  1. She's pissed. Things will be a little different in that household. He will play by her rules or be gone. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  2. ....and their famlies? Don't you remember days of old? You kill everyone so nobody grows up for revenge. Don't forget the dogs and cats. Kind of hard for us warm and fuzzy ones to believe this still goes on in other parts of the world, but it does. I believe the drug cartel plays by these rules like the mafia.

  4. My friend weighs 245 and wants to do AFF. He lives in Montana, but the weight limit is 205. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  5. I have no idea if that's an auto, but Mossberg makes a fine pump. Both the pump and the auto make no noise if you keep a round in the chamber (lot of safety issues here). Unless you want to spend, a pump or auto without the bells and whistles will do just fine. Somebody even makes a home defender. It's plain, but it works.

  8. Your desire to perpetuate revenge and violence shows that you don't understand the concepts underlying a civilized society or the concept of learning from history ... Among your interests listed in your profile: "destroying the world" is one of them. What method would you use? spelling Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  9. Quote We will not be free until we are known simply as Iran and not the Islamic republic. ....The world has been watching revolutions for a long time. I think ours was won through a series of luck, mistakes, miracles, leadership (good/bad), and a lot of blood. Being isolated was not a handicap.

  10. I do like rehmwa, but would not be able to pull off a "rehmwa". Silly joke that bombed, apparently. I promise to remain alert to keep my head out of the gutter. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  11. I like your style. I hope they are successful without outside help, and we do mind our own business. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  12. $40,000 is a lot of banana skins, and it's just a piece of the pie. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  13. This sort of crass commercialistic statement is more appropriate for the Bonfire, and I'll thank you for keeping your head out of the gutter in the future, Rick. Pardon. "Keeping my head out of the gutter"? Now that you brought it up, it is rather trite. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

  15. More Better? John, would you vote for this guy if you could? Back when the housing mania was taking off, Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank famously said he wanted Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to "roll the dice" in the name of affordable housing. That didn't turn out so well, but Mr. Frank has since only accumulated more power. And now he is returning to the scene of the calamity -- with your money. He and New York Representative Anthony Weiner have sent a letter to the heads of Fannie and Freddie exhorting them to lower lending standards for condo buyers. You read that right. After two years of telling us how lax lending standards drove up the market and led to loans that should never have been made, Mr. Frank wants Fannie and Freddie to take more risk in condo developments with high percentages of unsold units, high delinquency rates or high concentrations of ownership within the development. Associated Press Fannie and Freddie have restricted loans to condo buyers in these situations because they represent a red flag that the developments -- many of which were planned and built at the height of the housing bubble -- may face financial trouble down the road. But never mind all that. Messrs. Frank and Weiner think, in all their wisdom and years of experience underwriting mortgages, that the new rules "may be too onerous." And in a display of the wit for which Mr. Frank is famous, the letter writers slyly point out that higher lending standards won't reduce taxpayer exposure to bad loans because the Federal Housing Administration has even lower standards for condos. "While the underlying goal may be to reduce taxpayer exposure relating to the current conservatorship of the GSEs [government sponsored entities], such a goal would not have such an effect if it merely results in a shifting of loans from the GSEs to the FHA." Tougher lending standards will merely shift market share from one government program to another, so what's the point in being cautious? Fannie and Freddie have already lost tens of billions of dollars betting on the mortgage market -- with that bill being handed to taxpayers. They face still more losses going forward, because in the wake of their nationalization last year their new "mission" has become to do whatever it takes to prop up the housing market. The last thing they need is lawmakers like Mr. Frank, who did so much to lay the groundwork for their collapse, telling them to play faster and looser with their lending standards. Fannie and Freddie have always been political creatures under the best circumstances. But we don't remember anyone electing Mr. Frank underwriter-in-chief of the United States.

  19. If the US government - as a nation and a government - has done something as a matter of national policy, which under the lens of future generations is eventually recognized as abhorrent, or even reprehensible, then it's certainly good form - and not objectionable - even if not necessarily "required" - to issue a formal apology for the record. Examples (some done, some not yet done): -For its role in African slavery. -For its role in genocide against Native Americans. -For repugnant pro-slavery Federal Court decisions, such as the Dred Scott decision by SCOTUS. -For Japanese-American internment during WWII. It's a matter of moral decency. And if that bothers those who love to use veiled references to "welfare queens", and so they (predictably) object to this, too, well, tough shit. It is a matter of moral decency for all the parties you mentioned, but shouldn't the Native Americans come first? Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

  21. The Islamic movement in France is just not about practicing their faith, it's about changing the country they have chosen to relocate too. From demanding the three little pigs be removed from children's textbooks to demanding the implementation of sharia law, France and it's surrounding countries are growing weary of their new residents and their inability to ASSIMILATE. look at what happened to Denmark over a couple of cartoons. Don't forget the swine flu scare. I understand Muslims found the name repulsive and it was changed for awhile. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  22. Do co-workers fill in for smoking breaks for some? How often does the "prayer break interrupting the assembly line" actually happen? Wendy P.

  23. That I will agree to. This is the kind of thing that will further alienate France's Muslim community. If people feel like their nation is out to get them, they don't tend to feel a lot of loyalty to that nation. Terrorist bombings? Time to go home. I think the Aussies had right when the PM reminded Muslims that they can always go back home. What about terrorists dressed as women wearing burqas?
