        Okay. I'm wondering what purposes you could get funded. - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:51 3

I challenge all of you who have struggled with the notion of watching United 93 to do so. - David Jul 22, 14:39 19
- Hmmm...okay. -- nm - kelly Jul 22, 15:01
- Every time I watch United 93, it moves up on my all time movie list. -- nm - Inigo Jul 22, 14:53
- I support this. Great movie. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 14:46
- I don't think I'm ready to take you up on it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:45
- ok. ill take that deal. *queued* -- nm - Guy Jul 22, 14:42

    - I've modified this to "Do one thing that scares others every day." -- nm - Max Jul 22, 14:47 3
      - Is that why you don't wear pants to work? -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 22, 14:47 2
        
        dammit nubby you're such a Dignan enabler. -- nm - Max Jul 22, 14:55 1

  - *smacks you in the head* Whew! You're right. I totally feel so much better now. Why had I been putting that off? -- nm - Qale Jul 22, 14:44
- While part of my reason for not watching it is that it would be so gut-wrenching, another part of it is a slight tinge of feeling that it's ... - Beryllium Jul 22, 14:42 5
  - I don't feel I need to see it. I lived 9/11. I've mentally imagined what it was like to be on that plane. - ty97 Jul 22, 14:44 2
    - my 'favourite' part was actually the portion set in the control towers. -- nm - Andie Jul 22, 14:46 1
      - Agreed. Ty, I don't think it's what you think it is. -- nm - David Jul 22, 14:46
  - I worried that it'd be exploitative somehow. It was, in fact, not for me, but I'm glad I saw it. -- nm - neighborhood drunks love mandy lane Jul 22, 14:43 1
    - yeah, thats my thought - Guy Jul 22, 14:46
oh, there you are. -- nm - b. Jul 22, 14:39
Sceire - i find your reaction to CL hilarious. its just online classifieds. you act like its a forum for degenerates. - Guy Jul 22, 14:38 46
- I agree with Guy on this. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:45
- *shrug* whatever. - Stephen Jul 22, 14:43 40
  - I think your understanding of the usage of craigslist is wrong........ - ty97 Jul 22, 14:51
  - I've hired our last 2 nannies through Craigslist. -- nm - pmb Jul 22, 14:51 3
    - Discussion over. Admit you don't know what you're talking about, Sceire. -- nm - mara Jul 22, 14:53
    - ^^ known degenerate. -- nm - b. Jul 22, 14:53
    - How do they hide the track marks on your kids' arms? nm - Dignan Jul 22, 14:52
  - In this tough economy, it would be foolish to shun CL for the reasons you state. Esp for Stacey, which is the origin of this topic. -- nm - con_carne Jul 22, 14:49
  - i don't use it myself, but i know good people who do for above-board purposes. - b. Jul 22, 14:49 7
    - nmbeveryone - Stephen Jul 22, 14:58 2
      - i'm done. -- nm - b. Jul 22, 15:00
      - I'm not offended, I just find your view of the site laughably inaccurate. -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 14:59
    - and craigslist as a site has a very good, efficient system for eliminating a lot of the fraudulent, exploitive, or otherwise 'unclean' stuff - Guy Jul 22, 14:50 3
      - this is true. the degenerates keep to their own little holes there. - znufrii Jul 22, 14:51 2
        
        so to speak -- nm - ty97 Jul 22, 14:52
        
        *sets down joke road flares* -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 14:52
  - degenerates like "veterinary assistant", "property manager", or "network engineer"? (three job titles I grabbed from SF CL posted today) - Reagen Jul 22, 14:47 1
    - SF? I think that 'veterinary assistant' is code for stage manager at a donkey show. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 14:52
  - i disagree - i don't think it's 'largely known as a forum for degnerates" - everyone i know uses it. to promote a service (pet sitting, etc), buy - Andie Jul 22, 14:45 23
    - Only me? woohoo! - Stephen Jul 22, 14:47 2
      - i wouldn't say only you, but it's only you here. - b. Jul 22, 14:52
      - when was the last time you visited CL? Have you ever? -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 14:48
    - agreed, I'm the freak for not using it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:46
    - Granted, sell electronics = those I ripped out of car dashes...but still. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:46 18
      - just out of curiousity - if you wanted to get rid of some crap, but not enough for a garage sale, would you actually run an ad in the newspaper? -- nm - Guy Jul 22, 14:47 2
        
        Hell no. I've used CL. I just am in joke mode. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:48 1
        
        oh. heh. carry on then. :) -- nm - Guy Jul 22, 14:49
      - you guys seriously don't understand craigslist (which is fine, whatever.) -- nm - Andie Jul 22, 14:46 14
        
        I'm kidding with all this. I didn't realize CL was so heavy in jobs, but at the same point, I'd use whatever I could - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:49
        
        they both sound like crotchety old men talking about that degenerate rock and roll music. haha -- nm - Guy Jul 22, 14:47 12
        
        like the people who refuse to join FB? -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:47 11
        
        ahem. -- nm - b. Jul 22, 14:50 1
        
        I'm just teasing. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:52
        
        much more so, because craigslist has a very useful purpose whereas FB is more of fun and entertainment -- nm - Guy Jul 22, 14:48 8
        
        it's getting to be a must for networking. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:52 6
        
        alot of companies ban it so I coubt you mean work networking -- nm - Beaker Jul 22, 14:55 3
        
        i read a story the other week that some companies who had banned it have subsequently reinstated access due to business uses. - b. Jul 22, 14:57 1
        
        here it is. nm but: -- (link) - b. Jul 22, 14:59
        
        I do mean work networking. it depends what business you're in. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:57
        
        fair point - it has its usefuleness as well, but not in the general purpose sense that CL does -- nm - Guy Jul 22, 14:54 1
        
        it's not exactly the same, that's why it's an *analogy*. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:55
        
        FB is quite big in journalism circles as a way of finding contacts. -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 14:49
- Yeah, I'm pretty offended. I thought this place was the forum for degenerates. -- nm - Qale Jul 22, 14:43 2
  - ST is for sexual deviants - Pippy Loves Scotty Jul 22, 14:43 1
    - ST is nothing if not repetetively sexually deviant. -- nm - mara Jul 22, 14:50
- for the job I have now, I was basically monitoring four sources full-time - Beryllium Jul 22, 14:40
You'd think the lesbian dating marketplace would be hotter. -- nm - David Jul 22, 14:38
Also, "Best of Craigslist" is one of my favorite websites of all time -- nm - con_carne Jul 22, 14:36 5
- Hell yes. This makes me want to look up my all time favorite post, Dear Crackhead. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:36 4
  - Here it is!!!! Hey Crackhead. - loosilu Jul 22, 14:37 3 1

- sure - if you're looking for apartements, i guess. they have For Rent magazine too. - Guy Jul 22, 14:40 4
  - I would never live in a complex, so craigslist was my only shopping place. I also used it to rent my apt for football weekends in sc. - neighborhood drunks love mandy lane Jul 22, 14:48 2

  - In NYC I either used agents, or word of mouth. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:44

  - smartass. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:38
LYC: I really miss my childhood summers cause Vacation Bible School was so much fun - looked forward to it every year. - Pippy Loves Scotty Jul 22, 14:35 5

  - LOL!! I would love it if you taught them the physics of changing water into wine - Pippy Loves Scotty Jul 22, 14:37 3
    - If nubs knew that, he'd be the richest man on earth. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:38 2

- "Who Killed The Electric Car?" -- nm - con_carne Jul 22, 14:37
- Sicko, even though it's very manipulative. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 22, 14:35 1
