    - What were you like before you went in? - Roger More Mar 10, 11:17 4
      - George Bush is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life. - Dr.Vermin Mar 10, 11:23 2
        
        which one? W or HW? :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 11:30
        
        that might actually be true - Danedukenuuk Mar 10, 11:24

    - I think we've matured some and get fighty less easily -- nm - ty97 Mar 10, 11:19
  - Cuba is a touchy subject, I can't say I'm totally surprised. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 11:15
- no more/less free than Chinese, Iranians, residents of the Soviet Union, countless third world banana republics . . . - 16 & pixie Mar 10, 11:13 1
  - agreed. -- nm - Beaker Mar 10, 11:13
- Sure, there's a big difference between Cuba and the US. But would any STers be outraged if someone said they were travelling to China? -- nm - Roger More Mar 10, 11:12 4

  - FWIW, "we're cool with Castro" implied otherwise. - Dr.Vermin Mar 10, 11:14 7
    - well, as a country we don't take any actions against him. so, by implication. -- nm - Andie Mar 10, 11:16 6
      - but you did side with Bush and send troops to Iraq, didn't you? -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 10, 11:17 5
        
        No. -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 11:19
        
        No. We didn't. We wouldn't do it without UN approval -- (link) - Andie Mar 10, 11:19 3
        
        Ah, cool. And I see you didn't send troops to Vietnam either. Why are we friends? ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 10, 11:20 2

- I assume the one you liked was the second-to-last singer, right? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 11:07 3
  - I think so. spoil. - loosilu Mar 10, 11:08 2
    - yep. I like that song a lot, and she did a great job with it. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 11:09 1

- Empty houses provide a lot of opportunity. -- nm - Max Mar 10, 11:00
- I could have guessed teachers as #1 for ladies. - Dr.Vermin Mar 10, 11:00
- I looked at the top 5, and my first thoughts were basically "8 out of 10 of these professions involve dealing with *a lot* of the general public" - Beryllium Mar 10, 10:59 1
  - (I count Engineers and Stay-At-Home Moms as those who don't deal with the general public much :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 11:00

  - the "personal link" goes to some page themave dot com which does not look like a page she would do -- nm - zork Mar 10, 11:07
- ShitMyBettySays -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 10, 10:57
- She's right. This is exactly what MrsCY and I were saying while watching. -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 10, 10:56
- She dares speak ill of RJD! That hussy! -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 10, 10:56
- it blows my mind that the woman who shared the screen with Bogie in the 40s is Twittering -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 10, 10:55 2
  - and that she's writing "What film do u guys think was the best movie of the decade?" - Max Mar 10, 10:59 1

        I hope Jason Heyward gets gonorhea. (nm) - musubi Mar 10, 11:26
