EXCUSE ME....ignorant minority???
May I remind you that Roe V Wade was the product of a handful of activist judges?? ANYwhere wholesale abortion has been on a ticket for all of US out here to vote on, it was defeated. They tried first to make it a "state" issue, and it was voted down. So activist judges overturned the will of the people and now we have abortion on demand. So PLEASE do not insinuate that the majority of people would vote FOR abortion, because you are VERY MUCH mistaken.
In the minority
My parents have 20 acres in the middle of nowhere with a few other houses scattered on their hill. They leave doors unlocked as the norm. Not unusual for them to come home and find one of their horses on their back porch. The "good ole days" still exist in some places!
Okay, I am in the minority here, that is okay, it was JMO.
The clip was short, not the entire performance. I guess I should not be so quick to judge. Shame on me.
Other woman was 'WAY out of line. sm
She's the head-case. She's teaching her children disrespect for animals, for other people, and, eventually, for her, as well. Keep on feeding the birds, at least YOUR kids will learn to enjoy and appreciate wildlife.
Yes, I spend 'way too much of my life in this - sm
chair! Good thing it's super-comfy! This is a really old house on a steep hill, and the whole house tilts a bit, so when I'm at my computer, everything leans leftwards!
This is my view from my computer desk, and why I have trouble concentrating on my monitor all day!
You did it PERFECT! That was 'way cool.
The poo-phobia cracked me up! And so does the mental image of blowing up stuffed animals at a shooting range. Instead of animals, though, I think I'd blow up the Michelin Man and the Pillsbury Doughboy. The only animal would be Snuggles the Bear from the toilet tissue commercial.
I guess I'm in the minority
Hardly anyone knocks at our house, especially relatives - including in-laws. Door's always open, you know where the fridge is, make yourself at home.
I love NYC, and I think everyone should go to see a B'way show at least once in their lives.
But if you're ever interested in doing a shorter, probably less expensive theater trip, don't forget about Philadelphia. Lots of Broadway shows come to Philly. The Lion King, Wicked, The Producers -- they've all been here. The casts can be different, but no less amazing. One of the best nights of my life was seeing Yul Bryner in the King and I in Philadelphia. Amazing! This past Saturday night I saw Michael York play King Arthur in Camelot with Rachel York was Gunavere. I just bought a subscription to the Walnut Street Theatre in Philly and will see Man of LA Mancha, Peter Pan, The Price, the Odd Couple and Les Mis next season, along with Amadeus at the Wilma Theatre.
No, it's not quite Broadway -- not the lights, not the hustle and bustle, not the exact casts. But, for a shorter trip for less money, a quick weekend without the kids perhaps, you can see amazing theatre in Philly, too. And when it comes to food and restaurants, Philadelphia has a well earned reputation as a foodie city.
Enjoy your time in NYC! If you're ever in Philly, drop me a line!
She was grateful, but our government sucks 'WAY too
Also, since a bonus is really a GIFT from the company, I think it should fall under "gift" status with the IRS, and not be subject to taxes, either.
I don't find him funny either, but I am in the minority SM
in my family. My husband and stepdaughter think he is hysterical. My daughter can take him or leave him. Only one agreeing with me is stepson.
The guy I really hate is the "Girls Gone Wild" jerk. Again, stepdaughter and daughter think girls are to blame for getting involved with that, whereas stepson and myself feel they are being exploited.
Right - he IS a minority in the group of kids he is around on a reg. basis (nm)

he is not a Minority; you don't use that word in front of him, right? Focus on his talents; tell

