Ask Joe Column 2

Soso: I am doing Wonderful!!! Thanks for asking.

To simply answer your question, People that are well kept and minded, are usually overlooked because people feel, "They are too nice, there is something wrong, no one is that nice."

In all due respect, there are people that are nice, and truly mean what their actions show.

Why don't others see people that are nice and good minded and acknowledge it? Most likely because they simply don't want to, they are use to their life and don't like change. Why change if it is not nessecary for the to survive life?

Now I don't agree with peoples way of thinking now-a-days, but that is society in a whole, people always tend to step on the ones that are nice and reward the ones that aren't.

Why? I smiple don't know, perhaps it is because they don't like change as I said before, or maybe it is just because they wheren't raised the same as those who are nice.

What are your views on our politicians today?

Do you think politically America is better off than other countries? Why or why not?

Do you think there is a country that we should look at and possibly learn from?

How do you think we could improve?

Sherry: To be completely honest, I am not going to be able to answer these very well since I don't really follow all of that too much. I always feel like I'm back in school learning about this stuff as I try to answer your questions Sherry...but I will try my best to answer your them.

Well for your first question, I find almost all politicians to be unfaithful, they can't be trusted in my personal outlook on them. They all say something, and then when sworn in they don't do it. In my general opinion of politicians, is that they are all crooked and are two-faced (but that's just me) I personally don't like any of the politicians in todays society.

I think America is strong, but could be a lot stonger. We are a massive nation that controls a lot and have a lot of power, but are we better off than other countries? I would say it is 50/50. We are strong as a whole in many different ways, but we do lack a few things here and there. Every country/person has a weekness (what it may be differs from the country/person.)

I think we can learn from many countries, why should it just be one? One of my most favorite quotes is, "The way to Knowledge is learning, The way to learning is asking." If everyone/every country applies that simple quote to life, then truly this world be so sopisticated and well off that we would be much more knowledgable (although that may cause more problems...lol).

How can we improve? Oh the list is huge, but there is one major way that we could improve, and that is learning from our mistakes instead of repeating them. You'd figure we would learn that going to war and fighting other peoples battles would kill hundreds even thousands of soldiers that was not need to begin with. We fight so many different countries wars that is rediculous, if we could just concentrate on us, then we might be so much better off as a country in the long run. (But again that is just my opinion.)

Okay...

What are your thoughts on the war in Iraq? Do you think that our troops should be there? Do you think that George Bush was sincere in catching terrorist or was it just an excuse?

Do you think that now since we already there that we should stay or pull out? If we pull out now do you think that our soldiers would be treated like they were after the Vietnam War or would the reunion be much better?

Is this was political suicide for our nation?

Sherry: The war in Iraq was all started over an
allegation that Iraq possessed and was actively developing weapons of mass destruction. The allegations where produced shortly after 9/11 which gave the government a sound reason to invade. However, that is not the reason the US had gone there to fight, this war was all about oil more or less.

Do I agree that our troops should be over there fighting this endless vendetta? Absolutly not, it is not our place to go and fight nor try and make it right. The US has problems of it's own, we should take focus on our problems instead of others (at least that's how I look at it.)

As mentioned above it was an excuse to go over there, using 9/11 as a back-up (so that people would support the war since they wanted someone to pay for 9/11) and saying that Iraq created weapons of mass destruction.

The longer we stay there, the more problems we will create, I say pull-out. However, if Mccain is elected (which I hope doesn't happen) he will continue backing the war and eventually there will be a draft. I feel it will be 50-50 for how they will be treated. Everyones views aren't the same, therefore people will treat them differently. But, I do feel a majority will welcome them back with open arms when they come back, but after a while it will die down and just be, "oh look another soldier that was in Iraq....Big deal."

Political suicide? Isn't any type of war usually political? In saying this, yes it is, it will determine a great or a horrible leader of our country. All-in-all, it is just bad all the way around when anyone enters a war.

If you could give birth for your wife, would you.

I hope to god you say the right answer, joe. I rly do.

BANGBANG: It doesn't matter what my answer is because Men were not intented to carry children nor will we ever. It is unethical in my opinion. What would Men need women for anymore if we could carry a baby?

