Concur on Philadelphia! It's as if someone decided to combine all the worst parts of every city in the United States. The rudenss of New York, the grittiness of Detroit, the gridlock of <acronym title="Lan Chile">LA</acronym>, and the dreariness of Seattle all rolled into a single craphole! Amazing!...

Jump to postBrasuca, your flight post is misleading...You know that Santos-Dumont made the first *PUBLIC* flight of a plane in Paris is 1906...a few years after the Wright brothers flew at Nags Head. Santos-Dumont had no documented evidence of having flown previous to the Wright brothers and if he did you would...

Jump to postAll I can say is anyone who chooses an NFL game over a college game has never seen the likes of a Tennessee vs. UF game at Florida. Nothing competes to 100,000 people in bright orange singing a song about moonshine.
Jump to postWell, I hope the Braves will stop the choking long enough to take the division for the 14th time in a row. I love my braves...but they have to stop choking in the late season/postseason some year!!!! I'm off to the series at Shea this weekend complete with my Atl cap and foam tomahawk....I'll be the...
Jump to postMan DL021, I bet the Eagles are saying the same thing about playing in the Georgia dome after the fans messed with McNabb's play calling on the 4th quarter play! I haven't seen the Falcons' fans that alive in a while.

I've heard from many people that he is a great guy and almost always ecstatic to sit down and talk to you about his book or things you didn't understa...
Jump to postHaha...I find it entertaining when people like LTBEWR try to read political implications into a film like this. This show had a massive fanbase of Southerners who were self-aware of the fun poked at the rural South...yeah...some of these stereotypes are a little truthful, but for the most part they ...
Jump to postwhat a joke! haha...peachtree city for georgia should never have been on there in the first place. More importantly, the listings for my state of North Carolina are totally off the mark. First off, not one of those towns is in WNC, which is undoubtedly the best place to live in the state (with regar...
Jump to postWell....at least the world series can now officially be the world series! None of that elitist gold medal trash getting in the way. ; ) Im curious, if there is a requirement to have a male and female version of the same sport is it possible that it was a necessity to remove baseball as softball, as ...
Jump to postMexicana757, wow, drinks on the subway! Man, let me onboard in Chicago. ; ) Someone is being a bit defensive-namely you. First off-I'm well aware Chicago has more than one museum...but for every museum Chicago has,except for the Shed, New York has a more extensive impressive version. I will give you...
Jump to postGuys please...y'all have missed the point. Yeah the media plays up NYC to be something it really isn't; still, it is the most magnificent city in the U.S. Chicago shuts down at 9pm while New York is open all hours of the night...the subway never stops. Does Chicago have Broadway and Off-Broadway sho...
Jump to postUALPHCS, I don't necessarily believe that he was a total apologist for the lost cause; I think he saw the vision in several people on both sides of the civil war. Often times his views of Lincoln come off scathing as well as those of Confederate players such as Jefferson Davis. I don't necessarily i...
Jump to postOn one of the CBS affiliates in Atlanta they showed the video of the father actually discovering the children. He basically spins around screaming and crying and runs and buries his head against a wall; it was the most disturbing thing I have seen in a long while. I've only seen it played that one t...
Jump to post....that's a wonderful argument TedTAce. Would that be the sand of academic study of the bible that I put forward, or a wholehearted belief, that as much you may not like it every man is entitled to, put forward by NWADC? Because, let me explain to you, I learned what I know about biblical character...
Jump to postI can't believe the local CBS station showed the clip of him discovering the three children dead on the evening news!!! Ugh, distasteful of them!
Jump to postI'm not a huge fan of Chilean or Australian wines; so, I would say Napa-however, suprisingly, my favourite white comes from Portugal at a reasonable price. =)
Jump to postBy the way, I just saw on the news that Rev. Graham is having his last U.S. crusade in New York this weekend. He was forced to hold it in an open-air environment in Flushing, Queens; Madison Square Garden was not large enough to hold everyone-that is a testament to his popularity. He also said he wa...
Jump to postCall it untrue; call it what you will; the men who wrote the bible were anything but morons. If you believe in the Bible then you hold them as dear saints. However, if you choose to take the unbelieving road you have to realize that these men basically inspired a revolution in the Roman world-they w...
Jump to postI grew up in the Southern Baptist church in the Asheville area (and therefore had the ability to meet Rev. Graham on two occasions in the local church, since he is from a town about three miles from Asheville). What struck me, is even when I was vehemently hateful towards the Baptists, he struck me ...

Jump to post2003 for High School Graduation.... I remember it started raining the night before and didn't stop. I remember being paralyzed with fear as I got up to give the valedictorian speech to a jam-packed crowd in the assembly hall. I also remember a guy in our class with Cerebral Palsy whose goal was to w...
Jump to postI don't think this is as huge as you are making it out to be. The government has asked for GPA's before and always will...Thank god some schools refuse to give them out! Like for instance it's Columbia U's policy to never turn over student rank or GPA to the government after what happened during Vie...
Jump to postLike was said before Alberchico, to break into a larger firm you should really attempt to graduate from a top fifty law school. Also keep in mind that law schools are often regional...by that I mean that if you graduate from a top notch law school such as, let's say...Georgetown, you're more likely ...
Jump to postHaha, SuperFly that's great...you're giving me ideas on this one. Only three and a little months left!
Jump to postLMAO!!! This post has made my day SuperFly. Does anyone still have The Little Prince? It's funny to go back and read children books and look at the undertones they have.
Jump to postMD11Engineer, I totally concur with what you're saying about US history classes. It's unfortunate, but history usually begins with Columbus landing on Hispanola. Ask most students who fought in the Hundred Years War and they couldn't tell you...What is the Battle of Hastings? Who knows! ...Who were ...
Jump to postWell it's interesting- I think everyone should go take a peek at all the results on the National Geographic survey. Mexico faired the worst by far, but the US and the UK were near evenly matched in second-to-last place. Also funny is that something like 87% of French children had never heard of the ...
Jump to posthaha, by the way- I find it a bit more disturbing that there were 21% of students from the UK couldn't locate the United States in the same survey. That's more than one in five!!!

Jump to postANC Flyer, I understand that some people have a valid reason for wanting to join the military, however, I think many many are uninformed.

Jump to postPolitics Clipper; the conservatives fly off the handle when they hear such things and to avoid criticism Durbin has to apologize.
Jump to postI find it disturbing that no one has taken the time to really think about what Durbin said. Of course there are no mounds of skulls, ovens, or burial pits; however, he basically said that this falls under the category of things that do not belong under the heading of America perpetrated deeds. I ima...
Jump to postThere was not a comparison made <acronym title="Anchorage - Ted Stevens International (ANC / PANC), USA - Alaska">ANC</acronym>! Look at what he said carefully.

Jump to postSecondly <acronym title="Anchorage - Ted Stevens International (ANC / PANC), USA - Alaska">ANC</acronym> Flyer- look at this way.

Jump to postPlease <acronym title="Anchorage - Ted Stevens International (ANC / PANC), USA - Alaska">ANC</acronym> Flyer, I guarantee I can run circles around you in the history department.

From Dick Durbin:"If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must h...
Jump to postI really think that 10% figure quoted above is vastly overblown. I'm sure there are a few who can't locate the US on a map...but you are forgetting the smartass factor on these surveys; those who, just for the pure idiocy of the question, point to somewhere else on the map. The outline of America is...

Jump to postI apologize Barfbag; I suppose my comments are a bit misleading to those who haven't done some study into the subject. However, I ask you-please don't be naive.
