That's cool man. We know. But you can always ask your sister for
some more money from *her* inheritance. You'll need it to buy juice
for your dik, beans and rice, etc. And shit that your leaf needs so
often.

Don't worry, she'll bail your ass out.

There's a reason their father put his sister in charge of the trust. He
knew John would blow right through his money. He was still living like
he was a teenager in a house full of students who were renting rooms
from the Cheap Chinese Landlord even though John was 50-something years
old at the time. He bought the house for more than market value,
without even having a home inspection, then bitched about things that
needed to be fixed. DUH. He already knew there were problems since
he'd been living there and bitching about the "cheap" landlord for years.

He dumped all of his money into it. That's all well and good except his
grand plan for "International Shared Student Living" went sideways. He
installed three car charging ports because he assumed his renters would
also jump on the electric car bandwagon and rent rooms from him forever.
Funny thing about foreign students who come to the US for an education
- they generally go back home. So much for that master plan. But hey,
I hear he plays a mean Djembe. ;)

The roof is the biggest joke. They tore it all off and gave him a

when he posted pictures while it was underway but scatterbrained John
ignored it. He was ripped off. He paid for a "restoration" and got a

The anthem is still played at sporting events. But I agree, it seems to
be less in your face than before, probably as Ed says, to avoid controversy.
But it is still played, especially at high profile events with insane flyovers
and giant flagged held out across the entire field by our stone-faced volunteer
'warrior' protectors. I always resented the anthem as an intrusion. People
stand for it. But I wonder if they stand at home when it's played. I don't know,
but I doubt it. This tends to prove that standing during the anthem is almost
entirely a peer pressure thing. It is usually played at sporting events in which
individuals or teams represent a city. Cities are governments, hence the
anthem. You don't hear the anthem before a billiards or bowling championship.
At least I haven't. I am not a very patriotic person. But then neither are most
who claim to be. As Jill says they sometimes play it during commercials. But
it is still played. I have always seen it as an intrusion. Sort of like the Pledge
of Allegiance in school with everybody mumbling it as fast as possible to get
it over with.

It was never popular to question religion in those days, especially when
you are in an are with a dominant one. It was even worse before that.
In the good old days you could face very serious consequences for daring
to question the teachings of the church. Look at the bullshit Galileo
went through for daring to suggest that the Earth revolved around the
son. It was more than 350 years before the admitted they may have been

Back then, I was surrounded by believers, even if they rarely went to

I am the same. I am not a big sports fan flitting from one sport to the
other on the basis of season. I am mainly a fan of the NFL. Not just
the matchups but the way the league is organized and has some history
to it. But I am like you. I have watched a few super bowls with other
people while drunk, but that's back when I was drunk every day anyway.
I like to watch alone - to analyze and study with a little weed in me.

Your last comment is funny and transcends this group alone. I used to
go to a very busy comedy group - about 20 years ago - and to keep things
on the topic of comedy while drifting away from it they would ask stupid
questions of each other such as, "What's your favorite road song?", meaning
what song do they like most when they're traveling from gig to gig. Insane.
And when someone got sick or died the condolences would pour in one
after the other - the same basic words from all of them, some of them
saying the dead person was one of their best friends, followed by, "Does
anyone have his phone number?", or whatever. "Yep, he's my best friend.
Do I want his phone number? Not now, I'll wait till after he's dead, ok?"

I spent a year and 12 days in a reform school run by Catholic
Brothers and we said at least 20 prayers every day - when we
went to bed, when we got up, before and every every meal,
before and after every class, etc. And during easter season,
etc., they'd have us in church 4 times a day. The masses
were in Latin. In a way that was good, more distant and uninvolved.
Do you know what I mean about buzzing through the prayers
and pledges and so forth? It becomes a quick drone, just something
to get out of the way. Funny.

