Chris OConnor « Mon Jan 23, 2012 11:06 pm » So far I'm loving it. The 7-year olds are so damn cute. Just hearing all their dreams and aspirations about their future. Already at 14 years old some changes have taken place and things are getting interesting. I haven't finished the age 14 episode so wait a bit and I'll have more to say.

Saffron « Mon Jan 23, 2012 9:19 pm » So, what do you think Chris?

Chris OConnor « Mon Jan 23, 2012 12:06 pm » Saffron, I've watched the first two episodes in the series.

Saffron « Fri Jan 20, 2012 11:57 pm » I am watching on Netflix - streaming.
|
|
Chris OConnor « Fri Jan 20, 2012 11:09 pm » This series sounds really intriguing. What a cool social experiment. I'll see if I can find the series on our cable TV here in Florida. Maybe NetFlix has it.

President Camacho « Thu Jan 12, 2012 9:58 pm » sometimes I wonder just how sharp these professors actually are. If they've reached a level of knowledge, written it down, and relied on their previous genius ever since, their brains are probably as trite as their lesson plans have become over time.
|
|
President Camacho « Thu Jan 12, 2012 9:53 pm » knowledge is the easiest communicable help and provides such value but to withhold it shows not only laziness but contempt for human improvement

Chris OConnor « Tue Nov 22, 2011 11:44 pm » Yes, you do need iTunes. What makes you not interested in either an iPod or iTunes?

Aqueda_Veronica « Thu Nov 17, 2011 11:36 am » There's a one hour time difference in between Poland and England. I know it is complicated to make things work for everyone, especially that most of users live in different English speaking countries. I do not wish to be difficult by any means, I do appreciate your effort Chris.
|
|
Chris OConnor « Wed Nov 16, 2011 9:48 pm » If we do a chat on a weekend around 1:00 pm this enables people out in California to attend at 10:00 am their time. People in and around the UK could attend around 7:00 pm their time It is tough to make it work. I see that you're in Poland so that means a few hours east of England right?

|
|
Chris OConnor « Wed Nov 16, 2011 10:44 am » What time would you prefer?
|
|
Chris OConnor « Wed Nov 16, 2011 10:43 am » Aqueda, we did take into account the time differences. Most of our members are in the Eastern United States. Then the next group is in the pacific time zone. 9:00 pm Eastern allows people in the Pacific time zone to get home from work and attend the chat at 6:00 pm their time. There is no time for a chat that will work for people in the US, UK, and Australia all at once.

|
|
Chris OConnor « Sat Oct 08, 2011 9:57 am » I've had a horrible experience with a jalepeno pepper too years ago. I worked at a restaurant as a cook and I was in the walk-in cooler one day. I saw a jar of japs so I thought I would grab one and taste it. I simply touched the pepper to my lower lip and I swear I almost had to go to the hospital. My lip was on fire for hours. I think sometimes the heat is concentrated and you can really hurt yourself.
|
|
President Camacho « Sat Oct 08, 2011 9:19 am » lol . I had a slightly similar story with a ghost pepper I cut up for chili. I went to the bathroom after washing my hands but still that whole area felt like it was on fire. Now whenever I cut peppers I use plastic gloves.

|
|
Chris OConnor « Tue Jul 12, 2011 6:55 pm » I just emailed Robert about that. Christ in Egypt doesn't have numbered chapters (as far as I can tell) so I'm not sure how the forum should be organized. I will leave that up to Robert.

