I think you should become involved in giving nurses answers to the HAAD exams. Right up your alley.

@shewolfnm,
Hi, wolfie.

Women being on juries sounds like a good one (I'll admit that I don't presume anything about gollum's views).

I would think that on this forum there are many people that were brought up in the Catholic faith; however, due to their not believing in a god, or the rituals of the Church, they claim to have "left the church." One doesn't "leave" the Church, unless one is excommunicated, or perhaps, has joined another religion, but barring that there are many people obsessed about the belief that they have "left the Catholic Church." They might even get upset when told that there is no way to "just leave," like when one cancels one's subscription to a magazine.

Set, I think UFOs don't get enough attention. Especially when you consider that they've been here in the past and were the basis for all ancient civilizations. You think a bunch of of guys built the pyramids all by themselves? You think the Aztec and Mayan civilizations knew what they were doing?

Aliens. Here before. Coming again. They might even be here now. Get started on making your tinfoil hat.

This is perfect for you. History and meshuginaness. Obsession and no way to prove or disprove any of it. A matter of opinion and yours will be right.

Enjoy.

@Roberta,
Nothing human is alien to me ( "Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto").

I'm obsessed, I know (and meshuga too).

Speaking of obsessions, what the hell is it with you and Catholics?

I thought you were obsessed with pointing out the stupidity, in your considered opinion, of others. And name calling, of course.

Good observation. Having grown up in NYC, where Catholics are quite the top dog in many political arenas, it was quite eye-opening to learn, when in the military, that this country, in my opinion, is really owned by white Protestants. What a relief to discover that Leave It To Beaver types are really those folks that direct this country, and not the types that make urban America a joke for its poor English, and contempt for higher education.

Well, that was in the 1950's, and things likely changed somewhat; however, I do have the opinion that if the U.S.A. was a "Catholic country," my presence would be little valued. On the other hand, while white Protestants collectively might not want me over for dinner, they do seem to believe collectively that my presence has some value. Perhaps, they are just better at utilizing human resources? And I sort of feel that many Catholics would like to live in a Catholic country, as ancestors often did. Religious diversity is not their strong point, in my opinion. I could be totally wrong, but I never sensed a degree of hubris from Protestants and their beliefs that I believe I felt from Catholics, even when they were not practicing? So, one should, I believe, take responsibility for a less than friendly image in urban America.

Perhaps, part of the problem is that Catholicism in America is shared by mainly ethnic groups that have not overcome their ethnocentricity? However, if Europe is any help at this question, Europe's history is a litany of Catholic hubris, in my opinion.

I think many Catholics also believe that they "have arrived" socially. I do not believe that. They have arrived to live comfortably. But, socially, it is still a WASP society, with Catholics and Jews only tolerated/pandered to, in my opinion.

The above is in context of my obsession with "knowing the score," so one does not spend one's life angry at those that are really out of one's league. Humility has also been an obsession of mine, in the sense that one should "know one's place" in society. I have met so many people of a Catholic background that are oblivious to "their place" in society.

@Setanta,
Does this mean you've rejected the aliens obsession suggestion? Dejected and despondent. I was only trying to help.

@Roberta,
Not necessarily . . . it depends on the opportunity to log in to other sites and irritate the regular members there . . . i'm still in the midst of the selection process . . .

You could obsess on "How to Choose Dog Dresses for Different Weather Conditions?" I just saw a thread on that.

@engineer,
But does it have legs?

Yesterday, some joker logged into a thread by an Afrikaaner racist who thinks white women are being "taken away" by non-whites. This new joker had a standard racist and paternalistic rant, so i spent a good deal of the afternoon playing with the clown.

It then occurred to me that if i had such an obsession, i could go from web site to web site, posting incredibly stupid things, and irritate the regular particpants.

So i need something really, really good. I rejected the idea of doing the racist thing--i'm not familiar with their propaganda.
