[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-26-05 AT 02:01PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Then why aren't we fighting Sudi Arabia? Ooops! Meant "Saudi," but you get the idea. It just seems to me that the terrorists responsible for 9/11 have a much…

Your first sentence partially explains why Colin Powell (remember him?) argued so strenuously against the war in Iraq. But Powell's main reason was that he didn't think that we would be able to sustain the force level there necessary to accomplish …

Amen

It's possible to draw comparisons, of course, but the big thing is that the death toll can't be compared. It was routine to lose anywhere from 200 to 400 guys A WEEK during the height of Vietnam, and we had a standing army of 400,000 in-country. O…

No, my fault. I was using a bit of sarcasm that related to a different post about profiles being disabled. Sorry. I took no offense at all.

Your profile is disabled, so for all I know you may have malicious intent, but I gotta agree wit ya about the beer thing. Well, Gillian's goal was to liven things up a little so I hope he's happy.

"Those who would trade freedom for security deserve neither freedom, nor security" I think that was Benjamin Franklin, or Slappy White....I can't be sure.

And doncha love how Stephen Breyer and all the other Supreme Court Justices suddenly cease to be "activist judges" when they hand down a ruling that conservatives agree with? Although I should qualify that cuz lots of conservatives howled when Kent…

As they say Rita, even paranoids have real enemies. For me, I really don't care. Way back when I worked for five years in a maximum security treatment unit for violent criminals. I lost count of how many times my life was threatened, by guys who …

This very morning a guy at the gas station I always go to told me that by the end of today gas in New Jersey will be up to $3.00...he claims they were told yesterday to prepare for the spike...we'll see.

A friend of mine is moving to CA in the not-to-distant future and fully intends to buy an SUV. That seems amazing to me, but it speaks to smoll's post above.

Other than accelerating my wife's car payment in order to buy something for myself that's better on gas (I drive about 34 miles one-way and spend about $45 a week on gas) I haven't changed a thing. However, I have noticed a LOT more people carpooli…

I'm in Jersey, so we only pay 30 cents a gallon, just like it was 1973. 'Course the water's a funny color and all, what with the refinery being up the road, but hey, who cares. Actually, I’ve stopped looking at the prices cuz then my bar tab goes …

Hear, hear!!! And how many times do you see folks on this Forum become highly defensive because they get some pointed, critical feedback?

The problem in education isn't that teachers are overpaid....quite the opposite. The problem is that all the ancillary staff like custodians, and cafeteria workers ARE grossly overpaid. Get rid of those folks, contract out for their services and s…

>>And Chastity. > >> >> Right, and there was a time when female teachers were fired if they got married.
-
Hey, I agree completely in principle. It's a crime for teachers to seduce students, and those perpetrators should be severely punished. Yet a part of me is still skeptical that the average....I say average...17 year-old boy will look back on such …

Yes Don, you are absolutely correct. How much time did Laterno do? It seemed pretty short to me. I'd wager that a man would have done a LOT more time, and probably would NOT have had the opportunity, as Laterno did, to sire another child. But so…

Homeo, Homeo, wherefore art thou Homeo?

Perhaps it was the mushrooms you had in your stew that night.

She's really more of a Porsche person.

Scoff if you will, but I've discovered a genuine office phenomenon. There's a Sargasso Sea of interdepartmental envelopes out there, and I'm gonna find if it's the last thing I do....today.

On the contrary, I thank my lucky stars a few times a month that they actually pay me to do this stuff. I think you hit the nail on the head when you hinted that your attitude might be symptomatic of the stress you feel over the BF. It's one of th…

If the politicians stayed out of it the Nationals would NEVER get a new ballpark, and would end up moving on to a different city. It has to be a partnership between local government and the ownership of the team. Do you really want to go to RFK fo…

Yeah, he's known as "The Velvet Mit."

You "don't care"???? What kind of crazy talk is that? The nice thing about baseball is at least we have ONE thing in our popular culture older than Mickey Mouse.

His name is Jim Thome (pronounced toe-me) and he's still the best dang first baseman in the National League. If by "winning" you mean "winning it all" then yes, winning isn't generally part of the Philadelphia sports fan experience. However, the …

You forgot THE most important thing: it's also 24 days and approximately 10 minutes until OPENING DAY!!!!!

Just yesterday the Coast Guard stopped a ship from Turkey from docking in Philadelphia, turned it around and escorted it back up Delaware Bay where it anchored and is currently, quietly being inspected.

I don't think that Americans are unwilling to soil their hands....they're unwilling to soil their hands for $6 an hour (to use Pork's emample). Jump it up to $15 an hour and just watch how many Americans line up to soil their hands.
