Let us not forget the Americans at Columbine and Oklahoma City.

In Reply to: i disagree somewhat. i don't think this particular issue needs to become a race thing, but sm - tired of violence
Definitely cannot turn this into a race thing. You can't always tell who will do what and this guy had been in our country legally for quite some time.

On the Oklahoma City page...
Garage Sale is listed in the For Sale column, on the right hand side just after Games and Toys (see link). What city are you trying to list under?
Astilbe, bleeding heart and columbine
are a few more.
Remember that some hostas are huge - 2 or 3 of the big size will soon be all your tub could hold, so look for the little ones. When shade gardening, I always like to choose some bright greens or plenty of varigation, and there are plenty of hostas like that. Japanese ferns are colorful, also.
Have fun. I know I'd overload a tub. I have no self-control with plants.
I like them better than most Americans.

not *all* - not the Native Americans....
and should be tolerant.....our ancestors wanted tolerance too (and not all received tolerance and for decades, eh?).....
we should all have taken many lessons from history.....and be more tolerant.
just my nickel's worth...
ya know if all Americans were rude like you, they
dense because you don't know how to get over your rude-sounding self
here, let me help............. 
and NOT all who came were legal - Ellis Island or no Ellis Island......sheesh - talk about dense......
Wish we could all unite as Americans.

Because Americans want a quick fix
>>I don't understand why people will take a med if its something that will run its course and your body will take care of.
They don't want to suffer with ANYTHING - illness or otherwise. It's all about instant gratification. Fix me now, with the least amount of effort on my part. A pill for weightloss, a pill for depression - suck out my fat. How many people take drugs for diabetes or high blood pressure or cholesterol - when diet and exercise would fix the problem? I understand that not everyone with those problems can be fixed without medication - but many, many could be.
Why is it that when Americans think of Europe,
they usually only think of
France
Britain
Italy
followed by Germany?
The EU has 27 member states.
Americans are ______
Fill in the blank.
Ummm... Americans can also be Muslim, or are you
x
meant-if all americans were rude like you....
I know so many foreigners - some legal, some not legal - and NONE OF THEM - added all together - come off as rude as some posters here.........that's for sure.........and some of them work 5 jobs.......hence, why they're doing so well in this country.
Many American people won't *lower* themselves to do ANY menial type work - so all the illegals and some non-illegals will do anything to stay here...and no, they don't spend their time on bulletin boards online like some *white collar* workers seemingly always do.....
have a nice day/evening
Excuse me very much, but it is a know n fact that Americans
have the hardest time to learn foreign languages and if they learn, they speak it with a very strong accent.
If they were made in the US by Americans, I'd have no problem with it all, but sm
they aren't! If you are going to spend like that, put in the hands of AMERICAN manufacturers.
Yes, it is a word! A lot of Americans do not know the correct
grammar.
The correct grammar sounds wrong to them because they always use the wrong grammar.
This is correct (from a dictionary!!)
stu·pid (stôô'pĭd, styôô'-)
adj. stu·pid·er, stu·pid·est
Slow to learn or understand; obtuse.
Tending to make poor decisions or careless mistakes.
Marked by a lack of intelligence or care; foolish or careless: a stupid mistake.
Dazed, stunned, or stupefied.
Pointless; worthless: a stupid job.
n. A stupid or foolish person.
What would you say, probably
' more stupid? '
FYI that's WRONG, because only adjectives with 3 syllables get the comparative/superlative form with 'more' and 'most'.
Stupid, stupider, stupidest is right and you are ......!
Americans are such suckers for SCARE tactics
imposed on us daily by the corporate media.
That's not to say don't be concerned and vigilant - just not to cave everytime they decide to scare us with propaganda.
WHAT is the school supposed to DO about "it" anyway?
In MHO, call your lawyer NOW... he is teaching your children to be afraid, overreact, and believe every scare tactic that comes down the pike.
A lot of Americans move to Mexico for this very reason.(nm)

Im not talking about a check. Im talking about a positive administration working FOR Americans and
Not receiving a check each month to help us out is not what got us in this mess...
best city
Believe it or not, Cleveland, Ohio. I've lived all over the Midwest and East Coast and loved Chicago and Minneapolis, but the people in Cleveland were definitely the friendliest. Easy to make friends and cost of living was pretty decent. Also lots of fun night life and great museums.
Sex and the City is definitely up there at the top. nm

