Doorsman,

Clever way to wrap some of their "best" into a few sentences!! This time next week I'll be standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona. For real!! Heading out west for a week, and will fulfill one of the items on my "bucket list" by doing so in Winslow. Just missed their "10th annual Standing On The Corner Festival" last weekend! Oh well, have a good one!!

Anything is possible Roj,

Doorsman 54 — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 08:24:00 -0500

Anything is possible Roj, you just have to be kinder and gentler. Summers almost gone Roj, and people are strange, I went fishing the other day and it was like the horse latitudes and I will try not to ride on your storm. We will still have fun ROJ and for now, this is the end.

Chopper, How do you get

roj2000 — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 12:42:14 -0500

Chopper,

How do you get Robbie's wheel chair in and out of your boat when you go fishing. LOL I can't wait to hear the blog entries now that we have the "kinder/gentler" Doorsman/Chopper. I've had the "Roadhouse Blues" ever since you were outed! Oh well, life goes on, and so does this blog site.

Nice posting. I am old

Nice posting. I am old enough and was lucky enough to have seen the Doors in concert in Chitown in the late 60's. I am unlucky enough to have visited Morrison's grave in Paris and watched young people cutting themselves with glass to leave a little of their DNA of the grave of the so-called Lizard king. I think I have one Doors song among the 1000 on my MP3; that's exactly one more than my total number of country songs. Seems fair.

Welcome to the real world. It's not a bad place.

artron, You need to get out

roj2000 — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 09:05:20 -0500

artron,

You need to get out of "the shack" and come into town more often, and LIGHTEN UP!! LOL.... What is beyond retarded, is the intelligence of those Americans who think, just because a person is 1/2 black (Kenyan), with NO experience, can run a Country. Mayor Mason has more experience than Barak (Hussein) "Apollo Creed - The Chosen One" Obama!! It is so sad, that this (Obama) is the BEST the Demonrats can find!!

The lipstick joke by Sarah

artron — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 08:16:57 -0500

The lipstick joke by Sarah Palin at a national convention for someone accepting the nomination of the next highest office in the land. They would not even do that for local selectmen. This is beyond retarded.

concernedperson, Go ahead

roj2000 — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 06:49:20 -0500

concernedperson,

Go ahead and take on the role of Jesus in this little play!! I'm opting out! Like they say, "not all Muslims are terrorists, but ALL terrorists are Muslim"!! Me, I'm opting out of this scene! Of course someone will bring up that USA home grown terrorist Tim McVey, in Oklahoma, but he was just a copy cat! I have no problem with any religion, as long as it doesn't infringe on my family or their safety! You say we should not condem most of the Muslims because of the few who attacked us? Well then why should they not like us, just because they don't like a few of our leaders, etc.? I think you need to dig a little deeper into their "wack-o" religion and find out their "root" problems! It's not with us, it's "with them"!! They are NUTS!! I can handle the Christianity within our government, but when our money starts saying, "one nation under Allah", then they can ALL, K*** my A**!!!! Try going to New York City and see how we are forcing our way of life on the Muslims and the women with the red dots on their foreheads. Wait in line with them at GAP, or one of the other big box stores. Every one of them has a gun being heldto their head, forcing them to buy western clothing!! Why, because we "the arrogant Americans", who force them to come to our country and stand in line at the GAP and stink the whole place up!! It's disgusing!! Next thing you know we will be cutting their heads off, because they bought the last pair of blue jeans! Thank God I have McCain/Palin to keep me sane!!

Roj, Jesus was against

concernedperson — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 20:31:26 -0500

Roj, Jesus was against religionists as much as I am. I wouldn't force religion on anyone since I find that to be very restrictive. What I try to help people to do is to have a relationship with God according to His terms which I find very liberating. Anything less just doesn't work.

Roj, I have met many muslims

concernedperson — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:59:31 -0500

Roj, I have met many muslims and not many would be as you describe them to be. Yes in every population you have those who hate some populations more than others. Just because you see them as a threat to your lifestyle doesn't mean that they are as you see them. Stereotyping and hating those who did not have anything to do with the events that have brought us to our current national posture helps nothing. If history has taught us anything it is not to keep doing the things that won't work like killing without reason or conscience. You want to understand why so many foriegn cultures hate us? All you have to do is to look at our policies starting from the 1820's to present to see why foriegn countries hate us, we have exported our way of life on those who weren't ready for it and didn't want it I say let well enough alone. Who are we to think our ways are so much superior to those of other countries? It is that very type of arrogant policy that led Al Queda, and other terrorists to commit thier heinous acts of violence against us.
Go and take my religion to their countries? First I wouldn't presume to tell anyone that thier religion is false and built on a history of violence. They already know that, what would the point be? To live my arrogant ways in front of them and become an object of hatred for them? Actually I could do that if there was anything postive in it for them of for me. Others of my faith have done it and have done just fine. I might be able to live up to their example if those who have authority over me wanted to send me since I would not refuse them.

