Goooood morning, LGF! :-)

MWAH!

Jay-zus! Are they still going at it in the other thread?

Old Chinese proverb... No decision is decision.

Fenway! :-)

It would seem so.

re: #5 littleoldlady

And there I was lamenting the reappearence of Aaron McGruder's Rev. Wright-esque dreck on Cartoon Network earlier tonight as the proverbial shir hit the proverbial bladed cooling device.

Good morning all.

Gee, I wish Lopez Obrador (Our domestic Gore +more evil) would read that.
He's engaged in disloyal subversionh right now.

I remember a commercial in the early 70s featuring this song in the background of black and white children playing together.

Can't we all agree to start from that point and move forward?

It is finally Friday ! Wooohoooo

I love this song, although is a little kumbayaish lol
Did you see the Indian Pretty Woman?

re: #12 goddessoftheclassroom

Great song! Simpler times...

Great song! Simpler times...

Simpler times.
One of the best descriptions of what's been happening all along, in only two words! that I've seen in my life.

A great day !

It was only simpler because we were younger. We know too much now.

Yeah, I always thought that was Rush. But could William James play the bass like Getty Lee?

Life is a lot more complicated now than then, for all ages.
A couple of months ago, my son and d.i.l. were talking about living in another city. My 4 y/o grandaughter said: "Then you have to buy me a cell" They said: "why".
"So I can text my friends!"
She was four -(five now)

I see some GMTA.

re: #24 MigueldowninMexico

You got that right. Our kids are exposed to so much more now. I liken it to trying to steer them through a field that at one time was dotted with garbage but is now filled with it and only narrow paths left.

Uh oh. Over my quota.

Good bye, Visigoth Teacher!

re: #40 MigueldowninMexico

I was sitting on my hands the last thread. First, it's never a good idea for me to comment on Europe, all things considered. It's not only that Charles might ban me after lo, these many years, but I live in fear of saying something that might embarrass him and LGF.

Aside from that I'm seriously afflicted with the "bread of our affliction" today. I really shouldn't say anything!

Good morning all -- already 65 degrees as the sun also rises over Chamblee with an expected high of 78. If it weren't for the dadgummed pollen, it would be perfect weather.

Missed the "genocide" thread, though I'd heard it was coming down the pike. Haven't looked over there yet -- and Troll-b-que's on it?

HAVE FUN AT THE BALL, GOTC!

Have a great day, goddess! :-)

Morning all. Another gorgeous day here in Virginia.
The day after the CIA blows the whistle on North Korea's nucular profliferation, the WaPo op ed page is full of stories about- Hillary vs.Obama. It's a bad telenovela.
It's 1938 and the Martians have landed in Grovers Corners.

Morning Lizards from a cold and dark Twin Falls. So GoV finally has finally succumbed to the dark side. Not surprising, but not pleasant to see. :-(

If these weren't such troubling times this whole thing would be a fascinating lesson in the democratic system just as in the last two elections. I was riveted to the television back then though. This is exhausting.

Look, twat...you're simply too ignorant and stupid to talk to. You would have to have that third brain cell over and above the two you need to breathe in and out to make it worthwhile to talk to you. No question you can possibly have could be simple enough for you to grasp the answer to.

Speaking plainly, you're a dumb fuck, all right. I can't help you. No one can. Next incarnation, ask for a mind rather than a larger asshole to accomodate a bigger dick.

That simple enough for you, Marco?

re: #66 MandyManners

Yeah, I read that. Charming, but I don't think that's who he was referring to.

Good morning and oh happy day... it's Friday! I think NW Florida almost skipped spring it's 65 degrees and only 6am.

I hadn't read that. Gah. What a nasty bit of work.

I'm surprised that only got one ding down -- I guess most everyone was already asleep.

re: #86 mama winger

Cute, though it reminds me of Fred's nightmare about Pebbles and BamBam.

I go in to do my new hire stuff this morning today after my allergy shot, I went shopping last night so that I could morph from a pool queen into a teacher. I'm excited, they're starting me in the middle and I got a free hand with lesson plans.

