I keep seeing these people say "don't loose focus" "don't fall for it" whatever other b.s.
can most people not focus on more than one thing at a time? am i a super person or something because I CAN focus on more than one thing at a time??

Balance the household budget
Create a home for them

4. The DU "hall monitors" drive me crazy.
Don't you dare post about this or that.

Too much Schaivo, too much about the hurricane, too much cowbell.

8. we're all superpeople in here
compared to the infotainment media and the other 50% of the population. You know, sound bites and short attention spans and all that.

Bush/Rove are doing this distraction thing because it works. It works. They do it over and over and over. People listen to the top story for 30 seconds and then turn to Survivor. Sad but true.

9. All Woman Are Super When It Involves Multi Tasking
I am 54 years old and have compiled some intractable positions as a result of my 54 years of experience interacting with and observing people.

One irrefutable claim I am confident in making is that woman can juggle more activities at the same time. A man on the other hand, like myself, has to turn off the car radio when he begins to loose track of where he is driving for the first time. Whenever I'm going to a meeting or driving to a strange place I have to turn down the radio at the point when I begin to think "Wait a minute, wasn't I supposed to turn left..." and off goes the radio.

We all know this. I accept it. Why challenge the fact that men and woman have "brain system" hard wired. Are there exceptions ? Of course. I know some woman who wretch at the notion of having children. However, once recognized, don't fight it, men. Succumb. Surrender. Get over it. Why fight it ?

Interesting how the sexes are programmed and I will contribute more as time goes by.

10. I posted on another thread a fast explanation of the connection...
between the Roberts nomination and the vendetta against Plame and Wilson, and will post this link again throughout the evening as I think appropriate. Here it is:

11. You are! And I'm a super man for the same reason.
I despise idiots who tell me I'm being distracted because I can take interest in SEVERAL political issues.

15. Yes, I think that you are
Heaven knows that the rest of us can't follow but one little ol' issue at a time. I am so empty-headed and spacy that I can only focus on ONE thing!

Wait - what was the question? I plumb forgot!

19. BTW, It's Humanly Impossible To FOCUS On More Than One Thing
the human mind and psyche can only FOCUS on one thing at a time.

Maybe if you're so smart, you might want to find a different word other than 'focus'.
