• This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

I am a complete beginner with the guitar and the banjo. I have only been playing the banjo about a little over a month. The guitar I played for 6 months before (3 years ago). The difference is that I am taking lessons now. Anyway, I have been learning rolls, right hand technique, and chords, left hand work. I picked up the banjo to practice just now and after warming up and doing a left hand practice, I played the song "Take me home, Country Roads" by John Denver. I did really well! I nailed the forward roll I was using, 5-3-2-1. The real difference came from my chord shifts with my left hand. I really nailed some smooth shifts without any pause (or not much of one) in my rolls. It actually sounded like music. It was quite...
I wonder if the people who throw around words like Marxist and socialist can actually define them or are they quoting Hannity, Beck, O'Reilly, or Limbaugh. Why do people have to resort to name calling and scare tactics instead of serious, respectful debate on issues? Oh wait, I know, because in a serious, respectful debate based on fact, they have nothing.
With Governor David Patterson bowing out of his reelection bid, the people of New York will be guaranteed a new Governor come this November. The following is a list of current candidates under the various political parties in the state of New York. Democratic Party Current Attorney General Andrew Cuomo Andrew Cuomo represents what is wrong with New York state politics.

Virtually all of my online friends do not know that I have lost 40lbs since Jan 20th. I am down to 235 from 275. Had to resize my ring as I dern near lost it in the sink washing hands. Whats my sekrud? Very simple idea, hard to do: High Fructose Corn Syrup = bad I removed it completely from my diet. No more Dr Pepper (I have a Lufkin TX cane syrup recipe Dr Pepper every now and again). Limited sugar - I sweeten things with Splenda. Lowered my beef intake to once a week. MMMMM....steak. I cook everything or bring it with me. 30 min treadmill and stretches twice a week. My wife isn't trying to lose weight but with no HFCS, it is melting off her too.
I moved to the Gulf Coast from Kansas City, MO in May of 2008. The effects of Katrina were still everywhere economically and somewhat physically. Places like Waveland, MS were nearly wiped off the map. While there has been some rebuilding, there are still entire neighborhoods near the coastline where it looks like a nuclear disaster. Lot after lot with dead trees just waiting to fall over and slabs of concrete where houses once stood are overgrown with weeds. Biloxi, where I live, has rebuilt about as much as they are going to until the economy recovers. All along the beach were restaurants, souvenir shops and casinos. Now? The casinos are on the land for the most part, and even the concrete slabs where a Waffle House, a Surf...

To judge the content of the statement, you have to overlook the way it is expressed, which is not easy. It was run through a management-speak machine. It emerged, repetitious and full of misprints, with added verbiage and reduced intellectual content. Then it was put through a second time.) Now I wonder why this is such a surprise to anyone. Naturally what came out was essentially pure Obamaese. God help us all, with regret nothing Obama proposes will!!
