ranting and raving

Where can I get one of those? (I'd change republicans to politicians though)

selected song lyrics:

lou reed - walk on the wild side

Candy came from out on the Island
In the backroom she was everybody's darlin'
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She says, Hey babe
Take a walk on the wild side.

grateful dead - truckin'

What in the world ever became of sweet Jane?
She lost her sparkle you know she isn't the same
Living on reds and vitamin C and cocaine
All her friends can say is ain't it a shame

ok, given the bolded sections of these songs, why the hell do they bleep out this song?

third eye blind - semi charmed life

I'm packed and I'm holding,
I'm smiling, she's living, she's golden and
she lives for me, She says she lives for me,
Ovation, She's got her own motivation,
she comes round and she goes down on me,
And I make her smile, It's like a drug for you,
Do ever what you want to do,
Coming over you,
Keep on smiling,
what we go through.
One stop to the rhythm that divides you,
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse,
Chop another line like a coda with a curse,
And I come on like a freak show takes the stage.
We give them the games we play, she said,
I want something else, to get me through this,
Semi-charmed kind of life,
I want something else,
I'm not listening when you say, Good-bye.

The sky it was gold, it was rose,
I was taking sips of it through my nose,
And I wish I could get back there,
Some place back there,
Smiling in the pictures you would take,
Doing crystal myth,
Will lift you up until you break,
It won't stop,
I won't come down, I keep stock,
With a tick tock rhythm and a bump for the drop,
And then I bumped up. I took the hit I was given,
Then I bumped again,
And then I bumped again.
How do I get back there to,
The place where I fell asleep inside you?
How do I get myself back to,
The place where you said,
I want something else to get me through this,
semi-charmed kind of life,
I want something else,
I'm not listening when you say, good-bye,

I believe in the sand beneath my toes,
The beach gives a feeling,
An earthy feeling,
I believe in the faith that grows,
And the four right chords can make me cry,
When I'm with you I feel like I could die.
And that would be all right,
All right, When the plane came in,
She said she was crashing,
The velvet it rips,
In the city we tripped,
On the urge to feel alive,
But now I'm struggling to survive,
The days you were wearing,
That velvet dress,
You're the priestess,
must confess,
Those little red panties,
They pass the test,
Slide up around the belly,
Face down on the mattress,
One,
Now you hold me,
And we're broken.
Still it's all that I want to do.
Feel myself with a head made of the ground,
I'm scared but I'm not coming down.
And I won't run for my life,
She's got her jaws just locked now in smile
but nothing is all right,
All right, I want something else,
To get me through this,
Semi-charmed kind of life,
I want something else,
I'm not listening when you say,
good-bye.

what do you value more - politeness or consideration?

example: polite - fart and say "excuse me", considerate - leave the room to fart and say "damn beans".

[pariann]

considerate first...polite if necessary

[awol]

thanks.

not a real popular topic it seems.

[pariann]

I'm all about not popular....I play with the underdogs.

[tallulahdahling]

Neither--just fart and blame it on the chick with the big boobs standing next to you!

[followsthewolf]

Sooooo.........what does the chick with the big boobs do when she farts?

(straight line)

misinformation.

dangerous in certain situations, harmful in others, but in trivia, its...well...trivial.

does it matter whether the guy in the statue was killed in battle and you can tell 'cuz the horse he is on has 2 feet in the air?

nope.  not one bit.  unless yer doin' a paper on "this guy", and you happen to be wrong about this detail of his life, and yer major is "the life and times of this guy".  then you'll be the laughingstock of the "the life and times of" department of the college.  you'll never get your masters degree in "this guy", much less yer phd.

but i digress.

who does it hurt to say "golf" originated from an acronym, or the kid from the wonder years is marylin manson?  (other than marylin manson)

get a grip, fuckers.

choose yer battles.  some don't make a shit-bit of difference.

Nobody said it was serious. Just a bit of harmless word play and pi$$in' around.

And you're right. It isn't serious. But, man, don't you bust a gut over such a harmless little diversion.

Throw back another one and relax.

If I owned shares of Halliburton, I'd be a hypocrite, and a hypocrite I am not (or try not to be).

this quote got me thinkin'.  what's yer price?  what do you sell your credibility for?

anyone?

[awol]

...It is my opinion that you have to disengage a large part of your brain to believe in such malarky.

you wanna get rich?  invent something that takes away the need to think.  when mcdonalds started out, there were many people who thought it would go under - "why would i pay someone to make something i can make at home?"  why.

linux is superior to any microsoft operating system in almost every way.  and much cheaper.  why would anyone use windows?  you don't have to think about it.

people don't like to have to think for themselves or do for themselves, and if they can throw money at someone to do/think for them, they will.

Do you know why Microsoft is king in the business world? It's precisely because of what you said - people don't/can't think for themselves. They wnat everything to be "compatible" with their Word or Excel, etc. Yes, I know. You can produce "compatible" documents with Open Office.

But try to send an attachment via e-mail to someone who doesn't know how to do anything but click on the attachment to open it. They're lost. They don't know how to setup assocations for attachments and heaven forbid you tell them to save the attachment and then open it with their application.

Been there, Dude!

that sounds like democrats....let's let Government do the thinking for us...they know how to spend our hard earned money better than we do....just tax us, and distribute it to those who need it....yeah that's it!...
