  1. Who's Taboo and why do you wanna talk about him? Isn't that the little dude from Fantasy Island? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  2. If you finger her, it's also pet-ty larceny. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  3. Cuz guys in bars never lie... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  4. Hassle free?? We're still women with wants, needs and feelings. Is that all it takes to be classfied as high maintenance these days? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  5. And that'll happen just as soon as YOU can rent yourself one of Kanye's Auto-Tuners. I'll sit this one out or blend with the crowd. There's already a version with me as "lead" anyways. You gonna be at Skyfest? You and the other guitar players could have a massive jam session.

  6. When you not only feel you can tell them anything and everything you want to too.
  7. Or Neilists... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  8. "MOST LIKELY" You are just confirming your "Guilty until proven innocent" and "Sentence first, trial later" attitude to justice. Think of it more of a conditioned, experienced based response. What could be considered a normal innocent movement or gesture in the "real world" most likely is not in prison. The less chances the guards take, the safer overall it is for both them and the inmates. If an inmate does succeed in injuring a guard, they and others always get it back worse. Not so much excessive force, but measured response and those measurements aren't very precise.

  9. One of these days at a boogie, we should record a "studio" version. I like the extra guitar part. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  10. Very cool but $6000 base price. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  11. Ass has now been legally defined. So, at the next boogie, when a chick walks by in a nice tight RW suit, you now say: Hey baby, nice area at the rear of the body which lies between two imaginary lines running parallel to the ground when a person is standing, the first or top such line drawn at the top of the nates (i.e. the prominence of the muscles running from the back of the hip to the back of the leg) and the second or bottom line drawn at the at the lowest visible of this cleavage or the lowest point of the curvature of the fleshy protuberance, whichever is lower, and between two imaginary lines on each side of the body, which lines are perpendicular to the ground and to the horizontal lines described above.

  12. Boot. In a week that'll be Petty Officer Boot to you. I should ask what you're doing checking out pics of other guys in uniform. I mean I know about the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy and all, but is there something you'd like to share with the crowd? What? That he'a a pretty pretty princess? No. He wishes to keep that a secret at this time. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  13. This answer would also have been acceptable.
  14. I'm the opposite - I think that the term "marriage" should be completely eliminated from the government. Leave that term to religions and private issues and everybody can then butt out of it. Let straight, gay and "etc" only contract to civil unions. Government should only recognize these civil unions (with a very shortened list of benefits). leave the rest to private contracts leave the 'marriage' bit out of government completely don't tax the individuals jointly, don't, don't, don't. Citizens are individuals, not couples, why mix it? apply benefits for children, only to people with children. (do it directly, not inferred) etc etc etc with that foundation - treat everybody the same, and use the same semantics also Agree. Either give everyone the same treatment or remove the perks one group gets versus the other. It's best to get government and religion fully separated now as these people are coming. And before you say that's just sick an unnatural (like I did) remember back to your first reaction when you first heard of homosexulaity. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=7283494&page=1 Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  15. Ya gotta wait for the beer light now? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  16. That musta been hard for you. Do you think he knew you were taking a dive? Sexiest part? Damn you are so far out of my league.... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  17. Wrong place at the wrong time? Just sittin' on the porch minding their business? Totally innocent delicate little flowers that would never heart anyone, not even an american capitalist pig? Educate yourself http://www.foreignpolicy.com/story/cms.php?story_id=4535 Or maybe combined with the some that were wrongfully accused by other countries their methods were just that much more effective than standard corrections techniques which we know don't work. Added: Most likely those that were abused were not part of the wrongfully accused. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  18. Hopefully you're not looking for relationships in a bar. That's like going to Hooters for the food. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  19. Could be multiple reasons: * She's met some of us and trusts us and doesn't care what the others may think. * She'd seen some of the help others have gotten with "impossible" problems. * She's tired of pretending the problem doesn't exist and just not talking about it. * She's hoping that possibly sharing her sister's story will maybe prevent someone else or their family from having to deal with what she is going through. Obviously we aren't getting the whole story, but if what she said was true, her sister has MUCH bigger problems than her sister talking about her on a members only forum.

  20. I did leave it wide open which in retrospect was better for the discussion as we are talking about the extreme cases, not normal behaviors. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  21. Very true. In that scenario, to them it is. It's all a matter of perspective and understanding theirs is very important. They're still taking the chance we retaliate against them though. In what? The greater good? Understanding that the right thing is hardly ever the easy thing, the one that people will like you for, or the one that appears to have immediate impact? Also if later the information you based your decisions on is found to be incorrect that you will be persecuted for it? I definitely believe that. I also believe in firing first, collateral damage, acceptable losses, and believe that trying to be PC and follow all the "rules" when the enemy does not is no way to win a conflict. Who's saying anything about excuses? Metrics are just that, metrics. Once we have the numbers then it can better be decided the scope of the issue and how much needs to be done. Personally, if this was restricted to this one facility and it is being shut down anyway, I think there are way more pressing needs in this country that need attention and resources than this. We should. However if we ever hope to get anywhere close, we need to focus our resources and prioritize on the root cause of these and other issues, not just the individual items. Think of it as firefighting. It'd be nice to save the antique couch, but if we focus the water on that we'll lose grandma's dinette, and Uncle Tim's beer stein collection. Maybe we could split the water between all 3 to keep the flames off those items cuz someone else will get the main fire, right? Meanwhile the house continues to burn because all the resources are so individually focused whereas if they all focused on the main fire itself... True, but I'm sure there were also scapegoats that thought they were just following orders as well. I've also worked in a prison. The joke I used to hear alot was the difference between most corrections officers and an inmate is the inmate got caught.

  22. nah, it is an insult to chimpanzees. I find this extremely racist!!! See how silly that is? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  23. Agreed! Perhaps that goes in both directions? Definitely. Ouch. Negligence is not necessarily better than malice. I might be pissed if I had no pony in the race, and someone came over and killed my family "for the greater good". Not supporting or being apathetic doesn't mean they weren't effected. That's the thing with "the greater good", while horrible for that family, there are countless others saved. Most personally effected will understandably never see it that way. That's what it's not called the good, the right, or the fair solution. It's just generally the best of the bad. That's unfortunately a very slippery slope to stand on. .jim So understanding why people may do something or act a certain way in a certain situation is bad? To me that's the best way to change processes and procedures to prevent reoccurrences is to recognize what led to them versus just punishing them. Sorta like in skydiving "I'll never pull low enough to have my AAD fire" leaves you in a worse scenario than recognizing factors than can contribute to it happening and having a plan in place to deal with it if it does.
