  1. Ought to make it our new Capitol. Our devoted leaders would spend more time home and not passing laws they don't read.
  2. NO. It's called midget discrimination. Of course you could get around it by providing step ladders.
  3. If you are successfull who cares. But the court thing could be bad if the judge sites you for content or declares a mistrial.
  4. I am in complete agreement with you here and this is where American politics fails it's people, or was it that the American people allow their politics to fail themselves. The more qualified candidates (Romney and Paul) get disqualified based on their religious beliefs while the Christian (Palin) potentially wins the nomination for all the wrong reasons. Unless Obama makes some major mistakes, the GOP will be handing Obama a 2nd term if he goes up against Palin. Did you know that a few weeks ago Calgary (arguably Canada's most conservative city) elected a Muslim to be North America's first city with a Muslim as mayor? Not once during the election campaign did Naheed Nenshi's religious beliefs become a big issue. I don't want to pat ourselves too much on our collective backs, but contrary to what other Canadians think of us, we here in Calgary tend to judge people based on their experience and what they may bring to the job more than judge them on their race, their gender and their religious beliefs. Of course the Obama/Nenshi comparisons are already being made which as far as I am concerned is a mistake. I wish people would stop thinking of politicians as their saviors. Doesn't a person get charged with a hate crime by speaking poorly of somebody's religion in Canada?
  5. Poof, there goes my freedom of speech. Oh well, five black robe people in the whole US population know best.
  6. Just shoot the children No No I will need a whole bunch to deposit money into the Social Secuity Trust fund (AKA "The Lock Box"). I'm getting close to collecting.
  7. Why do you think that? Probably because you have no idea what services ACORN provided to lower income people. Housing, mortgage and credit advice, neighborhood violence, minimum wage (FL ballot issue that resulted in over 1 million people getting $1/hr raise plus future indexing), free tax return preparation for low-income people, screeening for state and federal benefit programs, raising funds for Katrina relief. ACORN got a lot of negative press for voter fraud, but there were actually zero cases of fraudulent voting. What was true was that some of their workers were fucking cheats and were turning in fake registrations, because it was easier to fake them than do their work of canvassing door to door. The famous "pimp" video turned out to be heavily edited, such that the Massachusetts AG found no criminal action -- he did find that ACORN management oversight was lax. Government should just sub those services out to Walmart.
  8. +1 +2 Stupid kike! Billy, while there are stupid kikes out there (like me), Pelosi is a Roman Catholic. RCINO
  9. If I was serious I would. Nice article about the other kid.
  10. Yeah. We get it. Don't even need a code-book. Speak your mind clearly and precise. I don't have the key.
  11. No, He's just been hand cuffed by the secret service and left for the regular police to taser him.
  12. Umm, whatcha mean? We did a Star Trek theme this year. Last year we were cowboys. Are you saying you have to stick to goblins and ghouls? You should have been Miss Kitty?
  13. The kid is a menace to society. Not a conformist. The horse poop is a hazard. The sword he had could run through three people at once. Even if fake there had to be militant intent. The squire is almost equivalent to slavery. The fucking horse flies he brought to infest the school. Worse than bed bugs. 1100 pounds of fury that could go postal and crush tens of kids before cops got there and shoot the horse 276 times. And the worse offense - They gave the horse a french name. Pierre Trigger is rolling in his grave. (Yeh I know he's stuffed.) Two days is not enough. http://www.myfoxboston.com/dpp/news/local/horse-riding-teen-suspended-from-school-20101031
  14. If it's alcoholic, they'll bust you for bringing a combustible liquid aboard. Buy it at the duty free shop and bring it on board.
  15. It has been a long time since I've had an economics class, but isn't that like something called supply and demand. And to general discussion. Don't these kids get three healthy squares a day in their schools now?
  16. In the military context, I think 'casualties' refers to any troop not fit for battle, not to actual fatalities. A twisted ankle or broken hand would be classified as a casualty because that soldier would not be available to participate in battle. True but, in the practical sense such as the airborne drops on D-Day, I don't think those guys had any option but to participate in the battle until they got some relief from the troops from the beach. From wiki About 13,000 101st and 82nd troops {D-Day casualties for the airborne divisions were calculated in August 1944 as 1,240 for the 101st Airborne Division and 1,259 for the 82nd Airborne. Of those, the 101st suffered 182 killed, 557 wounded, and 501 missing. For the 82nd, the total was 156 killed, 347 wounded, and 756 missing.[17]}
  17. Yeah, I remember John Rocker. He was quite a character! I think the last game I ever attended, he sprinted out from the bullpen for a save opportunity. Remember the hot water he got into over some racist statements he made? I can't remember what it was all about though, but that was the end of him for sure. 2000 quote in SI
  18. They will be finding our bombs, and Brit's, for the next 100+ years. I remember somewhere in Germany or the Eastern block countries two bomb disposal guys were kill when the bomb blew up while working on it. Casualties of WWII.
