proud athiest weighing in here. This is all about someone putting themselves in a position where a child trusts them – and abusing that trust. It could be a priest, a rabbi, daycare provider, party clown or a US Congressman….it’s all the same.

[Gina]

JenV-yes, there is. http://www.worldmarket.com/custserv/store_locator.I try to avoid the downtown area on my days off. Southcenter trip can be combined with a visit to Trader Joe’s.

And I still haven’t made it over to PFI!

Except researching what the Bible does have to say on the topic and then to think it through rationally to see if it makes sense. Also, read my explanation to Jan above about interpretations.

Would it be a fair interpretation of your comment if I thought it said, “The Bible is the best resource for all of life’s answers! End of story.”? Is that what you were implying?

[WSMom]

Okay, I love Husky Deli. I love their ice cream, I love their sandwiches, I love their raspberry filled homemade scones that are incredibly yummy, and Jack is probably the nicest close talker in West Seattle…but, the place needs a clean bathroom, a good dusting and new floors. There, I said it, it’s time for sprucing up the place, IMHO.

I’ve never had an issue with the hours of operation, works fine for me. Husky Deli is the essence of West Seattle. Jack and his family are so generous with our schools, local charities and sports teams. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a fundraiser where something wasn’t donated by Husky Deli.

I was waiting for Ken to come and tell us what is right and what is wrong. Thank you Ken!

I don’t think it’s alarmist at all, I think that it is something to be aware of and to consider so that there are solid definitions in place.

[Tonya42]

Why all the negative comments about right wingers? Is everyone that threatened? What gives people? I thought the point of debate was to do just that?

In defense of Admiral’s Pub, a group of us were there celebrating one night and were actually politely and tactfully cut off at one point to “slow us down”. They also made sure our DD was drinking nothing but water and soda. In fact I believe her soda was on the house… We had a wonderful time and there was no hard feelings on either side. We stayed a long time to wind down before we left.

I didn’t see what Dazzlespace saw, but from my understanding resturaunts and bars are typically pretty careful about over serving and letting people go driving due to dram shop insurance. If someone leaves absolutely wasted and gets in an accident, legally speaking the establishment could be sued for their part in the situation. (At least that was the lay of the land when I wrote a paper on it in college a few years ago…)

**Dazzlespace is just on a rampage. I was on another thread where he/she warped it with hostility. Kind of wrecks it for the rest of us.

wes…you misunderstood…it’s not about all christians….just those that hide behind the “banner”…..who LEAD the megachurches and are not who they tell you and me to be….or the politicians who LEAD, by advocating one way, stand up and state beliefs one way (and sometimesinfluence and pass laws), and then break those very personal beliefs themselves. I suppose I hold them to a higher standard and shake my head…these are grown men, with choices..they can’t all stand behind “sickness’…they don’t have some big boogieman standing over them twisting their arms to do these things…they put themselves out there as moral compasses…that old saying “methinks they doth protest too much”…so please don’t misunderstand…this isn’t about the christian, spiritual, religious or non-religious or whatever who just live good lives knowing right from wrong , this is about the guys who LEAD that way, and make those choices…hypocrisy.This guy was a pastor…he knew better…but it isn’t just because he’s a pastor…it’s been ultra-conservative politicians, too. It has nothing to do with his being a “church person” per se..it’s about his position in that church.

I deplore this behavior in anyone..but particularly those who seek to influence by “preaching” the “moral” way.

That definition of sin? That’s your interpretation of God’s laws, 10 commandments, the bible, etc…it may not be everyone’s..just a thought…religion/beliefs etc can be complicated, can’t they? You interpret one way that works for you…your neighbor may interpret another way that works for him/her. Neither is wrong..just different.

I sometimes read the housing wanted boards at Craigslist when I’m bored, and I’ve seen your ad on there, Jiggers. One thing I might suggest to you is that you tell a little about yourself. Honestly, if I had a room to rent (which I don’t) and had seen your ad, I probably wouldn’t have called because I don’t know your first name, whether you’re a man or woman, age range, are you working, etc. With a competitive market for inexpensive rooms/apartments, I’d think somebody needs to tell a prospective roommate or landlord why they are worth picking up the phone to call over somebody else. Also, I have a feeling that at the price point you’re looking for, you aren’t going to find anything unless you open yourself up to the WS neighborhoods that you specifically mention you don’t want to consider. As a renter myself, that’s just my observation of the market right now.

[JanS]

JenV…that was wonderful…lolol…love Dave Barry

jiggers…how big a place do you get for your $875/mo.?

