I'll stir the pot.

Some of the things I believe. Not everything, but some. What are some of yours?

I believe that:

God is real and he talks to me all of the time.

Everyone should pay taxes, even if it's just a little bit. Nobody should ride the USA train for free.

Pot should be legalized.

Most Truck Drivers really are safe and courteous, and most people who drive cars are not.

Global warming is not near as much of a threat to the environment as "tolerance" is.

People don't really have a problem with illegal immigrants, they just hate Spanish speaking people. Nobody hates Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, or Crocodile Dundee.

The right to own as many guns as I want should never be questioned as long as I am not a convicted felon.

If you can look in the mirror and truly tell yourself that you wish everyone on the planet worked as hard as you do, and helped his fellow man as hard as you do, and held the same core values as you do, then you have a right to complain. Otherwise you should just shut the hell up.

NASCAR is just stupid, but then so is Fishing on Television, Golf on the Radio, and almost everything you see on the news.

If you truly work hard, you will be successful no matter what you do.

Lazy people don't deserve a handout.

Mexicans make the best beer, and the Japanese make the best automobiles.

The only vehicles made in America that are better than any other countries are the Corvette, The Harley, and the Peterbilt.

Fat bottom girls are fun to drink with.

A good spouse is the greatest gift you will ever receive from God.

The shirt pocket, toilet paper, and the table saw, are three of the greatest inventions mankind has ever created.

Blondes have more fun, but Red Heads look better naked. :D

More later.

My main belief: God is real, set the rules, gave us a book to help us lead a rightous life but he does not pick and choose who lives or dies daily except for the choices WE make. I believe in an all powerful God but not one that chooses to let one preceious child live and another die. It happens because of the rules of the universe he created. I believe prayer strengthens our resolve to be better people and Christains and as a support for fellow Christains but God does not put his hand on one and not another.

And last I believe in one reality: "For God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten son that who so ever believeth in his shall not perish but have everlasting life. "

Lots of fun to be with and treated me like I was the only guy in the world.... well, until they dumped me! Anyways I think Red Heads have more fun but in general blonde's look better physically.

If pot is ever made legal, it just might disappear. For sure, since it's a drug AND Smoking, the feds would make every effort to tax it out of existence. They would also put a huge import tax on the stuff coming in from our southern neighbor countries which would create an international incident and eventually increase traffic in the hard stuff to make up for lost revenues.:D

PPHSfan
05-03-2009, 07:26 PM
OK here are some more.

I Believe:

To the victor go the spoils.

That you should have a job, before you get a cell phone.

That speed dial has ruined my memory.

That welfare recipients should have to pass a drug test, just like people that work for a living.

That everyone should try to learn a foreign language just for fun.

That a good meal at the end of a hard day is one of life's greatest pleasures.

That people should be required to take a shower and wear clean clothes before going to eat at a buffet.

That black and white are not opposite. If they are what are the opposite of green, purple, and orange?

That it's strange to me that some folks support abortion but oppose the death penalty.

That Tim Tebow will not win the Heisman this year.

That soccer is a silly sport, that should only be played by women and little kids.

That Tony is monitoring this thread to see what I say next.

I think that pot should be illegal and that if you are caught with it you should be put in jail. If you are caught selling pot or any other illegal drug that you should be given the death penalty. I also believe that the legal drinking age should be raised to 30. No one under thirty has lived long enough to have the maturity to drink responsibly.;) Other than than that I pretty much agree with L48.:D

Why do you believe that alcohol is ok, but pot isn't? And don't tell me that one is legal and the other is not, because that is the argument. That pot should be legal, not that it's ok to break the law and smoke it.

OK time for some more.

I Believe:

If you are white and over the age of 15 you should wear your baseball cap with the bill in front.

If your pants fall down below your waist you should get a belt.

If you pull into a gas station and leave your music playing loud enough for everyone in the neighborhood to hear it while you go inside the store, then I have a right to use a hammer to turn it down for you.

If you pass someone on the highway and then slow down in front of them you should lose your license.

Stupid people should note vote, drive, or breed.

The cost of my blood pressure medication is too high. ( It cost less to smoke a pack a day, than it does to take one lousy pill.)

Kids should not be allowed to watch movies without a G rating, or half of the kids shows on television.

