- I've never read Artemis Fowl... is the author's style at least similar to Adams'? - Cuzzin Todd Mar 10, 16:44 5
  - [deleted]
  - The Fowl books are definitely written for kids so, no, I don't think the style is similar. - CovingtonCat Mar 10, 16:47 3
    - The original Hitchhiker's book is quite probably my favorite book ever written. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 10, 16:56 2

        How's my boy LL Cool J doin in your bracket? -- nm - Stacy Mar 10, 17:20 2

        I'm sorry, I've just been informed by CSIS* that I cannot speak on behalf of our international trade delegations. - Beryllium Mar 10, 16:53 1
        
        Darn, so close. -- nm - the liioulu with rain all day Mar 10, 17:19
- I don't watch Lou Dobbs. Do you have a specific quote or example as evidence of your assertion? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 10, 16:28 6
  - Every time I've watch he's been on a rant about illegal Mexican immigrants. Today he tied that in with where Obama gave his education speech, because - TWuG Mar 10, 16:39 5
    - Yesterday was worse...he talked about Obama blocking a move to open up nursing positions to more work visas - The Calico Cat Coalition Mar 10, 17:28 2
      - "to its credit", the admin is blocking a move to make the problem worse. You can still be "not doing anything" to make it *better*. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 10, 17:41 1
        
        What does Dobbs want, Obama to cancel the visa's already granted? -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Mar 10, 18:37

  - I have lots of issues with our immigration policy. Absolutely non of them hinge on the race or nationality of the immigrants involved. -- nm - TWuG Mar 10, 16:24 8
    - Not saying you do or everyone who does, but a lot of others do for those reasons. - the liioulu with rain all day Mar 10, 16:42 1
      - I just don't like people that think rules don't apply to them if its the illegal alien or the yuppie that parks in the fire lane at the daycare - The Calico Cat Coalition Mar 10, 17:33
    - Exactly! I doubt Lou Dobbs wants *me* to come to America and steal all your jobs and your women. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 16:29 5
      - My issues actually tend to be that our system is FUBARed and actually damages our interests by keeping people out - TWuG Mar 10, 16:42 2
        
        It's already led to higher produce prices last year. - the liioulu with rain all day Mar 10, 16:44
