Solve : Boy George?

Answer»

Can I be the first with a Boy GEORGE "going down" joke?

what? what are you talking about Quote from: computeruler on December 06, 2008, 10:02:16 AM

what? what are you talking about

Boy George is a famous British pop singer from the 80s. He is gay. He has been found guilty of false imprisonment following an evening during which he tied up a male prostitute. The judge has warned that he may be sent to PRISON. In British SLANG, "going down" has several meanings. One is "going to prison", and the other is something rude which I shall not explain. Hence the joke.
HAR HAR HAR


jolly good fun, old chap.oo i seeWhen Elton John had a hit in the 80s or 90s (I forget exactly) with a certain song, the Guardian (newspaper), on its TV listings page had this: 7:30 PM - TOP Of The Pops - Elton John performs "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me". They added: "Why not? Everybody else has."

Last I remember George was sweeping streets over here as a penance for something. 

I also seem to recall not too long ago a pic some paparazzi had taken showing him totally bloated and overweight.

Any contribution I might make in the joke category would not be fair to this forum!    Elton john did a mediocre job of "the Show must go on" by Queen.

Actually it's kind of funny. Quote from: ChrisXPPro on December 06, 2008, 01:17:42 PM
Last I remember George was sweeping streets over here as a penance for something.

In 2006 he was found guilty of wasting police time by FALSELY reporting a burglary at his New York apartment.

Cocaine was found in the flat and he was arrested, but the drug charge was dropped and he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of wasting police time. He was ordered to spend five days sweeping the streets of New York as a punishment.

Thompson, for instance:

Say how much blood do I have to lose before it becomes a problem? On average, human has 6 quarts of blood, and they say, if you lose 1/3 of it (2 quarts) in short period of time, you're dead.
But.....if a gunshot is SMALL (LOL), and you're bleeding SLOWLY, 4 quarts lost are "allowed".

Solve : digital to analog connection?

Answer»

I have been wondering whether there is a way to connect HDMI or DVI computer outputs to an analog television which has both RCA video and audio and s-video inputs. Thanks!  zamjohnBefore I start looking, I have to ask: what for?The simplest way to connect your computer to a Television is most commonly a S-Video output on your video card, there are adapters to convert S-Video into a yellow (video) RCA jack. As for converting VGA or DVI to a composite port, I dunno.I asked what for, because analog TV will give you pretty bad picture.Nah, I run my ole 19" zenith concierge with a home made S-video to composite adapter and it looks great.. Aside from the magnetic spot on my TV..

this was the setup I had at my fathers house with the home made S-video adapter:



That was just before i got my logitech KEYBOARD, I pulled that beat up blue thing out of the scrap bin when I worked at PC city.

EDIT: The TV and one of the monitors (Think the far right one) where running off of an old nVidia MX4000 64MB 32b PCI GPU, the middle one and one on the left where both on my 256mb 128b nVidia 7600GT PCI-E x16 GPU. I still have the gig of RAM and CPU from that machine. There in my current desktop, hard drive too. I haven't had money to upgrade for several years.Broni's on to something ....going from digital to analog however it's done doesn't make sense.I have the same reason for asking this question. Can't afford a new digital TV. I PURCHASED a new Sony TV 4 years ago never THINKING digital would be in my picture. Hence the reason for trying to convert digital to analog. The Sony has S-video and composite video but my new computer has neither as that is a thing of the past for computer manufacturers. I have just discovered though, that one can purchase video processors that will do the conversion but it isn't cheap. I have my computer system INTEGRATED with my big sound system and would have liked to use the Sony for the sake of monitor SIZE and  keep everything together. Maybe eventually.

Solve : Inside a Hard Drive?

Answer»

You wouldn't happen to have a Colorado 250 Qic 80 tape drive would you ? ?
That's where all my old DOS/Win98 apps reside ...I think so; I had some kind of tape drive. But I was new at the PC game, and thought it was broken (since it needs drivers I never had) and threw it out I had an SCSI (Scuzzy) 80GB tape drive, it was dead though, it and its reader. Sad, it was cool, old school hardware is sweet. Fun to toy with.. Unless it involves jumpers or dip switches... I hate those... Seriously hate them... Oh, I found this old 8 track player on the curb over the summer... I dunno if it WORKS, I gotta get my dad to dig out his 8 tracks to see if it does.