ignorant
I would definitely say something to him and his wife as well so that way she can know how ignorant he is as well. That is terrible to say that to a kid. They have to deal with enough growing up right now. They should have to deal with ignorant parents like that to!
Ugh how ignorant
This woman is so ignorant. What if a woman takes the Nazarite Vow? Hmmmm.. Well then she must shave her head at the end of the prescribed period. I don't know or care about her buy MY mothers in heaven don't have long hair. As for saying that MOST of the women in the world wear spiky heels? Well she's just proving her ignorance there. I would wager the majority of women in the world do NOT wear spiky high heels. I certainly don't because I'd fall off! And her remarks about makeup? I don't wear 5 layers of makeup either.
Oh and not to mention her comments about long hair are based in a verse in Bible from a letter from Paul to the Corinthians. NOT the word of God but the opinion of Paul so :P
That's kind of ignorant
That just shows that he really doesn't care all that much about how you feel or what you want. He seems to think that it's all about him. I would be furious if my husband pulled that kind of stuff! Mine is very good about that sort of thing, and he always asks or suggests and doesn't just say "this is what we're doing." I would be especially annoyed if he was planning a vacation with someone that I didn't even know!
I'm ignorant too, but I asked my son (sm)
Now this may not be your answer, but he said that most cameras don't print directly to a printer. You would have to connect the camera to your computer and then to the printer. He said that if there is the capability to print directly from camera to printer, you would need a USB port.
I just bought my daughter and my son's GF Sony digital cameras, but they just download onto computer and don't print; otherwise I'd ask one of them.
Hope someone can help you out better than I. Might want to call Best Buy (or similar). They might be able to help you too.
Good luck and happy picure-taking! :-)
that's an ignorant thing to say
what about the german shepherds or the chow-chows that attack people? pitbulls get blamed because they get put in the hands of BAD OWNERS. because of their reputation, bad people like to own them cause they think they are tough, therefore not properly caring or treating their pitbulls right, and therefore leading to the injuries you speak of.
Guess what, my dogs are aggressive dogs, one of them is a freaking jack russell/border collie mix and the other is an american bulldog (bulldog family not pit) and a boxer! for god's sake!
dont ONLY blame the pitbulls. it's pathetic how people do that. Any attack on a human from a pitbull is terrible, but they are not the only ones that do it!
You are ignorant about feed lots.
There are many large feed lots for horses that are fattened up and then sent to one of the 3 big slaughter houses in Texas to be sent off to Belgium, Japan, etc, in the form of steaks. I have myself rescued riding horses from auction by outbidding the killer buyers. There are bills pending that will outlaw this terrible thing, but the administration of Bush is against the bill and is supportive of the horse slaughter trade. I have known individuals over the years, being a horse owner and lover, that would buy horses and then fatten them up and resell them to kill buyers or to the slaughter house themselves. Many of these were horses that weren't fast enough on the track to make money, and also good riding horses, they were just worth more as meat. Go to any horse auction and you will see good horses going for slaughter just because that is who is the highest bidder. It is a heartbreaking experience.
and at the risk of sounding ignorant
isn't it true when one gets a vaccine, they are actually receiving some of the disease itself?....remembering back to smallpox vaccinations.......so are they going to vaccinate the girls by giving them a tad of cancer? Really, I hate sounding ignorant but.......
Personally I think the women of the USA, Texas right now especially, should BE SCREAMING THEIR HEADS OFF about this.............That Rick Perry dude - says he sees this vaccination no different than a polio vaccination.....HOW DARE THEY when they know not much about this new drug/vaccination.........remember all the new-ish drugs that have been recalled and lawsuits abound? Vioxx, Bextra, Accutane, hmmmmm....tons more......

I was taught to "always ignore the ignorant."
Unfortunately, I've run into people like that before, and I just ignore the comment, make nice chit-chat for a few minutes and "see you later alligator." At least, I demonstrated what my values are and did not degrade myself to their level. The main word here is "ignorant." There are so many people out there that are ignorant of their own manners, ignorant of other people's feelings, just tactless mules.
how ignorant to compare lice with neglect.
It's merely a case of misinformation or improper education to her family on how to treat the problem, in no way is lice infestation and lack of getting rid of them completely a sign of neglect.
Maybe this mom just plain doesn't understand how to get rid of them completely or perhaps there are other things going on in her life that this isn't getting dealt with properly. They need support not ridicule as some of the posters have said - obviously since you've been there you should know it isn't as easy as people think to get rid of them.
glad to hear this; t.v. hosts/reporters are ignorant; I would have told her so, on natl t.v.
