I think most people not just republicans feel that way philo... And you believe it's right, do you?

Reply to The Democrats piss me off again in Politics JoeUser Forums

Do Republicans truly believe there is no wrong as long as someone else does it to you first? Everywhere I turn, I see Republicans scrambling to justify prison abuse and everything else with sad, pathetic, repeated lines that all amount to "but they started it." I'm not really clear as to who released these new tapes, but I would assume that it is someone that is fighting on our side. If someone is fighting on our side, and they do som

A somelier is a professional wine taster, that is, someone whose career actually is tasting wine and deciding what food it is to be paired with. So, a somelier's career is actually drinking. Repeatedly. Night after night. And they get to wear 3 piece suits and be respected while they do it.

PS - I don't recall "winos" as being regarded as sophisticates any time recently. Yeah, but I think "wino" is a term that has become synonymous with "drunk." However, you don't think drunken hick when you hear "somelier."

The Beer/Wine Dichotomy in Misc JoeUser Forums

So this came to me in a sudden flurry of inspiration, and I feel rather like Einstein must have when finally, having known about E=M for five months, he discovered a C squared lying harmlessly under the sofa cushions. Anyways: Why is it that I can stop by a liquor store after work (of course I wouldn't, being but a sprite young lad of 20, and college kids don

Reply to McDonald's Officially Sinks Lower in Current Events JoeUser Forums

So, who's going to lose a job over this? Is there somebody at McDonald's who's sole purpose is just to take drive through orders and nothing else? No, but its one less person that you have to hire. Say you have a team of 5 employees working at a McDonald's at any one time, four on registers, and one tak

I also do not think it fair to have to print things in 7 different languages, or me be forced to learn many different languages to get service at the dmv, fast food joint. 7-11 etc etc.. Absolutely true. You should not be made to change your life, just as they should not be made to change theirs.

Link Say you go to a McDonald's drive-thru (although if you've gone this far, you're already a lost cause). You give your order to the wonderfully articulate individual who is on the other end of the loudspeaker. The funny thing is, if you happen to be in Oregon, the loudspeaker guy is in No

A century ago, there would be no outcry or call for the tiger's death. Just hamburger for a hungry cat. I can't even believe there is a consideration for the cat's death now. You wanted to touch the kitty, moron. Now just take the huge needles to the gut and everything will be fine.

Philomedy,Maybe it isn't a left/right thing, but I personally haven't encountered to date any right wingers making such assertions.

Reply to So You've Decided to Hate America in Current Events JoeUser Forums

"If you truly value unity and peace, perhaps you might want to start by making peace with some of US." I am in complete agreement with the article. However, I would like to point out that it is not solely the responsibility of our detractors to make peace. The problems between America and those who judge us encompass all involved, and both sides have a responsibility to do some of the work; It would not be fair to place the entire task on the
