  1. I lost the order. You may be right. But I think brother theo liked that one, so go easy.
  2. Agreed. I don't know anyone our age who doesn't think that it was the beginning of the down slope for U2.
  3. [Jackie voice] Awwwww come on!!! That's funny!!!!1! [/Jackie Voice]
  4. Do you think the album title is a message to Tweedy?
  5. Take it up with the AP it's their article. Christ. Here's more stuff to talk to your kids about. A couple of young ones just died near here doing this. http://www.stop-the-choking-game.com/en/home.html
  6. The truth is that many of these guys are more qualified to run the country than those that we put in power. Not everyone is interested in giving up the allure of the private sector though.
  7. uh. yep. exactly. and it has nothing to do with Obama.
  8. Right. I blame the reader. That's what makes it interesting.
  9. Am I missing the part where it mentions Obama at all? Seems like a heap of defensive overreaction to normal email spam.
  10. why don't you post my address and phone # while you're at it
  11. Those are the laziest goddamn animals I've ever seen.
  12. I'm really not clear what your point is. We're competing with an Asian market who does it cheaper and better. Precedent in this country indicates that mfging will continue to move to countries where it's ever cheaper to mfg.
  13. My point was really speaking to the fact that we gave up on manufacturing along time ago, and the damage is done. If you did your research you'd see that yes, Japan, Korea and other Asian countries don't have the same environmental restrictions we have here, and that the manufacturing and labor are, as a whole, cheaper there. If you don't think our cars are eventually coming from third world countries you're simply delusional.But wtf do I know? I just saw the countries lsargest mfg industry go offshore.
  14. The textile industry far eclipsed the auto industry as the largest manufacturing industry in the country. We let that go without a whimper. Fuck, few probably even realize all their clothes, bedding, towels, curtains etc etc are all made in China and Pakistan and India. The idea that we can compete against foreign companies on unlevel compensation and environmental restrictions fields is utterly ridiculous. It costs ways more to do the same thing domestically as it does offshore.
  15. I now feel bad about editing out the 'asshole' part of my earlier post.
