The difference for me: 9/11 = Co-workers I was working on projects with in NY got killed in the tower; I left work that morning to ride the bus back home through a sea of dazed and scared looking people; got home and went right to bed and cried for the rest of the day; I got laid off a month later 7/7 = same old shit, different day

Funny that we are talking about this on the 8th of July, which has as much importance as the 4th.

True. I have been reading the Civil War Almanac by Commager. The politics during the time of that war and Lincoln were unbelievable, worse that modern day. All the same issues, all the same political parties and players, all the same shit. (Interestingly, of course, was that the Democrats at the time were pro-Slavery.) These things we gripe about have been around for at least 150 years, if not from the very birth of this nation. The Democratic Party at that time was the "white man's party". The Republicans had split from the Whig party and were the movers and the shakers. History class sucks. History books rock--you'll get addicted to them.

very knotty

I think many people do realize that the wool is being pulled over their eyes, even when its happening. It's not like political discussions like the ones we are having now weren't going on around elections.

Wow, what a powerful arguement. Thank you for that insight.

We lost true leadership when we acquiesced to a plutocracy

You were screwin' upside-down on a ropeswing?! You're one talented SOB! Talent? I think he got lucky...

And on the heads side?

Sad that Bush is the barometer of idiocy.

DOB I think

How about Wagner tickets instead? You might have to organize this with TLG at this stage

You are quite mistaken.

would a real "lady" hang out on this site? Nope, just a girlie.

I don't like the smell of fresh laid poop, actually... Good to know No scat games for you Water sports?

And we conveniently brought it back around to telling eachother to screw themselves. I LOVE THIS SITE!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I consider a different smell the scent of victory...

Come on guys, she's a girl. Maybe she's just nicer than you. The f word is not ladylike! So back the fuck off.

Selkirk deals with your response best; but I can't resist adding a tiny little jab as well. First, agnostic does mean noncommital. If you are going to use the word to identify your beliefs, you should know what it means. Look it up. Second, people who believe in God (not the "persona" of God) have found a way to either concretely define it for themselves or decided they don't need a definition to have faith. Third, "latching on to an idea" is a trite way to describe faith. I realize these religious fools might seem like idiots to you--but the majority of the world for the history of man has believed in a god or a system of gods for all of history. I am not saying that makes them right, but it does give one pause... And lastly, congratulations on being a girl. My guess is you will hit your newbie status before you make it to womanhood. Keep posting and work only when you have to.

Tried yogurt? Yeah, takes care of that itch real quick. Any other witty rejoinders you just can't resist?

That's the thing about culture Its expensive
