LOL LOL LOL

My girlfriend doesn't come on to this site very much.. she only posted one message, one that went through missouris ear, and out the other, it was a shame too because it was actaully a Really good message that should have stuck on his chest, and it was SPELLED perfectly too!

Thats 85% more then you can all say for me.. but yes she doiesn't come on here very much.. shes always typing away at her e-mails 19 hours of the day.. to some girlie girlie friends tlaking about manacures, menstrual cycles which is all pretty much.. CRAP!

You know honestly i could never be catholic. Congradualtions to the people who are, your a lot of a better person then i will ever be, but there are too many rules (NO offence to catholic people, desendants, and faith followers.) You know, comming from Quebec, where over 90% of the people attended church at least once every week, according to a census done in 1956, in 1996 the number was less then 4%.. in 2003 that number is now 3%, mind you 3% of 5 million people is quite abit... back in 1956 it was 90% of 2.2 million. Today we have evovled into such an extreme radicalists among quebec society.. almsot every Quebec MP in the house of commons voted "YES" to the legalization of same-sex marriage. I understand that is a very touchy issue in the USA, not quite as it is here. The goverenement made a satatement yesturday after the house vote came to 137 yes, 132 no.. if the law doesn't get passed, he will use the not withstanding clause on the charter of rights to put this law through..

what was my point again.. hold up.. ah yes.. see the catholic religion plays almost no role in how the society of Quebec, and canada for that matter function today., you know they did a study last week and about 1/3rd, or 33% of the population of the USA, say they are born again christians, or preactice the faith on a regualar basis.. well up here that is the exact same number (33% or 1/3) that do not want to see same sex marriages become legal. the other 66% do or couldn't give a rats ***. the actual number of Canadians who think they are born again christians, and i'm not going to lie to you.. i believe i'm a christian- is around 8 - 10%.. now just because i'm a christian doesn't mean i don't like gay marriages, HECK i'm all for it! i beleive in revolution and progression, i believe in moving on! I think it will be one of the best things around.

So am i a christian.. yes.. but i consider myself to be in the group called "2004 christians" can't let the the church decide whats best for society today. as far as i'm concerned, they are a relic of ancient law, and times are a changing, weather one likes it or not.

Thats how i feel, now before i get kicked off for such a radiacl view, i just want to say.....
ED FOR PRESIDENT!

peace everyone

Hi Kev,
Why do I have the feeling your girlfriend hasnt read this forum in a while?
And yes, Aimee has three real tight a**ed prude sisters, so stuck on themselves and what they consider nasty that they will not even get basic cable into their homes, because it shows "R rated movies, and they dont want their children to see such trash".
Got a real big surprise for them, what their kids see at school and over at their friends houses make HBO look real tame!
And unless I miss my guess, devote Catholics like them belive in only one immaculate conception, so somewhere along the line they are going to have to explain to all their rug rats where and how they came to be!
Would I love to have a camera on that conversation!
Stay Frosty,
Ed

