  1. Imagine me and you, I do
    I think about you day and night, it's only right
    To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
    So happy together

    If I should call you up, invest a dime
    And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
    Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
    So happy together

  7. When we were young, the future was so bright

    The old neighborhood was so alive

    And every kid on the whole damn street

    Was gonna make it big and not be beat

     

    Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn

    The kids are grown up, but their lives are worn

    How can one little street

    Swallow so many lives

    Hi Mup,

     

    I can commit to rational analysis on this issue, but not much more.  What I don't know about Russia and Ukraine would fill the soon-to-be-built open-aired/non-dome stadium in OP.    I'll watch the video later today, though admittedly I likely will feel I'm being manipulated in the first 60 seconds.  My curse, and a gift of sorts to me, is I'm cynical about intent and being told only part of the story virtually every time I wade into something like this. 

     

    Big picture, I'm near certain that the pre-war issues between Russia and Ukraine are/were exceptionally complicated.  I think it's hard for average Americans to wrap their heads around the strife/struggles facing people who live in that region given alliances and hostilities that have arisen over the past thousand years or so.  Over here, we flip some spit to a company like 23NME, find out some small part of us traces back to a geographic area where Kyiv is situated and holy crap, we're 1/53rd Ukrainian.  Or, maybe we look a bit harder and see our ancestors may have actually hailed from what is known today as Belarus, Russia or Poland.  Over there, they don't need any of that to tell them who they are, and who their people were, right, wrong or indifferent.  And, of course, to some folks over there it's deadly serious to them. 

     

    Where that leaves me is that while I know nothing about who was who(m) before they are who(m) they are now, I do understand an awful lot about human suffering and man's inhumanity to man.  I'm reminded of an old expression about old men starting wars and young men being sent to die in the fight.  It's all just so &*&^ing tragic to me.  

     

    As for a professor/teacher offering "balanced" analysis of the crisis, I get a bit squeamish when a deep dive is offered and that results in banishment from the kingdom of knowledge.  I think one can understand the relative appeal of early-Adolph given the relative ignorance of people at the time and the general mindset of the Cherman people in the 1930s, discuss it openly and not be labelled a supporter of Hitler and his atrocities.  I think a class entitled "How did we get here?" if taught fairly and openly, often leads to a debrief properly labelled "Crisis Averted" down the road.  

     

    Peace friend.

     

     

     

     

    I decided I needed to look up the definition of indoctrination:

    Quote

    the process of teaching a person or group to accept a set of beliefs uncritically.

    what I want to say is giving students information is part and parcel of what a teacher Does  right? Its the job description So by definition a teacher would need to be able to critique the information they are teaching and trust it is valid. It's not the parceling out of information I have a problem with. It was the insinuation that said "Indoctrination" would be anti-Russia and Pro-Ukraine. In my view that is understandable in light of the actions taken by putin invading Ukraine. I am so not buying the Russian propaganda stating this was a war to fight nazism/poitical domination? seriously? Pot call kettle much vladimir? I personally am not in favor of banishing information. What is needed is truthful unbiased information. A Much harder ask clearly

     

    We wholeheartedly agree that war sucks, war is in a word tragic and involves death and destruction. And innocents on both sides will be paying in some cases the ultimate price. And if not death then financial and a ruining of a persons sense of security and Home. Suffering and grieving on both sides. The fact that a person can be evil and have others rationalize and justify it is a given proven in history. And we now live in a nuclear charged world when one false move could well spell catastrophe on a scale as yet unseen in world wide history. Crisis averted AMEN (which means may it be so)

     

    This entire situation is a MESS. Im tryin to be thoughtful and real about it in seeking answers and conclusions. I asked for your take because I trust your intellect.

     

    Thanks for the reply mate. God help us all.-m

  9. Never know how much I love you
    Never know how much I care
    When you put your arms around me
    I get a fever that's so hard to bear
    You give me fever,

    When you kiss me
    Fever when you hold me tight
    Fever
    In the mornin', a fever all through the night

    "Spread Russian Propaganda"

     

     

     

    Libs are complete fascist thugs.  

     

    Good luck to teachers trying teach about this now. 

     

    Classes only going to be:

     

    Teacher:  "Putin is evil we must stop him."  

     

    Student:  "Does Russia have a historical claim....as in the beginnings of modern day Russia have roots in Kiev?  Can you explain this?"

     

    Teacher:  "We're moving on to the next boring cookie cutter indoctrination lesson."

     

    Im wading in here reluctantly. But this post (either rightly or wrongly) imo is basically insinuating with a very straight face that Russian political issues in the Ukraine are in some way justifying what despot putin is doing now......the war that  is occurring right now on the hourly/daily is "explainable"..? Yeah right. Siding with a lunatic despot. This thinking would try to explain away hitler too. What a joke. To me they were/ are equal crazy equal ruthless equal WRONG  ...explain it? Yeah its called Evil.

     

     

    @leh-nerd skin-erd I need a rational voice to listen to this with me and give me your honest impression/thoughts. I unlike most posters in this thread Know I need discernment and wisdom to assimilate all that is currently happening in the Ukraine.  I like when Russel says the comments make his threads a think tank community hopefully learning and growing together...(my interpretation of his preliminary  comments )

  11. Crying, “Jesus, help me
    To feel the love again in my own land;
    But if unknown roads lead away from home,
    Give me loving arms, away from harm.”

    Can you hear the voice of the children
    Softly pleading for silence in a shattered world?
    Angry guns preach a gospel full of hate,
    Blood of the innocent on their hands.

    Crying, “Jesus, help me
    To feel the sun again upon my face;
    For when darkness clears I know you’re near,
    Bringing peace again.”

    Dali cujete sve djecje molitive?
    Can you hear the prayer of the children

  12. Last Sunday morning, the sunshine felt like rain
    The week before, they all seemed the same
    With the help of God and true friends, I've come to realize
    I still have two strong legs, and even wings to fly

    So I ain't wastin' time no more
    'Cause time goes by like hurricanes, and faster things

  13. See the curtains hangin' in the window
    In the evening on a Friday night
    A little light a-shinin' through the window
    Lets me know everything's all right

    Summer breeze makes me feel fine
    Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
    Summer breeze makes me feel fine
    Blowin' though the jasmine in my mind

     

  14. Lord please bless this young man with healing. Direct it, guide the medical team and cover all logistics and circumstances to best accomplish what is coming in the future. We pray for a liver donor and that the process be accomplished asap. Bless the giver and his family and friends. Lord have Mercy.  and please God give peace and comfort and strength to bear this all that are involved. In Jesus name Amen.

  15. Don't let the sun go down on me
    Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
    I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
    But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

     

  16. Well, I've got two lovers and I ain't ashamed
    Two lovers, and I love them both the same

    Let me tell you 'bout my first lover
    He's sweet and kind and he's mine, all mine
    He treats me good like a lover should
    And makes me love him
    I really really love him
    I love him so (love him so)
    And I'll do everything I can to let him know

    But, I've got two lovers and I ain't ashamed

  18. It seems no one can help me now
    I'm in too deep
    There's no way out
    This time I have really lead myself astray

    Runaway train never going back
    Wrong way on a one-way track
    Seems like I should be getting somewhere
    Somehow I'm neither here nor there

  19. I stopped an old man along the way
    Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
    He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"

    It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you
    There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
    I bless the rains down in Africa
    Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

  20. Well now keep on truckin' mama, truckin' my blues away
    Keep on truckin' mama, truckin' my blues away
    Here you come mama big as sin, tell what you been doin' by the shape you're in
    So keep on truckin' mama, truckin' my blues away