President Camacho « Sat Jun 18, 2011 3:25 pm » and then you grab it when opportunity affords itself.
|
|
President Camacho « Sat Jun 18, 2011 3:24 pm » the rodeo is basically dragging the crab underwater in a figure 8 as fast as you can so that the drag of the water doesn't permit the other claw from coming around.
|
|
President Camacho « Sat Jun 18, 2011 3:24 pm » you'll see a hole and a stone crab'll be in there. Then you grab a claw as fast as you can and tear him out. He's gunna be reaching around with the other claw so you have to either catch that claw or do what I've heard is called the rodeo.
|
|
President Camacho « Sat Jun 18, 2011 3:23 pm » stone crabs make their homes in the shoals. You may get lucky and find one in a lobster trap but it's rare. To get one you have to dive down and scout the small cliffs where the grass and sand meet underwater.
|
|
President Camacho « Sat Jun 18, 2011 3:19 pm » I can't remember ever having eaten a Maine lobster. Chris, if you're thinking long legs with long small claws it's snow but if you're thinking big fat claws with some black on them it's stone
|
|
Chris OConnor « Sat Jun 18, 2011 12:00 am » Is it snow crab o stone crab that is so damn good?
|
|
froglipz « Fri Jun 17, 2011 9:39 pm » the clawe meat is far far better than the tail, and the legs even have some meat worth going after. I alwaya hated getting the roe, but my Dad would usually take care of that for me
|
|
President Camacho « Fri Jun 17, 2011 10:33 am » In Maine, the lobsters are cooked whole. Here, we twist the carapace from the tail and just cook the tail. Some really low income people cook the heads for stews/soups/bisks.
|
|
President Camacho « Fri Jun 17, 2011 10:32 am » the stick is to harass or tickle the lobster into propelling backwards (they kick and go in reverse). The net is placed behind the lobster so that when he gets frightened and kicks, he's caught.
|
|
President Camacho « Fri Jun 17, 2011 10:30 am » lmao frog... Well, some people trap for them down here but the large majority free dive for them using nets and tickle sticks
|
|
froglipz « Thu Jun 16, 2011 1:49 pm » how do you catch them? We race them and hypnotize them but I have never caught one....
|
|
President Camacho « Wed Jun 15, 2011 7:00 pm » tastes like rubber,,, and the butter you dip it in
|
|
froglipz « Wed Jun 15, 2011 3:31 pm » lobster is very good, especially steamed and then the meat dropped in butter....mmmm mmmm mmm

|
|
Chris OConnor « Wed Jun 08, 2011 2:25 pm » I'm just not sure how to get more people into the book discussions. The forums are busier than they have ever been so we have the traffic and activity. It is the book discussions (supposedly our main purpose for existing!) that are slow.
|
|
Dexter « Wed Jun 08, 2011 9:16 am » Sorry about that Chris. I wasn't really interested in the other selections. And I don't really want mine picked if no one else will read it.

