  1. I can understand teaching the kids to eat healthy, but what is next? Should school be resonsible for teaching the kids _everything_ they need to know in life? Is this really the solution? I just see school taking the place of parents more and more and it's a little disturbing.

    XM radio

    I think the increase in sattelite radio activity in the market is due to the speculation that Howard Stern is moving to sattelite. He hasn't made any specific announcements but he does mention moving quite often. I think it would be great for sattlite readio if he moved over.
  3. It is one thing to want to protect your property. It's another thing to sue your fans. They are assholes and they will never lose that stigma they gained by doing that. I love their old music but I think they've become the flagship for everything that is wrong with music today. Music shoved down your throat while competition and fair use are stomped out. If they had their way you would pay a $1 every time you wanted to listen to a song. The music industry has changed forever and they were left behind. Good riddance. They didn't understand the new technology, feared it, so they tried to squash it and failed. Napster was taken down only to be replaced by other networks. They helped create a whole genre of music, but their music now sounds tired and just plain fake.
  4. 1. The lack of at least 18 inches of personal space in public places. Must I be rubbing elbows with everyone I have to sit next to? Pretty soon they'll just make you sit on each other's lap. Of course I can take it, I'm a grown man but come on, must we pack ourselves into small spaces at all times? Talk about longing for the wilderness.
  5. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all I see is spoiled ass brat.
  6. It's good to know that hate is being kept alive around the world. I was worried that there might be a shortage of assholes and the market would fall.
  7. Are you using the same internet I am?
  8. NO! I am too caught up in my own rhetoric and my soap box is calling me! Too be fair I was targeting the email, not you. I understand that you forwarded it.
  9. You mean like Pope Urban II declared in 1095? Declaring a holy war on "Infidels" launching the first Christian crusade lasting close to 200 years declaring war on non christians? Dr. E.L. Skip Knox's summation of Pope Urban's speech at Council of Clermont in France, on November 27, 1095: "The noble race of Franks must come to the aid their fellow Christians in the East. The infidel Turks are advancing into the heart of Eastern Christendom; Christians are being oppressed and attacked; churches and holy places are being defiled. Jerusalem is groaning under the Saracen yoke. The Holy Sepulchre is in Moslem hands and has been turned into a mosque. Pilgrims are harassed and even prevented from access to the Holy Land. "The West must march to the defense of the East. All should go, rich and poor alike. The Franks must stop their internal wars and squabbles. Let them go instead against the infidel and fight a righteous war. "God himself will lead them, for they will be doing His work. There will be absolution and remission of sins for all who die in the service of Christ. Here they are poor and miserable sinners; there they will be rich and happy. Let none hesitate; they must march next summer. God wills it!" http://crusades.boisestate.edu/contents.html Let's not confuse the Pope with Jesus or God. Or anyone for that matter. Usually internet spam doesn't deserve a response. But fuck it, it's Tuesday.
  10. No, I use a separate tin-foil suit for that. Besides, helicopters are just a distraction from what's really going on... Never mind, I've said too much...
  11. Yeah, I guess we make smaller craters??? The whole extreme sport thing is a marketing gimmick anyway, created to sell hype and hence move product.
  12. On no account will a Commie ever drink water, and not without good reason...Water is the source of all life. Seven tenths of this earth's surface is water. Why, you realize that seventy percent of you is water...And as human beings, you and I need fresh, pure water to replenish our precious bodily fluids... Mandrake, have you never wondered why I drink only distilled water, or rain water, and only pure grain alcohol?...Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation? Fluoridation of water?... fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face." - Dr. Strangelove

    What is 05?

    BUFU By Us, Fuck You
  14. Just make sure that you put it in a good place on your body. So that when you turn 50 you won't be swooping a round.
  15. Yeah the screwed up thing about the bible was the fact that it's been translated so many times and is comprised of so many works. Might as well be a compilation of ancient Mayan works translated to old english via morse code. Then throw in the fact that some people take every word literally and you got a conflict waiting to happen. But still the general meaning is there. 'Thou shall not kill' is kinda hard to not understand, regardless of translation.
  16. Fair enough. I just think this practice breeds nothing but conflict within a family, which IMO should have a stronger bond than any bond to a man-made organization. Choosing to love god, follow his path, and putting no one before him doesn't mean put no one before the church. They seem to put themselves and their practices in the place of God, speaking for God and his wishes and I disagree with that. I still talk to both her and her mother and both are good people, just with different beliefs about what is right. Hopefully one day they can call a "truce".
  17. That award is serious and quick! Definitely Fast and Danger.
  18. I'll tell you exactly why I dislike the Jehova's Witness group - excommunication (or disfellowship). When you commit what is deemed a sin and disobey god's law (determined by a judgement of church elders) then you are disfellowshipped and removed from the church. Other JW's will then treat such a person as if they do not exist (this is demanded of them unless they also with to be excommunicated) regardless of how you were related before. My child's mother comitted a sin by having a kid out of marriage and was removed. Her own mother does not speak to her now. Now who in their right mind would not talk to their own child because they have been removed from the group? I'd like to see anyone try to tell me to not talk to my child because they had comitted such a sin. I'd walk right out. It's not as if she commited murder but yet she was treated with contempt. Not exactly what Jesus would do. I'm not against religion, each person has his/her own beliefs and I respect that, but I think this particular practice is especially vile and it has touched someone I love. I respect religions that teach love and understanding for each other, not hate for the world. http://watchtower.observer.org/
  19. A little hard to get through unless you major in Poly Sci but I did read it nonetheless. Required reading for anyone seeking office (IE power and control). It should be called "manipulation 101". I live near DC and learned to distrust politicians at an early age. They are only human. I try to judge them on individual acts, not speech or party affiliation. I sort of pity them. Only a fool would take on such responsibility. But hell someone has to do it. I truly believe that humans will always have a class of "super citizens" ruling the others. It seems natural. Not that I want anything to do with that. I have enough problems just making decisions for myself let alone others.

    The Matrix Sucks

    Why not? They don't have feelings. It's just an opinion.
  21. Aren't BASE rigs and the typical sport rigs different for just this reason? It would be good to note that in the story. I doubt he would use the same rig to jump both unless he wants a severe case of neckbreakitis (using a BASE rig out of a plane) or the opposite (using a sport rig to BASE jump) groundimpacttoofastus.
  22. I'd do the same thing. But I wouldn't be surprised when I got prison time. Even a manslaughter charge means years in prison. But I doubt any of the cosequences would go through my mind when I saw him. I would make no apologies to the court.
  23. Are you talking about the song where he talks about the "baby momma" and the "baby daddy"? It's called "hit that" but I couldn't find a new album name or release date for it..
