Did you just read what I posted? It's not my idea it's the founding father's idea. You know, the ones that created the Constiotution.

Like obama inflicting pain on the public because he doesn't like the sequestration act he proposed.

The church has NO place in government. At all. Give me one good reason why they should? The governments role is to protect individual rights. At what point should a church get involved in that process?

And again...it boils down to the sheep syndrome. Somebody says something is cool and no matter how ridiculous the sheep go and glom onto it and pay high dollar for it too. This kind of segues into the severe need to be liked and "admired" by others...to fit in. That whole mind set makes me puke. Hmmm maybe they'd buy puke if the right person said it was all that. Seriously, the sheep are ruining everything beautiful and sacred. :(

Kachel's Law :) Your works do NOT stink....and you know it! I had no idea about this alternate form of "art"...sounds like some seriously lazy, warped, and uncreative minds at work. Thanks for replying to me too... I figured I was on your "shit" list or something. :(

Not sure that was done as "art" tho. lol, but I get your point. I like to say, "People will anything." Pet rock, anyone?

Hey, your "Pee Pee Jar" is in the category that David wrote about above! Lol!

Lol, they do not, you have discerning appreciative collectors. And Ayn Rand agrees with you, as do I, about the sheer ridiculousness of the smugly ironic "art connoisseurs" out there. Her book The Romantic Manifesto gives credence to your statements. It has always astonished me what passes itself off as "art"....

But you truly make the real deal. :-)

smart, but sad

Well as I explained, previously, his former girlfriend used to spend quite a bit of time at our house - more than she did at home in fact: her parents are pot smokers. I honestly thought she had her head screwed on. One day she arrived with J. I liked him. A few weeks later she showed her true colours. Shame really.

J recently told me I was more like a Dad than his own father. Which was nice but sad at the same time.

who?

I don't see how that's possible, that you can't figure out why... Goober! You're TALENTED up the wazoo!!

Nothing like a little extortion to go with your mandated coffee break....

Niiiiice, LS!

I am curious as to how you two met, but you've already shared quite a bit. I'm glad you've been able to be a role model, and you've been clear you like the guy (at least better than the loser ex). But, the question is: what are you getting out of the relationship? There is a great deal of satisfaction one can get from mentoring.
"Walk in the woods where there is no path. Live in conflict with those that are superior to you. You will learn, hopefully not too late, that life's greatest fruits come to those who live a little dangerously. You'll also find that if you make batters work for a hit, they'll respect you more as a pitcher. If they get a home run off of you, it will mean more if they earn it."- Rich Hoffman, Symposium of Justice, (overmanwarrior)

Indeed.

Thanks for the info. I'll definitely be reading more about the CP Strategy, it sounds more convincing than other conspiracy theories out there. From what your saying, it sounds like Obama is doing exactly what Tony Blair & Gordon Brown did to us. They squandered all our money & introduced all the socialist key words like 'diversity' which were only ever designed to imprison a country's natives while granting rights to everyone else. 'Everyone else' lands up working in the UK (or claiming benefits) then sending money to their home countries. Nothing like getting people from impoverished nations to unwittingly take care of 'redistribution' eh? Of course if I said this to most people, I'd be dubbed a racist.

I usually play a nasty little trick on the,.. I start with, "yea, so.. Can I ask you a question? " The trick is to say it in a interested voice. It gets there attention so they are now really listening. Then I finish with "When you were a kid, is this what you wanted to do when you grew up?" Boom.. Then I usually hang up, leaving the telemarketer in a self reflective spot.

Parents in London I believe. I had the displeasure of seeing a message his mother sent him a while ago. Take it form me she's not a very nice person. He has three brothers, at least one of which is into drugs & crime in a big way. I believe he pretty much abandoned his family because of their behaviour.

I quite agree. I can't recall the names of those who suggested such an approach, but I do recall them expressing the notion that going on strike was designed to bring the economy to collapse so this would aid in this endeavor. My concern was exactly the same as yours. The wrong ideology would be well positioned to take over.

your choice, you made it. Where are his parents???

Oops!!!!!!!!!
