Are you trying to fry my tired brain?

[proud_yank]

Is that your stats test??

[snugs]

I think this has happened due to the fact that the traditional support systems have broken down with families being more fragmented and less people attending church.

There is not the backup systems and someone has to mop up and care for those who cannot care for themselves and I think based on the above a lot of women feel that the government be it local, social services or central government have a moral responsibility to do so.

[darkangel82]

All right, school's over, no more of that.

[proud_yank]

A good friend and I actually had that same discussion not too long ago. Putting 'faith' in the govt, eeek, is that ever scary!

[snugs]

That surprises me as once again generalisations are dangerous but I always thought of Candians as sporty outdoor types.

[snugs]

I would have thought regardless of political point of view if church goers they would have opposed gay marriage.

and I know about that all too well...sigh

Talking of cartoon there are some great ones on the spitfire website - not sure if they would be classed as politically correct though :0)

I agree with you regarding generalizations. There are people who are fairly active, but part of it comes with being a grad student. Much of my day is in the office or lab, so....

Closer to the mountains, there are certainly more 'Mountain Betties' as I call them :-)

Convert DEAD into decimal.

D=13

13 * 16³ = 53248

14 * 16² = 3584

10 * 16¹ = 160

13 * 16⁰ = 13

Thus, DEAD = 57005.

Add yourself.

57006

Something is missing on this thread tonight, and I just can't put my finger on it......


Hmmmmm........


I got it!



TUNES!!!!!

Can one of you compu-whiz-kids out there put up some tunes to FReep by?

Don't even care what kind of tunes. I'm flexible.

That is why I rarely participate with the kayak & biking clubs .. I like the activities but they are very liberal.. ACLU members. Had Kerry stickers on their bikes/kayaks.

ugh.

so I kayak & bike either alone or with the couple conservatives I know

[DollyCali]

Victoria will be bringing music shortly.

I enjoy music & listening to it but for now have not taken the time to master the skills

[pcottraux]

I'll take your word for it.

[proud_yank]

I have found both, particularly with paddlers. Sea kayakers in general are very interesting people, and tend to be fairly 'professional' (for lack of a better term. Some can be lefties, but of those who are, I haven't met too many of the real hard-core Chomsky-esque radicals. It takes a job to be able to acquire a boat afterall.

[DollyCali]

oh thank you for posting this.. I loved his epithet..

pix of plane w/caption lading on God's runway...

[proud_yank]

This thread is one of the more interesting/amusing/scary/totalitarian/shockingly lame ideas that I have ever heard of. Though I can't say I didn't expect it to come some day, be sure to read the BBC link.
