The question is when did it lose its intellect? How many times have people used their for they're, your for you're. My new favorite is: "there's too many posters on this board who mess up the English language on a daily basis." The best part will be that the majority of the posters here will be scratching their heads thinking, "so what's wrong with that sentence?"

Blame the people who WON'T take the jobs and the COMPANIES who hire the illegals - they love then because they don't have to pay them squat and they're so grateful for the jobs they can be used almost like slaves.
There has been outrage over that for a long time - it's nothing new. The outrage hasn't been over the illegals taking the jobs because as stated previously most American's won't take them, but rather over the companies who exploit these people.
Who, by the way, don't always feel exploited. To many of them just the ability to break their back 12+ hours a day to earn ANYTHING is the most wonderful feeling in the world.
I agree. If we cracked down on companies who hired illegal immigrants, and yes that includes the restaurant industry I was a part of for 25 years, we'd eliminate the incentive for those illegals to come here. That is the ONLY way to solve this problem.

How come you never here the crowd that is freaking out about the outsourcing of jobs to other countries not freaking out about the outsourcing of jobs to illegal immigrants? It's the same thing. As a matter of fact the crowd that's freaking out about the outsourcing is actually advocating the issuing of driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. And don't give me that crap about they're just doing the jobs real Americans don't want. By a show of hands how many of you would line up for a telemarketing position? And if any of you respond to that question with "if that were the only job available I would". Then why not line up to pick lettuce if THAT were the only job available? I bet you would.

My father had a quadruple bypass a couple of years ago in his early 70's. The operation was in January and the doctor said no skiing until next year. Yeah right. He was out there in March skiing up a storm.
Makes me wonder about my situation that I mentioned a couple of days ago. Had a stress test yesterday and there are some "areas of concern."
These bypass surgeries are like oil changes these days, but here's to a speedy recovery to President Clinton.

My question is, how would/should the US respond if this were to happen in our country? Who do you go after? I mean to target and kill children.

Not a problem Cincy. Sounds rather harmless. But keep us posted anyway.
As far as my heart thing, I was strapped to a monitor for 24 hours and had about 1200 "episodes" Dr says they are most likely premature ventrical contractions. Sound a lot worse than they are. Can really be harmless but when you feel your heart pound hard once, then not beat for a full second, then a hard beat again is just a bit concerning.

No on the Vodka.........yes on the Rum! Zero (or close to) carbs in Rum, which is weird seeing it's made from sugar cane.
But take it from the Chef, the Atkins diet is not right. What it shows is the sedentary lifestlye we live. Where else can you eat all the meat and bacon you want, lie on the couch and still lose weight.

Keep us posted Cincy. Hope all goes well. Personally I'm having heart issues, taking a stress test on Thursday. See what you folks do to us.

Here is what you said about the left on the board:
"1. They have nothing to add anymore.
2. They realize their guy is in deep stevestojan.
3. They can't compete.
4. They're all on their way to NY in their best hippy gear to create chaos"
Lets see now, all you said is that we are a bunch of hippies who can't compete because we are full of sh*t and have nothing else to offer.
Gee, now why would I take that as an insult? Is that what you consider to be a cordial invitation to a meaningful exchange of ideas? Is this what you call mature? Look,
I said you were full of stevestojan??? You know Mick, I've read my post a few times and can't quite figure out where I wrote that. Calling you a hippy is an insult?? Damn, I was one 30 years ago. I guess you're just easily offended.....sorry.

It that happens I'm out of here. Not the board, the whole damn country. The bull crap that we would have to face for another four years would be unbearable. Goodbye SoCal house, hello sailboat in the Caribbean.

Now THERE is an important basis for choosing a President. Not examining records or anything.
Gore's sighing WAS exasperating and annoying and I was disgusted and embarrassed for him. But I certainly didn't base my vote on that any more than I would have Bush's folksy style (as I said at the time, he's gonna aw-shucks his way right to the White House and people are going to be sorry they fell for it).
Yes, someone who exasperates, annoys, disgusts, and embarrasses me (see we do agree on things
) is an important basis for choosing a President. Could you imagine him in a conference with world leaders and pulling that childish act with someone he didn't agree with? Not me. That's why, at the minute, he lost my vote. -
Take this thread for example. The basic theme is that the left has been a little quiet lately and the conclusion from that unproved, anecdotal piece of pure guesswork, is a list of insults aimed at everyone from the left. Those insults were authored by you and now here you are complaining that people on the left are sound byte oriented and have little to offer. If you do not see the screaming hypocrisy of that there is no point in even attempting to have a dialouge with you.
I saw this thread started a few days ago and I never went past your post. It was clear that it was yet another insult the left party here at the PPP likely to draw the snickering applause of the typical candidates so I didn't waste my time reading any further. I checked it out today because I saw that blzrul had entered the fray so I wanted to see what creative new insults were tossed at her.
If you are truly wondering why there aren't more meaningful exchanges of information and ideas here at the PPP, just re-read your post starting this thread and that should explain it to you.
My original post was in insult to the left?? Wow Mick, time to thicken up that skin a bit. Sorry if you felt that way, didn't mean it as an insult and after re-reading it, it sure didn't sound too insulting. If you were insulted, maybe it hit too close to home...

I saw a great quote from Margret Carlson from CNN's The Capital Gang in today's Orange County Register.
"When I break down on the road, I always hope a Republican stops. He'll actually jump the battery, whereas a Democrat would rather call a tow truck and promise to create Consumers Against Roadside Emergencies to study the problem."

We can't nor should we. And that pertains to all the networks now. Yes, Fox news included. The all lost credibility with me a LONG time ago.
