  1. Good way to get more revenue. That little extra for the 'county' sticker adds-up. Chuck
  2. I've wondered about leaving outdoor or garage lights on all night. Doesn't that help the 'bad guy' to see better, what he's after? Chuck
  3. Oh, c'mon! Texas also has license plate for wild flower lovers, animal lovers, lizard lovers, various universities in Texas, Purple Heart, military veterans, Knights of Columbus and so-on and so on. As long as the plate is not deemed obscene or inciteful, it's hunky dory! I don't believe any of the U.S. States allow '4-Q' or 'KILTHPRES'' or something like that. To twist this issue into some taliban like movement is a little over-board. Chuck
  4. I've read where GE has really climbed onto the 'climate' bandwagon. I don't mind a 'change' but when the govt. steps-in and is basically forcing people to buy something, I don't like it. Especially when one corporation stands to profit, I smell a rat. It smells of under the table dealings between the government and big business. If, both types of bulbs are left so people can make a choice, great! I like being able to make a choice. Chuck
  5. Phillips makes a lot of light bulbs too. I'm wondering if these manufacturing companies have already been forced to invest in millions of dollars of new manufacturing equipment for the forced change-over, which now might not actually happen? Have hardware stores invested millions in inventory of new bulbs that the public will now not buy? Both of which will drive up the consumer prices, causing consumers to collectively spend millions more for bulbs. This is good example of how government edicts cost everyone a lot of money. Sounds to me like someone capitalizing off the 'climate crisis' thing. Chuck
  6. I had the good fortune to work for a fuel and oil distributor, owned by a remarkable man. He was a WWII vet, a Naval officer. He started-out as the company accountant before the war. He wound-up being the CEO. He could meet you for the first time and you might not see him for months after but he remembered your name the next time he saw you. We had medical & dental insurance, we got raises, every three months as well as 'safety bonuses'. His business theory was, treat your help right and they'll do you a good job. Give good service and customers will be back. Shortly before I left the company, he retired and his step-son took over the business. Almost immediately, wages were cut, dental insurance was cut, raises and safety bonuses ceased. Hands quit and new hires started at minnimum wage. Long time customers went elswhere. Company branches were closed. With-in two years, the step-son sold-out! The new owners were the same as him. The company is still there but no where near what it was. I earned a lot from that. Chuck
  7. The Walton's took $26 from me yesterday morning. In return they gave me a jump drive and some audio cabling. You don't want spin? You're entire posts are spin! So...what you are really saying is that you took a jump drive and some audio cabling away from the Walton family. Leaving them a few bits of paper makes it all OK? You, sir have stolen solid, material possessions from that family and ought to be ashamed of yourself. There's a stretch! Chuck
  8. The fish really, really like his bait. OTOH, he's really, really good at it! He's the Shah of SC! Good, solid, response-provoking keyboarding. He comes across as extremely arrogant yet condescending and if you let him, he can really push the right buttons. I really think, he's actually a 1%er but putting-up a front as to the opposite. I find him quite amusing. I recall a time when 1%ers were outlaw bikers! Chuck
  9. Life is a big game... ya' gotta be a playah! Chuck You sir, have got the right of that. Sometimes, I get lucky... and I'll take luck over skill, any day! Chuck
  10. It's O.K.! You'll feel like that at first then you'll realize that the problem is not you. Hang tough... you can do this. Chuck
  11. Hmmmm... Was that last supposed to be... -milf -mine -milk -my house in all my dreams -????? That was supposed to have been mind. Chuck
  12. ok, dreamdancer. Now answer the fucking question. What'd I tell ya'? Chuck
  13. Life is a big game... ya' gotta be a playah! Chuck
  14. What's really amazing is, the way he ducks and dodges a direct question like a prize-fighter. Still, folks respond to him. I don't understand. Chuck
  15. It is in your best interest that those who are holding the most capital either spend it or invest it in positions that create jobs within the US. Is that why, so many athletes, race car drivers, entertainers form 'charities'? To avoid a large tax bill? Chuck
  16. Paris Hilton enterprises have generated millions in sales (tv shows, luxury goods, porn). No question she got a leg up to start, but she's not been sitting back living off the inheritance. I can't figure out the fascination with the Kardiashian family, but it appears that they created the marketplace for their sordid life, much like that Tila Tequila created something out of myspace fame. It's the American way, no? Hardly different from Hollywood fame. Ahh! Paris is off the hook, then. The Kardashians are famous for being famous. Bruce Jenner just gets the scraps. In an interview with Barbara Walters, Ms. Walters said; "None of you can sing, dance or act... you have no talent!" One of the Kardashian girls responded with; 'We are just being ourselves. People want to see us and how we live. It's hard... it's difficult!' Say WHAT? You gotta be kiddin' me! It's amazing but you're right... it's the American way! It's nuts! Chuck
  17. except it was... (for year after year after year for anyone not white) silly but true... Yep It is true you are silly by ignoring the racism that went on you are putting yourself in the racist camp... and the race card flies I was right You are silly When in doubt... they whip it out! Chuck do you deny the racism that went on? thus also putting yourself in the racist camp... WOW! Is that all you got? Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiike three... you're outa here! Chuck Hell man Some places sell tickets for less entertainment that this guy offers for free Chuck
  18. You bet! Along with twisting of words and condescension thrown in. Chuck Hey look! He is calling you a racist too! all you've got to do is agree that racism went on with regard to loans. easy to say it (cus it's true) and then we can move on... No! Chuck by denying it you put yourself in the racist camp then. we can all draw our own conclusions... What is fun about this is YOU can draw your own conclusions or delusions which ever it may be Heavy on the delusions. Chuck
  19. That's voluntary behaviour by the financial insitutions. The claim here relates to forced lending practices, which really only relates to the CRA. Oh, o.k. For some reason, I thought, I saw a similarity... thanks. Chuck
  20. except it was... (for year after year after year for anyone not white) silly but true...

Chuck do you deny the racism that went on? thus also putting yourself in the racist camp... WOW! Is that all you got? Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiike three... you're outa here! Chuck did racism happen or not? by denying it with flippant comments you only put yourself deeper in the racist camp... Speaking of 'flippant answers'... Chuck
