Dude, that's an adjective, not her name, lol. :p

There are reasons why union membership has declined, but the economic benefit is entirely one sided. And most of the reasons have the Koch Bros fingerprints all over them. There were sound reasons for the unions to be created, and I suppose those reasons [pay, benefits, safety, and fair...

That whole Marie Antoinette "let them eat cake" response to people who have been stomped on is not going to suffice forever - just saying. And I'd like to remind you that you're shouting [and mansplaining] to someone who works for a living, and has since age 14. i haven't asked you [or...

"Suspenseful scenes, fast cars and romance"? I think the Fast and Furious movies got all that covered, lol.

Sure - just hold your breath till I get back with it. :brb::kiss:

Minor league names, OTOH, are awesomesauce. Today, I saw an ad for tickets to see the Albuquerque Isotopes. Not quite as cool as the Toledo Mudhens, but close, lol.

Perhaps [before the allegation] you hadn't, at least in your mind, but nobody here is much good at telepathy [in spite of those who are sure they are], so someone thought you did. Just for the sake of argument [because you won't quit], let's say you did not defend Preacher Rich in the comment...

Left office, but still, relied on the name recognition to land the next high income spot. And I don't know if it applies to him, but many make brazillions off the speaker gigs, and maybe he's planning to write a book, too - none of that is worth a hill of beans [income wise] if his name is...

Wait - stripper pole?!! :eek:

Puhleeze. Names [even nicknames & usernames/avatars] have associative powers. You don't see any major league sports team called the Pink Powderpuffs for a reason. The name Preacher implies a God fearing Christian, if not a genuine Preacher, which most people infer means a 'good' person. Call...

Just playing devil's advocate here, but what if Hastert didn't actually DO anything wrong, but believed the mere allegation would be worth paying someone to keep quiet? [As a powerful legislator, he'd make more than enough to cover the loss] After all, that's what companies say they're doing...

That's not rude, and neither is it "hard truth". It's an opinion, is all. To most people, Obama was a "nobody" when he began his run. To those who knew and supported his decision, he was definitely somebody.

I say she's not - and good for us! Partly because we just had our first black president, and the experience wasn't encouraging. I think some of us need to evolve more before we try anything radical like a non white male again - but they won't get a long time to adapt, IMO. Also [and especially]...

Merely using publicly the name "Preacher" implies it. People who are genuinely praiseworthy are almost always the last ones you'll hear it from, which makes me suspicious of anyone who says [or implies via appellation] that they are "good people".

Notice I said "AND THEN YOU DID". Good grief. :asshat:

You did not reply to a single point I made - just parroted more of what the right wing media tells you is happening, illustrated with anecdotes. Impressive: not at all. There are people who have graduated from high school, and from college too, and had a decent job, until it got yanked out...

If you have an intelligent [or even halfway] comment to make, or some rebuttal that would prove what I said is wrong, then go for it. ^This^ doesn't qualify. I work in a field that is choked with regulations, and while I dislike many of them, I understand the reasoning behind them. When...

He'd be wiser to say the woman he wants to see naked is the one who wants him to watch the movie with her, but we are talking about people who used an "athletic cup" for decades before they thought to put a helmet over their big heads, lol. :p

Science is amazing, in that the failures are as educational as the successes. and everything, no matter how inconsequential it may seem, serves as a block for building upon. I only wish cities would honor their budding science stars at least as much as the silly "achievements" they trumpet...

From what I've read about the movie [not the book, not my thing], I bet most men would enjoy the movie. Upgrades are for watching the Home Shopping Network, or any movie on Lifetime. ;)
