[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 223361, member: 102"] I can't call Julie Grey a gigolo because a gigolo, by definition is male. Julie Grey was a traitorous, loose woman of ill-repute. Julie Grey would be a horrible choice for a young woman to have for a role model. If Julie had any good qualities, I don't remember them at the moment. The worst woman of all on Dallas of course was Rebecca Barnes, a woman who committed acts so evil as to be almost unspeakable. Pam sealed her fate when she chose to go looking for Rebecca because she ended up unleashing the malevolent forces of Rebecca and Katherine on herself as well as other innocents. By the time Rebecca's demon spawn, Katherine was dead, she had not only written a letter contributing to Pam and Bobby divorcing, but had gone on to murder the only man Pam ever truly loved and the father of their son Christopher. It wouldn't be OK if anyone shot Julie Grey. It's my philosophical belief that human life is sacred. Shooting is only justifiable in self-defense situations where death or serious bodily harm is imminent. If you are perplexed over this it's because you have missed huge portions of what I've written and have come to the erroneous conclusion that I see JR as having no flaws or defects of character. It's unfortunate that you missed or misunderstood what I wrote about JR because I have a phenomenally good understanding of his character. If you're truly interested, I will look for some posts I've written which make that self-evident. Please understand that may take several days as I've got a lot on my plate right now. As for alcoholism being a disease: Cancer is a disease. Being a drunk, or if you prefer, a lush, is a behavior. One of my wife's best friends died 7 years ago because of cancer. It wasn't because she engaged in a behavior that was bad for her and it wasn't because she refused to get treatment. Our friend would have given anything to hear from the doctor: "You will live if you just stop engaging in self-destructive behavior"! Had she merely been a lush, she could have gone to a treatment center for alcoholics and after 30 or 90 days there, could have returned home in far better health. With cancer, no such option exists. You don't get to "make your disease go away" just by stopping doing something. It's hardly fair to use the word "disease" for such distinctly different things as cancer and drinking too much. Terminal cancer patients would literally give anything to be in Sue Ellen's situation instead of having terminal cancer. They're your favorite couple but you think one deserved to be murdered by the other? If I had a favorite couple, I can assure you I would not wish for one of them to do any harm at all to the other. You and I have very different ways of thinking. [/QUOTE]
