  1. I think they should use rubber bullets and fire hoses on them daily. The rubber bullets to let them know if they were pulling this ###### in China, Russia, Somalia or 160 other countries in the world the bullets would be real, and the fire hoses to wash the stink off these dirty patchouli smelling hippies with nothing better to do with daddy's money now that phish isn't touring.

     

     

    I slightly agree lol

  2. People who complain about OWS, the 99% movement, etc, without bothering to learn anything about it or what it stands for.

     

    I'm not an activist. I'm don't believe I should get a free pass for the student loan debt I have. But there are a lot of things wrong with the world we live in, where the lower class is very low, and the middle class is getting lower. Stepping past all of the sensationalism, these protests aren't about a bunch of kids who don't want to work hard. It's about the people less fortunate than even them, who are too busy trying to stay alive to join the protest.

     

    Learn something about the world around you before you open your mouth and spout a bunch of ignorant rhetoric. 10 minutes on google and one statistical analogy doesn't make you as smart or clever as you think.

     

    A little humility and critical thinking goes a long way with this whole topic.

     

     

    I dont mind the OCCUPY movement but I can not stand those complaining about the Police and what they term "brutality" I think it is shameful that a few innocent people have been pepper sprayed but COME ON for the most part they have done an amazing job keeping the peace. While everyone in the movement wants to say that this is a PEACEFUL PROTEST there are still those among them that have bad tempers and when one person is like that in a group such as this violence can escalate very quickly and the police have done an amazing job of keeping the occupiers as well as the public safe.

  3. Macallan is delicious

     

     

     

    I was at a Steak and Cigar dinner last week and they had tastings of Johnnie Walker Blue and I would have to say that I thought it was horrible. I dont know what the after taste was I cant really pinpoint it but I am not a fan especially when it retails for over 200

  4. Hooters Buffalo Platter has been running through me for the last 12 hours..... When will I learn?? Also went to a bar last night for a girls B-Day party and the Ex and her new squeeze were there... He has a bolt through his nose, his eyebrow pierced and tats but is fat and short with like spiky anime hair needless to say the exact opposite of me very strange and awkward for most people that were there.

  5. My earlier shenanigans notwithstanding, I agree with you. Nothing but a direct quotation should be in between quotation marks. If alterations are necessary, that's what brackets are for.

     

     

    Thank you that is my main complaint for the season John Wawrow and Lori getting on me and treating me like I was stupid for challenging that and saying it was made up, I am still quite heated about it.

     

     

     

     

    And I have sent him a PM and he first told me he didnt have time and then told me I was being absurd

  6. another complaint mostly about my TBD post that some have seen...

    "They might say it in slightly different ways, but journalistically, our responsibility is to convey the message of the quote accurately. The verbatim isn't nearly as important as is correctly expressing their meaning."

     

    That is a direct quote from Chuck Pollock, the article discusses two different schools of thought on quotation in articles. Which school of thought are you from? While the cliche may be old the quote was put together and changed by Chuck or in other words made up.

    Am i totally wrong? Or can some see where I was coming from?

     

     

    This is the original article if you havent seen it.

  7. My project got its FY13 money zeroed out - effectively killing the program. Now we need to scramble to see if someone else can use this telescope we are building... or else I'm on the hairy edge of looking for a rare job opening in my field.

     

    sigh.

     

     

    Sorry SDS that really blows

  8. I think my complaint for the week is journalists that use quotations around something that shouldnt have quotations. I agree with this statement "I'm one of those people who think quote marks are sacred, and when you are putting quote marks around it, you are telling the reader that this is exactly what the person said."

     

    This got me a lot of complaints on TBD but I still feel that way.

  9. Married chick keeps calling me for "da bang." Not my fault she married older (25+years difference) for money (she did) and there's NO way I'm breaking the sanctity of that vow (her vow not mine).

     

    The calls start at about midnight.

     

    Three times weekly.

     

    And she's hot.

     

    Dammit.

     

    EDIT: Yes, I have said no. And again, and again. Damn this temptress!

     

     

    WOW happened to me one time and I gave in when i was much younger (18) but now just thinking about it makes me full of regret. I dont wanna be in that situation.

     

    However, i am currently talking to a girl that is still dating another guy that is a mutual friend sorta? and its very flirty and probably over the line. But he treats her like ###### and they are supposed to be breaking up? Right now she lives with him rent free and has said she is out as soon as she can get a place of her own. I am hoping this situation ends well but for some reason i dont think it will.

  10. Was in a DC hotel when it hit. AWESOME.... No longer an earthquake virgin. :blush: I'm told you always remember your first time. Was pretty entertaining all things considered.... :clapping:

     

     

     

    So you were in the hotel losing your virginity when this happened :worthy: ? She must have thought you were a stud :lol: :lol:

  11. I'm coming clean on something...

     

    Yes, this is a complaint, because it affects how I communicate with everyone. Asperger's is a difficult creature to live with. It can be really helpful on some days, but it can be my own worst enemy on others. There's nothing I can do about it. It's always been with me, and it always will be.

     

     

    Interesting have you ever heard of Rudy Simone she writes all about aspergers and has 6? books now. She is the mother of a very close friend of mine and an incredible person. You should check it out!

  12. And I thought the Lindy thread had gone far afield. What the hell is going on in here?

     

     

    Chz started talking about sex and ended up veering the thread entirely off topic.

     

    My complaint, breaking up with my GF is taking too long. I need to man up and just rip the band aid off.