To stay on topic, I love poking around INSIDE stuff to see how it works, always have. And... GAH! The compaq based system I'm trying to install W2K on keeps going into a rebooting LOOP. Thought it was the CPU, RAM, GPU, everything, gotta be the board or PSU though, I've changed everything else. QUOTE

I hate those... Seriously hate them.

I collect jumpers. Coolest items ever invented if you ask me. I collect terminating resistors. Well, I started actually because I wanted Terminator memorabilia, and I saw it in a ad. Boy was I disapointed...I collect lighters... Quote from: BC_Programmer on December 22, 2008, 05:56:10 AM
I collect terminating resistors. Well, I started actually because I wanted Terminator memorabilia, and I saw it in a ad. Boy was I disapointed...

True story. Lol the terminating resistors.

Here's some memorabilia for ya:



CPU from a T-888 as seen in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles season 1.

Scary 'cause, if you watched the series, you learn that higher end PCI-E based boards can run that chip. Quite well actually.it wasn't funny when it happened. I was so excited waiting for my terminating resistor (I thought it was a victim of the terminator trying to resist, or something)- I could hardly brush my teeth or comb my hair...

and then it arrived, and I look inside, to find 5000 terminating resistors from 5 1/4 floppy drives.

thankfully, I was able to create a fashionable necklace for my girlfriend, who subsequently dumped me for a guy named sparkles.That's hilarious BC, guy named Sparkles? Hah!  I know... this stuff just... it's almost effortless for me!

Other nominations go to the names lilac, Pink Gardenia, shafty,shuffles, and Billy.what about gladis?what about her.Who is Gladis? Am I missing something (or rather, someone) again? GAH! Too many disappearing users to remember, evidently not too many to forget though.  I think he's trying to add names to my list.

I will, but I haven't HEARD any news RE: the gift certificates Broni was to recieve.

Answer»

btw MERRY christmas/happy holdidays!I want your gift certificates What the heck is a chanica?  Is that like a Chia Pet?he probably means Chanukkah/Hanukkah.

Quote from: Broni on December 21, 2008, 08:55:54 PM

I want your gift certificates

yeah, he's taking his sweet time sending you them.

I've never been fond of the cacophalagia BASED game, Call of Doodee. It's a bit too much toilet humour for me. Quote from: BC_Programmer on December 22, 2008, 12:57:00 AM
he probably means Chanukkah/Hanukkah.
Well, whatever it is, I want one!Jewish holiday...

have you ever noticed, that Chia commercials from the 80's seem to pop up around christmas? same with those darn Clapper commercials.I don't agree with the whole COMMERCIALISATION of Christmas, so the answer to the question of "What do I want" is to spend time with my family.
Not that presents aren't given in my family or anything, but everyone is broke as usual, so nothing expensive as some people seem to be used to receiving.I don't celebrate christmas. Happy people.... Quote from: Raptor on December 22, 2008, 04:29:58 AM
I don't celebrate christmas. Happy people....

What about Festivus ? ?

Now that is worth celebrating.  I still think i'd like a chanica.....how much are they ? ?2 Calum pinkies. i cant spell! i ment Chanukkah/Hanukkah.
and no your not getting my gift certificits!Why?yeah, geez computeruler, it's the season of giving after all, and here you are, all miserly with your gift certificates. Probably have a silo like Scrooge mcDuck, and swim around in your gift certificates. You sicken me.

They where taken with a horribly cheap webcam, so forgive the quality. It failed to read Fallout 3 (DVD), The Orange Box (2x DVD's), or my Counter Strike: Source CD's. So, I retired it before it retired one of my discs. I'll remove the drive on the next shut down so its motor doesn't start smoldering from trying to close the derailed tray. Had that happen with a CD burner that I did similar damage too. Incase your wondering, I used a Marks-A-Lot marker to make the front of my case BLACK 'cause I got tired of looking at the primer gray and was BORED out of my skull while Windows XP was installing.

Solve : Online Dating Giant eHarmony Required to Create Same Sex Dating Site?

