The stars signed my Quixoto Treaty but, I have my revenge with hot CO2 and methane emissississions. nice pics. Looks like dat Hansel dude can swing a line as well as a brush.

I dream the impossible dream

I call fraud. You are, self-admittedly, olyclimber. Not vantageclimber. moderators, please pull this post.

they're new to me. I had to learn one of their tunes (a good one, don't remember the name) in a band.

M & M's I simply wanted to get in on one of the longest pages in the cc.com archive. But, while I'm here... The repetitive surfacing of racist comments in use ostensibly to condemn political argument is tiresome and says as much about the accuser as the accused; give it a rest, will ya? And the argument I saw here to put whatever costs "rightfully" on employers/businesses/corporations instead of taxpayers seems ignorant. In principle, all businesses pass their costs (overhead) onto consumers, aka taxpayers.

Boiled in Lead

V7, why the recurrent racist theme? Take a lesson from Ghandi and King, Jr. You aren't gonna defeat that kind of thinking by using the same weapons... ... that is, if you're truly interested in seeing an end to it.

It seems, generally, the higher the conciousness or awareness of the human (in their own estimation), the lower the conciousness of the living being required as acceptable for their consumption. V7, it sounds like you estimate your own awareness to be relatively high and require a reciprocal low awareness for your consumption: you draw the line between animals and plants, yes? I don't care about all that too much. Once, I did. Vegetarian for eight years, macrobiotic for three of 'em. Nowadays, I might eat a human if I had to. Of course, I'd draw the line somewhere above Kevbone...

divine redundant system?

impassioned cursing and a bigger hammer

Arrest made in attack on Wiesel

I can tell you, but, then I'd have to kill you.

Mine is huge...I stole it from g-spotter. You seem to have missed the joke, Kevbone. Yes?

I guess it's nice when a group of folks can agree on what's PC, but I'm getting mixed messages. You start out judging as negative the comment "hot Canadian women" and qualify responding posts as "somewhat unsavory followups". Then, before the end of your post, you're talking differently with "Hunkadelic", "It doesn't always have to be guys ogling the girls", "Sue was swooning over the cover photo of Jeff Schoen", and finally 'the topic drifted slightly to "boxers or briefs" and Jeff responded with one of the coolest responses of all time, listing his undergarment assortment!'. Is it a matter of acceptable and unacceptable language? Or, did you lighten-up as the writing of your post transpired from a stringent PC ethic to the relaxed tone with which you finished? Or, are you as confused about what is acceptable thought as your post conveys?

She's bent, we know that much.

Met and had a conversation with the fat boy on the Fat Boy in '76. ...is one still a namedropper if you don't use the semi-famous person's name that's the nukedropper?

this thread requires peristalsis

heh

Phil Jones prefers to have his anally implanted to avoid this issue, and suggests you do the same. ShiniGami prescribes every orifice filled

yeah, fucked-up shit. It doesn't matter the socio/theo/politico identity. People will always find a way to shit the nest.

Whether it involves any of the world's religions, we all perceive some aspect of negative influence religion has in the world and on how peace is to be allowed to manifest. Now and historically, it should be noted that many, if not most, of the humanitarian relief efforts performed around the globe have at their base a religious stance. I do not support, but condemn, efforts that hold a mandatory listening or viewing of proselytizing material in order to receive assistance. Whether The Mountain Fund or the subject family of this post, I look, with as objective an eye as I can muster, to support people who simply provide aid and service to those in need. For nigh on a decade, I've supported a family indigeonous to Namibia, who with their own hands, provide relief and comfort to those affected and/or dying of AIDS in Namibia and South Africa. I want those here that are, in general, adversarial to religion to know that there are specific instances where the utmost "good" is resultant from the influence of religion on the human heart. What follows is a copy of an email I received from John today: " Hi! In the last few weeks we again saw how conventional thinking in terms of what is 'wise' and what is 'right' becomes weak and unwise in the face of hunger, suffering and death. Circumstances on the frontline requires frontline measures and radical focus on 'doing the right thing' instead of 'doing things right'. You all know that in the last few weeks we could barely feed the orphans and eventually ran out of funds. Daphne and I had to make tough decisions to use personal funds to help feed families, to help with much needed medicine for some patients and to help with transporting patients. Any funds we had to finalize video clips for showing on my trip and for internet, photo's and brochure material had to be put on the back burner in the face of little hungry children and sick people. My office is in Ikangeng and we have 250 000 people spread over the hills in shacks and tents. We are surrounded by daily, hourly outcries for help and mercy. I am a few days away from flying to Denver and Tampa to present to people what Jesus is asking of us. And I feel passionate, yet overwhelmed and needy. I am convinced and I will not turn back. I know when I get on the plane and when I walk into the airport in the US I ask 'who will hear?', who will understand? who will allow their hearts to be broken? Who will weep with us? Who will be moved or allow themselves to be moved?' I remember the 17 yr old girl who was walking to her home in the township and crossed a dry river bed where she was attacked and raped. She was in her prime in the early years of the new South Africa. Our country was infant in its freedom and so was Letobo. She was one of the most promising students in her school and with the excitement of freedom and a future of hope she had many plans and dreams. That afternoon when she was raped and traumatized she was - unbeknownst to anyone - also infected with HIV/AIDS. She got sick and weak fast and ran away from school and home to avoid the shame, stigma and possible attack from others because they think she is cursed. She ended up on a farm almost a thousand miles from home. The farmer gave a job not realizing how sick she was because she still had some strength and could do basic cleaning and house work. Some of the other workers - not knowing she had HIV/AIDS raped her and abused her while she was working on the farm. After almost a year of these circumstances she began to get really sick and weak and eventually the farmer told her she must go. She walked and eventually ended up in Bloemfontein where she went to a clinic for help. They told her she would die in a few days. By now she had some sores on her face, arms and legs. The clinic helped her with some ointment but could nothing for her. She wandered the streets alone for days. She was a young 18 years old but by now was paper thin and weak and dying. Four days later she again went to the clinic where they told her they can do nothing (they get hundreds of people like her). Letobo was barely able to stand when she spoke to the two nurses at the clinic. She turned around and slowly shuffled away. One of the nurses, a black lady was a Christian and as she watched Letobo shuffling away Jesus touched her heart. She hurried after Letobo and asked her to wait till after work. She took Letobo in her house and she and her family cared for Letobo for eight days until Letobo died. We prayed and decided to call our work International Grassroots Outreach. When then realized it says IGO "I Go". It works for us because we want many all over the world to say "I Care" and "I will Go" Have mercy! much love and thank you for reading, John "
