I'm more into OK Computer, *** A, Amnesiac. I like their earlier ones too - Pablo Honey and the Bends. For some reason, "Climbing Up the Walls" totally trips me out every time I listen to it.... I love listening to "OK Computer/*** A" when playing Starcraft - for some reason, the music...

Thanks.Good story. A buddy of mine knew Kelly and his 'Skunk Works' department. The man is as devilish as the planes he crafted. Never flew a fast jet but as a scout, I often talked to airdales and their ground controllers - mostly Thuds and Phantoms. cheers, PS: Anyone know if the X-7...

Interestingly enough, the tree from the song "One Tree Hill" was taken down too... Their last great album - IMHO. They went to **** after that... cheers,

A few points: 1. I've already said in this thread: The different "definitions" of race are different as far as different entities go (a good analogy is "Theory" as discussed by scientists versus "theory" as discussed by the lay person. e.g. "Theory" of gravity). Again, all you have to do is...

Good point. But how does "ethnicity" cause valid differences in human populations? How does "ethinicity" explain "susceptibility" (to certain conditions/diseases)? If my parents immigrated to Puerto Rico, and I was born there - does that make me "Puerto Rican" by "ethnicity" ? Let's look at a...

I wondered about that too - I mean, why not resign and step up and say "I resigned because I couldn't do so-and-so any more. These guys are a bunch of liars and crooks". Kinda seems pointless to "come clean" after the fact... cheers,

Re: The song of their generation.... That's a very interesting post there AFA. I've probably had one ***** too many but what the hell - To be very honest - I never did. I volunteered for Vietnam not out of "patriotism" or to "defend the free world from Communism" or some other bull ****. I went...

xxaru (and the other membership in general): Good - but rebuatable points. The only reason I'm posting this post is to let you know that I've read your response and I'm prepared to post a reasponse.... .... just not to day! While it may seem like a clumsy "excuse", the truth of the matter is...

Re: The song of their generation.... LOL! Maybe I ought to request "Song of the present generation - according to my ***" as thread title :1orglaugh (I'm not really laughing at your suggestion - just amusing myself at the discrepancy, that's all :))

I don't think I am... but please do explain... :) cheers,

Re: The song of their generation.... Nice songs, y'all.... ... but we aren't really discussing the Vietnam generation here. Can a MOD please change the thread "title" to "Song of the present generation" or "Song of the current generation"? Thanks.... - R.

IMHO - they discredit Buffalo, NY. It is currently undergoing a transformation - and it's transforming faster than most "rust-belt" cities. No doubt the death of Bethlehelm Steel dealt a HUGE blow to the industrial heart of Buffalo - but the city by itself didn't die... It's re-inventing...

I would just like add a cautionary note to this post: 1. "Race" is used every fucking day by members of the health care profession. E.g.: "Blacks" (or African Americans if you want to be PC) are more susceptible to hypertension, sickle cell anemia and renal disease. 2. "Race" is used every...

Re: The song of their generation.... I realize that now. Let me put it bluntly: Vietnam does not bring forth "happy memories". No happy songs or graphics will change that sentiment. I'm not "generalizing" Vietnam as a "ugly place" - just that for me, it 'holds' different 'values'.... For many...

My biggest concern now? * Cheating death (again!) till I see my **** get married and see my grandchildren. * My wife's arthritis - especially her osteoarthritis affecting her back. She's very miserable when she has flare ups... :( - R.

Re: The song of their generation.... You're forgiven! ;) (but I understand what you're trying to say though!:)) If you wanted to post a song from that era? I have a fantastic one linked in my sig: The Forever War - as seen through the haunting lyrics of "Gimme Shelter" by The Rolling Stones...

I mean this as no offense - but you've probably hit the proverbial "nail on the head". Unless folks lived through it - they have no idea what it was like. Being drafted or other wise - only those who've "seen the elephant" can have an understanding of what it is and what it can lead to.... Again...

Quick update - tickets booked and confirmed! My dear ******** comes home coming Sunday and she'll spend a couple days with her ****** (and me! :D) before we depart on the coming Wednesday! :) McRocket (and this goes for the rest of y'all) - if you are a human being who desires to help others...

Must have been a different "Vietnam Era" from the one I survived. I'm an old man now and my memory is often feeble, but from what I can recall and recollect - veterans of the Forever War were neither famous nor celebrated during their times. Hell, even today... - R.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdV7YsM-N50 .... according to my ***, anyway. And might I add - I'm pleasantly surprised that he'd forward such a message to me. He's always been a more "mainline conservative" than I've ever been (I've been a "traditional liberal" for decades now). cheers,

Actually we never really know.... The Federal Reserve system is a system of private banks monopolizing the currency of the United States. There is no true Congressional oversight. A few years ago, they even stopped publishing M3 money supply statistics - since then, we have no fucking clue as...

My parents (and grand parents) lived through the Great Depression. I was born not too soon after... cheers,

:thumbsup: cheers,

Besides - forgiveness is pointless without repentance. god doesn't grant forgiveness just because you ask for it. You confess and you repent and if you do a good job of it all, ultimately god will forgive you. cheers,

*Badabump*

I'm just stupid but I did notice that the Statue was facing backwards towards New York harbor. I do realize that this is a "film". I'm not trying to point/paint out a "big deal" out of this.... :) cheers,

Proof? I've listed PLENTY of news information where ordinary citizens "use guns" in protection. This does not include cases where a *** was merely "present" which served to deter crime. You have the "reasons" all wrong. The founding ******'s wanted the people to be armed not so that "they...

