  1. Is this serious? If so, elaborate.
  2. Would you be fired if you were caught drinking the other popular soft drink?
  3. Do you mind me asking about your path to that?
  4. I have often heard the wine referred to as cat piss--not in a bad way--due to its high acidity.
  5. Some cat piss would really hit the spot.
  6. I'm a law student. I wouldn't call it a job, although I do work and there's a lot of money changing hands.
  7. What sort of company?
  8. Darn it!! Got me again! Your subject was a little misleading.
  9. Do your own job. If it's too hard, let me have it.
  10. What, like baseball fever?
  11. Tacomas are made in Mexico. A large percentage of the Camrys are still imported from Japan. Priuses are made in Japan... Most of the Japanese and Korean factories in the United States were induced to their present locations by wasteful tax breaks. For example, Alabama is paying $100-$200K a year for each Hyundai job from that new plant down there. While factory workers and some engineers are employed in this country by foreign car companies, the profits go back to the HQs in the home countries. The factory workers are paid less, fairly or unfairly. When or if GM and Ford go bankrupt, the pensions will be dumped on to the government (taxpayers to pay.) People can buy whatever cars they want. You are not obligated to buy a car based on where it's from or what company makes it. However, I think it's silly to think that it is more altruistic for people in this country to buy a foreign make rather than a domestic one.
  12. People say that, but what would make you decide that there was a dependable, American car?
  13. People have this opinion and perhaps it's deserved, but much of it comes from past experience and reputation. People maintain this assumption no matter how much American cars improve. An example of how reputations does not always match up with reality: Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe are the same car yet the former has significantly higher resale value.
  14. American car companies have surpassed German manufacturers in quality marks for the past few years.
  15. I don't know if Scientology believes in God. Rather they believe in some 747 and some aliens brainwashing people in volcanoes.
  16. Maybe that was in that episode as well, but the Scientology episode had the strange credits of which you speak. The Catholic League complains. Scientology, on the other hand, will sue.
  17. In 1998, who would have thought that Collins would still be here and RJ would be out of the league?
  18. New England only care about the marginal utility of a player and Moulds is on the downward slope of his career even though I rather he stay. Unless Moulds is willing to come in at a bargain basement price, i.e. $2 mil a year or less, he will not be with the Patriots this coming year.
  19. I'm in. But since I hardly follow college basketball, I am sure my picks look pretty hilarious.
  20. The only question is whether Moulds is worth $5 million or whatever we would save by cutting him. His total number is irrelevant as the other half we will pay either way. I believe that in the current inflated market where a back-up TE with the dropsies can earn $2 million or whatever a year, Moulds is worth what he will cost the Bills.
  21. I am not sure I will ever understand such extreme hatred for someone in political opposition to one's favorite political combatants. It is also difficult for me to understand proclaiming to judge another's life worthy or unworthy for Hell. But I am still fairly young, so there's time for me to learn.
