Answer...and a reply to Austin P
That wud…,
First off, let me congratulate you for raising the bar by asking a more substantial question than you had been posting in your “Can you” series. Some of your critics were perhaps a bit harsh, but I think you would admit that you set yourself up for it by asking the most mundane questions (e.g. “Can you salsa dance?...Can you cook?...etc”) Questions can still be simple without being mundane. Your present question is a case in point: simple but substantial.
Freedom of Speech is one of the fundamental freedoms in a truly democratic society. One of America’s most famous Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson, understood this and was so firm in his conviction that he would not ratify (sign) the US Constitution unless the delegates agreed to amend the document with what is called the Bill of Rights. The Delegates to the Constitutional Convention already had sufficient votes to create the Constitution, but Jefferson (and the Virginia colony) was among the most powerful voices in the new nation and the delegates knew that the new Government could not succeed without Jefferson’s blessing. They therefore agreed to add the Bill of Rights to the Constitution. The Bill became the first ten amendments to the Constitution and it grants, among other things, the guarantee of freedom of speech & press, freedom of assembly and freedom of religion. US History would look much different in the absence of these guarantees. Even with these guarantees many individual citizens and groups have struggled against those—including Government officials past and present (yes, Bush et al. right now!)---who would deny them what the Constitution guarantees them.
Those whom the people elect to represent them in Government have a sworn Constitutional duty to uphold the freedoms it guarantees. However, if the people are not ever vigilant, those in power will abuse these freedoms. As brilliant as the US system of “checks and balances” is, it cannot prevent abuses if the citizens are ignorant or asleep. Jefferson put forth certain maxims, among which was, “A people cannot be both ignorant and free.” What is particularly dangerous in the US is the fact that the mainstream news media are increasingly a part of the problem because they do not report the real abuses of freedoms by the government-sponsored commercial/mass media/ entertainment conglomerates. And if there is genuine Freedom of the Press, why don’t they report this? Because they are among the co-conspirators! Without going through a litany of examples, let me offer just one: Media mogul and right wing ideologue, Ruppert Murdoch (owner of Fox News, media of every type around the globe). Americans watch Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’ Reilly and think they are “informed.” They mistake propaganda for news. Rather than thinking for themselves, they are told what to think. They are the unwitting dupes of what Noam Chomsky calls “manufactured consent.”
By way of qualification, Freedom of Speech should not be confused with a license for bad manners or grossly irresponsible behavior. As a Supreme Court Justice (I believe it was Holmes) remarked in a case testing Freedom of Speech, “Freedom of Speech does not give a man the right to yell, ‘Fire’ in a crowded theatre.” For this reason I disagree with almost everything Austin P said above about freedom of speech. For example, he says, “I can say fuck and no one takes it the wrong way.” Nonsense! I agree, uttering the word may not result in arrest as a result of this Freedom, but the Freedom does not guarantee that if you insult someone, they will not “take it the wrong way.” To the point, Freedom of Speech is legislated; civility is governed by unwritten custom and as a general rule means treating your fellow man as you would like to be treated.

Okay alias....I'll keep it short
So you read my posts if they are short and leave if they are long? (I guess you're not a big fan of long Russian novels, huh? lol!) It's not entirely your fault. A short attention span is the condition of the age----even a psychiatric diagnosis: ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). So, I'll try to be brief and offer a carrot to keep your attention.
BRITTANY SPEARS FLASHES BUSH...NOT THE PRESIDENT....STAY TUNED FOR THIS EXCLUSIVE CC REPORT. BUT FIRST TWO QUOTES FROM "BORING" FRENCHMAN FROM THE 17TH CENTURY, FRANCOIS duc de LA ROCHEFOUCAULD
1) "We are invariably bored by those to whom we are boring."
2) "We are almost always bored by the very people by whom it is vital not to be bored."
I am sure La Rochefoucauld is right because: re: #1, I find you boring as well, though I would have kept it to myself had you not brought it up; and re: #2) I would be willing to bet you have never given much thought to "That wud's" question and that you would find Thomas Jefferson "boring." I challenge you to answer the question and prove me wrong.....BUT BACK TO THIS EXCLUSIVE CC REPORT ABOUT BRITTANY'S BUSH.

