RE: This always and without fail happens..

Not what I can remember... no, I would say I did not, not what I was looking for.

RE: Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

I got it right, but I am disappointed... normally the right answer is not "right", but a hidden catch somewhere, one that I always fail to see. dunno

RE: how many of u really mind if ppl hate u?

If they are to hate me or love me, matters only if for the wrong reasons.

In the news... all readers invited

Thought we have one of them threads where articles from papers and other news sources could be posted.

Here's a ready made collection from ABC News and their round up of late night comics:

The Tonight Show
Conan O'Brien: President Obama, of course, everyone knows, has invited Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates and the police officer who arrested him to the White House for a beer. ... This could be trouble, because the last time Obama got a few beers in him, he bought General Motors.

The Tonight Show
O'Brien: You know, the meeting got off to a rough start when a neighbor called the police to say Gates was breaking into the White House.

Stephen Colbert: A president should never get involved in a local, city-specific issue. President Bush never did, no matter how flooded a city got.

The Daily Show

President Obama: Nobody is talking about reducing Medicare benefits. ... Tell your mom nobody is messing with with her doctor.

Jon Stewart: You know a sales pitch is in trouble when it starts with, "Look, you've got to trust me. We're not going to kill your grandparents."

Jimmy Kimmel Live

Jimmy Kimmel: I don't want to say that the president can't hold his liquor, but well, look what happened at his press conference this morning.

Reporter: Would you think your administration needs to be taking a harder line with Wall Street?

RE: Looking for A needle in a haystack

Anyone ever been out fishing big fish, like Barracuda?

If not, get an update on YouTube or similar, see how it is reeled in.

That is the game, give and take, but do not let go, ever.

And still, you will not really know what you've got until it's in your boat. But you will value it, because it was your battle and your victory.

This is a metaphor, even though some great guys can be found on the sea with a pole in their hand, I am not telling to start fishing. laugh

Just learn that give and take, the even temper, the calm but focused being going for the big catch.

A fisherman, he listens to the stories of his pals, what waters they've been sailing, what tools they used and what seasons were best. That way they learn where they need to go and when to catch what is their dream catch.

Sure, they will catch a little spoil in the meantime, but they know what they are in for, out there, somewhere.

RE: what would you do

I've been the scold many times, and the professor even more often than that.

I know better now.

I keep my mouth shut - it could be the match poets write about, grannies dream of and priests attribute Gods good will for.

Or not... dunno

RE: English

Don't - it gets on the nerves after a day of meetings and one of your colleagues been grunting his way through it all rolling on the floor laughing

RE: Looking for A needle in a haystack

I don't, she taught me well. laugh wave

RE: For guys: Will you give your wife all the money you make to let her spend?

To be fair to my fair wife.

She is working long hours too. We have a life together. The shops are way better in Bucharest than ever in here in this little town.

And finally, when we first met, I had a long nights work at the office (time-zones can be a pain in the etc.), I left her with some Swedish currency and told her the general direction of where to best get rid of them.

What happened? When I finally were done and came home, she had more money than when I left.

She had seen that if you take the recyclable PET bottles and drop them into a machine, you get a refund in cash. I had a pile of them in the kitchen (Fanta smitten ), she returned them to that machine, and got bingo.

Well, what is a man to do? I married her. laugh

RE: English

Que? pointing Like that?

laugh

And yes, for sure that is the right way to see it. Language change but not our need to have things told and understood.

RE: For guys: Will you give your wife all the money you make to let her spend?

Thanks, I feel loads better now laugh

RE: For guys: Will you give your wife all the money you make to let her spend?

"Will I..." There is no option here, it just happened rolling on the floor laughing

RE: What do u do if u like men but have fallen in love with a woman?

Exactly. thumbs up

RE: Do you believe in the death penalty?

Did you know that the same thinking is the one the extremist organisations are using, and Vikings did too have once, when they were out and about?

Handing over the respect of life is a scary business. dunno

RE: Do you believe in the death penalty?

True, and as I said, I am not knowledgeable enough to even compare the differences between the states in US. But surely, someone must have done that already?

What I am thinking of is if a criminal who already overdid his "duties" out there will be less interested in giving in if he is in a place where he risk capital punishment.

Looking at some of the countries where it actually is outlawed, like Sri Lanka, it did not much good, mostly due to unrest and lacking in other fields, but it shows that removing just the capital punishment is not enough.

RE: Do you believe in the death penalty?

This could be used against me...

Freudian slip?

doh grin

RE: Do you believe in the death penalty?

Anyone who sit on a pile of international criminal justice statistics?

Would be interesting to see how countries without capital punishment are doing compared to those with it. In the sense of capital crimes, of course.

Without any grounds for it, I think if I was risking beheading I would be less "kill em all" as a person with a gun.

If I already overstepped that border line and know I am heading for the hangman, what is there to stop me any longer?

Or is it history, the cowboys still rules in some places?

Here is a list to look at while finding facts:


USA is in an interesting and very civilized group... not. Why is that?

RE: Flowers............?

Oupss.. A great post there, while I was just playing a fool.

Well, it came to something good, or you would not had written what you did.

cheers

RE: Ladies......

A very good post and can be used the other way around, insecure men do just that to women as well.

RE: Do you believe in the death penalty?

Great insights in the flavours of a human mind here.

It's good to be where killing is considered a crime.

RE: Beach Towels

I doubt that would work here... Spaniards are not conforming to rules such as "first in, first served..."

If there is a spot and it can hold two, there will be two. If you know each other already, good for you, if not - you got a new friend laugh

RE: Flowers............?

doh

RE: Flowers............?

That is my, what I was trying to say was - no more pretending grin
