My parents never hit me, but my brother sure used to beat the shit out of me. But, now I'm bigger than he is and I've got a hot girlfriend, so it doesn't bother me anymore. See what I'm saying?

dude, sounds like you need to fucking get over it. Are you going for the chip-on-both-shoulders "balanced" approach or something? If I whined about all the bad shit that's happened to me, my balls would have shriveled up and fallen off long ago. That's what happens, you know. I only say this because I care. sickie

It's not kevbone's resistance to spanking that people were making fun of, it was his insistence that it's bad to make children do things they don't want to do or force them to follow rules.

That's your fantasy? My fantasies are always more x-rated.

You're next! ;-) One down, one to go

God, they got all old and fat, just like the Pixies.

Oh, also no regulation of the pharmaceutical industry. lol. GO RON PAUL!!!!

Still, at least things are not as bad as they would be in a Ron Paul administration. Can you even imagine? No regulation of the banking industry, no regulation of the stock market, no regulation of the environment -- it's like a corporate wet dream.

awesome link, thanks. I'm not sure I can even give the ACLU any money anymore after the citizens united debacle.

I've been hit by cars a few times, now -- once while jogging on the sidewalk. I've never been hit by a car whilst climbing, however.

"Viva la Corporation!!! -- Ron Paul 2012" I heard that was going to be his official campaign motto, right after "no more negros" but it didn't do as well in testing.

I hear you. But I also think it is complete nonsense to continue to vote for the same establishment thinking you are going to get a different result. Unless you like where we are at currently. I am willing to try something completely different. Dont hate me for it. Ron Paul is not "completely different" -- he's more like a concentrated version.

"scarves up!" lol, fucking retarded.

Who is bobby brown gonna hit now?

Wanna see a pic of my balls? PM me

Would you all like me to share my special purpose? Some might consider that to be firmly held.

either would work

You guys gotta get your message straight. We stay away and you bitch. Then we post and Jon says we're not working enough at the office. Hold a fucking meeting already, people. I'm a shareholder.

Rimrock Lake is close to LWorth? I guess it's all relative.

What is lame Rob is that YOU are choosing to attack me for not spitting out your party line on an unrelated topic, coupled with making personal attacks. We are discussing a (IMO) wasteful gov't expense. Have you chimed in and agreed that it is wasteful? No. Have you chimed in and stated why it is OK to spend 3.2 million on this toilet? No. You are changing the subject and demanding that I talk about my position on something completely different. The problem here is not insufficient tax revenue - it's spending the revenue we already get on stupid, inflated projects. How many 3.2 million dollar toilets in WA state would you like Carnival to pay for Rob? The one in Elbe? I guess where we differ here is I am OK with taxing Carnival more, but not to waste the money on boondoggle expenses. You must have misunderstood me. I think a 3.2 million dollar toilet is absolutely ridiculous -- I just don't think it's "why america is bankrupt" or whatever it is you said, which is what I objected to. The reason America is in debt is not because of 3 million dollar toilets, and it's disingenuous to claim so. It's because of the money we spend on defense, and because of the many subsidies we give to corporate interests and other wealthy lobbyists. You're complaining about pennies while congress is handing out cigars wrapped in $20 bills to their wealthy and influential friends. THAT'S why we're in debt. Not because of welfare moms and expensive toilets. That doesn't mean I want to keep wasting pennies, too. It's just about assigning the proper causation here. For the record, I don't expect you to toe any party line. I just expect you to use logic, and logic dictates that it's possible my objection to a 1.1% tax on 11 billion in profits MIGHT just be influenced by something other than jealousy.

I've always wanted to get something up in the Twisp/Winthrop area.

I would LOVE to see some conservatives stand up to the republican party. I'm a liberal but I stand up and disagree with the democratic party ALL THE TIME. Publicly. And other liberals, for that matter. But, just because you're a conservative, you have to toe the party line and pretend that it's OK to let corporations pay 1.1% tax on 11 billion, and that I'm just jealous? Will you lose your conservative credentials if you're caught admitting that such a 1.1% tax is a crime? Lame. Seriously lame.

You DO support them paying only 1.1% in profits because you vote for republicans who consider closing corporate loopholes to be "raising taxes." And when anybody points out that this company is a tax scofflaw, you just accuse them of being "jealous." So, from my perspective, you absolutely DO support them paying such a low amount. Otherwise, you wouldn't have attacked me, you would have said something like, "damn, that's messed up!" -- instead, you said something like, "good for them!" Also, taxing 1.1% (instead of the actual rate) on 11.3 billion IS throwing money away. LOL! I guess that kind of math is too hard for republicans to muster. Wrong on all counts. Having a bad day, Rob? Nope, having a great day. I just hate it when "conservatives" pretend to be all about ending wasteful spending while refusing to end corporate loopholes and subsidies. It's like watching a whore pretend to be a virgin. And then when anybody points out that the republicans are wasting money by giving a free ride to the extreme rich and to wealthy corporations, you just say that they're jealous. It's really annoying to see you pick sides -- railing against 3 million dollar bathrooms but refusing to acknowledge that a 1.1% tax bill is ludicrous. It's disappointing. It's OK though, I'll admit that you're right and I'm wrong. Does that make you feel better?
