See spit, some have enough lost the ability for polite discourse.
ET I am not even talking about the government stepping in. I am talking about a company taking responsibility for serving unhealthy food to unhealthy people. When does the restaurant take responsibility for their products killing people? I know I used the bar example but I did not mean government needs to step in. Sorry for the confusion.
I'd love to stay and Chat but I am heading to South Philly to tailgate for the Phillies Vs. Red Sox!! We will get them back for the Yankees tonight Tom!! Have a good weekend everyone!!
Oh and Et since you wanted to get ignorant Talk to me about responsibility when you have a job!
Only if the bosox crush the fillies. ;)Quote:

Though I can't believe the tux's didn't lose the last game... how the "defense" kept them ahead, I don't get... was nervous all through the game... sometimes you get outplayed but still get the breaks I guess...
Got my Molson Canadian on ice. Have a good evening!
Got a great pinot grigo chilled. Tastes better if you grab the stick in the garage and hit me in the face. I promise ill be smiling when you come to. ;)
Hers to good dental plans!
See now you got me in the mood for good *red* wine.
No... thatd be a pinor noir... like norman's... estancia's pinot grigio is a white.
I only give a damn cause the woman likes it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like to whine about this sort of thing once a while, too. Then I get over it, have a nice glass of wine, turn on my DVR with satellite and watch a recorded movie or something where I can skip commercials on my flat screen TV.
Or I might go to my favorite restaurant which nearly always has excellent service, after withdrawing a few bucks from my wonderful, healthy, privately owned homegrown bank so I can stuff myself to excess if I want.
But tomorrow, it's hop on a jet and fly to San Diego to spend 5 days in a lavish hotel room to celebrate our 25th anniversary... life can still be great! :)
Do we need to watch while you get yourself off?Quote:

For several decades now, this country has increasingly denied that there is any absolute standard of right and wrong. Most of what is considered the "church" abandoned any real teaching of the Bible and substituted "feel good" religion in hopes of increasing the size of the congregation and therefore the income. It worked as far as numbers is concerned, but the toll on the nation is that it no longer has a collective conscience. It is now acceptable to be greedy and proud without any concern for the fellow man who may work for you or live down the street.
There was a time when the pulpit addressed such issues, and the effect was that we were more honest, caring, and self-reliant than we are today. Check out our history when we did acknowledge that there was absolute right.
In spite of all the Bible bashing that goes on, a return to those precepts taught in it would change our world for the better and these random thoughts might not have even occurred.
Happy anniversary would have sufficed. Get your mind out of the gutter...Quote:

I have a funny feeling I'll be trotting out the "no true scotsman" fallacy soon. :)Quote:

Penguins won ,Sox won,Yanks won with the assist of Luis Castillo's error and Mark Teixeira running the bases and playing the game the way it is supposed to be played.
In his Theory of the Moral Sentiments, Adam Smith contended that capitalism requires a moral and ethical center if it is to function effectively and to the benefit of all. He defined self-interest not as selfishness or greed but as a psychological need to win favor within one's society.
Thanks tom, and a belated congrats on yours as well.Quote:
