Quite true. Is China really an "empire"?

Certainly a factor. But why more so than other cultural groups? Maybe a little Darwinism comes into play. Survival of Species? Pardon me for what I am sure will be construed as politically incorrect, but what the hell. 5000 years of discrimination. The dumb ones didn't make it. (Heard...

Thanks Babak, I figured it must have been something along those lines. Is it safe to assume I would have gotten the same answer from Traderfut? Only time will tell. Fred to you my Man, :)Rs7

OK, here I go. I am about to become guilty of the very issue I have complained about. I will paste something here. Hate to do it, but I am in need of a "fix" of a Traderfut rebuttal. So here goes: ARAB/ISLAMIC: > > > > Muslims number 200,000,000 ... about 20% of the > > world's...

Yeah, well don't feel so bad. You can be dumb at an older age too. I had a 66mhz 486. I "upgraded" to a pentium 90. So the "upgrade" left me with my case, my floppy drives (yeah, had a 5 1/4 inch one too), and maybe the power supply. And sound and video cards I guess. And a CD ROM drive that...

Anything is "possible".....but so unlikely as to be virtually impossible. More likely to get struck by lightning, win the lottery and hear a funny anti Islam joke from Traderfut2000 all simultaneously while attending a speech given by Thunderbolt on how he is really the biological father of...

I will bet you $10,000,000,000.00 you are wrong!!! :):D :D :D

Three old men are discussing their sex lives. The Italian man says, "Last week, my wife and I had great sex. I rubbed her body all over with olive oil, we made passionate love, and she screamed for 5 minutes at the end." The Frenchman boasts, "Last week when my wife and I had sex, I...

Ever see the Twilight Zone episode where a gambler dies and in the "afterlife" he wins every bet? He thinks he is in heaven, but it was actually hell. :)Piece to FPC:) Peace to all, :)rs7

I lived in Vegas for a few years. Worked in the casinos for some of that time (dice dealer and boxman). Employees could not play table games, but could play machines on breaks. Must have played a billion hands of video poker. Got one Royal the whole time (and only had one quarter in:(). Did...

"just follovink orders"

If this is Cathy speaking, I am glad I am not Bob. If this is Bob speaking, I am glad I am not Bob. :)

Bad? Says who? As for your dream....it is already realized. Find a NEW cause:) Always good to have another holiday. A GG day would be fine with me. Close the banks, the markets and postal delivery, all in the name of GG:) Rent the movie "Woodstock". (Probably the best documentary of all...

And give up on the fun of laughing at his absurd contentions?

Well, yes and no. It is important to remember that we did not enter the "Vietnam War" with a plan to "win", we entered to "stabilize" a country that had been unstable for hundreds of years. The French tried to impose their culture, were unwelcome, and mistakenly did not give up for far too long...

Good start Optional. very different from Vietnam. I would also add that the Viet Cong was a factor that is unlikely to ever be encountered in such a way again. It was not so much the confusion you mentioned about our S. Vietnamese "allies" and the North's ARVN, it was the Viet Cong who were...

I agree with this. And it describes how I have lived. But it depends on the individual. Some people are more focused than me, and want a profession. Some want variety. Some just want to "go with the flow".....there is no right or wrong. Just whatever comes naturally and feels right. My wife...

I am the last guy to know about computer hardware. But I do know enough to know if you are using a dial up modem, you have a telephone. And if you have a telephone, you should never be stuck in a position the way you describe. peace, :)rs7

Not remotely possible. For too many reasons to even begin to explain.

Another gem from O777.... Great post....because it is exactly accurate. Peace, :)Rs7
