Resolved Question: meeting guy from internet?
my friend is addamently against meeting strange men on the internet, which is very understandable. But for the past month, I've meet a kool seemingly normal jewish guy from the eastcoast on hotornot. I know dear reader that you will criticize me based on that. And I don't blame you. I would too. I always look forward to chatting with this guy. I love his sense of humor (very diff than my own), and non-sexual display of affection (theres no dirty undertones). We've exchanged pics too. Fact#1 He Has this t-shirt with an outlined face on it that describes it as Natalie Portman's stalker (ex: blue eyes, 5'8..etc). Fact#3 on our first chat (he did not send pics then). He said his name was Moshe Bradman. Doing my own research (looking up public records) I figured Bradman was not his true last name. Its actually Goldberg. There was a 25 yr old man who lived in the eastcoast state , Moshe has told me. Then it clicked. there was a listing of other relatives (sisters) which he also told me he had. Fact#3: the peice struck me as odd, sorry its a little long so bear with. me. 02 (6:35:09 PM): but I saw last night a movie called good dick...and it was interesting 02 (6:35:15 PM): I'd recommend it 02 (6:35:26 PM): I am recommending it 02 (6:35:27 PM): lol joux11 (6:36:37 PM): sure its not a... joux11 (6:36:40 PM): lol 02 (6:36:53 PM): a what? joux11 (6:37:02 PM): nothing, sounds interesting joux11 (6:37:07 PM): lol 02 (6:37:11 PM): lol 02 (6:37:19 PM): what? speak up?

Resolved Question: The ones who blame democrats and liberals for being uneducated dumbs.?
I respect everyone's political view, I'm not saying republicans are evil, but maybe before you call democrats "idiots", you should remember most republican celebrities are either racist or has some serious problems. When liberals and democrats are activists and most respected people in their industry. What do you think after seeing that list? **Celebrity Democrats** Sean Penn George Clooney Bono Brad Pitt Matt Damon Ben Affleck Leonardo DiCaprio Tom Hanks Paul Newman Robert DeNiro Jack Nicholson Jane Fonda Whoopi Goldberg Sheryl Crow Susan Sarandon Steven Spielberg Dustin Hoffman Barbra Streisand Wyclef Jean Natalie Portman Scarlett Johansson Michael J Fox Meryl Streep Robin Williams Oprah Winfrey Shirley MacLaine Kirk Douglas Richard Gere Michael Jordan Chris Rock.... the list goes on and on ** Celebrity Republicans ** Stephen Baldwin Mel Gibson Michael Richards Britney Spears Chuck Norris Arnold Schwarzenegger Jon Voight James Woods I know about history and politics. I studied them both. My point is, most educated and respected people are democrats. Tom Hanks and Natalie Portman are way more intelligent and respected than Mel Gibson or Britney Spears. I give examples from celebs because we all know them. My professor friends are also democrats but you wouldn't know who I'm talking about if I give their names, would you? :) By the way, "broke and happy ", republicans are wealthy too. In fact, Mel Gibson has a lot more money than most celebs since he's not just an actor but also a business man, director and producer.