I would like to second this post! Yes, it is a 'weird' procedure - but would you let "weirdness" stand in the way of your health and well being ?? :confused: Many people think the 'prostate gland' is a nuisance. Actually it's not. If it weren't for a healthy prostate and Cowper's glands -...

*bump* And I must agree with McRocket --- while I know the whole lot of you will "scoff" at the suggestion - "breast cancer" DOES happen amongst MEN as well. NO - I'm NOT kidding. Though far less common than in women, it is possible for men to develop breast cancer. The American Cancer...

Re: Subject ... I've refrained from commenting (on both) your threads for a while now. For many reasons (some of 'em will no doubt come out in this post). Your listed age says 34. Since when is 34 "middle age" ? Ok - you may dismiss that as a "nit pick", as you probably tried to say that you...

I used to read about it. If there was a local incident, I got to read about it. I read about it if folks used guns to commit crime... or if folks used guns in self-defense or to defend others against crime. I also read stories about alert citizens using their guns to protect others from...

Good point - never thought about that :crash: Move it or delete it - I'm ok with either option :) cheers LL :hatsoff:

Re: Hot Indian Babes I've always been very partial to the delectable and lovely Ms. Aishwarya Bacchan (nee Rai): http://www.miw.com.sg/publish/sg/en/she/miw_top_10/Hottest_Asian_Stars/aishwarya_rai.ReImage.445.338.gif http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1427/1248961097_9bdb892b82.jpg...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qFffq8_gis For those of you who've ever raised ********! :1orglaugh cheers,

I bet you are just thrilled about it all, aren't you, Fox? You don't know nor understand the FIRST thing about 'oil prices', "reading" with the 'folks'.... .... especially if you were a "man" on a hardboat....

And I thought noone could beat my confused/demented 88 year old female patient from two nights ago (with a hip fracture) who kept insisting that the key ingredients to Leonardo da Vinci's paintings and illustrations... ("life like" was the term she used..."said with a wide open face/eyes...

To me the real tragic cost of the War is not the billions for oil or the prices of veterans benefits. It's the ******* and maiming - of Americans and Iraqis. Of destroyed lives. Shattered bodies. Incomplete dreams. Widows and orphans. Thousands upon thousands of families and loved ones uprooted...

Dear **********, All those "articles" on that website I linked are links to real world events, reported by real world news agencies. Nobody is telling tall tales here. You can exercise your index finger some more and using your mouse click the actual links and read the actual stories. I also...

AFA - that's nothing. Honestly. That is NOTHING. How much, do you think; is the REAL debt of the Federal Government of the United States? If your answer was ANYTHING less than 50 TRILLION DOLLARS - you're dead wrong! yours in liberty, R. PS: Both Hamilton and Wilson were assholes. They...

I tried to edit my older post but system wouldn't let me... so here goes: You can even show proof in the form of "hundreds of incidents where guns are used in self defence" * and it still won't change anything.... Somehow, someone will come up with the argument that "for the sake of others, you...

You can even show proof in the form of "hundreds of incidents where guns are used in self defence" * and it still won't change anything.... cheers, R. *: And yes, I've had folks laugh at that link and merely dismiss it as "right wing propaganda".... never mind the fact that all them articles...

* Fresh, ripe, juicy Alphonso mangoes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphonso_%28mango%29 * My wife's "Ground+mashed pulses and buttermilk stew" - I admit this is not "seasonal" but my wife doesn't make it very often, but when she does... boy oh boy! Heaven indeed! * My wife's home-made butter...

I used to be a "Roughneck" in the past - both as an infantryman in the US Army (my recon unit earned that title from the battalion commander after a particularly violent fire-fight) and working an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. Both jobs require endless hours of constant, back breaking, hard...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvsADU2OOWM cheers,

Reading three books in parallel right now: 1. Latest Reason magazine (well, not exactly a book I suppose). 2. Dying to Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism by Robert Pape 3. Life, Death and Everything in Between: A paramedic's memoirs by Stephen Kelly Grayson Next up on the list: 1. A...

Ahh! A kindered soul :) cheers,

All the more poignant, this veterans day... Link 1 in 4 homeless people are veterans... It feels like the 70s all over again... regretfully, R.

You're assuming that those folks driving them tanks will indeed shoot upon their neighbors and friends. Tanks and guns don't operate themselves. Iron clad guarantees to weather National Guard troops will band with the standing army and massacre their own brethren they've sworn to protect? The...

Thank you all for your kind words. We held a small memorial service in town. Even salty old Marine Lt. Timothy Sawbuck was there - he'd fought with my ****** in WWII in the Pacific. Webster was a Marine in Korea. I represented Vietnam. Paulsson represented Grenada. Daniels saw combat in Iraq -...

http://books.guardian.co.uk/news/articles/0,,2208911,00.html Naked and the Dead and his run for Mayor of New York. What a character! I never did agree much with his politics - but I loved his frank and "open" personality. cheers,