Star Burst « Fri Apr 22, 2011 3:31 am » Oh your talking classical....no thanks appreciate it anyway.
|
|
Star Burst « Thu Apr 21, 2011 11:05 am » Guess not.
|
|
Star Burst « Thu Apr 21, 2011 8:01 am » Robert what is this music? Purcell's Funeral Music? Got a link?
|
|
Robert Tulip « Thu Apr 21, 2011 7:32 am » I had a funny experience with Clockwork Orange. I was singing Purcell's Funeral Music, and on the night of the concert discovered for the first time as I heard it that the brass chorale was the theme of Kubrick's film.
|
|
Star Burst « Thu Apr 21, 2011 6:16 am » Yeah me to. I have two here at home a big male and one female. We have grown very attached to both. The female we have had since she was a kitten 11 years.
|
|
Saffron « Wed Apr 20, 2011 6:08 am » Thanks you, Dexter. A sad wakeful night for me, last night.
|
|
Dexter « Wed Apr 20, 2011 3:48 am » Sorry to hear about your cat Saffron...
|
|
Saffron « Tue Apr 19, 2011 8:18 pm » Where is the thread for sad? My 17 year old, yellow tabby cat died this evening.....
|
|
President Camacho « Tue Apr 19, 2011 5:52 pm » I finished BK so I decided to read Clockwork Orange. I have never thrown a book in the trash so fast.
|
|
President Camacho « Mon Apr 18, 2011 7:48 pm » I don't understand... what happened after the few hours of candle lit dinner and wine...? XD
|
|
Chris OConnor « Mon Apr 18, 2011 8:36 am » Oh, we're not close at all. I've just had the opportunity to spend a few days in his company and this gave me a glimpse of his personality and life philosophy.
|
|
President Camacho « Mon Apr 18, 2011 5:26 am » he represents progress. I didnt know you two were that close.
|
|
Chris OConnor « Sun Apr 17, 2011 7:21 pm » I've spent quite a few hours with Dawkins having dinner and wine and good conversation and he is definitely a nice guy. Dawkins reprimanded an atheist that was dragging her 10-year old son through the court system (long story) when in Dawkins eyes a 10-year old is not old enough to know if he or she is an atheist or theist. Parents should not assign such labels. Dawkins has a lot of character.
|
|
President Camacho « Sun Apr 17, 2011 5:48 pm » Family... Newton didn't have one and he was brilliant. Thank you, Newton... but I can't prescribe your way of life for a whole society...
|
|
President Camacho « Sun Apr 17, 2011 5:46 pm » if he is then... if his children describe him as a person about his business with little regard for family then I have a small problem with that.
|
|
President Camacho « Sun Apr 17, 2011 5:46 pm » Dawkins, himself, does not appear to be a spiritually needy person but I would want to talk to his family to see if he is as "cold" as he appears in interviews
|
|
President Camacho « Sun Apr 17, 2011 5:43 pm » I think that's what I've learned from reading B.K.
|
|
President Camacho « Sun Apr 17, 2011 5:41 pm » Dawkins is the first step... but like Iraq, we need an extended strategy for the massive amount of spiritually needed people we have
|
|
President Camacho « Sun Apr 17, 2011 5:40 pm » Because we have moved past an illusion we need something to replace it but it needs to be just as edifying as the illusion we must let go of
|
|
President Camacho « Sun Apr 17, 2011 5:39 pm » We need to get to that next step desperately.
|
|
President Camacho « Sun Apr 17, 2011 5:38 pm » The fact Dawkins gets so much play time in America is evidence we're retarded.
|
|
Star Burst « Sun Apr 17, 2011 7:20 am » Thats cool Chris I understand your reasoning for it.
|
|
Chris OConnor « Sun Apr 17, 2011 12:35 am » The atheism forum was merged back into the religion forum. And the Bible forum was merged back into the religion forum too. It was redundant having 3 forums all based on religion, or lack thereof, and I believe it was scaring away people that arrived on BookTalk.org with a desire to talk about books. We can still have our religion discussions in the "Belief, Religioj and Philosophy" forum, but it is in BookTalk.org's best interest to not have the entire site appearing to be focused on that subject.
|
|
Dawn « Sun Apr 17, 2011 12:03 am » Ditto StarBurst's question: What happened to the Bible And Christianity forum (and contents)?
|
|
Star Burst « Sat Apr 16, 2011 1:33 pm » Edgar Allen Poe, let's vote for him instead.
|
|
Saffron « Sat Apr 16, 2011 7:02 am » Vote for your favorite Emily Dickinson of the Top 500. Look on the Poetry Forum for the thread to vote.

Star Burst « Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:05 am » Hey! What happened to the Bible and Christianity forum?
|
|
Chris OConnor « Wed Apr 13, 2011 1:44 am » Thanks for leading the discussion for "The Decameron," President Camacho. And Dexter I appreciate you taking charge of the "A Devil's Chaplain" book discussion.

Saffron « Tue Apr 12, 2011 7:29 pm » The poetry contest goes slowly

Chris OConnor « Mon Apr 11, 2011 4:33 pm » How is the poetry contest going now?

Saffron « Sun Apr 03, 2011 8:03 pm » Look on the Poetry Forum for the thread (National Poetry Month Callenge) for details. Basically just post your poem.
|
|
Star Burst « Sun Apr 03, 2011 6:38 pm » Alright I will bite how do I enter?
|
|
Chris OConnor « Sun Apr 03, 2011 5:18 pm » One or more participants will get a free book in Saffron's poetry contest.
|
|
Saffron « Sun Apr 03, 2011 10:54 am » Maybe you, give it a try.
|
|
Star Burst « Sun Apr 03, 2011 10:31 am » Who can write a poem that short?
|
|
Saffron « Sat Apr 02, 2011 10:29 pm » Nope, charaters -- letters, numbers, punctuation marks
|
|
Star Burst « Sat Apr 02, 2011 3:25 pm » I am assuming thats 140 words not letters!
|

Saffron « Sat Apr 02, 2011 2:45 pm » 140 character limit poems needed for Poetry Forum contest

Robert Tulip « Thu Mar 24, 2011 3:38 pm » Thanks Guys, it is funny being on the other side of the date line from the US, as it is already Friday here. I went with my wife last Saturday to the Australian National Gallery to see the exhibition of Diaghilev and the Ballet Russe, might comment on it in the Dostoyevsky thread. Will have friends over this Saturday to jam.

justinbarfield « Tue Mar 22, 2011 10:12 am » Thanks, President Camacho, for your help with the homophones. I've told the students to be more mindful of their grammar and punctuation since we are now on a public forum; they don't want to come off sounding "silly". I'll be sure to show them your post when we return from Spring break. Cheers.

