The whole banning mentality is taking root throughout the states as well. Bloomberg in NY, the state of MD (where even smoking in your own home is regulated), and various others places throughout the country. While I don't begrudge people their smoki...  [Read More]

Frankly, I've no doubt that we may already be involved somewhat at a clandestine level, thus giving a sense of culpable deniability. What's good for the goose and all that rot....  [Read More]

Essentially, SS, the former USSR could have been considered a democracy as well. There were candidates for the people to vote for afterall. Some even argue that western democracy is a fraudulent delusion, at least in terms of suggesting that the peop...  [Read More]

I think that my job is degrading! I have a job at a grocery store, and part of that job includes cleaning toilets and collecting trash. This is as nasty as it gets, my friend. You do not know what "bad" smells like until you've done my job....  [Read More]

No offense, ET, but why not substitute handguns for football. Just like porn, guns are NOT inherently anything. If used promiscuously, though, the damage can be telling. I do agree with you, however, that a lot of the problem tends to lie with the in...  [Read More]

Nah, I think it's just the way you phrase it that seems to earn my "ire". ;) FTR, if you don't write it, I won't point it out. :p We are often on the diametrically opposite side of arguments, but I'm only responding to what's there. When no...  [Read More]

Bah. Porn is entertainment as much as any other medium. As I have noted in other threads I've participated in I am no stranger to 'experience with sexuality' nor am I a stranger to serious relationships. I would say the only thing that has changed ab...  [Read More]

"Deserve" is never the right word for what they make. My only point is that I don't begrudge them for taking what is offered to them for the talents they bring. Basically QFE. Also why I made distinction between deserve and entitled. I wo...  [Read More]

In a word, no. Are they entitled? As much as you or I if we win $100 million in the lottery. By which I mean, you've essentially entered into a contract which states that you'll be given X in exchange for Y. Entertainment is big business, and busines...  [Read More]

No. Nostradamus was an idiot and the Mayans had no idea of knowing this. It's far more creepy that 44% of Americans think the world will end in less than half a century. Where do you get that figure from, anyway? I suspect that in a nation of 300 mi...  [Read More]

I've heard that the Mayan calendar 2012 doesn't actually refer to the world ending, but perhaps a new type of cycle beginning. Problem w/Nostradamus is that you can interpret him a zillion different ways, but ALWAYS w/some kind of 20/20 hindsight. Th...  [Read More]

While that is true, it wasn't so much by 1914. By the beginning of the 20th Century communication and ship transport weren't nearly as primitive. Look what all those entangling alliances did to Europe. Granted, I think some of them would've come to b...  [Read More]
