  1. LMAO that would be the best! I would love to see the look on Rex's face
  2. you win the lottery when you are born in the United States. That is one of 28 people in the world. Would you still have your smug condenscending attitude if you were born in Congo or Zimbambwe or Burma?
  3. selfish, ignorant, and ingrate Water problems affect half of humanity: •Some 1.1 billion people in developing countries have inadequate access to water, and 2.6 billion lack basic sanitation. •Almost two in three people lacking access to clean water survive on less than $2 a day, with one in three living on less than $1 a day. •More than 660 million people without sanitation live on less than $2 a day, and more than 385 million on less than $1 a day. •Access to piped water into the household averages about 85% for the wealthiest 20% of the population, compared with 25% for the poorest 20%. •1.8 billion people who have access to a water source within 1 kilometre, but not in their house or yard, consume around 20 litres per day. In the United Kingdom the average person uses more than 50 litres of water a day flushing toilets (where average daily water usage is about 150 liters a day. The highest average water use in the world is in the US, at 600 liters day.) •Some 1.8 million child deaths each year as a result of diarrhoea •The loss of 443 million school days each year from water-related illness. •Close to half of all people in developing countries suffering at any given time from a health problem caused by water and sanitation deficits. •Millions of women spending several hours a day collecting water. •To these human costs can be added the massive economic waste associated with the water and sanitation deficit.… The costs associated with health spending, productivity losses and labour diversions … are greatest in some of the poorest countries. Sub-Saharan Africa loses about 5% of GDP, or some $28.4 billion annually, a figure that exceeds total aid flows and debt relief to the region in 2003.Source 10
  4. Smoking hot irish girls!
  5. Good luck Sage. You will gain a better appreciation for flavors and how lucky we are. Food is a luxury. And we are fortunate just to have clean water. It is a big world outside the US. Be prepared to swear off lentils for the rest of your life after this
  6. I won one league and was in the championship in another. I was down 11 and started Peterson- and it cost me that championship. My two backups both would of won it for me (Lynch had 13 and Bush had 14). It cost me $600. So anticlimatic.
  7. Keen sandals(I own 2 pairs of the same model-that is how good they are) and a 20 year old pair of HS Trask loafers are my two most comfortable pairs of shoes
  8. regift! I was wondering what to get my Dad
  9. rock on you nutty bastard. RIP
  10. that exactly what I said. Nice non sequitur logic there. Do I think a stadium is a potential target? Of course. But so is rodeos, fruit stands, circus', nail salons, star trek conventions, unicycle manufacturers, aquariums, etc. Unlike many Americans- I don't pay any attention whatsoever to what the terror color is. And the mainstream media is a joke. If that is what the public is basing their news on, then no wonder much of the world finds Americans dumb
  11. this thread reminds me of a Bill Hicks rannt- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs-nHQYY6Fg Watch the !@#$ing news man, it's frightening. What could be worse. You watch the news these days you know, it's unbelievable. You think you you just walk out your door, you're immediately going to be raped by some crack-addicted, Aids-infected, pit-bull, you know. Horrible news stories, you know. "Honey, I'm gonna check the mail... "Rrrrar, rrrrar, rrrrar, rrrrar, rrrrar!" [mimes being attacked by a pitbull] "Whaddya we stay inside tonight baby? Let the pizza delivery guy deal with that **** out there. Hello, pizza delivery, could you send another car over please. I know that's your third one, that last guy almost made it. I can almost reach the pizza with the broom handle. How come those pit bulls are eating your driver but they're not touching that !@#$ing pizza? What do they know that we don't know, hellooo?" Pretty soon we're all gonna be locked inside our homes with no-one on the street but pizza delivery guys and armoured cars with turrets shooting pizzas through the mail-slots of our front doors. Every house will glow with American Gladiators beamed in. "We are free - keep repeating, we are free."
  12. Thomas Smith, Antoine Winfield, Nate Clements......then we have the high round picks that sucked and let them walk- James Williams, Traveres Tillman...then we have the low round db picks that are good and we let walk- Kurt Shultz, Jim Leonard...
  13. fear mongering and scare tactics. Feel free to turn back on fox news propaganda
  14. good call. I have really come to appreciate Lou Reed and Velvet Underground. Recently I have rediscovered the album New York. Tremendous
  15. Dennis Leary. Is this word association? First word that comes to mind- thief. It is well know he has been stealing Bill Hicks material. For example- the bit where Jim Fixx keels over from a heart attack, and probably found by a smoker
  16. are you insinuating Asange is dictating foreign policy now? If not, please stick with the context. Big difference between free speech and forcing a false war in the name of capitalism
  17. Watergate has nothing on the lies, deception, megalomania, and absolute disregard of the constitution, nor concern for our troops that was the Iraq cluster!@#$. Assange deserves a statue. Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz deserve to be treated like Ceausescu or Milosovec. Add Henry Kissenger to the despicable scumbags that have dictated our foreign policy without consent of congress or the American people
  18. !@#$ Rumsfeld, Cheney, and Wolfowitz! They are evil, not Assange. If you got nothing to hide then full disclosure should be no big deal
  19. I watched the whole series today and it is incredible IMO! I watched it on netflix streaming, but it is on you tube too
  20. I have a good one
  21. "found him - he was burried on my Madden 2001"
