This is a situation that I feel tense about, not for what North Korea is doing but rather for the response that we may do. I feel like this may be seen as a provocation that it really isn't.

C'est seulement une autre raison de ne jamais visiter Philadelphia.

All loathing aside, this is a fairly accurate critique of France's shortcomings in the post colonial age. A big part of the problem that people saw in urban areas is a result of decades of thinly veiled racist policy on behalf of the French government. Many of the new states that France released on its own are financially controlled and dependent on France. Many central banks in Africa can actually have its decisions overruled by the French government, which often controls up to half of the votes in the body.

Schlitz Ice. It was liquified burnt hops. I swear. Schlitz is a close second to me. The only beer I ever bought for less than 3 dollars a 12 pack in 1997. And, the only beer that tastes better warm. PBR is just 2 dollars and the only beer on draft here.

Girls, you're all pretty. This thread is closed.

Well, then maybe you should accept the Flying Spaghetti Monster as your savior.

Most media personalities' donations appear to be relatively minimal. And its funny because the people who report the news seem to often have a different donation history than the people who pay for the people who report the news. Greta donates to Dems, Roger Ailes doesn't for example.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 19, 2006 -> 03:03 PM) No, there won't. Not from the federal government. Because unlike Louisiana, we can handle it, thank you. You forgot that unlike Louisiana, you're also above sea level.

Where did Paul McCartney and John Lennon meet? Answer At a church picnic. It can't be a coincidence that my first fathers day and Paul McCartney's 64th birthday fall on the sameday, can it? Once there was a way, to get back homeward, Once there was a way, to get back home Sleep pretty darling do not cry, and I will sing a lullaby, Golden slumbers fill your eyes, smiles awake you when you rise Sleep pretty darling do not cry, and I will sing a lullaby Once there was a way, to get back homeward, Once there was a way, to get back home Sleep pretty darling do not cry, and I will sing a lullaby Yoko Ono = underrated.

True Southsider, I was a good looking baby. Oh you meant your daughter! She's cute too

Welcome and stuff.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 06:39 PM) See this is what gets me really angry with people on your side. Anytime we do something YOU find distasteful you resort to namecalling and other vile invective because you cant change their minds and get them to vote for someone you find palatable. You have the balls to sit there and complain about me calling certain people leftists but then 2 posts later you label more than half the electorate stupid. Give me a f***ing break. Hypocrite. If you think that over half the electorate actually makes their decision on who to vote for solely based on how a Senator voted over an amendment about flag burning, you are stupid. If you think that gay marriage is on the average voter's radar, before its brought up for a vote as a constitutional amendment, you are stupid. Or maybe its me that's stupid. Maybe its just me that thinks that the average voter might be more concerned with what's in his wallet at the end of the day, how he can afford his life, whether or not he feels safe and secure and whether or not he feels that his elected official acts lawfully. Maybe I think, stupidly, that there are about 100 other things that are more important to the average voter than flagburning. And for the record, I didn't complain about you calling someone a leftist. I just said it was tired and boring. I don't even find the word an insult, because I'm proud to be one.

You're right I disagree with it. I disagree with anything that codifies a further restriction on our bill of rights within the constitution. I'm a firm believer in freedom - even the freedoms that I find distasteful. Because I find restricting the right to dissent - even if its in a mind-numbingly boring and stupid way to do so - as long as its done in a safe manner, not putting the physical lives of those around them at risk, completely UnAmerican. And pointless. A constitutional amendment isn't going to stop flag burnings. Just like it isn't going to stop gay marriage. It's stupid boilerplate set to dupe stupid people into voting for poor candidates who can't get their vote any other way than making them feel at risk, under attack or in crisis.

Steven Colbert? Really?

So Howard is streaming for free?

That's everywhere these days. I blame the Tribune company.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 03:52 PM) To my favorite Beatle ITS MY BIRTHDAY TOO YEAH!!! You're wrong about politics AND your favorite Beatle! Happy birthday and whatever Sir Paul. I'm sure Yoko would love to give you a birthday hug.

He meant Newark.

Nuke, if you want to talk about typical - almost every reaction with people who disagree with you on this forum is the same, you just call them a typical leftist. Well, that's fine, we here on the left are happy to welcome anyone who's interested in protecting the expression rights of any and all citizens. A typical leftist response by the way, would and should be - Why are all these "conservative" people who supposedly run our government so eager to amend our constitution for just about every little thing? Probably because what they want to do won't stand up in court - because what they want to do is contrary to the letter and spirit of the constitution. So rather than take a good look at themselves and realize that maybe their priorities need a change, they just figure the guiding document of our society is what needs changed.

I'm performing (guitar/singing) live in front of an audience for the first time ever tonight. It's just an open mike night and I'm still nervous. I'll be performing under the pseudonym of "Stereo Mic"
