  1. That fine. You read what was said one way - I read what was said another way. We're not going to agree on what was said. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  2. One source i found said this: Note: Before you go and get a Memory Stick Pro make sure that your device can handle it. Chances are that it's not supported if the camera or PDA is older than 2 years. Another said: Proper operation with all devices is not guaranteed. Memory Stick Pro compatibility is dependent upon individual host hardware specifications "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  3. You need to re-read my message and your reponse to me in an objective manner then perhaps you will see how things have gotten twisted. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  4. Wheres Canada? Wait a moment here ... it was you you said the US had one on the finest health care system in the world but didn't have a source to back it up... I've just been supplying references help you adjust your thinking.
  5. Trent is correct in saying that there are many people out there who just hate Bush so much that they won't acknowledge anything like this. I've seen it, we've all seen it. I don't think Trent or I came off as directly saying you are one of those. Thus, his argument can be take seriously because it is fact that those people are out there. NO ONE said you were one of them. Everyone should try to be objective, just that many don't. And from my post that Trent took issue with: I seem to recall that there were those who said that there weren't WMD so perhaps this isn't the whole story. I suggest that it was Trent that was not being objective. There were other opinions about WMD in Iraq other than those saying they existed. He can choose to ignore those opinions, but he should not deny that they existed. To suggest that there was only one side to the story is not objective.

  6. OK ,how about the ones that do? And you knew what I meant. Yea ... I did... just couldn't resist
  7. How about if they have cancer? The babies don't live long enough to get cancer.... "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  8. Who said I hated Bush? Who said that Bush was the only one that viewed Iraq as a threat? How can I take your arguments seriously when you don't use facts to back up your argument? "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  9. >Proof of that is the US healthcare system is one of the finest in the world. The USA is down the list when it comes to infant mortality. During the first year of life babies are more likely to survive if they are born in 35 other countries rather than in the USA. http://www.geographyiq.com/ranking/ranking_Infant_Mortality_Rate_aall.htm "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  10. What a crock of shit. You mean to tell me that an infant who died soon after birth commited sins? I'm not addressing who gets into heaven. I'm simply addressing who has commited a sin. Once again I call bullshit. Then again I think the whole Christian religion is bullshit. Ah shit why stop there. I think all man made religions are bullshit. They only exist as a way to attempt to control people. Now what does religion, healthcare and all the other crap being mentioned in this thread have to do with the US passing a law against burning the US flag? I like this guy!!! Walt I'm not so sure that I like him He's trying to bring focus to this argument so that it can be dicussed rationally, where is the fun in that? "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  11. Yep that sure is an unbiased account of what happened Thank goodness the internet always has the facts we can trust
  12.

  13. It was kinda fun to watch... When I saw it posted for the 3rd time after the greenies had already taken it twice I was tempted to respond to it with a simple "Bye-Bye" message because you were so obviously gone... done... toast... BUT I did enjoy the jokes! Sent them off to my sisters -cat people I think even most cat lovers would like them, can't say for sure because I really don't understand cat lovers "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  14. This same event is being dicussed and the same questions asked and answered in 2 forums. See http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1702527#1702527 It would be easier if one of these threads came to an end....