I know what you mean. I was in a Catholic reform school. No talking, ever,
unless told, usually with a loud clap followed by some kind of sign with the
hands to tell us what to do. The hand going round and round meant "activity",
move around, don't just stand still. Five fingers meant "take five" and meant
we could smoke and talk. If it was just talking and no smoking the loud clap
would be followed by fingers going up and down with the thumb below denoting
"Talk."

I never challenged these people. I am glad I went there (now). But most got
nothing out of it. Some came from homes as bad or worse than the Pro (protectory).
But one day in some class we were asked to write why we believe in God and I just
couldn't hold it back. I did it in such a way as to not piss anybody off. I asked, "What
if someone doesn't believe in God?", and he paused a moment and stared at me before
saying, "Just write it." That was a mild rebuke. There was some pretty brutal punishments
in that place. Anyway, I thought it was funny to be asked to say why I believe in something
I don't believe in in the first place. But I didn't take it any further. Some of those Brothers
were alright. They were stern and by the book, but I never saw any out and out sadism
from any of them.

No argument there. I have no organized religion and tend toward
atheism but believe that everyone alive is an agnostic at heart. But
it's funny, even though I used to ridicule organized religions and am
still capable of doing so, I tend to have more respect for the strict
religions, the ones that don't bend so easily. They are needed. The
staunchness is needed or they will fade. They will make concessions
from time to time to keep members in the flock, but overall they are
slow to change - and there is a part of me that understands and even
respects that because I think change should not come easy, ever.

I believe you when you say you are an atheist, but tend to see
belief or lack or it as something on a scale, trending one way
or the other but never all the way. I believe everyone is an
agnostic no matter what they call themselves. They may lean
strongly toward belief or lack or it but never all the way. I tend
toward atheism myself. At the same time I have met some
oddballs in my time as I'm sure you have as well - people who
get so extreme with their atheistic beliefs that it becomes a
religion of it's own, sometimes the only thing they can ever
talk about. Ever meet that type?

In reactionary mode once again, I see. Let the other person do all the
talking, then pop in to comment on it, usually in a negative or challenging
way. It doesn't matter what the super bowl is. He was predicting a slew
of "What are you cooking for the super bowls" soon to come to the
newsgroup as the annual sporting event draws closer. He is right. He
sees it. Very 'follow the leader', the whole thing - "What are you having
cooking for the super bowl?", just to give themselves a chance to open
the door to something beyond food like maybe the game itself or a
headline in the paper about a guy killing his drinking buddy over a
$2.00 super bowl bet.

At least they're getting paid for it. It's a step up from
the gladiator days, isn't it? We are moving forward.
Progressing. One day there will be no TV channels.
No DVDs. You just stare at the screen and whatever
you want to see pops up at will. And it's harmless.
If you get off on snuff films, for example, they are
supplied - and are as realistic as possible, yet there
are no actual humans involved, it's all CGI (vastly
improved over the crap they've got now), and the
streets are safe as everyone is at home jerking off,
doing it their own way, paul anka style.

I doubt it. For some reason, people just won't hire him, or if they
do, they fire him very quickly.

Simply put, I find the prospect of "defense against indoctrination", by
using alternate indoctrination, to be amusing, at best.

Depends. At what skill level? Dishwasher? Burger flipper? Certainly
an auto tech, bookkeeper, fork lift operator. IMO, $15 is pretty much
the minimum but survivable for someone with no ambition do do better.
It is a few pennies more than the Australian $21.38 minimum.Better than
German 12 Euro.

Jobs where you get paid by the hour are temp jobs, right? Or casual
jobs, or whatever that's called. I'm talking about jobs where you're
employed by the company, where you're on their payroll. In Germany
that minimum wage is 1584 euros per month. That's 1710 US dollars per
month.

Kuthe isn't starting a family.

He applied for a job at the semen donor clinic but
didn't get up in time for the interview.

I'm not talking about Mr. Kuthe. He's your obsession, not mine. I'm talking about the United States and how people think that $15/hour is cool. The US is rapidly becoming a nation of slaves.
