Hot pizza>room temp pizza>cold pizza

I would be interested in a fantasy American football league come fall :thumbup:

Pizza sauce that has the temperature of lava is never worth it. Never.

To be honest, I wasn't all that impressed with the premiere. It was good, but I wasn't on the edge of my seat or anything. I thought it could have been much more suspenseful if Walter wasn't yammering away the entire scene.

I started reading On the Road today. It's alright so far, but I don't like his extreme disliking of Hemingway.

While that is true, we aren't talking about the rest of the world's poverty issues and I think every one of us here is aware that there are billions of people in this world that experience a type of poverty that we will never be able to relate to. We have to keep in mind the context of America. What is the cost of living? What are our cultural values? What are our societal values? What is the value of our currency? While comparing incomes and living conditions across the globe can provide some staggering results, I don't exactly think that it's fair to demonize the American poor. It is immensely difficult to go against the cultural goal of this country, and that is lavish prosperity. Like magekillr said, television sets can be purchased at ridiculously low prices; the same goes for personal computers as well. Now I don't think that a family that is going hungry but has cable television is doing the right thing, but say their cable/internet bill is around $70/mo. Those of us who are buying groceries on a regular basis know that $70/mo is not very much for, say, groceries--especially for an entire family. Like I said, not smart, but not let's not demonize these people. I'm not demonizing. But I find it hard to have pity on people who use the government for necessities while spending on luxuries. Basic appliances are not luxuries - but multiple televisions, cable, internet, gaming consoles - those are luxuries. Hell, I'm not even poor (though not exactly rich) and we don't have cable, or gaming consoles, or multiple televisions just because there is a better, more practical use for the money than that. No, no, no I wasn't saying you were demonizing. I'm just saying in general because I have a feeling that's what this thread will turn into.

Someone call Alex Jones!

Isn't it illegal to have any open containers in the vehicle, regardless of age? My friend has relatives that live in Norway and he said (don't quote me on this) when they visited last he found out that if you get an OWI there, you lose your license forever, but everyone else in the car can be drunk and have open containers.

Girls that dye their hair blonde or light colored and have dark eyebrows or vise versa. It makes them look really stupid.

And why Jeff shouldn't have gone green. Uppity bugger and his post editing abilities. For the record I don't want to taste anyone on TIF. Post editing abilities? Dunno what you're talking. :mellow: Oh the last laugh shall be sweetest ;-)

Budweisers=Diesels, but I'm sure some would find you tasty as well... I want to taste you.

It tastes horrible, I agree...but it's cheap and always on offer :P Both of you can go to hell! Diesels are tasty :P

Look, I understand that smoke is not good for you, but cannabis smoke is non-lethal. Inhaling some butane fumes from a BIC lighter is also non-lethal. I'm not purporting at all that cannabis smoke is necessarily good for your health, but it is not lethal.

All smoke is not created equal. It is the properties of the substance that is being ignited that make smoke harmful or not.

That is hogwash. Cannabis use has not killed anyone. The only argument can be made for that is people that roll spliffs or joints that have both tobacco and cannabis in them. Other than that, cannabis is non-lethal.

What? What? Those sentences don't make any sense. What are you insinuating?

I noticed your presence here was reduced. I thought you just gave up on the push ups heh.

Yeah, there's a big difference between smoking $60-$80 in street price cannabis and smoking cannabis that you are getting for cost; the prices that small time dealers charge are ridiculous compared to what they get it for (and what that guy gets it for too, all the way up the chain). That's the reason I quit smoking cannabis, too damn expensive and I've got a lot of bills and responsibilities coming due. Now I just do a lot of drinking instead because cheap liquor is better than cheap bud :P What?

You'd be surprised, I know many people whose cannabis consumption is much higher than that. And the price is even more so for harder drugs and pills too.

I think the investigation by Parliament and the FBI will definitely tarnish his name, but there are enough sheeple that will continue to buy his newspapers and watch his programming that are totally oblivious to the scandal.

Everyone has to fight in Rune. How about that? :lol:

Who is this guy and what rock has he been hiding under? Oh hi there, babycakes. I wanted to drop in to see what was going on. I also noticed that Ginger_Warrior was posting again, and I love his posts...so I decided to come back regularly. Babycakes.....heh. It's good to see you posting again.
