  1. Dude, those are just a handful of songs. Not to say that AC/DC are homogenic but they have a definitive sound. Integrity yes. Wide-reaching sound? Not quite as much...which doesn't really say a lot. ego makes me smirk.
  2. Hmm...monetary developments happening all over the world and military partnerships happening all over the world? naw. " - I think it was the Financial Times - condemning Morales as moving towards dictatorship because he was calling for nationalization of oil. They omitted to mention, with the support of about 90% of the population. But that's tyranny. Tyranny means you don't do what the United States says. Just like moderation means that you're like Saudi Arabia and you do do what we say."
  3. Curious how the Mayan Calendar's renewal coincides with the US Election in 2012.
  4. He has the greatest job in the world.
  5. What a great question. It's hard to answer truly righteously as this is a great board to read/post on. I think it's interesting that many of the answers would be best suited to a 'why do you like AC/DC or Aeorsmith better' rather than 'which band is better' I do appreciate reading the answers that truly suit the question. I think AC/DC is cooler and I think they have more integrity as they have a great sound and feel. I think Aerosmith have more diverse songs and sounds. I know nothing of how they work together and play off one another because I never really cared to get into their albums... ...but threads like this make me think. And Schwa. - Thankyou for tilting my head to try to beat the shadow. I can't wait for holographic computer monitors.
  6. If meat is treated for e.coli it can hold more feces before it becomes 'unsafe'.
  7. She doesn't have to care what anybody thinks, so she doesn't and it's obvious. I like the look of her sleekness. And the way she washes cars while eating hamburgers.
  8. Glad they didn't take the Musical instruments and your CD collection. Money can't buy your vibes, guys. Glad you're warm and secure.
  9. Yeah! Those guys are the Cat's Ass. And like those little tapeworm bits, their good vibes rub off on all of us.
  10. I would have to ask you what services you want because you can get a great plan and have more time than you'll ever need for about $75. 1000 minutes LD $5 Roadside assistance $5 Voicemail, call waiting, call display, and a bunch of text messages $10 unlimited calling to your 5 top numbers $5 (there's $25 right there. if you don't want anything at all you'll spend about $45 for a worthwhile plan) Get a plan with free evenings and weekends that start early. 700 daytime minutes - $45 This is Rogers Pricing. I've heard a lot of people complain about Rogers but I've had nothing but great experiences with Rogers. They always help me when they/I fuck up and like to credit my account to keep me happy. I would presume the crazy shouting fools get no help. If you want to shop around for the cheapest buyout rate, Rogers just recently upped theirs to $400 instead of $200 for 3 year contracts.
  11. is it truly free or just affordable? you 'on the list'?
  12. Perhaps you can point out how peoples' typical voting priorities (money) have really ever been specifically fulfilled. Lower GST? My comparison to Dion is more of a personal one, not a professional one. harper or layton don't seem to be people I'd meet buying groceries. I'm not at all suprised that the media specifically doesn't mention him. I also don't mind pointing it out.
