Is it just now the 24th there? I thought you'll were a day ahead Thanks.

I tasted the grapes as everyone claimed I just had to eat them, they were just not to my tastes. Sure they taste great to some, but others may convince themselves they taste great and some others may just eat them because they're told to.

Is all that available every night? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

We are not; and if you'd only stop making yourself dizzy with all that mouth-breathing, you'd see it. (mouth breath) Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

"Common sense says the 45 degree angle should work. It doesn't. Time-based separation is a lot more complicated but works. " Actually, wasn't the whole issue with that that it was originally 45 degrees from the point on the ground the jumpers exited but got changed to the jumpers themselves? "Common sense says that you turn the handlebars on a bicycle to the right if you want to go right (at least to someone who hasn't paid a lot of attention to what they do when they ride a bike.) Nope - you turn the handlebars LEFT to start a turn to the right. The physics are complicated, but the simplistic answer doesn't work. " The reason may be complicated but the results sure aren't.

+1. Just like health care insurance. Push yourself into the system enough and you can manufacture your own demand. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

This thread just shows how smug most college graduates are and how they automatically look down and discount anything someone without a degree says versus just taken them at face value. I'm sure some of you will now do this to me too. Facts are facts, it doesn't matter if they're being said by a windows licker or a genius. One of the big reasons why I eventually left for good was this very attitude I saw from professors and other students. They all were trying so hard to prove to others they were smart that they intentionally made things more complicated and harder than they needed to be in the form of "weed out" classes and other BS. My final straw was when I took accounting fundamentals and discovered that even the fundamentals were flawed as they didn't even factor in additional effects. When I brought this up the prof basically ignored me and just went on. Yes, most college grads are smart and some do some amazing stuff, but there's also a large percentage of them that feel they have to prove to everyone how smart they are by making things more complicated and then coming up with what appears to be the solution. Or they take a complicated or old thing and rather than simplify or redesign just add on to it, There's an old saying, "just because it can be done, doesn't mean it should" and "the simplest solution is usually the best." That whole concept seems to not not be enforced as they are learning complex things. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

18K? Nice.

Are you sure that would be a good idea around mom? Where was it said that somebody's mom looked at Bolas dancing or something and made one of the funniest comments in a long time? Spence or Rastaricanair? Refresh my memory? It may have been at a Skyfest boogie either 08 or 09... Is he drunk or autistic?

Really?? Have you ever been through an engineering program? I doubt it because if you had you would know how absolutely stupid that remark is. I went to a big school, known for its engineering and had a roommate and other friends in the program. They took very few classes outside of the engineering school buildings and curriculum. I don't think they even had any electives until 2nd semster sophmore year. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Start everyone off at neutral and just give them a chance to show their character. You don't have to trust them, but don't mistrust them either AKA "don't call them an asshole, make them prove it."

If mutant genes are the criteria, I should have 5 or 6 threads. Happy Birthday my fellow halfway to Christmas twin. Have a great one.

Wasn't the original intent of the 401k to provide tax advantages to the employer to match the contributions of the employee? At least that's what I remember. Did something change where now it's not to their advantage to contribute? Sorta like pensions were once guaranteed?

That means you can have a proper Tenessee conception: trailer, dirt road, maybe running water. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

It's not so much the "special" rights given to married people, but rather the "common law" rights such as shared property. The government needs to be a bit involved to avoid disputes when their are separations and deaths. I do agree that all individuals should be otherwise treated the same. Not so much. If both or all are paying for something, their names are on it. If it's something one is paying for or owns outright, then their names are on it. It's fairly simple. If one want to lay claim that the services or upkeep they provide entitles them to more than what they are paying for or own that needs to be done on a case by case basis.

you didn't hear me so what? delete the special rights and treat all individuals the same regardless of marital status Interesting idea. Certainly bypasses all the gov't involvement over whom can marry whom (or what). Individuals could still legally bind themselves to one another in a contract, but it wouldn't be state mandated.

For Bolas, that's like saying "Start breathing early." Happy Birthday, Bolas. Tear it up, man.

There's a lot of things that make you sky chicks the best . . . Oh let me count the ways . . . I always start with 2. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

+1 Some are just unenforcable except in very certain scenarios as well. Any law passed should be able to be consistently enforced for all as well as have justification of why it's needed and it's specific purpose so not to be used for other circumstances. This should be applied to all existing laws as well. The "ducks have to wear pants on sundays" type laws need to go.

Make up your mind - a few posts ago you wanted engineers to have "PE" after their name. That wasn't me. [/reply Might as well have been; after a bottle of rum, you and rhaig are completely indistinguishable. If that's not a PA... Rhaig, do you want to press charges?

I don't think anyone is disagreeing with that point. What they are disagreeing with is the assertion that a college degree is close to meaningless. Wendy P. Which I never said or even implied. The closest I came to such was this the quote you used to start this thread:

(irony overload) It's interesting, the only defense seen so far of the college system has been for engineers which at most schools the programs are more like trade schools anyways. I'll admit college can open new doors and expand horizons. It sure did mine. However once it did I discovered it wasn't really for me and chose a different path. Coming from a long line of college grads, that didn't really go over that well at first. We really need to get out of this de facto "everyone has to go to college and get a degree to be a success" mentality because frankly, it's bullshit. It may be the most common path, but it's not the only one nor is it for everyone.

That's awesome!!! Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
