  1. Re:And in other news... on Cincinnati Gets Broadband Over Power Lines · · Score: 0

    You musta hit your head this morning.

    This place sucks royal nuts.

    Our women... they're like cattle.. no seriously they're both fat, slobbering, and stupid as a general concept. We're fat as f* here.

    There's the classic east vs west thing here, richies vs roman catholic lower middle class down home kind of people. Then in the middle we have all the nogs, thankfully we have plenty of white cops to contain the situation, but driving through police lines on the way home from work was kind of annoying.

    There are some cool things about this town... Newport on the Levy.. wait thats across the river..., frisbee golf courses... a couple, playhouse in the park (arnoff center bites), the botanical gardens (great to take a date to that likes plants ;P), Chili of course.

    Salaries here are deflated, cost of living is on the rise, I know in the last 2 years I've either had pay cuts or stayed the same consistently, and seen my bills go up up and well up. In my tiny ass condo, an average electric bill is now $153/mo, where it was at most $90/mo 2 years ago, cable that I get for $130/mo cause I'm locked in my plan to change at all bumps me to $150/mo. Might not seem like a lot but thats $70/mo = $840/yr, I'm making $8.5k/yr less then I did 2.5 years ago. So yeah shit here bites.

    Oh and the biggest thing that sucks in cincy: the weather!!! It's irradic as all hell.

    You mean cause the Nazis handed their ass to them?

    They don't want to talk about getting beat up, which is understandable. I mean come on now Great Britain doesn't outlaw discussing the fact that the Romans took over a lot of them and that the english language is completely based on Latin from that conquering by Rome.

    It's just the modern age of general weakness, hell the USA saw some of it's first exposure to real good highway systems from the Autobahn... aka Hitlers Highway, yeah he built that.

    History is a good thing to learn, people need to get the clue to accept what happened and if you're that ashamed that your country was defeated then feel free to take a long walk off a short pier.

    They still never thought of the idea of jet liners into the WTC.

    I was shocked a jet was able to get anywhere near the pentagon, just be glad they weren't more effective.

    Still can't think of anything but I like having a country thats prepared if the world explodes today that we can rest assured at night of mutual destruction.

    Proud to be an American... even more proud if we're the last country to survive the final war... WW3 aka the 1 hour war of nukes

    When you have 5 billion in hand... why would you not want to pay it off? As they have plenty to play around with / invest with, it is a very smart move to not waste money on interest.

    I liked waterworld!

    It was a great 1980s post apocolyptic movie! Just released 15 years late, but still a classic in my books, had to be purchased on VHS to match Cyborg, Mad Max, etc...

    Postman was great for this collection too.

    I heard there's a third one out called "Open Range" now too.

    How they keep finding these 80s movies is beyond me.
