    Stan Shannon wrote: And, no, lack of regulation is not the problem - all we need is a single standard of common law that everyone, rich and poor alike, can be held accountable to by a government that is just big enough to do so - but no bigger. Our current fiscal problems were created by too much government involvment and not too little. Really. So the republican guys who's job it was to do that were wrong when the testified to congress after all the banks collapsed? You are so full of shit it's amazing. Fact's dude, facts. You have none on your side any longer so you resort to the old sky is falling hysterics coupled with misinformation or lets just call it what it is, lying. Liberalism does and has worked in many places in the world which of course you are completely aware of so this is just more of your garbage and evidence of how you are incapable of civil conversation. Because lying just doesn't make it civil dude, period. To you it's a pejorative because of all the reasons I already posted. You believe yourself a superior race chosen by god for exclusive elitism. Pretty much the exact opposite of the teachings of Jesus, but he will sort you out himself in the end yes? The economy folded because the bush administration let the white superior rich people kill it with their greed. The recovery is non existent because the budget is totally out of line due to the massive spending in two wars we never should have been in. George Bush, worst president ever. he came into office with a sweet set up of policies that built the massive surplus he inherited as president. First thing he did was eliminate all those policies and start paying billions of dollars for two wars we had no business in. several years later the economy collapsed under the weight of a failed REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION. You want to talk history, there it is, plain and simple and on the books. It's real, not imagined. Facts dude, facts. And by the way, the muslim world is the most socially conservative and has been for like ever. All of them have to migrate to liberal parts of the world to improve their lives. All of these things you know, but chose to ignore or lye about them because they contradict your preconceived view where white christians are the dominant superior race/religion. Just so you know, I am a white christian but don't believe myself superior to non white / non christians. I do however feel superior to hysterical dogmatic intolerant people such as yours

    Again... Buzzwords that don't actually mean anything. Telling people to think differently is meaningless, as any decent programmer is going to look at a new problem from as many different directions as possible, and choose the one that works best. Programmers, like other engineers, are always looking for better ways to do things, so you're not actually contributing unless you actually suggest a new technique. All you're doing is suggesting that we explore new methods, which we're already doing. Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

    The Italian was a dodgy looking pasta and one pizza, the Chinese was a bit ropey, the Thai OK and the Indian superb. Also the starters were excellent. I didn't eat again until half six the next evening, and then only a sandwich and felt full again. I will definitely make a return visit.

    Nevertheless, a good one! 5+ I still think it is a good idea, as Joan already pointed out, not to spoil your joke by posting the punch line as the subject line. Cheers!
