pip pip and a ooooohhra and GA for you!

I wish more Americans understood the founding fathers reasoning. Less government, more efficiency for those elected and no i don't want to pay for Sally's abortion. Let me decide who I would like to donate my hard earned money too instead of a bunch of well saying liberal Dummycrats stealing right out of my wallet.

But really as you can see I have no strong opinions here.

Yeah. Don't hold back, now. Tell us how you really feel.

And, yep, I am clinging to my guns, AND my Bible. But not in any backwater part of the USA. And not in bitterness. I'm thankful to BE an a American, because flawed as our system is, its still the best in the world. And what's broke about it can still be fixed.

With apologies to you in other countries, who, rightly, might like yours better. This is MY opinion, in my little text box. You can have the next one. Have fun with it.

Again a good answer. BTW Placerville (Hang Town) is the last of the conservative California hold outs. I left the bay to be here (my wife will not move out of this yucky state from the kids) digging in clinging to my guns and Bible as well.

It is hard work to be a conservative in a state full of bleeding liberals. Funny my friend from Oklahoma made a great observation a few years back when that Idiot Gavin Newsom allowed same sex marriage in San Francisco......the same week over 1000 fires broke out in the state.....he called me and said "is that God's Wrath for the same sex marriage thing"........hummmm it just could be.

Soccer Moms and Dads, politically correct.....oh my don't speak your mind or love this country. I don't mean to offend anyone I just have an opinion that this country is great but has taken a turn into a dark alley heading towards Socialism.

Semperfi!

Just sayin from one Hang Towner to an old Hang Towner.

Actually pretty liberal from where I sit. the valley & this county [mariposa] are far more conservative than El Dorado county

The crack about gay marriage shows a high level of intolerance & is the opposite of liberty & freedom,

which is once again a diversionary tactic to help keep the military industrial complex in power

Money is not free speech

Compared to Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties where we lived before moving up here, makes El Dorado county look like a gun slinging back woods world. Mariposa is beautiful country as well.

Bottom Line "Least Likely to Happen"......everything I have said and all my opinions are least likely to happen because most of this country are just happier being sheep and not getting out of the herding line.

Are you trying to prove that religion = bigotry? If so, you are quite successful.

I would disagree. Bigotry no, Biblical yes. None the less it is a personal choice who you want to schlep with, however it is unnatural to have same sex union just simply by the design of humans. Parts and pieces of humans are meant to fit together freely not forced to make the puzzle complete.

And besides Women smell much better than men.

God made them prettier, too!!

Semper Fi? Sister Service. I was Navy, 9 years. Liked it, but my system went shipboard, and I was too senior for the Navy to suddenly shove me shipboard, and ask the young studs I'd be in charge of to lead me to my chow and my bunk. So, time's up, I'm out. But good to know I wasn't the only one who went of my own accord, instead of being dragged, kicking and screaming.

Agreed. It is very hard most everywhere to be conservative, now days. Too many too willing to bend over and get it stuck in, so that they don't offend those doing the sticking. Bah, humbug.

Still the best country in the world, bar none. And I'm still glad to be here. Just sad for the way it keeps going.

I think you should give the 'sit-on-the fence' folk some credit. At least make it an offence like the Oz do.

not true.

It is. But the OP did say "Least likely to happen". So, Chris, you fulfilled the thought already.

I suspect he, and I, both, believe this is an unlikely event.

yes I'm sorry.. me too. I was just reacting to the thought, before I had my coffee and remembered where I was..

Hey, my optimism gets me into it all the time. I had to check twice to see "least likely to happen" before I could answer that. As it happens, I wish it were more likely, being convinced as I am that he is right. But I know it ain't gonna happen, and I served in our military so we'd BOTH have the right to our beliefs. So, while I will offer to show you what the Bible says on the subject, elsewhere than here, I will allow, without rancor, that if you don't want to hear it, you don't have to.

I have the right to speak, as do you. You have the right to ignore me, as I do you. And it seems our country works out OK that way. Unlike some places where certain factions seem to think its necessary to kill those who disagree. Disagreeable buggers, those are.

I'm glad you and I aren't among them.

Well it certainly aint Joseph Smith!

Elected politicians will decide to live like us "small people" do.

Pump they're won gasoline, drive themselves from one place to another, go to the grocery and purchase needed items, do they're own laundry, fret when they receive a $400 heating bill, wonder where they will come up with a down payment for that new car to replace the one with 300,000 miles on it with rusted out floor pans.

And lastly......drum roll please............Polititians will decide to retire from their position with he SAME social security/pension benefits as us "small people" rather than the golden parachutes provided on the backs of us "small people".

• The Bath Breaking Thread receives no new responses
• Del stops posting
• LynDoor Industries Inc. goes bust

Any more?

Like Nixon many world leaders to be prosecuted

Don't make that "least likely"! We can at least have hope!!

My hair will all grow back and my elbows will stop being sore.
Beautiful young brunettes will rub up against me in the supermarket checkout queue.
My arrows will always hit what I'm aiming at.
Del

Del, are you blaming yourslef for being cupid?

1. Health care bill is finally passed, with actual little cost to tax payers as originally stated.

2. All the current health care providers turn down their opt out of the new health care bill option out card.

3. Cars drive them selves from location to location allowing me to sleep on the way to work.

4. Cars will drive them selves reducing the amount of deaths due to drunk drivers.

5. Del tells an unfunny joke.

6. The Stedou 2012 end of the world survival kit makes me a millionaire.

7. Look I stuck to the seven line items........

..welcome to Johnny Cab.....

While that is nice for Johnny, it is still a dedicated rail system not on the street.

This tea bugger stands for lapsang souchong. (Try it, ye hearties!)

I thought that was Russian Black Tea.

