Do you know that XM/Sirius *still* isn't available on my island? How weird is that? And my car is already XM-ready .. :(

I think that's awesome, Prof ... my kids are always busy 'catching up' because they have hectic schedules but they have tons of homework. I think for some kids piling on too much homework works in reverse - makes them not want to do any of it because there's just so much. I swear if it wasn't...

No kidding .. It went way off track :D .. still a good conversation though - but a tough one because so many people feel so strongly about parenthood. I can see Prof and spike's points - and both make great arguments and great points. I've seen far too many people who are parents who really...

WOOOHOOO we're almost down to $3/gallon!!!!! We're teetering here - some stations are still charging $3.15 to pay for the last weeks shipment and others are down to $3.05. It's exciting to not pay $4.79 anymore .... I hope it lasts .. I pray it lasts ...

For about 100 years prior to 1950 Hawaiians started to think about our way of life because it was deteriorating quickly due to the western influx and Christianity. I'm not going to get into our history because in my experience when dealing with you and matters of our history you are open to...

Sorry, but I don't "need" to assert my identity through anything. I know who I am. I know who my ancestors were further back than you have fingers and toes to count as do my children.

Hence adding "if it's pointless to you, it can mean nothing to me". Before the time of the "melting pot", families were culture-based. All I'm saying is as one who was lucky enough to grow up in an actual culture-based family, I find it sad on a personal level when others find it pointless -...

+1 for Prof .. Plus, you get to talk smack about people who aren't in the forum :D I'm just kidding ... :P

Yeah, we're known a lot to non-Pacific-Islanders as "Pacific Islanders", regardless of our Nationalities. Most of us will differentiate ourselves from one another because of our proud heritages and because we know and understand the difference. It's pretty much the same as "Asians" - they're...

Personally, I find that kind of sad .. but if it's pointless to you, it can mean nothing to me. I just hope I - and every single one of my descendents - never feel that way.

Yeah .. they must have shitloads of plasma tvs ...

What's not good, waiting until the gas light is on to fill up? I don't think I've ever heard that before ..

You *really* have a thing for people who own plasma tvs :D But I totally understand a part of what you're saying .. it's disheartening when you're in the grocery store, planning your meals for the next week and literally counting the money you have to pay for it and the woman in front of you...

Then I am a 'part-european, part-native Hawaiian, born-as-a-Marine-brat American' :hairbang:

I just want to say mahalo to everyone who participated and gave me a lot to think about. Good luck at the polls tomorrow :)

Yeah, actually I was surprised too .. I thought it would go to 7 games .. BUT I have to say that the Rays didn't just hand over the penant .. they played hard but you could tell they were just a bit outdone in every inning ..

just dies laughing ... This is probably one of the most humorous and entertaining threads I've ever read in TRW. Gotta love it :D

don't you have cable? I know what you mean though - Hawai'i doesn't have any professional teams so we're stuck with whatever is broadcast to watch .. and most people pick teams from the West Coast to support.

blasphemer! :eek13: hehehe .. I am a Red Sox fan .. sorta .. I don't know much about baseball and this is the first season I watched it. I liked the Rays though - liked their work ethic and their philosophy .. but I am glad the Phillies won.

Just because one isn't using 5 year-old language and calling someone a doo-doo head doesn't mean they're not calling someone names. I would have thought you knew that seeing as how it happens in here all too often.