Whoo hoo, things aren't that bad here in the old US, I went looking for a job, put in one app and three resumes, and got two. I'll be working full time with the developmentally disabled, and I took on a part time 99 year old, plus I'll still be the pool operator at my Y... looking forward to getting the weekends back for myself and doing some fishing.

re: #99 littleoldlady

You know us old men, always take the cleanest interpretation of the statement. I got blamed for the tick the Queen found on her, then mini-mom had a TickattackToe. I had to point out to her that they took the neighbor kids and the dog on the walk.

Now there's probably ticks on my "furry son". Do I get to blame back, or is that not such a good idea considering the distance I could fall from the Penthouse to the outhouse?

re: #101 MandyManners

Thanks Mandy... I guess one of the benefits of living in a smaller community... my reputation preceded me and they knew who I was and what I had been doing for the Y. A big complement, I hope I can live up to it and do a really good job.

re: #107 ibmkeyboard

That doesn't sell papers! Their readers don't want to decipher codes, they want to be told in simple plain words that they are right and should (no - must) feel good about themselves.

Oh Yeah, the Lillies. They like lots of sun, but will still be ok with some. I'm sure if you go look at them often enough, they'll get their fill of radiance. Talloldman probably gets sunburn

re: #112 littleoldlady

Did you write Brad Paisley's song "Ticks", cause that sounds like the same procedure to me. Maybe my bride will need some help in that DEPT. I'll have to wait till they look like M&M's on me I guess.

re: #116 MandyManners

Tender ticks? Ew.

No, the grooming is the tender part. Ticks actually sort of crunchy.

re: #117 MandyManners

Very likely. OK, Hi Ho, Hi Ho and all that jazz.

Cleeeaaaannn.

And the thread has progressed to ticks. My skin is clean! No Ticks!

If they're anything like the one's I've been working with over the past 6 years... I'd say they're too self involved to focus on their work.

re: #114 LindaMarie

It's really funny to watch.

I went to the site that LGF had advertised with the youtube video of a speech with Ronnie Reagan. (circa 1964). There was a link to another video with a video from Barry Goldwater (or something like that) circa same period. And in the comments column there is a moron advocating both Obama and Socialism as possible solutions to the current USA.

What the truck?

Socialism, a failed idealism that seems destined to fail EVERY time its implemented because its only implemented the wrong way (its been tried in various formats to date at least 6 times with abject failiure in the last 150 years). And then Obama again .. who stands for what .. ?

I want to retire to a poppy field in Afghanistan someday, and in the meantime i'll put up with these clowns. But any more of this .....

Have you considered the possibility that they are both lazy and thick?

Lefties make my blood boil, followed by Bigel people and then socialists who want to save the world by eliminating half on it.

Just venting .. sorry.

You don't want the poppy field - believe me.
I do understand your frustration.

Since I walk the Dog everyday in the woods, I have to check him daily. Golden Retreivers hide them well, I usually don't find them till they fill up.

Good morning Lizard...........

From my understanding .. any member of my family who has been to Bombay has come back with some sort of instant .. side-effect.

Illness .. food poisoning ... and even some unknown disease that really didnt have a name until about four years AFTER she caught it.

I don't think socialism can be implemented correctly at all because it is based on a flawed analysis of human nature.

As you know, greed is a part of human nature. We're selfish little snots but, we're also giving little snots.

re: #146 MandyManners

I don't think socialism can be implemented correctly at all because it is based on a flawed analysis of human nature.

Funny how the biggest advocates of socialism are usually those who also advocate atheism, the evolution of man. Yet they constantly fail to note that the "Evolution" of man is fully 100 percent predicated on the need of man to kill and eat.

re: #151 galloping granny

Right! That were not all equal but we are all the same!

Some of us are giving snots Mandy. I also happen to think that there is and always has been a fundamental difference between the way the Americans think and the way the Europeans think. So ingrained from birth that it might almost be mistaken for genetics.

Life in Kabul. Just got the following email. Can you even image the up roar in NY or Chicago or any other American city? And this is a city of 5 million people. Boggles the mind.

"Dear All,

Hereby you are informed that the KIA (Kabul International Airport) will be closed from 5:00 PM SAT till later on Sunday 27th April which affect our operation in cancellation of flights, if you have any question please let me know.

Thank you,

Whoa........... parasitical penises... or Penis parasites.... Nope not good subjects........

Socialism and its backdoor .. the Greens.

i got tired with 'the cause' when Rwanda happened. These people were sitting fretting about the fkin gorillas, meantime thousands of people were getting massacred in the villages and streets below.

