It's sad that they are so predictable, isn't it? And there's hypocrisy all around, it seems.<BR/>Oh,and I wear safety glasses when I'm on the torch soldering or fabricating silver stuff, and I wear didymidium-coated safety glasses to protect my retinas when I'm making beads on the torch.phlegmfatalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636803080525003892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-1161118007924384032006-10-17T15:46:00.000-05:002006-10-17T15:46:00.000-05:00Annnddd, do you wear a funky welder face mask when...Annnddd, do you wear a funky welder face mask when you work?Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-1161113061940004292006-10-17T14:24:00.000-05:002006-10-17T14:24:00.000-05:00It's all about power - Oprah always said it's not ...It's all about power - Oprah always said it's not the sex, and what a job you want if you want power?<BR/><BR/>Over here, the leader of teh now-defunct Christian Coalition is jailed for raping a 6-year-old (if memory serves me, w hich it doesn't often) but he's still emailing his former party faithfuls that "it was consensual". And he's tampered with heaps more girls. The leader of the National Party (roughly Republicans) uses the fact the Prime Minister (leader of Labour Party, roughly the Democrats) has been legally married but have not kids, to say the Prime Minister is anti-mariiage and her husband is gay, but he (of the National Party) was caught the second time having an affair - he left his first wife for the current one. I'd like to know what the religious right who backed him with millions last election think now - though that kind of hypocracy doesn't even embarass the Right, it seems. <BR/><BR/>I'm interested in what Zelda said, about the Democrats blocking these legislations. In the end, it goes back to power, rather than the party, then?Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-1161061143594847772006-10-16T23:59:00.000-05:002006-10-16T23:59:00.000-05:00mushy - clearly, it does have addictive properties...mushy - clearly, it does have addictive properties - it's weird when people throw a career away over something as stupid and common as porn. Strange.<BR/><BR/>zelda - I'm with you - it's just the eye-watering double-standard that's blowing my mind. And here, people are setting off nukes and we're talking about lewd text messages? C'mon!<BR/><BR/>fathairybastard - I think it's not that the system corrupts so easily, but that people are looking for occasion to abandon all propriety. Yeah, it's like the "when did you stop beating your wife" question - it's all effed up.phlegmfatalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636803080525003892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-1161057298475183622006-10-16T22:54:00.000-05:002006-10-16T22:54:00.000-05:00It's as if the Republicans invented sin.

Even bringing up Studds and Kennedy is considered an obstruction. "Are you now or have you ever been...?" Still, a lot of the problems the Republicans are now having are of their own creation. They failed to differentiate themselves enough from the others when it comes to too many things. Sad. The system corrupts all who touch it.FHBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04261425729050948728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-1161042729239084662006-10-16T18:52:00.000-05:002006-10-16T18:52:00.000-05:00The weird thing is that I have no problem making w...The weird thing is that I have no problem making what Foley did illegal and having his ass prosecuted. Politicians are not elected to go whoring with pages/interns in any capacity. But oddly enough it is the Democrat party who is the more reluctant to pass that type of legislation. So all the Democrat handwringing and rending of garments seems disingenuous at best.Zeldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057183557031707514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-1161036001677453662006-10-16T17:00:00.000-05:002006-10-16T17:00:00.000-05:00Wise choice on not blogging at work.I used to work...Wise choice on not blogging at work.<BR/><BR/>I used to work, had a gov'ment job and all, and was a IT manager. I saw serveral people lose their jobs and some within 5 years of retirement over non-job related Internet use. The strangest involved IT personnel who knew "we" monitored their Internet visits. Sad.<BR/><BR/>'Couse most involved porn, but blogging would have been enough cause as well.fuzzbert_1999@yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08523386203834736598noreply@blogger.com
