[quote]Capitalism "works" (and I use that term very loosely in this instance), because the rich exploit the poor. Since they've been doing it for SO long, and they're starting to run out of poor to exploit, hence we find ourselves where we are today, where big corporations are going belly up and begging for help from the government. Large corporations are given the same rights as a human being, and functions as if it's been given a 3 months to live (quarterly profits) -- the main focus bein

[quote who="Night Train" reply="3" id="2258230"]Oh and we need to start taxing the churches since they can't seem to stay out of government. [/quote] I agree with this. Some churches are so ornate, and then there's the Evangilists! Millionaires, and got that way from fraud and basically, begging! Send in $20.00 asking for a prayor or blessing. The staff tears the envelope open, puts the money in a pile and throws the rest away!! FRAUD!
[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="2" id="2258223"]MG....the 'tough, fend for yourself, social pseudo-Darwinian' mindset does not cut it. Heartlessness, cynicism and lack of empathy/compassion and humanity are simply defense mechanisms. There but for fortune go you and I... " went the words of an old Phil Ochs song.

WOW! Thanks for the karma! You know, I almost put that it's still a pound, (or $1.66 in U.S. Dollars!) I know, I'm goofy, right? [e digicons]:P[/e]
What if I save the preview jpg. again as a png., then back to jpg and then the logonfile?
It sucks when you buy an all-in-one wireless printer and one month later it won't work right but customer service says there was only a 21 day return period and tech support can't get it through their heads (in English) that it isn't the wireless setup that's wrong, it's that the printer just won't PRINT!!

They weigh the same--a pound, right?

Personally, it hasn't been all that long since the apps I use were updated to be compatible with Vista. I'm not all that anxious to go to a new OS for a while! Besides, I really would miss my WB!

Holy Crappola, Batman! I'VE downloaded a couple things from there, from links posted in email groups. Nothing happened to my machine, BUT the apps didn't WORK, either! I quit going there a year or so ago. I'm sorry to hear you got smacked around by going there, Jafo! I sure won't ever go there again, and I'm posting a warning in all my groups!
There is SOOO much stuff in that thread it would take you all day to sort it out. so I just copied the mods post! Here it is: Post
[quote]Mouse post me a link, that doesn't seem right, the mods actually posted back telling you this? Or was it someone else?[/quote] This was a board on About.com and it's the Phoenix, AZ. section. so it would be the "expert" on Phoenix who runs it. She actually quoted my remark about being surprised that a personal attack wasn't deleted, so she obviously was offended by that! And here's what started it all. I said I wondered why if people move to Phoenix and hate it here, then why
[quote] Now there's no way I'd do that to you Mousey... that really sucks and the mods should stomp personal attacks/those making them[/quote] I know you wouldn't! And I can't think of a single person on this board who would. Youse guys is my friends! [e digicons]
It sucks when: You post a comment on a message board (NOT this one) and someone responds with a scathing barrage of insults the likes of which you'd expect from a Marine drill Sergent! <span style="font-size: small; co

No, I can't think what to try next..........
Mrs. S, we had a series on TV here called "Airline", and it showed the daily workings, and I was surprised at how many people they turned away at the counter! Usually with a lame excuse. Except for the ones who were obviously intoxicated, I didn't see how they could do that. I haven't flown since 9/11, but I can see it's a lot different these days. Did you ever get where you were going OK?
Good advice, Doc! I know that every time I feel like exercising I lie down until the feeling passes! BTW, what's the I. D.

Starkers, more than likely they'll do a endoscopic removal. They make a little hole the size of a coin and reach in with a snipper/forceps and nip it off and pull it out the little hole. There's hardly any pain these days! [e digicons]:karma:[/e] It sucks when: You live in the U.S. and start to say "the size of a quarter" and then realise maybe
