Little David was in his 5th grade class in a school in Washington when the teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up -- Fireman, policeman, salesman, etc... David was being uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher asked him about...

Forget it Pabst. Just busting your balls. I really don't care that much. Sorry the market blew you out. At least you have rich parents, since you are concerned with the "death tax". I know it's not going to effect MY inheritance. So I don't care about that tax at all. Never going to...

AAA, we agree obviously agree that the ballot was confusing. If it was the Democrats who were in control of the PBC election board, as they were, how does this make it OK for Pabst to think it's humorous that the elderly were in many cases at a disadvantage as far as casting their votes as to...

Pabst, why do you even care about all this? Don't you have politics in the part of the world in which you live to concern yourself with? "Hillaryus"...how clever. You should write a book! I myself voted on that "butterfly ballot" and it WAS confusing. And I am tall enough to have seen it...

Interesting statement. With all your cheerleading for Bush, I thought you were an American. Obviously I was mistaken. Sorry for coming to such an inaccurate assumption. Shame on me. :( RS

That is pretty interesting. I had heard that in the 1960's, Robert Kennedy had produced some anti-smoking films (I guess for a TV campaign) that showed postmortem films or still photos of the lungs of cancer victims. The campaign was never aired because they were deemed too horrifying. And...

Yeah, but he's tied with "nonexistent", so what is YOUR point? That an incumbent candidate is ahead in the polls against non nominees? OK, very impressive (and pretty funny, but I have the feeling you weren't going for humor). Great thread. Bush is wonderful and will surely win in...

Good post. Good points. But the thing is, we have gotten off topic. Which again is no sin, since it happens with virtually every thread on ET. So, giving in to this reality, let me ask you this. If, (for an extreme example), civil rights were to be determined to mean that anyone could...

So? Bush is probably kicking my ass in the polls too. And just like Hillary, I'm not running either. So leading someone who isn't even trying to get the nomination is a big accomplishment? If Bush is so popular, how do you explain this part of the poll?: "While Bush leads individual...

Yeah, I will quote myself again on this. (at the risk of going off topic). I had said here before that if that if the Arab world disarmed, there would be no more war in the Middle East. If Israel disarmed, there would be no more Israel in the Middle East. So fucking sad! :(RS

As far as I understand the law, in Florida, this is the case (as far as smoking). You MAY allow smoking in a bar. But then the rules are different. No kids, for one thing. As far as the other stuff (allowing the use of drugs), that is a different issue entirely. I agree though. If...

Hey Surf...Pick up a newspaper once in a while:) (Israel Defense Forces). JK...no one expects you to know everything....although you do a pretty good job of giving that impression at times. I agree with this, and I don't think Rearden would disagree either. I think (I could be wrong) that he...

Cigars are a different animal. I too occasionally will smoke a cigar. Less and less. When I travel, I will get Cubans just because I can. (Funny thing though is what used to be my favorites...Davidoffs....are no longer Cuban...). Even when cigarette smoking was permitted pretty much...

OK, so we have established that the US, Canada and Australia have programs and statutes to reduce smoking. What about countries where English is not the predominant language? ??:confused: Peace, :)RS

Hey guys (and the relatively few gals of ET)...just posting to get this to the top again. I was hoping for a bigger sampling in the poll. How is it possible that more people responded to what kinds of illegal drugs they prefer than to a subject like this, that truly affects non smokers...

HUH? There have been plenty of religious Presidents. probably the vast majority of them were religious. None of them caused us to live "under a religious government". (at least not yet). During the campaign between Kennedy and Nixon in 1960, there was a lot of negative campaigning done...

The States determine eligibility and term and amount of benefits. It depends on where you live. (I am pretty sure it's a federal program, but it is administered by the state you live in. Pretty confusing). There may be a waiting period. So if your place of business closes down, you may want...

What words in the post could possibly be construed as bashing Bush? Did I miss something? Looked like a straight news story to me. :confused: Peace, :)RS

Good post AAA! You and Hapaboy are (IMO) the voices of reason from the right (usually). Keep up the good work. And an open mind. I promise to try and do the same. How do you compose a post like this and then come back with your "everything liberal (or worse, everything NOT...

Similar background here. I can see how some people may have been offended by his "same place" comment. But it shouldn't be due to a perception of anti-semitism, or any version of racism at all. Having said that, I will agree it was not exactly a statement made with any degree of...
