Ask Joe Column 3

Sherry: How the hell should I know? lol I barely ever use moisturizing cream, and if I do, I just take whatever is in the house.

Sam: Lol, you always make me laugh, I never know what you'll end up saying next.

Good Morning Sam, and no twas not a lie, I can't keep an eye on everyone. You are one out of oh I don't know Hundreds maybe even thousands that PM on a daily basis/that come in contact with me on this site.

Do you use myspace or faithfreaks? How about twitter? ooOOHHH I love my twitter!

Sherry: I use Myspace and Facebook.

**GASP** No twitter... well shall we all weeeeeee on you then LMAO....

What are your thoughts on the cost of college educations now days?

Sherry: College is way to expensive for anyone now-a-days. It is outragous.

How does the American public/College or University's expect students to fully learn and become knowledgeable, when a lot of people won't goto college because of the cost?

One' shouldn't have to pay to get a good education, it should be free like Public Schools (although we pay taxes which makes it possible)

Education shouldn't have a price on it. At least that is my outlook on this.

Sam: Now just think of it this way...you are special, why do you think I wrote that poem? It was dedicated to you, with all my jackass-ness attached...lmfao

Wait... am I not special anymore? LMAO... see if I share my shopping desires with you again LOL!

Sherry: You special too, you see, I wrote Collabs with you. Not many people can say they have done that with me ;)

LMAO!...

What are your views on women gaining meaningful employment?

Do you feel threatned by a female that obtains a solid job? What if her income was more than yours?

Sherry: Women are just as equal to men when it comes to jobs in my opinion. Women goto school, they get educated, they get jobs, etc. Infact a statistic is that higher majority of women are in upper management rolls compaired to men.

I don't personally have a problem with it, a boss is a boss. A boss is a human being just like me, whether they be female or male it makes no difference to me.

Do I feel threatened? By all means NO. The reason one holds a Job is because of their knowledge on a particular subject. It is not determined by one's sex.

So be it. I could careless what one' makes, unless it affects me in some way. Money shouldn't determine one's feelings, it is the experience/knowledge that you gain that should be important, for money does not by happiness.

What are your views on the younger generation not only having sex outside of marriage, but also knowingly and willfully continuing behaviors when diagnosed with some form of STD?

How do you think we as a society could put a stop to such acts?

Sherry: We can't just blame the younger generations, we must also blame the older generations (the parents) for not caring about what their children watch or even partake in during their lifes.

I find it wrong first of all for one' regardless of age to sexually pleasure their mate when diagnosed with some form of STD (without talking about it with their mate that is)

I'm not sure if we as a society will ever be able to stop such acts in the near future. We educate the children via school to the best that we can, a lot of schools provide condoms or other protection. I blame it on the kids and the parents for not caring enough about what happens.

Do you think it is ok for the schools to provide condems? I will reserve my opinion on this for the moment....

Sherry: You mean condoms? lol

Well I think it all depends on the school.

Colleges/Universities I would say it is ok, since a majority of the students understand (or at least should) what their actions could lead to.

High Schools, yes and no, I think it depends on the location more than anything. I higher populated area is more likely to have more activity where as a smaller area has less activity do to the size. Well actually the more I think about it, I'd say yes it should be ok with in the High Schools.

Middle schools and below, I would say no it shouldn't be allowed.

But all-in-all it shouldn't really matter, if a child, teen, adult, etc. wants to buy condoms, the store has to sell them to you regardless of age.

What is your middle name?

Do you like your name? (LOL I always hated mine as a kid)

Do you believe that children should be raised with strictness? Why or why not?

Sherry: My middle name is Phillip. I don't have a problem with my name, I like it.

Absolutly, children need discipline. I am Italian, and discipline is very big in the Italian culture.

I remmeber when I was bad, my mom would send me to a corner and make me face towards it for a certain amount of time, if I turned around the time was doubled, etc. If I was really bad my mom would get out the wooden spoon (take a guess what she did with that) and hit me with it, several times she even broke it...lol

When I was younger I had curfew, I had to call my parents when I went out, tell them where I was going or going to be, give them phone numbers, etc. It was all a big pain to me when I was a kid, but I look back on it and thank them. They where just being parents that wanted the best and always thought of saftey first. (which is what a lot of familys lack now-a-days)

Without some type of discipline/strictness within a household, I feel the kids feel like they can get away with anything which is not a good lesson at all.

Do you pogo? I love pogo.. got Ann hooked on it too LMAO... love ya Ann!