  15. For those that think our personal information is safe.... =========================================== Call centre worker in India sells customer data to undercover reporter http://www.mytelus.com/news/article.do?pageID=world_home&articleID=1962128 LONDON (AP) - A call centre worker in India sold personal data on 1,000 British customers to an undercover newspaper reporter, the paper reported Thursday. The Sun said it paid the equivalent of $6.75 Cdn each for details on the Britons' bank accounts, credit cards, passports and drivers' licences, including numbers and pass codes. Addresses and phone numbers were also included, the tabloid said. The New Delhi-based seller said he had bought the information from contacts who work in the call centres, which have become a booming sector of India's economy. The man reportedly also provided three-digit security numbers from the backs of credit cards and customers' answers to security questions meant to safeguard their accounts. The Sun said it had given the information to the City of London Police, which said all the financial institutions involved had been informed. "An investigation is now underway," a police spokeswoman said. "Therefore it would be inappropriate for us to provide further details at this stage. "At this stage we are not fully aware of the breadth of what we are going to be investigating. We have been handed information and it is being reviewed." She would not say which institutions were involved. © The Canadian Press, 2005 "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  16. Do you have references to back up this statement? "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  17. (Originally posted in the cat peeing on rig thread but it somehow disappeared...) Interesting fact about cats landing on their feet (must be true I read it on the internet): -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you drop a buttered piece of bread, it will fall on the floor butter-side down. If a cat is dropped from a window or other high and towering place, it will land on its feet. But what if you attach a buttered piece of bread, butter-side up to a cat's back and toss them both out the window? Will the cat land on its feet? Or will the butter splat on the ground? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And in response, thus spoke the Oracle: Even if you are too lazy to do the experiment yourself you should be able to deduce the obvious result. The laws of butterology demand that the butter must hit the ground, and the equally strict laws of feline aerodynamics demand that the cat can not smash its furry back. If the combined construct were to land, nature would have no way to resolve this paradox. Therefore it simply does not fall. That's right, you clever mortal (well, as clever as a mortal can get), you have discovered the secret of antigravity! A buttered cat will, when released, quickly move to a height where the forces of cat-twisting and butter repulsion are in equilibrium. This equilibrium point can be modified by scraping off some of the butter, providing lift, or removing some of the cat's limbs, allowing descent. Most of the civilized species of the Universe already use this principle to drive their ships while within a planetary system. The loud humming heard by most sighters of UFOs is, in fact, the purring of several hundred tabbies. The one obvious danger is, of course, if the cats manage to eat the bread off their backs they will instantly plummet. Of course the cats will land on their feet, but this usually doesn't do them much good, since right after they make their graceful landing several tons of red-hot starship and pissed-off aliens crash on top of them.

  18. It amazes me that the young folks of today don't know that the REAL cure for a hangover is to go eat Chinese food after you've gone drinking but before you go home to bed

  21. This is interesting.... ------------------------------------------- http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/americas/06/20/canada.cannabis.ap/ Cannabis-based painkiller available in Canada Multiple sclerosis patients eligible for prescription Tuesday, June 21, 2005; Posted: 4:05 a.m. EDT (08:05 GMT) TORONTO, Ontario (AP) -- A cannabis-based painkiller for multiple sclerosis patients went on sale Monday in Canada, the first country to approve the spray derived from the marijuana plant. Sativex can now be obtained by prescription through Canadian pharmacies, Bayer HealthCare announced Monday. Bayer markets the drug in Canada for British drug company GW Pharmaceuticals, which developed the drug. Health Canada, the federal agency that oversees medical care for Canadians, announced in April it had approved Sativex, made from components derived from the cannabis plant that have been shown to ease pain. Medical professionals welcomed the availability. "Effective pain control and management are extremely important in a disease like MS," said Dr. Allan Gordon, a neurologist and director of the Wasser Pain Management Center at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto. "The availability of Sativex addresses the great demand for an effective treatment option in the field of neuropathic pain in MS." Many people with multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, treat their pain by smoking marijuana. But the dose is hard to regulate and the drug is difficult to obtain legally. About 2.5 million are believed to have MS worldwide, of which about 50,000 are Canadian, according to the U.S. National Multiple Sclerosis Society. About half of MS patients say they suffer from chronic pain, the society said. Sativex is administered through a spray pump under the tongue or on the inside of the cheek. In 2001, Canada became the first country to adopt a system regulating the medicinal use of marijuana for people suffering from terminal illnesses and chronic conditions. In the United States, the federal government has classified marijuana as a drug that is as dangerous as heroin, although 10 states have passed laws that allow its use under medical supervision.
