Since you guys brought up this DR classic...

I can set my own fractures.

I have stiched my own wounds since I was a child.

I pull my own teeth. Regularly file others.

Knew I had cancer 2 years before any doctor (pain meds).

If I am injured to the point of death, there are explicit demands to not use life saving measures, including blood transfusions.

At least 7 scull fractures. Double shattered mandable in a bar fight(very painful). 2 heart attacks. Tossed from a moving vehicle twice. Run over by a car or truck 2 times. Whooping cough, measels, mumps(8-9 times)pox. survived a 5.5 grain dose of methaqualone sulphate.

I work 7 days a week, on an average of 4 hrs. sleep a night. I work in -20 to 120 f, year round.

I dont wear watches, because they quit working in a matter of seconds, and are non-repairable.

I dont wear any jewelry, as they leave burn marks on my body, if worn more than a few minutes. Most electronic equipment goes berserck when I am present. I can knock a grown man to the ground( static charge)just by shaking his hand. I don't shake many hands.

I stand 5'8" tall, weight of 205, a 31 inch waist, 48-18 shirt. I eat at least 10000 calories, plus 1 pound of chocolate, every day, for at least the last 25-30 years.

I scare doctors.

I'm going to take the liberty of re-posting a earlier post written by NUTCASE (on another thread) who I thought did a terrific job of summing up the entire mortgage mess fueled by the crooks on Wall Street and their partners in crime - the banksters.

And this mortgage meltdown all became possible when a few Republican Senators managed to gut the Glass-Steagall Act thereby eliminating all the banking rules and regulations which had previously been put in place to prevent banks from becoming investors.

Steal Trillions, pay a $26 billion fine. This is one crooked business plan, one of many they exercised with impunity. Defraud hundreds of thousands with loans that convert suddenly to variable rate doubling and tripling payments, bundle subprime mortgages AAA rated based on fraudulent variable rates people did not realize they had signed up for, foreclose on your customers with forged documents, buyback the subprime shit from the Fed and Treasury for five cents on the dollar in auctions only available to the perpetrators of the fraud.

You two need to get a room. lol

So this guy is bragging he doesn't need any help from the government yet he's got both hands out grabbing free school breakfasts/lunches for his three kids, gets back thousands in an earned-income tax credit for each kid, and doesn't have any qualms about Medicare paying for his Mom's two hip surgeries.

And if this dude has a low enough income that he qualifies for his kids' free school breakfasts/lunches, then how is he also able to afford to donate free t-shirts to his neighbor's Tea Party campaign?

What a phoney, lying, and hypocritical windbag this Tea Party suck-up is.

Not abandoned, just relocated.

#6 - I think saying "the left" in my first sentence would have been a better choice of words than my use of the word "liberals." They do not always mean one and the same.

psychedelic-colored fur -- cool

Those pre-historic Native American burial sites should be left intact and undisturbed. We have plenty of space elsewhere to build solar farms. Use that land instead. Keeping all of our nation's historical preserves, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem, is important to our heritage.

Bob Vandervoort is director of ProEnglish, an advocacy group that hopes to outlaw U.S. classes or legislative sessions in any language other than English. It is his connection to a group called Chicagoland Friends of American Renaissance, however, that liberal critics claim marks out Vandervoort as a dangerous right wing radical....

"White nationalist" my butt. Liberals always seem to try and make anything which is pro-American -- such as this country having English as it's national language -- appear as though it's "racist and evil" in nature.

And what's wrong with being a "nationalist" anyway when it comes to teaching children in the ENGLISH language -- now proven to be the best method in helping them to learn in school.

California tried - and miserably failed -- at educating children who spoke English as a second language through use of bilingual classes at school. The graduation rate of those kids was dismal. Californians, fed up with thousands of those kids being unable to graduate, then voted in Proposition 227 to use English-submersion classes in order to teach them and it's proven so far to be much more successful.

Get out the anti-histamines and kleenex.

the CPAC contingent this week will include Peter Brimelow, the notorious race-baiting activist who founded VDARE.com, an anti-illegal immigration website that has long been described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate site....

There. Added that rather important little word you were missing.

No group is more of a hate site and racist -- and wants to destroy this nation's sovereignty with unfettered illegal immigration and wide open borders -- than the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The SPLA also continually whines for the need to have more mulitculturalism in this country. And I think we've all seen how well that worked when the EU eliminated borders shoved multiculturalism down the Europeans' throat.

Don't be fooled by their misleading name. The SPLA is just as racist and destructive in its own right as some of the more radial conservative groups might be in theirs.

All balls, except volleyballs, are also forbidden on pain of the same penalty, and children digging a hole anything deeper than 18in could also land their parents in trouble.

When a frisbee is thrown, the guy who's catching it normally has his eyes focused up in the air and half the time is running backwards so those in his path laying on the beach usually get trampled. So, yeah, frisbee throwers need their own area to play.

