CarrieByTheSea 0 #78 April 6, 2011 The 80s. I was born and things were awesome. I wore a side-pony-tail to school and rocked the roller-rink. I first learned about oceanography in "gifted" class and thus began my campaign to save the whales, the sea turtles and the starfish. The best movies came out in the 80s, and musicians could actually sing and were not 12.

CarrieByTheSea 0 #81 April 6, 2011 While I have not seen many since, we used to find beached starfish after a storm as a little girl and dry them out to save/keep. Now I throw them back."Nature is cruel, but we don't have to be." ~ Temple Grandin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SivaGanesha 2 #85 April 6, 2011 Quote Today, if a person stays in the same position for more than just a few years, it's not just an anomaly, but people start to question how "motivated" the person is (because obviously he hasn't gone anywhere) and start thinking about laying them off. And if that same person doesn't stay in the same position today for more than just a few years, they are viewed as an unstable credit risk totally unfit to qualify for a mortgage.

billvon 2,396 #86 April 6, 2011 >It is OK, according to you, to make fun of some people but not others. Yep. Depends on the situation and the people. It's OK, for example, to tell big ear jokes about Bush (or Obama.) It's not OK to call people niggers. It's OK to tell banker jokes to your friend who is a banker. It's not OK to tell rape jokes to your friend who has just been raped. I think you really get that (or would if you weren't posting on Speaker's Corner.)
