nope, but you remind me of an on-line Eve and God joke....
One day in the Garden of Eden, Eve calls out to God, "Lord, I have a problem!"
"What's the problem, Eve?"
"Lord, I know you've created me and have provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, and that hilarious comedy snake, but I'm just not happy."
"Why is that, Eve?" came the reply from above.
"Lord, I am lonely. And I'm sick to death of apples."
"Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you."
"What's a 'man', Lord?"
"This man will be a flawed creature, with aggressive tendencies, an enormous ego and an inability to empathize or listen to you properly. All in all, he'll give you a hard time. But, he'll be bigger and faster and more muscular than you. He'll be really good at fighting and kicking a ball about and hunting fleet-footed ruminants, and not altogether bad in the sack."
"Sounds great," says Eve, with an ironically raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, well. He's better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick. But, you can have him on one condition."
"What's that, Lord?"
"You'll have to let him believe that I made him first."
Most of the time, the CS forums are more fun than a comedy club, a barrel of monkeys, a dog pile, and CNN put together. Its banter can be confident raw uncensored insane humor at times. The Olympics here brings out the best in the participants. Go Team USA!
Snot to forget, I believe one of these days the antichrist will reveal herself here first in spectacular theatre to win the hearts and minds of many to entertain her ego. I believe this. Stick around.
What taxes are you thinking of? The 16th amendment was ratified in 1913 which somehow made congress believe they can tax our incomes legally.
Amendment XVI
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration.
SS ... Social security is a Ponzi scheme and should be aborted. I paid into and my late wife paid into but I will never see a penny of it. Save Medicare; abort Social Security.
I agree with Ron Paul... 'Ron Paul supports the elimination of the income tax and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). He asserts that Congress had no power to impose a direct income tax and has introduced legislation to repeal of the 16th Amendment to the Constitution, which was ratified on February 3, 1913.
An income tax is the most degrading and totalitarian of all possible taxes. Its implementation wrongly suggests that the government owns the lives and labor of the citizens it is supposed to represent.
Tellingly, “a heavy progressive or graduated income tax” is Plank #2 of the Communist Manifesto, which was written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels and first published in 1848.'
Maybe the Chineese dudes are playing with the rest of the world here. I believe they want to build something to compete with the Palm Islands, Palm Jumeirah and Palm Jebel Ali, on the coast of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
As at November 2014, only Palm Jumeirah has been completed. This island takes the form of a palm tree, topped by a crescent. When complete, Palm Jebel Ali will take a similar shape;
When complete, both islands will be host to a large number of residential, leisure and entertainment centres and will add a very large area of non-public beaches to the city of Dubai.
Rumor has it, they are going to film the sequel to a popular 1967 U.S.A. drama film and title it 'Bonnie and Clyde on Ski Jets.'
Ah and my curiosity was peaked a littler over the other headline stories.... -- Paul McCartney dead in 1966 -- Ohio couples name their new twins Hewlett and Packard -- Alabama U.S. Postal worker fathers 56 illegitimate children with different mothers in small town gets reprimand maybe suspension. -- Al gore becomes first 'carbon billionaire' -- Yoko Ono admits to having an affair with Hillary Clinton in the 70's
if you're thinking of a Mexican living in Mexico, well, I've hoped for a reconciliation of sorts. Now, I was always nice towards a kind Mexican CS member living along the border in Texas.
I'm not sure how I'm always perceived, but I am super friendly to most everyone on CS (except maybe maddog, tomcat..., a couple of Canucks, a couple of women in the states, blah blah blah) and look where it's got me? But that's me... My usual disposition is super nice because I that's normal for me to be, not because I have any expectations for something in return.
If I had my way I'd give almost everyone I know a nice big comfy free cloud to get around on.
Come on over here to Dublin, Ohio and I'll buy a round or two of beer while watching the Jun 1-7 memorial golf tournament from the roaming gallery of unruly wannabe-Irish in the Murifield country club. jack Nicholas will make you feel right at home.
That would have to be an improvement over the baths you take in Irish beer.
You should be proud that one of the greatest accomplishments undertaken in Ireland was by the Irish-Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi when he set up the world's first permanent transatlantic radio station in Ireland.
I have only one tat; originally inked in my college days. It cost me $500 USDs to have it re-colored and tweaked a couple years ago. It took just three-hours and only hurt towards the end.
RE: Fruitful
I love bananas and olives from IsraelPistachios from Iran are the best
White corn from Mexico is pretty good
