well, some here think that all we do is sit around a post naughty pics and do no charitable or volunteer work.

i thought we could see who does what for their respective communities.

valis= free computer support dallas shakespeare festival + on the wing again bird sanctuary/rescue, photopgraphic web hosting services for the bob marley festival of dallas, am about to start w/the down's syndrome guild of dallas doing web support and event work/soliciting charitable donations from companies, and my teaching that means working many hours unpaid to help my students personally/educationally.

It is not reasonable to assume that time devoted to posting here is time that even COULD be spent elsewhere. For many people (including myself), the computer is on for most of the day checking it from time to time to get email and the like is as much a part of the day as any other task. There is no steady period when I am on here, and even if I were to post several times throughout the day it does not necessarally mean that it is more than a passing activity among many other tasks. If I were to stop using the computer in the course of my day, I would not suddenly find myself with an available block of time.

..if the usa win their next 3 world cup games, and england win their next 2 games, then the usa and england will meet in the final to decide who will win the world cup?.

if that happens, unlikely as it is that the usa will defeat mexico tomorrow.

ChuckD

Clearly, it would decide the fate of the entire world. Citizens (or in your case, "subjects") of the losing country should be forced to wear their underpants on their heads for the rest of the year.

Francois,

Can you direct me to some copy of that legislation as it was proposed? It sounds a bit "Urban Legend"-ish to me, and while I don't doubt that you are honestly telling us what you were told, I would be surprised if the actual legislation, as proposed, said as much. Let's face it, tales like this have a tendency to spin their way through the Rush Limbaughs of the world before they reach the public, and they are often changed to the point where they sound very different than they are. Case in point, at one time, some folks were telling stories about this "liberal" that proposed a law requiring that all 5-gallon plastic buckets be equipped with a hole at the bottom so that liquid would not accumulate and make it dangerous for toddlers. The story was that they were crazy enough to want a law like this. The fact was that it only involved putting a waring label on the buckets, but by the time it made tthe rounds it was much crazier sounding.