The whole point of having 2 different sexes is to be able to mate and create more. If you take away women, then it is only one sex left in the world, now we would't want that now would we?

Virginia Beach is in an uproar because a local high school teacher has been linked to an escort service company.

It was just discovered that at least eight escort ads in the Yellow Pages list numbers belonging to the 33-year-old social studies instructor. Oops.The teacher insisted she left the escort business two years ago before she started teaching and says what she did before she got her job is her personal business. Some parents disagree and want her fired pronto.

What's your take?

Should a former escort be allowed to teach kids? What do you think?

Sherry: Well to say the least, the Public School system can't fire her unless it is in her contract stating that they can fire her due to past job affiliations.

Also, it is not the ladies fault (granted she was an escort and is now a school teacher) she applied for a Job and she was accepted, obviously the school system didn't do enough research on their part.

Personally I would not blame the lady, she applied and was accepted for the Job. I blame the school system for not doing back ground checks.

And this is just my opinion on the matter, one's past should not be taken into effect.

e.g. Take Bob for example (sorry Bob, if you want this taken down I would understand) He went to jail, does that change who he is as a person? Of course it does, but going to Jail changed Bob's life dramasitcally.

So take my example, should people be judged on their past? In my opinion they shouldn't.

Legally they can't fire her until she tries to pursure such acts with a student.

Oh man, I was kidding.

Joe, I am assuming that you like to ride horses... when was the first time that you rode? Do you own any of these little guys or shall I say big guys?

Sherry: Yes, I like to ride horses, what kind of cowboy would I be if I didn't...lol (I'm not a cowboy)

The first time I ever rode was when I was about 5 or 6. I grew up with a barn a few houses down from mine, so I would go there a lot after school or on the weekends. (the barn is now gone, it is a development now)

Do I own any horses? No, but someday I wish to own a few. Riding is very pieceful, and can calm you a lot when mad.

P.S. I prefer full size, not miniture. Minitures are nice for pets, but not for riding.

What are your thoughts on science today and all the advancements that is being made?

For example:

Scientist are now working on a way that man may develope nerve regeneration. This is believed to be a key factor in regrowth of body limbs that scientist are hoping to unlock in the future.

^^^

Now... this all sounds great, but do you feel that maybe scientist are pushing the envelope to far?

Sherry: Science is always evolving. Scientists will always come up with ways to do things that will be pushing "the envelope" sort-to-speak.

At the moment they have been experimenting with freazing people and bringing them back to life. Don't you think that is kind of like playing "god" ?

I personally think technology is great and is advancing extreamly fast for my liking. I don't think it is health to form such ligiments and limbs by chemically rebuilding them. We are given the essentials of life, and to duplicate lifing organisims and parts of the body, I do not agree with. (but again that is just my thoughts on it)

Boxers or briefs?

Sherry: I personally where Boxers, they are more comfortable in my opinion. Briefs I haven't worn in a long time, but when needed, I will wear them. e.g. working out, getting dressed up, maybe to a party (depending on the type) etc.

Do you think prostitution should be legalized?

Why or why not?

If so.. should there be mandated testing?

Sherry: Why on earth would I say I want that legalized? In all due respect, that is Illegal and will always stay Illegal in my eyes. It is morally wrong to sell one's body to another to make money, same goes for strip clubs, and any clubs of those kinds.

Any women/man that does that obviously doesn't care about themselves in any way, shape or form.

Bottom-line...NO it should not be legalized.

According to http://www.momlogic.com/2008/04/moms_are_talking_about_182.php

Artificial sperm created: Scientists are a step closer to making men unnecessary in the reproductive process after creating lab-grown sperm to impregnate female mice. Watch your back, guys!

********************

What are your thoughts on this?

Sherry: This answer is going to be more of a compilation of a few answers I have given before.

Science is always evolving. Scientists will always come up with ways to do things that in my opinion are unethical to mankind. Don't you think that is kind of like playing "god" ?