DWill « Tue Mar 15, 2011 8:26 am » I finally figured out that justin barfield must be a h.s. teacher trying to get his students talking to each other about lit. He's sure loading up the thread crawl.

|

Chris OConnor « Wed Feb 09, 2011 10:57 pm » We allow authors and publishers to plug their books if they do it in the correct forum AND don't lie and pretend they're simply a reader that found the book so amazing that they just had to create an account on BookTalk.org to tell total strangers about it. So 7pr isn't spam in that he or she is plugging a non-fiction book in the Non-Fiction Book Suggestions and Polls forum.

geo « Wed Feb 09, 2011 9:45 am » But it makes it easier to ignore someone -- a troll, for instance.
|
|
geo « Wed Feb 09, 2011 9:44 am » You can click on the posts and read them if you want.
|
|
geo « Wed Feb 09, 2011 9:43 am » By making someone your 'Foe,' their posts become hidden -- like spoilers.
|
|
Saffron « Tue Feb 08, 2011 9:47 pm » So, what does the 'Foe' function do? I've wondered -- other than let you know your foe is online.
|
|
Chris OConnor « Tue Feb 08, 2011 2:03 pm » LOL I'm sure it was less random than you're suggesting.
|
|
geo « Tue Feb 08, 2011 9:32 am » Yes, that was pretty random.
|
|
geo « Tue Feb 08, 2011 9:32 am » Try the 'Foe' function. It's amazing.
|
|
geo « Tue Feb 08, 2011 9:31 am » By engaging the Troll in dialogue you only validate his worldview. You elevate his nonsensical ideas into the realm of discourse. This is exactly what the Troll wants. It doesn't matter that his ideas are easily knocked down. It only matters that he has an audience for them.

We allow authors to plug their books but NOT in the wrong forums and NOT pretending they just stumbled upon the book and are sharing it with us. They have to be honest. Use common sense. Spammers will not be tolerated so just give their name and/or a link here and I'll get rid of them quickly.

|
|
oblivion « Fri Jan 28, 2011 2:02 pm » The fishing book was actually a comedy. The Wilberforce one is a tragedy

|
|

Robert Tulip « Fri Jan 14, 2011 8:07 am » I did go swimabout in the Clarence River at Grafton last Saturday. I was on holiday with a friend and went on a donut behind his speedboat, and he managed to bounce me off into the big river, so I swam back to the bank. We watched the river rise to the top of the levee over the next few days. Offshore plastic dams are the go.

|
Jim Watters « Sun Nov 28, 2010 9:04 pm » Comedian Leslie Nielsen dead at 84.
|
Jim Watters « Sun Nov 28, 2010 1:23 am » Wow Chris, you've been busy tonight. 
|
|
wilde « Sat Nov 27, 2010 11:46 pm » no politics at the dinner table!
|
|
Jim Watters « Sat Nov 27, 2010 11:15 pm » I can't argue with that. Or any sex or private parts. Thank you.
|
|
Chris OConnor « Sat Nov 27, 2010 11:10 pm » These discussions are visible to everyone with 10 or more posts so it is probably a good idea to avoid swearing or references to anal sex.
|
|
Jim Watters « Fri Nov 26, 2010 9:57 pm » And the housing crisis that knocked down our economy was setup by Democrats. You can't argue that.
|
|
Jim Watters « Fri Nov 26, 2010 9:43 pm » Satan exists. We have Obama, Pelosi, and Reid.
|
|
President Camacho « Fri Nov 26, 2010 5:09 pm » then god did nothing about it... as usual... because he doesn't exist
|
|
President Camacho « Fri Nov 26, 2010 5:08 pm » food prices go hand in hand with oil prices which were pretty darn high last time a republican was in office ... over 3 bucks a gallon
|
|
Jim Watters « Fri Nov 26, 2010 5:05 pm » Republicans are for smaller government and tax cuts. Democrats are for bigger government which requires eventual tax hikes to support their massive spending. Plus, watch food prices rise next year.
|
|
President Camacho « Fri Nov 26, 2010 4:52 pm » nah the republicans would just want to tax me to death... i wouldn't make enough for their tax breaks for the rich
|
|
Jim Watters « Fri Nov 26, 2010 4:51 pm » Hey, there's an open market business opportunity for you PC!
|
|
President Camacho « Fri Nov 26, 2010 2:00 pm » why don't they sell eagle eggs in the store?
|
|
Jim Watters « Fri Nov 26, 2010 2:51 am » To think that the turkey was proposed as our country's official bird. I'm glad the bald eagle won out.
|
|
President Camacho « Thu Nov 25, 2010 11:06 pm » Yeah all you non American members - no Turkey for u
|
|
Jim Watters « Thu Nov 25, 2010 9:13 pm » Thank you Chris! Happy Thanksgiving!
|

