Well said.... I tend to think of writing things on-line as a good FIRST step but not the end in itself. The thrust of the article didn't seem to be directed at blog writers anyway but toward the masses we do the the thing the Karmagirl does *not* do. Namely allow their own lives to serve as their excuse for failure.
are relevent to the article I agree, relevant does not = contrary to what the article said in print though. I won't troll you on this any further Muggaz. I understand your frustraion with the points loss, but we all play in the same sandbox here and all take the same chance of getting a little in our eyes once in
what kind of site encourages an atmosphere where if you disagree, you lose points - which effectively means status That is called public opinion in most places, not fascism.... the public here has 8many* people who espouse things they don't agree with and for publicly espousing them the aforementioned folks lose status in society. The
His aussie time schedule messes me up on occasion as well... but is nice to have such a wide variety of people here that you can count on some activity almost non-stop....
Muggaz - Sweet mother of pete...don't tell me you are falling into this "powers that be" business now too? Has it occurred to you that the "powers that be" which make you lose points are the opinions of the JU community and not some bizarre conspiracy of people who don't agree with you? I never give your thoughtful remaks trollings and I even skip over the ones where you obviously missed reading some salient point in another person's article and correct yourself later in the thread. It is whe
What can you do to get people to work with you, besides speak (whine)? You can do what the other two listed in this same comment did... Get out there and *take bloody action*. Get a job in the peace corps, earn a taxable wage, contribute to the contry or what have you. I am not saying that *you* do not dothese things, but the targets of Ka
And When I hit "Create New Article" I get a message saying "You are not authorized to access this page." Had the same problem twice yesterday.
It is something of an Army tradition to get drunk and intentionally call your friends at ungodly hours. If they are unlucky enough to be *working* while you are out on the town it is considered even more of an imperative.
Parapundit has been running a series of pieces regarding the possibility that the United States was spoon-fed bad Human Intellegence (HUMINT) reports regarding WMD in Iraq by Chalabi vis Iran. I have no particualr insight into the facts behind these specific reports but Parapundit seems to lack a bit of understanding regarding the reliability of of HUMINT when they say things like this : "They need the level of talent (particularly
While there may be some worthwhile sentiment in that chunk there... this was actually one of the points where I felt he had dipped into the hyperbole bin.
The major networks simply cater to the consumer drone will of the broadcast audience. If the majority of folks out there actually voted last night with their remotes and didn't watch the drivel broadcast in the place of the speech then next year maybe they will carry it. If not well.... "the mob is Rome!"
As a child I used to love Andy Rooney's end bit of 60 minutes. I enjoyed the critical thought process he would apply to everyday things like soap. That being said, I never paid much attention to the man's political opinions until fairly recently. I completely disagreed with the points Mr. Rooney made in his article " Our Soldiers are Not Heroes " and had not found much
The thing is since the FCP rules are almost never enforced, she would have been able to run to the CSM and say that any repercussions agaist her were due to race. the unit would not have a leg to stand on either. You have to punish everyone equally or shitbags liek her get to slip through the cracks. It is the big downfall of "hooking up" a good soldier. Down the road you will likely be forced to do the dsame for someone else who does not deserve it.
basically, in all but legal fact, Kerry is going to be the official candidate, right? Part of the delay seems to be due also to the spilt between the Kerry/Kennedy and Clinton camps. Without healing this divide the Dems wont have as good a push towards election as they might otherwise.
well you have your choice... money or a really easy job like Sec. of Defense... Damn it they said I could trade up for a bigger prize! What the hell will I do with 30 kewpie dolls? I was counting on getting that big inflatable Muggaz! Stupid carnie rip-offs.....
There is a reason that "speaking Greek" is commonly used as a euphemism:)
I have had terrible mental images before, but this was the first bad mental *sound* I have ever had..... oy vey that sucks Stick to the software gig Brad.... or at least require a five drink minimum for the crowd before you croon!
I toured Ellsworth actually, very nice in comparison. But honestly it is like comparing apples to oranges......
I prefer "Ai, Papi!" or "hold him down First Sergeant!"
my take is that it was definately made for dreamy girls:) Or dreamy boys who like brad I guess.... (shudder)
I must have missed that part too?
....why unsweetened? No money for sugar.
Faygo Diet Key Lime Pie Soda.. Faygo is still around? I thought only the free ad time they got from the Insane Clown Posse was keeping them afloat! That pie sounds mighty tasty though.

Thats why you guys get my money and patronage. Keep up the good work.
Hmm liked the article but hung my head a bit everytime I came across one of those I have violated flagrantly (nearly all of them at one time or another). Just part of the learning process I suppose?
