Does organic food turn people into jerks?
Fri May 18, 2012
- I know people who buy/eat organic who are "food nazis" as well as people who buy/eat organic who are the nicest people you'd ever meet. I think the real issue is that some (not all) people who think they are taking the moral high ground on any issue begin to act superior.
Men, women worry about unemployment differently

- TBill & Rob - no idea where you're getting your statistics, but ones I've read don't support your slightly misogynistic conclusions. Rob - independence is not "rare. VERY rare." More than 25% of Americans over the age of 18 are single people living alone. Almost 55% of them are women.
Former Bain honcho says economic inequality is OK
Wed May 2, 2012
- I can't believe the extent of Mr. Conard's arrogance and blindness. People think the current economy serves the wealthy because they don't understand how the economy works? And the financial crisis wasn't the result of corrupt bankers selling dodgy products? Bull$h!t. Complete and utter bull$h!t.
Spirit Airlines pulls 'More bang for your buck' ad that spoofed Secret Service
Sat Apr 21, 2012
- Do you really think Obama himself is responsible for getting this ad pulled and having Ted Nugent's concert cancelled? With all that a President has to think about and act upon, I doubt any of them -- Republican or Democrat -- would know what entertainer is playing where or what airline is running …
Towns outlawing extreme garage sales
Tue Apr 17, 2012
- @ice and beezlie - yes, I know the point that Ug1 was making when posting "ebayers, craiglisters, drug dealers." Maybe you missed my sentence that I get the point about the underground economy? But IMO, bringing up extreme examples like drug dealers when you're talking about yards sales becoming …

Tue Apr 17, 2012
- eBayers, craiglisters, drug dealers. . . heck, where was I when the drug dealers were having a yard sale? Didn't see that one posted on the community bulletin board. . . looks like I missed another good sale! lol

Sen. Grassley calls the president 'stupid'
Sun Apr 8, 2012
- @backcountry - if you followed the conversation, then I can only conclude that you're deliberately mischaracterizing what I said. I addressed my comment to specific people in reference to what they said. End of that story.
Sen. Grassley calls the president 'stupid'
Sun Apr 8, 2012
- @backcountry - my post was in response to a particular thread: someone said that (and I'm paraphrasing) Obama had called people stupid. Another poster asked for citation. In response to that, someone else posted that Obama said the Cambridge cops acted stupidly.
Sen. Grassley calls the president 'stupid'
Sun Apr 8, 2012
- thetrust, spike & floyd - a little grammar lesson on the difference between "stupid" and "stupidly." "Stupid" as Grassley used it characterizes a person. "Stupidly" describes an action. "Stupid" is a personal attack.
