Does anyone else want to take this one?

Yes, yes, and the right never would stoop to such tricks. Been out of your cave much lately?

Sickness!

I thought clothes price differentials were responsible for that? Someone's dropping the ball again. Time to go kick a few 'employees'.

alcohol + metabolism = carbohydrates, so, yeah, I guess it does.

Maybe he's just some poor fool way out of his depth and he's got a lot of people screaming at him and he just wants some of them to shut up and go away so he can get back to reading comics?

I don't know whether to feel inspired or depressed ...

Are those Boulder bums getting more aggressive?

i thought we were all made of sugar, salt, grease, and cheese dust?

whistler's looking good. anyone else going to be there over christmas?

nice to see you keeping the pre-med mentality alive and well

She's just a woman with a gun, what's to worry about?

As if you deserve an answer. Just consider that one of the consequences of your socially retarded behavior. Maybe it'll cause you to think before you speak next time.

I was about to point that out too but figured he's probably still too mad to comprehend anything that subtle. This sounds oddly familiar: a) post interesting thing in wrong forum b) thing gets moved to appropriate forum c) ggk throws a hissy fit, vows to leave and never return d) ggk dispenses a little lovin' amongst the alpine critters and eventually returns a new man, go to a)

haven't you said that before and promised that you'd never be back etc etc etc? any bets as to how long it will be before he posts/logs in again?

Ever dashing in fleece and goretex, Dru contemplates another long, harsh winter gathering samples for the Canadian Grizzly Bear Fertility Project.

you might want to pay more attention to that karma thing layton...

Now, I'm sure many are wondering, why would you know that? I'm sure there are a few who are even wondering will it really help them climb A5?

http://www%2ecommondreams%2eorg/views05/1025-24.htm Published on Tuesday, October 25, 2005 by the Baltimore Sun The Limits of Bush's Mind by Gordon Livingston President Bush persists in his defense of the policies that have resulted in the decline of his fortunes. In his recent rehearsed television conversation with 11 soldiers in Iraq, he said, "So long as I'm the president, we're never going to back down, we're never going ... to accept anything less than total victory." Twice he told them that the American people were behind them: "You've got tremendous support here at home." In an Associated Press poll taken in September, over half the public now says the Iraq war was a mistake. What's happening? Is the man so insulated from the reality of events that he has come to believe his administration's propaganda? Or is there a more ominous and pervasive problem that calls into question something other than political ideology, that is influenced by a world view marked by an inability to reason logically and learn from experience? The ability to reason accurately is not randomly distributed; some people are better at it than others. Though this is only one form of intelligence, it is an important one, and the lack of it tends to have adverse consequences on one's chances for success at tasks that require good decision-making. While reason affects our beliefs, the process of correctly perceiving how the world works requires an understanding of the scientific method, and is fundamentally different from religious or philosophical inquiries that are concerned with questions of meaning and faith. When the two ways of thinking become confused, as in the controversy over evolution and "intelligent design," we are engaging in a kind of dialogue of the deaf in which scientific theory is pitted against religious belief. A 2004 Harris poll on religion is instructive. Ninety percent of adult Americans professed a belief in God. More interesting, half believe in ghosts, nearly one-third believe in astrology and more than one-fourth believe that they were reincarnated from other people. Two-thirds believe in the devil and hell (but very few expect that they will go there themselves). A nation can afford only so much superstition. For example, 12th-graders recently performed below the international average for 21 countries in math and science. This is an ominous statistic at a time when much energy is being expended in educational circles debating whether a creationist belief ought to be taught alongside evolution in science classrooms.

Mike Who?

Have you been eating bran muffins again?

And conservatives are conservationists? Or do they just like jam products?

I don't agree with the statement vis-a-vis liberals/conservatives, I've just heard it said and was making fun of it. I actually don't think it's a fair generalization for either group and is one of those little verbal bombs thrown into a conversation in order to evoke an emotional, rather than an intellectual, response in order to either make your opponent look bad or to mask the deficiencies in your own argument.
