QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 26, 2007 -> 12:17 PM) Robert Palmer?!?? I guess I'm just not up on his post-Zeppelin solo stuff. . . Big Strong Man (My Brother Sylveste - Irish Trad.) Have you heard about the big strong man? He lived in a caravan. Have you heard about the Jeffrey Johnson fight? Oh, Lord what a hell of a fight. You can take all of the heavyweights you've got. We've got a lad that can beat the whole lot. He used to ring bells in the belfry, Now he's gonna fight Jack Demspey. Next: Vampires Plant, Palmer, what's the dif? Maybe I'll find something by Emerson, Lake, and Plant next

These are tough laws. I see the need, at times, and other times it seems wrong.

QUOTE(BigEdWalsh @ Oct 26, 2007 -> 11:05 AM) Yep. In fact, the Andrews Sisters did a version. I think Bette Midler did too. I can only think of Robert Palmer I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood for a melody Next topic: Big Guys

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Oct 26, 2007 -> 10:33 AM) kids > pets > kids' stuff Unless your house is literally on fire I can't imagine someone just saying "just leave the dogs". I can't either, but if the rescue crews are there evacuating you, I can't see staying and trying to find the cat. I can't see risking anyone's life for a pet. But some do put human life and animal life on the same level.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Oct 26, 2007 -> 06:37 AM) Man boobs can't be seen on television but damnit if it isn't seen as a good and patriotic mission by a man of God for the US to send in the military to fight and die in a grisly foreign war in far off lands in the Middle East. It always boggles my mind that many (not all but the vast majority) of the people who want decency in TV, movies, video games etc. somehow conveniently miss the fact that they also promote actual warfare compared to pixelated and controlled (i.e. wrestling) violence and indecency. The level of necessity differentiates going to war and entertainment. It is a bad analogy, and I'm a little surprised you would have used it.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 25, 2007 -> 08:41 AM) If they want to do something about decency on TV, they could cancel 90% of the crap that is on the air right now!

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Oct 26, 2007 -> 10:25 AM) No doubt. We don't have any kids, so our dog would be priority #1, actually. F*ck everything else (clothing, material items, etc). How anyone could think otherwise is beyond me. Your kids become the bigger priority and their needs. When you are chasing around finding their stuff and making certain they are out of danger, the pets come second.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 26, 2007 -> 09:45 AM) Perhaps a Paul/Colbert ticket? Interesting.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 26, 2007 -> 09:54 AM) I have no problem with that assessment of ELF. Like I said, it was just an example... And with a little time we kind find all sorts of examples. The firtst example I could think of was the Pro-Lifers that kill in the name of saving lives.

QUOTE(BigEdWalsh @ Oct 26, 2007 -> 09:24 AM) As much as I hate the Red Sox and especially their fandom, it's not to the same level of contempt that I have for the Yankees and the Flubs and their stupid fans. I have tried to pull for the Rockies but it just doesn't work. It's not real. I'm American League through and through and deep down, I'm glad to see the American League dominate. I think the league allegiance thing will die with our generation. Interleague play, the internet, satellite TV, mlb-TV, all kind of chip away at those old allegiances.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 26, 2007 -> 08:54 AM) Ann Coulter of the left... except a little less hate, and a little more valley-girl grammar. Neither are worth our time or concern. Never heard of her, but from that sample, I'd concur.

I really get annoyed when presumably healthy people use the handicap parking permits. Found a site that does something about it. http://www.handicappedfraud.org/ I guess they have been all over the news lately.

OMG. Wait until the fire is out and the investigation begins to speculate how and why.

I remember with Katrina some people criticized people for valuing animal lives ahead of humans. The animals took up space in rescue vehicles, the sanitation issues at shelters, rescue workers wind up dealing with the animals during the rescue, etc. I think it depends on where you are evacuating to, each situation is different. Sad when people have to make choices like that. I'd never want to leave a pet behind.

(mixing threads) When I read stuff like this, I think, that's corruption. That is why I find it hard to call our government corrupt.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 25, 2007 -> 03:28 PM) It's corrupt in different ways. People are paying bribes all the time. Tell me why it is you have to make a $1000 campaign contribution as a business (read: PAC) to get access to the government officials? Think about it. You pay to gain the proper access. It's not blatent corruption, but it is corrupt none the less. Look around the globe. Look at Mexico ten years ago. The UN. To call a government corrupt, IMHO, illegal transactions would be the norm, not the exception. People would not be convicted, let alone, charged for bribery, etc. The public would somewhat accept the officials as dishonest. You start walking the halls from congress to your local school board and pass out bribes. I'll bet a tiny percentage would accept them. It is not as clean as anyone would like, but it falls way short of what I would call corrupt.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 25, 2007 -> 03:10 PM) The government's not stupid. It's corrupt. There's a difference. No sir. There may be a few corrupt individuals in our government, the government as a whole, is not corrupt. When was the last time you paid a bribe to get a driver's license? Building permit? When was the last time a cop shook you down? Sorry Kap, I have to call a crap on that one.
