So far I got you beat, my hometown of Granite Falls, WA has a population of 3,364. Does hometown mean town? I live in a village. Yes, hometown is where you grew up. Technically speaking the town I live in is a village.

But it is directed by Tarsem Singh who also directed The Fall, which is a beautifully directed movie. That's why I will give it a chance, even though it is only going to be in 3D... Yes, The Fall was a spectacularly beautiful movie. I will give it a chance.

Everyone is guilty of it, but it is knowing when to stop that is most important :razz:

Then the definition of a leader is subjective, implying that an effective leader is subjective too, no? No, the definition of leader is someone who leads a country, movement, coup, or whatever you want to call it. The person at the top of it all. Whether or not that person is in control or is simply a figurehead is irrelevant. In Libya, Gadhafi has been an effective leader for the people that support him. You are trying to split hairs that have already been split. Arguing for arguing's sake is pointless.

Damn you steve!!! But! Are you living there right now?? :shades:

Kalphite you are going to analyze yourself right out of that relationship--whatever it may be. Stop thinking, give her space, be patient and kind, and you will do fine :thumbup:

I am accepting any and all challenges to the title of member from the smallest town. 3,568 at the 2010 census.

It is a good idea, but those of us that do not live in densely populated areas would be easily identifiable. Not that I am paranoid or anything, I am just saying...

You are projecting the democratic definition of a leader onto all leaders. I do not think what he is doing is right, but he is effective in the same sense that many eclectic dictators are.

They are not nearly the same. Good is subjective. Effective means the leader does what he wants and accomplishes his or her goals despite what means are taken to achieve them.

"Good" and "effective" are probably being confused in this case.

I remember that thread. Can't remember if it ever got completed or not. Yeah and I am far too lazy to go digging for it :P

Beer-boiled Johnsonvilles straight off the grill, baked beans, potato salad, and chips. There is nothing better than a good old fashioned 'Merkin backyard barbeque on a hot afternoon.

YES YES YES YES :grin: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Just make sure that doesn't turn into driving... Thanks, Mom! :wink: Just kidding...that is exactly why we went riding bikes. I live in a town of about 3,000 and there is no traffic out past 10 PM so we cruised the town for about two hours.

I think there was a thread over in RS General or something that was attempting to get all fifty states represented by forum members. I know I was on the list for WI. I have not seen the thread in a really long time.

Got good and sloshed last night and went for a long bike ride with some friends. I have never ridden a bicycle drunk before and it was so much fun.

Don't you know? Football's on Sunday. To be fair, they do not exactly read the Bible. They just listen to whichever excerpts happen to be chosen and put in the weekly handout.

Since there is no such thing as "race" I put "other" as I always do when I am asked that question. As far as religious beliefs, I am part of the majority. Nice to see you tearing it up in Off-Topic Croce :razz:

Don't you know? Americans only read the Bible on Sundays! :lol:

I am thinking about taking tomorrow off work and having myself a solid four day 4th of July weekend. I would only be working four hours tomorrow and I do not really need the money sooo....I am thinking the weekend of inebriation should start tonight!

Good choice on the Diesels (Budweiser) :thumbup: But 15 packs? I have never seen that before. Beer is usually divided 6/12/18/24 and the occasional 30 pack if you live in Wisconsin lol.

Yeah it really was not all that crazy, I just said he tried too :razz: I could go on for hours about how much Christopher Nolan annoys me, but that is more for the MM&T board heh.

Like I said, he makes emotionless films. I did not like Inception because I felt he tried too hard to make a "crazy" plot. His characters were underdeveloped and I found myself not caring at all about their fates. I was able to follow the plot well enough even on my first run through because I have seen other movies of his that had similar "crazy" plots (Memento, etc.). A majority of the movie was explaining to the audience how to navigate through the dream world, the rules of it, and so on. Sure there was the emotional aspect between the protagonist and his wife, but that was it. The other actors and actresses were just "there". I guess that is the best way I can put it. Without that emotional connection, what does the movie have left? What does the audience take away? That we do not know what is real and what is not? I remember the Matrix, too. Again, I think he tried far too hard to make a "crazy" plot and failed to include crucial emotional elements to the story.
