E-rock

My co-worker witnessed a guy drive head first into the end of a guard rail on the interstate, and roll the vehicle multiple times into the ditch. By the time he had stopped to first-respond, the driver of the crashed vehicle was on his feet running away from the scene yelling "don't call the cops!".

I'm quite aware of all of the gender equality issues facing transexuals, and have no beef with their right to mutilate themselves, or compete in a stupid competition based on plastic surgery and an anesthetic sense of beauty. Converting male organs to female organs has nothing to do with gender equality, and poses a number of health risks for people who make such a change for the rest of their lives, aside from creating something that as a pussy-loving man, isn't in the least bit appealing. But whatever step-stool you need to get on that politically-correct high horse go ahead and use it. My initial comment was goofing on Bill.

Don't forget to add people born with a double-dose of genitalia to your list. But the real question, Rob, is: would you hit that?

Keenwesh, It's almost certain that the part that matters most is indeed gross. Bill, it's hot that she used to be male right? That means she's like more likely to hook up with you, cuz she's starting from a vastly-reduced pool of weirdo's, perverts, and drug addicts.

We got in trouble and shamed into behaving.

I'm just giving you spray-worthy ribbin'. No mean-spiritedness intended. Sincerely. Happy birthday.

Sobo, you scooped me, and my title was better. Happy birthday, KocksuckKojak

Killer! Looks like an awesome day out, Kurt!

Looks fantastic. What a great trip.

"USS Tonkin" Interesting.

TMI buddy. I was wondering if you'd make red meat of that one.

Nope. Back to sucking.

Until the pictures of elephants, this thread sucked.

Sol, Thanks for the link. Awesome - in its true meaning.

Anybody know if there's pics yet of the crown, or is weather still too crappy?

Studies on the negative affects of hitting don't differentiate between those who do it with love and those who do it with anger. The results are quite clear, it doesn't matter what thoughts are in your head, it doesn't work.

I haven't for a long time, which is why I only post in spray anymore, and drool over TR's in the freshiezone.

cynicalwoodsman, Sorry I don't have time for more thoughtful replies, but I empathize. I'm also from the Philly suburbs and moved "out west" when I was 18 to ski powder and "climb big mountains." After 10 years of that, I started to miss my family, and moved to Western New York near my wife's family, and a half-day's drive from home. I miss the mountains a lot, and don't get out as much as I'd want to. I've tried racing bikes to fill the void, but I've never been much of a competitive athlete, and I hate "training". There's no silver lining I can put on it, the ache never goes away. Actually re-reading your posts, it seems our situations are very similar. Met my wife at the end of grad school through her sister (a roommate in Seattle), and already afflicted with the ache of being away from people who truly love you for too many years, I chose to take a chance on a girl and find work where I am now. I've got a beautiful daughter, a great house, and the cost of living can't be beat. All-in-all, I just wish I could ski a 2,000' fall-line shot in 10" of fresh top-to-bottom every week, like I once did. I don't even miss the climbing so much. Sounds like you've done a much better job of staying on the horse than I have, but we go the 'Daks as much as we can, and I skied Mt. Washinton a couple weeks ago. All I can add, is make the move back to the mountains before you have kids.

I kinda dig this new condescending, yet lucid, posting style of Kevbone. Ron Paul has done wonders for his intellect.

Anybody who would defend this practice is beyond reason.

Pics, now!

Your point is not made since you didn't link a "study". So are you saying that most parents who hit their kids, at the moment of striking them, are completely cool and rational and have thought through exactly why they are hitting their child, what lesson they intend to teach, and the likelihood that it will be taught? Or, furthermore, that a child who is being hit can tell the difference between the hand that strikes them "for their own good" and the hand that strikes them out of abuse? And that the first type of punishment has a net positive effect, whereas the second type has a net negative?

All this is going to do in the end is keep the Jesus Freaks home in November. Obama in a Landslide.

Your web search returned one opinion piece - chock full of logical inconsistencies that doesn't cite original research, but instead cites a Fox News article that doesn't cite original research - in a right-wing propaganda rag. Color me convinced.