Zardoz1,
Took a cruise on the site you listed.
Confimed something I have felt all along.
There are a lot of people out there so disilluisioned with their goverment, not just America's but their own, that they will grasp at any other explaination to make sense of the horrid things humans are capable of doing to each other.
Million upon millions of people out there, and being able to project and predict the actions of 1 million of one percent is beyond reality.
Basicly, people do weird stuff, for no appearent reason.
As the grandson of a Jew, I found the NWO(I assume the New World Order) Rules of Zion paticulary depressing, yet almost ludicrous too!
That site reminded me of the fact that there are a lot of people who belive the stuff they read in the Enquirer rags you find at grocrey store checkouts, you know, the ones that claim Jesus and Elvis are the same person, and Elvis isnt dead, he was abducted by ailens.
Make it easy for you to understand where I am coming from.
Navy brat, son of a lifer, Chief Petty Officer, who spent the last 6 years of his career attached to the US Embassy Service.
Got to do a lot of country hopping with him, and saw first hand a lot of the things most Americans only see on the news or in exagerated movies.
Saw parts of Russia first hand back when it wasnt a new best buddy of America.
Been to Great Britian, and India and a few other places.
Slavery still exsist there, by the way, and its not only legal, its expected and accepted by the general population.
Imagine the most bad off street person you have seen here.
He or she is living a life of luxeury compaired to most of the untouchables in India.
If your are one of the untouchables there, and your shadow touches the shadow of a upper class person, the upper class person can have you beaten, right there, by the local police, in full view of everyone, because you made their shadow unclean.
No one will raise a hand to stop it.
Made quite an impression on a young American boy.
Even the most base of us here have more civil rights than most other countries allow to their citizens.
No need to open my eyes with a "true" news site hosted by a wired radio Disc Jockey, I perfered to go and see things for myself, before I accept any one elses version of what is true, correct or right.
After having watched a man beg to be allowed to get a drink of water out of a toilet bowl, not much on that site will open my eyes or change my view of national or world politics.
Worring about weither ailens are abducting people, are ufos real, the NWO of Zion and where did Elvis go? seems sorta trivial compaired to having to watch one human force another to drink out of a toilet, and discover that the owner of the toilet felt completly justified in humiliating this old man, because thats the way it has been since time began there, and his religion teaches hims thats the way to treat other, lesser and "untouchable" human beings.
Stay Frosty,
Ed

Oh, by the way, for your consideration for further political discussions, I offer this link for you to explore. It will take you to a site that might completely change the way you think about the governments of the world. At least, I hope it does.

I have no problem with political discussions and/or venting. My only suggestion was to start a thread devoted to the subject; perhaps you will get more contributors and differing viewpoints, which might lead to more lively discussion.

Ed,
Good to know your a Socal boy. Getting in any surfing in Texas lately, I hear the waves in Gavelston are way knarly, dude! :-D

This just in, the State Court of Appeals has DELAYED the recall based on an ACLU complaint about having to use outdated punchcards that were ruled usuable after the last election.

SOOOO now we get a few more months of political campaigning and alway remember what the Great Sage Will Rogers once said, "Give a man enough rope, and he'll hang himself..."

In other words, Ahhnoold cant hide behind the "short campaign-dont say anything-just trust me" platform he's been relying on. Now he HAS to take stands on issues or people will see him as just a stuffed shirt full of straw, no muscles. MacClintock, that crafty old %$&* I think was planning on this all along. Now him and Bustamonte will push Ahnoold into the ground issue wise. I think its going to be an interesting couple of months, and I absolutley DO NOT mind seeing Mary Kary on TV at any time, I want to know can we make her the official State Mascot?

   Have fun with your trains

As for running in California, well, I was born there, National City, San Diego.
Navy brat.
But grew up in Texas, were my Dad was from.
Seems your current gov hasnt had a chance to prove what hes made of or how he is going to fix things.
But I dont live there, and can only go by what I read and see on the news.
But I think your next governor is going to have a heck of a weight room and gym!
Zardoz1, your right, we should only write about trains here.
Which of course means that myself, Kev, Mookie, Skeets, Bergie, VSmith, Mudchicken, DonClark, Bfsf and about everyone else needs to quit wasting your time with our political postings.
Oh, forgot, Amtrak is a political subject too, isnt it?
Could have sworn for a second there you were discussing politics.

Theres a HOOTERS in Old Town Pasadena and I can tell you people do not go there for the food. They go either because they think that they look cool eating there or they are ogling over the gal's that work there. Sorry but to me its just trendy, if I want good hot wing's there are plenty of good places to go.

As for Edi in California, I would be against it simply because it reinforces the wrong headed notions that are behind the recall.

Do the KFC's I mean PFK's in Canada serve their Extra Crispy Fried Poulet with a white wine sauce and little potatoes with a sprig of asparegus for accent? Sorry but the image of some good'ole southern cooking given a french twist has warped my already bent mind.

   Have fun with your trains
