Wait...what are you planning on doing. I mean, when will you ever need 2400 X 2400 DPI? I spent 49 bucks on my Canon. And I do alot of graphic work and use it for professional quality stuff. It is just fine. You should be able to find one for under 100 bucks that will perform great for you.

How can you blame them? He reacts beautifully every time. And he tries to make historical comparisons between genocidal fascists and wrestling promoters. Mocking Mole is not just good clean fun, it's a calling. Marney...stop it, kay... *slaps wrist and wags finger much like a father too pussy to spank his kids* That's enough Missy....aw...you're just so cute *gives Marney a lolli-pop and a shiney nickel* Um...Happy birthday MOLE!!!! I got you a poster of James Marsters doing ab work or something I mean...if you don't want it I'd understand...I could find someone who did want it... *grabs poster and runs*

Um...is there another quote somewhere that I'm not seeing where he says he hates the United States. He doesn't like the present politcal climate...as it says in the one on the first page. He likened it to a dumb puppy with big teeth that can do a lot of damage...and while I don't agree exactly with that, I think that a comparison could be made by some one completely against alot of the U.S.'s agressive actions. A argument (not a very good one but still) could be made that these actions were gone into without thinking them through. He calls America broken now...He is talking about its current state which he doesn't agree with. It is obvious that he didn't take a shot at the American people. I think most people are more pissed that they can't just say "If you don't like America, you can get out" to him since he doens't live here. I still don't see a word about him hating america or calling america Dirty. Shit, I ain't to fond of corporate America but I'm not going to quit my job. I am sure alot of you are in the same situation.

"Currently, 29 percent of African Americans drop out of college after less than one year, compared to 18 percent of whites." Source: The White House, Office of the Press Secretary, 7/12/00 "By race, 42 percent of White (high school) graduates 18 to 24 years old were enrolled in college in 1993, compared with 33 percent of Blacks... During the past 20 years, while the gap in high school graduation rates narrowed for Blacks and Whites, the gap in college attendance of those graduates has not narrowed." Source: United States Census Bureau, 01/18/01 In other words, blacks have a lower absolute (not in terms of population size) college enrollment rate than whites, and a higher absolute college dropout rate once they enroll. Now feel free to continue. Um...Marney. You are using dated information. from 93 and 2000. And seeing as 43% of college students are 24 or older, that statistic doesn't really mean much. Yes, white students are almost twice as likely to go directly to college after highschool than black students. The drop out rate for blacks was 13% in 1996 (http://www.ed.gov/pubs/OR/ConsumerGuides/dropout.html.), and 6.1 percent in 2000. That shows how skewed things become in that period of time. Give me a few minutes (damn work getting in the way of important internet message board discussions) and I will find where I got my numbers and link to all of them. BTW: I will admit that I got the overall black population among college students wrong. It is more like 10%. My fault on that one. -

But so do most Whites. You are saying it in a way that seems like more blacks are doing it than whites are. If you want to go by the percentages, then there are a porportionate amount of blacks seeking and/or gaining their PH.D's in many other fields. And that is a statement of FACT. About 10 percent of all college students are in law or medicine. If every single black student that went to college took up a law or medical degree, they would STILL make up a miniscule numer of those in the fields. The number of blacks in college is miniscule in comparison to whites, how are they going to make up a large percentage of those in the medical and law fields. Of the miniscule number of blacks in college, a porpotionate amount of them are in the law and medical fields as there is a likelihood that whites would be in. You can't just jump from using exact numbers to percentages whenever it supports your case. I think you are missing what the main thing about being a minority is. There are less blacks in medical and law fields because there are less blacks in the country. A: Um...no...thats not a fact. The college drop out rate is 58.1 percent. Of the blacks that enter college, there is only a 18 percent drop out rate. Blacks make up less than 5 percent of the overall college population. You do the math on whose drop out rate is larger. If you are talking about highschool rates, then yeah, Blacks have a drop out rate of 6.1 percent while whites have a drop out rate of 4.1 percent. Thats the only fact you can be grabbing at. B: Either you don't understand the meaning of the word fact(which I would guess you do) or you just wanted to throw that last ridiculous part on. There is no truth to that whatsoever. If it is your belief fine, but don't try to past over your opinon as fact. -
Romeo and Juliet knew each other for days and they were madly in love. So the length of time between them meeting and being in love in irrelevant. While I disagree with it, a case could be made for it being the best love story ever therefore his opinion isn't moronic in the slightest.

