Yes, I can, but does the average worker have the same access through their company? I doubt it. And I know for a fact that schools don't inquire whether internet is available before placing programs online, or assigning homework that requires it.

They're not doing it to help people get to see the drive in movies, lol. When states give anything, it's considered an investment, one that will pay off by helping someone become self sufficient. That's a smart way to do it, if it works.

Half those on food stamps are children. Not sure 'gutted' is how I'd phrase it - what I read is that numerous governors requested the change to welfare rules, they wanted more flexibility, because they actually run the programs. If welfare pays more than minimum wage jobs, I'd say that's a...

The article says they're offering it in NH - that doesn't do anything for the other 49 states. [And $150 for a computer may as well be 150 million, when you don't have it.] But the fact is school and jobs often require internet now, and the library is not a good fall back, like it used to be...

No - it just makes one even more appreciative, is all. Speaking of FedEx, I just saw an ad for power units to pull company owned reefers, it said you will go straight into White Glove. I bet that makes a lot of people [besides ATeam] angry. Accepting people with no track record into an 'elite'...

So, is the Load 1 lounge [which is almost as nice as in the photo] been ruined in the 3 years since it was created? Last time I peeked in, it still looked pretty nice.

Haha - one ******* does not a convincing case make. [Especially from the Daily Mail!] Sure, he eats lobster, but it doesn't mention the other 29 or 30 days a month. $200 for one person isn't buying food all month, even if one is extremely careful about it. What about the military personnel on...

Almost forgot: I asked the one person I know who doesn't want children: my younger daughter, about the reactions she gets when people hear her say that. She said almost everyone assures her that she will change her mind [she's 23], as if she doesn't know her own mind, or is making the wrong...

I didn't say 'calming' [art can have the opposite effect, lol] I said 'civilizing'. Enriching, like reading literature instead of comic books. Looking at paintings, instead of porn. [When they are materially different, which isn't always the case.] Listening to classical, instead of rap. [That...

You think Democrats want people to think Republicans are a bunch of old white racist men who are greedy and want dirty air and dirty water? [You forgot: patronize women!] I think those who see Republicans as guilty of those personality traits are those who watch what they [politicians] do, not...

I repeat: it was the conservatives [particularly the Tea Party] that pushed PP into the limelight of politics. I was a client for many years before that happened, so I know that their core mission hasn't changed, but they've been forced to respond to the many 'defunding' efforts and attacks...

The argument is that the arts, like parks, wilderness, & libraries, have a civilizing effect upon people, and it's in our collective best interest to encourage that. Do you disagree?

Almost 30000 posts [as opposed to RLENT's less than 7000 & my less than 10000] says that's a lie.

Breaking Down Centi-Millionaire 'Papa' John Schnatter's Obamacare Math - Forbes [I figured you'd just dismiss the article on Huffpost, lol, but there's plenty to choose from.] Why does it not seem believable that CEOs will jump on any excuse to defend raising prices, hiring fewer people...

There were several comments referring to having seen it - that's all I know. Planned Parenthood never intended nor wanted to be any part of politics. It was conservatives who dragged it in, because they object to abortion, and contraceptives, and effective sex education. All of which combines to...

Would it be possible for you to resist the temptation to jump into a serious discussion with utter nonsense? Because it is really, really RUDE. If you have nothing to say, DON'T SAY IT. Thank you.

"Science would have you believe that a handful of monkey's [sic] climbed to the top, and now possess the right to control everything"? No, that's not even close to what science would have me believe. Men, OTOH, would have me believe that because they are physically stronger, they have a natural...

And as usual, someone who has nothing to say [nothing on topic, anyway] WILL derail it. How dare we have a conversation in which thoughts are expressed and debated in a grown up manner?! And nobody points out how terrible Obama is?! And there's absolutely zero puerile humor?! No - somebody won't...

I'll try it [maybe a pen - don't have any chopsticks handy], but if a product that was designed to work when touched with a finger doesn't, I wouldn't call it "great", exactly. I'd call it a failure. PS The cold isn't the issue with mine, because it doesn't respond even when it's warm. And it...

Per the 'pay it forward' rules, you have to post something you screwed up now, so I can learn from your mistake, lol. ;) PS: I do like the new mirrors better, they have LED lights!