Or what you do to a Vitim after a kill in HALO....stand over them and well offer them a tea bag.

George Bush and Tony Blair punished by ICJ/World Court

For what?

I guess for standing up for our country's and saying we're not going to take your crap.

Oh Canada, lest we forget. Until the deaths of Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan , probably almost no one outside their home country had been aware that Canadian troops are deployed in the region. And as always, Canada will bury its dead, just as the rest of the world, as always will forget its sacrifice, just as it always forgets nearly everything Canada ever does..

It seems that Canada 's historic mission is to come to the selfless aid both of its friends and of complete strangers, and then, once the crisis is over, to be well and truly ignored. Canada is the perpetual wallflower that stands on the edge of the hall, waiting for someone to come and ask her for a dance. A fire breaks out, she risks life and limb to rescue her fellow dance-goers, and suffers serious injuries. But when the hall is repaired and the dancing resumes, there is Canada, the wallflower still, while those she once helped glamorously cavort across the floor, blithely neglecting her yet again.

That is the price Canada pays for sharing the North American continent with the United States , and for being a selfless friend of the British Isles in two global conflicts. For much of the 20th century, Canada was torn in two different directions: It seemed to be a part of the old world, yet had an address in the new one, and that divided identity ensured that it never fully got the gratitude it deserved. Yet it's purely voluntary contribution to the cause of freedom in two world wars was perhaps the greatest of any democracy.

Almost 10% of Canada's entire population of seven million people served in the armed forces during the First World War, and nearly 60,000 died. The great Allied victories of 1918 were spearheaded by Canadian troops, perhaps the most capable soldiers in the war.

Canada was repaid for its enormous sacrifice by downright neglect, it's unique contribution to victory being absorbed into the popular memory as somehow or other the work of the 'allies' The Second World War provided a re-run. The Canadian navy began the war with a half dozen vessels, and ended up policing nearly half of the Atlantic against U-boat attack. More than 120 Canadian warships participated in the Normandy landings, during which 15,000 Canadian soldiers went ashore on D-Day alone.

Canada finished the war with the third-largest navy and the fourth largest air force in the world. The world thanked Canada with the same sublime indifference as it had the previous time. Canadian participation in the war was acknowledged in film only if it was necessary to give an American actor a part in a campaign in which the United States had clearly not participated - a touching scrupulousness which, of course, Hollywood has since abandoned, as it has any notion of a separate Canadian identity. So it is a general rule that actors and filmmakers arriving in Hollywood keep their nationality - unless, that is, they are Canadian.

Thus Mary Pickford, Walter Huston, Donald Sutherland, Michael J. Fox, William Shatner, Norman Jewison, David Cronenberg, Alex Trebek, Art Linkletter, Mike Weir and Dan Aykroyd have in the popular perception become American. It is as if, in the very act of becoming famous, a Canadian ceases to be Canadian, unless she is Margaret Atwood, who is as unshakably Canadian as a moose, or Celine Dion, for whom Canada has proved quite unable to find any takers. Moreover, Canada is every bit as querulously alert to the achievements of its sons and daughters as the rest of the world is completely unaware of them.

The Canadians proudly say of themselves - and are unheard by anyone else - that 1% of the world's population has provided 10% of the world's peacekeeping forces. Canadian soldiers in the past half century have been the greatest peacekeepers on Earth - in 39 missions on UN mandates, and six on non-UN peacekeeping duties, from Vietnam to East Timor, from Sinai to Bosnia.

Yet the only foreign engagement that has entered the popular non-Canadian imagination was the sorry affair in Somalia , in which out-of-control paratroopers murdered two Somali infiltrators. Their regiment was then disbanded in disgrace - a uniquely Canadian act of self-abasement for which, naturally, the Canadians received no international credit.

So who today in the United States knows about the stoic and selfless friendship its northern neighbor has given it in Afghanistan ? Rather like Cyrano de Bergerac , Canada repeatedly does honorable things for honorable motives, but instead of being thanked for it, it remains something of a figure of fun. It is the Canadian way, for which Canadians should be proud, yet such honor comes at a high cost. This past year more grieving Canadian families knew that cost all too tragically well. Lest we forget. With Paragraphs :D

Thanks for this B...

My wife will arrive at the car less than 3 minutes after me when we are going somewhere together.

"What is Least Likely to Happen in 2011?"

I think it is least likely that some members wont sign in as guest and b!tch, moan and groan because they are embarrassed to stand up for what they believe in and reveal their identity.

Yes Like me!!!!

Launch of a product called the iTurd?

Why not? We need downstream tracking of metabolic byproducts. Pease see the companion thread on household sewage energy recovery.

Media and politics will be transparent.

Kids will pull their pants up and get a job.

I guess they would only accept to work if it was a requisite to keep their pants at the middle of their ass.

Yahlasit

You are probably rite but it would be hard to work with one hand holding your pants up.

GA, and, another answer for the OP.

"Kids will realize that wearing their pants halfway up is the stupidest fashion ever invented."

Yes it's awful!

And this too

And this

You have definitely made my day. I will forward this video to all plumbers that I know!

"Kids will realize that wearing their pants halfway up is the stupidest fashion ever invented."

This fashion will be continued by law, as entire ecosystems, containing rare and endangered species are using the oversized pants and large openings for new habitats.

Either that, or the homeless that live in there, manage to have the area inside this stupid pants fashion declared a independent nation.

The final thing is that all goverments insist on passing laws to maintain this fashion, as people are so busy laughing at these twits trying to do any thing with one hand holding up that denim sack, while trying to walk about with the crotch just above the knee's, that they will not notice any thing else that is going on.

1) Hell will freeze over

2) Pigs will fly

Actually Hell Freezes every year! Its a small town located in Michigan. As far as the pigs........