Thanks TJ for the comments,

Doorsman 54 — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:02:35 -0500

Thanks TJ for the comments, I also kicked myself for using a handle from the start, but you are right, it was easier, but even after my outage, I will still admit I have seen a UFO, I'm a moderate and I will try to help a question find an answer and that is what I set out to do, right or wrong, and I will continue to disagree or agree with Kay or Rog or 65 or Allen or you, or anyone that blogs here and I would expect the same back. You again are right, I may have to be kinder and gentler. Thanks again. Chopper, born in 54, graduated in 73 and loves the outdoors, the Doors too, I have all their albums and I take Robbie Krieger fishing, my claim to fame. Do you find yourself looking at an avatar and wondering who that is. There is always a code, a primmer, a key. Good night.

concernedperson, OK, I've

roj2000 — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 18:12:07 -0500

concernedperson,

OK, I've got a little project for ya!! Grab your little bible, and dress real nice like a good little American, and fly on over to the land of the Muslims, and walk off the plane amongst these animals, and see how long you last! I'll "have your back", over here in South Carolina. You see what all of this love and trust did for Jesus!! I'm not gonna sacrifice myself for a bunch of Muslims. They are still back in the stone age, and I think we should use some of our surplus nuc bombs and return them to Allah! If they had 1/4 of a brain, they would be able to use some sense and see that their way of life is not compatible with the rest of the earth. I've been told on here that I often offend most of Africa and Western Asia. WHO CARES?? Remember, stay on the offense and take the war to them!!

concernedperson, Yes, I do

roj2000 — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 17:57:26 -0500

concernedperson,

Yes, I do have a very big axe to grind, and I'm not done yet. Where did you go to public schools? When I was in Alexander Baker school, they decided to have Wednesday, religion teachings at various churches. Now, here is where it gets tricky!! The teacher said, take this note home and have one of your parents either check the block, a) is allowed to attend religion, or b) no they will not attend, and you can do whatever the hell you want to with my child while he is not in religion class. Since my Parents could give a flip about Religion, they checked the box for stay in school. That is when I and a few others got to do very demeaning tasks, up to the point of getting the S**t beat out of us. When that psycho teacher threatened that, then we all got "RELIGION" in our blood (instead of spilling it)! Now how is that for "religion classes"?? I believe religion is like any other thing, "good in moderation"! If you choose to believe in it, GREAT, you are much the better for it. If you choose to worship a walleye fish, go for it, and see where it gets you. But, don't get bug eyed, and start yelling , Allah-Allah, and blow up our buildings. Then I will come after you and do bad things to you! Simple as that! But, I disagree with your point that a lack of religion has led us to our current mess in this country. There are just as many phony politicians running around with their little bibles, as there are legitimate ones! Religion has never been the "cure all" for our problems. It just makes you feel better when you get the crappy news. The fundamentals of our current market system are sound, just ask McCain!! Even Barak "the chosen one" Obama said so today!

Roj, I have to point out

concernedperson — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 15:54:50 -0500

Roj, I have to point out here that the Christian faith is one of love not hate, even for one's enemies. Your post promotes hatred of those humans who being misled by phony religious leaders have impacted the world with their acts of violence and hatred, yet they are still humans tainted by sin and shame, degraded and deluded in believing their acts are are of loyalty and faith to their capricous god. Jesus would not have hated these individuals any more than a parent can hate thier bad mannered or criminal child, in fact he died out of love for them just as much as he died out of love for you or me.
Remember what Jesus said about those who are his followers? They will know us by our love one for another, and if we don't find a better way to impact our world, you might as well hide in your bomb shelter and wait until the end of all things.

Wow Roj, it seems as if you

concernedperson — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 15:43:00 -0500

Wow Roj, it seems as if you have a very old axe to grind here. No child come from the public schools to religious training unless their parents allow it. I agree no religion should be forced on a child period. However if thier parents choose for them to go it would seem that it isn't our business to overule the voice of the parent. God in his soveriegn wisdom gave us parents, and tasked them with the responsibility of training that child many things like morality and spirituality. It really saddens me when I see kids being bussed to church and not brought by their parents. Reseach has shown that by the time most children get to the age of 16 they leave the churches for a morally and spiritually devoid life. That it seems to me explains the current state of the country, how businessmen and government officials make such bad choices that cause the need for the government to have to loan money to the businesses to keep our economy from failing. It would seem that our current market system is just as bad as the communist one.
