Several IQ tests certify my IQ is in the 99th percentile. Personality inventories and colleagues say that I believe in using logic. I use scientific method and means of extreme tests. So, my opinion might just mean something. Listen up. People of any race can be racists. Homosexuality is a deviant lifestyle. If gays and lesbians are that mixed-up in sexual matters, then maybe they are not very believable in other things. To tolerate means to put up with things with the idea or possibility that good and evil are equal. Therefore, Satan could become the pope. In summary, people need to recognize high and accurate standards of concepts and conduct.

First, I just wanted to say thank you for hanging out with me. I had a great time, though I was a little nervous. I only wish we could have hung out longer but maybe we will get another chance.
As the subject says, what happened to your clogs?? Man, I loved those shoes hehe. I have to say, it is a little odd seeing you wear gym shoes, not that its bad or anything.
Well, I hope that you enjoyed your time as well, and really, it would be great if me and you could hang out again. A nice casual night. I know that you are extremely busy, so when and if, is going to be up to you. Let me know what you're thinking. I guess we don't have much time if you're planning on going up to Toronto for New Years. It doesn't have to be on a weekend night, and if you decided you would like it to just be me and you, then we could meet up around 5 or something.
Well, let me know what your thinking, ciao, John

quote: Le temps de lire
Le temps de lire est toujours du temps d’aimer. (Tout comme le temps d’écrire, d’ailleurs, où le temps d’aimer.) Volé à quoi ? Disons, au devoir de vivre. C’est sans doute la raison pour laquelle le métro – symbole rassis dudit devoir – se trouve être la plus grande bibliothèque du monde. Le temps de lire, comme le temps d’aimer, dilate le temps de vivre. Si on devait envisager l’amour du point de vue de notre emploi du temps, qui s’y risquerait ? Qui a le temps d’être amoureux ? A-t-on jamais vu, pourtant, un amoureux ne pas prendre le temps d’aimer ? Je n’ai jamais eu le temps de lire, mais rien, jamais, n’a pu m’empêcher de finir un roman que j’aimais. La lecture ne relève pas de l’organisation du temps social, elle est, comme l’amour, une manière d’être. La question n’est pas de savoir si j’ai le temps de lire ou pas (temps que personne, d’ailleurs, ne me donnera), mais si je m’offre ou non le bonheur d’être lecteur.

Most were quite sleepy, But none touched their beds, While visions of essays Danced in their heads.
Out in the taverns, A few were still drinking, And hoping that liquor Would get their brains thinking.
In my own apartment, I had been pacing, Dreading all those exams I soon would be facing.
My roommate was speechless, His nose in his books, And my comments to him Drew unfriendly looks.
I drained all the coffee, And brewed a new pot, No longer caring That my nerves were shot.
I stared at my notes, But my thoughts were all muddy, My eyes went a'blur, I just couldn't study.
"Some pizza might help," I said with a shiver, But each place I called Refused to deliver.
I'd pretty much concluded Life is unfair and cruel, Since our futures all depend On grades made in school.