Answer» http://snipr.com/6wpt6



Online dating giant eHarmony is required to create a new online dating site for same sex couples under the terms of a settlement with the State of New Jersey’s Civil Rights Division.

The settlement is the result of a discrimination lawsuit filed by Eric McKinley, who sued eHarmony.com for discrimination, because the site did not offer dating services for homosexuals, only for heterosexuals.

Under the the terms of the settlement, eHarmony must create a brand new site catering to gay and lesbian singles, as well as pay $50,000 to the New Jersey attorney general, and $5000 to Eric McKinley.

eHarmony had adamantly denied that they were discriminating - the services they offer are based on many years of research - research which was done based on married heterosexual couples. In fact, under the terms of the settlement, eHarmony is allowed to tell those using their new same-sex matching service - called COMPATIBLE Partners - that their patented Compatibility Matching System™ based entirely on research involving married heterosexual couples.

Said their lead attorney in the case, Theodore Olson, “Even though we believed that the complaint resulted from an unfair characterization of our business, we ultimately decided it was best to settle this case with the Attorney General since litigation outcomes can be unpredictable. eHarmony looks forward to moving beyond this legal dispute, which has been a burden for the company, and continuing to advance its business model of serving individuals by helping them FIND successful, long-term relationships.”
So many paranoid people....

We all have rather similar anatomy inside, there's no real difference, and you cant be obsessed about how wrong or right a unchangeable programming is inside someones brain. This is not about gay vs. straight people. This is about legitimate business being told what it can/can't, should/shouldn't do.
This is ridiculous, because it pushes, what we know as "egalité", beyond some reasonable limit.
If you remember "affirmative action", you should know to what kind of weirdness it lead.what does it matter anyways they cant get married Quote from: computeruler on November 28, 2008, 05:42:06 PM
what does it matter anyways they cant get married
The things you don't know. what they are going to meet each other and then get all sad cause they cant marry each other than it would be better off if they didnt meet Quote from: computeruler on November 28, 2008, 06:42:55 PM
what they are going to meet each other and then get all sad cause they cant marry each other than it would be better off if they didnt meet
What would you say if straight people werent allowed to get married?
Say the same thing?

Married or not, its not against US law that you can not be married. Only certain states have this.
And believe me, if they tried to ban it completely, it wouldn't go far. Its against the constitution, and defies equality.

There is such a thing as lifetime relationships as well. Many straight couples choose not to get married, for their own reasons.
I've never understood those online dating services. There are so many people out there if you just TALK to them in person. I'm not saying that everyone who uses those websites are losers, but I wouldn't want to meet somone that way. Why cant they meet somone the the old fashioned way?  The fact that they would use a website for dating would suggest to me that there is something wrong with them. Am I alone in thinking this?

As for eHarmony, I dont see why they should be forced to create a gay site. For example: Lets say I have a company that repairs PCs that run windows. The company's area of expertise lies in the windows based PCs that people bring in for repairs. One day somone brings in a Mac and demands that I repair it. I explain to the customer that I have absolutely no experience with Macs. Then, the customer gets irate and threatens legal action if I dont service their Mac; after I have already explained to them that I have, absoslutely no expeience with those computers.

That may be a bad analogy but, I think it is one that most of our members can, probably, relate to.
I am sure that there is a plethora of gay dating websites out there today. eHarmony (although lame) should not be forced to cater to any one group, if they choose so.I dont think they should be forced to have a gay site either, however, you have to consider:
They could just as easily implement it, but, they have chosen not to.

Who says that the marriage values of heterosexual couples is different from those of homosexual? ...that they dont have the "research" for homosexual couples. Homosexuals are no different from heterosexuals EXCEPT for their *censored* preference. With that last sentence, you cant really say that Homosexuals are Macs, and Heterosexuals are PC's, and make that comparison, since PC's and Mac's are completely different.

Homosexuals think, act, and feel in so many of the WAYS heterosexuals do.

No, I'm not accusing anyone here of being hateful by saying the opposite of what they have said or putting it down. Just stating my opinion. They are invading the planet.........not not the Aliens,the gays, I guess I need to go to Mars.

