Great list. This may make you cringe but I've always liked the 'Behind Blue Eyes' cover by Limp Bizkit. But that's just me.

This is not such a big worry. The way the world is such a mess, I say bring it on. Wipe it all out and start all over. That 'Vengeful God' stuff isn't very intimidating anymore. It's really just a bit of a bore waiting for the big final day to start. Yawn.

In my small home office of 4 computers I have a 5th one that I use strictly as a network drive. This computer has 2 SATA drives at 250 Gigabytes each for a total storage space of 500 Gigabytes. I have scheduled backups on the first 4 computers to back up at the end of each day to the network drive. (I've set it up so that 2 separate copies are made, one on each drive.

"But the mention of the Carter snub was a symptom of a larger problem, and a problem that threatens to destroy us as a nation. We have become a nation of whiners and malcontents, often without a clue as to the very nature of and solutions to the various problems we encounter. " I believe the Australian critic Robert Hughes referred to this as America's "Culture of Complaint," an endless bickering, never deciding anything but enjoyed pure

Reply to Respect the Office in Politics JoeUser Forums

so we only have to respect the office when a Republican is in power? As an outsider I have often noticed in the history of US elections that some (not all) invariably proclaim a need for everyone (Republicans and Democrats) to rally behind the President once all that election business was over and settl

That's an interesting cultural difference between Australia and the US. From birth we're raised to be suspicious of politicians and to be completely cynical about their every motive. This is a Canadian trait as well. In our case it's not due to a convict pa

Insightful article, and an appropriate piece of advice for all to heed. When I first saw the title I thought, how ironic, given recent world events, but as I began to read, especially the set-up to the moral, I could see there was no 'absent-minded' pun intended.

I think it'd be wise to get the definition of "hate speech" right: Any words spoken against the Enlightened Liberals who deserve to have complete control of the entire world at the expense of them conservative hicks. A partial definition. A start. That is speech intended to seriously frighten

I lived in Toronto myself for well over 30 years. Since you have set the precedent for making wide statements based on nothing more than your proximity to Yonge street, I feel I have the right to continue the practice. I too lived very near Yonge, in two sectons of town. One was Yonge and Carlton (right beside the old Maple Leaf Gardens), and the other was Yonge and Eglington. I also lived just off Yonge at Jarvis and Bloor and for a time on Parl

Reply to Bashing the GOP in Politics JoeUser Forums

Excellent article dabe. Worthy of an Insightful. There is an article over at Mikes sight. I'm sure you've already read it. It compares Republicans and the tactics they use against Democrats to the tactics of domestic abusers. The article is from the perspective of a person who works in a shelter with abused women and children and knows all too well the signs. The similarities are unnerving. <img src="../images/smiles/mad.gif" border=0 A

To bash is human.....so.... Bash lawyers; bash doctors; bash the rich; bash the poor; bash corporations; bash employers; bash unions; bash welfare recipients; bash politicians; bash other races; bash other religions; bash athiests; bash the media. Just make sure to blame anyone or anything but yourself for your problems. Never, ever, take responsibility. It's so much easier to get through life that way. <img src="../images/

"For more than 200 years, elections in America have been routinely disputed, a practice that protects the will of the people. It is the only insurance that citizens’ intent is met. As members of Virginia’s lower House of Assembly, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson themselves “intervened” in many disputed elections. During the 18th century, resolving contested elections was normally the first order of business in every new term, b
