RE: Tell me....

I am not sure about that. I do wonder

RE: should tony blair be given a knighthood ?

THe thing is, Bush and Blare did nothing wrong, what they diud was based on the info they had at the time. The others did it for their own person reasons, and without justification.
They are not criminals, not like the others I mentioned.

RE: what type of work do you do

I'll have a dozen Oysters and a 1927 rosé to dip them in. devil

RE: what type of work do you do

I also write books, and do photography. I have two books in print now.

RE: what type of work do you do

I'm a maint. Tech.

I remember one engineer I talked to at a place I worked, who said, "We're the guys (the engineers) who go to school to learn how to design things that will stand and work, but you are the guys without the degrees that can actually make the thngs we design work and stand." I always thought that was a good compliment from him.

RE: should tony blair be given a knighthood ?

Why dom you people have to run of diarrea about the faked war crimes???
Clinton should have been tried for numerous crimes, yet they love that criminal... Reagan should have been tried for war crimes.. Carter should have been tried for impersonating a living person...
Johnson should have been tried for war crimes, as well as others. These are real crimes not the faked ones you people keep listening to the crude off the bottom of the slime to tell you what to believe. Blare and Bush did nothing that people with good heads on their shoulders would have done. The only difference is that the things would have been better habdled.

RE: Hyperthetical Debate

I wish Ok would do that, but this state is so incompetent and greedy it would never allow that. As it is, they arfehigher than all states around them, and think that is just great... Yet they also have one of the worst abilities to maintain their own equipment due to a lack of funds... Hmmmm

RE: should tony blair be given a knighthood ?

Yes, I think he should.

RE: Best Sporting Event

Fencing. I used to fence, and loved it!!

RE: which is your favorite old Culture ?????

Gads, as once I was a student of Anthropology, I have so many favorites.

Mayans and Incas; Their engineering was so far advanced for what they worked with, it is still amazing. There is still an old aquduct built by the Mayans back in 350 B.C. that is still running today.

Chinese; What they contributed to the world is just simply amazing in itself. Screen printing books as far back as 150 B.C. if not further. Ehgineering feats that still amaze people today, likke the first salt water well dug in around 335 B.C.

Greek/Mycenaen and related cultures. Many of our writings and styles are based from these cultures. Again they had created some fantastic engineering feats for infrastructures of cities, and set the foundation to where much of oue sciences would later develop some of our major achievements.
Runing water for homes was first developed in this region, as well as sewar systems, street development, multi-story and dwelling homes were first developed here. I find it fasinating that they even had running water through out a three story home in and around 75 B.C.

The Mongals had their major achievements as well, such as reasonings of laws, that had not been used before Ghangus Kahn, asa well as Diplomacy which took a major turn in history towards the end of his life.

I cannot think of a single culture from the past that has not had a major contribution to the world today in something they did back then.

If you watchj an American Armor collum charging into combat, you will see a Mongol hoard charging into combat, as this is the tactics devised by Ghangus Kahn during his reign, and so effective it is still used today.

If you look at your Plumbing, you will see Mycenaen workmanship in use today, as this is what in many ways they had.

If you look at above and below ground aquifers, you wioll see Mayan and Roman engineering in use today.

So how can one pick just one culture to be a favorite??? dunno

Nice question!! grin

RE: ARE u LONELY?

Being alone has nothing really to do with having friends, even though they can help. Alone means basically that you are alone in the world. I know a few men that have never been married, and one thing they have always said, is never to go it alone. THe reason is that alone you have no real network to help you in any tough choice, this goes true for both sides of the issue; man and woman.
I know from personal experience that it is hard at times to come into an empty place you call home. No matter what you do, there is no one to share it with, or any one to share what they did either.

RE: What do you guys think of plastic surgery???

I actually prefer small breasts and natural. I have seen the enlarged ones, and to be honest, they do little for me. I would rather see a woman with natural large breastrs, and yes you can tell the difference, than a woman with the fake ones.

RE: What do you guys think of plastic surgery???

With exceptions of deformity, and injuries, I don't like fake women, and when a woman has herself modified for looks, to me, it is becoming a fake woman. I would prefer a woman that is as she is, they don't have to modify anything as it is always beautiful. wine

RE: Hyperthetical Debate

I agree with you there, but still it is a law, and the State violated the law.

RE: There is nothing more beautiful, then to love somebody & know that person loves you too.

Don't know, every time I have thought this was the case, it turned out they wanted something else, and when they got it, they were gone...

