I have come to detest all professional sports. I limit my enthusiasm for colleges that I have an emotional appeal for. (LSU) I just today heard about Tyrell's contract 'problems.' He should be told to go get a real job for a year, and then come back and decide if fifty million bucks sounds...

Question - How did this "peanut allergy" problem first emerge? I lived for over fifty years before I first heard of it. And then, I really thought it was a joke. Is there something that happend in the past 20 or so years that changed peanut chemistry? Or has there been a change in the human...

Did they fix the fuel guage problem? The last I heard they were going to launch without a valid reading. :confused3 This makes no sense to me at all. I can not imagine lauching that thing without every measurement being working properly at liftoff. I heard the launch date was set again, but...

oops "a natural exclamation" [OED] of surprise at doing something awkward, but only attested from 1933. whoops exclamation of dismay, 1925, variant of oops.

Nope - France was not right. France was corrupt, and were being bought by Saddam to keep his regime safe, so he could continue to rake billions from the UN "oil for food" program and keep paying France their filthy luchre. France was totally dishonorable in their actions. France is the...

Agree - Lance Armstrong is a great athlete - one of the best in history. Tomorrow is the final day - right? Is it true that the last day is primarily ceremonial? Would that mean they will not really be "competing" tomorrow? I heard that Lance was ahead by over four minutes, so I would...

I didn't check your link. But the Irish and Spanish terrorists you cite are pretty specific as to the governments they attack. They have a focus. Not so with the Islamists. They attack any innocents anywhere in western civilization. I have no reason to think that any Irishman or Spaniard...

Well said - and my thoughts exactly

That is my first thought too. When I think back to that age, I would not have been caught dead with one of my cousins. They were worse than sisters. All they were good for was to tattle on you. So, in that regard I would never consider it and would have to think it a little odd. But, on...

Oh I dunno - how about after they start a thirty year activity of killing innocent men, women, and children, specifically targeting the most vulnerable among us, and vow to continue killing us until we are all dead? Maybe then we will act 'scared' of them, too. But I am not 'scared' of them. I...

WOW - I have never heard of this ride. I will certainly abandon my wife for an houur or so and do this one (she hates wet). It sounds just like a Snake River rafting trip I took about thirty years ago. Great fun !!!! I love the wet.

WHEWWW - I have been seeing this thread title and just had to finally read it to be sure. It sounded like you wanted to trade you 2 year old for some sort of pin. Glad to see I was wrong. ;)

If all this is true, this could turn into a monumental snafu. But I will continue to assume the police had adequate reasons for what they did. In the wake of two terrorist attacks, I want the police to act on behalf of the public. What this man did was obviously not 'normal.' I see a lot of...

LOL That captures the man? perfectly.

I agree. I don't have a lot of sympathy for the Muslim "community" at this time. It is obvious that they are not all terrorists. It is equally obvious that they have done diddly squat to denounce terrorism or to cooperate with the police in intercepting terrorist plots. Until the Muslim...

Perfect analogy.

Murder? I have not heard anything in the past several hours. But as I understand it, this man was connected to the prior bombings and the police had a tail on him. From what I have heard of his actions, he fit the profile of a terrorist to the T. Therefore, as soon as the man took evasive...

I think the idea is to make absolutely sure the man's nervous system was totally destroyed in as short a time as possible. If it took 25 shots to reach that assurance, that is ok by me. If you are intending to kill a man in order to prevent any possibility of his being about to activate a bomb...

Amen - Lance is the greatest!!!

I am counting on that. Thanks for the good vibes.
