He shut up the day I took his gun away when I shook his hands. He's been quiet now for over a year!
Maybe he didn't expect his "friend" to disarm him. A firearm is not a magical device that makes one invulnerable. P.S. With friends like you, who needs JERKS.
Hey-- next time you want to go out for a steak dinner, give the money to a poor guy so he can eat instead. Don't buy any fancy clothes, a car, or a house, because that money would be better served being given to the poor.
In case you are still not understanding, what you have just stated is another example of the altruistic moralism fallacy.
Most people are not aware that Fox does not publish news, but simply whatever they want people to think (propaganda). Any enterprise they run is deserving of intense scrutiny.
Guess what? All media outlets can (and usually do) do it! See CBS News, where Dan Rather insisted for several days after the documents were posted to LGF and other blogs that there was no evidence of forgery in the Killian memos.
Maybe you should keep money in your account and not depend on a single check clearing. See sometimes checks from some sources takes week to clear the bank they are drawn on. This is done because a lot of these types of checks are forgeries. So the next time you make a large deposit with somebody elses check dont count on the money being credited right away....UNLESS you have enough funds on deposit to cover it.
I find your elitist attitude both distasteful and ignorant.
American Banks, being financial institutions, basically get to set their own policy within the limits imposed by the FDIC and other government agencies. The policy regarding checks is clearly stated, and is usually "funds become available within X number of days of deposit". Note that the parent poster did not mention whether the check was drawn on a foreign bank. Regardless, the policy should be clearly stated regarding those checks if it differs from domestic policy. If the bank cannot honor their own policy, they are liable in the same manner that I would be liable if I entered into an agreement with another party to render payment for goods or services by a certain date. Just shrugging and saying, "Oh well, they're a special case because X bank suffers a lot of forgeries" doesn't cut it unless that policy is clearly stated. Some people do live from paycheck to paycheck, and it's usually not by choice. They shouldn't expect the bank to give them a break if they are truly responsible for an overdraft. They do have an expectation as a customer (write that down: expectation), established by the financial institution, to have their funds available when agreed upon through an agreement. The bank has other recourses, such as notifying the customer of a problem. What they do not have is the right to penalize the customer for the issues they encounter during regular business.
There are costs associated with doing business, and sometimes the business can recover these from their customer but this must be done in a fair and consistent manner, within the confines of the agreement.
That would be a great argument if altruism was limited to one's family. But what drives people to perform selfless work for non-relatives? These same people may someday be in competition with you for resources of some sort. That is the exact opposite strategy to natural selection.
Naturally, the shrill harpi... I mean WOMEN criticize these male traditions as foolish time-wasters-- probably because they can't drive to the mall to spend your money while you're chillin' wit da homies.
They weren't kickout out of their homes, you ignoramus. They left of their own accord because they couldn't stand the thought of living in a Jewish state. Once they found out that their Arab brethren didn't want them, they tried to seize land by force. There was also the small matter of the unprovoked 1949, 1967, and 1973 attacks on the sovereign state of Israel.
Please, PLEASE show me ONE moment on Fox News (I assume you meant Fox News and not the Fox TV network) that anything even remotely like a racist viewpoint was expressed, you kneejerk leftist troll.
-5 on all AC posts from now on. I've learned my lesson.
As another example, on the New Jersey Turnpike there are toll booths where people are inexplicably employed to hand you tickets, instead of employing the ticket machines. This has happened on about 1/3 of my recent trips to NJ, so I'd say there's more to it than simply a malfunctioning ticket machine.
Democracy is certainly a failure, but a truly noble heart shows a bit more respect and compassion for those who have shown they cannot take care of themselves.
Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the other governments we have tried.
The problem with things like this is that the stuff we're made of isn't who we are. Not in a metaphorical sense, but literally. If you look at an old photo of yourself what you see is no longer what you are made of (except your teeth, if you're an looking at an adult photo).
Unfortunately for your argument, we are also composed of various important internal organs and structures which do not change or change very little (skeleton, brain, lungs, kidneys, heart...)

Are you saying there's a connection between Iraq and 9/11?
If not, then don't make any more foolish comparisons.
