Why not formulate homeopathic medicines with distilled Holy Water? Sounds like a sure fire way to make some money to me. Who cares if it will cure. Cure is not important. Making money is. Right?
How about homeopathic solutions mixed with Fire Water?
What th'hell does "creatiave" mean? And "nieve". I suppose the last is a typo for "sieve". But what could the first one possibly mean?
Ray, your persistent misspellings are an embarrassment to a supposedly literate group. Please be more careful. There are outsiders evaluating us by how we use the English language...as is appropriate.
Dear A Friend (as opposed to B Friend, or C Friend, I guess),
What th'hell does, "What th'hell," mean?
Don't you know there are people in Hell that are watching this board and are judging you for the proper use of, "What th'hell"?
Now, maybe, "What in the hell," would make sense (but that's still bad grammar) or, "What in hell," (but that's still bad grammar). And, even if those were what you meant... I guess the shortened version if you wanted to shorten it would be, "What i'hell".
But, if you were to expand that... what would "What the hell" mean? Is that like "Go th'hell" or "I want to go th'ocean"?
Inquisitive Hellions from Hellmouth would like to know.
at least there is good reason to think not, and it is not mentioned in Lonely Planet travel guides.
Meanwhile as the debate rages about missspelling and word usage homeopaths are advertising on TV and even Bill O'Reilly is peddling that stuff. The point is well taken though. Just look how two misspellings have diverted thought from fourberie to tagmemics.
If there were a Hell, then wouldn't it be filled with priests and bishops and all those other sinful people, those who spread all this crap across the planet?
And, aren't they the ones who make the Holy Water?
So, wouldn't there be lakes of Holy Water in Hell?
Hey, you know that if there were no water in Hell, they'd bless the lava and drag it in a cross across our foreheads.

The Wind: You must always go with the most probable in life.
In the case of the Titanium House. If a person had a need to protect themselves, if a person were to think of what the most indestructible thing is, the thing that would come to mind is Titanium. If a person were to build their house from that most indestructible thing, then they would certainly be protected from anything, at least in their mind.
And, everybody knows that when you want to be protected from a strong blast, you build a bomb shelter, and if you can't leave the shell of protection that you have built for yourself, then the only answer would be to build that extra thing to seal you away in the floor of the Titanium shelter.

Of course he will pretend and play mind games as if he is more reachable. He even pulled the wool over La Ruches supporters eyes. Remember when that lady politician from La Ruche came here and startied to talk that La Ruche and his people have influence on Kerry and that La Ruche and Kerry are friends?

The number of Democrats is the same as the number of Republicans in the Trilateral Commission. Why would the money oligarchy let anybody else run for their key puppet? I can imagine how the key Trilateral commission members look down from their skyscraper (today’s ivory tower) and laugh at the dumb people who really believe this farce where they let two of their puppets fight and believe that this is "true" and "real" democracy. I can imagine the pity coming down from their ivory tower: how stupid must those sheep down their be to buy into this farce. No wonder that we can manipulate them as we please. If they were just a little bit more intelligent, they would be here with us laughing at them idiots down there, but no, they are too stupid to see the obvious and understand the obvious. That’s why we are up here and them idiots down there where they will remain forever.

We want survive if we don’t wake up. The problems that are coming in over direction are unemployment do to automatisation, environmental changes of unknown magnitude and also terrorism. It’s not only one problem that would be more enough as an overkill but it’s three of them at once that are coming our way as a huge concrete wall. The problem is that we don’t have another 20-30 years to play games and chose one puppet over another. If we don’t manage to start waking up in next 10 years the most, their want be no reason to start waking up in 20 years from now because then it will too late even if you were to become the president then.

They should read the CIA report http://www.cia.gov/terrorism/publications/Counter_Terrorism_Strategy.pdf . It says almost the same as all other secret services analysis that terrorism cannot be defeated only with military means. In order to defeat terrorism for good, one would have to do that what Steve recommended after 9/11 and that is: "we have to change the way we go around doing business".

I agree and am aware of the dangers of such an undertaking but this gamble gives us at least a 60/40 % chance of surviving where if we lose time playing with puppet Kerry who’s a mastermind conman, our chance of survival is not more than one third.

Of course he is reachable, that’s his mission. One can go to him and he will be full of understanding and tell one exactly whatever one wants to hear. Whoever that might be.

Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, mid-nineteenth century: "If the conditions at a certain time are such that almost everyone knows privately that the whole thing is wrong, is untrue, while no one will say so officially; when the tactic used by the leaders is: Let us simply hold on, behave as though nothing had happened, answer every attack with silence, because we ourselves know only too well that everything is rotten, that we are playing false: then in that case the conditions are eo ipso condemned, and they will crash. Just as one says that death has marked a man, so we recognize the symptoms which unquestionably demand to be attacked. It is a battle against lies."
The Democrats *and* the Republicans are equally corrupt. Voters in the united states re-elect convicted and unconvicted felons every election (e.g. Hillary Clinton, Marion Barry).
I believe there are people who want to be politicians who are honest, but either don't run now or if they do, they don't stand a chance of being elected. They say people get the government they deserve, well I don't deserver the scum in office now and I KNOW that if people voted the way I do, that we would out them all. But people just don't care about what is important. When I stand in line at the voting booth and someone walks into it and walks out 3 seconds later after obviously flicking one lever and voting straight one party, I take a long hard look at that person as he exits and know that I am looking at an IDIOT. This won't change until everyone looses everything they worked for and then they will start thinking again when they vote like the original voters in this country did before they cast their ballot.
We need term limits just to oust the rot routinely, then it will be less likely that career criminals would become politicians since it takes several years to learn the ropes to be a good thief. Then more candidates will be from idealistic cut and just want to do well for the country as opposed to having self aggrandizement as their primary motive. Term limits get rid of good politicians too, but because people don't vote out the bad guys, it is still better with term limits. And I mean SHORT ones too.

Mostly you don't get capital punishment in the US. Having it on the books and not implementing within say 18 months is worse than not having it at all. We have worse than no capital punishment.
The intent and the outcome of most hate crime laws is that what you were thinking as you commited the crime mitigates the crime and makes it worse, therefore worsening the punishment. This cheapens the exact same crime perpetrated on someone else, but not interpreted as a hate crime. If any US citizen is victim of a crime, I suggest everyone lie and try to make the legal system believe that it was a hate crime. Then once again, there will be fairness.

I am extremely skeptical about them being able to make nukes without anybody noticing.
