- thank you for taking the time to type all that out. If I'm following your arguments correctly, i have two questions. - znufrii Nov 12, 14:13 1
  - I'll go into it another time with you if you want. Short answer I'm against 1 and there shouldn't be outcry over 2. -- nm - Loyola Nov 12, 14:29
- I did a quick read and had a similar position before but ultimately you're talking about separate but equal (unions vs. marriage) and that doesn't fly - oblique Nov 12, 14:08 7
  - It is almost embarrassing how simply this is encapsulated by "separate but equal", and yet how difficult it is for so many to grasp. - TFox Nov 12, 14:12 5
    - for me the biggest question is simply, are we pursuing something that is achievable in our time? -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 14:21 1
      - Let's make people wait for their basic rights...some folks might not be ready -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 12, 14:57

      - we (the non muslim world at large) can actually learn from looking at Sharia vs. Koran discussions - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 12, 14:20

  - word religions have split over far smaller questions than gay marriage -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 12, 14:10
- "The state views marriage as the basis of a family, and is the sole reason it provides social benefits to it." Where do you get this from? - TFox Nov 12, 14:07 1
  - Why else would the state give financial benefits to marriage then? -- nm - Loyola Nov 12, 14:33
- im way too tired to read all this, but watched Obermann's "special comment" last night and was surprised how angry he was about it - Guy Nov 12, 14:05 6
  - umm....have you watched much Keeth Olbermann? -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 14:17 2
    - not enough, i guess, judging by comments below. :) -- nm - Guy Nov 12, 14:19 1
      - you're right though, it was an excellent Special Comment -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 14:23
  - I'd think of a slam on him, but TFox is right, SNL nailed him. -- nm - Max Nov 12, 14:15

  - Just because I said yesterday Indy4 sucked less than Love Guru? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 12, 14:01 1
    - Well yeah. Love Guru was an abomination of movies. Among the worst pieces of shit I've ever seen - Will Hunting Nov 12, 14:16
The Newsweek series, by the way, says quite firmly that Palin immediately told McCain her daughter was pregnant. -- nm - mara Nov 12, 13:58 3
- she would have been *crazy* not to. - Andie - 42 shopping days till X-mas Nov 12, 13:59 2
  - And McCain would have been crazy to pick her. Oh wait. -- nm - con_carne Nov 12, 14:07
  - agreed. -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 13:59

  - i do find it funny that my MO is ST's most liberal, hippie dude - Guy Nov 12, 14:00 11
    - I've never thought that of you. A true hippie packs his poop out of the woods :) -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 14:01 10
      - wrong. a yuppie, maybe, but hippies are all about shitting amongst Mother Earth -- nm - Guy Nov 12, 14:02 9
        
        It's becoming more common in parks and such (for hiking and camping) to require people to bag the poop. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 14:09 1
        
        sure - especially popular areas. (but we're talking about the nature of hippies here) - Guy Nov 12, 14:12
        
        wrong, a hippie knows not to burden the good earth with his improperly disposed of defecations -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 14:03 6
        
        a hippie knows that we are all mother nature's creatures and that are feces are an important part of the circle of life -- nm - Guy Nov 12, 14:06 5
        
        "our" feces -- nm - Guy Nov 12, 14:06 4
        
        Leave No Trace guy, Leave No Trace :) -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 14:08 3
        
        with the exception of high-traffic areas, most of the wilderness areas around here allow 6-inch catholes - Guy Nov 12, 14:10 2
        
        ok, its my fault for starting a discussion that lead to me knowing about your pooping frequency...its my own dang fault -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 14:12 1

      - No offense my dear, but I don't take Illuminati members publicly stated goals as their true agenda -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 14:05 2
        
        which one is Callisto? - Guy Nov 12, 14:07 1
        
        she is the eye on top of the pyramid -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 14:08
    - I was in the teens -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 13:59 5
      - I was 19 non-fiscal and 24 Fiscal - I'm thinking I'm a centrist on ST (if we plotted everyone out) -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 14:00 4
        
        that would be an interesting graph to see. who has lots of free time? -- nm - Guy Nov 12, 14:01 3
        
        I'd do it if Bery could find me the boards in question. -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 14:02 2
        
        search for the word Fiscal in Dr Stalk -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 14:06 1
        
        and there they are - thank you! -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 14:07

