a huge hill holding both of my grandparents hands on the way to Sunday Mass are what they are, just memories. The Church, any Church has no right or business to interfere in politic and the government has no right over our bodies. Look how it works in countries like Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and countless other countries around the world, it’s pure poison. So this amendment has just managed to make women second class citizens once again, I wish that Stupak could become pregnant just once in his miserable one sided life and spit in his general direction, he is a TRAITOR. » Posted By Kalima On November 10, 2009 @ 4:26 pm Hey, who are you calling kids? 🙂 All the best and I hope that you get some quality rest. See you later. » Posted By Kalima On November 9, 2009 @ 7:49 pm Thank you so much for your offer javez, it means a lot to us. We realize that your use of the computer is limited and want to encourage you to just keep on writing more posts and whenever the opportunity arrives, pass on the word about the Planet. Thanks again! » Posted By Kalima On November 9, 2009 @ 5:04 pm Oh my core belief don’t ever change, it’s who I am but decision about changes in my life do and I’m my own worst enemy at times. » Posted By Kalima On November 9, 2009 @ 4:42 pm Oh I don’t know about that KQ, I fight with myself on a daily basis, got the bruises and black eyes to prove it. If you want me to send you a recent pic, I will. » Posted By Kalima On November 9, 2009 @ 4:32 pm No probs, I was in and out like a rocket. They never even knew that I was doing a speedy “lurking” thingy. » Posted By Kalima On November 12, 2009 @ 12:25 am Thanks escribacat, yes I should imagine a lot of things were covered up but the Japanese had their own local photographers record many scenes and the photos displayed in the Hiroshima War Museum were so horrific that I almost fainted, when I got back to our hotel I couldn’t sleep because the same question was churning in my head, “Who could ever do this to another human being?” The images are still sometimes clear in my mind and everyone should see them and the stories of what the badly burned survivors had to endure for so many years after repeated surgery to let them get back into society. Some committed suicide after spending decades in darkened room, afraid to look in a mirror. Gosh, I just realized that the link sent me to that other dark place, I was in and out like Speedy Gonzales before my computer started to hiss. 🙂 » Posted By Kalima On November 11, 2009 @ 11:53 pm I’m sorry that you lost your father Patsy, I didn’t mean to sound contrary but being born in Germany, hearing stories from my grandparents and relatives, I understood their hatred of the dictator, it was wide spread over the country but people were just to afraid of spies and the SS to take matters into their own hands although some did, despite the danger. Also my husband is Japanese, I live here, so I might feel more strongly than others about this. Thanks for your reply. » Posted By Kalima On November 11, 2009 @ 11:36 pm Although I can understand your father’s feelings about the war, I just wanted to say that the ordinary Japanese and Germans were not to blame for what happened during the war. Japan changed radically during the occupation and many Japanese copied mannerisms, women changed their kimonos for western clothes, their hair and went out dancing at night and became somewhat Americanized, despite the fact that on the 6th of August 1945 in the early morning, America dropped it’s first atomic bomb on the sleeping men, women and children of this city, days later the same on Nagasaki. I have been here a long time, have visited Hiroshima a few times, encountered people who survived but suffered horrible surgery for their fight to live many years later and I have never heard a single bad word spoken about the American people or that they were to blame for any government decision. My family in Europe and myself, didn’t blame the American people for Bush’s blunder into Iraq, we blamed your government and the people who voted for him twice. » Posted By Kalima On November 11, 2009 @ 10:20 pm Wonderful but also heartbreaking story deygirl. The soldiers of this generation were fighters in every sense of the word and we thank the all. » Posted By Kalima On November 11, 2009 @ 7:44 pm How amazing to meet a relative in these stressful days of fighting for freedom. Yes when I think of these young kids, my father being one, he was 22 I think, and all without the latest technology, I have nothing but the utmost respect for each and every one. My father too was scheduled to go to Korea but it was cancelled at the last moment. » Posted By Kalima On November 11, 2009 @ 7:34 pm Hi KQ, my father’s story is in an earlier comment so I won’t repeat it but as I said in my first comment, he participated in “D” day in Normandy and has never really shared much of his experience with any of us. I believe he saw too many horrific things and by openly talking about it, would of course still remember it vividly. I learned long ago not to ask him question about this time of his life. » Posted By Kalima On November 11, 2009 @ 6:56 pm He could sit on Becky’s lap like a ventriloquist’s dummy, he certainly has the face for it. » Posted By Kalima On November 11, 2009 @ 5:53 pm I’m German born with a Swedish mother and a Estonian birth father. My mother remarried a Welshman and we moved to England when I was 9. At 19 I became a naturalized Brit, I’m not American I’m European, half of my family is in Germany. I met and married my Japanese husband in London and we came here one year later because my husband wanted to try to start his own business. We have been here in Tokyo ever since. » Posted By Kalima On November 11, 2009 @ 4:44 pm Thanks for sharing javaz. Your fear of Europeans hating Americans was unfounded, it was never about the people, only about your government. Yes Georgie and his gang of dictators certainly showed their ignorance and I knew that many Americans would be appalled and embarrassed by most of the things that happened on Bush’s watch after 9/11. I was in Tokyo and installed cable as soon as I got the first news about 9/11 and watched the build up to the invasion of Iraq on CNN and the BBC in a state of wordless horror. I’m glad that you eventually had a good time there and have happy memories to keep. » Posted By Kalima On November 11, 2009 @ 4:15 pm There are so many horror stories about civilians during wars and I have always hated the euphemism “collateral damage” it seems so cold and heartless when in reality it is the slaughter of innocents. How interesting that your family lived in France, how long were you there? » Posted By Kalima On November 11, 2009 @ 3:38 pmComments Posted By Kalima
A Planet producing a lot of foul smelling gas would be perfect.