I personally think technology is great and is advancing extreamly fast for my liking. I don't think it is healthly to form sperm by chemically rebuilding it. We are given the essentials of life, and to duplicate lifing organisims that provide the essentials to create another human, I do not agree with. (but again that is just my thoughts on it)

What would women need men for anymore if they could carry a baby without having a man to provide sperm to create the baby?

The whole point of having 2 different sexes is to be able to mate and create more. If you take away men, then it is only one sex left in the world, now we would't want that now would we?

Do you have any animals? If so do any sleep with you?

If not... what is your adress?

Sherry: I currently do not have any animals. My dog died in the summer of 2006 I believe it was. Ans yes, he used to sleep with me occasionally.

No Address for you....lol (Inside Joke)

How would you react if you woke up and found oh I don;t know say two goats in your back yard?

Sherry: Goat milk anyone?

Honestly I don't think I would care, I've found a lot of animals in my yard before. I've had horses in my yard, dogs, cats, birds, foxes, skunks, turkeys, etc. etc.

Besides, they drink goat milk in Italy, so why not just get some goat milk instead of buying milk? Oh and they also make cheese with goat milk...so I guess it would be time for me to learn something new.

Joe, have you heard about the pregnant man? The woman who had a sex change but not fully so she/he was able to carry children if he/she ever wanted to. Now that this person is pregnant, what would your thoughts on the subject be?

Evanescence: My thoughts are the same as before. I have heard about this before, but honestly it is not the same since it was a women having a sex change, all her "female" organs internally where still there which gave her the choice if she wanted to have one or not.

Now if it where a man that had a sex change to a women, it still wouldn't be possible for the simple fact that they would have to transfer all of the female parts including internally, which has never been done at least not to my knowledge. And even if it has been done before, in this day-and-age it is still physically impossible for a male to carry a baby even though the organs of a female are there. The male still creates testosterone, regardless of outer or inner organs through sex change.

Do you like musicals?

If so..which one is your favorite? Why?

Sherry: Yes, I like musicals. Basically any form of art I like (as long as it is legal)

My favorite musical would have to be, "The Sound of Music" which is a movie, but it is a musical. I liked the sound of music because the music is just wonderful and the way the movie was made was outstanding.

Now if you mean a musical such as a broadway show, then I would have to say, "The Phantom of the Opera" which is both a play and a movie. I liked this musical mostly because of the music. The music in this was Excellent!!! Also because I like Emmy Rossum (she was in the movie) she is beautiful and has an amazing singing voice.

Ok.. back to love

Is there someone special that has caught your eye?

What is she like? Have you met in person?

Sherry: A while back (like 2 years ago) there was someone that caught my eye, but nothing ever really happened between us. She was beautiful and her words where so kind and sincere. No, we never met in person, although I would've liked too.

As for the present, no there is no one that is special to me that's caught my eye as of yet.

What made you decide that you wanted to become a moderator for this site?

Sherry: Well back when I first joined, the chat was still here (in which I was on almost all day and night) I witnessed a lot of nonsence that should of been delt with, but there where no Mods on. So I took it upon myself to inforce the rules and regulations of the site, and I eventually asked after a while if I could be one, since I was always on and people actually looked up to me and asked me questions or concerns about a problem that may have been going on.

It is clear that you believe in God. Do you believe in the rapture? Why or why not?

Also, what is your favorite book in the Bible?

Sherry: You got it right, I believe in God. Do I believe in the rapture? what is that? Sorry, I am not very clear on all of my religion (I still have much to learn)

I've never read the bible before, so I wouldn't be able to tell you that.

When just hanging out at home do you prefer a girl to be in boyshorts and a t-shirt or girly panties and a tank top?

Sherry: It all depends on my mood...lol But I would have to say Boyshorts and a t-shirt. I actually feel boyshorts are sexier on a women than girly panties. (but that is just my opinion)

If you were to propose marriage... how would you like to do it?

Ex: In a restuarant..on a beach in the moonlight..

Sherry: Oh I don't have the slightest clue, that would depend on a lot. What the girl likes, what she doesn't like, etc. But a restuarant or under the moonlight would be the ideal place.

What is your favorite childhood memory?

Sherry: When I first got my dog which was when I was in 3rd grade. I was so happy and excited, he was a Christmas present.
