I don't subscribe to the notion that we are "the greatest country in the World". The Republic was conceived with the best of intentions but we've struggled with the implementation of those 'intentions' since the founding of the Republic. A most 'unique' country? Yes. The world's oldest...

Ahhh Petya! Wise words once again! :) I've seen and lived in Europe (Britain, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Denmark). There was (and still is) a reason I still came home to America instead of staying on... I bear no ill will to Europe and it's nations and their people. Y'all live your...

My post had nothing to do with the status of the Bolts and where they find themselves this year.... but it DOES have to do with the second aspect of your argument (especially the "officiating in more than a few games has been horrendous.") part. Guess what? The Bolts aren't the only team...

Not only that - the amount of 'whining' they engage against the calls of the officials is stupendous. Their team may be permitted to be "bad" at times - but by Jove, the MAJORITY is the fault of the officials - those good for nothing, cross eyed, can't call a cross-check from a 'love tap' no...

(emphases mine) That ought to tell the human "intellects" something... cheers,

Pray tell me why? Why is this current recession "looking to be the worse things since then" ??? Fallacy of the century... (and un unfortunately, not a new one). Why people assume "War is good for the economy" is beyond me. Perhaps, because said people only think of the short term and only in...

I'm not a fan of "Shaving Ryan's Privates". 1. The ****** on which the film was based on was a ****** I knew from my home town. 2. The film in general had waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many GROSS inaccuracies. This wasn't "poetic license". This was just plain, flat out factual, ridiculous...

(emphasis mine) Oh P-L-E-A-S-E!!!!! "Pride comes before a fall". I grow weary - personally - of this ridiculous, retarded, unconstitutional bullshit of "the demise of the greatest and most powerful nation on Earth."!!! We as a nation spend more government funds on arming other folks around...

The obvious advice is "Don't *****". That way there is no hangover. Failing that: 1. ***** lots of water. One of the primary causes of the headache in the morning is the dehydration. Ideally, you should ***** at least one glass of water for every once of ******. 2. I wouldn't worry too much...

That's a dumb argument. How many "Krishna" idols have you seen? How many "Buddha purnimas" or "Pongals" or Eid have you witnessed being celebrated. Hell (oh wait! DID I just invoke an image associated with Christianity? My bad), how many "Iftar" ceremonies have you attended? Just as it's...

When I was a *** barely 12 years old (a long, long, long time ago), I was hit by a car when I was trying to cross the street. The driver stopped, stared down, screamed and ****** me for "not being careful" and then drove away. I looked down and I could see ***** gushing in squirts onto the...

"This is my rifle. This is my ***. This one's for *******. This one's for fun". Hoo-ah. cheers, Unrepentant Grunt

Amusing :) cheers,

From my ****** to yours - may you enjoy a happy, prosperous and PEACEFUL New Year.

I agree. As much as I'd like to believe that I'm a discerning movie go-er, I think I'm inclined to agree with you. As "weird" as this probably sounds, one of the aspects of the original Star Wars that REALLY appealed to me; was using the great James Earl Jones to voice Vader. I mean, can you...

I'm thankful that I'm still alive, especially after this... I remember another year spent in the company of my lovely wife and darling ******** and adoring dogs. Frankly, all else pale in comparison. cheers,

Nurses in South New Jersey start at around $25/hour. Paramedics make even less... These are people who save lives - every fucking day.... and New Jersey isn't a "cheap place to live" by any standard. Fuck the auto companies and fuck their fucking unions. Far too long have they enjoyed...

Let it go ***. It's not worth it. cheers,

And so were you...

That's right. You read the title correctly. We can all be heroes. How? By learning CardioPulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Imagine the scenario: You're standing in the checkout line at your local grocer. Suddenly, someone collapses and falls to the ground near you. What do you do? OR... you're...

LOL! I don't know the "answer". All my tired, old, fading memory knows is "that ain't 40s music!" :1orglaugh You're probably close to the mark. Late 50s - early 60s is where I'd place it. Dude, you're taking me on a good trip down memory lane.... bike rides by the beach with my buddies...

You **** don't really want to know what I paid for gas when I was .... Ahh well. It was a loooooooooooooooong time ago! :o Y'all REALLY need to read What Has Government Done To Our Money? cheers,

52 and heart failure???!!! Something smells....

