I wasn't asking to like it. I was saying it would have avoided confusion.
But again, you are just too violently angry to respond coherently.
Actually, I ALSO got a computer virus from
I had to do a deep virus scan and fix to get rid of the thing. It took up almost 4 hours of my time last Sunday and I was NOT a happy camper....especially since the link led me to MORE OF THE SAME tired junk that has been dominating this forum for months.
You put WAY too much importance on yourself and the only horse hockey around here these days is the lame law suits to nowhere you keep obsessing over. We are ALL waiting for the SC to deliver the final blow to this utter stupidity. What will be even more satisfying is the crow roast that inevitably you and you ilk will all have to endure.
Beware of new computer virus...sm
I got this email from a friend today and thought I would share it with you all.
*Emails with pictures of Osama Bin-Laden hanged are being sent, and the moment that you open these emails your computer will crash, and you will not be able to fix it!!!
This e-mail is being distributed through countries around the globe, but mainly in theUS and Israel.
Don't be inconsiderate; send this warning to whomever you know.
Confirmed at: http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/osama.asp
Origins: There are few headlines that would grab the attention of more computer users around the world than Osama bin Laden Captured, and that's exactly what whoever created this lure was counting on to snare unsuspecting victims who use Microsoft platforms.
Osama bin Laden Captured isn't a virus in itself; it's the text of a message that includes a link to a file called EXPLOIT.EXE. When a message recipient clicks on this link to view what he thinks are pictures of Osama bin Laden's capture, he can end up downloading an executable Trojan known as Backdoor-AZU, BKDR_LARSLP.A, Download. Trojan, TrojanProxy.Win32.Small.b,or Win32.Slarp.
Clicking the embedded link in the Osama bin Laden Captured message auto-executes a file called EXPLOIT.EXE, which exploits a known security hole to download the Trojan.
According to McAfee Security: The Trojan opens a random port on the victim's machine. It sends the Port information to a webpage at IP address 66.139.77.145. The Trojan listens on the open port for instructions and redirects traffic to other IP addresses.
Spammers and hackers can take advantage of compromised systems by using the infected computer as a middleman, allowing them to pass information through it and remain anonymous.*
No, the virus didn't come from this page - it came
link you type in takes you to. So typing it in would make no difference. There is a LOT of malware out there, and it comes in all shapes, forms, and disguises.
Yes. Computer virus happened
the birth certificate boobs would be "highly doubtful." I'm not trying to get anyone to believe anything. I'm simply stating fact. The virus occured IMMEDIATELY after following one of these lame BC links and yes, dear, it took nearly 4 hours to get rid of it. Only wish it were that easy to purge this board of all the ignorance that surrounds these paranoid BC delusions.
Musta caught the virus from "why-in-the-
.Pesky. Hard to get rid of.
I may have been mistaken.
It may have been someone else who said that about abortion and the Bible.
You are mistaken. sm
First, it was definitely NOT Planned Parenthood they were talking about. (PP was never even mentioned in the story). Whatever clinic it was, it was where the girl in the story was going to get prenatal care.
As I said, the story was about the very high number of premature births and the subsequent deaths of those premature babies in those poorer areas. You would know that if you'd watched the story instead of just making assumptions and jumping to (incorrect) conclusions.
Second, I made an error in what I wrote in my other post. I wrote this:
>>It showed how the closest clinic is only open during the day (and only 1/2 day on *Sat.*, to cut costs). No evening or weekend hours>>
When I should have written this:
>>It showed how the closest clinic is only open during the day (and only 1/2 day on *FRIDAY,* to cut costs). No evening or weekend hours>>
So that was my mistake and I'm sorry for the confusion. But when you looked up the hours for PP in the greater Memphis area, you should have seen that PP *is* open on the weekend on Saturday. That contradicts your theory so I don't know why you assumed it was Planned Parenthood in the first place.
So there goes your "economics 101" theory that PP restricts access to birth control so they can make money on abortions. So very untrue. Birth control is a huge part of what PP does. Huge. To imply otherwise is ludicrous. Slanderous, really. (Well, actually I guess that would be libelous, wouldn't it?) But I'm sure they're used to such nonsense.
Oh, and I didn't see anything about "cash only" for abortions, and I looked on the PP website for Memphis. All I saw is that the price for any of their services is based on your income and what you can afford. My *guess* is that they would ask for cash for that procedure (if they do) precisely because it is a medical procedure (not interested in debating you on that, BTW) so it's probably the most expensive service they provide, hence it would cause them to lose the most money if they didn't get payment for it. And again, I'm just guessing about that. And of course you've completely ignored all of the other health services they provide for woman because that doesn't fit in with your theory either.
Oh, one other thing. As far as how much money they make, now you're an expert on what it costs to run a PP clinic? Please.
For one thing, I imagine they have to spend a ton on security and cameras, seeing as how they have to worry about being bombed or shot. There is THAT.
You seem to have mistaken m for someone else.....sm
She is not like that at all.
If I'm not mistaken...
I think it was George Washington who began the "Mr." tradition by his own preference.
No, Lurker, you are mistaken. sm
by *beyond you* I meant it was in God's hands, not yours. I am done talking to you about it. You are determined to be offended no matter what I say. I have never quoted scripture or even interpreted it except to say that God will be the judge and that matter is between President Bush and God. Walking the walk and talking the talk....well, I don't know what you mean by that. Another insult I suppose, but since you don't know me, that would be hard for you to *judge* but maybe not, since you seem fond of judging. As far as mistakes, well, I don't really know what you mean by that either. Mistakes like drinking alcohol at one time? Mistakes like stepping on an ant? Mistakes like spending too much? Hardly offenses to keep him out of heaven. You have added many insults in your post. I am glad I did not stoop to that level.
Mistaken identity, for sure
Thanks! I saw no point in defending that accusation. I've only posted on this board for the last month or so, and not all that much, either. But Observer's name shows at almost the end of every thread, having the last word. And you don't have to read those posts to make an educated guess they're argumentative.
You seem to be under the mistaken impression that...
Rebubliclans agreed with every little thing Bush did. Did you not notice how many Republicans were up in arms about the first bank bailouts? I did not want that to happen and I surely did not want to continue this mess, but here we are...
Excuse me, but you are mistaken.
(...which is a "dot-gov" site, incidentally)...
You have fallen into the confusion mentioned here in this quote from the FR website FAQ:
"WHO OWNS THE FEDERAL RESERVE?
The Federal Reserve System is not "owned" by anyone and is NOT a private, profit-making institution. Instead, it is an independent entity WITHIN THE GOVERNMENT, having both public purposes and private aspects.
As the nation's central bank, the Federal Reserve derives its authority from the U.S. Congress. It is considered an independent central bank because its decisions do not have to be ratified by the President or anyone else in the executive or legislative branch of government, it does not receive funding appropriated by Congress, and the terms of the members of the Board of Governors span multiple presidential and congressional terms. However, the Federal Reserve is subject to oversight by Congress, which periodically reviews its activities and can alter its responsibilities by statute. Also, the Federal Reserve must work within the framework of the overall objectives of economic and financial policy established by the government. Therefore, the Federal Reserve can be more accurately described as "independent within the government."
The twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks, which were established by Congress as the operating arms of the nation's central banking system, are organized much like private corporations--possibly leading to some confusion about 'ownership'. For example, the Reserve Banks issue shares of stock to member banks. However, owning Reserve Bank stock is quite different from owning stock in a private company. The Reserve Banks are not operated for profit, and ownership of a certain amount of stock is, by law, a condition of membership in the System. The stock may not be sold, traded, or pledged as security for a loan; dividends are, by law, 6 percent per year.'
