I'm having a brain fart and can't find confirmation or denial but the rumor is... Out of all of the 9-11 first responders the only ones who will be allowed at Ground Zero for the tenth anniversary are going to be ones who lost immediate family during the disaster. I have a lot of thing to say about 9-11 but this, if it turns out to be true will piss me off the most. How does one quantify who is more deserving? It is simple, the people that put their lives at risk to help are more deserving than those who didn't, regardless of who lost who. Can anyone find some links for me?

skimmed, didn't read. This crap isn't about legislating behavioral to improve health, it is about legislating behavioral to improve profits. Every time you restrict a food item that can be brought onto school grounds, people become a little more use to it. Eventually you will be able to say all food items must be supplied through the school and from there the next step is all children will be required to except the school meal if they eat it or not. By way of home or government funding, so some will be paying twice. Even if you want to discount that. How can you expect a child to eat healthy in school when 1. Public schools are required to offer a free lunch program. 2. In order to receive funding, the meals must meet a minimum calorie requirement. 3. The calorie requirement for 1 meal is over 50% of the daily requirement of a moderately active child. 4. The meals price has to fit within the budget. Combine all of that and you have a recipe for fattening up the kids because you cant get enough healthy food with the calorie requirements cheap enough to stay in budget. It is true that if you offer a kid something enough then eventually they will eat it. Key is offer not force. My daughters school had to remove the salad bar because they legally could not tell the kids that get free lunch that they could not have it. Eventually so many of them where eating salad that they started losing funding. Take away the healthy alternative from all the kids and problem solved.

Well you can buy Monster with EBT. It is a start. Every time I suggest that all carbonated beverages be added to the no buy list, is when they namby pambys who wont stand up for the constitution start yelling about freedom. Never mind the fact that they are taking away someones freedom so they can have the illusion of theirs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I collect EBT. My cash income is 1400 a month. I pay 700 in rent. Electricity averages out to 250 a month. I have electrical heating and refuse to use the AC. Internet + sub basic cable = 81 and change a month. That is based on a 30 day month, they charge me less in February and more in 31 day months. Telephone 30 and change. Maintenance medication. Son 20 a month Daughter 20 a month Wife 50 a month Self 0 a month but that's because I am the only one not even slightly ensured so they would cost me 400 Now we are at 249 I started buying my daughter a cello before I lost my 19.62 an hour job, that is 31 a month. Gasoline costs between 100 and 125 a month. I'll call it 100 That leaves me with 118 a month to feed 4 people not counting clothing (most of it we get by way of donation) cleansers, personal grooming items, vehicular maintenance, etc etc. Thank whatever that I stopped smoking and started vaping so I'm only spending 10 a month and decreasing. To stay politically active I depend the charity of those less articulate with the same ideals. EBT still doesn't cover what I need for food here so... My wife goes to a food bank only collecting for 3 so that they don't know I am involved. They wont let collectors volunteer because they don't want to give the impression of working for food. When we first realized that we needed the help I was already giving them 8 hours a week. It is sad. If I stopped volunteering, we could get an extra 50 lbs every 2 months. Stop letting the banks, corporations and welfare frauds have a free ride and I could survive without EBT and food banks. And don't tell me to put my children at risk and receive an even shittier education so I can have lower rent.

The best way to sum them up is... Republicrats on steroids. Or is that Demopublicans on steroids? I forget the differences. Oh wait I know! One group wants to steal from everyone claiming a form of welfare will help the country wile boldly taking away our freedoms and ruining the country. The other group wants to steal from everyone claiming a form of welfare will help the country wile sneakily taking away our freedoms and ruining the country. I guess that makes the tea party either side on steroids depending on if they are in your face or behind your back.

Because they have a tiny bladder and didn't want to pass it to someone else? Because they are convinced that Japanese health fads are cool and haven't worked up to drinking an entire glass? Because their artistic nature likes the contrast when light passes through it? Because they are going add some detergent foam on the surface and try to pass it off to their buddy as Budweiser? Just because? Because if they are demented enough to piss in a glass for no reason then they are demented enough to piss on a dog and their dog walked by when the glass was half filled?

Post 13. I tried to watched SNMD 3 times. I have absolutely no recollection of it. It is my Yellow Submarine. If I fail again then it will become my new lullaby. -

I'm not a Conspiracy theorist at all, once you have evidence of a lie the word theory no longer applies. Also I unlike the nutters will not argue against flawless debunking. Have you found yourself capable of debunking anything I put fourth? Like I say, just because you don't know what the lie is covering up doesn't mean the lie does not exist. If they had simply said "Osama is dead here is his corpse.", refused to answer any questions surrounding it, then there would have been no lie for me to complain about. Now I will admit that I do participate in speculation as to what the lie is covering up but I believe it to be obvious when I am doing so and considering that speculation is inconclusive by its very nature I am never stead fast concerning it. Oh if we ever meet at CC then remind me and I'll use your camera to take a picture of the ghost on the stairwell. But If you want that ghost to be a red eyed shadow demon, orb, mist, goofy Halloween ghost, disembodied head or an astral projection of Phees current avatar then you will have to give me advanced warning otherwise you may only get the standard ghost message "BOOO! We don't exist.". Threadjack over. -

No need to call names when I was only answering your question. After all when one asks that question it would be assumed that they believe that the majority would agree with them. Who is the idiot now? Never mind, your personality would still claim it is me. One question, is either English or American English your native language? -

"so bad it's good" is a redeeming quality. Now wile you may think it is "so bad it's good" up to the point you mentioned it no one else considered it thus answering your question. By the way you neglected to complete rule 4. Netflix link: Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus Sequel if you can call it that: Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus -

All the paranormal gets out of me are two responses. 1. Prove it. 2. Debunking. I fake paranormal and xenobiological activity as a hobby. Anybody wanna join T.O.P.H.O.A.X? I'm the only person authorized to grow our ranks.
