You haters. The only thing sillier than hating me is continuing to post in a certain thread that you know better than to post in. Seriously, those guys over there crack me up.

Give that man over there a huge box of +1's. The way I see things: if the adjunct double honors guy feels it's a waste of time to go in there, deliver the smack down and pwn people sideways, then why should I? I'm a non-theist and I see things his way. I have better things to do, like gaze at navels.

Unfortunately, they can't devolve since they don't believe in evolution.

No it's not, but we have a plan.

All we have to do to start off is pay her car off. That adds $275 to our monthly income. She throws $150 of that ON TOP of my regular car payment, then my car is paid off in less than 2 years.

It's all good and thought out until someone covets a shiny or someone doesn't watch where they're driving.

It is a requirement that you read each and every post and respond to most of them.

That is if you want to. Otherwise just skip 'em and if there was anything important mostly people will point it out to you later.

Why can't I do that? Why can't I just skip them? WHY!

Yeah, so remember, when a stunning and vivacious college freshmen says she's blown away by your confidence, your knowledge, and your relaxed approach to life and that she finds it such a turn on.... walk away. B!tch doesn't know what she's talking about.
So true, and I swear this happens to me at least twice a week.

Happened to me a couple times last Friday. I saved them from their self-deception.

Violence is not considered a problem because they see it so much in the video games they play that it doesn't bring up questions whose (sp?) answers may be awkward to explain to a ten year old. What was stated would not be a problem but something like the stair scene from A History of Violence would be, I think.

I mean, for me personally, Wal-mart is all that is evil and wrong with America today. If you don't believe me, see what happens if you ask an employee if they know anything about unions...

Enlighten me.

I honestly don't understand the complaints, I've never had problems there.

1000 shoppers in line,5 registers open. None of the employees seem to know or care about anything, and every thing is always a friggin hassle every time we go. A trip to Wal-Mart is like visiting hell, I prefer to shop "local" whenever possible.

Here's the trend I'm seeing. They're replacing cash registers with self-scanners. They think they can squeeze in more of those and have one person monitor each four of those in a way to cut costs. Doing that, they shut down the regular registers. And then people who are not patient to stand in those manned registered lines with their two cart fulls of groceries paid for by the government and their twelve screaming unruly brats decide they think they can move things quicker by taking them through the U-Scan lines.

It's one of those days that you tell yourself: I really don't need milk with my cereal. Water will suffice. Pretend it's X-Tra Skim Milk.

however what you did was a good thing. You kept on topic and did in fact get more then just one person responding. Very good questions by the way.

now back to our regularly scheduled hypocrisy.

I asked things I've always wondered. I thought they'd be good enough spark civil discourse.

Jeremy, while I do applaud your effort, you must realize that certain participants have no other purpose than to slam the religious, period. No amount of civility and honest questioning on your part is going to change that.

Thank you for taking the high road though. :)

Well I did just ask a thought provoking question in there I hope it gets picked up and discussed. I doubt it will, but one can hope.

You'd have better success reasoning with a Shoggoth.

Just FYI, I've been back. I just don't know if I have anything to add (or help you out with the current "discussion"). Also, I've pretty much put Samnell and Bugley on "ignore" status. There's still too much "you're wrong for believing X" going on ...

You're just wrong for saying that.

Yeah, but I've yet to see a Wal-mart with a Self Check-Out scanner... Might be because of the non-grocery items in the store (like jewelry, clothes, etc.)

Meh. I have a possibility of getting retrained through a veteran's work program.

Erection or maintenance of turbines? I'm sure erection falls under the iron workers union there; does maintenance fall into public utility unions? Would you have to start as an apprentice, or can you test in at a higher level?

Now what's wrong with erections? Other than inopportune moments, that is.