what city are you in? nm

Know the city well, you can get 1 of the
weekly hotels and live from there. I would not like this situation at all- if he has worked there for awhile, just making until May should not make that much difference. Had home right in Atlanta and sold year before last, moved further towards Rex.
So he's never even been TO the city before? sm
Just from what you've posted, it sounds like he is sorely underprepared to take this job. No sales experience and never been to NYC, but taking a job doing cold-call sales in the toughest city? YIKES.
NYC is great city, full of life and energy, but man you have to be prepared.
LOTS of info can be found online, of course; just start Googling. Everything from maps of the subway system, to where to park, etc. Travel guides at the bookstore can help.
Seriously, what kind of a company gives the new guy the Manhattan territory? And then gives no informational support? The whole story gives me a bad feeling. Hopefully I'm just missing details.
sex and the City
I know some of us are working tonight, like me, but have any of you seen the movie sex and the City tonight and how was it? I hope to see it this weekend between shifts.
Sex & the City, plus
1. Anything with Ben Stiller
2. Anything with Sarah Jessica Parker
3. Anything with Angelina Jolie
4. Anything with Madonna
5. Anything with Brad Pitt
New York City
Does anyone know if New York City is extremely crowded on Black Friday? I'm going on a bus trip that day to do some shopping. Just curious if it was as crowded that day as it was the week before Christmas.
I pay $85 in a big city, but she does spend 45 sm
minutes or so washing, cutting and styling may between chin and shoulder length hair. Five minutes is ridiculous. I don't see how they can even do a good job in that amount of time.
Yes, I know $85 is high (plus tip). I have just had so many hack jobs at less money that I got scared and went to a trendier place in the city.
Is that the one where the girl goes to the inner city...
to live with her dad after her mom dies and she gets involved with the black student and she auditions for Julliard?
OMG - I love sex and the city
Just heard online today it is confirmed, they are making a movie. Can't wait
But is that not rural and not city
taxes? I had some property in the country, 200 something compared to my city home of over 2,000.
Not in city limits
We're about 2 miles out of town. Of course the town is 8500 people. A well known town, but small, nonetheless. :-)
City in illinois
Its Oswego. Lived around here forever
City in Illinois
I was going to put this on the state board for Illinois, but I noticed that no one's posted there in months. The doctor is stating the patient worked at GE in s/l Owings, Illinois. I googled cities in Illinois for the correct spelling and I can't find anything even close. Any ideas?
I hate it too, even in my own city (sm)
I find that as I get older, it's not even a question of not seeing as well. It's almost more like disorientation,if it's an area I'm kind of familiar with, but not really. Like I will be not quite sure how much farther I have to go to the light and then when I get to the light, I'm not sure what cross street I'm at. Sound funky. Kind of hard to explain.
everything that is now gone, Sopranos, Sex and the City...
Love The Riches on FX. NetworkTV is too dumbed down, bad sitcoms (except 30 Rock and The Office, sometimes ok), bad dramas and overrated reality shows. And the soaps, fugetaboutit, UGH!
150 inhabitants? Is this really a city?...s/m
Are you the same person who posted this nasty reply to 'abc' on 11/16/08?
Now I can undertand that living in a VILLAGE (or BOX) with 150 people gives you a backward insight on a lot of issues.

Best City You've Ever Lived In
Milwaukee, WI... HANDS DOWN! Love the people, love the city, wish I could move back.
I've move a lot in my lfe- anyone else who has moved a lot who has a fave city?
Cambria is a city in Calif. nm

It's just a nickname the city was given back in the 40's by
writer & journalist Herb Caen. To reflect the multiculturalism and exotic character of San Francisco he coined the term Baghdad by the Bay, and often referred to San Francisco that way.
Albuquerque is a beautiful city
It is at the foothills of the mountains, so you have mountains and desert both. The cost of living is relatively low. And Santa Fe and Taos are very close, so there are all kinds of opportunities to learn about arts and culture. There are the mountains for hiking and camping. And Gallup and Zuni Pueblo are not too far away. Lots of Native American culture, including the yearly ceremonials in Gallup.
Sorry, I don't know about the schools, except that the University of New Mexico is there. That's where my husband and I are planning to retire. We love the area and have visited there many times.
That would be me (poster) and as a NY City person....
and I HATE that press 1 for English and have told many corporations that - it should say *if you'd like to speak Spanish press 1; Creole press 2, Russian press 3, Hebrew press 4, Portugese press 5 and on and on and on so that we cover everybody....but for us, 3rd, 4th generation Americans, we should NOT have to press 1 for English - GALLS ME!
I think in California, they do choose to isolate more themselves via their cultures.....I do not see this here in S. Florida any longer - it's much better today, I think, and JMO.....(no flames please *lol*)
Oh, and if it's NOT a melting pot, it sure should be - and we should strive to live side-by-side, accepting of others choices (religion or any other personal choice as long as it doesn't hurt anybody), and all try to get along in a nation full of different cultures, religions, colors, languages.....just my opinion again....
cowboys country or city
!!!
city. CNN or Comedy Central?

Does your city have a fine if you get caught?
Does your city have a fine if you get caught? I don't know about mine. I don't think there's one, but I could be wrong.
ALBANY, N.Y. -- The New York state Legislature has given final passage to a bill that would charge $250 for pet owners who don't pick up after their dogs in some parts of the state.
Dog owners currently have to pay $100 if they don't pick up the poop. The change would apply to the five boroughs of New York City, Albany and Yonkers.
The Assembly passed the bill Wednesday and the Senate had already passed it.
A spokesman for Gov. David Paterson said the governor will review the measure.
I'm in a large city and what you said is not true here.

We have a city ordinance about pit bulls
You have to provide proof of $100,000 insurance to have it; it cannot roam free; and anyone has the right to kill it if they feel they are under attack. If your pit is found running free, it is put down.
Pits do not have to be used for fighting to be aggressive. It is part of their nature - far more aggressive than other dogs.
Yes, I've had plenty of up close and personal experiences with pits that were friendly but that has nothing to do with their underlying aggressive nature.
Dangerous animal.
Fourth largest city in US
with strong sense of pride and community, economically sound, cutting edge medical facilities, greatest mayor ever, friendly folks, culture of all sorts and decidedly international in nature.
I am 50 years old, lived in 1 city until
I was 24, lived in another for 7 years, and now in current place for 19 years and have NEVER been called.
don't forget
 Rotel and chips - always at must at our gettogethers! Also the mini quiches are always a hit from Sam's.
Tell her to forget it.
It isn't her wedding. Plain and simple. Stick to what your son really wants not what he may be pressured in to.
Don't forget though
that while you can get outside help, a restraining order will not necessarily save you if the guy won't abide by it. I don't know anything about this woman or this case, but I'm just sayin.