They are smart too cause they know how to earn out of their *censored* orientations , it was so unfair to the Dating site, its like someone comes and tells me how to run my website and then make me pay for not running it their way!!!!!!!!!!JJ, you have to realize, roughly 60% of the average persons life is online, sometimes more. Technology is destroying the social structure of society as we know it, slowly, but surely. Some people don't know how to pick up a date, sad as that may be, they need someone to find a person for them. If that be the case, let them. Ain't our right to choose what someone does to find a companion. Ain't our right to choose who that companion is either, but those old idiots in congress think it is.

As far as the analogy goes JJ, when I worked at PC city in Roanoke in 2006 for a few months, we had just such an issue. Someone brought in an iMac that wasn't turning on and he threatened legal action if we didn't fix it. Even though none of us knew how to even open the damned thing, let alone diagnose a problem with it.

The point of this being; You just can't please some people, its impossible, once they get over complaining about one thing they COMPLAIN about another. Its a waste of time, resources, and money, but trying to convince them of that is about like trying to convince the world to spin backwards.

Solve : Funny Parody Video I made!!!?

Answer»

I have been on with my creative side lately, and I have recently produced another subtitled video.
It is a parody of hitler, from the MOVIE downfall.

Now before you go all un-original on me.

From the very start of these parodies, I had uploaded one of the very first and original ones.
With something like 24,000 views.

The new one uploaded, is completely new, using new clips.

So its not going to be repeitive and you should enjoy it.

Leave some feedback too please.bump.

I OTOH didn't even look at it.

my old flash movies are a little juvenile but at least it was more work then just slapping some text on a video that already existed.

Animation is hard but quite rewarding... until you lose the source .FLA files in a hard disk crash and discover that your latest published SWF  files have the wrong background color (which I was able to cleverly hide by embedding it on a webpage)bump for commentsnot funnyThat was pretty bad.  Despite what you think, this is actually very unoriginal.  You already have at least 5 videos just like this and it's no more than pottymouthed grammatically-butchered subtitles set to a video that you did not create.  I don't see how this is even remotely close to being creative or original.  And besides that, it's not even funny.  How old are you exactly?  14 maybe?  Raised on South Park and Family Guy by any chance?

Normally, I would just say that I didn't like it and then move on, but I find it insulting that you think you are original just because you jumped on somebody else's bandwagon.  It doesn't matter if you created one of the first 100 videos; you took the idea from someone's video and then imitated it poorly (several times).  Even worse, you aren't even the first person to do this whole restaurant bit.  A quick search turns up several videos just like this that are months older and loads funnier.  That absolutely is not originality.  It's just a cry for recognition that isn't DESERVED.  If you want people to think you're clever, develop your own UNIQUE ideas.

Honestly, even Hitler doesn't deserve the treatment you've given him.



Also, the video is terribly inappropriate for a computer forum with many members even YOUNGER than yourself, so the link has been removed and the topic is being locked.

Solve : NASA finds ET at home in California?

Answer»

If you always held California is inhabited by aliens, - your were right.
NASA has discovered them THEM in Mono lake.

Just Google NASA ET Mono

Or look HEREYes I have read that on yahoo news about some alien bacteria that can live on different kind of surroundings with different chemical structures.The news attention is understated.
It may be most important  DISCOVERY.I thought, aliens were green They haven't actually found any "alien" life at all, despite what the teen-oriented gee-whiz "news" web sites have said. They claim to have discovered a previously unknown type of terrestrial bacterium which, they allege, uses arsenic instead of being restricted to carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulphur.* They believe it substitutes arsenic for phosphorous in the phosphate backbone of its DNA. They found it because they were wondering if such a chemistry was possible so they looked in a lake where the mud has a very high arsenic content. If they are right then it is the only earthly life form of this type known so far, sure, but they have just started looking. The scientists have said there might be many more. So no green men. The "alien" link, if you can call it that, is simply that if it is true then it widens the range of conditions in which we know life can exist, so that there will be more places off the earth where life might exist than we thought before. This happens every time another extremophile bacterium is found. Is the US Govt trying to distract PEOPLE from Wikileaks?

