It's the ultimate ricer. A 3 ft high wing, 20" rims, a coffee can sized fart pipe, bondo grey body kit. Black out the windows throw in a huge ass sound system, neon underkit. It will be awesome. In antifreeze green and silver.
Didn't you get the memo. It ne-ver rains in Cal-forn-ya.
Nuke them all. Gordon will send you a dollah.
The peaceful peaceloving people of peace and freedom of FARC and Venezuelastan are being crushed under the imperial boot. More Cocaine! More Kidnapping! More Killing!
Viva la revolucion!
And sitting on my hippy ass doing nothing. I got a Salon Gold Star.
Retarded Salon Progressive fashion the solution to all of this is to do nothing and let nature revert to how it was a thousand years ago while we blame all the people who don't drive electric cars in San Francisco.
Yeah sure life is all sacred and shit but let's see what the psychotard Christians think when millions upon millions of unwanted children are supported on their public dime until adulthood. You will see those morons running to enact new pro abortion laws like they were being chased by lions.
"women" are so far down the list of handwringing liberal causes you won't see a Female president for another hundred years.
So the mental picture of fat sweating writhing people jabbering at each other in Oz is just too funny.
Not that there's anything wrong with that....
Somehow I don't think we really need 40,000 troops in Japan, 30,000 in Korea and 60,000 in Germany. I'm guessing we could spare a few of them.
They simply bask in rainbows and sunshine, like plants.
No one here remembers 2001, 1999, 1994, 1987, 1981, 1980, 1974. Those were all pretty bad years too. Better to take steps than to pound your keyboards furiously. Or not.
And how it's not their own fault for living there.
In Italy they scaled back the national pension system more than 2 years ago and created quite a panic as people who had worked their whole lives were now told to expect pension benefits cuts as deep as 30%. Needless to say they did not embrace their inner hippy and declare that a good thing for the sake of that whole 'less is more' ethos so popular here.
The problem really is that ramping up a labor pool takes time and even were they to fling open the doors today and tell 500 million Asians, Africans and Arabs to come in and work, in Europe there's a big gap in how to fund retirees in the next 10-15 years. Now, one could adopt the Salon Uber Alles approach and just tell those senior citizens to fuck themselves and die for the greater good but then you'd at least have to pretend to listen to their concerns before blowing them off.
So they've got that going for them.
We know he did not like a Moog. But Moogs back then were not a keyboardists keyboard. In terms of tone and timbre now though you can make an electronically enhanced piano or better yet, a Synclavier do pretty much whatever you want it to.
I killed the electric car. My bad.
Why? Because if someone comes after me to sue for illegal content I will turn around and sue the ISP and YouTube for delivering it to me. Viacom wants to use threats of force against Google's customer's to police Google for them. I say go direct to the source.
Be it McCain the Membrane or be it Trandimensional Buddah of the Obamaverse, we will be in Iraq until 2013 or when Iran goes nuclear, whichever is first. And since the Iranian defense minister just announced that they will kill the Israelis (who don't exist) with nukes (they aren't making) on top of missiles (they didn't buy from Korea) I would think that that date will be somewhat sooner than 2013. In fact the best thing for Salonotrons would be if Iran ramps up their nuclear program ASAP and makes a credible path towards actually using them on Americans (boo hiss) or the Jews (double plus boo hiss). This would have the effect of calling their bluff and driving the evil Americans and super evil Jews from the region which would then be ruled in peace and freedom forever by the beneficent and peaceloving Ayatollahs of peace.
July 4 evil holiday celebrating the worst country on earth. Boo hiss down with America.
All of you freeze and starve in the dark. We should take steps to do away with all technology and all products that have anything to do with oil, gas, coal and nuclear immediately. After the plagues and riots and civil wars claim 90% of you the world will be a better place.
It must run on the collective intelligence of Greens and hippies.
55? You must be a dumbass. 65? That's so 1967. 70? Nah. 75? Getting warm.
If those slackers simply elect to keep working and not be a burden to the system it would help. There's no iron law of physics that says you're entitled, you have a right, to kick back and live off the backs of others. Back in the day the average 'retiree' at the inception of the Social Security system collected benefits for 13 months. Then died. What is that age now? 80? Ok so make people work until 80. I am 1 billion percent behind that.
doesn't matter, he wasn't after a true 'piano' sound. He was after a sound he heard in his head.
Good, that's a GOOD thing. Sue the carrier and the host. Not the endpoint. The RIAA only beats up on those who don't fight back. Trust me, phone companies fight back.
Iraq has become one of those bellwether issues like abortion and gun control that has NO resolution nor does anyone truly want it resolved. They want it to stand as their brand of personal outrage about something or other.
Moreover the US has never actually had a real-life foreign policy vis a vis Iraq. It's all 100% straight up crisis management.
