You hear that all you non-christians...take down your trees and lights, return all your presents. Don't write cards and don't even think of calling your relatives to tell them you love them. I decorate during the holidays, I give gifts, make turkey and taters, hell, I'll even sing a carol or two. Christ takes no part of my Christmas or "Holiday", yet I still manage to enjoy the season and spread the love as much as anyone else. I am not celebrating Christ, I'm celebrating life. Good thing everyone has the right to make the "Holiday season" whatever they want to for themselves....

Machine Error Gives Bush Extra Ohio Votes
jessefs replied to ChasingBlueSky's topic in Speakers Corner
This is not about Bush... This is about about acknowledging that something is not working quite right and figuring out how to make it better. Nothing is perfect, there is always room for improvement. The first step in that is acknowledging that something is wrong in the first place. Wait a second....maybe this is about Bush -
as a standup comic!! I can't help but laugh at this guy. He's a great examply of how poorly both Dems and Repubs have done at some candidate selection lately (in my opinion of course). http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20041105/ap_on_el_se/senate_keyes

I understand what you're saying and do not question our method of election. Looking to further improve an already good thing is all one can do in life (and elections). Enjoy the show!!

I've sometimes wondered about an extremely basic issues test that must be passed in order to vote. A basic yes/no or short phrase answer to issues given by the candidates, similar to ones you see on CNN/FOX/MSNBC, etc... I can see many flaws that may arise in a system like this but wonder if it could at lease eliminate the completely clueless. You have to pass a test to drive, pass a test to become a citizen, etc... These are tests that can be passed by anyone without a mental defect and a small amount of research and education. I'm not sure how it could work or be fair, just a thought...

I just wanted to get others opinions on my voting decision this morning. Out of 89 decisions on the Cook County ballot, I did not place a vote for 3 of the choices. 1 of my blanks was for Representative in the General Assembly, 2 blanks were to keep current, local judges in place. My reason for not voting on these 3 selections is that I did not educate myself on them, therefore, I had nothing to base my decision on other than affiliated party. All other 86 votes were researched ahead of time. The poll is regarding my decision to not vote based on lack of information and if it is worse/better/or the same as voting only based on the party. I understand that technically, no vote = no vote. This is more of a moral/beliefs issue. Thanks! P.S. - If you vote better or worse, please explain why. Thanks.

Rhino, your apparent self-education and openness should be inspiration to us all. Issues aside, your way of being has surprised and amazed me. Thank you. Jesse

Anyone else notice the guys at Google gave King Neptune a decent case of morning wood on the search page? I dunno, maybe it's just me

"Spanish Fly" and the like aside, how exactly do you get someone drunk? I'm not arguing with you, just trying to figure out for myself how much responsibility should be put on the consumer of an intoxicating substance. Should I be held more, the same, or less accountable if I kill somebody while driving drunk? What about choosing a sexual partner? How do you define the point that I am no longer able to "give consent"?

Let's talk about the Speakers Corner folks behind their backs...

You mean like: Lefty - "I like the left boobie because that's where the heart is" Righty - "Shutup you pansy, quit trying to hold my hand! I like the right boobie because it represents strength and honor " Lefty - "You cold hearted evil bastard, you're the antichrist!" Righty - "Why don't you quit yer bitchin and do something about it like this! " In reality, I guess it's all somewhere in the middle (and maybe down a little bit) What was that about alcohol on a worknight??? -

Just ordered my copy online and can't wait to get it. I'll probably end up calling in sick for 2 days and read straight through it. This has to be one of the best fiction series ever written! Jesse

If I'm old enough to take a bullet for my country, then I'm old enough to have a beer for my country. (I believe there are other reasons the drinking age should be 18, but this is the flashing neon sign for me.)

This is my first time going 7 months without jumping. Can you owe beer for not jumping???
