Tex, Rose McGowan is hot in my opinion, so looking like her ain't all that bad. You think you spent a lot on glasses, I spent almost $500 on my last pair. Yeah, not a typo, $500. I got special frames that are able to bend and then spring back into shape, a special titanium memory metal. I got them after my kids broke my old ones after some roughhousing. The lenses are high-index plastic, so they're not as thick as a Coke bo
If you hide or harbor Terrorist and your dumb enough to do it with your family in the house. So be it. Bombs away!! Amen to that, maybe people will think twice about it if it happens enough. -- B

Wait, wait, wait..."disproportionate force"? As in "Our bombs make a bigger boom than yours?" Eh, isn't that the point of war, to completely destroy your enemy, or hobble them enough that they grovel for mercy at your knees? Am I missing something? -- B
Didn't fool me, as I read an article on this yesterday in full context. You do understand that the French missiles only get within one mile of their target right? That's when the engines cut off and it falls to the ground with a little white flag sticking out the back. -- B
Hey Osama, come on down to Manhattan island. I know a couple of million New Yorkers that would love to shake your hand (then throw your ass into the Hudson River). What a putz. -- B
So, let me get this straight Mr_Frog, your complaint is that eBay doesn't put things in writing enough to say that charging more than 100% more than actual shipping costs is considered excessive that no one should be able to complain about excessive shipping charges? I'm not the one complaining. I wa
See, again the problem is the way that "excessive" is interpreted. Nowhere on any of those pages does EBay actually cite an example of what "excessive" shipping charges are, only the reprecussions of what might happen should a user recieve too many complaints. scam Pronunciation: 'skam Function: noun 1.) a fraudulent or deceptive act or operation fraud Pronunciation: 'frod Function: noun<B
If they don't make a sale with an initial listing, they rip off eBay because they can get a free relisting of a unsold item I don't consider it ripping eBay off, since eBay is the one offering to relist the item for free. They surely could pull this feature any time they wanted to, if they felt it was
Still, given the ambiguous wording in eBay's TOS, sellers that do this are breaking the rules and are ripping off eBay and the buyers they sell to. Dude, I know you're smarter than that...reverting to blaming the TOS doesn't do you justice. As I said before, unless it is a blatant bait and switch, I c
And TW, I'm not trying to call you a 'tard or rag on you or anything like that. You just have to be a smart shopper, and part of that is looking at the full price of the item (fine print included). -- B
It's somewhat unethical in that it takes advantage of people (based on the assumption that, like me, until they are "burned" most folks will bid not expecting a shipping fee double or more what they are paying for the item). See, and that's the thing...you have to remember the old adage: "A fool and his
I've come up against the same thing before, and I do think it's somewhat unethical. How can it be unethical? Unless the seller is not disclosing the shipping cost up front, you are fully aware of what the final cost of the item will be to you. If you are only willing to spend $10 total on an item, and
USA economies is falling like a rock and gas prices is flying like airplane on it's takeoff. Hmm, the Dow just went over 11k for the first time in four years. Gas prices here are hovering around $2.10/gal. (down from the $3.49 high during the Katrina cluster-fuck.) Oh, and I'm pulling
Dude!!! You're about two hours from where I live! How much longer are you in the States for? If possible, I would be honored to buy you a beer or three. -- B
My mom died last year choking on a piece of steak. She was out on the patio eating and my aunt had gone inside for about 5 minutes to get something. Came back out and my mom was on the ground, blue. The paramedics arrived and got the meat out, but by then it was too late. I remember the same thing happened to me when I was about four. I started choking on a hard candy and I remember my dad just picking me up by my foot and going to town.
Why are the majority of the inmates on DEATH ROW in American prisons predominantly black and statistically speaking well beyond the propotion of their percentage in the US population. Maybe it's because they commit more crimes? If you've got so many statistics, why don't you look up WHY they're on deat
Short answer: "Yes." Put it to bed already. -- B
It's a hippie bus! I think you got my dad's castaway...he used to own one of these in the late 70's. I still have fond memories of some of the trips we took in it. -- B
I know about the $1100/mo. thing. I was living in an apartment where the ceiling (yes, the ceiling) above the bathtub literally fell into the tub from a longstanding leak from the apartment upstairs. It took the apartment complex two months to fix it. I almost got arrested for "tresspassing" when I went to the complex office and bitched out the site manager. I feel your pain Dharma. I feel your pain. -- B

OK, I'll play the retard card. What the hell's it mean? -- B
Yeah, since nobody won, the pot now stands at $340 mill. They say that the cash option would get you $154.4 mill out the door. It's funny because there are some companies out there that invest in this kind of thing. -- B
Congratulations! I know that you were kind of mulling the position over with some disdain, but look at it this way...now you're getting something a little extra in return. Just make the best of the situation and go with the flow. -- B
