US moves to orange alert

I wouldn't have any problem with being a little sensitive to those who requie more of it, but the fact is, this joke had very little (I say nothing at all) to do with 9/11.

 

Pretty much the equiv of telling a blonde joke & then claiming that it is insensitive to the Brunettes Against Hairdye Club

Funny, Matt, thanks for posting!

<p>

If you think his joke was offensive, try this:

<p>

A pedophile serial-killer is holding a boy's hand as they walk into the woods. The boy says, "I don't wanna go in the woods, mister. It's dark and I'm scared!" Man answers, "<i>You're</i> scared? I have to walk out of here by myself!"

Kevin... inoffensive, but not funny :-Þ

Thanks, Matt, very funny.

 

Frank P., even if some terrorists had gone through Canada, don't you know that you

cannot judge the past with the knowledge of the future? Who, at that time, was on

high alert for terrorists? No one. Nowhere. Including in the US. And the FBI itself

dismissed very important piece of info concerning the upcoming attack. But then

again, the FBI is Canadian.

whoever asked about where this material originated from...not too sure. may be rick mercer.

 

jay, i think your pants are a little tight.

Back when JFK, Jr. died, the joke going around was:<P><B>Egypt Air has a new flight, from JFK to JFK Jr.</B>

Look, we've already apologized for Brian Adams several times.

Frank, not a dead baby joke, but a close one for you:

 

<P>When Edwin <I>"Laissez les bons temps roulez!"</I> Edwards was running for election as Governor of Louisiana, the night before the elections he said to an interviewer: "The only way I'll lose this election is if I'm caught in bed with a live boy or a dead girl!"

Oh, what the hell, censors be damned!

 

Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner are out on their yacht. He steps out of the bathroom and says, "Honey, we have company coming. You want to take a shower?" She says, "No thanks, I'll wash up on shore."

A recent Jay Leno joke: The Vatican calls up the White House and says, "Please treat Saddam fairly." The White House replies: "Don't worry, we won't treat him like an altar boy."

Geez, what a bunch of hyper-sensitive little girls. All of a sudden Jay's become Mr. Sensitivity? LOL

All politicians are self serving and only concerned with getting themselves re-elected and fattening their stock funds. And I thought they were the Noble among us. Keep getting things wrong.

 

 

Hope no Aussies hear you Vic, they all hate Fosters.

 

Phew, I was getting worried about them.

Of course, wood floats.

Why didn't JFK Jr. shower before flying to the wedding?

 

He figured he'd wash up on the beach.

 

PJW

Very well done!

I read Matt's post and thought is was very funny. I thought I'd reply with an attempt at wit, myself.

 

But then I read the rest of the thread.

 

For all us Americans - election year is upon us (still), expect more.

Funny or not it has nothing to do with what this forum is dedicated for. There are other venues much better suited for these discussions. But then Again ??? What do I know???

 

Matt comedy or politics � there is live if everyone gets their digital PS camera.

 

Regards.

Bottom line, lets look at Sad man. A politician, yes, that's what he was. Kissed babies, told the voting power groups what they wanted to here; after the media conditioned them. Really, what was he all about...he's pocket, and ego. Sad as he was, he still sent millions to their death. Perhaps folk should really start using their own brain and thoughts. a novel idea, maybe. Just a few thoughts.

My thoughts on politics, are very simple. Every person born on this little dirt ball flying through space, should by right, be entitled to education, shelter and food. What they do after that, is down to them. Until that condition exists, well, there are going to be Sad mans and Bin heads. Add extremism, politically and religious. Well, what do you think.....goodnight Vienna.#

 

Or, goodnight humanity. There�s a thought.

Of course, you can always dream on. Sort of like a ostrich with it's head in the sand. It's all about education, so folks can think for themself..

Not Politics, common sense. Anyway, my rants finished...carry on;)

Thankfully, this condition doesn't exist in the United States. Such rights would then lawfully oblige others to provide these things regardless of their will. Sounds like slavery to me. More equitable, of course, is the right of the persuit of these and other forms of happiness.

This thread is chattery and OT and completely unrelated to Leica Photography. But in light of the fact that I have been deleting so many OTHER off topic threads lately, this one can stay as long as, as Josh has pointed out, it doesn't get nasty and/or stupid. It's obvious that we need some flexibility here because of such a large and diverse membership. I can dig it. Now.... flame away.

Some old bloke in ancient Greece, said all this, long before my thoughts. He was called Plato. He was a ugly old bloke, with a wife with a mouth like a crocodile. Suppose he sort of developed philosophy as compensation. Good night, and God bless.

You not only lost the war of 1812 you also lost the pig war; that

was more important.

As far as the orange alert goes, most major cities have been

operating under those guidelines for years. :<).

Bwaaaaaaahahahahaa! The pursuit of food and shelter is done in the name of happiness??

 

"I think I'll just skip eating for a year or two... hmmm, but it might make me a tad UNHAPPY"

 

Heh, what a fierce abuse of logic...
