QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Nov 4, 2009 -> 12:03 PM) This morning at around 830, someone walked into my apartment, popped the lock on the door to my room then walked in saw me sleeping and ran. I woke up when the lock popped to my room but didnt want to believe what was happening. Then i walked out after I heard him run. My other roommate woke up too and heard it all. Thank God i was there, otherwise he could've walked away with a ton of stuff. That was scary. All because my roommate forgot to lock the front door last night. Apparently he robbed somebody else in our building too. That happens way to often on and around campuses.

waiting to avoid the X

unless you are the lucky one

simply a great scene from Deer Hunter, but beer hunter is less lethal

my thoughts were you meant FlaSoxxJim.

Kansas -- not on my list

also, "pools" of paint are not a good idea. They do not stick as well as many lighter layers.

I just realized there are no female solo artists on my list and Fleetwood Mac is probably the onlyt group with females I added

Heart was not on my list. But would make a girl band list

The only two entities guaranteed to spend every dime they have, governments and kids. Put money in their hands and instant stimulus.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 4, 2009 -> 04:35 PM) Bastard! certainly

Between Animals, ABBA, Aerosmith One made my list

Y did a post disappear? So I wouldn't look senile. The evil post deleter stayed in order

X marks the spot in my top ten for The Who

Velvet Underground just missed my top 20

Yes did not make my list, but I wish they did

In theory, California is ultimately saving taxpayers money by not having those same taxpayers paying interest to whomever Cal would borrow from. The difference is the taxpayers (voters) get to see it. If lawmakers borrowed from another source, chances are no one would know, or care. So for transparency in government fans, this is probably a nice touch. Better, why not cut back on spending, which is basically what they are asking some taxpayers to do.

very true

Summer is over, I had to wear long pants today.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Nov 4, 2009 -> 02:50 PM) Well I don't think schools have any "right" to punish kids for what they do outside of school. That's just going too far and infringing on their personal lives. Sheesh, there's way too many people who "follow the rules" on this site. Entitled to everything with no responsibility for their actions?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 4, 2009 -> 02:50 PM) Its been that way for a while now. yep, and each side seems to get better and better at it while we lose.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 4, 2009 -> 02:21 PM) Because the administration can't point to the economy improving when unemployment is still getting worse. Jobs saved gives them a chance to say that it could be much worse, but we did all of this and saved X. Jobs is one part of the economy. Wages another. Remember Bush playing that game. We lost high dollar jobs and gained low paying service sector jobs. Regardless if it looks good or bad to whomever, whenever you are turning something around, the first order of business is slowing down to a stop, then turning around. But in today's climate it seems to be far more important to make "your party" look good or the "other party" to look bad. Solutions and progress, actual or perceived, be dammed.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 4, 2009 -> 02:17 PM) Doesn't this thread answer your question? It gives the Administration an easy bullet point to beat the media with (650,000 jobs!) It gives the Administration's opponents an easy bullet point to beat the Admin. with. (Do some better math!) Everyone's happy, especially the people who aren't out of work. That only works if the public accepts the number.