It takes a village to raise a child.

There is justice in this world, but it doesn't happen until you die.

Taco Bell sucks, but Taco Bueno is not too bad.

All you can eat Buffets should be illegal.

That if marijuana is illegal then so should be cigarettes, alcohol, and quarter pounders with cheese.

The Downlow should only have ONE FORUM.

The NFL is ruining the game of football.

The French make better wine than we do, but that is the only thing.

You should never re-invent the wheel.

Technology has ruined ingenuity.

In buying from Mom and Pop stores even if the price is a little higher. Service goes a long way with me.

That if I come into your place of business and you have a less than cheerful attitude about taking my money, that I should have a right to just slap you.

Being Biblically correct IS far more important!:clap:

-I believe the people of this country should have the power to petition and have an elected official impeached, without ANY impedance from other elected officials.

-I believe scientists should spend more time mixing Biblical facts with their scientific findings, because if they used both they would come closer to finding out the truth about our existence.

-Charles Darwin was a FRUITCAKE!

-I believe in corporal punishment!

-I believe parents that don't believe in corporal punishment just need a GOOD WHOOPING!

-I think child molestation should be punishable by death.

I agree with you! For all the crap teachers put up with, they are definitely underpaid and underappreciated!

-I think they should do away with TAKS. Why do students have daily grades if the standard is set by the TAKS? Guidelines yes, TAKS no!

-Teachers should have more freedom to use their own creativity to draw out the best in a student, not have rigid curriculum standardized methods that are not working. Being the husband of a teacher and the father of two young daughters, I see first-hand some of these methods. They are not only ineffective, but stupid. Whoever writes these TAKS tests should be able to come up with the correct answers. I've seen a few answers that were incorrect. That's ludicrous, and should be unacceptable! The powers that be CAN'T stand to be corrected when they're wrong even when you can PROVE them wrong! Both of my daughters get commended on every test, but I'm against the TAKS tests!:mad:

Oh man....so many philosophies, so little time....

I believe we are not alone.

I don't think there is anything carnal about the human body as God created it.

I believe that anyone who destroys the innocence of a child should be shot.

I believe that each person must find their own path to God.

I believe that sports and the outdoors are two of the greatest outlets for our children's activities.

I think the use of steroids in pro sports is a runaway train.

I believe in the pursuit of knowledge for the sake of knowledge.

Mankind in it's greatest incarnation will never rival God.

A flower did not happen by accident.

All men are equal in my eyes until their actions cause them to be unworthy of my respect.

English is a rich, and varied language which most of us fail to use to full potential.

He who is without allegiance to anything loves only himself.

A person without passion for life is like Mexican food without spices.

I believe we are unhappy in life if we fail to use all the ability that God gives us---and I do believe that some receive greater gifts than others, and are therefore, are more unhappy if they squander them.

Anger yields satisfaction of the moment.....tolerance yields satisfaction for life.

There is nothing more beautiful than the smile of a child.

The pains of old age are the penalties for the pleasures of youth.

A good hit in football is like a straight shot of aged whisky.

Have to end by giving a couple of favorite life philosophy quotes:


The Impossible Dream
Lyrics by Joe Darion Music by Mitch Leigh
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To dream the impossible dream,
To fight the unbeatable foe,
To bear with unbearable sorrow,
To run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong,
To love pure and chaste from afar,
To try when your arms are too weary,
To reach the unreachable star.

This is my quest,
To follow that star --
No matter how hopeless,
No matter how far.

To fight for the right
Without question or pause,
To be willing to march
Into hell for a heavenly cause.

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will be peaceful and calm
when I'm laid to my rest.

And the world will be better for this,
that one man scorned and covered with scars
still strove with his last ounce of courage.
To reach the unreachable star.

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong
To be better far than you are
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star.

This is my quest, to follow that star,
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To be willing to give when there's no more to give
To be willing to die so that honor and justice may live

And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star.

and.....

Desiderata
-- written by Max Ehrmann in the 1920s --

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.


With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Some More

I Believe:

You should love your job with a passion. If you don't, you should do something else.

Everyone in this country over the age of 18 can be successful in life regardless of their childhood or demographic, if they will just try.