RE: Okay alias....I'll keep it short
melomane you have an inflated opinion of yourself(see your quote #2)& are a pompous windbag.
RE: Okay alias....I'll keep it short
Here we go again. So, you are OMG today, not Novids4me? Re: # 2, I was referencing Thomas Jefferson, not myself.
RE: Okay alias....I'll keep it short
not only a windbag but one with a fixation.i aint this novids dude you are refer to.LMAO im one of those who hate that sycophant.
RE: Okay alias....I'll keep it short
Nahh, not a fixation guy. It's simply that you have so much in common with him: same vocabulary; same writing habits; same arrogant presumption as self-appointed judge; same habit of using the forum to personally attack another member; same habit of not making a contribution to the discussion. No wonder you hate him. He reminds you of yourself.
RE: Okay alias....I'll keep it short
yep you are fixated.to make so many judgements about a name you know nothing about shows that.he has got under your skin to.
RE: Okay alias....I'll keep it short
I think OMG was referring to the La Rochefoucauld quote you used when he/she referred to #2 rather than the Thomas Jefferson one.As you say you agree with it it could be interpretted that what you are saying is that you feel it applies to your posts.I understand that may not have been what you meant.
RE: Okay alias....I'll keep it short
Your point is well taken. The first quote is unambiguous in how it applies here. Alias finds me boring; I find him boring. However, I should have qualified # 2. But even had I done so, OMG would have found some other reason to attack me personally. It's par for the course with self-appointed judges like him.
I was by no means suggesting it is "vital" for "alias" to pay heed to what I say, but I do maintain none of us---as members of a thoughtful citizenry---can afford to ignore thinkers like Thomas Jefferson. I don't say Jefferson is indispensible, but as a class, kindred thinkers from the past have lessons that we can ill-afford to ignore.

RE: Answer...and a reply to Austin P
I agree with most of what you say but I do disagree with your perception of the media. The “main line press” is reporting only thing that fit their agenda and if they can’t find a story to substantiate their view they have a tendency to make things up. You can not believe 100% of what either side says in the news; the truth is some where in the middle of both views and you having to sift through the entire BS to find it.
The FREEDOM OF SPEECH, I feel that it is a God given right but you also have the RESONPSIBILITY when you use that freedom. Most people in the USA miss use this right, like protesting the military’s policies of gays at the funeral of a fallen soldier , yes you have the right but not the proper place to protest.

RE: Answer...and a reply to Austin P
Slutpuppy,
The US Declaration of Independence reflects your view that Freedom of Speech is a God-given right. We are, in the language of the Declaration, endowed with certain "unalienable" rights, among which are "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." However, we must allow that atheists love liberty no less than theists.
I agree that these Freedoms should be used responsibly. There is such a thing as righteous anger and protest re: injustice, but one's moral position in such cases is best legitimated by expressing it in the right measure, at the right time and in the right place. And that does not always mean one should work WITHIN the system. If the "system" is the problem, there will be no allowance for the "right" time or place. That is where civil disobedience comes in. If you've not already read it, read Martin Luther King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail."
I would like to respond to your comment re: my view of the media. But first, I would like to ask you to clarify two points you made by answering the following:
1) What, in your view, is the media’s “agenda?”
2) You speak of the “two sides” and claim the truth lies in the middle. What are the
Two sides?

