but they're not musicians. They lack any discernible talent. Only a deaf person could possibly appreciate them. I was hoping that they had gone away by now.
No, this is called kicking a person when they're down. If they're having trouble making their car payment, does it make sense to take away their way to get to work? You know - the place where they earn money to make said payments. Missing even one day of work may get them fired. Well, that's just great, isn't it?
The creditor can always find the car and repossess it if necessary. This method of making the car unusable is all about control.
Has anyone taken into account the number of active underwater volcanoes? There are a few thousand of them and I'm sure that they must be a factor in changing weather patterns and climate.
or die trying. I refuse to set an arbitrary age for death.
Some people are in great shape mentally and physically at 80 or 90. My 83 years old neighbor lives by herself and drives to the senior citizen center to help out with the "old people". My mother is 79, lives by herself, sees a doctor once a year, and drives everywhere she wants to go (safely). Of course, some people are ready for the nursing home at age 65. People are all different in every way you can imagine.
Maybe Ezekiel J. Emanuel is just aging faster than he'd like. Doesn't he have grandchildren or great-grandchildren he'd like to see grow up?
At least you got the part about not bringing infected people back here correct. It's a mistake to do that. We will eventually have someone in this country who is infected with a mutated virus that spreads more easily than the current strain.
I shaved with every new razor ever invented, starting years ago with a Gillette double-edged razor. A couple of years ago I was at Sam's Club looking to buy some replacement carts for my super-duper high tech razor, but the price was what we used to pay for a small car. I thought that there must be a better way.
So, I came home, got online and bought an old-fashioned double edge razor (actually two of them). They're both Merkur slants, a long handled one for home and a short handled one for traveling. Along with the razors I bought 100 Feather blades. The razors were reasonable and the blades were ten bucks. Blades of any brand are ridiculously cheap.
I've also started making lather the old fashioned way, using a brush and shaving soap, 1000 times better than anything out of a can.
All you need is a good lather and ONE sharp blade. I'll never go back to multiple disposable blades no matter what. I get baby-butt smooth shaves nearly every time with no nicks or razor burns. Try it.
We've gone from "of the people, by the people, for the people" to "of the government, by the government, for the government".
It's both parties. All they care about is their own power. Sometimes I suspect that our elected politicians have less power than the entrenched bureaucrats. We've learned that we can't depend on the Supreme Court to make the right decisions. So what do we do? I'm open to any ideas.
In any group of people some are going to be better at some tasks than others. We put value on those tasks depending on how much they're needed or wanted by society. In a society like we have today, doctors are more valuable than burger flippers so they're paid more. It's not always that simple, but that's the way we tend to perceive it.
True superiority is actually unifying. False superiority is where the problems come from. When the king (or democratically elected government) begins to believe that they are all-knowing and infallible, people are right to oppose them.
It's the thousands of over-paid, under-worked bureaucrats who are damned near impossible to fire when they're caught being lazy or violating the law.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you're paid out of the taxes I pay and you're caught not doing your job (or committing a crime), you should not only be fired, you should lose your precious pension.

Ethical and Facebook have nothing in common.

It will be perfect when it can make electricity from moonlight. :)
It's even cloaking the website!
If you've ever drawn a breath you are.

I'd be happy if FedEx would just stop leaving my packages at the wrong address.

Corporations do not pay taxes. They simply pass along the money from consumers to the government. Got it?
Raise the taxes for XYZ, Inc. and the price of their goods or services will go up accordingly.

He's smart, but that's not the same as being intelligent. I've known people who could ace just about any test, but were far from intelligent.
What is needed in someone who attempts to change the way history is learned is wisdom, a very rare trait nowadays. Gates has none of that.
Why does every freaking thing related to computers and technology have to start with "My"?
Even urls are vulnerable. Every other ad I hear or see nowadays gives a url that starts with "My".
I'm blaming Microsoft for starting the idiocy with "My Computer".
Please stop the madness.
For now.
We're talking about the future when such devices become mandatory. Even a blind man can see it coming a mile away.
Paid leave is what really irritates me.
Paid leave = paid vacation = reward.
Why reward somebody who is under investigation? Would your boss pay your salary if you were being investigated?

Guillotines maybe?
It wasn't aliens; it was bigfoot! Well, a bunch of bigfoots.
I know because Elvis told me . . . . yesterday.
I'm in Alabama and we didn't feel a thing, nor do we care. :p
But never, ever tell her she smells like fish.
Aha! That's the problem. Buy something other than an Apple product. :)

Under Communism, man exploits man.
Under Capitalism, it's the other way round.

Don't play fast and lose with the public's trust.
Day after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.
