			<link>http://unjoe.yuku.com/topic/4966/t/Working-Out.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ So, I decided today, besides to stop drinking soda, to start working out.  So I figured, &quot;well, why not make a thread for it.&quot;  Record keeping, you
could say.  And good for advice.
<br>
<br>
<br>
So... anyone have any advice when starting to work out?  Like what exercises to do, what to eat before and after, how to stay in shape, etc. ]]></description>

			<link>http://unjoe.yuku.com/topic/4912/t/drugs-v-alcohol.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ I thought i would start a thread on this because over here in the UK there has been a lot of debate about this issue recently.
<br>
<br>
this is because the head of the scientific group that advises the government came out and said the drugs where less dangerous to us then alcohol and as such
the government should change its policy on illegal drugs. This got him into home water with the person he advises the home Secretary and he was promptly
sacked, which lead to other members of the drug... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ This last year has been a rough one for me. There were times when I was extremely depressed, almost ready to die.... Things are better now, but I still look
upon it as the worst part of my life.
<br>
<br>
Having gone through that all, I find how the media portrays depression and suicide shocking. It isn&#39;t like that, at least not for me. Or, I was reading the
section in the health text book about suicide prevention, and it was so wrong... No one seems to understand what its like.

			<description><![CDATA[ This is just a notice that over the past couple of weeks I have decided to make some changes in my life.  First off I quit drinking any type of soda, my
personal poison was Mountain Dew, 12 days ago.  So far I&#39;m doing quite well with out it, I&#39;ve already lost right around 20 lbs of useless weight <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif"> and

			<link>http://unjoe.yuku.com/topic/4047/t/The-Earth-Is-Growing.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ I thought this was fascinating. Neal Adams made this video debunking the Pangea &quot;Super Continent&quot; theory that says that all the continents were part
of one super continent on an Earth much the size of the current one and that the oceans were formed already. Then, according to the throry, the continents
drifted apart. He claims that the Earth was simply much smaller and as it expanded the land masses were wedged further apart.

know anything, I am just a kid etc. If nobody takes what you say seriously and dismisses your arguements as and &quot;emotional plea&quot; and etc. is their
any reason to talk about important issues at all? ]]></description>

poetry, short stories, perhaps even trying their hand at a novel. And given the caliber of some of the RPing I&#39;ve read, I would assume that at least a few
of you do...

Anyway, I used to write a lot when I was in middle and high school. Then my computer crashed and I lost everything. But right at the time that had happened, I... ]]></description>

      God why is every damn thing so hard. I suppose things seem a lot harder to me now that I have less money available. I was keenly aware of how easy it was
  to throw money at a problem to make it go away back when I had so much of it. Golly I miss that. I sure wish they would lower the bar a little for me though.

...and since I found it via Digg, I was also reading the comment thread, where a debate was raging over whether raising the gas tax was a good thing or a bad
thing. I&#39;d like to know where people come down on this issue.

I love the fact that we have gas below $2 a gallon, but I totally see the side of the argument that says we... ]]></description>

<br>
<br>
Teneniel Djo was a slavemaster.  Was she a bad person, did she mistreat her males and not consider them human?
<br>
<br>
People automatically point to Thomas Jefferson&#39;s slaves as a sign that he&#39;s a hypocrit.  How many people here can honestly say that they know he did
not believe his slaves to be equal?  He had a child with one, although that could point in either direction.  The point is, most people using... ]]></description>

legal standpoint I do not see how marriage can be denied to people who are Gay. As American citizens they are entiled to the same rights as straight people.

From a releigious standpoint  however,I do not believe same sex marriage is what God intended but since there is separation of church and state in our

I found this article on yahoo and it just deeply disturbs me.  I would absolutely hate to be the first women tested for this crap.  Let&#39;s just all admit
that women are good at sports too.  What&#39;s next?  Are they going to ban gay men from competing in the Olympics b/c they&#39;re to feminine? ]]></description>