Chris OConnor « Sun Nov 21, 2010 3:08 pm » That was pretty funny, PC. LOL
|
|
froglipz « Sat Nov 20, 2010 3:15 pm » LoL PC isn't that so "courteous" of them? I would think it would be more courteous to waive the fee.
|
|
lindad_amato « Fri Nov 19, 2010 8:32 pm » Jim, where are you interviewing?
|
|
President Camacho « Fri Nov 19, 2010 7:34 pm » I'm going to give them a courtesy kick in the crotch
|
|
President Camacho « Fri Nov 19, 2010 7:33 pm » paypal sucked my donation out of an account I'm in the process of closing. I withdrew all the funds in preparation to close it as my job provides its own bank. For my 10 dollar donation I got charge 35 dollars "courtesy" fee. lol!!!
|
|
Jim Watters « Thu Nov 18, 2010 9:28 pm » Yeah, the interview went great! Part of their benefits is up to $50,000 in tuition, but only for the certificates and degrees from the colleges we are affiliated with. I should know by Wednesday if I received the job. Greg and I will be taking lunches together.
|
|
Chris OConnor « Thu Nov 18, 2010 5:39 pm » OK, good to hear that, Jim.
|
|
Jim Watters « Thu Nov 18, 2010 3:04 am » Hey Chris, I have a promising job interview today and have finished studying for the CompTIA A+ Exams. So I'll be reading "The Grand Design" next week and fullfil my responsibility as discussion leader.
|
|
lindad_amato « Tue Nov 16, 2010 10:47 am » Chris, I never sleep in my reading chair. LOL
|
|
Jim Watters « Tue Nov 16, 2010 4:39 am » Mommy, where's fluffy?
|
|
Jim Watters « Sat Nov 13, 2010 5:24 pm » We will talk particle physics, cosmology, and math all day, as they could be programmed in such. They could teach me stuff that I don't know yet. You know the real women on the forum think this conversation is getting naughty and perverse.
|
|
Jim Watters « Sat Nov 13, 2010 4:35 pm » Thank's PC. I'll take two please: brunette and blond. Thank you, drive thru.
|
|
froglipz « Sat Nov 13, 2010 3:21 pm » I know I have the same issue, wimp.com kills me!
|
|
President Camacho « Sat Nov 13, 2010 10:01 am » Jim, I think I solved your problem dude. Every time Johnson posts about wimp.com I spend about 30 minutes looking at videos
|
|
Chris OConnor « Fri Nov 12, 2010 10:31 pm » I'm going to put Sam Harris's "The End of Faith" out of the Archives seeing as several people want to read and discuss it again.
|
|
Jim Watters « Fri Nov 12, 2010 3:48 pm » I second not talking about religion so much. I get it already.
|
|
President Camacho « Fri Nov 12, 2010 11:25 am » i cant discuss religion sensibly. To form a rational debate against the irrational seems like a waste of time. I don't mean to knock others at all. I really want to participate but I can't.
|
Jim Watters « Tue Nov 09, 2010 6:23 pm » You're welcome. At least we didn't have to adjust space-time. 
|
Jim Watters « Mon Nov 08, 2010 2:47 pm » What were you thinking? 
|
|
Jim Watters « Mon Nov 08, 2010 1:35 pm » Set their Daylight Savings setting Chris.
|
|
Chris OConnor « Mon Nov 08, 2010 11:05 am » Huh? Do what manually?
|
|
froglipz « Mon Nov 08, 2010 10:58 am » everyone has to do that manually?
|
|
Chris OConnor « Mon Nov 08, 2010 12:21 am » Please check out the new thread in the "Atheism & Freethought" forum pertaining to Pastor Joe Coffey!
|
|
Jim Watters « Sun Nov 07, 2010 10:59 pm » Have you noticed the time change has not been implemented on the forum's server?
|
|
Chris OConnor « Sat Nov 06, 2010 6:15 pm » Thanks Interbane! I just received the donation for the Cleveland Christian Home Xmas presents!!! I thank you for the kids.
|
|
Chris OConnor « Sat Nov 06, 2010 10:54 am » Thank you so much Stahrwe and Dexter for donating to our fund for Christmas presents for kids at the Cleveland Christian Home! If anyone else would like to pitch in and make a difference in these kids lives check out the right sidebar.
|
|
Jim Watters « Fri Nov 05, 2010 7:15 pm » Um, make that 4 websites now. Ping-backs.

