My guess is that the doc would like to sell the teenage girls into marriages, and then they'd have a baby a year until they either died in childbirth or went into menopause.

Looking for suggestions on Irish history/oppression-preferably from the Irish point of view. Anyone have any?

He is handsome and he KNOWS it. Congratulations!

UGH. There isn't a word vile enough to describe how much I detest this, this.... whatever he is.

He must have seen The Money Pit....

If nothing happens the Golden Idol will claim it's because he prevented it by some powerful action of his.

So he's Muslim now?

There is still a lot of anti-Catholic sentiment out there, it would seem. Even though I no longer consider myself a Catholic this is more than a little upsetting.

FYI, the FB page White Stars, Black Sea is doing its annual Titanic month. It's quite interesting.

Yeah, I think it and Born in the USA were both a bit overplayed even though I still like both of them. I've always had a special place in my heart for Badlands and Hungry Heart, though in recent years I've grown to like Streets of Philadelphia (even if the song at the end of the movie IS even better) and My Hometown. Maybe it's because I have so many relatives from NJ? 😉

Man, that sucks. I definitely would never want to go back to high school.

His status as an 'outsider' was also too extreme. Many Democratic leaders found him to be unlikable, so they chose not to work with him. Many of these so called liberals ended up cozying up to Reagan. I always thought it was his handling of the hostage crisis that put the final nail in his presidency's coffin, though.

Let's not forget that he turned the thermostats in the WH down to 68 degrees and wore sweaters to keep warm. I seem to remember a Playboy interview that was pretty controversial at the time, too.

Very true.

That was Jimmy Carter in the late 70s.... imagine if we'd kept up his energy policies instead of having them actively reversed. While far from perfect, Carter's administration had a lot of really great research not only in energy, but in agriculture as well.