2) Liberal & liberal
2) Liberal & liberal
RE: Answer...and a reply to Austin P
I agree with your answer to #1, but it is only a part---albeit a major one---of the larger agenda. Clearly one of the principal aims of news organizations (print, TV, radio) is to earn a profit. Hard news is expensive to produce and its commercial appeal is limited. This is one of several reasons for news being buffered and repackaged with the unmistakable garb of feel-good entertainment. One need only look at the appointment of Katie Couric to replace Dan Rather on CBS!
All the major commercial television networks are owned by huge media/entertainment conglomerates. These conglomerates also own newspapers, magazines, book publishers, cable and satellite TV companies, radio stations, bookstores, Internet Service Providers, film studios, movie theatre chains, etc. The six largest are: 1) AOL Time Warner, 2) Disney, 3) Bertelsmann, 4) Viacom 5) News Corporation, 6) Vivendi Universal. Together they have revenues exceeding $100 billion per year. That buys a lot of influence in Washington. Two examples will suffice: Sen. John McCain sponsored legislation that changed US rules concerning media ownership, which allowed Viacom to buy CBS. Years before Congress changed the laws on behalf of Australian born Rupert Murdoch which allowed him to acquire certain US media outlets. Murdoch’s News Corporation is Fox TV’s parent company.
So, the larger agenda includes politics and ideology. These corporations have essentially bought the Government and they will brook no dissent from their commercial/political/ideological agenda.
I see you have bought into the conservative mantra that the media are liberal. Truth is, the media are status quo and largely centrist. The fact is there is no mainstream media voice in the US that is Left. Slightly left of center is about as far as it goes here (e.g. Washington Post). France has Liberation. UK has the Guardian, but there is no mainstream US newspaper that is genuinely Left. We do, however, have Right-wing newspapers (e.g. The Rev. Moon’s “Washington Times” and Rupert Murdoch’s “New York Post,” to name but two.)
If you control the media, you control public opinion. Commercial News organizations and the Government work overtime to tell people what to think. The frightening thing is that a significant majority of the American public believe the manufactured opinions are their own! The public does not get the truth from our media. It gets bromides, soporifics and maudlin tales of another movie star who has contracted a disease. And while the people are fast asleep, the tyrants exact their agenda. God help us!

RE: Answer...and a reply to Austin P
nope you got it wrong.i said the media is Liberal & liberal,not liberal.a very big difference.
RE: Answer...and a reply to Austin P
Okay, so you mean Liberal (in the traditional sense of the word) and "liberal", as in what is called "neoliberalism," i.e. arch-conservatism (and laissez faire Capitalism) ?
RE: Answer...and a reply to Austin P
i meant Liberal=conservative right wingers(call them what you want)& liberal=tree-huggers,bleeding hearts,left wingers(call them what you want)
RE: Answer...and a reply to Austin P
Thanks for clarifying. Truth is, the terms Liberal & Conservative have lost their original (and best) meaning.
many people confuse "Freedom of Speech"
The U.S. Constitutional right of Freedom of Speech is often confused and thought to be a license to say what you want where you want and how you want and you are absolutely protected.
The U.S. Constitution simply warrants that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Note that that means Camcontacts can do whatevrr it wants with the forums because Congress does not control the forums.

RE: many people confuse
Patriot, You are right, of course, about how people often misunderstand what the Constitution provides. As I said above, I believe it was Justice Holmes who said Freedom of Speech "does not give a man a right to yell 'fire' in a crowded theatre."
I'm sure you are not surprised by this. It is frightening how little many Americans know about how the Government works. Ignorance makes a people ripe for having their liberties abused. As Jefferson said, "A people cannot be both ignorant and free."
Another thing many people confuse is thinking that the Government is the Nation. The Government consists of the elected officials, appointed officials and civil servants working for the various branches of Government. The people are entitled, indeed have the duty to watch the Government and ciriticize those who have failed to do the duty that they are sworn to uphold, and it is bogus nonsense to accuse those who criticize elected officials, of a lack of patriotism. It seems to me, a true patriot is one who keeps vigil to preserve our liberties. A failure to do so is an open invitation to tyranny. And history has shown that "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrannts."

2. i get hit on or flirted with by more when i wore it.
3. i dont like wearing jewelry

single , married, bf, who cares? As long as I get my needs taken care of. if you are in amrriage category I understand your point, but in all the others categories I'm there for short term fun.
RE: isnt it funny
I'm from the US and never knew that this was opposite from us in Eastern Europe and Russia. But now I'm curious what else is different :) Is an engagement ring (usually a solitary diamond ring worth about 3 to 6 months of a man's salary) an important part of your engagement process? Is it inappropriate there for a man to propose to a lady without an engagement ring? And do you use an additional wedding ring (usually a plain gold band worn on the same finger as the engagement ring) during your wedding ceremony?
RE: isnt it funny
I have a ring on my left hand but its not a wedding ring lol) Even doesn't look like it(LOL)

