The rumor mills are at it again. Some are searching out Prince Harry's paternity. What motive other than mean-spirited savagery is there?
"Mean-spirited savagery"? The royals live off the backs of the working people of the United Kingdom, who are being asked to accept an austerity plan for their lives while cheering a 50 million pound wedding extravaganza for Prince Harry's brother, William. I think people of any country have a right to question the lies told by the rulers they support. And if you think the royal family no...

I don't mean to sound sexist or a feminist because I'm not, but do you think the world would be a better place if women had more power?
It would go a long way to healing our society if women and men were seen and treated equally under the law and in the market place. What roles men and women agree to in their relationships is far different than fair and equal treatment under the law and equal pay for equal work. Power? We could all do with a whole lot less of it .. male or female. Equality works across the board in matters...

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Is is closer to the novel than
Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein? in the transformation.
Mary Shelley wrote 'Frankenstein' in 1815 at the age of 18.
How could anyone be closer to the novel than its author?
The movie that came closest was, 'Frankenstein' in 1994, with Robert de Niro as the monster.
Mel Brooks story was a brilliant farce, but farce nonetheless.

Who was the original blue haired lady? Can you describe

The term comes from the blue hair rinse (dye) applied by hairdressers beginning in the 1940's to disguise yellow tones in gray hair. I knew elderly women as late as the 1980's who still used that blue rinse.
If you're asking who was the first woman to use this rinse - I can guarantee that she was old enough dye her gray hair.

Ladies:Do you think you can date just about any kind of guy?
Hell, no! Standards are as important to a quality life today as they were in the past. And I don't mean anything as basic as 'you gotta have a j.o.b. if you wanna be with me.' High standards today may mean you spend more time on your own than someone who'll settle for just any guy, but consider that you can do bad all by yourself, and one isn't the loneliest number. (If you're asking about...

Hitler painted a few pictures when he was young, that does not make him an artist.

Annie Dillard wrote in 'Pilgrim at Tinker Creek' that you could throw your spirit at a mountain and it would fold it and hand it back to you.

To a mountain, none of it's personal.

No one's life is always full of happiness, any more than a life of unending sorrow. Much of our happiness and our sorrow comes from our way of thinking or through our choices, though certainly not all. Remember two things when comparing yourself to others: 1) The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. 2) The sun don't shine on one dog's ass all the time. (my grandma used...

Do you believe Hitler was wrong in thinking that there is/was a master race, or just in thinking it is/was white people?
Define wrong. We're all of the human race. Racial division and the crazy arrogance of a master race has produced nothing but brutality, poverty, ignorance, slavery and the genocide of countless millions. Hitler and the idea of a master race cannot be described as wrong. It's wrong to spread gossip. Hitler was a genocidal fuckwad and 'wrong' is just way too understated.

my son, daughter-in-law and I signed a lease for a house. She moved out. do I have any say whether she can just up and move back in.
You didn't mention what your son wants, which is (imo) more important than your say since she is his wife. If he wants her back, getting in the middle of it will only backfire on you. If he wants her back, maybe it's time you move out and find a place of your own where you're not (inadvertantly) at the mercy of their marriage.