The wealthiest people in the world are the hardest working ones. (this does not include their wealthy offspring)

If you take away a man or woman's desire to better themselves, then they might as well be a communist.

Rap Music is a form of art that I will never be able to appreciate.

Van Halen not Van Haggar was the greatest rock and roll band that ever lived. But I think The Eagles have more talent.

Credit Cards are the most vile thing ever invented by man.

If you can afford the payment, you can afford to save for it.

That department stores should bring back lay-away.

That we as Americans are far too stuck on ourselves if we think we are the best at everything. We are hardly the best at anything. But this is still the greatest country on the planet.

That there should be no such thing as an Illegal Immigrant in the United States of America. That we should let anyone in who wants to work for a living, and that we should exile those that don't.

That green Kool-Aid should be sold again.

That I am the absolute best at what I do, and the day that I stop believing it, that I should just lay down and die.

More later.

There should be no interest but simple interest.

Voting is a privilege, not a right.

If you shake on it, it should be as good as being written down.

You should never have to apologize for not being on time.

Remember those who love you every day.

There is no more sincere love than in your dog's eyes when you pet him/her.

Nobody sang like Freddie Mercury.

The Egyptians and Mayans had help.

My creedo when having to get something difficult done ---"Stand and Deliver."

If some is good, more is better, and too much is just right.

Janis Joplin had a kind of soul in her music that has been lost.

Nothing sounds better than a Corvette.

Doo Wop music could be played anytime, anywhere, for anyone without having to make apologies to anyone.

Groucho Marx and PPHSFan would have been good friends.

Yes, you're right about fixing the kids and their parents. That would solve a lot of the problems teachers deal with. However, I don't agree with you on teachers' pay. They should be paid more, for sure.

I agree. If you can't get into this country legally, you don't belong here. If you come to our country you should work just like us, and pay taxes just like us.

I agree. People on welfare should not only have to submit to drug testing, they should have to actually work for that money, and show that they are actually trying to find regular employment.

I believe that we should do reversible sterilization on all female babies and only reverse the proceedure after permit is issued to married, stable adults! :D
I agree to a point, but if we teach these kids morals strongly enough, maybe they wouldn't be stuck with out-of-wedlock kids. Abstinence is the best policy, but there will always be those few that are easy............:doh: :D

In addition, if you are born in this country you should work just like us, and pay taxes just like us.

:thumbsup: Amen to that!:clap: Why should the tax burden be on those of us who WILL actually work, while those receiving government hand-outs sit on their lazy rearends and laugh at any notion of having to actually EARN a living? I don't owe them kind of people anything, including respect!:mad:

Some of the things I believe. Not everything, but some. What are some of yours?

I believe that:

God is real and he talks to me all of the time.

Everyone should pay taxes, even if it's just a little bit. Nobody should ride the USA train for free.

Pot should be legalized.

Most Truck Drivers really are safe and courteous, and most people who drive cars are not.

Global warming is not near as much of a threat to the environment as "tolerance" is.

People don't really have a problem with illegal immigrants, they just hate Spanish speaking people. Nobody hates Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, or Crocodile Dundee.

The right to own as many guns as I want should never be questioned as long as I am not a convicted felon.

If you can look in the mirror and truly tell yourself that you wish everyone on the planet worked as hard as you do, and helped his fellow man as hard as you do, and held the same core values as you do, then you have a right to complain. Otherwise you should just shut the hell up.

NASCAR is just stupid, but then so is Fishing on Television, Golf on the Radio, and almost everything you see on the news.

If you truly work hard, you will be successful no matter what you do.

Lazy people don't deserve a handout.

Mexicans make the best beer, and the Japanese make the best automobiles.

The only vehicles made in America that are better than any other countries are the Corvette, The Harley, and the Peterbilt.

Fat bottom girls are fun to drink with.

A good spouse is the greatest gift you will ever receive from God.

The shirt pocket, toilet paper, and the table saw, are three of the greatest inventions mankind has ever created.

Blondes have more fun, but Red Heads look better naked. :D

More later. I agree with everything except NASCAR ain't stupid:mad: , pot shouldn't be legalized, my brother makes better beer than the Mexicans and I prefer a Kenworth over a Peterbilt even though they're both pretty much the same truck.
