    The best American patriotic song

    To me, the quintessential song has always been "Stars And Stripes Forever". Everytime I hear the song (especially in choir), it brings a tear to me ol' eye... cheers,

    how often do you go to mass/church?

    Just curious - but are you an objectivist by any chance? Just asking. Don't have to answer that if you don't want to :) cheers,

    To all the **** out there!

    Thanks Legzman. My wonderful **** called me. My darling wife made my favorite dish for dinner and we cuddled some :lovecoupl I spent a lot of time contemplating in the morning. I lost my ****** not too long ago. I'm old enough to be a grandfather myself, but it still hurts. Sometimes, I...

    worst genocide/holocaust ever? (explain your answer)

    "The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of a million is just a statistic". An ironic quote - if there ever was one - from Ol' Uncle Joe himself. I'm sorry, but I find it tasteless (not to mention pointless) to "compare" genocide. To the victims, it makes not a damn bit of a difference...

    dude; I don't care if your gay!!

    "Girly talkers" is your personal opinion, of course. In your mind, "girly talkers" = gay; right? I only mention this because you like to delve in stereotypes. Ahh! Finally!!! We arrive at the crux of the issue. slipnot331 does not like homosexuals. "Our orders"? Would you like to clarrify the...

    Why can Ryan Conner *******?

    Taking atypical antipstchotics doesn't = you'll start shooting milk. It's an "associated" side effect. Meaning? The vast majority of those who take the **** do not get it.... cheers,

    Why can Ryan Conner *******?

    Not neccesarily. ********* is primarily a hormonal function. Women who have never been pregnant can produce milk through a process known as "induced *********". Stimulate a breast often and regularly enough (sucking, breast pump etc.) and soon it'll start producing milk. Reflex pathways are...

    I don't know what you are paying for gasoline

    Or... I could have just saved myself some time and effort and looked it up on Snopes :crash: Mr. Wormer, :hatsoff: cheers,

    I don't know what you are paying for gasoline

    Problem is, this doesn't work. You can't mess with the law of supply and demand i.e prices go up when people buy more of a good. Prices go through the roof when demand outstrips supply. Don't forget that gasoline, like many products in the market, is a fungible commodity. If one gas company's...

    does obama have what it takes

    You mean JFK wasn't a "liberal"? :rolleyes: There is nothing "conservative" about Republicans, just as there is nothing "liberal" about Democrats. They are both big-government, statist parties. To them, the government comes first - not you. Labels mean nothing - Democrats 50 years ago supported...

    Money Looking Good For Paul Camp

    Once again: It's about the message, not about the man. "***** will get his yacht" ?? Uhh, not quite. Predictably, Dr. Paul releases campaign funds to finance a limited government advocacy group. It's mission? To get those who desire "limited government" elected to public office...

    Things you I don't give a fuck about...

    Yeah, but you apparently "give a fuck enough" to voice your opinion on most (if not all) threads relating to current events. Be it oil prices, the electoral college or the next president (for example). I say hypocrisy... ... what say you? cheers,

    Should the Electoral College be abolished?

    And what the hell would YOU know about "going to hell in a handbasket" ? Did you ever share one single prune with 6 of your ******** and rejoice that you had something to eat THAT week? Have you ever encountered "rationing" of everything from butter to nylon? Have you tasted or even known...

    Should the Electoral College be abolished?

    THANK YOU for pointing out the "elephant in the room", so to speak! If nothing else - it at least ensures that voters in the biggest States (New York, California, Texas) don't get to decide what's "ok" for the rest of the nation. This country is still - after all - a REPUBLIC. Not a...

    best pink floyd album?

    For me? Dark Side of The Moon. I can't put words to the feelings I get from that album. From the old, original LPs to the new ultra modern SVCDs .... Pure. Serene. Devastating. Pioneering. Complicated. Simple. Hell!!!! There are thousand other adjectives you could throw around but they'd...

    have you ever had a little Tourette syndrome?

    It's like saying "I have some cancer". Or more famously (given the deluge of similar cases I see every day in the ER): "I might be pregnant". Point being? You either are or you're not. Just as you can't be "somewhat pregnant" or have "some cancer" - you can't have "some Tourette's Syndrome"...

    White House, Senate Divided On How To Waste Money

    Let us all remember this one important message Ladies and Gentlemen: WE elected these scoundrels to office. And when an honest, upstanding person with a clean, unimpeachable record came along -- most of us rejected him as unworthy... "unelectable". A very common comment I heard was "he's too...

    US military: soldier shot at Quran for practice

    Actually, it's not the same argument. I agree with DS. Infact, Osama Bin Forgotten himself states that one of the "other" reasons the US is a target of his entity is because we favor nations that oppress muslim peoples - be it our support of Arab dictatorships or democratic governments in India...

    US military: soldier shot at Quran for practice

    (emphasis mine) What rock have you been living under? Plenty of muslims and US citizens (including US citizens professing Islam as their religion) have roundly condemned the attacks. Amongst the first foreign nations to call and offer condolences were Arab States. I will never forget the...

    Thank you. Can we please pick a candidate who will be faithful to Article II of the Constitution of the United States? You know... that thing that they "swear to uphold" when they assume office? That little thing that delineates their "powers"? Tells them what they can do and also what they...

    What is Prayer?

    I'm a decided atheist. My wife is spiritual, not religious. My view: Some adults hear voices in their heads and are declared insane by others... unless of course those voices claim to be divine. "Prayers to God" is no different from toddlers talking to their imaginary friend... My wife's...

    Is this dress suitable for a date?

    Suitableness of attire depends on the situation/function at hand. For example - does the "date" involve 'parents' of any kind?
