  1. Spoken like a true lawyer. Ahh, similie vs metaphor. Spoken as a true lawyer. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
  2. Spoken like a true lawyer. No, spoken as a true lawyer. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
  3. No, (and speaking generally here) people who take a left turn out of reality worry me a bit, no matter how benign they seem. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
  4. A human made movie is backing up your belief??? Dear Jesus ..... Windcatcher, Really. Read and reflect what this poster is saying. Your comments just sound so emotionally driven and trite. Once one makes the leap of ...er, faith they most likely can see confirmation in a bowl of alphabet soup. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
  5. It is unless you're going to attack Canada or Mexico. Otherwise, you've got to go by sea to get there. Should I go get a ruler ...or are you guys just gonna poke your dicks at eachother and see who wins?? ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
  6. How bout, "When what you are doing is failing, try something different"? Somehow, the way it was done before managed to win every war but Vietnam. And that's what it's about - winning wars. How bout, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." And I did basic in 1993 - a kinder, gentler era. Hmmm, did you miss the part about "the army is barely meeting or coming under their recruiting goals"? If it isn't broken, it at least calls for a roll or two of duct tape. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
  7. Until the the Supreme Court ruled against it last year in a narrow 5-4 decision (with Rehnquist, Scalia, Thomas and O'Connor voting to continue the practice) the US was one of five coutries in the world that executed minors. The others are Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, China and Iran ...nice company, eh? ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

  9. You should take several things into consideration when deciding what type of uniform to buy. First and foremost, consider the instructor and school where you are planning to study. Many schools have a "dress code" where they want all students to appear similar, so to an outsider there is order and discipline. Also, in many schools the uniform is part of a package that is offered with the initial registration - you may end up with two - one which you may not want to wear. If you are going to be training in a more informal setting, then you should next consider the type of art you will be practicing. If you will be grappling or throwing (Judo, Ju-Jitsu, Aikido etc) you should use a heavier uniform, such as a judogi. This will type of jacket will stand up much better to the rough handling. If you will be practicing Hapkido, a traditional patterned uniform (dobok) may be called for. For Kung Fu, a completely different style uniform is used, with a sash instead of a belt. I've owned three "Double-Guard" brand uniform and find them to be quite well made and the belts to be of the highest quality for uniforms that should be used for Karate, Hapkido, T.K.D. etc. Many distributors will often customize these belts for you as well with your name in English, Korean etc. However, you should consider my initial statement: speak to your intended instructor. He/She may have a preferred choice. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
  10. I had an opportunity to work at the animal research center for the Shriners Burns Institute in Galveston one summer. They experimented with synthetic skin on burnt animals. Basically they took pigs, gave them burns, applied synthetic skin, and tested if it would take. While it seemed cruel (animals were put under anesthesia during the burning process), I also had an opportunity to meet children, some of who’s bodies were covered 95% in 3rd degree burns, as well as their parents. I saw 10 year old boys burnt so bad that they had no genitals left. It was these kids that were being helped through the testing done on the pigs and sheep. I think it’s a fair trade of. Great work! I have zero problem with such research. Torturing animals so that shallow women can paint their faces, however ... ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
  11. I neither commented nor assumed anything about your character. (I have a couple of ...er followers here that do that ). My comment was concerning 'Clear and Present Danger' and your views concerning it in general and whether or not it applies in this case. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
  12. May I then assume you would be disgusted about laws prohibiting someone from shouting "fire" or "bomb" in a crowded theater or airport? The temporary ban seems to me to be an attempt to pre-empt violence under the principle of clear and present danger. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
  13. When women spend much of their lives promoting how they look, how could you possibly be offended by discussion of ...looks??? ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
  14. Damn! That kid just wasn't having a good day. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
  15. I will gladly take my $20 and my attitude of skydiving is beautiful away from your business enterprise as long as there are DZ's that value what skydiving is about. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
  16. Roger that! ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
  17. Did you write this, or did you do a quick copy-paste from someone else's writings? ,,,or not. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
  18. Translated accurately? Likely not all of them, probably not even a large percentage of them. However, if they do keep tabs on the various translations then perhaps the Internet community will help to locate the 'interesting' documents. That's my take on things, anyway. - Jim I suspect the really 'interesting' ones were not released. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
  19. 16 - yes - yes ...and yes mom walked in during the ...er, climax (his). I can't say it was rewarding. It was more like getting something accomplished. It was several years before I learned to really, really enjoy sex ...really! ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
  20. You are pretty consistently rude to people around here -- wtf is your problem? At least the guy writes down and expresses his own thoughts, rather than STEAL them from other people. Knowing that you're a proud plagiarist, it's pretty funny reading your personal attacks on ANYONE else, for ANY reason! Well ...damn Who pissed in your corn flakes? A percentage of the population simply functions better in hightly structured environments characterized by clear-cut tasks and instructions. I think it's great these people have found such situations. In all honesty, there are many others who could benefit from it. Mellow out, anger boy. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
  21. Ahhh ...guess I'll just have to get better a playing poker. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
  22. Not sure if there was a point buried in there somewhere, but based on what you have to say here, I'm glad you live and work in a structured environment with a chain of command to assist you with decision making. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
  23. BOB ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
  24. I would love to play, but I'm not very good. If it has to be a minimum of $10, then how bout increasing t the number of winning slots? I see a a handfull of the better players taking home pretty big bucks each week. I notice some of the tourneys pay out the top 15-20% of players. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
  25. Don't know about the vine, but my mom tells me that in rural southern cultures, it was (is?) used for vaginal prolapse. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
