    C’mon now GoofNut, that’s not fair.

    You know that P_Mom is a feminist lesbian and would never bear a child and so would immediately get an abortion.

    I, on the other hand as a tree-hugger, am only amorously attracted to trees, well . . . sometimes large houseplants but usually trees.

    Keep your liberal hate stereotypes straight, won’t you?

    Cap,Stop stealing my ideas.

    PS – look up the story of Bill Meredith in Wellington. Laid off machinist, started his own shop in his garage with a single Bridgeport. Built it up over 30 years and sold it for something like $80 million.

    …liberal hate stereotypes???

    I prognosticated that you and Cindy had fornicated for the sake of bearing fruit (working on the tree angle for ya).

    That’s not hate; that’s love, dude.

    Whoa . . . the man is a laugh RIOT, I tell you what.

    On second thought, maybe you should leave the jokes to people who are actually funny.

    BTW, for every laid off machinist that starts his own company, there are 5,000 that try and fail and lose what little savings they’ve got and end up drinking themselves into an early grave.

    I know that facts which don’t conform to your world-view don’t matter–that’s why you love Bush, same attitude–but for the rest of us in the reality-based community, one anecdote does not an argument make.

    It’s like saying because you knew somebody once who played in the NBA, anybody who tries should be able to play in the NBA and that anybody who’s not playing in the NBA is just not trying.

    The vast majority aren’t going to be able to do it, because it takes skills that they don’t have.

    I knew two who actually left their jobs to do so, and failed.