I don't claim to be an expert or some such but... .... that wasn't "40s music". cheers,

Uhhh, no. It's called "winter". Traditionally in the US, winter time sees far lower gas prices at the pump than during the summer (especially the peak holiday season of the summer). Demand drives supply. Supply drives demand. Together, they both regulate prices.... despite what the idiots in...

*shameless bump* Only 3 marrow donors??!! Come on guys and gals! We can do better than that! Marrow donation is extremely geno-specific. Meaning? Your genes (and hence your ethnicity/heritage) plays a HUGE role. The more people who volunteer and provide samples, the greater the chances that...

*shameless bump*

Ditto here. Holidays, ambulances and fire trucks are on duty 24/7/365. The smaller towns and communities particularly depend on their 'volunteer staff'.

An astute post there, Legzman. Quite astute.

Wait - you're using a story with the Freepers listed as a source?? The Freepers are the "Fox News" of the internet... well maybe not. At least they don't ever claim to be "Fair and Balanced".

It's called 'formality'. A word - and concept - you youngin's aren't too familiar with it seems. I'm not entirely surprised, since your generation seems to know as much about writing and courtesy as much as my generation knows about the latest shoot-'em up video game. A gentleman says what he...

Rubbish. I've never liked his line of work nor fancied it... ... but that doesn't negate my opinion on his prosecution and sentencing for "obscenity". Check any "Max Hardcore" thread I've participated in - my opinions have always been consistent - "I don't like what he peddles but it's his...

"The Federal Reserve is as Federal as Federal Express (FedEx)" cheers,

It's a silhouette of Vietnam super-imposed over the flag of South Vietnam (the source for the ribbon of the Vietnam Service Medal) "Raaawwwrrr" :D cheers,

A myth. If Clinton truly controlled spending and cut back on waste - why did our debt continue to grow? Didn't he "leave us with a surplus"? There WAS NO deficit "reduction" and certainly no "surplus". I'm still surprised people talk about the surplus of the 1990s. Here's some figures. Not...

Amazing! :rolleyes: For years Austrian economists and people like Dr. Paul have warned about the perils of deficit economy and run away spending... but no body paid any attention. Now that we've literally been caught with our pants down, suddenly everyone seems concerned about the dollar and...

This is complete and utter fucking bullshit. Can someone please explain what the US POSTAL SERVICE had to do with this issue???!!!! Land of the Free in my dreams all right.... I weep for my country :-(

Why - oh why- do we forget the Mexican American War? The butchery perpetrated on the Filipinos? Or what we did to the indigenous folks here on this continent and the messed up "treaties" with the Indians? Frankly, I'm sick and tired of American ***** being spilt around the world. Period. I...

Apparently, me old carcass still lasts; despite the ravages of war, the elements and the ages. If all goes well, my darling wife and I will be grandparents soon :-)

Economists from the Austrian School predicted this mess way back in 2001 (and earlier). Americans either don't want to or don't care to understand the business cycle that is the penultimate consequence of the monetary unit destruction that is the end result of Federal Reserve (a private bank...

You **** actually think that this election will make a difference in America.... I recall South Park saying something about electing a Turd Sandwich versus a Douche Bag the last time around. History repeats itself, apparently...

Or maybe she has a form of vitiligo .... cheers,

Somehow the same kind of people who shriek and holler about "obscene pornography" are almost always the same kind of folks who croon and prattle on and rave about the latest "war movie" which invariably shows the 'heroic US armed ******' blowing the 'other side' to smithereens. On one side you...

So long Mr. Newman. The world is a poorer place without his presence. :( - R.

Permit me - both as a parent and as a human being - to disagree. **** are often more aware than adults give them credit for. cheers,

NyQuil contains Dextrmethorphan (DXM - popular street ****) and some versions of it also contain Pseudoephedrine which is widely used in the preparation of the increasingly popular street **** Crystal Methamphetamine. Welcome to the yet another 'unintended consequence' of the phenomenal failure...

Damn! What a loss :( Rest in Peace Richard. You've earned it. - R

Oh... and I also dig: Road Trippin' by RHCP :) cheers,
