and of course Rob, Looks can be deceiving

post of the day!

What are you people doing to the Canadian boarder guards? I travel in and out of Canada several times a year. They are always super nice to me. I got the full on violation/inspection when I returned to the US twice last year.

fixed it for ya

+1 for cruel sister

PW - I'm definitely a girl. I'm just not sure I've contributed anything valuable to the discussion. I am trying to find my occupy montreal pics though

Jay I like that table. apparently you need to work full time, be educated and preferably married to be in the upper quintiles. gee i'm stunned

i do believe that P-wookie has contributed.

thanks KKKKKK...i need a drink today. now about this hiring you're doing... i'm looking for more work. what are you hiring for?

i think p-wookie should go over to pink's house and hit him in the face. 8D

1) raising taxes helps the economy how? 2) the education system is all kinds of fucked up. what makes you think throwing more money at it is the answer? 3) social programs need to be cut. not entirely but even i, the advocate of the group hug, think we've gone to far. 4) i agree that infrastructure investment is important 5) i never thought we should bail out the bank ect. they should've failed. it would've been painful but so has the current situation 6) i don't think its jealousy of the rich. i think its a complex problem that people are trying to boil down to a catch phrase and that isn't going to happen. no i have no sympathy for the guy who might have to take his kids out of private school b/c he only made $350K. guess he should've saved some more of that money. however, i doesn't bother me that he made $350K.

i work for a small company, <20 people, i really like it but the pay is mediocre at best and the benefits are close to non-existant. if i did not have a generous X who continues to allow me to sponge off his health insurance, i would be forced to work for large company with better benefits. there are trade offs. i'm working on working for me and thus creating an even smaller business but hopefully i'll be able to pay myself enough to afford health insurance. there are pros and cons to corporate america. my sense of the occupy movement is that this is a group who doesn't respect the benefits that can come from working for a large corporation. they have other priorities. it is easy to villify corporations. there is some validity in many of the arguments. there are abuses and they should be addressed. however, i'm not sure i've heard a coherent argument for dealing with it from the occupy movement. ridding the country of large corporations is not going to happen. why all the vitriole against the rich people? isn't that what america is about? the opportunity to succeed to the highest level possible? so many government programs seem to be about ensuring that people can achieve the bare minimum standard of living (ie welfare). perhaps the focus should be on fostering an environment the encourages innovation, hardwork, and focus on achievment rather than making sure everyone gets by. if a corporation decides that paying people 20 million dollars to do their job then so be it. if the corporation is abusing loopholes in the system deal with that issue. if you're pissed b/c someone is getting paid an extraordinary amount of money, you're free to go develop skills and try and do that yourself. quit bitching about how much other people get paid.

i still say the funniest OWS thing i saw was the occupy Montreal folks camped outside of BMO last fall. really? Canadians come on...you've got health care.

Pinky is a momma's boy so there's no he's puttin her in a home. Put he makes a good point

Fixed it fer ya. You two keep it up and Minx is gonna spank us all..... oh come one now...have you seen my avatar? you have to say please to get a spanking from me. all kidding aside - there is a line between spanking and abuse. i'm not sure what it is. what's that line about porn and knowing it when you see it? my son received very few spankings. it was reserved for things that were really major and likely to kill him. i think maybe 4 of them. i'm sorry but there are some things for which a timeout is not sufficient. i had a similar discussion with a horseman that i respect a great deal. his take on it regarding horses was that it was definitely abuse if it was done to release anger or frustration it was abuse. if there was no potential for the horse learning anything but fear it was definitely abuse. obviously, i'm not comparing training a horse to raising a child.

KKKKK...lol excellent question. No...fortunately boise is on the breezy side and i drive a car. a fuel inefficient car. with AC and working heater so its not necessary to roll down the windows

Ivan nailed it! The boise occupiers...bwahahaha...are still there camped out at the capital. the problem is that they've been there a long time. i just noticed them again the other day but i hadn't noticed that they were still there in the previous umpteen times i've driven by recently. very effective protest that gets its point across right?

Are you volunteering to be an elder or VP?

Not here that's for sure. *sigh* The Romney victory in AZ and Michigan has me feeling very unsettled.

Chuck Norris better stay off my bridge!

Sobo I can't believe you're rolling your eyes. I think I'm hurt

Having shared a campsite with Sobo I can assure you that he looks just as goofy in person as he does in pictures

hmmm..i thinking fouton

yes. think cows and methane. people have been trying to put that to use for years

Don't be hatin' on the couch. It can't help it. It's what they do... now the damn couch is making me quit working and take a nap. see i told you it was a bad influence
