  1. what are you still doing awake!? I am the insominac here!
  2. John Couey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Couey, is an evil, pathetic, and ugly little man, who likely hasn't had much affection shown to him in life. To lock him up in a tiny cell, removed from all outside contact for the long length of time it takes to humanely execute somebody according to Florida law, is not justice. He needs human contact and interaction. Justice for a child-molester-rapist-killer kind of guy like Couey involves recognizing his humanity. He needs to know we care about him. He needs to understand that he is not forgotten. He needs our compassion. My solution: He should be housed in the general prison population, where he may receive the attention and affections of other violent inmates, who will recognize him as the human being he is, and treat him accordingly. We can't bring Jessica Lunsford back, but it's not too late to do the right thing to for John Couey. It is the compassionate thing to do. :shade:
  3. I just like boobs :bounce: Big, Small, perky, saggy, lopsided, not lopsided, etc... but here is my honest opinion to your question: in the first picture when your arms are up the right boob (your left) seems slightly larger. However if I was not looking for it I would not notice it. In the second picture with the arms down, I had to really look to see a difference. There is a difference but it in no way seems to me IMHO to matter in the least. I think they look great and you can show them off to me anytime you want my dear exhibitionist :confused: :eyebrows::eyebrows:
  4. I can eat eggs with no problems. SOME people cannot, you will just have to wait and see if you can handle them. As far as beer goes, I would not recommend it, I had some serious foaming issues. Ask your doctor Beer is empty calories in any case, when I go out I just stick to an expensive hard liquor (Example: Double shot of Black Bushmills on the rocks) or a non-carbonated mixed drink.
  5. Maybe a back brace would help. If you go to a gym, you could try working your back muscles/abdominals more.

  7. I am little happier whenever a major evangelist dies. I feel just a little safer.
  8. because you don't want just anybody to be able to adopt a child. You also get a federal tax credit that makes up for a big chunk of the adoption cost. Some states offer tax credits as well I believe. Lets look at the costs: Documentation (birth certificates, marriage certificates, etc. Also these documents often have to be notarized and the notarization has to be apostilled.) Immigration fees if the child is from out of country (process the forms and the fingerprints, the FBI for the fingerprints, the state for the fingerprints, the state for the criminal background checks and child abuse and neglect checks.) travel fees (airline tickets, hotel or apartment rent, meals, taxis, etc.) agency participation (process your information, advocate for you, guide you through the process, get all the dossier paperwork translated, pay their in-country staff, provide translation services if needed) lawyers, government fees to get birth certificates, abandonment decrees copies, court costs, medical exams, immunizations, travel visas, passports, homestudy, pre-placement visits, post-placement visits and report, and much more
  9. I am looking forward to being able to go deeper into my area for a better hunt. I am also looking forward to being able to gut and drag out my kill without stopping every hundred yards.
  10. A bigot (in modern usage) is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from their own Lucys comment: A bigoted statement, it is insulting and infers that I am a militant republican. Please note, I was attempting to have a conversation but repeated attacks will cause retaliation in kind, I can flame war with the best if that is what is wished.
  11. so....if I post a spoiler for the ending the day of release, how many people can I expect to be coming to my small corner of Oregon to kick my ass? :cry
  12. Thought we hunters needed a thread, trade some advice or tips on getting in shape for this season. Anybody looking forward to having more fun than usual out in the woods this year or next year?
  13. GO JOE! how perfect would this be: a movie based on a cartoon based on a toy which trades on militant nationalism to make money. It would be the most awesome cannibalistic cluster-fuck of a self-referential marketing mess. And what would they use to promote the movie... some toys? What would that be, like 5 levels of self-marketing? My brain hurts now. Up next! A live action Care Bears movie!! That last bit was sarcasm, I hope
  14. I truly and honestly believe that pretty much the only way to help the average person of Mexico is for union to send people down there to aggressively recruit and organize. Yes there WILL be deaths as the government, crime lords and industry leaders fight back but they did here in America also. My great grandfather was among those who were there when the national guard of New Jersey was called out and shot down strikers. Once the living situation in mexico is improved the immigration problem will no longer be much of a problem.
  15. On that we agree at least BJean! As hard as it may be for you to believe I am not "right-wing" (registered independent) nor am I "neo-con" I am staunchly pro-union, pro-choice and anti-big biz to name a few of my political contradictions.
  16. Pardon me, Second Paragraph? Where? I apologize for the snipe my tolerance for bleeding hearts seems to get less and less every day.
  17. Carlene, then I suppose you would put the welfare of others over your own family? If so, explain your reasoning please.
  18. Good, I would hate to see you lying to yourself.
  19. Why would I be doing that? I dare say Lucy, you are a bigot. You need help
  20. Canadians flock to the United States for procedures that have three-year waits in Canada. Sweden's widely praised system is on the verge of collapse with the government being unable to raise taxes high enough to cover the program's costs. If that "makes economic sense," it's in a far different economy than any of us have ever experienced. Declaring health care a "right" necessarily declares choice "not a right." That is more reminiscent of Soviet Russia than the United States; we all know what happened to that economy.
  21. universal health care will become another tax burden on the hard-working "middle class" -- the "filthy rich" can buy anything they want. Government employees (including politicians like Sen. Hillary Clinton) will never join universal health care because their program, created by Congress and partially funded by tax money, is far superior to any "universal" plan they might slap together. The "underprivileged" (based on experience in civilized nations) will overload the universal health care system to the point that the "middle-class" working man will be forced to "go private" because he can't sit in the waiting room day after day after day to see an overworked doctor.
  22. A meaningless statement. Give me a break, I suppose you must hate ALL presidents who ordered bombing(s) then right?! Roosevelt, Truman, Clinton, etc, etc I thought people this stupid only existed on TV. .
  23. One person without insurance is a tragedy, lucy 13 million is a statistic I do not care, about any of those 13 million people. My heart does not bleed for everyone else like yours. I will stick to worrying about my family first and foremost, thank you very much.
  24. I am tired of looking for relationships, dealing with shallow women and being shot down. I am tired of doing the work for nothing or very little. Maybe I should just wait until I am considered "normal" by society's standards. Any thoughts?
