Reply to Beckham can take the punches.... in Sports & Leisure JoeUser Forums

Pele did not. So I would not bet on it. That's not exactly true. Pele did a lot to increase awareness and popularity of the league. After he retired, though, much of that dried up, and eventually killed it outright. The difference here is that Beckham is more of a team-playmaker, whereas Pele was an individual playmaker. Given Beckham's star

They asked little girls at pre-school and elementary schools to play with the doll they think is better. In almost all cases they chose the white dolls. They also asked them to choose which one was the nicest and the prettiest, they chose the white doll once again, 99.9 % of them did. What's wrong with this picture? Were all the little girls whit

Oh wait, are you going to tell us Hitler would have been talked out of it as well? I believe he couldve, again, if we had the right chips. I'm curious, what might those chips have been? Offer up a few more countries? Tell him that if he stops his goal to conquer the world that we'll spend more money trading with his country? <br

mark a vote for pandering. If they make a long term fix, it's no longer an issue to which dems can point. "But look what we did for you last time" "And what have you done for me today...?"

we destroyed the government and institutions that let them live in peace, and bad as they were, failed to replace them with anything better We removed the man that forced them to live in peace, not the institutions. How long until that would have occurred once Saddam died. The Iraqi government would not have survived a weak leader. My percepti

"All I need to see is that waste of human flesh ColGene agreed with you to know that I wasted my time in reading it." I have to say that when I read this it sounded strikingly similar to the "bash Bush" complaints frequently levied against COL. As it is often stated that he is blind to rational consideration so long as he can blame Bush; you've

Reply to Political Persuasion Quiz....Try It ! in Politics JoeUser Forums

I would have liked more generalized questions that weren't so obviously tied to partisan ideals. People who self-identify by political party can easily pick out which would make them appear as what they want people to think they are. A good test would be harder to rubber stamp. They manage to do so with personality tests by asking derivations of

People are still debating if there is or not worldwide climate changes? Only a few loons from the opposing side of that which DG describes. What is up for debate, however, is the causes of such warming, be it man-made (which is likely true to at least some degree) or other natural variations, such as sun activity, interactions with othe

Friends don't let friends wear fanny packs. Too true. The man purse is unacceptable, but the fanny pack is an outright crime against humanity. This is your brain. *cracks egg into frying pan* This is your brain if I catch you wearing a fanny pack.

Envisioning all of those sharp claws in the pocket. gee'ah! Can't help but flinch at that thought. If you really can't deal with not having extra carrying space, get a backpack. I carry around my laptop bag frequently, but a man purse is never acceptable. Kinda like capri pants. But then again, I just don't like those thin

It's enough to put people right back on edge again... I'm sure. We had enough information rather quickly that by the time most of us were aware of the situation, they already knew it was a small plane. It certainly formed the main topic of conversation at my office, though most of us just took it as a tragic event but ultimately not

You drink at home to save money before going to a bar. I dunno about this one, I've done that since college. For myself and a couple of buddies, the night usually started with five or six miller lites and a shot on the way out the door. Then it was off to the bars.

Reply to What’s with some of those weird signatures? in Misc JoeUser Forums

I certainly have developed one of those unique scribbles. It includes my first initial, an odd squiggle, middle initial, and last initial followed by an "L" and squiggle. None of my names include an L, though. With my terrible dexterity, though, it's still never the same twice. When I was in second grade, my parents were told to invest in a computer, since my writing was so atrocious. Shortly after I turned 21, I was in a liquor store buyi
