    ~and then ya take a long hard look in the mirror, contemplate wasted youth, list failures and unfulfilled dreams. Maybe look up at the sun and realize we're nuthin ' more than insignificant bugs on a rock...

    Then twist another fatty, pencil the reserve and head to the DZ 'cause fuck it...what's the worse that could happen?



    More than anything I have ever seen/read, I think this sums it up. Seriously, goat f*ck it any way you want to but this, to me, is the bottom line.!

    So did mine. You'd probably call him a "parasite that fled after the Potato Famine." I am glad he was able to. Because of him there are now engineers, teachers, stockbrokers, construction workers, programmers and nurses working here in the US. Horrible, I know.



    They went through the process to become legal U.S. citizens and worked for it. They didn't get it handed to them so some politician could (hope) to get votes.

    It depends on how you define "worked for it."

    When my great grandfather come "working for it" meant not being Chinese, getting here, affirming that you were not a criminal, and a doctor failing to find medical problems.

    The family story is that once here his contribution was limited to triggers because he didn't want to move the family to play a more significant role in the Manhattan Project, although in his letters Openheimer wasn't keen on his branch of physics.




    C'mon folks. The immigration issue/factors of the 1800's are not what we are facing today. Trying to draw parallels is simply insincere with respect to the modern problem.

    Homeless people don't pay such taxes; although that holds regardless of their immigration status.



    Right!! but if they were legitimately working they would be required to.

    And homeless=not paying property taxes. Great!! Chances are the homeless don't have kids in school.

    Medical...there are systems out there to provide medical for citizens who can not afford it.

    If everyone had to write out a check for taxes to the IRS, state, and local municipality every three months, I think the country would have a different perception of what is going on. It is so easy to not miss money when you don't "see" it.

    In Texas illegal immigrants pay $1.6 billion more into the system in taxes than they take in benefits. Also true in California ($2.7 billion) Florida ($800 million) and New York ($700 million.)

    So if you kick them all out, are you willing to make up that deficit? Or do you figure it will just magically appear somewhere?

    Well, you could always just start blowing away people you think are illegal immigrants. One at a time, y'know.

    Is that really the worst problem we have, the one worth talking about overthrowing the government?

    Wendy P.



    No Wendy, no one is going to violently "overthrow" the gov't. The sensationalism you apply is "junior high" at best and a long known political tactic.

    However, the sad commentary is that you live in a perceived indestructible bubble of ignorance.

    The United States is not indestructible.

    Do you REALLY understand the impact of a single person who doesn't pay their taxes?? No, you don't.

    12 million plus ILLEGAL immigrants not paying property taxes (which support local schools, driving your property taxes up.) Hey, if you want to start a charity for illegal immigrants to go to school, cool!! But, don't use my money to do it.
    Not paying into the federal or local tax base (driving up your cost across the board).
    Sending a good portion of their earnings to Mexico to support their families there (not spurring local economies).
    Free medical. Nothing is free, nothing.

    What about the immigrants that have spent years and thousands of dollars to legitimately go through the naturalization process? You don't think they are a little peeved?

    Nobody is crapping on LEGAL immigrants; the more the merrier in my book. However, everyone should be concerned about ILLEGAL immigrants.

    I could go on.

    Listen, if you want to donate your paycheck to illegal immigrants, go right ahead. BUT WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO DONATE MINE!!!!

    No wonder you took this "Will the True and Sincere Patriotic Americans wait until it's too late to take back our country or is it time now?" as this "Well, you could always just start blowing away people you think are illegal immigrants. One at a time, y'know."

    Good job Wendy!! You have mastered the art of context misrepresentation, deception, and mud slinging. When are you running for office?

  8. Not that it compares to some of the great stuff posted in here but I just had no idea....

    I have been listening to Prince's main stuff for 20+ years (Purple Rain, Raspberry Beret, Doves, etc....)

    This just blew my mind, never heard anything of the likes from him before. I have a new-found respect for the "artist".

    This was one of many when searching for Prince's blues stuff.

  9. This looks like the production company plug. Those two guys at the end are likely production company ceo's trying to "pitch" their idea to any network to see if they will bite and buy some episodes/season.

    A lot of hits on Youtube would probably help move the sales pitch along a little to a network.

  11. tsk tsk tsk. A gun is but a tool. If a guy with a baseball bat, or a knife had come upon this sooner he (or she) could have stopped this sooner.

    Free baseball bats and knives for the homeless too.



    And the family of the face-muncher would have sued the citizen for wrongful death, and won.

    After we get rid of all guns, knives, and bats....we need to register all rocks that are big enough to throw and damage another person.

  12. The world is filled with great vocalist.

    I sense it is more of an issue of connecting with the current generation for which you are exposed.

    Would the Janis of yesteryear be the Janis of today. No, I don't think so.

    But, is there a "Janis" of 2012? Yeah, probably out there somewhere.

    It is simply a comparison that can't be made.

  13. Take a good look at the Glock 27 with the plus-1 finger extension. Lots of horse power with great concealability. When you burn through the ten-round mag you can use Glock 22 mags in it.

    Brother, you should know by now that the life of a hero, in this day and age, never gets the recognition he/she deserves.

    I do. I'm tired of this go fast without consideration or training making the environment I play in more dangerous. I'm now more fearful of the parachute decent than the freefall or deployment.

    I put my money where my mouth is this year. Went up in size, 88 to a 120, and selected a type that lets me float more so to place my self in the safest airspace for landing.



    Brother I will sit under a 220 all daaaayyy long and watch the world go by. You sir, are in it for the long haul. See you on the beach ;)

    I meant Jan. 13th.

    i.e Jan 13th would only happen on a Friday once every 7 years. (minus whatever leap year calculus bullcrap you want to leave out of it. ;))

    Uh, twelve months/year, all with a "13th". Only 7 days in a week. Friday the 13th happens at least once or twice a year. :P

    Our son was born on Friday the 13th. He turned out great. B|

  23. Friday the 13th only happens on a specific day once every 7 years. Therefore, it is either lucky, or mitigates the evil with an equal amount of goody goodness.

    you decide.....

  24. So I am sitting there playing some useless game on Facebook to pass some time. My 3-year old is sitting close watching Danny Phantom. I softly tap him on the chest with the back of my hand to get his attention.....the first time doesn't work. I do it again a little harder. He turns his head and looks into my eyes and says with his soft 3-year old voice "what?".

    I simply say "I love you". He says in a soft and grateful 3-year old voice "thanks Daddy".

    Guess you had to be there.............
