Secondly, next time you drive on a freeway, thank national government. Next time a hurricane hits you, thank national government. Next time you cross a state line without being searched and taxed, thank national government. You want to be a superpower? You have a strong federal government. You want...

Time for another "lets educate Somber Cat" moment. RAISING TAXES DOES NOT HELP. EVER. Anyone with a decent education in economics can tell you that raising taxes causes a reduction in overall revenue. Why? Because money that the government sucks up, cannot be spent or invested by the people who ear...

Tell me, Somber Cat, Is it REALLY that you're happy that everyone gets educated? Or is it merely that you don't care if the education is substandard.... you are happy <i>so long as nobody gets a better education than anybody else?</i> Nobody getting a better education than anybody else is what we h...

I hope so. My brother was an electrician for the Marines and nothing is more dangerous (or fun to watch) that some one fiddling with electricity and not having a clue what they're doing. The nerve damage, burns, falls from ladders, and occasional agonizing death non-withstanding; there's also the ho...

I'm pretty sure rigging a game to do that would fall under cruel and unusual punishment... but then this isn't a prison so go for it!

"Earplugs... check."

Trust me, what he's doing to the state workers is as far from liberalism as he can get legally. Arnold would privatize the entire state if he could. Sad thing is if he'd only take one step halfway to the left and raised taxes in direct compromise to removing benefits it would go a long way towards p...

Don't you dare touch, gas, drug or therapy away that wonderful intelligent perceptive creative mind of hers! That girl is a gem. An intellectual and creative jewel. I can only dream of what she'll accomplish in a few years time.

"It helps that she's cute as hell too."

Again, I have no problem with private schools, religious schools, Home schooling, or charter schools that meet state guidelines SO LONG, that would be a flagged conditional, so long as public school remains available to all children. Another history lesson of school and education. This is roughly 18...

Seems pretty cut and dry to me.

"Gawd I love that girl! Is she up for adoption?"

Somber

I would say that as RHJ is a "SWM" he put that down. At the time the comic hadn't had a color issue so his coloring is rather ambiguous at that point. I don't see how it's revelant unless it is refering to "Western" as if western America. I still haven't discovered how Ben knows Navajo. "Perhaps it ...

Private school and public school are two very different critters. For one, Private school sets their own rules, within legal limits. Two, private schools discriminate. That is, they are allowed to pick and choose who attends their schools. Do you think Exeter accepts many ESL children who's parents ...

I'm curious Solidous if you would dedicate 6 years and 60-80 thousand dollars to a career where you only make, on average 37,000 a year. I'm equally curious if you would do so knowing that you are effectively turning over much of your free time, creativity, and free will do a state, federal, and loc...

DD? Nah. I don't care for anything larger than a C.

"Breasts are like fudge, you can get sick if you have too much."

Somber

Is there something I should know about this individual?

"Or will I find out soon enough?"

Somber

If you can donate money, even a little, donate it. There's no lack of need and if you're a real stickler about where your cash goes, most charities have donation options that they are required by law to follow, sending your money where you want it to go. If you can't donate money, but have goods, go...

Actually because of hebrew to english translations, Joshua, who premiered in the OT, continued through... and the people who always insist on names out of the bible. Hense why I changed my name to Somber.

"I approve of this message... though I have no reason to."

Somber

It's also a natural occurance. The entire region is slowly sinking constantly, with bedrock more than a thousand feet below. Like any water saturated pile of dirt, a little pressure and the whole thing starts moving downward. In order to combat this, the largest buildings in New Orleans have to sink...

Amazing. I know about the history of english, but I couldn't even begin a structural breakdown like that.

But if Jesus is the evolution of the hebrew name Joshua, then why are there people still named Joshua around? ::Evil kitty grin::

"Cool."

Somber

What a mess. IT's going to be years before New Orleans recovers, if it ever does. I've heard nasty speculation of what it would cost to rebuild verses what it would cost to cut every one a check and tell them to go some where else. Still, I have hope in human nature, or in spite of it, that we'll re...

Actually I think that goes for just about every culture outside of Utah and the middle east. It's funny but probably accurate that archeologists suspect so much agricultural development was not done for the sake of survival and food stores, but simply to produce enough inebriants to keep every one h...