----------------------------------------------
All aboard the Purple 'bandwagon' Last Update: 12/10/2003 9:26:25 AM
No term is more overused in the Twin Cities than bandwagon.
Who’s on, who’s off – and honestly, who cares?
The fascination with the attitudes of one’s fellow fan is mind-boggling. Just because Joe Blow in section 217 thinks Daunte should be moved to tight end doesn’t mean that Mike Tice is scrambling to refigure the depth chart.
But the Rubes emerge after every game, calling Fanline to complain about people jumping on, off and around the proverbial bandwagon. (Considering two recent incidents involving defensive linemen, the “bandwagon” probably isn’t the wagon that the Vikings should be worried about people falling off of.)
Fans always join the bandwagon when a team succeeds, but those who jump off (the true “jumpers”) deserve the criticism.
The only thing worse than listening to people complain about these guys is actually watching a game with a bandwagon jumper. Whatever their trigger, a jumper inevitably will tick off everyone who just wants to enjoy the game.
The FAN has identified the ten basic classes of these bandwagon jumpers:
THE “BUT MY FAMILY’S FROM DALLAS” JUMPER Also known as the “I lived in Tampa until I was three” jumper and “I went to college in St. Louis” jumper.
This guy pledges his allegiance to an out-of-town team – until the home team starts winning. Suddenly that worn-out Troy Aikman jersey morphs into a purple-and-gold beads, and the term “we” starts applying to the team that plays in the ‘Dome.
But the moment the Vikings start heading to South again, his only reaction is, “Well, the Cowboys won, so I’m happy…”
You like Dallas so much? Move there.
THE “I PLAY MADDEN 2004” JUMPER This guy questions every play call during the game, citing what he would have done on Playstation.
“Dude, Bennett has 99 speed in Madden,” guy rants. “I run single back, double-tight, counter right every first down, and he jukes the weak-side linebacker. Linehan doesn’t know what he’s doing.”
Earth to this guy: not only does playing video games not qualify you to question real-life decisions, no one cares your success in Franchise mode. Seriously, no one. As long as there is a real live game on TV, video games should not be discussed.
(Note: This guy is a descendant of the kid who would take the Los Angeles Raiders in Tecmo Bowl and run Bo Jackson around left end every play. He inevitably would score 77 points and although neither player would enjoy it, winning was good enough for him. Tecmo Guy still is convinced that Jackson should be in the Hall of Fame based on that game.)
THE “WAIT ‘TIL NEXT YEAR” JUMPER This guy was talking draft after the loss to the Giants.
He cheers against the team down the stretch because they have “no chance” in the playoffs – he would rather jump a few spots in next year’s draft than try to pull an upset in the first round.
At some point, next year must come around. You have to give this guy credit for sticking with the team in the long haul, but his constant comments (“You know, this loss is probably better anyway…”) get old really fast.
Watch out for this guy if the Vikings lose to the Bears.
THE “YOU DON’T REMEMBER CARL ELLER” JUMPER This guy loves to support the team, but when they fail, he’ll start picking on today’s “brand” of players.
“You see this Moss kid?” guy complains, shifting positions in his BarcaLounger. “He’s walking out there. Gene Washington never took plays off. Sammy White never would have been lollygagging back to the line. Mardye McDole didn’t dance around in the end zone…”
And so on. When in doubt, this guy ditches the team because of its “character.”
But he’ll glad to cheer for a jerk who wins games.
THE “IN DENIAL” JUMPER This guy keeps his jumps subtle. When the team is winning, they’re “the Vikings” – lose, and they’re “your Vikings.”
Listen carefully, these guys are crafty.
THE “PREMATURE CONDEMNATION” JUMPER This guy actually jumps off and on the bandwagon several times a game. He is liable to turn off the TV after a crucial third-quarter turnover and vow to never watch again.
He’ll diving for the remote by the end of the commercial break.
This guy is kind of like a pathetic stock owner – he loves to play the market, but he’ll be on the phone with his broker the second that Microsoft dips a point.
Never go to this guy’s house to watch a game, and definitely don’t let him drive to the ‘Dome.
THE “PLAY GUS” JUMPER Also known as “Play Bouman” jumper and “Play Cunningham, wait, play Johnson” jumper.
This guy only understands one play in football: the deep ball. No matter how many points the team scores, he’ll complain about the QB’s skills if Randy Moss doesn’t see the ball on at least a half-dozen post patterns.
This is the same guy who plays in a family football game on Thanksgiving and keeps saying “No, seriously, I’ve got him beat. Just throw it long.”
He’ll actually cheer for the starting quarterback to fail because the backup played so much better – in two whole games! In the end, this guy usually clings to the bandwagon’s bumper long enough for the starting QB to get back in the groove.
THE “WHATEVER MAN” JUMPER As the game slips away from the home team, this guy loves to put on a small smile as though he is amused that everyone else is yelling/crying/breaking things.
Everyone wants to punch this guy in the face at that moment, because they remember how much he celebrated in victory. Yet there he is, laughing as though lamenting the loss is below him. He’s off the bandwagon before it even has wheels.
But somehow, you know this guy goes home and has a complete meltdown. That kind of makes it all worthwhile.
THE “BUSCH LIGHT” JUMPER This guy tailgates too long before every game, making him the loudest cheerer – and the first to chalk up the loss.
Never take this particular jumper to the ‘Dome.
Example: The Vikings put together a nice drive to open the game, but Moe Williams coughs up the ball near the goal line.
“That’s it,” guy says, sloshing a 3.2 Budweiser on your shirt. “You can’t turn that ball over. There’s no way…Moe…look at…I need a pretzel…”
The Purple later lose in a thrilling game, but the jumper only remembers that first play – largely because he spent most of the second half in the bathroom. But he’ll complain the whole way home that Moe blew the game and he’ll never watch again.
THE “YOU’RE A BANDWAGON JUMPER” JUMPER The worst bandwagon jumper of all.
True, this guy will support his team until the day he dies, but he has a built-in fandom radar. Any negative comments from people around him, and he’ll say the word bandwagon so much that you become glad you’re not on it anymore.
He doesn’t jump off the Vikings bandwagon – he jumps off the “having friends”-wagon.
“Man, it’s just not Daunte’s day out there,” you observe. “It’s tough to win when you throw four picks.”
“Great, just keep being a fair-weather fan,” guy fumes. “You know you can leave anytime.”
No matter how much you love the Purple, you suddenly would rather spend a weekend with Clay Aiken, Byron Chamberlain and the Arby’s Oven Mitt than watch a game with this guy.
So remember: No matter how annoying bandwagon fans may be, nothing is worse than the guy who insists upon calling them out.
Don’t be that guy.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful, And since we've no place to go, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
It doesn't show signs of stopping, And I brought some corn for popping; The lights are turned way down low, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
When we finally say good night, How I'll hate going out in the storm; But if you really hold me tight, All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying, And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing, But as long as you love me so. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

