  1. Ah, backmasking, good times. I remember something about Queen's 'another one bites the dust' having some message about drugs. It became all the rage for a little while.
  2. It's saved on my DVR. Good movie.
  3. I don't get speakers at work. Maybe that's the problem.
  4. Maybe everybody wised up and put me on "Ignore".
  5. Hello? Hello? Is this thing on? Testing, 1,2,3...... testing.
  6. Interesting double standard you've got going on there. I don't see where he said it could be answered on an American level, rather he said it could be on a national level. I read it as being available to answer from any nation. Don't the Brits here deserve a voice? What about the French?
  7. Can you point out where the OP states that? Globally 1) Yes. For thousands of years men have been making war on each other. 2) Most of the time. 3) Most of the time Nationally 1) I think we see ourselves as peace-loving warriors. 2) More than we should, yes. 3) Sometimes. We are very good at it, and sometimes the fact that we are good at it makes us give glory to it. Individually 1) I'm not a warrior, but I could be if required. 2) Sometimes, especially in the heat of the moment. 3) No, but I do honor those who have died fighting for the freedoms I enjoy.
  8. Let's try to keep this thread on topic. If you want to discuss the pros and cons of insurance, then I suggest we start a new topic. I doubt Iggy meant for her thread to degenerate to this.
  9. Have you actually read that site? Juan Cole and his followers are a bunch of idiots. And now you're advocating going to war over the internal laws of a sovereign nation without first attempting diplomatic means or economic sanctions? Funny how you want to make peace with Iran, a country which openly makes threats upon us, and want to wage war on a country that wishes to be our friends. I thought you were the one denouncing war and calling conservatives the war-mongers. Yeah, I think you've lost every bit of credibility that you think you had before.
  10. PM sent, not that it would be too hard to figure out.
  11. I thought it was pretty obvious. The young guy in the poster was unclear on the concept of 'following', not Vort.
  12. Cougarboard, a forum for BYU football discussion.
  13. That's a sig pic a guy on another board I frequent uses.
  14. Were you eating them for their weight loss qualities?
  15. I think that everyone's opinion of what constitutes 'real' Mexican food is wrong. Except mine. I would be the authority, and if you disagree, then you are mistaken.
  16. Just don't ask in front of the kids, okay?
  17. I heard they make edible pasties. Not that I would have any direct knowledge of that though.
  18. Have you offered up any suggestions on how to deal with the problem? What exactly are you expecting them to do for her?
  19. Sorry for letting Pam derail your thread, Bini. I don't have any advice other than to echo what someone else said previously (I don't know who, I didn't go back and look) that sometimes it's easier to love your in-laws than it is to like them. One of the biggest problems I observe in different family relationships problems is that many times when someone thinks they are being funny, the person on the other side of the conversation thinks that a joke is a personal attack on them, when that is not intended at all. Family members often say and do things to each other that they would never think of saying or doing to their friends. In my family, when I can't stand to be around certain people I will limit my interaction with them until they show that we can share the same space without them being offensive. If they continue to be offensive, I build more of a wall between myself and them.
  20. Don't forget the accompanying raise. And the use of the Lear Jet on weekends.
  21. Hi SF! It's been a while, so nice to see you here.
  22. I was trying to be nice. Besides, I didn't know you were that old.
  23. Ask Pam how she handles this. Her 2-years younger sister is married to the biggest jerk I have ever known.
  24. What on Earth comes to my house.
  25. Congrats you two!!
