There is nothing attractive about that chick (if its even a she) at all. Without the boob job, she's a skinny, bony, body-less chick with an ugly face.

False.

I found it interesting to read that journalist or author of this article had made it a point highlight the fact that after three different people had recommeded to buy stock in Google, Inc.....that the same people making those recommendations did not own any stock themselves.

Pretty cool.

Well it didn't take long for the classic Hitler clip to explain how much he hates health care passing.

They have to disclose if they own any to dispel the appearance of a conflict of interest.

Oh, I was not aware of that Sus...thanks. I am now a better person for knowing that.

*It still seems funny to me.

Interviewer: "So, would you recommend owning shares in Google, Inc.?"

Interviewee: "Definitely. If you have the opportunity to invest in a company like Google, Inc., you would be better off than finding your own gold mine"

Interviewer: "How many shares of Google, Inc. stock do you own?"

Interviewee: "Absolutely none. You crazy? I ain't taking any chances with my money. I work hard for this shtein"

well with something like that, when other people buying shares directly influences the price of the stock that you own, that would be pretty unethical.  and it pretty much makes their opinion on the stock worth nothing more than an attempt at manipulating the price for their own personal gain.

Three high school kids just tried to cut through my property and find a hole in my fence to ride their bikes through. I went around back and asked if I could help them with anything and two were contrite and apologized. The other one copped an attitude for disrespecting them. The kicker is that I don't really care if they cut through my yard as long as they ask and my other neighbors don't care, but I wasn't exactly inclined to talk rationally with them once their little friend got going.

I remember having all of that testosterone and anger in me all the time as a teenager but damn if it doesn't seem farging pointless and potentially dangerous in retrospect. I live in the gun-toting south for christ sake. If one of these kids comes across a gun-happy, angry white dude with a chip on his shoulder rather than a manners-conscious, annoyed white dude with beer in his face they can get themselves into a world of trouble.

you should have thrown a bottle of bourbon at them, then set them onfire with your cigar

[Susquehanna Birder]

Funny that they were on your property, screwing with your fence, and the kid is worried about you disrespecting him.

Perspective is not something I think this kid has. Just a hunch.

Next time, it's on.

Yell "Hes coming right for us!" then pull the trigger.

When I was in junior high the bus stop was really far from my house, always cut through some yards of the neighbors we knew, especially in winter. One guy yelled at us saying that we could do it any time but winter because he hated footprints in the snow in his yard.

That happened here in Texas a few months ago (shocking, I know). Some people were riding ATV's on a rural property and they got blasted with a shotgun.

And quit dissin' the kids, Rusty. Its all aboot respect these days, eh.