RE: just want some opinions
if it was just on appearance it would only be a physical attraction so it could not be serious,i think.
RE: just want some opinions
I would certainly enter a relationship based on looks but if that's all there was it would soon fizzle out.
RE: just want some opinions
Anyone who thinks that most relationships dont begin with initial physical attraction is fooling themselves. It is a rare person who overlooks the physical and goes for something deeper. At least initially.
just ?
her looks? no she has to have other qualities and attributes, such as the ability to calm me down, be smart and strength of both mind an body.
RE: just want some opinions
Isn't that how most relations start out? You have to find something physically attractive about your future bf/gf. Then you can get into the emotional/intelligence aspects.
RE: just want some opinions
there's no such thing as a serious romantic relationship that doesn't begin with physical attraction.
RE: just want some opinions
disagree from personal experience - fell in love with a woman who'd been in a fire - looked awful but 10 minutes after talking to her, I forgot about the scars
RE: just want some opinions
she wasn't my nurse - lol - and it wasn't out of pity, it was sex appeal
RE: just want some opinions
A person may enter a relationship on good looks, but for it to enter the serious stage more then good looks must exist.
Offline hosts
Several times I have been in comm chat and been sent a pvt message by a host who presumably wants a video. On checking out their profile I see that they are showing as being offline and I was just wondering why you would be offline if you were looking for a video.I can understand a host being offline if she is just in comm chat to speak to her friends.I know I should have just asked the hosts themselves.
RE: Offline hosts
Curious, I agree with you. I have had that happen to me also. However, sometimes they come online very soon after that .
RE: Offline hosts
maybe ther make themselves apear offline to the general public to keep the guys that want to sit in their texxt chat room for hours away.
RE: Offline hosts
I would guess there are two servers involved. One runs the comm chat and the other runs the full video site. I have been on comm chat and the full site has gone down. You can continue to chat away. The chat server seems more stable.
some
dont know they are offline. i have encountered that a few times and she claims to be unaware that she offline
RE: Offline hosts
Thanks for all your replies they made sense.I never said all and I did say presumably.I was meaning the hosts who send pvy messages to members thay have never chatted to and where that member very rarely chats in public.I base that assumption on my experience in comm chat.You complained the last time I posted and that was when I was being helpful to you.
RE: Offline hosts
the only block i want with KATE is a block on our bedroom door when we are together!!!
RE: Can you...
So far, I have been gracious in losing my love to another guy on cc. It's a bit easier when I don't have to see them at the market or nightclubs all the time. I think if we went to the same church or worked in the same company it would be unbearable.
RE: tell me????
I would have thought that it was pretty much impossible unless you were only wearing something like panties and bra.But even then still very very difficult.
RE: tell me????
Unless you were naked to begin with. I have visited a few adult hosts who were in the all together when I entered the video. Not sure if they were undressed from a prior video or if they liked being nude. Maybe it was just hot where they were. In either case it was not as sexy as you might think. Give me lingerie any day. For starters.
RE: tell me????
I guess he means without your fingers? He wants to see you perform. You are a performer. He knows it's difficult. Try it on the cam.
If it's really impossible tell him to come back after you can find different clothes that make it more possible.
If it's really impossible tell him to come back after you can find different clothes that make it more possible.

RE: Rune-Sore-Bees
I love it, thanks Psy. I always found poorly translated maps and manuals fun. I remember the manual for my 486 motherboard from Taiwan instead of having the fairly common "burst line refresh" had a much more interesting "bust line refresh" maybe it was a mother board for mature hosts that tend to droop a little much. I also saw a japanese map translated to english showing a water purification plant as a "Water Punishment Plant" I think it's engineer frequents the dungeon category.
RE: Rune-Sore-Bees
You're correct, dungeons wouldn't be on road maps -- they're at secret locations.
RE: Rune-Sore-Bees
Lol :))
Thank god, never had to talk to such a person.. Even if I'm a patient person, not even when I began working on CC, I had some non-english guests and even members.. It was a total pain in the ass to talk to them and I kinda gave up.. I know I should have been nicer than that, but it was hard enough for me to make myself understood.
Funny, I just started read A year in the merde, written by an English guy that spent a year in France...

