So you thought.

I guess it was too much to hope for. It's about as interesting and pointless as a Ford/Chevy flame war.

Hey Carm

Doesn't this thread remind you a little of "Rain again, again" except a little (a lot) more opinionated?

I like this thread.

Recap:

1) Jerry is an asshole
2) I'm a really nice guy

3) Flats is walking the beaches of Florida naked

Other than that, same ole, same ole.

Didn't you mean "Same Hole, Same Hole", Carmen? Like the one you keep diggin' for yourself

Btw, you're supposed to use a$$hole, or a_ _hole, or whatever to avoid the "filter" police.... It's also more cultured.....like 'Vintage Genteel'

Hey Carm....

'Carm' has a nice ring to it, but it makes me think of Carmel:

*sticky, gooey and oh-so-sweet

[candy]
*Cours D'Elegance in Californy
*burnt sugar [carmelized]

I'm glad to see that this thread finally got past 'my color can beat up your color'.

Speaking of which, dynamometer graphs posted in this thread appear to show that white S2ks have about 20 hp more than Sebriing S2ks.

(At least I hope that's Sebring and not Silverstone in the pictures.)

I like this thread.

I like this thread, too. If we want to get serious about an issue, then we can just post a thread dedicated to that issue. This thread lets us meander and cuss and discuss without getting too heated before we move on to the next item, even getting a little silly in between (as those dog-owning, Spa-loving, left-wing, thread-killing, defenders of the witless often do).

Why can't we have a program called "Kick lazy parents in the Behind" ?

But unfortunately there's no IQ or skills test for parenting, though now I see there is a new reality show, "The Nanny", to bring under control unruly kids of idiots who've managed to screw their kids up by the age of 2.

There's no excuse for a parent not realizing that his child is not learning at the level he should be; however, a school system that passes kids who can barely read and write is also a huge problem. We have to realize that the parents who don't give a $#!T probably are never going to give a $#!T. Do we want their failing children to have the same lack of drive and enthusiasm the parents do? If someone doesn't offer them the opportunity to develop that, we're stuck with a vicious circle.