As for the kiddies digging holes in the sand, all would be okay IF the parents made sure those holes were refilled with sand again when their kids were done playing -- but that never happens. So it's easy for others to trip and break their ankle or whatever in some hole that's more than a foot and a half deep -- especially if the tide has come in since the hole was dug so it wasn't easily seen.

Likely L.A. County has had more than it's fair share of lawsuits from folks visiting L.A. County beaches who got wacked in the head by a frisbee or broke a leg in some big hole left in the sand. Probably why these penalties were put in place.

She'll always be remembered for this song...her best.

Wow. All I said was it would likely solve a lot of problems with a majority of people if we allow gays to wed in a federally-sanctioned "civil union" (which would afford them all the legal benefits given to a heterosexual marriage) and gays would then agree to quit insisting on their use of the term "marriage" -- and that makes me a hate-filled, bigoted shrew.

I have to believe, then, it's really not equal rights at all some of the more activist gays want but just to be able to stick it to the MAJORITY of society who look at a "marriage" as also having a sacred and religious aspects (which includes most religions' definition of "marriage" as being between one man and one woman).

Sorry, but you will NEVER get the majority of people to look at same sex marriages as being equal in every single respect as one man marrying one woman. Society is NOT going to throw out overnight what's been the norm for thousands of years. You gay activists need to understand you have to allow people to keep those parts of their traditional identities they see as being very important to them and accept the advances you've made so far. Let people get used to the idea of gay civil unions first. If you get too greedy and demand everything NOW then you make a majority of the people want to push back.

Hell, three or four years ago I wasn't even in favor of civil unions but after getting to know some of the gay folks on here and having more of an appreciation and understanding for their points of view, I changed my mind. Not bad for a bigoted, mean bitch, huh?

Good post (#61), Salamangator.
I think you pretty much said how most people feel about the issue.

And I still maintain you can NEVER duplicate the special charisma, chemistry, and energy which just comes naturally in any relationship between a man and a woman. Ying and yang.

While two men can honestly have love for each other and bond in a relationship -- you can't change male hormones and sex drive nor the male's natural urge for sex with more than one partner - those are facts. Sure, men in a heterosexual marriage will still have the same male urges, but the female counterpart is not as sexually charged so the chances of her demanding -- and getting -- fidelity in their marriage is much higher. Which leads to most heterosexual marriages usually lasting much longer and overall being a lot more stable -- especially for any children involved.

Most people look at "marriage" as being a sacrament and having religious blessings attached to it -- and due to their religious beliefs -- strongly believe the term "marriage" should apply only to a union between one man and one woman.

My question --

If, as gays maintain all the time -- they only want the same legal benefits and rights which are accorded heterosexual marriages -- would gays accept not using the term "marriage" when they wed and be satisfied with calling it a "civil union" IF their "civil union" was accorded the same nationwide federal recognition (complete with all the same benefits) now given to heterosexual "marriages"?

I believe if gays would just quit demanding that their union be called a "marriage" and instead accept a national federally recognized "civil union" (with all the same benefits) then their chances of gaining a much more wide-spread acceptance would be greatly improved.

However, if gays continued to insist on using the more religious term of "marriage" to describe their union simply because they want to get their own way, then one has to honestly doubt their sincerity about wanting to wed because they love each other.

I'd really like to read some opinions from others on here as to why a federally-recognized "civil union" (giving gays all the same federal benefits but leaving out calling it a "marriage") would or would not be acceptable to them

...But the constituency for plural marriage is much, much higher. And they'll be using all the same arguments you do, albeit without the annoying early line breaks.

I have to agree with you on that one, RightisRight.

Once the door is open to one group to no longer recognize traditional marriage as being between only one man and one woman then those pushing for legally allowing heterosexual poligamy would be the next issue.

If Ellen DeGeneres isn't openly flaunting her being a lesbian in those J.C. Penny commercials, then what's the problem? That "Million Moms" group surely can find something a lot more productive to do with their time and energy.

I wonder what Joe would have to say about all this...

Joseph Gayetty is widely credited with being the inventor of modern commercially available toilet paper in the United States. Gayetty's paper, first introduced in 1857, was available as late as the 1920s. Gayetty's Medicated Paper was sold in packages of flat sheets, watermarked with the inventor's name. Original advertisements for the product used the tagline "The greatest necessity of the age! Gayetty's medicated paper for the water-closet."

Seth Wheeler of Albany, New York, obtained the earliest United States patents for toilet paper and dispensers, the types of which eventually were in common usage in that country, in 1883.

I thought a falafel was some kind of bakery good or dessert.

This guy can kiss his butt adios for good if he's being tried for murder in Mexico's legal system.

Dos Equis?

Well howdy there, Gimme. So have you been being a good boy lately?

I think I already know the answer to that one. lol
