Reply to Do You Have Guns In Your House? in Politics JoeUser Forums

If your lion is the type of lion that will eat you, it would probably be safer to have a gun in the house.

Reply to Who should decide how much you make? in Politics JoeUser Forums

If we were able to pull off a communistic society without guns to our heads, we would have done it already. Welfare and social security came into being because somewhere along the line, people stopped caring about the poor. This was probably about the time when the poor started living in clumps instead of spread out through small towns. So now, we have welfare programs that do not really help and we have social security because people do not take ca

At the end, the guy said that he didn't consider himself a hero, that he was a Marine, and that it was his job to go in and save people. So, ABC may think he's a hero, but that's just part of his character.

Debt is Slavery in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

I feel the bondage of debt, and I don't even have that much. I have student loans, and a very small amount of credit card debt. You hear all the time about people with tens of thousands in credit card debt, car payments up the wazoo, just barely squeaking by in their heavily mortgaged house with every modern convenience known to man. The problem with all th

Reply to Is Interference in the Birth Process Fooling with God's Plan in Religion JoeUser Forums

You can't fool with God's plan. He's God. His plan goes down no matter what we try to do. Women with their tubes tied get pregnant. If God wants a baby born, it gets born. If God doesn't want a baby born, it doesn't get born. Why would he not want a baby born? I have no idea. But either He's God and all powerful, and there no way I can understand him, or He's understandable, and not all-powerful. My wife is not having a second C-Section, and is going to try and have a VBAC (vagi

Reply to Wally World - The Trip Of Doom And Gloom in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Nono, the porn just doesn't mess Linux up. Windows automatically uploads the porn to Bill Gates' computer, which is what makes it run so slow. Glad you survived Wally World. I just found a new one that was not so bad to go to, it was giant, like a warehouse, so it had aisles that were actually wide enough. The only I usually go to does not. It made it tolerable, and it had cheap food.

That's terrible. Never trust someone else to FILE your taxes, just to prepare them. And then, if they don't sign it, read it over, because you're liable.

Good luck. I married a woman from the internet, and so far I haven't been murdered yet. Her either. So that's positive. We actually had a church for our meeting place, which felt really safe.

Reply to Are Americans Chumps or Warriors in Politics JoeUser Forums

Deference, did you think that American politcal leaders cared about anything but promoting themselves into office? If they did, they wouldn't be in office, and they would probably be trying to help the Iraqis without governmental help. In every election, there is at least one candidate who cares more than anything about getting the votes... and they win, because they go and get the votes. If you stand for anything except getting votes, that candidat

The IRS itself is cold and unfeeling, but the agents - well, I was going to apply to the IRS, but I ended up elsewhere... but they are just people like you and me who wanted decent benefits and flexible schedules.

Reply to So much for exclusivity: Blockbuster vs. Netflix in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

Why not? It is their intellectual property. If Netflix is renting it out, then they are stealing IP, which violates copyright law. You can discriminate against whoever you want, and you can be as exclusive as you want with your IP. At least, that is my understanding of it.

Ever read the book by Max Barry, Company? In one part of it, the network goes down, and nobody can do any work for days... but then they start working anyway, without the network... it's a really funny read.

Ordinary Payroll Exclusions in Business JoeUser Forums

When buying insurance, you might be tempted, or even advised, to purchase insurance with an ordinary payroll exclusion in order to lower your premiums. I urge you not to unless you have thought it through completely. Yeah, saving money is great, but only if you don't plan on paying any hourly employees during a loss. The ordinary payroll exclusion means that anythi

Reply to Tomorrow... the IRS in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

We paid them 3.4 mil and they come back with an answer of, "they just fell off?" Why should we pay them when they didn't even do a study of kids balance issues, etc. Anyway, besides all that, why the heck does the US Government need to know why kids fall off tricycles unless there's something wrong with the product that needs a lawsuit against it? Wouldn't that call for a proper analysis of kids just falling off?

Reply to What is it with Girls? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

We definitely played chase. There is no good ending to a game of chase except "Recess is over! Line up!" I do believe I once asked "Why are we chasing them?" but nobody knew. Never even thought of catching them, just chasing. I think I caught one once, caught against a fence with nowhere to go, didn't even touch her... and she screamed, and I got yelled at, and that was the end of chase for me.

Reminds me of Albuquerque by Weird Al... something like... a man says he hasn't had a bite in three days...I knew what he meant, but just to be funny, I took a big bite out of his jugular vein, and he's bleeding and screaming, and I'm like, "C'mon, man, can't you take a joke?" Hillarity ensues. Anyway, for some reason, our society views people who can't take a joke as inferior, even if it wasn't really a joke. Unless you're joking ab

I agree. Even if one is recognized, one sitll had to spend the money. It's not like she's getting recognition for free. Do you think she went out of her way to get recognition? Or did she just do it, and someone else decided to print it? Anyway, she's Oprah. She has her own show. She's going to be recognized no matter what.
