I thought it was very good. And definitely a poem. thanks. my mind is slowly dying why? now you sound like me. *other than that, keeps mouth shut with Horatio* :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

The draft... and the reasons for your thinking? Saddam should not have been hung... why? Martyrdom? There is no point to it and it brings danger and risk to those who participate. Also, it breaches the Convention of Human Rights as you are forced to do it, it effectively strips you of your free will. What if you don't want to do it? In France and Germany, then you have to do the alternative of community service, but why should you do that? If you want to join the army, or that the US Army needs more troops then there are more effective ways of enticing them to join than forcing in excess of 2 million high school children to spend time in the army. Why don't they call it "Operation Vietnam?" It would be rather fitting. He was tried for crimes against humanity. Is it not a crime against human life to forcibly take it away? There are also better ways to punish someone. A life time in the same cell, with the same grey, concrete walls can be much worse than a short drop and a sudden stop. Also, as you mentioned, it has instigated a huge amount of protests from the Sunni majority who are doing precisely the opposite to what the Shia dominated government wanted them to do. Rather than uniting Sunni and Shia Muslims, it has only served to drive them further apart. PS The programme I talked about called Spooks, if you remember, is being shown in the USA under the name MI-5 on A&E... whatever that is. I highly recommend you watch it if you have opportunity. Do your feelings about the draft just apply to the USA or would you like to include countries such as Israel, as well. LOL Are you against the death penalty in all cases, or just this one? Personally, solitary confinement would be rather brutal punishment, but then again, they might be afraid that the wrong group in power might pardon Saddam and let him free. No chance of that now. The television stations cut the broadcast short just prior to the actual act of hanging, so I cannot imagine why anyone would want to get on the internet to watch the whole thing. I believe I saw an episode of MI-5. LOL I will have to look for it again. But now... it is time for a cup of coffee.

that's because you sent them all down here!!!

Beautiful!!!

Let me know if your problem reappears. HampsterKing is still trying to fix the problem because there are a bunch of people who still can't get on. Yes, I still can't get on. The server only seems to be up after like, 10 PM (EST of course) and then by the next day it's down again. I will let HampsterKing know.

You're too critical of yourself.

That is exactly my question. I have missed everyone so much!!! It'd help if I could stay on the site for more than like 5 minutes. XD You need to go to the topic in the admin section, tell HampsterKing what kind of computer you are using, what kind of browser and spell-out in detail, exactly what is happening. There are a lot of people having problems and he cannot fix them unless someone guides him to the right place.

I have to disagree with you on one thing, I think you probably have a great knack for planning activities, it is just that you don't do it enough. As for the 'ever-elusive backpack'... I would keep them guessing. You could always venture out and ask Brianrietta or The Denzel for help, but I will let someone else tell you if this is a good idea or not. You should probably ask your parents what their guidelines are before you begin your planning. This way you will not go to too much trouble and then find out, they disagreed with you. As for us here... we will be planning to attend your online party on the 16th!!! Please put in your cake request early.

Interestingly, it has been cloudy with some sprinkles here.

I just got home from a party. >_> One that The Denzel invited me over to and it was kind of fun. But we got home before midnight else we turn into a pumpkin before all the drunk drivers go on a rampage and kill us while driving. So we only stayed for about 30 minutes. XD Glad to hear you had a good time, even though it was short.

I like this!!!

*starts to bring in the New Year with some coffee and hammie treats* *makes my resolution list * HAPPY HAMMIE NEW YEAR !!!!!!

Those are wonderful!!! HampsterKing needs to work out the problems first, and then he will be putting up some avatars. The kitties are soooooo cute and Alpha is beautiful!!! Thanks! Alright then, I shall be (im)patiently waiting. *is happy Jesusfreak has lots of patience* I just hope he can fix the board problems. The boards are very, very quiet. Too many people are having trouble and it becomes very frustrating. Yeah, I don't know. I'm not having any problems. I'm not having any problems since I cleaned my computer's cache.

It is really sad. I have been to that airport. It has been around for 75 years I believe. I do wish that flooring was in existence outside of my mind. LOL Hopefully, I can still find Happy Feet. TGHL is a Bond guy and probably wishes that they were showing the movie in England. It is sad. It's going to be developed into some adult living place. It's never going to work though, because the buildingd are going to sink into the ground. Very true.

There is a new type of flooring on the market, kind of like memory foam. It protects everything you drop. Easy on the joints too! And just in case you fall asleep on the floor, you don't feel awful and stiff when you wake up. You feel great and refreshed, just as if you had taken a nap on your bed. Great Stuff!!!! Had you had that flooring, your MP3 player would still be working. I do hope your mother feels better. What movie do you plan on seeing? I still want to see Happy Feet, but I am certain it is gone. This usually happens.

You dropped Jenny off at the Fire Department? Yup. She works there as an EMT on Friday nights. LOL. That explains it. LOL Sounds like you all had such a great time. Poor Ian being allergic to cats. There is a good side, you got some cold, fresh air every so often. LOL Yeah, it worked out okay though because the piano is on the front porch, so he played piano and talked about music until his fingers were too numb, and then we went back inside. Today was the last get-together at the airport, which is officially closed as of Jan. 1st. Everyone's really sad about it, because there aren't many good places to fly around here. :o :o Which airport are they closing? I always hate to see great general aviation airports close.

Are you sure she didn't say she had a few plans for tonight? But she could have replied to Arkcher's email, don't you think? Well, maybe she was busy and therefore couldn't. I'm sure she isn't trying to avoid arkcher. :rolleyes: Oh really. You don't seem convinced. xD Was I that obvious? LOL