Sherry: Do you mean pogo sticking? If that is the case, then yes I do. In fact when I was younger (I was crazy back then) I used to try and do stunts with it, like fliping in the air and doing 360 twists, etc.

LMAO... no dear... [Edited....weeeeeeee] LMAO...

Man.. no twitter.. no pogo.. oh my what will I do with you?

Sherry:

"oh my what will I do with you?"

No comment, I might get in trouble (another inside joke)...lol

Do you enjoy weeeeeing on people?

BAHAHAHA.

I second that question.

Sherry and Jordan: Depends on your definition of "weeing" If you mean actaually urinating on people, then by all means no and I would never do that. If you mean "weeing" as in the one that was created just for fun on here, then by all means Yes I do.

Do you like to go shopping ;)?

What are some things that you like to shop for?

Oh yea... I went there LMAO

Sherry: Depends on what I am shopping for as well as my general mood that day. But in most cases, yes I like to go shopping.

Mostly electronics: speakers, dvds, dvd players, HD dvds, HD dvd players, dual format players (for HD and Bluray) projectors, nintendo games, cds, computer parts, computer software, clothes, Italian clothes, food, equipment such as saws drills etc., fine wine, etc.

I mean the list can go on and on...lol

What is your favorite "toy"... Do you use it daily, weekly, monthly?

What is it about your toys that draws your attention to them?

Sherry: My favorite "toy" would have to be my wii. Oh yes I use it daily, tis so much fun.

They generate happiness, and so much plesent fun that others can enjoy as well.

You and all the weeee and wii's

Does a girl having her own toys threaten you?

Sherry: No, why should it threaten me? All girls like to have fun at some point just like us guys. ;)

Do you like to go camping or hunting?

Have you ever held a heart in your hands and felt it beat?

Do you like to disect things?

Sherry: I love the great outdoors. So to answer your question, yes I love camping infact I will be going camping in May with about 100-150 people.

Hunting...depends on the type of hunting, I've never actually gone hunting, but someday I might.

If holding a frogs heart counts then yes I have. (did that in High School)

No, I don't like to disect things. Well actually I take that back, I like to disect stuff as long as it is not a living thing. e.g. I like to take stuff apart to see how it work and how to make it better (mostly electronics)

Everyone has a secret or two...

Do you ever look back on your childhhod at some of the secrets you kept and think...Man why was that a secret? What was so important about keeping that hush hush?

Sherry: As children we all kept secrets, usually they where not important secrets. Of course I've looked back as I grew and went man that was a stuipd secret why was it even a secret? But everything has a purpose and wheather it was a stupid and not important secret, I think there was a lesson learned to us all, and that was how to keep secret if truly needed and not spilling your guts to someone else (which I can almost say we've all done when kids) So all-in-all I think it is a life lesson that we all learned when young.

With all the crime and child predators now days many parents opt to tach their children not to keep secrets...

what is your thoughts on this?

Should children be allowed their own little secrets or should parents know EVERYTHING... (I am talking young children with innocent secrets).. Are these parents overreacting and over protective?

Sherry: As I am not a parent myself yet, I would have to say secrets are secrets, and children always have secrets they keep from their parents.

But I must say this these parents are not overreacting or over protective of their children, they just want the best for them and would do anything for their saftey. I know when I am a parent I will do things my kids will hate me for, but all-in-all I want my kids safe, and would die to keep them safe.

Do you think it is possible to find a boundary where children can have secret and parents can be comfortable?

I myself tell my children that secrets are ok.. WITH GUIDELINES...

There are no secrets when it comes to areas that the bathing suit covers.. those secrets are bad and need to be told right away!

Secrets that can hurt them or someone else is bad too and not to be kept to themselves....

What are your thoughts?

Sherry: I absolutly agree with you. Kids can keep secrets with boundaries that are given to them, to make the parents feel comfortable and the kids still feel like they can keep them (another words you are not fully taking it away)

Subjects such as self-harm, death, harm to others, threats, sexual acts, problems, etc. should not be kept secret in my opinion.

If your child thought that they might be bi or gay... would you want to know? How do you think you would react?

Sherry: I am not a parent yet, but if I was, I would want to know about it. How would I react? Well I would be surprised for one, and I wouldn't be happy with their choice, but hey they are my kids right? I would love them no matter what the case, but again I wouldn't be happy with their choice, nor would I approve of it. But it doesn't mean I wouldn't love them any less, they are my children.
