I don't know you, but that post is the last one I expected from someone I consider one of the funniest on this site. That first one you mention hadn't worked its way into the front of my brain yet, but it's absolutely true. With a true friend, the better something is that happens to you, the happier they'll be for you (as opposed to the more jealous they'll be of you). I think a true friend can try to fix you. If my best friend developed a personality problem (e.g. depression, addiction problem, inability to control emotion, etc), I'd try to help fix it. It wouldn't make him any less my friend unless the actions associated with the problem crossed certain lines, but I'd still try to help correct it. The aid portion is a given. If they're only around during the good times, when you don't need help, they're not a friend. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

As I posted to Narcimund, I'm mostly arguing for the sake of arguing. On a broader scale I would have a problem with this, due to the whole "whites only" neighborhoods thing. However, in order to get to the point that I'd find issue, they'd first have to institute such a policy (presumably informal). Until then, I'm mostly cool with it. 5000 acres ain't much. I wonder how big they'd have to get to have an impact in the state legislature. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew) -
I guess on the positive side, I don't have to worry about using soap on a rope. If you'd jump the fence for Mick Jagger and David Bowie, you wouldn't possibly ever be interested in me!

What he said. I'm pretty sure I've hooked a student's legs once or twice, but I don't specifically remember any since right after I got my rating (at first I thought it was something important to do). Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Presumably you haven't ever had any difficulty finding a home close to your job due to it being in a a "straights only" neighborhood? Quite a few years didn't fix "whites only" neighborhoods, that's why the FHA was passed in the first place. Yes, I'm mostly just arguing for the sake of it. I wouldn't really care if all the Mormons moved to Salt Lake City, Catholics to this town, etc. I just wouldn't like what such moves would represent (polarization versus homogenization).

I would register as a Republican just so I could vote for them in the primary. I think that would be a landslide ticket, and it would certainly get my ticket. The Republicans would probably lose some votes on the far right, ala Ross Perot, but their gains among moderates would be monstrous. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

Overall it's a stupid idea, but I like this part. If you shoot an unarmed person, you should be put on trial for manslaughter at a minimum, regardless of whether you were in uniform at the time. That said, once deadly force is the only reasonable option, I think one should use it rather than try some "shoot to wound" approach. I don't see how it would be all that enforceable anyhow, as an officer could simply say "I WAS shooting for his leg/arm. I just missed!" Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

I didn't get the 6th grade thing, but did get a similar 2-hour tutorial in 9th grade. Now that I'm an adult and have developed a somewhat broader base of knowledge on the subject, I'd be in favor of the same basic timeframe (8th-9th grade), but a much more in-depth analysis of the subject of human sexuality. Maybe a 2-3 week module that included the basic male/female biologies including healthy function and potential problems, the reproductive cycle, birth control and disease prevention, and maybe a little on the social aspects, to include consent, stigma, abnormal, etc. That much time ought to be long enough to get the kids to stop the giggling and take a semi-mature look at the subject.

Do you understand the meaning of the statement, "We are fully prepared."? (No, I don't have time to go read the transcripts right now, and so I'll admit it's possible that said statement was taken out of context in the article).

I'd advice that you pronounce their type of business correctly, e.g. fi-nan-shul rather than fi-nan-eyal. Just be yourself Scott. They're accountants and thus have a soft spot for dorks.

Sure, but that would be telling me that I hurt someone, not telling me something that would hurt me (which was the original question). Would you want to know if I knew that you hurt someone who knew that I'd been hurt by someone who knew you? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Totally depends on the information and the relationship. I don't think that not volunteering information is always "dishonest", but it's also not the same as withholding information. Some things should be volunteered, other things are more of a "don't tell unless asked" nature. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Au contraire! Apparently you are a lesbian supermodel (I was sensing some fantasy potential!! ). Unfortunately you are also a heroin addict and have AIDS . You were arrested in 1981 for driving under the influence of a narcotic. Edit to add: Oh, and you've been dead for 20+ years, just so ya know. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

That sounds like something out of Footloose! There were actually some girls in high school who called me "Ren" Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

First result: "On Saturday April 21st, Dave was arrested for the simple reason that he wanted to find out why a man a few meters from him was being assaulted by three police officers." Second result: "Dave was arrested for not having a dance permit. " The rest aren't nearly as cool or funny. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Do you mean that there aren't any American cars that will run longer than 7 years or 110,000 miles? I thought he was just saying that if longevity is the goal, Honda or Toyota is the best way to go. I'd agree. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I've seen late 70's to mid 80's toyota pickups and cars with 250-300k miles on them, and a late 80's honda civic that saw 350k before giving up the ghost. I just passed 100k on my toyota tundra and am not really expecting to see those kinds of numbers given it was only the second model year for the drivetrain, but so far the only things I've had to replace have been tires, brake pads, fluids, filters, and a couple light bulbs.
