That's society in general ... by and large, we're a victim society ... no one takes personal responsibility for anything, including parenting, so they think that they can dump their kids off in front of a tv all day ... then dump them off at school and it's the government's job to teach them ... while at the same time liberal wackos have turned schools into social engineering experiments. My wife is a public school teacher, I see how hard of a job it is, especially when they come up with the "miracle" new program that is supossed to fix everything that is wrong with our educational system. Case in point, I graduated high school in New York when a Regents diploma was something to be earned. But that wasn't fair because not everyone can get one, and we don't want to hurt their feelings, so let's give them to everyone ... only not everyone can meet the standards, so let's lower the standards. So now, instead of having something to recognize students who excel, you have something that is meaningless. Crap like this is why we're glad to send our kids to a private school. Don't blame the teachers, they're trying to the best that they can with what they're given.

Yupper, same here, then the week after I'm on the road for a couple days (always good to get out of the office), then a week of vaca ... July is shaping up to be a good month.

We've been going about this all wrong! This Mr. Stay-Puft isn't so bad. He's a sailor, he's in New York; we get this guy laid, we won't have any trouble!

We're headed for a disaster of biblical proportions ... Old Testament, real wrath-of-God type stuff! Fire and brimstone coming down from the sky! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes... The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!

Speaking of hell, you're all going there if you don't stop this thread ...

Isn't the answer to your question obvious?

Last one to wish Rfeynman a happy birthday wins. Game on!

ANOTHER reason I'm glad that I send my kids to a private school!

Nice try ... just one question ... which one are you? Steve Chen, Chad Hurley or Jawed Karim? Enquiring minds really want to know!

Don't worry Mrs. Brown, your son will get a chance some day.

Happy Birthday to you ... Happy Birthday to you ... You look like a jackass, and post like one too. Cheers!

Good point ... let us know if you need our help John

This is why ...

Nice! I'm only 15 years in, I should do it now while I can still get off pretty cheap ... I didn't feel anything different when I hit 40 ... or 30 either ... it's just a number

Yeah, I'm going with a big fat "NO" on that one.

I agree, I can't totally call it a mid-life crisis when I'm still sporting a kid's booster seat in the back of the Challenger ... LOL My wife has been asking for an "Eternity ring" ... I guess it's where the stones go all around the band ... jewlery is always a safe bet

My most sincere condolences on your loss. Though I probably have another 40+ years, WNY is getting a national cemetary, so I would like to be buried there.

Here's what I picked.

Yeah ... this could end badly ... very, VERY badly.

But why the h-e- double hockey sticks would anyone want to use it as a phone. Epic Fail Mr. Jobs.

Duh ... It only lasted 20 seconds ... who would be proud of that?!?

Different time ... if that happened now, poor guy would've been arrested and sued for sexual harassment.

Speaking for ... well ... everyone ... we don't want to hear about what you want to put where!
