We've all got our personal scales for measurement.
I find that getting paid to mow lawns beats the hell out of sitting at home waiting for my long-suffering wife to bring home the bacon.
Welfare queen? Fletch, you wish you were as well off as I am.
You are now free to stick your nose into someone else’s business.
PS Does Bartard pay you to stick up for him?

This Week with Christiane Amanpour marks the passings of pilot Reginald Levy, television host Mitch Miller, medical researcher Dr. Thomas Peebles. In addition, the Pentagon released the names of four service members killed in Afghanistan.
US Marines LCpl Shane R Martin, 23, Spring, TXAccording to iCasualties, the total number of allied service members killed in Iraq is 4,732; in Afghanistan, 1,987, of whom 151 are Canadian. Unfortunately, the list of Iraqi civilian casualties has not been updated for two weeks, nor has the daunting task of quantifying Afghan civilian casualties been attempted, however it is clear that those numbers are soaring.

And as an aside to television critic Tom Shales, as a being with empathy and a sense of humanity, I mourn all deaths involved in these wars, as should you. But you know what they say about those who can't be humane: they just smear those who can under the guise of critiquing.
Hey im 30. You make more money then me. Wowsers. Even take out the age, like i give a fuck. At least without a tragedy i will be around in thirty years and ill be a few years short of your current age. You? You will probably be dead in less time. Sleep tight!
Oh, I see. We should mourn ALL deaths, including those of the Taliban and Al Queda.
No, you "should" do whatever the hell you want.
For example, you can mourn certain deaths and cheer others. Make it like a sports event. Paint your face, wear the proper team colors etc
Speaking for myself, I mourn the deaths of my fellow countrymen when they are killed working "security work" for in another country.
I also mourn the deaths of people in other countries who are killed by members of invading armies.
This thread is to help anyone mourn (or if so inclined - cheer) the deaths of celebrity icons and the needless deaths of American military.
I'm glad you took time to participate.....More Views = Success
It's all so pointless.
Dave, with all those investments, didn't you get a little pissed at Dubya and the boys in late 2008? I Know that I did and I would guess that my investments are close to as much as yours.