It’s a shame that you can’t find someone to go halfsies or threesies on renting a house…would cut expenses…but not seem like you’re “renting a room” that you can’t leave for the rest of the place. I understand how difficult it will be going from living alone to living with a stranger…I’ve lived alone since my divorce in 95(except for a few years with my daughter)…and I love it. I’ve made it happen so far…but it hasn’t been easy. I work at home, so would be difficult to share…I see clients here..and don’t see how it would work.

Best of luck..still keeping my eyes open for ya…

To phrase the issue as a Fox commentator would, Are right wingers fools? or just dumb. We will examine that question in depth right after this message from Lockheed- Martin…

Hint: you must click on the links to get the real facts on the netherlands polygamy story and see the wingnut “journalist” who purposely mistranslated the contract name and associated it with same sex marriage.

wsblover…we love having you come here…we are a community. I’ve been here in WS for 33 years, and finally feel part of this community because of WSP and the people on here who I have and have not met. Ya gotta admit..original poster was none too friendly…or specific…in their accusations..

no…re: that terlit… some dirt and some flowers? daisies, maybe ;-)

[Ken]

The cluestick has no preference as to how long someone has posted or lurked here.

Accusations of lawbreaking towards any business need to at least sound credible and may still be met with skepticism or agreement from any who have an opinion.

Smacking around the clueless is what the cluestick is for.

I could pick any business on the right side of the page ad roll and make up stuff that could be neither proved nor disproved. I would expect those who were not convinced by my evidence, or lack of it to comment as their own experience dictated.

[Jiggers]

I’m still looking for a room to rent here in West Seattle. Its mind boggling how hard it is now to get a place here in WS when just 5 years ago, they were giving you a free month concession just to get you to move in. Call me 206-933-3130. Leave message Thank you.

[JimmyG]

I love Husky Deli!

They stock Cadbury biscuits (cookies) that you can normally only get in England/Ireland.

And they stock Jaffa Cakes.

They are the type of locally owned business we should all embrace if we want to keep the WS feeling alive. Stop in as often as you can and try to buy something.

Hershey’s is moving (offshore) — moving some candy production to Mexico. Guess the folks in Pa. won’t have to worry anymore :-)

The bob needs to find a good ophthalmologist; basically, he needs something beyond the normal eye exam/glass prescription. He can no longer see to read and he loves to read (how’s that for a precise diagnosis?)

Any recommendations? We’re going to ask WS Optix for recs as well.

I need my check to use as a deposit for a new place next month because I can’t afford to pay the rent increase which was raised almost 3% two months ago, grrrrr. I’m now paying over $875 a month in rent which isn’t worth it unless you own the place which isn’t in my plans for different reasons. So, the stimulus will surely help my cause. I guess though free money is free money and I shouldn’t complain and be patient. But I don’t want to stay and pay that amount in rent next month. Its ridiculous and I’m willing to adjust my living conditions. It was fun living alone for a number of years, but cutting my rent down to almost half would be so much better for my wallet and mind and maybe god forbid make a few new friends. I don’t know about the rest of you millionaires here.

[Shibaguyz]

Now we’re bringing pedophiles in too?? Where have you people been?? Is this entire discussion on the conservative side going to come from every non-original, over-inflated, stereotypical, alarmist, bell-ringer fundie call to action speech EVER made in history?

Check your facts and stop throwing around the same old alarmist sound bites that are used by fundies to scare up money for their campaigns.

This is not about pets, children, people trying to marry their relatives or cults that want six wives and 50 children. This is about me being able to marry my partner (now of 13 years) and be afforded the same health care benefits (which most thinking companies and governments already afford us, thank you) and rights to legal status as any other married couple.

The big argument comes through about the “definition of marriage” and whether that is between a man and a woman or not. Do the original “laws” around marriage have that definition in them? If not, then I would say it is the screaming fundies who are trying to “redefine” marriage.

Honestly, I can file legal documents to secure all of the same legal rights as a hetero married couple and our church sanctioned our marriage way back when so this issue for us is really about not letting the fear mongers have another hold where they blame the lesbian and gay community for one more “downfall of society.”

Thanks to those of you who have kept this about the real issue here and REALLY… I believe if you think about it past all of the people who INSIST on brining in the “slippery slope” argument about dogs, cousins, communes and pedophiles, you will see it has absolutely nothing to do with any of that and all of that is just inflammatory speech meant to scare up the support of uneducated, confused people.

My last professor of religion summed it up nicely when he said it would be nice if there was a thinking man’s church out there. Because the longer you studied the teachings of the the political talk coming from some of the pulpits and governmental lecterns out there, the less you should be able to swallow most of it if you have half a brain.

Yeah, I’m being harsh… I’m just sick of putting up with it. I guess after so many years of dealing with this crap and seeing people killed and worse as a result of the folks who propagate these attitudes, I’m just getting a little pissed off about it.

Thanks for listening…
