Amway Friends

Posted By Tony Aguire

Lee Spain said:

For the record, there is little worse than finding out that a friend sells Amway or some variation of the theme.


I got suckered into a cookout with a fellow restaraunt manager...turned out to be an Amway pitch. The guy giving the pitch asked me about my hobbies, and what my future plans for my hobbies were...I mentioned I would like to build a good sized Dob someday...the jerk had the nerve to tell me my persuits were childish, and with Amway I could make real money :S needless to say that went over like a turd in a punchbowl with me....

The guy that invited me later decided to not listen to my advice about getting out of the housing market (flipping) and ended up losing everything.

I prefer sustainable growth of wealth apposed to get rich quick thankyouverymuch wink

Limbaugh

Boy, did he step in it or what?

More Limbaugh advertisers jump ship

Considering at one point Limbaugh demanded a video tape of the young ladie's exploits so we can "see what we are paying for"...to defend him is pretty edgy at best.

Truly a case of a so called conservative invading someones bedroom...or attempting to.

Funny thing though, it's only men that are having a problem with the birth control thing, I guess women still have some work to do for equal rights :S

Ultrasounds Don't Change Minds

Well, that's good to know. No significant effects on reducing abortions at all:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/26/sunday-review/ultrasound-a-pawn-in-the-abortion-wars.html?pagewanted=all


Realistically, these bills just pay lip service to anti-abortion groups. For an in clinic abortion, there is still something place inside the womans body...for the outpatient (drug induce ablortion) an ultrasound needs to be done to assure how far along the fetus is. Drug induced abortions are not done after the first trimester.

All these bills do is keep the subject on the table and keep stirring the pot. I also think there is a political motive in that the sponsors of these bills can say to their base "look, I did something about abortion". Its all politics...sad :S

If Obama was truly a Christian would he not have said it instead of Muslim?
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

BTW, I DO own the book grin along with books by Rush, Coulter, Franken, Clinton etc...both sides of the spectrum baby wink

Obama vs. Romney on Dogs

Posted By Tony Aguire

Dave Snope said:

This has been cause for much mirth after all the liberal attacks on Romney for the old vacation dog-on-the-station-wagon story.

Jim Treacher twitters out the one-liners:
If you think Romney's dog on a car is a campaign issue, but Obama's dog on a dinner plate isn't, #YouMightBeALiberal.

Romney put a dog on top of a car. Obama put a dog on top of rice.

Romney was too busy hiding his dog on top of the car so Obama wouldn't eat it.

Yorkshire Terrier Pudding. #ObamaDogRecipes

I strongly encourage @BarackObama's staff and supporters to run with this one: "Well, he hasn't eaten any dogs LATELY."


BHO: “With Lolo, I learned how to eat small green chill peppers raw with dinner (plenty of rice), and, away from the dinner table, I was introduced to dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher), and roasted grasshopper (crunchy). Like many Indonesians, Lolo followed a brand of Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and Hindu faiths. He explained that a man took on the powers of whatever he ate: One day soon, he promised, he would bring home a piece of tiger meat for us to share.� Chapter Two of Dreams from My Father.

Obama did not make the dog suffer....He only ate it.

Any idiot that puts his dog on top of a car in an airtight crate (Romneys words) obviously has no care or empathy to suffering of a live creature.

Most of us here eat dead cows, chickens, pigs, deer, etc, daily...the animals died quickly, and supplied ntrients in the way nature intended for an omnivore.

Apples and oranges, keep reaching

Telescope system in a four-wheel-drive

Posted By Tony Aguire

Marc Leduc said:

There is somewhere an equipment designed to install a telescope mount in a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Anyone knows the web site of the seller ?

I would be interested in that too....I imagine you would need to have some system to counteract the leaning of the vehicle as the weight shifts on the suspension...something like they have on rvs?

Democracy is not the problem...the problem is the turds that game the system and screw it up, our so called elected representatives.

to keep marriage defined as between a man and a woman (over 30 states now have amendments in place banning same-sex marriage with large majority support):

http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/09/politics/north-carolina-marriage/index.html?hpt=hp_c1

politicians and courts negate the democratic will of the people.

No wonder the WP Poll showed so many people thought democracy isn't working. This is one of those rare times when a Constitutional amendment is called for in defining marriage.


Is it your life? Is it your marriage? Are you married? If you are, how would you feel if they made up some law that puts restrictions on what your "union" with your wife means.

Leave these people (GBLT) alone, let them live their own life making their own choices for themselves...if you and people like you cannot do that, then you should be willing to let others come in and mess around with your private life.

This tripe about gay marriage destrying the meaning of marriage is a joke. The divorce rate nowadays is a fine example of why this argument is false. People destroy marriages enough on their own without the help of a VERY small minority of the population wanting to show commitment and stop playing house.

And lastly, why on earth would gay marriage be such a bad thing when gays can contribute to the economy when they marry? Would not the conservative position be to take away regulations to allow for more economic growth? Instead, with the anti gay marriage crowd, y'all are putting regulations in place that have a direct impact on the economic health of this country. If we took away regulation and legalised gay marriage in all 50 states, imagine the boost to our economy...bridal shops, the food industry, automobiles (limosines), clothing all the new businesses that could spring up that could cater to a new market. The flood of gay weddings would absolutely hava HUGE impact on the markets. But that is being thrown away because people are to nosy for their own good.... ...