Also there has been criticism of the lab methods used. Steven A. Benner (a big expert in this kind of stuff) has expressed doubts that arsenate has replaced phosphate in the DNA of this organism. He suggested that the trace contaminants in the growth medium used in the lab cultures are sufficient to supply the phosphorus needed for the cells' DNA. So it might all be another "cold fusion" type of "discovery".

CNN interview with Mark Williams, a Tea Party leader

Quote
An incredulous Cooper asks Williams if he really believes Obama is an Indonesian Muslim and a welfare thug. The tea party leader digs the hole a little deeper: "He's certainly acting like it. Until he embraces the whole country what else can I conclude."

Frank Gaffney wrote in a Washington Times column that "there is mounting evidence that the president not only identifies with Muslims, but actually may still be one himself."

And dozens more.

Solve : how wikipedia feels during the pledge drive?

I'll confess I'm puzzled.  What is that image meant to imply, that wikipedia should not have a pledge drive?

They put his face everywhere. Quote from: BC_Programmer on December 07, 2010, 11:02:42 PM
They put his face everywhere.
Well, this PARTICULAR page view is apparently the result of someone's creative work with some photo editing software to express how some people might get tired of seeing his face, even though they normally put only one image of it at the top of the page, whenever they visit wikipedia during the pledge drive.  Still, maybe wikipedia realized people might not like seeing his face so often; they've been using a female's photo in the campaign, a woman named Lilaroja, from Spain.

And, maybe that absurd edited version of the page on that website, called The Daily *censored*, is their way of saying they dislike the campaign altogether, regardless of who is featured in the campaign ads.  The reality is that wikipedia does not PLACE commercial ads on their site so they apparently rely on the annual FINANCIAL support pledge drive to get funds to support the staff needed to keep the website running.

It reminds me of a radio station - I believe a local affiliate of NPR (National Public Radio) - which runs a periodic campaign drive.  During their campaign drive, the frequent pledge solicitation on the radio gets a bit tiring but, like wikipedia, they do not use advertising and therefore need funding from pledged donations.  actually I only noticed the woman (Wikipedia author) just this morning.

Quote
And, maybe that absurd edited version of the page on that website, called The Daily *censored*

It was on TDWTF it's not on the front page. In fact if it was that would be really dumb.

It was actually posted by a forum member who goes by the handle "blakeyrat" and I assure you, he has absolutely zero problems with it. Actually, he considers anybody who blocks ads at all as thieves on the caliber of software pirates, so I doubt he finds the campaign ads annoying, and more or less found the image to be an amusing lampshade that they were (at the time) using only his image in VARIOUS locations on the page. At LEAST true ads had some variety.

No i meant for it to be in off topic...but i read it wrong so its my faultLet's just drop this; it has nothing to do with the main topic and nobody benefits from arguing about it.

For what it's worth, I do not have a PSP of my own, but it has many great exclusive titles that are worth playing.  For that reason alone, I plan on buying one when I have the money (it is also the only current platform I don't own).  Personally, I don't think the PSP Go is worthwhile.  Downloading games and storing them digitally is great, but it shouldn't be the only option.  I don't understand why companies seem to think that an UPGRADE should remove a portion of functionality.

When I get myself a PSP, I'll be GETTING the 3000 because I prefer having the option of using physical games.  I also prefer this version's shape/design and it is easier to install homebrew applications for further customization of the interface.

P.S. Everyone I know who owns a PSP says it's worth the money.

Solve : Health and Safety at Christmas?

Answer»

1.  Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way .

A risk assessment must be submitted before an open sleigh is considered safe for members of the public to travel on. The risk assessment must also consider whether it is appropriate to use only one horse for such a venture, particularly if passengers are of larger proportions. Please note, permission must be gained from landowners before entering their fields. To avoid offending those not participating in celebrations, we would request that laughter is moderate only and not loud enough to be considered a noise nuisance.


2. While SHEPHERDS Watched 
While shepherds watched
Their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around .

The Shepherds Union has complained that it breaches Health and Safety regulations to insist that shepherds watch their flocks without appropriate seating arrangements being provided, therefore benches, stools and orthopaedic chairs are now available. Shepherds have also requested that, due to the inclement weather conditions at this time of year, they should watch their flocks via CCTV cameras from centrally heated shepherd observation huts.