Then you have these loonies promoting someone who is actively suggesting the idea of eliminating 90% of the worlds population to save the other 10% .......

Need i mention the current world food crisis brought on by the need to invest big in biofuels? Whole countries starving because the corn, soy is all being turned from food into fuel ......

/i'm getting it all out.

re: #93 MandyManners

Yeah, TomKrapman is a troll. He took extreme offense at SaDM's pointed question.

No, as a matter of fact I didn't. I'm not even offended by your little juvenile play on my name. I do, however, object to being called 'bitch," or "slut," or being told to bend over and pick up the soap. Unduly touchy of me, I suppose.

re: #150 LindaMarie

I think so too. Sharing. Care to expand on that. I would like to hear your thoughts on it.

Our natures are both selfish and caring. We're born knowing only how to take and through early nurturance we learn how to give. I truly wonder if most socialists/Marxists had happy childhoods, ones in which they were allowed to be the utter center of the universe and then taught to consider others.

Maybe it is all about feeding and pooping at an early age.

Gah. I'd love to have the time to really get into it but, I gotta' get ready in a minute to take The Kid to school.

No, as a matter of fact I didn't. I'm not even offended by your little juvenile play on my name. I do, however, object to being called 'bitch," or "slut," or being told to bend over and pick up the soap. Unduly touchy of me, I suppose.

Something tells me you're a Euro.

Good morning Lizards!

re: #165 MandyManners

Our natures are both selfish and caring. We're born knowing only how to take and through early nurturance we learn how to give. I truly wonder if most socialists/Marxists had happy childhoods, ones in which they were allowed to be the utter center of the universe and then taught to consider others.

Maybe it is all about feeding and pooping at an early age.

Gah. I'd love to have the time to really get into it but, I gotta' get ready in a minute to take The Kid to school.

Socialists/Marxists are people in the deepest of denial, having rejected god, they are forced to believe in the most improbable and ridiculous of theories...

Equality is not the same as sameness.

That was the point I was trying to make, and at the same time agreeing with you. I should have been more clear. Socialism is a flawed analysis because it bases it belief that we are not equal but all the same.

Yup, just plain bat shit crazy.........If human nature evolved over millions of years, then conflict is hardwired into our genes. Survival of the fittest being a genetic trait means that the Socialist/Marxist Utopian dream of equality is a physical impossibility for the human species.

Since according to evolutionary theory significant physical traits take hundreds of thousands to millions of years to develop any attempt to force the Socialist/Marxist Utopian dream upon mankind means inflicting the human race with untold misery for hundreds of thousands to millions of years while those traits which would allow the Socialist/Marxist Utopian dream to flourish are developed.

re: #170 doriangrey

They are also thieves. They want to use the power of the government to confiscate your assets and give it to themselves. They use high sounding language like "universal health care" and such but that's what it's all about. To take what is yours, and make it theirs.

Both socialists and communists have the same end result in mind, specifically the public ownership (and they define themselves as "the public") of the private means of production.

They just disagree on how best to do that. Commmunists do it with a gun and prisions. Socialists do it with government regulation/confiscatory policies disguised as free services.

Heil Heil Ziggity Heil!

I don't buy that socialism/communism is even a Utopian dream of equality. I think it is just another way to say "we are all created equal but some of us are more equal than others and entitled to much more." Just another con job to present a nation with a renewed & enlarged serf class by eliminating the middle class and concentrating all wealth in the hands of the "state" controlled by the powerful few.

'Independent' writer wins Orwell award

Friday, 25 April 2008

The Independent columnist and reporter Johann Hari has won the Orwell Prize for political writing, the award's judges announced last night. The prize, inaugurated in 1993 and given annually to a journalist and to an author, aims to reward those who have come closest to achieving George Orwell's aim of making "political writing into an art". The judges called his work, "elegant and effective political analysis".

The book prize went to the Palestinian human rights activist Raja Shehadeh.

I do not disagree with that assessment in the slightest. The Utopian dream of equality is just the selling point for their ideology. First they sell themselves on the supposed benevolent nature of their ideology including of course themselves as magnanimous and benevolent stewards of societies resources. Then they sell the unwashed and illiterate masses on the need to be under the magnanimous and benevolent stewardship of individuals such as themselves.
