Why didn't they contact me? The answer is "avoid liberals."

You can, however, get an unnatural act between a left-handed Lithuanian midget and a Shetland Pony.

Before the Internet, I was just a geek. Now I'm a hep geek. I don't see a problem.

The latest study also found that online game playing has become a major part of Internet use. .. and when I say "game playing" I mean porn.

According to the study, an hour of time spent using the Internet reduces face-to-face contact with friends, co-workers and family by 23.5 minutes, lowers the amount of time spent watching television by 10 minutes and shortens sleep by 8.5 minutes.

What an idiot. This is exactly the opposite. I now communicate with family and friends more than ever via emails and internet postings and articles. In addition, at home I could only annoy my family. Now thanks to modern technology, I can annoy them along with millions of liberals. The internet is a freakin' miracle.

They're complaining about the lack of television viewing because they can no longer inundate me with liberal propaganda. Every BS lie they tell gets challenged and blown out of the water with facts now.

Someone needs to show these lemmings a cliff already.

So does reading. And eating. And sleeping. And going to the bathroom. And grooming. And taking a shower. And walking the dog.

Everything we do cuts into the time we might spend doing something else.

"People don't understand that time is hydraulic,"

Sheesh.

The word he was looking for was "fungible".

Takes away time for socializing? Good grief. The internet has allowed me to keep in touch with my very good friends from college on a regular basis via instant messaging and e-mail.
