So homesick right now.

Many of my Mexican friends kiss their kids on the lips. No big deal from what I see.

QUOTE(Mercy! @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 09:20 AM) Every time this subject comes up, I feel the necessity to state the obvious. Get Rid of Your Cars! Walk. Ride Bicycles. Take public transportation. Put your feet where your mouths presently are. We all make choices in our lives. YOU have chosen to live a life that requires you to own vehicles which run on petroleum products. What has anyone here done besides complain about gasoline prices? What concrete steps have you taken? My job requires internal combustion. No way around it. I try and be fuel efficient. But even if you stop driving, your food, everything you buy at a store, your electricity, your natural gas, all are affected by oil prices. Businesses need to drive to thrive. When transportation costs rise, you will see it when you check out at the local megaMart. And if you are shopping at small mom and pop stores in the neighborhood, you are paying it in higher retail prices because the megaMarts get much better wholesale prices.

I'm a closet lesbian. I love women. Always want to be with women. If all the guys are hanging out together, I'm with the ladies. I never look at guys, always the ladies.

He should be judged by his peers, other conservative, white, republicans, from Texas. Get all these Dems out of the process, they are biased.

Didn't we say and do basically the same thing with Iraq? We called for Iraq's distruction, the difference is we'll spend billions of dollars destroying and billions of dollars rebuilding.

Now if they mixed up quotes of Ozzies, that would have been a big problem

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 01:44 PM) Sigh Oil companies dont set the price of their product..........the oil traders in the pits at the NYMEX do. You knew that. Sigh, the oil companies have an impact on the selling price of gasoline? So the oil companies have no control over their profits? Their profits are determined in the pits? No matter how they run their business, their profits and ultimately our retail price is "fixed"? Wrong Nuke. Their wholesale price of raw materials may be determined, but their efficiencies and price they sell the refined product for is a major factor in their profits. If only we had a President who understood the oil industry, maybe has some friend in the oil industry. Then this stuff would never have happened. Towards the earlier comment about increases in retail while the inventory was bought at a lower price. Let's look at the other side of decreases. Gas just dropped to under $2.00 here. If a store had $2.50 gas in their tanks and needed to sell it out before lowering, they would be out of business. Those that have not resupplied are losing on the rest of their storage tanks, but we all know they won months ago when prices went up. That's the game. Plus, at least for one chain down here that I am familiar with, on a retail level, they make way more money on food and sundries, than on fuel. They are happy if they can make a small profit on the gas.

Congratulations on your first thread start. I'm betting you'll improve from here. BTW, you could have dropped this nicely in the Sex, Lies, and Politics Forum "Catch All Anything Thread", which is pinned for your pleasure at the top.

Environmental Science was the MB. My current Troop started because of a similar Scoutmaster moment. He basically handed his son an Eagle medal. The dad was literally an all-world Scouter. International Scouting, author of merit badge books, a very decent guy, but he had a son that had "issues", hated Scouting, and was so openly defiant it defies description. I don't think dad could handle it. We started this Troop in 2000 and have fluctuated between 15 and 35 Scouts. We just spun off a Venturing Crew, which is a BSA program for young men and ladies 14-21. Very cool dynamics and I'm enjoying challenging this age group. Great group of kids. They all asked me why I was at the meeting last night instead of in front of the TV watching the White Sox. That included Astros, Red Sox, and Yankee fans.

Glad to see you trust the government to kill citizens. Equally interesting that we used Iraq's use of the death penalty as justification to take over their country. I don't trust our justice system enough to allow humans to be put to death. There have been too many mistakes both in innocent people being found guilty and guilty people going free. It isn't a deterrent, doesn't save money, doesn't bring back the victims.

Frank has it.
