ScarletRose: Speaking of taxes.  Ours will all be going up.  If we go the way of Sweden, it will be over 50%. 

I will be turning in for the evening and will let you all get back to bashing each other left and right.. with political views.. hehe.. I will go sit and stare at the stimulus package I got today and ponder how I will deal with it.. *giggle*

The Usurper: you might get a shock LOL.....they are probably fair skinned because they are too lazy to get off their backsides and go get a job LOL.....JK...before I get bounced on.....but yes the POMS do look funny when they come to australia and go to our beaches.....you can pickem a mile off.....snow white skins and not an ounce of tan and 9 times out of 10 no muscle, but having said that they wont get skin cancers and be a BLOT on the health system. heheheheh

The Usurper:You'll have to learn to say "ol chap" and get your teeth to protrude. 

Artful Dodger: I am doing some styling this weekend.. will also be filing our taxes.. wonder how much we will get back..

ScarletRose:Yeah, I have to install two fire detectors, do some practice on bass for Sunday, and veg.  ;)

Bernice: I am applying for British citizenship as we speak. Ahhh, those fair-skinned English ladies....

Ummm, I mean I will smoke & discuss politics with them. :o)

The Usurper: and you realize of course that if you belonged to (V) line of gentry you you would look far better in a smoking jacket .....

Bernice: Oh no, I didn't forget them. lol :o)

ScarletRose: Yes it did! You know I was being silly.... :o)

ScarletRose: hahaha...I had visions LOL.....I also have big screen but have it on a unit.....

The Usurper: you forgot the "bad, bad" women ...LOL

Bernice: That is a good point. But I am sinful creature. I must take pleasure in small things....smoke, coffee, and posting on politics boards.

Bernice: hahaha.. actually he is hanging it up on the wall.. just sounded funnier put the other way! :)

The Usurper: well when they instigate and put it into practice the new laws where you can't get health insurance I hope you don;t suffer for too long with emphasema(sp)

OK OK OK...I know it won't happen but you will be a burden on the health system....:(

Bernice: A primitive mating ritual?

Bernice: I have to smoke. It's the only way I can think up liberal ideas. lol :o)

ScarletRose: "mounting the television"....what is that?

Artful Dodger: Hey Dan! Are you getting set for the weekend? Earlier my hubby was mounting the Television... so I know he is getting set for the weekend.. not sure if I am ready for it.. the week went by quickly..

ScarletRose: :o) Your grand daddy had the better idea. And I learned from experience (in my younger days) not to mix 'those' two kinds of tobacco in one pipe.

Bernice:I quite smoking too and now I just fart. 

I need a smoke.

Ahhhh....better. Where were we?

Bernice: April 4th of 2005.. last time I had a smoke and I don't miss it!

The Usurper:  Aaww a richly named tobacco..  My grand daddy used to smoke a pipe.. my 1st husband used to as well.. at times.. although, it wasn't tobacco he put in his.. :/

The Usurper: ewwwwwwwwwwwwww filthy habit.

we gave it up didnt we Scarlet......6 years nearly for me and you would be just about 5 years wouldnt you?

ScarletRose: I smoke "1Q" from Lane Limited. It goes by all different kinds of names in tobacco shops....I've seen it called Gold Dust & Golden Slipper in Georgia, Stardust in Alaska, etc. It's fairly mild compared to many tobaccos.

The Usurper: Kewlness.. and what brand and flavor do you smoke?

ScarletRose: Ok, I'll send you mine. You'll notice a stud at the window smoking a pipe. :o)

The Usurper:   UUmmummm anyones address will work.. I like looking at everyone else's house! LOL

Artful Dodger: Thanks. Ok, I should warn you I've had a lot of practice with this weapon in video games. Many a foe have I slain!

The political context is...uh...maybe Scarlet will explain it to us. lol

The Usurper:

Artful Dodger: Ummm...the code didn't work. (gulp) Can I borrow your sword?

Artful Dodger: LOL. Ok, take that *84* and that *84* !

ScarletRose: Ummmm....my address or Czuch's? Or both? Or neither? lol

I know.. tell me your address and I will look it up on google map in the street mode.. *grinz*

Artful Dodger: :o)

Looks like it's getting personal again.  ummmmm, let's stick to the issues ;)

Czuch:didnt obama just say,"we'll all have to give some skin on this one"?
wheres all the democrats that worked so dilegently to pass a 1100 page bill that no one read??overseas,at our expense. whos skin is going to have to be used?? lol
if any of these people are re-elected...I want to leave the country!

Czuch: This is one little girl who wouldn't mind squaring off with you, face-to-face. We're about the same age. Just be sure to bring your life savings...

Bully-types are the same everywhere. They kick the weak, and presume kindness to be weakness. Inwardly they are cowards, as I've learned time & time again.

Its so funny how Usurper and other liberal types love to fight for the government to give away all my money.... but try to tell them that they have to give something in return IE stay healthy, or stay off drugs, and have testing to prove it.... they run like the little girls they are...

Czuch:

The Usurper: If you would promice to move out of this country, I would send you my life savings...

Artful Dodger:

--Madeline Albright has acknowledged the fact that 500,000 children have died as a direct result of U.S. bombings and sanctions. She stated, during a television interview with Barbara Walters, in reference to the half a million dead Iraqi children that, "It's a tough price to pay, but we think it's worth it". That's really nice to hear. We think it's worth it. We think it is worth it to kill 500,000 children who have nothing to do with the crimes of Saddam Hussein. Deliberately inflicting on a group, conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction is the legal definition of genocide. Madeline Albright has publicly stated that this is what the United States is doing.--

This is also why I am not a Democrat. Bush's foreign policy is a more direct approach to genocide, but little more effective for all that. What Dems fail to recognize is that the politicians in America act out a Good-Guy/Bad-Guy farce for the people while in reality they have the same murderous agenda & work for the same murderers. Now Obama is picking up right where Bush left off.

The U.S. Government strips our liberties at home.

Btw, the hunt for "terrorists" today is like the hunt for "witches" in the Middle Ages. And the hunters today are the modern Inquisitors. Like those of old, they always ensure that the real criminals go free. :o)
