I've changed my mind.
« on: June 10, 2008, 06:07:26 PM »
I've decided to become a contributing member if it's okay with certain people here. It's important that people know that I'm not all about a certain subject.

My name is Lanie. I'm seeking special education licensure because I want to teach and it's in really high demand. I also think that those who have disabilities can be empowered in ways that most don't realize.

I'm a Catholic. Go to mass once a week. Everytime I'm in the bookstore, I normally seek out the religious material. I particularly like Max Lucado and Joyce (can't remember her last name). I have no boyfriend, but open minded to guys who doesn't go at 90 mph.

I like to take afternoon walks, but it's getting dangerously hot lately.

Okay.

Happy Upcoming July 4th. Our country is still one of the best in the world.

I could say the same thing about them and *my* friends, but they wouldn't listen.

I second Freedumb's post.

By all means, contribute to CC. We welcome it. And the rest of you need to take her at her word until proven otherwise.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

You're welcome at CU, gidget, go over there and play with gator.

Given the hours of fun I have had with TNO, I suggest not to be so hasty.

Nah. Hell is still pretty hot.  :fuelfire: :naughty:

But we're better than the baseless accusations hurled our way. This isn't an echo chamber. Who needs to cut people off at the knees when we have the facts on our side? I don't speak for everyone but I'd like to think that we're not afraid of a little debate. Liberals, trolls, and hit & run posters weed themselves out if they don't break the rules and get tossed.

What are the rules? I read a post from WE saying "No rules, I hate them" or something.

Lanie - the rules were posted when you first registered here. There are also forum-specific rules and guidelines for posting stickied in the pertinent sections.

Here's a cut and paste -
Quote
You agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, adult material, or otherwise in violation of any International or United States Federal law. You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless you own the copyright or you have written consent from the owner of the copyrighted material. Spam, flooding, advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are also forbidden on this forum.

Note that it is impossible for the staff or the owners of this forum to confirm the validity of posts. Please remember that we do not actively monitor the posted messages, and as such, are not responsible for the content contained within. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information presented. The posted messages express the views of the author, and not necessarily the views of this forum, its staff, its subsidiaries, or this forum's owner. Anyone who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to notify an administrator or moderator of this forum immediately. The staff and the owner of this forum reserve the right to remove objectionable content, within a reasonable time frame, if they determine that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, please realize that they may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately. This policy applies to member profile information as well.

With this user account you are about to register, you agree to never give your password out to another person except an administrator, for your protection and for validity reasons. You also agree to NEVER use another person's account for any reason.  We also HIGHLY recommend you use a complex and unique password for your account, to prevent account theft.

After you register and login to this forum, you will be able to fill out a detailed profile. It is your responsibility to present clean and accurate information. Any information the forum owner or staff determines to be inaccurate or vulgar in nature will be removed, with or without prior notice. Appropriate sanctions may be applicable.

We still allow TNO to post here, so there obviously aren't many rules.

We approach the "I wouldn't be in a club that would have me as a member" event horizon.

Empowered?

Everybody likes to feel that they can do things for themselves. I once heard this story discussing this man who was in an institution his entire life. They didn't think he could learn anything. But somebody did think he could learn letters and sounds. So he worked with him to find ways he could learn it. One day, the instructor tried to get this man to spell something. He wouldn't spell that particular word, but he spelt out "thank you". I realize that story is rare, but it made me cry. Okay, me sensitive. Later.
