You have forfeited the right to claim anybody should respond to your nonsensical "arguments".
Whatever will your talking points coaches have you do now?

Whatever. I am in a much more agreeable state due to the Alba thread.

Albaholicisall, Mostly I saw red x city in that thread, but maybe they did include the shots of the other nipple in her wardrobe malfunctions - those are quite common pics.
if you have not, I suggest more unovered Albaness in Good Luck Chuck and Awake (including the soaked t-shirt scenes).

I hope you did not confuse a compliment for a complaint. I assumed you were aware Albaholics refer to themselves as such.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Gosh I hate to drag real world experience into a real-world thread, but having helped create a written chemist exam I can tell you that it's way too easy for unconscious bias to sneak into the questions, and very hard to ferret it out.

Now, OTOH, if the fire fighters are complaining about having to take ANY sort of written multiple-choice test.... screw 'em. If they choke on a test, how will they respond to a real-world crisis?

I'm in favor of standardized testing. I used to write questions for the SAT, and ETS was real strict on that sort of stuff. OTOH, for some reason when I got the test there was a question on it about Hamlet's soliloquy. "Soliloquy" was the vocab word, and the foils were things like "diatribe." It would have been possible to answer not knowing Shakespeare but knowing the language very well, but the question would be a shoe in for anyone familiar with Shakespeare. I wonder how the question got in there, given that I could never have put up anything close to that.

But in man-hour terms, the standardized test is the obvious answer. And it's better done by some massive corporation than an individual teacher. Random college students with last year's test can get an A in some classes without knowing anything about the subject. It's a tricky art.

No halfwit, you seem to be missing that my sole point here is to piss of Rappy. You just stepping in front of the target.

"Enlightened". Now that is funny, I will give you that.

I don't care how good they are at arguing a point, anyone who so slavishly devotes themselves to failed policies and ways of thinking so bad they've led us to an ever deepening spiral of woe, cannot be considered anything other than a Moran. Which is why they deserve nothing but scorn and mockery.

A "fleet" or "armada" generally implies military connotations, though. You can have a fleet of warships, but generally not a fleet of yachts.

Does that make sense?

Armada is Spanish, coming from medieval Latin for army. It's usually used to refer to an entire fleet that has been tasked with a single mission, instead of breaking the fleet up into individual squadrons.

A Regatta is a race.

Fleets are less military than Flotilla really. Flotilla are fleets which are comprised of the same class of ship.

You can have a fleet of virtually anything, like a company car fleet, or a fishing fleet. Personally I'd guess that a group of Yachts would be a flotilla, but fleet would work equally well.

*There's still a lotta leftover socialist leanings in the black community, and the reason for that is a quite natural counter-reaction to hardline right/imperial racism over the years, and to understand why that can naturally come around to Anarchism so easily, I've provided a handy, although oversimplified, visual aid for ya.

Ya sure? 'cause I look back and blacks weren't on the left until the 1960s, maybe 50s, 40s, some migration, but all that time it was dems who were being imperialist.

Here's my take: Folks support it when they get a hand out. Any voter bloc can probably be bought. I know a lot of conservatives who can't move from their position because they want their tax break. Same damn thing. Of course, not everyone is a sell out, but those who do invoke peer pressure on everyone else.

Goes back to that whole addiction thing. The reward system, the handout/tax break recipient stands the same thing to gain by garnering local support.

Only reason I say this is Think about the civil rights movement that turned the black population democratic. The GOP at the time was in power, when it started, and supported the idea. They didn't have anything against Eisenhower/Nixon, and sure, there was republican resistance to the idea, but there was a lot of democratic resistance as well (Strom Thurmond's lil campaign? for example?)

IMHO, It's a Kennedy/Johnson magic trick, like the one Cheney's crew pulled with Christians (they weren't always republicans.)

Just my 2 cents, now back to work

Gah.

I don't check in often enough and I miss the entire point of a thread. I don't even know what to comment on now. Latinas with an oral fixation? Bombing people? Firefly retention? Ass to mouth? What's going on?!

I'm not surprised the administration is vetting people with problems. I'm surprised they aren't mentioning the known problems with the announcement and why it should not be a problem for their new position. Not that I care much for their choices thus far...but am I ever going to be completely happy with an appointment? Nah.

Christian Bale is a decent looking guy, but I'm not the best judge. You're supposed to be the judge of that. If you're part of the girl on girl crowd, post girls, everyone'll appreciate that 'cept fmf.

He does have the cache of being psycho du jour. I think it's hollywood that put the pressure on, might have even given him the steroids and amphetamines that I'm guessing pushed him over the edge. As long as he doesn't go all Mel Gibson on us it'll probably work out okay.

I don't actually have a Jessica Alba obsession, just feeding what the people want. It was a dark angel thread, that's why. I figure, keep it topical. Otherwise madness might ensue. (witness my exchange with fmf on the dark angel thread, which itself is just softcore porn, that's what happens when Chris tries to be serious. It's my fault, I think. Rap started it!)

1. This thread was about something?

2. Not latinas with an oral fixation, whether or not they would do better with an oral exam. ;)

3. The theory at large is that Obama is trying to knock down his own nominees, because they aren't his personal picks, they were handed to him by the Clintonistas. We know this mostly because he said who he wanted for cabinet picks, as have the Clintons, and oh, look who got nominated? and that's because Obama knows like no one in washington, and the clintons know like everyone, so they pulled strings. so, sure, these are technically his nominees, but they aren't the people he wants. He'd much rather have Buffett for treasury than Geitner. Who wouldn't? But president ain't a king. He has to deal with people. I guess a king has to deal with influence peddlers too.