RE: NEW TOPIC!
The BBC is a solid news organization. I listen to their radio news programs and watch their TV News broadcasts, which are aired on Public Radio & Television stations throughout the US. And because they are not beholden to commercial interests--like US news organizations---the desire for profit does not trump their standard for reporting news fairly and objectively. Their reporting on International news is broad and in-depth. By comparison the mainstream media in the US rarely reports news from the Thirld World. One would think from US reporting that "International" is confined to Western European nations, China, Japan & Israel.
RedPassion joins the dark side
Former nonadult princess RedPassion is now in litte shy. We are not talking the full monty but a lot more than shown in nonadult.. Looks damn good. Hot girl. And that's my story and I am sticking to it.
RE: RedPassion joins the very very shy side
she still does not..
If you cant find a few girls here that really enjoy this ,, then u r a failure lol..
so many sexy girls here , that actualy like to be sexy ...
and dont have a problem with naked ,, why bother with this ?
not even worth mentioning here ,, dark side my ass lol ..
RE: RedPassion joins the dark side
a non-adult moves into little shy? I'll pass, I prefer girls that know how to please a man, espically when he's paying by the minute
...and finally got smart!
I guess neither her "Friends",nor "Family" were keen on the idea of paying to chat, so she moved to a more salacious quarter! lol!

member loves host and feels he wants to tell everyone here?
member gets hurt by host (or feels he was scammed)?
prices are too high here?
does this non adult host strip in 121?
why do adult hosts refuse to strip in open?
will any of the hosts meet up with members?
do any fall in love/marry who met on this site?
sports news?
occasional political "discussions"?
host loves a member and wants to share it with the world?
hosts feelings get hurt by member?

i am bored why don't i have any viewers?
but also there are some jokes (and sometimes they are not the same ones as last week!)
some very funny observations
some interesting stories - with different views from different cultures

CamContacts
Strange site this, seems like no other. People leave, new ones join. Some things stay the same, john and his potato. It becomes a way of life here. You make friends, real ones you\'ve met, others just online. You get slagged off, insulted, but also loved and appreciated. Hosts to make money, some hoping for more, members to get off, whether just physically or emotionally too.
Sorry for hosts who get hurt, sorry for members who get ripped off. Wish you all well whatever. Cool, as chaser would say.....

RE: Broken Heart

my advice is if you love someone, do all that you can to hold on to them--love is so special and so fragile. sometimes time will heal the love, if it is pure love
good luck to you and your heart Kate

Love (or at least "respect") must be a two-way street. One way lov can heal nothing.

don't Kate! that potato is at least 2 years old and I can't tell you where it's been!
RE: Broken Heart
dam you Ally you know exassly where its been and it is so fresh and i keep woom tepiture too
RE: Broken Heart
My love, I did not start out playing game, I just got jelous of all the action you were getting. Profess you undying love to me publicly and I will come back and do the things I promised.
RE: Broken Heart
the only twat involved was hers and I bet 100s of guys seen it in action. It's cuz of guys like you I had to break it off...the relationship...not my cock.
RE: Broken Heart
I agree with bebe for once. :P The fact that you talk about her the way you do, “I bet 100s of guys seen it in action” makes you really sound like the twat. Did you ever try to establish a real life relationship? Did you ever try to build something real with her? Or was the only thing you were concerned with was your cock? If you are the one for real, then she is lucky without you.
I love a young woman here, with all of my heart and I allowed my jealousy to get in the way of something so very special. I pray daily that one day she will forgive me and let me make it up to her, but that is in hers and God’s hand for now.

RE: Broken Heart
lol, you guys are so gulible. I don't even know this host, but I see the members lining up like sheep in defense of this p[erson 1000s of miles away. No wonder we read about members being scammed all the time.

do you really think any of us believed that you actually knew this host ?No wonder some hosts try and scam members when there are people like you on this site.