Please note, the angel of the lord is reminded that before shining his / her glory all around he / she must ascertain that all shepherds have been issued with glasses capable of filtering out the harmful effects of UVA, UVB and Glory.
 

3.  Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer 
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows .

You are advised that under the Equal Opportunities act, it is inappropriate for persons to make comment with regard to the ruddiness of any part of Mr. R. Reindeer. Further to this, exclusion of Mr R Reindeer from the Reindeer Games will be considered discriminatory and disciplinary action will be taken against those found guilty of this OFFENCE. A full investigation will be implemented and sanctions - including suspension on full pay - will be considered whilst this investigation takes place.


4.  We Three Kings
We three Kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star .

Whilst the gift of gold is still considered acceptable - as it may be redeemed at a later date through such organisations as 'cash for gold', etc. - gifts of frankincense and myrrh are not appropriate due to the potential risk of oils and fragrances causing allergic reactions. A suggested gift alternative would be to make a donation to a worthy cause in the recipient's name or perhaps give a gift voucher.

We would not advise that the traversing kings rely on navigation by STARS in order to REACH their destinations and suggest the use of RAC Routefinder or satellite navigation, which will provide the quickest route and advice regarding fuel consumption. Please note as per the guidelines from the RSPCA for Mr Donkey, the camels carrying the three kings of Orient will require REGULAR food and rest breaks. Facemasks for the three kings are also advisable due to the likelihood of dust from the camels' hooves.


5.  Away in a Manger 
Away in a Manger
No Crib for a bed. 

DHS should be immediately contacted as mangers are not suitable places of rest for newborn babies due to unsanitary conditions, sharing with animals, lack of proper ventilation and no access to running fresh water and heating.  Therefore under no circumstances should a crib be put in a manger. A risk assessment should also be carried out before allowing animals to occupy said manger - are there tethering facilities, running water, and food receptacles.  If not, the manger should not be used and the animals should be removed and housed elsewhere (but still not with the Baby Jesus).

Solve : Surprise Asteroid Makes Near-Miss of Earth?

Answer» http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,503164,00.html

Quote
A small asteroid buzzed by Earth Monday, though only real astronomy geeks in the Pacific would have noticed.

The rock, estimated to be no more than 200 feet wide, zoomed past our planet at an altitude of 40,000 MILES at 1:44 p.m. universal time — or 8:44 EST.

Dubbed 2009 DD45, it was discovered only on Friday by Australian astronomers.

Forty thousand miles may sound like a lot, but it's only about one-seventh of the way to the moon, and LESS than twice as far out as many telecommunications satellites.

Had 2009 DD45 hit the Earth, it would have exploded on or near the surface with the force of a large nuclear blast — not very REASSURING when you consider humanity had only about three days' notice.

According to the Australian news Web SITE Crikey, the asteroid is likely to be drawn in by Earth's gravity, MEANING it may return for many more near misses in the future.

Wow, that's pretty cool. :OThe earth should watch where it's going! It's getting in the way of these cute lil Asteroids
Close shave, very close!!"Near Miss"

Don't them mean 'Near Hit'?

A collision would be a near miss. Lol. Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on March 03, 2009, 04:08:10 AM
"Near Miss"

Don't them mean 'Near Hit'?

A collision would be a near miss. Lol.

I've always thought that, people say the strangest things.

Solve : Inquiring mind wants to know....?

Answer»

"What do you THINK about"? i asked a new love INTEREST when trying to adjust to her "interests"

Pause...LOOK of puzzlement; chin held by index finger and thumb:
"I never THOUGHT about THINKING. I don't know what I think about "

Pause...look of puzzlement, finding myself strangely at a loss for words; my mouth fell open.

Is it odd to ask what someone is thinking about?

i know that it has become common for one to ask rhetorically: " What was he thinking? "

So for instance i find myself thinking from time to time: Why ask a question "rhetorically" if an answer is generally unwelcomed?

Dear Laska,

No I don't live in Mayfield (although it is kind of close  ). I happen to have 2 kids of my own. A son that is 5 and a daughter that is 8. I can assure you that when she is 15 she will not be on the pill. I would rather teach my kids the kind of values that I grew up with and that there are certain things that should only be DONE when you are an adult. 15 is not an adult. By putting a 15 year old girl on birth control you are in effect telling that child that it is ok to go have sex.