    - my first reaction was you must have answered wrong. -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 13:57
    - oh wait... i misread - nevermind. :) -- nm - Guy Nov 12, 13:57
how can a car cost $170k? -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 13:51 33
- They only make 5 a year? -- nm - TaurusII Nov 12, 14:00
- My RR client paid $425,000. The new Maserati's were only $128,000 sticker price. -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 12, 13:54 8
  - There is a place in Greenwich that sells used RRs, Bentleys and Ferrari's. Surprisingly reasonable but still to my for me to ever afford. -- nm - lileve Nov 12, 13:56
  - Jesus effing Christ. -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 13:55 6
    - Your idea of what a car should cost is based on mass production, assembly lines and economies of scale. Not every vehicle is made this way -- nm - con_carne Nov 12, 14:09
    - I think it's unimaginable (for me) to have that much disposable income. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 12, 13:57 3
      - "I dunno, I can imagine quite a bit." -- nm - Han Solo SI Nov 12, 14:13
      - I see people who have it everyday. It's odd. -- nm - lileve Nov 12, 13:59 1
        
        Work your way up in finance and you will be able to afford one. -- nm - lileve Nov 12, 14:07
    - That's nothing. A Ferrari Enzo is 1 million dollars plus, used. -- nm - lileve Nov 12, 13:57
- Well, for example Rolls Royce are handmade, IIRC -- nm - con_carne Nov 12, 13:54 1
  - You are correct, still hand made. -- nm - krusty Nov 12, 13:55
- To even stand next to one and look inside. Those cars are amazing. -- nm - lileve Nov 12, 13:53 8
  - I stood next to one of $140k in Berlin - M Nov 12, 13:56 7
    - Thats the one that needs to keys to top 200 mph + right? -- nm - lileve Nov 12, 14:05 5
      - yep. it looks smaller in real life :-) -- nm - M Nov 12, 14:07 4
        
        It's an amazing car. -- nm - lileve Nov 12, 14:08
        
        iirc, it's the fastest street legal car. Just an amazing piece of machinery. -- nm - krusty Nov 12, 14:07 2
        
        and in Germany you can actually drive it on the autobahn -- nm - M Nov 12, 14:10 1
        
        I think I'd have a Stacy moment in my pants. - krusty Nov 12, 14:15
    - *faints* -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 13:56
- You live in Denmark ?? - Jammed Uzi Nov 12, 13:52 10
  - seriously? -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 13:52 9
    - well price in DK = US price x 3 ... the other sentence didn't make any sense -- nm - Jammed Uzi Nov 12, 13:54
    - germans re-import german cars from denmark -- nm - M Nov 12, 13:54 6
      - Danes move to germany to get cheaper cars too -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 12, 13:56 2
        
        or Sweden -- nm - Jammed Uzi Nov 12, 13:56 1
        
        and when they hace built a brige from Skagen to Oslo Danes will move to Norway too -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 12, 13:57
      - this is true too. but they don't live in Denmark then do they ? ;o) - Jammed Uzi Nov 12, 13:55 2
        
        that's why it's cheaper to buy a german car in denmark and bring it back than buying it in germany. -- nm - M Nov 12, 13:58 1
        
        most car producers have to sell thir cars in Denmark with a relativly large discount - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 12, 14:00
    - yup. same with gas -- nm - Jammed Uzi Nov 12, 13:53
- demand/supply -- nm - M Nov 12, 13:51

  - Nope. -- nm - kelly Nov 12, 14:02
  - about once a month, sure. once me and 3 co-workers had a pitcher each between us. - Guy Nov 12, 13:58
  - well, i have, when it's been the bosses taking me for lunch. or, back in the beginning hazy days of my career, a fellow - Andie - 42 shopping days till X-mas Nov 12, 13:57
  - Nope. -- nm - krusty Nov 12, 13:56
  - Nope. Not even at my previous dumb jobs (like working in a supermarket bank). -- nm - TFox Nov 12, 13:56
What is all this Twilight crap you're talking about? - oblique Nov 12, 13:50 13

    - *shrug* they're well written. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 12, 13:54 5
      - I'm sure buttplugs are well crafted items, but I don't shove them into my ass. -- nm - TFox Nov 12, 13:55 4
        
        Butt Sex Train! -- nm - Pippy Nov 12, 14:01
        
        At least they're made better than your cock, snap-boy. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 12, 13:56 1
        
        Thanks for the comparative review. I've never gotten an end-user opinion before. - TFox Nov 12, 13:58
        
        you don't know what your missing... -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 13:55
  - and he's abstinent (in the vampire way) -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 13:53 1
    - Well, (spoiler) - JaxSean Nov 12, 13:53
- something that you'll avoid at all costs if you want to hold on to that man card. -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 13:51
- Oh god no. Anything else. -- nm - TFox Nov 12, 13:51
- some chick flick shit. -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 13:50