Alternative Technology

What hurts in that issue of the Batteries, was when this started, Ford, GM and Chrysler all lobbied to stop the new batteries from over seas which would have worked much better for that type of vehicle. Lithium and cadmium were developed in Europe for cars that would actually work better for eletrict cars. But now they cannot be shipped to the US because of the Lobbying.

RE: Hyperthetical Debate

Here in Ok, all utilities are owned and run by the state. So there is no compitition. It is also a fact, they can do as they please and you have no choice in the matter even if it is in violation of federal laws. According to the federal laws, if you are on medical dependance, and need power to run machines to keep you alive, they cannot cut the power, But in Ok they can and will in a heartbeat.
There was a case here in a city, Claremore where they did just that, and the woman almost died. When contacted about this issue, they said it is the customer's responibility to pay the bills and not the state to keep it going. The woman had someone takin g care of her bills as she was unable to, and the person either failed to pay that bill, or what ever, the end result was the lack of electricity almost killed this woman, and the States view was "So what?".
very mad

RE: omg

Just relax and take it easy. Maybe just take a long hot bath to help you relax.

Congrats and you have a good day, and fun with your friend!!

Alternative Technology

To be honest, the oil companies are pushing towards Alternitive technology as well, and are willing to drop the fuel market which would actually be a benefit to them.

I was not aware of any new carboators on the market, and had thought they were all but gone.
The thing is we have enougfh technology to build a car that does not run on fuel, but we have played around with this just too long. I would have thought with the brains in MIT that they should have seen a way by now, but it looks like it is all a big game to them.
Bio fuels I believe will not last long, as the emmissions are higher than the oil products are. So that will kill them soonere than anything else.

Hopefully by next month I can get anotherr car and start on my idea, and if I can get atleast a moderate success, then just maybe I can get funding to get people who know more than I do to work on it right and get my next business going.

RE: Finish this line: "When In Doubt........"

When in Doubt, have the new guy/gal do it. They won't get in as much trouble as you would... devil

Alternative Technology

First I would think you would still have some of the emmissions problems from burning any form of gas. What I am talking about is not using any form of burning at all, it would not need to. Remember no matter how you burn any fuel you're going to have an emmission issue, unless you can generate enough heat to incinerate the gasses, which you would not be able to in a car engine. This has been shown with a number of the smaller military crafts that use gas turbine engines, and they still produce the same gasses.
The only system I have ever heard of, was one that was developed in Canada to burn trash to generate electricity, which used some sort of bellows fan system to push up the BTUs so high that they were actually burning a high percentage of the gasses produced.

RE: Most functional English word

I remember seeing Carlyn doing this live. It was so damned funny, mostly because it is so very true!
So don't **** us, admit it's real ****.

RE: I hate money!

I have made it and lost it in some business ventures. Moneys ok, but what makes it worth anything is not just having it, but making it with your own hard work that you can be proud of.
This is not to say I ever had millions, just that I have made a very good living for my self at times, and lost it on bad moves, or poor judgement.
Which is why I do not believe in luck, you make what you get, or you'll never appreciate it.
This is why if you give a poor person money in a year or so they will be poor again, they have no apreciation of the money. Now you teach them to earn it, and it is quite different.

RE: Making Cheese

Maybe some cayenne pepper? If you like the hot and spicey.

RE: ok its all about luck do you feel lucky

Never had luck. I've always had to work for what I got.

RE: Your all time favourite song?

Who'll stop the rain... Opps my bad.

RE: What does it mean when a man offers you an 'allowance'??

You know, it is so good to see a woman stand on her principles.
That is really to be commended to you Tny Devil.

hug

RE: Are white guys attracted to black women???.

I thimk it is no different than with any other women, just depends on how it works between you two.
Personally for me, it really depends on what is inside, more than anything else, looks are superficial, most of which goes away with age, and color, that is just something you use to discribe a person.

RE: Yup!,Uh Huh! Sure! Would you listen to a friend with a problem or needing advice.

I have been told by many friends I have a big communal shoulder to cry on.
Yes I do listen to friends troubles, and try to help how I can.

So if they like it so much, why is it so hard to find a mate? You would think a woman would like that...

RE: Just how attached can one get with this internet dating?

I think it is a good place to meet people you would not get to otherwise. Through this you can choose to go visit them or not and see how it goes between you and them. As far as wanting to marry them or what ever else, I don't think it would be too good to use it that way, but good for breaking the ice and starters.
