Just a few ill founded random statements about nothing in particular........... :banghead:

This is a nation where O.J. Simpson walks free, and Martha Stewart goes to jail.

A nation where a woman made over $500,000 because her coffee was "too" hot.

A nation where shooting a man who broke into your own home will get YOU thrown in jail.

A nation where the working-class, tax-payers support criminals doing "Life", while the liberals seek to abolish the death penalty.

A nation where any woman can scream rape at any moment, and ruin any man's reputation for the rest of his life.

A nation where millionares who are anorexic and the poor who are obese are "suffering" from "eating disorders". (I wonder what they call it in Africa these days?)

A nation which will legally and socially uphold the integrity and individualism of a man who prefers to wear a dress to the office, moreso than a man who simply hands out "Christmas cards" at a "HOLIDAY" party.

A nation where people stand in line for more than 10 hours to buy a $12 movie ticket.

A nation where people willingly pay $4.00 for a CUP of coffee, and scream in outrage about having to pay $3.00 for a GALLON of gasoline.

A nation which will pay for the rehabilitation of drug-addicts and alcohilcs, and then place them in YOUR office, while college graduates are working at McDonald's, struggling to pay off their student loans.

A nation that will fund programs to save the Prairie Dog simply to prevent office building expansions....and then wonder why there are people in the same comminuty who can't find work?

A nation where the citizens so openly critisize "Security Measures" and then wonder how something like 9/11 could've happened?

Wake up America! :ill_h4h:

My favorite is when somebody stands around at my office complaining about the price of gas as they sip on a 16 oz bottle of water that they just paid a buck for. At least there was some labor involved in harvesting the beans and making a cup of coffee. :wacko:

The thing is, we don't rely on bottled water or coffee to get us from point A to point B. It's not something that we have to buy..

Some might argue that coffee gets them from point A to point B and to you I say, coffee stunts your growth.

A nation where you can't order a coffee without saying Tall, Venti or Grande. All I want is a medium cup of coffee.

I always picture some fat guy laughing his arse off while he fills up plastic bottles at a kitchen sink.

And for those who snobbily say they don't like the "taste" of tap water, if you live in an area with good water, you can't tell the difference. It's WATER! It doesn't have a taste. Put a filter on your refrigerator or buy a Britta picher. It'll save you plenty to pay for the gas price hike.

The thing is, even with the higher gas prices, I don't it's led to any real change in the behavior of most people as far as how they drive. Maybe everybody tries to be a little more judicious with their usage, but I haven't seen much of a change so far.

I think people are spending less money on other things, much to Wal-Marts dismay.

But tap water doesn't have that label that gives the water a fresh tasting bluish hue. :focus:

I know that the official vehicle of Lex is still the Lexus RX series, and I haven't seen any hybrids. Those RXs are all over the freakin place.

I hate those kinds of things. Give it 5 years and they'll say it might hurt your liver.

The funniest one I've seen yet is the sunscreen debate. Wear your sunscreen or you'll get skin cancer. Then they turn around and tell us that sunscreen could be bad because we don't get as much Vitamin D by blocking out the sun, so use with caution.