Chris OConnor « Fri Nov 05, 2010 11:33 am » Hey Iluvbookz13! We've missed you. Where have you been?
|
|
Iluvbookz13 « Fri Nov 05, 2010 12:23 am » hey chris! been a while!
|
Jim Watters « Thu Nov 04, 2010 3:21 pm » Oh. OK, thanks. Get well soon! The flu seems to be going around. 
|
|
lindad_amato « Thu Nov 04, 2010 2:33 pm » Jim, just saying Skipper's is fun and not phony. Sorry didn't get back to u sooner. Have pneumonia
|
|
Jim Watters « Tue Nov 02, 2010 11:44 pm » Yeah. Scientology is a scam and they should know it. Tom Cruise is a nut job to the extreme unless he's making money off it.
|
|
Jim Watters « Tue Nov 02, 2010 11:32 pm » So Kirstie Alley, Tom Cruise, Priscilla Presley, John Travolta, and Greta Van Susteren are a bunch of morons? No?!
|
|
Chris OConnor « Tue Nov 02, 2010 11:25 pm » L. Ron Hubbard was a scumbag, mediocre science-fiction writer, and generally a bad person. I don't like anything about L. Ron Hubbard, his writing, or Scientology. Anyone who purposely creates a religion to get rich and take advantage of stupid people deserves bad things done to them.
|
|
Jim Watters « Tue Nov 02, 2010 10:58 pm » LOL! Why would you throw it? I thought you liked it? Or were you telling me Thursday that was the worst L. Ron Hubbard book you read? I downloaded the PDF from the site.
|
|
Chris OConnor « Tue Nov 02, 2010 10:09 pm » I actually own that book in print and would LOVE to either give it to you or throw it off the Skyway Bridge.
|
|
Chris OConnor « Tue Nov 02, 2010 8:42 pm » Please consider donating a few dollars for the kids at the Cleveland Christian Home. Without donations most of these kids will have no Christmas presents on Christmas morning. I know. I used to live there. Check out the link in the right sidebar for more information.
|
|
Chris OConnor « Tue Nov 02, 2010 8:25 pm » When not discussing books we discuss religion and politics and every topic you were always warned not to discuss at the dinner table.
|
|
Jim Watters « Tue Nov 02, 2010 8:12 pm » I thought it was about books. But I am playing "We are the Champions"
|
|
Chris OConnor « Tue Nov 02, 2010 8:10 pm » Well, Jim, that is actually our main focus here on BookTalk.org. LOL
|
|
Jim Watters « Tue Nov 02, 2010 8:08 pm » No offence PC. Politics & Religion really shouldn't be discussed on a forum.
|
|
Chris OConnor « Tue Nov 02, 2010 6:26 pm » I remember which party caused the mortgage meltdown by forcing lenders to approve unqualified buyers for mortgages they could not afford. I remember.
|
|
President Camacho « Tue Nov 02, 2010 6:01 pm » budget surplus turned DEFICIT! 'nuff said.
|
|
President Camacho « Tue Nov 02, 2010 5:33 pm » all this tea bagger stuff is a bunch of nonsense
|
|
Jim Watters « Tue Nov 02, 2010 5:11 pm » Corrections: Most Favored Trading Nation status, and CNR = CRA
|
|
Jim Watters « Tue Nov 02, 2010 5:09 pm » President Clinton setup two time bombs before he left office: #1 An expansion of the Community Reinvestment Act, and #2 Giving China a Most Favored Trading Nation. The CNR ultimately caused the stock market and banks to collapse, while our jobs went overseas.
|
|