I saw this movie yesterday. Interesting. It goes on the list of movies that I would have enjoyed more if I didn't figure the whole thing out in 15 minutes. I knew who the killer was 10 minutes in and knew the big "OHHHHHHH" moment 5 minutes later. I don't think most people would catch this though and I think it is a very enjoyable movie. Whatcha all think about it.

No. In racial terms, black people tend to have less education than white people. It makes no sense at all for them to be proportionally represented. In this administration, people are appointed to the top jobs because of their competence, not because the President wants to create a cabinet that "looks like America." I thought it evened out more in higher education. It gets even WIDER in higher education. Blacks tend to migrate to education or African-American studies and avoid the more disciplined sciences, such as biology, etc. -=Mike Thats the second time I have seen you say that and it simply is not true. Education majors are mostly filled with white americans. African American studies is consided a joke major and I have yet to see anyone take it as one. A minor maybe but come one. First, Blacks make up 8 percent of the population, not 15. Blacks only make up 4 percent of the college community. And many blacks have majors in the law and medical fields... "How manty get post-graduate degrees in areas OTHER than, say, education or liberal arts? The numbers tend to be about 1 or 2 A YEAR --- in a good year." You don't mean in the country do you...please say you don't. And I don't think you are purposly trying to paint this incorrectly but a far greater percentage of white students are either undecieded, have liberal arts majors and education majors than minority students. Now it is obvious that less minorities look to get into the political field, and that is the reason for the disportionate amount of high ranking jobs. Roughly 2-3% of the population are blacks with the credentials to have top level jobs. Less than 1% of the top jobs in this country are held by blacks. Of course, there are just as many whites with the credentials to be in top spots that don't have them also. So I don't think it has anything to do with race. But it has nothing to do with the education that blacks are recieveing in college, because if you are once again using that as your stance, you are once again wrong. But if you aren't right about anything else, you are right that no competant minority has ever ran for the presidency. The best one has been Jesse Jackson. And when he is the best at anything...you got a problem. -
I'm dazzled by your display of wit. I'm completely and utterly speechless. Maybe I'll regain my composure if someone could explain to me what the fuck this is supposed to mean. And you're BARELY two years older than me, chief. Don't make the mistake of calling me a "12 year old", HHH. He left "stopped" out. "Guess what, normal people stopped insulting based on other people's intrests at around High School." Ripper- always comes through when something needs splaning.

Well, you are going to have to wait until tonight, because I refuse to link to the calender pic. They put me in make up and I looked really non manly. I REFUSE!!
-
Really...I didn't read a single bad review for this movie.
-
Yep...thats how you talk yourself up... *puts hands behind head* ... Of course this could all lead to a massive let down... *worries* then I would have to post the calender pic of half nakidness to save face...and I'm not doing that.

*Pops da colla* Hells yeah.... But I will probably post a pic tonight. It will be old but hey, I just have more facial hair now, a better hair cut and dress alot better. Same thing...kinda.

I say stick with that one until you find something cooler. If you are going to do away with the obscure name, it had better be something EXTREMELY cool.
-
is this going to be another one of those times you claim to have done that on purpose. Because seriously... Just saying, if you are going to write a post picking at another posters spelling and grammer, you better make damn sure that your post is grammatically correct.
-
It matters...what are you considering changing it to.
-
How many times have you changed your name?

It's you are(you're), and I am always in charge. There are a few who realize it, the rest, like you, just want accept it. By the way, have you ever heard of School House Rock? It's on DVD now, I suggest you buy it. You do realize that you mispelled won't in that post don't you... Dear lord the irony.