quote: Again, Britain was worried about the oil. With German troops so near and the battle of the Soviet Union well under way, the oil in Iran could prove a valuable asset to the war effort. It was thought that Germany was low on oil and would like to get their hands on the Iranian oilfields for use in the thousands of things oil was being used for, including fuel and plastics. Winston Churchill said, “The Iranian oilfields were a prime war factor,” meaning that the invasion of Iran was largely motivated by oil.

quote:If you're following the news, you know that the major religions differ in their interpretation of the holy books. For example, one way to interpret God's will is that you should love your neighbor. An alternate reading of the holy books might lead you to rig a donkey cart with small mortar rockets and aim it at a hotel full of infidels. In summary, po-tay-to, poh-tah-to. Religions are very flexible, and that's a loophole that the DNRC should exploit, especially during the holiday season.
Imagine, if you will, that all DNRC members moved their holiday gift-buying from December to January to take advantage of the sales. Then imagine that the money saved on gifts is invested at 5% compounded interest for 80 years. You'll be dead by then, but your estates would be worth literally hundreds of dollars, maybe more. Anyway, the point is that it's easier to park at the mall in January, and that's something that Jesus, Mohammed and Buddha would all agree is a good thing. Especially Buddha, if you know what I mean.

I yelled out my ADRAC And all hell let loose SAW ammo was flying Like shit from a goose The spent rounds, they were falling, on Jonesy's helm with such clatter that Sneaky arose to see what's the matter? He donned NVGs and ammo belts by the score looked down at his LBV and added a few more snatched up his rifle and ran for the wire and joined into the fray, the squabble and quagmire... He stabbed the first one and shot a few more they lay on the ground with head wounds galore And what to my wondering eyes should appear, but Dark Helmet dressed up in latex webgear. ...he peered out the jump door and into the night, and as the green light did shine, he jumped into the fight. shouting "Jump shithead, Jump dumbass, Jump moron!" and more, to the other Ranger Privates who followed him out of the door.

quote: The common treatment of the monopoly question is thoroughly mendacious and dishonest. No milder expression can be used to characterize it. It is the aim of the government to raise the domestic price of the commodities concerned above the world market level, in order to safeguard in the short run the operation of its pro-labor policies. The highly developed manufactures of Great Britain, the United States, and Germany would not need any protection against foreign competition were it not for the policies of their own governments in raising costs of domestic production. But these tariff policies, as shown in the case described above, can work only when there is a cartel charging monopoly prices on the domestic market. In the absence of such a cartel domestic production would drop, as foreign producers would have the advantage of producing at lower costs than those due to the new pro-labor measure. A highly developed trade-unionism, supported by what is commonly called "progressive labor legislation," would be frustrated even in the short run if domestic prices were not maintained at a higher level than that of the world market, and if the exporters (if exports are to be continued) were not in a position to compensate the lower export prices out of the monopolistic profits drawn on the home market. Where the domestic cost of production is raised by government interference, or by the coercion and compulsion exercised by trade-unions, export trade will need to be subsidized. The subsidies may be openly granted as such by the government, or they may be disguised by monopoly. In this second case the domestic consumers pay the subsidies in the form of higher prices for the commodities which the monopoly sells at a lower price abroad. If the government were sincere in its antimonopolistic gestures, it could find a very simple remedy. The repeal of the import duty would brush away at one stroke the danger of monopoly. But governments and their friends are eager to raise domestic prices. Their struggle against monopoly is only a sham.

quote: If I had a friend who refused to ever meet me at my house, who canceled at the last second whenever we did make plans, and who disappeared for long stretches of time with no explanation, chances are we wouldn't become close friends or remain friends for long. Behavior that is symptomatic in someone with a disorder is wildly selfish and untrustworthy for someone without it.
When is it okay to blame the disorder? And...if the disorder gets invoked to let them off of things, is it actually wrong of me to come to assume that they can't be trusted? Whatever the reason for it, the result is the same. I think if you want to claim largess for some actions because of it, you can't be upset when someone assumes you are going to act in ways that require large amounts of largess. In a completely voluntary relationship, exactly what role does the disorder play?
Corollary with that, how do you know the line between someone experiencing symptoms that make it look like they are, say, untrustworthy and that person simply being untrustworthy on their own?