RE: Broken Heart
You're such a loser that you even have to resort to pretending that you have a cyber gf.
RE: Broken Heart
Yes , it would be interesting to listen the two versions. Girls in love about a member are always asking understanding about her work ,and they are right , but they should have reciprocity about understanding and help the persons they say are in love. How to help ? If you have the will , you get the way.
you know what
sounds like your still playing that game.
why should she profess her devotion to you? you should be a gentleman and show understanding to her work and stop seeing the other girls with diffent nicks and sweep her away to your palace and protect her from potato pooping pervs :D

What is "UP"
There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is "UP."
It's easy to understand UP , meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP < /FONT> to the secretary to write UP a report ?
We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car . At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special .
And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP . We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.
We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP ! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP , look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. I f you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP , you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP ! . When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP
When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP.
When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP .
One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP , for now my time is UP , so........... it is time to shut UP .....!
Oh . one more thing:
What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at night? U-P

RE: What is
Upstart,the upshot of your uplifting post has upset my equilibrium & had me upending my upbringing so now my mind is in upheaval.i feel like everything is upside down.now i will need to upraise my life so i'm not in uproar & can be an upright citizen who can continue with the upkeep of my being.i'm going upstairs now but will keep you updated on my progress.
RE: What is
UP Guy, Thanks for the post. You’ve given me more food for thought and prompted me to look UP the word in my Shorter OED. As I suspected, the word is a part of English’s earlier Germanic roots. It appears as both “up” and “upp” in Old English. It is spelled “up” in Old Scandinavian and “upp” in Old Norsk. It is related to the Old High German “ūf” from which comes the Modern German “auf”, as in “Wachet auf!” (=Wake UP!) This Shorter OED lists 2 ½ pages of entries for “up” and 6 pages of compound words with the prefix “up.”
I first had occasion to think about how many ways we use the word “up” in English, as a result of living in France! My French girlfriend, a polyglot and lover of languages, pointed it out to me. One evening, as she was leaving my second floor apartment, I said to her, “Let me walk you down,” whereupon she said, “English speakers use ‘up’ and ‘down’ a lot.” When I thought about it, I realized she was right. It also made me think of how Germanic languages make use of compounds to form new words much more frequently than Romance languages.
“Down” is also frequently used. There are 1 ½ pages of listings for it, plus nearly 2 pages of compounds. “Down” is from the Middle English of the same spelling. It may well be related to “down”, from the Old English “dūn,” meaning hill (hence our word dune). “Dūn,” may ultimately be Celtic in origin (In Old Irish “dūn,” meant a fort built on a hill) and related to the Old English, “tūn,” meaning town. So, if one is leaving a hillside “town”, one is going “down” a hill. In modern English we always say “DOWNtown” (or UPtown) to indicate we are going to a city’s center, whether we are descending or ascending a hill. In French, by comparison, DOWNtown is “centreville,” (i.e. “center city”…although come to think of it, Philadelphians always say they are going to “center city)
Finally, one more amusing “up” story for your portfolio. It is apparently peculiar to the denizens of the Mid-Atlantic US city, Baltimore, to use the expression “to go up” when referring to a car or appliance dying. For example one might say, “My transmission went UP,” or “My refrigerator went UP.” I have not found this usage outside of Baltimore. Perhaps it was adopted from some similar German usage, given that Baltimore had a huge German speaking population in the 19th century and well into the early 20th century. Who knows, maybe I could look it UP! I’m UP for that (or as is said in African-American dialect, I’m DOWN for that! Lol!)

Perhaps it was adopted from some similar German usage, given that Baltimore had a huge German speaking population in the 19th century and well into the early 20th century. Who knows, maybe I could look it UP! I’m UP for that (or as is said in African-American dialect, I’m DOWN for that! Lol!)

Knowing my beloved Raiders, they will trade the down the pick for USC's Dwayne Jarrett and pair of glow in the dark rotary phones for Al Davis' and Lane Kiffin's offices. Have a nice day... :)

RE: Football
i love the raiders,, but i hope they trade down and get them a good veteran football player and a couple of free agents signees and go after Mr. Glenn from Ohio State.
RE: Football
You got it. Davis loves strong arms and JaMarcus has one. Davis hated not getting John Elway, and Davis has compared JaMarcus to Elway....I'd say it's JaMarcus...or the best collegiate place kick....HOLDER. You know...Al likes to keep people guessing

RE: Football
In the USA do the little ladies wrap themselves up with as much padding and protection when they play soccer as the fully grown men who play that big girls game called American Football do?Or are the little ladies not as pathetic as that?

Well Done Romania
3-0 is a good result even against lowly Luxembourg. I only had an on line commentary but it seemed that Romania were totally dominant. Now lets see if Slovenia can peg back the Netherlands.
