Re: attn: kolij & hi-skoo kidz
I only use the big stations to introduce me to whatever issue. After that, I usually use Wikipedia to fill me in on the rest. My local news is laughable and I stopped watching it all together when the jokes-cracking weatherman left (he was the only real reason I was tuning in).

Re: attn: kolij & hi-skoo kidz
That's impossible to prove. For all we know, at one point, you may have been practicing when otherwise you would have been in a situation where you could become a carrier for the flu and eventually transferred it to other people (in an enclosed arena or something, it might (not that i'm an expert on the flu) have been able to spread to othersMark wrote:Or

Re: attn: kolij & hi-skoo kidz
I don't limit it to that group of people. I view anyone with a large salary as lucky. When I'm working, I'll do a lot of things that I absolutely hate in order to get paid (certainly nothing approaching the definition of "large salary"). I go to work to get paychecks - not to have fun, be myself, or enjoy the experience. In my free time, I do those things exclusively.bloke wrote: Many (due to their large salaries) view this group of people as lucky. Personally, I view them as pitiful.
A job is just a job, so why not collect as much dough as you can?

Again, if people will pay me to do something that I can do well with mimimum effort, wouldn't I be crazy to stop them? Whether they're crazy for paying me isn't the question.bloke wrote:Good for you, Biggs !...Biggs wrote:A job is just a job, so why not collect as much dough as you can?

Are you as bummed as me that KOTH was cancelled? In a typical week (i.e. one with school) I don't watch too much TV, but that was a show I never passed up.Kahn Souphanousinphone
