Don't do drugs.
This actually made me very sad. I grew up with her music. To this day the songs "I wanna dance with somebody", "How will I know", "Every woman" among many others just lift my spirits when I hear them. You'd figure people would know not to call me to deliver bullshit news when I'm out trying to have a good time. :(
That was surprising for sure. Or maybe it wasn't surprising to those who had followed her life better, but I only knew her from her music and one or two movie roles.
I grew up with her too, so I was pretty damn surprised.
Umm, no offense to discosean and his message against drugs, but do we know the cause of Whitney's death at this point?
No. An autopsy will take prolly a day. Chemical results could take a few more.Quote:

Anyone else notice how Assassin just seems to drop by randomly every other week to grace us with his ever so wonderful witty humor?Quote:

Rest in peace Whitney Houston, the music you made is great and will live on in your place.
That said maybe I'm just jaded but an artist dying untimely from drugs doesn't even make me raise an eyebrow. It's a very old cliche.
Something I wrote to a national correspondent of the Atlantic ended up on the site. It is in reference to an article on President Obama.
what part of that is yours?
anyway, America always amazes me with how open you are about your race issues.
The one that says, "Reader Michael Harrington writes:" is his.Quote:

I mean, it was built as a multi-ethnic country (some people would not like to believe that, but it is true). A lot of "friends" and associates hate for anyone to bring it up, because it gets uncomfortable.Quote:

like every country, Israel has a social divide (or several social divisors), some of which we talk openly about (religious\secular) and some are pretty much suppressed (ethnic by country of origin). and when I say suppressed I mean everybody just coughs when it surfaces and tries to pretend the elephant doesn't exist.
a serious newspaper can never address the ethnic issue the way that article in the Atlantic did, and you can't have a real discussion of 'being a minority' as you (rockmanj) mentioned. all these issues exist, but are hardly ever brought to surface.
Assertn, I wasn't referring to racial profiling, we're pretty open about that. the system has flaws but it has reasons behind it. The Israel\arab conflict has less to do with what I was impressed by.
http://www.theatlantic.com/internati...#disqus_thread Is that guy that was quoted serious? How is it the US's moral failing if Israel attacks another country? I agree with the author on this one.
I'm mostly against attacking in Iran, and usually I think Shavit (the guy quoted) is a pom-posed speech writer, but the tone of the article was immature, and felt like the author was playing dumb and dancing away from the subject.
I agree with what you said. Shavit is kind of ridiculous. Also, the US can't really afford the wars we have been engaged in so far, so it would be self-destructive on our end to start another conflict. Those GOP candidates, along with about 17 senators disagree though. I wonder how they propose we pay for it and how many of our soldiers and Iranian civilians lives they intend to ruin. I hope the US keeps its involvement purely diplomatic and Bibi does not start bombing Iran...but who knows what will happen.Quote:
