QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 27, 2007 -> 11:04 AM) I liked 'Last Kiss' more and more each time I watched it. There's not one likeable character in Last Kiss. There were likeable actors, but the characters were pathetic.

I guess you had to hear the interview, it all sounds good until someone gives you the so why should I vote for you question. They aren't picking a candidate until June '08... until then they just want to know "What the people want".

bandwagon?

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Aug 25, 2007 -> 03:30 PM) It was just an interesting thought to me because he may just mean that recent immigrants are not keeping the neighborhoods in the type of condition that more-established (over many generations), better-off residents do, but it made me wonder how it compares to those other waves of first-generation immigrants he mentions. Now, personally, I don't claim to know exactly how those neighborhoods were because I was not alive to see it when past first-generation immigrants inhabited (or were forced into) certain neighborhoods, but I wonder if it was similar, better, or possibly even worse to current situations... With some research, I'm sure this could be at least put into some perspective. I don't know if they keep records for things like "how many McDonald's bags found per sq/mile" but the overall mentality of this generation's waste problems are probably not the same as previous generations...but then again, I remember hearing stories in History class about the state of some of the NYC ghettos during the drepression, etc. and simple laziness of people. I would believe that culture has something to do with it as well. It's not appropriate in a New England town to leave a vehicle on cinder blocks in the front yard as it might be more acceptable in say, east Texas. I would say that it's probably more about the percentage of immigrant parents. For instance, I would think a high percentage of immigrant families encouraged their kids in 1907 to get an education, make the most of themselves, and learn from the american culture than 2007. This again, it notwithstanding. Many immigrants parents and grandparents enforce a "native-tongue" only policy at home to help balance the onslaught of popular culture now as they did in 1907.

Unity '08.com NPR had CEO Robert Bingham on this morning. This election season's Moveon.org? I think I believe in the principle, but at the end of the day you have to stand for SOMETHING, right?

Foxnews was saying this wasn't true.

Nervous, itchy, shaky, and I swear I saw gnomes. It says it's only 69 mg of caffeine (jolt cola is 220)...but hell if that didn't feel like 1k mg.

Holy Shiite. I'm having an episode from the diet Pepsi Max I just drank.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 24, 2007 -> 03:33 PM) Knowing this board, I'd say we all took different morals from different stories here. I was being 85% facecious, however, I stand by the comment. One side needs to recognize the greater culture that they are entering and the other needs to be sensitive and understanding of the learning curve of the newly arrived migrants; perhaps even learning a bit about the emerging culture.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 24, 2007 -> 03:21 PM) We're straying into dangerous territory here. Let's try to avoid the racism, shall we? And I agree with Pratt (wow), those groups that Yossarian mentions were looked at the same way as each one marched into a neighborhood. Something was seen about them that was detestable to someon else. so, the moral of the story is..... Don't be a jackass in a country that you weren't born in?

because we need to celebrate...

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 05:24 PM) You people crack me the hell up. That "picture" was a political stunt and is still talked about all over the place (which is what led it to being in a stupid email circulating around the internet in the first place), but now, it's nothing - it didn't mean anything or really ever happen. Whatever. "As long as it supports your gal". woahhhhhh....."You people" ?!?!?!?!

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 05:17 PM) Why do you not believe him? There is a difference between knowing there is a chance, and knowing it would happen. He owns the mine. He's trying to make $$. He called the mountain evil. He said it was alive. Maybe it's not a matter of believing him as much as thinking he's a crazy bastard. Now if he has regrets because safety was overlooked for $$, I might understand his comments.
