  1. Nah...if she was a minor, then the responsibility falls on her parents. While they both sound like a couple of winners as well, the release they had to sign pretty much shuts them out. As such, I'd be surpised if Disney settles as it would open the door for every other person who acted like a jackass on the show to cash in.

    Not to mention Disney's legal team could probably shut this down without a problem.

  2. Sorry your wrong. Comin from a former toker, it still shows how stupid the guy is. I don't want another Marshowmetwentybucks on this team. Do you think Brett Farve, Peyton Manning or Drew Brees is lighting up? Especially prior to their first professional job interview with 3 months notice! I would hire the clean guy over the dirty guy every time before I put a million dollars in their pocket.

    My only problem with those players would, indeed, be the fact that they were smoking probably less than a month before their "interview of a lifetime." That's just plain stupid.

  3. When I was in the Army a few years ago I hurt my lower back pretty bad, but hey that's what you get when you run 9 miles with a torn tendon in your right ankle and a sprained left ankle. Something eventually gives. After I got out of the military I went to see a doc to see what he could do for me so I wasn't walking around in such agony all day. His solution was Roxicet, at the time I hadn't heard much about these tiny blue pills but they sure did the trick. Problem with that though is I became both physically and mentally addicted without even knowing it. Once my scripts ran out I would be in agony until I got more opiates in me, it's been a never ending cycle for a couple of years. This week(Sat) I decided to just give it up because it's totally changed the way I live my life... and I'm tired of this change. I've weened my self down to 1 pill a day(from 8) and in fact this evening I will be taking the last half of my last pill. I've already started going through WD(it started Sun night) and it really sucks(the chills really suck as does the hot and cold flashes) but I know that I'll get through this and come tomorrow maybe I can start getting sleep again. I just wanted to share my experience with this evil little blue devil. If anyone has ever had any experience with it feel free to share here and on the flip side if anyone has any question feel free to post them as well.

    Opiate WD is The SUCK!

    I was on a femidol drip in the hospital once. That stuff is great, but it was hell when they took me off of it when combined with trauma from surgery. Best of luck to you, and as someone said, don't be afraid to tell people, because they can only help you if they know.

  4. What I find humorous is that all the years I attended Catholic schools I don't ever recall opening a bible once...ever. I do remember going to mass everyday before lunch @ St Barnabas though. Bible study? No such thing though we did have prayer books.

    That's because the Catholic hierarchy didn't want the common folk reading the bible.

  5. Nah, I'll do what I please. But, thanks for telling me how and what to think. If it bugs you to be called out on making the same stupid comment over and over again...well, then don't do it. My keen police mind tells me that you were looking for a fight on the issue, however. The same mind tells me that no matter how valid the point I make and the time/effort I put into making it, it will not matter.

     

    I have no interest in wasting the next 3 hours of my life properly articulating my reasoning to you.

    You didn't "call him out," you used the ad hominem. And he wasn't telling you "how and what to think," either.

  6. I've been making a few like that repeatedly, which no one's paid attention to. Dedicated homeopaths and naturopaths as well - the seriously nutty one's who don't partake in health care resources. They're required to buy insurance and not use it, now? Or are insurers going to be required to cover it? Which would mean that such "oogie-boogie medicine" either 1) needs to be vetted by the legislatively-mandated panel that evaluates the effectiveness of and recommends treatments, or 2) there will need to be exceptions to what can be considered by said panel.

     

    That's just one example demonstrating where my oppisition to this law lies (or at least most of it). It's no secret or surprise that I'm against socialized medicine - I don't believe it's a "civilized nation's" responsibility to take care of the citizens, I believe it's the nation's responsibility to get the hell out of the way and let the citizens take care of themselves. But this abortion of a law is so poorly considered and constructed that even I have to admit that a true socialized system would be a better solution than what was just passed.

    I don't know about the homeopaths and naturopaths, but can't Scientific Christians, in this bill, be exempt if they have religious objections to it?

  7. I had that feeling Jack... I didn't want to offend you by questioning you openly right off the bat. :P I might for a lot of stuff, but nothing along the lines with messing with an almost flawless functioning OS. :D

     

    I didn't fall off the pumpkin truck yesterday... ;)

    Delete system 32. It'll run a lot faster after that. :rolleyes:

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Please don't actually do that.

  8. I have a question to all of you about this subject.

     

    How do the words "One nation under God", become harmful to people?

    Once god starts taking it seriously, he/she/it will realize how awful we are and just kill all of us, Sodom and Gomorrah style :P

  9. I guess I should have used different words instead of "feel sorry for". But it's the same way I kinda "feel sorry" for people that don't like sports. They are missing out on all the fun I have following sports,that's all. And if you don't believe in God you can't get those same feelings from faith that I do. I can't see how we could disagree on that.

    I don't know what exactly you feel, but I get a kind of "rush," I suppose, from going out to the middle of a field on a clear night, laying down, and just staring at the stars and thinking about what's going on out there. There's a certain feeling about it that is probably comparable to what you feel during a "faith experience." For me, just knowing that I'm here, that I'm in this universe, on this planet, living this life, is enough.

     

    I had the opportunity to listen to a talk given by former evangelical preacher Dan Barker. One of the interesting things that he said was that when he was a Christian, he could feel something inside of him, a kind of "high," when he would speak in tongues or get really into a sermon he was doing. He gets the same feeling nowadays while playing jazz piano.

  10. You're trippin dude. I am not looking down on you or anybody else.You're just hella sensitive about this for some reason.

    Oh no?

     

     

    I see alot of cats here that don't have a belief in God. That's cool and I hope I don't come off as preachy,but I kinda feel sorry for you guys. I was raised Catholic and have a deep belief in God. It's a comforting feeling that I guess you guys can't know. I know there's more than just the material world that we are now living in. When I go to mass I always leave with 2 things. 1.a little nugget of wisdom that I take from the Homily (sermon). Sometimes it's something that applies directly to everyday life,sometimes it's just a different way of looking at things that opens your eyes a bit. 2.a warm,content feeling of confidence.I'm not sure why,other than it just reaffirms your faith. Like I said I hope I don't come off as trying to force my beliefs on anybody. Just wanted to share my thoughts on the subject.

    That's odd.