Jim Watters « Tue Nov 02, 2010 4:37 pm » I'm an almond with wasabi and soy sause. Look up Community Reinvestment Act, read about Fannie and Fredie, read about ACORN and George Soros, look at the $800 Billion Stimulus package, and the hundreds of Billions after that, look at Obama's radical appointments who are self proclaimed Communists, look at unemployment, look at the government getting into our personal lives via Obamacare with the vast majority of Americans were strongly against, look at the lack of hope and change, while Obama has no clue what to do because he's so used to getting what he wants and has never had a real job, look at the racial tension despite him being elected, look at how the Middle East is getting even worse, and look forward to massive tax increases down the road.
|
|
President Camacho « Tue Nov 02, 2010 3:39 pm » I'm gunna go vote. I'll be back on later. I know these nut jobs are going to be out there with their little tea bags full of arsenic trying to destroy my country voting...
|
|
President Camacho « Tue Nov 02, 2010 3:36 pm » I remember depressed wages and social services
|
|
President Camacho « Tue Nov 02, 2010 3:35 pm » I remember who gave money to huge corporations before ever considering those who were losing their homes
|
|
President Camacho « Tue Nov 02, 2010 3:35 pm » I remember who started tarp to bail out big business
|
|
President Camacho « Tue Nov 02, 2010 3:34 pm » the unilateral decisions, the squashing of science and logic, and the world wide turmoil
|
|
President Camacho « Tue Nov 02, 2010 3:33 pm » I remember the gas crisis, mortgage melt down, the crusades, tax breaks for the super rich, and wanting to privatize social security when the stock market was in the dumps
|
|
President Camacho « Tue Nov 02, 2010 3:31 pm » Life under Bush completely trashed our way of life and now there's this fervor to return to that
|
|
Chris OConnor « Tue Nov 02, 2010 3:30 pm » What are you talking about, President Camacho?
|
|
President Camacho « Tue Nov 02, 2010 3:22 pm » I can't stand it when people don't want you to be their cheerleader. Why would I find anything but contempt for someone trying to escort me off a cliff - promising me I'm going to the promised land
|
|
geo « Tue Nov 02, 2010 10:54 am » We passed out about 70 candy bars this year. More trick-or-treaters than usual.
|
|
Chris OConnor « Mon Nov 01, 2010 9:27 pm » My wife and I passed out a lot of candy. Our neighborhood doesn't get enough Trick-or-Treaters unfortunately. We love to see the kids dressed up each year.
|
Jim Watters « Mon Nov 01, 2010 8:31 pm » Let me know how the trig test went today froglipz.  I spent the weekend and today doing a ton of chores for my parents. I sort of napped while my Mom passed out candy and the dog barked over and over.
|
|
froglipz « Mon Nov 01, 2010 7:41 pm » "my" not "ny" heh
|
|
froglipz « Mon Nov 01, 2010 7:40 pm » I watched "ny" pats beat "our" Vinking and worked on trig well into the night
|
|
Genocide « Mon Nov 01, 2010 7:24 pm » Hahahah, that's really cute. There were a lot of kids trick or treating at my school because the students put on a haunted house for them. We then went to a foam rave.... never again.
|
|
wilde « Mon Nov 01, 2010 2:19 pm » and there was one Luigi and i think i gave him like 5 pieces. his costume was too adorable
|
|
wilde « Mon Nov 01, 2010 2:18 pm » most kids got 2 pieces, people with no costumes got 1 piece and "the look", and people going as superheroes got 3 because superhero costumes are the best
|
|
wilde « Mon Nov 01, 2010 2:18 pm » i passed out candy

Genocide « Mon Nov 01, 2010 6:41 am » What did you guys do for Halloween??

Jim Watters « Fri Oct 29, 2010 8:04 pm » I am (currently) too poor to go to Skipper's. Are you saying that nice single women go to Skipper's?
