Reply to Vote For Me, Al Franken, You'll Be Glad You Did!!! in Current Events JoeUser Forums

no, all in all, i genuinely feel the left is more honest...both sides spin, but i've seen more deception, lies and cover ups over truly serious matters in my lifetime from the right than from the left. plus i genuinely agree with many of the left's stances,,,I am socially liberal, when it comes to adults who are consenting, i am very left on the environment but i'm not militant about it and realize the needs of progress in those fields as well as the n

Why We Hate Salespeople Part II "Trades" in Consumer Issues JoeUser Forums

The trade is one of the most crucial parts of the process, but before diving into that headfirst. Let's take a few moments to understand the sales process. This is something I learned long ago, and have been trained and trained others in various capacities. It varies from company to company, but essentially is the same process. It is not dishonest or unethical. The "s

Why We Hate Salespeople Part I in Consumer Issues JoeUser Forums

The other day, I was sitting, enjoying a beverage, when the person next to me started to go off. They began by telling everyone within earshot what a "rip off house" the car dealer he was at earlier was. He went off about the pressure, the lack of money for his trade, the more than 0% interest rate and a whole host of complaints. With the long list of complaints, it

Reply to Clarke Backs Up Book in 9/11 Commission Testimony in Politics JoeUser Forums

actually, i contend that lying to congress is a crime and when one speaks to congress they are under a "de facto" oath. this point was backed up the other day on wolf blitzer by both sides of the aisle....i tried to reply then but that was the day no one could post.... the actual difference lies in that when someone is sworn in, there is a transcript. when they are not, only notes are taken..sometimes.

"The Apprentice" Shrinks the Class To 4 in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

Tonight, Donald Trump will hit the airwaves again and serve up another dose of my latest guilty pleasure, "The Apprentice. The show is now down to 5 contestants. The 5 are on one team Troy, the good ol boy salesman, Bill, the entrepenurial cigar store owner, and Kwame, the Harvard MBA and Goldman Sachs employee. This is the "Protege Corporation as they are known.

Reply to That whole democracy thing in Politics JoeUser Forums

one last thought looking at people trying to define democracy to fit their arguement here... i am reminded of the words of Ben Franklin, who stated ..."Democracy is 2 wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well armed lamb contesting the vote. " any questions?

Reply to Moveon.org Should Pull Latest Ad...And Move On in Politics JoeUser Forums

thank you very much steven:) the members of this board don't know it, but i am actually quite even handed in my views....i am a progressive, but i think i do good in showing my bias rather than disguise it and try to point out things that i see from all over the spectrum rather than just attack the other side. where i may be a progressive, that doesn't mean that 100% of my views are liberal. many are, but many are conservative and traditional as well..

Vote For Me, Al Franken, You'll Be Glad You Did!!! in Current Events JoeUser Forums

"Vote for me, Al Franken. You'll be glad you did!" was the tag line to a mock election campaign that Al and partner Tom Davis did a few decades ago. The campaign consisted of a series of ads, each escalating in their charges against the other candidate. One would accuse the other of lying, the other would come back with something like embezzlement. If one was a philad

Moveon.org Should Pull Latest Ad...And Move On in Politics JoeUser Forums

This week, Moveon.org, a "527" organization in the political arena, launched it's new ads. They feature the testimony of former counterterrorism chief Richard Clarke in front of the 9/11 commission. I have been a supporter of the organization's right to organize and express their opinions on issues. I believe they have done great things to get people more involved in

unfair,,,,yeah, i thought pearl jam being snubbed was wrong as well....i remember when they released their debut, 10. i think at the time, without trying to rewrite history, it made more of an impact than nevermind did with the people,,,nirvana got the better press, but pearl jam was as good if not a better band in my mind. a lot of people point to cobain and nirvana for ending the "hair band" metal glory days....i actually think guns and rose

china....yeah, i've been "accused" of that over the years...and it's a moniker i don't mind...i started seeing the dead back around 85 and about 100 shows later (for me) jerry died...a day that lives in my flashpoint memory the way john lennon's death did for me and jfk's death is still as vivid for some. their lack of inclusion was a major slap in the face imho. the next biggest snub was to include no one from the heavy metal circles,,,i thou

Rolling Stone's "Greatest Artist" List Flawed in Music JoeUser Forums

Every once in a while, someone goes and makes a list of the top 10 this or that, or the top 100 of all time something or other. And every time they do, someone else shows cause as to why the list should be different. Most recently, Rolling Stone Magazine published it's "50 Greatest Artists of All Time." And of course, there are some serious holes. Before w
