I got most of those logic problems in school, but I'm not sure about this one. :shrug:

29. that gives me an opening to talk about my ex
My exboyfriend now lives in Thailand. He moved there after I was in a horrible car accident. So now he helps with his friend's internet pharmacy, and still draws unemployment in California (somehow, I don't know).

The most amazing thing was, after the election he wrote me specifically to lecture me about how "Americans are so dumb". Mind you, he'd never been involved with politics, he's only pissed because apparently the people in the tourist area of Thailand where he lives "assumes" he voted for Bush.

Bah! As if I could get more angry with this guy.

Sorry, I had to get that off my chest.

31. yes, but in between those moments, we are glorious
Shakespeare wrote, "What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god! The beauty of the world, the paragon of animals"

Hamlet, Act 2 scene 2.

Anyone see NOW tonight?
According to some CBS poll they quoted, 65% of Americans think Biblical Creationism should be taught along side (or instead of) Evolution in public schools.

You know, as a kid, I used to say as a kid "most people are stupid". I was told to be "nice". However, I was right!

Stupid people! :eyes:
