Jill You are truly a Saint. I only wish that there were more people like you in this world. It bothers me that folks don't seem to care for one another as they once did in days past. Neighbors don't even talk to one another over the back fence these days. Dharmagrl, Your neighbors suck, and should be ashamed of themselves.

Is THIS the World Series? in Sports & Leisure JoeUser Forums

I guess the real, World Series, was between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox, as most fans across the country originally thought. Some sports writers were trying to hype this series, but most people knew that they were just trying to sell newspapers. Poor St. Louis. They have to be mortified. They've worked all year to get to this point, on

FLORIDA..........Again??? in Politics JoeUser Forums

I've read several articles regarding Florida, and how they may have not worked out all the kinks yet in their voting system. Excuse Me!!!!! (Disclaimer: This Post is in no way meant to pass judgement or insult the citizenship of Florida. You are merely functioning in the system as it exists.) I am astounded at the fact that Flori

I've noticed this more and more these days. The, Race Card, is a convenient tool when nothing else seems to fit. It's like having an, Ace, in the hole. How come there are no other cards that any of us might draw upon?

d3adz0mbie I don't know about the knife fight thing. Nothing against Texas, but Bush might try to figure out how to get out of that one. He isn't much for going into combat himself ya know.

Reply to Am I the only one who doesn't like spinners? in Politics JoeUser Forums

Yes, I totally agree. The spin doctors are useless. Like their going to say, "well, our guy really, stepped in it, tonight." Yeah right! I have no clue why the networks defer to these people after a debate. I don't give a, flying s--t, what Karen Hughs or Hillery Clinton have to say. Hell, we have a hard enough time as it is to get the candidates to tell the truth. These puppy dogs are only going to regurjitate their party song. </font

Having only, tax payers, being allowed to vote? Now there's a plan. Just put most of the, middle class, out of work, ergo, the big guys will always win. What??? .............and the poor? Well that's out of the question. They should not be allowed within a six block radius of a voting booth. Oh, and lets get rid of all the voters that happened to be left-handed as well. I mean, the, left, is the, left, and you never know w

Good for you! You got back on the horse, after you fell off. You should be proud of yourself. I live on my bike during the summer. I do most of my errands on my bike. Well, except when I have to pick up some big stuff.

I haven't been there in while. Do they still have the, jousting, and other skits? I went when my kid were younger. We bought all kinds of stuff for them. Big mistake! Although my one son still has this, staff, that we got there and displays it at his digs. Most of the, walking around, MRF Cast, have to buy their own costumes. The performers, have them supplied. That garb is not cheap, believe me. During the winter months, the

Reply to NOW it's gone too far! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Personal attacks should not be tolerated. Lets face it, nobody is liked by everybody. But that shouldn't mean that they are permitted to speuw their hateful venom in a public forum. I wonder how professional journalist's handle negative email? At least it's not made available to the public in an open forum.

Gideon Regarding Unions! I do not wish to elaborate on this topic as it is a Red Herring for sure. There are volumes that can be read and discussed on the pro's and con's involving unions. However, I will say this; I believe that China to name but one and several other eastern and middle eastern nations, need to be allowed to develope and pursue unions.

Reply to A CAR SALESMAN, The Life of: in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Ah-hah! I forgot to mention about the "stupid salesman." Many of the veterans of the business have left because, dealership owners, changed their. pay-plans. That's an, article, all by itself. But to keep it simple, what that means is, a salesman had to sell more cars to make the same money he did last year. So in essence, the experienced person would get out of the business and be replaced by a younger guy, that knew nothng

Myrrander Yes, I can remember that being said about Gore. Didn't understand exactly what was meant by it though. But I can appreciate that perspective.

Myrrander You've made an interesting point! So how did 9/11 change the landscape for Gore? little-whip Billary????? Never heard that one before. So the "Dems" were willing to waste 4 more years, so Ms. Clinton could run in 2008

Should the DEMS have run Gore, Again? in Politics JoeUser Forums

I'm thinking, the Democrats sent the wrong guy to run for President. I've been thinking this for some time. But now I've come up with a different perspective. Who might of been the, right guy? Were the DEMS, armed with a, right guy? Maybe they should have run V.P. Gore for President again. I mean, Gore's stump speach could b

Your article makes a valid point. A bit extreme, but never the less it made sense. I believe that if each of us does a little, no one has to really hurt themselves. Zippo Lighters, Harley Davison Motor Cylces, Craftman Tools, and anything else that I can find American. Don't shop at Wal-Mart either. I don't buy Levi's any more either. No, I don't belong to a union but can understand their purpose. Sorry, I'm

I have a friend that sells new cars. Actually, I have a couple of friends that are car salesman. Anyway, they've complained to me more times, then I would like to remember.
