      You're on CodeProject. The name has been mentioned, once or twice.

      That doesn't make sense to me.

      I had not expected the word "library" in there.

      It's a euphemism for "f@rt", in the UK, and with this being the soapbox...

      It happens a lot. You should travel more.

      Presidential libraries are a way of channelling billions of tax money into building "repositories" that become revenue streams for past presidents -- i.e. yet another way of stealing from the poor to feed the rich.

        True, happens a lot that something doesn't make sense to me. Travelling is expensive and time-consuming though.

        That makes more sense, yes. I was thinking about large buildings with books, and long lines of Americans in front of them :cool:

            I listened to most of his inaugural and I didn't really hear anything. What I mean is that I heard phrases like "we will rebuild America", "we will fight crime"(these are not direct quotes as I can't be bothered to go get any at the moment) - I was left thinking, what did he say and why was everyone cheering so much? That said - I don't think Clinton really said any more than that in her campaign. I just hope that the years of war that the US and Blighty, the US's pet poodle, have been involved in will come to an end so that tax payers' money can be invested into creating houses and jobs rather than destroying them in far off lands.

              You Liberals really should get your stories straight. I seem to recall Liberals claiming that George W. Bush was the first severely retarded President, and before him - it was Ronald Reagan. Could it possibly be that Liberals are so unaccepting of diversity as to believe that anyone who is not one of their anointed has to be "retarded"? Who'lda thunk it? :omg:

              If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

                But the other side of that coin is that if you don't understand women, then maybe they make sense!

                  Thanks for the explanation :) What do they do when you get a red card?

                  That means that you can't vote in the next match.

                      Or te enim sequere cum "I'm sorry", because it's the only safe move.