I for one think that instead of putting a child on the pill "just in case" something should happen we should be teaching the kids not to do it.

Some people may think that I am either old fashioned or out of touch with reality but that is me and it is what I believe.Well it is certainly good that you do not live in a  major city or you may very well need to have all of your family values in by next year..
Please see my above Posts and I most sincerely wish you the Best of Luck on this issue

Also I wish to state that if I have Off ended you in any way that I most sincerely hope that it is the Worst to Happen to you in this, the Comin' YearLaska,

Don't worry you didn't offend me.Oh Thank Goodness the sensitivity issues are just rampent in our society these days now aren't they. May God Bless You & Your Lovely Family,  Mr Oil Field, Each aaaaaaaaaaand aevery Day Of This & Every Comin' New Year, God Blessokay.....I see a different kind of squall coming to life.......ahemm May God bless you too Laska.the bike's parents must have been brought up the same way and either do not care or do not know any betterThe COLD must be getting to laska This time of year everthing is getting to me  Especially the dark   Just a little while longer & I get to go on break  Maybe the Sunny SouthwestTo Teenagers;

Solve : Haha for the day?

Answer»

The GENIE


A Husband took his wife to play her first game of golf. Of course, the Wife promptly hacked her first shot right through the window of the biggest house adjacent to the course.

The husband cringed, "I warned you to be careful! Now we'll have to go up there, find the owner, apologize, and see how much your lousy drive is going to cost us."

So the couple walked up to the house and knocked on the door. A warm voice SAID, "Come on in."

When they opened the door they saw the damage that was done: Glass was all over the place, and a broken antique bottle was lying on its side near the broken window.

A large black man was sitting on the coach asked, "Are you the people that broke my window?"

"Uh, yeah, sir. We're sure sorry about that," the husband replied.

"Oh, no apology is necessary. Actually I want to thank you. You see, I'm a genie, and I've been trapped in that bottle for a thousand years. Now that you've released me, I'm allowed to grant three wishes. I'll give you each one wish, but if you don't mind, I will KEEP the last one for myself.”

"Wow, that's great," the husband said. Then he pondered a moment before he blurted out, "I'd like a million dollars a YEAR for the rest of my life."

"No problem," said the genie. "You've got it, it's the least I can do. And I'll guarantee you a long, healthy life and now you young lady what do you want?" the genie asked.

"I'd like to own a gorgeous home complete with servants in every country in the world," she said.

"Consider it done," the genie said. "And your homes will always be safe from fire, burglary and natural disasters!"

"And now," the couple asked in unison, "what's your wish, genie?"

"Well since I've been trapped in that bottle and haven't been with a woman in more than a thousand years, my wish is to have sex with your wife."

The husband looked at his wife and said, "Gee, honey, you KNOW we both now have a fortune, and all those houses. What do you think?"

She mulled it over for a few moments and said, "You know, you're right. Considering our good fortune, I guess I wouldn't mind, but what about you honey?"

"You know I love you sweetheart," said the husband. "I'd do the same for you!"

So the genie and the woman went upstairs where they spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying each other. The genie was insatiable. After about three hours of non-stop sex, the genie rolled over and looked directly into her eyes and asked, "How old are you and your husband?"

"Why, we're both 35," she responded breathlessly.

"No kidding." He said, "Thirty-five years old and both of you still believe in genies?


The end…

If you like reading then I would like to suggest 'The Hitchhikers Guide to the GALAXY'. They are FANTASTICALLY funny books written by the late great Douglas ADAMS. You will learn about life the universe and everything, you will EAT at the restaurant at the end of the universe and you will come to realise that we, the people of Earth are, well, mostly harmless.
There are 5 books in the trilogy and they are highly recommended.

Just don't forget your towel and DON'T PANIC!!

RDgggOh I love reading. I will check out that trilogy as soonas I finish the Jason BOURNE SERIES by Robert Ludlum. I'm on the fifth book so far, one more after that.
Brilliant, they are one of the few books i've read where i've actually laughed out loud.