  13. Just say you suck dick for weed. They'll listen to anything you have to say.
  14. Hates Jambands. Wants to suck off Al Schnier almost nightly.

    Factoids

    Factoid From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A factoid is a spurious (unverified, incorrect, or invented) "fact" intended to create or prolong public exposure or to manipulate public opinion. It appears in the Oxford English Dictionary[1] as "something which becomes accepted as fact, although it may not be true", namely a speculation or an assumption. The term was coined by Norman Mailer in his 1973 biography of Marilyn Monroe.[2] Mailer described a factoid as "facts which have no existence before appearing in a magazine or newspaper", and created the word by combining the word fact and the ending -oid to mean "like a fact".[3][4] There are strong connections between factoids and urban legends.Contents Examples Many residents of the Australian city of Mount Isa believe that their city, in terms of its area, is the world's largest or second largest. In reality Mount Isa is the largest city in Australia, but there are several cities around the world with larger incorporated areas. Their own local council web site incorrectly suggests it is the second largest city on earth.[5] The media in Canada have often reported that the city of Toronto was named by UNESCO as the most multicultural city in the world. Although there have been some reports suggesting that Toronto may be one of the world's most diverse cities (see Demographics of Toronto), the United Nations agency has never designated any city as being the most multicultural or diverse.[6] Nonetheless, the belief in this status persisted for years, even finding its way onto UNESCO's own web site,[7] into the pages of the New York Times[8] and The Economist,[9] and into international media reports in respect of Toronto's two Olympic bids. The Great Wall of China is often thought as being the only man-made object visible from the moon.[10] Other meanings The word factoid is now sometimes also used to mean a small piece of true but valueless or insignificant information, in contrast to the original definition. This has been popularized by the CNN Headline News TV channel, which, during the 1980s and 1990s, used to frequently include such a fact under the heading "factoid" during newscasts. In the United Kingdom, BBC Radio 2 presenter Steve Wright uses factoids extensively on his show.[11] As a result of confusion over the meaning of factoid, some English-language style and usage guides recommend against its use.[12] Language expert William Safire in his On Language column advocated the use of the word factlet to express a "little bit of arcana"[13]. So I was watching the primaries on CNN and an ad for 'clean coal' came up. here are some factoids I found at americaspower.org Factoids Coal provides America’s railroads with more traffic and revenue than any other commodity. A typical train car holds between 115 and 117 tons of coal. Wyoming is the largest coal-producing state. Coal accounts for half of the electricity use in the U.S. Coal costs less than any other major fossil fuel source. The world’s largest producers and consumers of coal are China, Poland, Russia, India and the United States. Total world consumption of marketed energy is projected to increase by 57 percent from 2004 to 2030. Coal’s share of total world energy use climbed from 25 percent in 2003 to 26 percent in 2004 and is expected to increase to 28 percent by 2030. America has more than 250 billion tons of recoverable coal reserves, the equivalent of 800 billion barrels of oil, more than three times Saudi Arabia’s proven oil reserves. Texas is the largest coal-consuming state in the U.S. and is the largest consumer of electricity. According to an electric power industry journal, 23 of the 25 power plants in the U.S. that have the lowest operating costs (and therefore provide power to their consumers at the lowest prices) are powered by coal. Today, America’s coal-based generating fleet is 70% cleaner (based upon regulated emissions per unit of energy produced) thanks, in part, to $50 billion invested in new technologies. Since 1970, the use of coal to generate electricity in the U.S. has nearly tripled in response to growing electricity demand. U.S. electricity demand continues to increase even as energy efficiency gains are made. Despite the fact that we are continuing to become more energy efficient, the U.S. Energy Information Administration projects that electricity demand will grow by 41% by 2030. Using coal to generate electricity is less than a 1/3 of the cost of other fuels. Intermittent energy resources like wind and solar are used for meeting peak energy demand because they are not always available. That is different from coal, which is used to provide “baseload†power — the constant, steady supply of electricity we depend upon throughout the day. America has more than 200 years of available coal reserves. motherfucker.
  16. a $100 'Carrot'?? How about one more day off? Pay a bill? One month of Car Insurance would be nice. A Prepaid Mastercard with $80 on it? (they usually cost $20 for a setup fee I think... The gift idea is nice but when it comes down to it someone can say 'I'll just buy myself something nice - fuck it' which goes around the 'above and beyond' idea but I think you'd have more people really try to win if it were a bit more relevant than a gift certificate or gadget. I like Boko's petrocan card idea. (What if they don't drive??) Trying to get you a raise, .r.
  17. Awesome! That's a great idea to start some community!
  18. He's pretty much nowhere in the media. He's a realcandidate and he doesn't appear on numerous websites and had no showing on CNN (and no comment that he wasn't participating) It's easily the most frustrating thing I've seen in years...but again no suprise. So I move on.
  19. Kleen Glo. It should be called 'elbow grease' http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf81404207.tip.html
  20. There's a difference between being conservative and being A conservative It is all in the haircut.
  21. Maybe she has a big floppy beaver she wants to make taut and snappy.
  22. I just noticed how CNN chose for Ron Paul the weakest dumbest looking photo for the campaign '08 website. Ridiculous. He supports the Gov't having less control over civil liberties and the people having more power...I would presume this is exactly the reason that big media would paint him as a fool. He's way righty but check him out on the issues. http://www.ronpaul2008.com/ Dr. Paul seems like a really nice guy. I'm almost suprised that he's a politician. His message is one of freedom and he almost seems suprised to be doing as well as he is. He sort of reminds me of Dion.
