    Sen. Ted Stevens Vindicated

    It's like when someone says, "I don't care what you think of me." That that they took the time to say it, screams that they in fact, do. He still hasn't answered my question. It's an answer that should come quickly, but it's not. He's having to think about his answer. That's pretty funny.

    My joke too colourful?

    "Tiger just said that he's happy with the way he hit the ball today. Does that smooth out any racial tension? Oh... Wait a minute... The ball's white." and "Sorry you felt that way.. I'd ask you to "lighten" up a bit...but that these days could be a racist comment as well..." That's...

    Pirates

    You mean where the Marines stormed and recaptured an empty ship, and several US military personnel were killed trying to attack a military base in order to rescue hostages that had already been freed? Yeah, that was awesome. Almost as awesome as Carter's helicopter raid to free the hostages in...

    Sen. Ted Stevens Vindicated

    That's not an answer. He was referred to in many ways other than as Barry when he was growing up, and in any case, he's no longer a kid. I repeat the question to you... Why do you constantly refer to the President of the Unites States as "Barry?" One, "let it go a bit"? This is hardly an issue...

    My joke too colourful?

    Otherwise, no one will know not do make the same mistake again. Most jokes are pretty tasteless, but this one really wasn't. Obama being black was but one small part of the overall joke, and a pretty minor part at that. A road closure for something stupid was the meat and potatoes of the joke...

    Generally speaking, your comments are non-comments. They, more often than not, consists of that amounts to, "I agree with this! Yeah, baby! The Nicks Rule!" There's no thought or analysis behind your "comments", nothing to spark conversation or debate. You post meaningless drivel so that...

    What a surprise....

    Read the first link especially. A very small number of banks control a very large percentage of the money.

    Pirates

    Re: Pirates! HOW TO HANDLE IT? Wow, the assumptions, and recommendations to be found in this thread are at best silly, and at worst just stoopid. For one, it's not a rubber raft. It's a seaworthy tender, with a cabin and everything, en enclosed lifeboat made of reinforced fiberglass that hold...

    What a surprise....

    There are lots of banks that didn't stupidly invest in the subpime mortgages unless the terms met their criteria for lending. Most of those are smaller banks, but a few of them, like Wells Fargo, are large. http://www.twincities.com/ci_12050513?nclick_check=1 Banks are now eager to repay TARP...

    My joke too colourful?

    Absolutely, and it's not an easy job. Of course you can, especially since whoever deleted this thread did so without taking responsibility for it. They've used their own personal views on something to influence everyone else, and did so by stealth. If they feel they are right in the matter, they...

    You left out the part about where he ALSO added his own personal comments about the issue, which is the whole point of all this. Without adding the comments, it's nothing more than selective aggregating of propaganda.

    My joke too colourful?

    And after further review, according to the rules, it's supposed to be put back where it was, or a note left behind in it's place explaining it's deletion or any edits that a moderator made. According to the rules, each individual post that was moved, and thus deleted, should have its own note...

    The Democrats pull this kind of crap all the time. And the conservatives whine. The Republicans pull this kind of crap all the time. And the liberals whine.

    My joke too colourful?

    It wasn't removed, it says it was MOVED. I'm assuming it was MOVED to a more appropriate forum, but for the life of me I cannot fathom a more appropriate forum for it. That joke didn't even begin to come even remotely close to violating the Code of Conduct. The four people currently on the...

    thinking about getting into expediting

    No, not the piano teacher. But Nancy, ah, Nancy, she works in a dress shop... and she makes sounds like a chipmunk when she gets really excited. It's true.

    Felons commit over 90 percent of murders, More Gun Control Needed??

    The weapon of choice for murder in the kitchen is a kitchen knife. Very few suicides in Japan are carried out with guns. Japan does not allow guns. Japan has the highest suicide rate in the world.

    That's at least 90% true. :D

    Felons commit over 90 percent of murders, More Gun Control Needed??

    While I agree with the article, looking at the numbers and they way they are presented, there seems to be a clear remedy for murders. Or, at least more than 90% of them, anyway. If 90% of murderers have a previous felony conviction, then anyone who is convicted of a felony should be sentenced to...

    Give me some numbers!!!!please!

    His truthful answer is exceedingly irresponsible advice when he says it's the same ol' song and dance with business being bad. It's bad, and that's not a sing and dance. Cursory research with brokers and carriers and even the financial section of the newspaper should make it clear that business...
