what is the saddest song that brings tears to your eyes just about every time you hear it?
mine is harry chapin's cats in the cradle
"Holes in the Floor of Heaven" and "If you get there before I do" both by Collin Ray always seem to choke me up. "Leader of the Band" used to get to me too. I don't remember the name of the artist, but there's another country song called "I don't call him daddy" that turns me into a blubbering mess, even when I'm driving down the highway.

i like guns.
i like the feel of them.
i like the fine engineering too.
MMMMMMMM....did someone say "Cobblers"?
On another note, it's my opinion that if the left wants to preserve any of the liberties that americans seem only too eager to give up, they need to find a way for it to fit into the NRA's agenda. I mean, any group who can successfully lobby politicians to not infringe on gun ownership at all while the country is in an uproar over terror prevention can do anything. They may as well crap gold bricks and I'd probably be less amazed. Did you know that people actually on the Terrorism watch list not only CAN but HAVE purchased weapons in this country since 9-11? It blows my mind.
Now, let me qualify this and state that I am a gun owner myself. I have two rifles that I use soley for punching small holes in paper targets at distances of up to 400 yd., so I have no real problem with legitimate sporting use of guns, but even I can see that somehow things have got to be brought under control. Congress last year repealed a standing law in the District of Columbia that banned assult weapons as well as "cop killer" ammunition, against the protest of the DC city officials. It's absolutely insane.
I guess there's just too much money for the politicians for there to be meaningful change.

just a little while ago on the elvis movie we saw bryan play the part of the judge.
we had been waiting all week in anticipation of this movie.
there were several different scenes involving judges, i think his name on the movie was judge friedman.
Well, according to some news sources in Oklahoma, some judges wear penis pumps and masturbators under their robes.
Is THAT why you were smiling like that?

this might be an stupid question....but do most persons dislike the jws or is it all relgion...im not trying to be a smart a@#...but id like to know....donald
Personally, I gave up religion for lent. I just don't have any use for organized religion. To me, it's one of the most hypocritical and corrupt parts of the entire world....and it doesn't matter the brand.
anyone know just how true this is?
i don't trust the source much, but is there anyone who knows about this?.
randy.
Actually, infowars seems to me to be more of a "conspiranoia" website rather than a "left" or "right" wing one. They are totally into the whole "Bilderberger Group" kind of stuff. Whackos for sure...there are lots of more reliable blogs and news outlets to get info from.
JMO, of course...

When Enron energy came out of bankruptcy, it's shares were about $.42 ea. It only took them about a week to be trading at $1.15. My broker is with a very conservative house and they wouldn't trade in it because it was too high risk for their tastes. GRRRR...i missed the boat on that one. At the moment, I'm tied up in some investment real estate, so I'm not too liquid at the moment.

i need this kind of information for a debate i'm having.
i think there was a thread about this before but i just can't find it.
thanks guys!
One older gent. I worked with him secularly, but he was always compassionate and down to earth. He was never pretentious and didn't strive to be the top dog. His opinions were often unpopular with the rest of the a-holes on the body, which automatically made him okay in my book.

ok, so my wife keeps telling me that it's just me, but i can't help but think that this country has gone completely quackers when i see some of the comercials on tv.
the gecko doing the "robot" , the king wanting me to eat a 50 pound breakfast sandwich, wake up with the king?
wtf, and the whole way things are just thrown in our face in the form of advertising.
They aren't on TV too much, but I can't stand the "Check in to Cash" commercials. Also all the debt consolidation commercials. the people who run these businesses are the scum of the earth. they prey on people who already can't afford day to day stuff, then get them in even deeper. Many debt consolidation home loans are the equivalant of taking your home to a pawn shop...hawking it, and then fighting to pay the vig on the note. It's endorsed extortion and loan sharking.
Okay, the king creeps me out too...and the cavemen make me laugh
As to movies....I don't pay all that much attention to the newest coming attractions but look and listen to other good referrals on indy films. I saw a good one the other day called "What Alice Found"...it was on IFC or sundance or one of those channels. It turned out pretty good.
