You make a good instigator. Everyone here knows that gang members come in all colors including white. As I have mentioned before, Rush knows just how far he can go with a comment. It's like, Guess if I'm a racist, I won't give you enough to prove it though. He's a big mouth and trouble maker and he's paid quite well for it, and his audience tends to love him that way. So be it, no skin off my nose, hell take himself down one day.

Quit being a bully, Winx can see what you pasted with out changing the colors. And Rush should check out his own behavior before talking about someone elses.

Personally I don't think anyone knows for a fact that he is a racist, but if he sounds like one, it's not going to help him either. People have the right to exclude him if they chose to because of his own behavior. Legally is another matter, but people can make it difficult for him. I don't feel one bit sorry for the guy, it's just karma.

Not well obviously...

Well it certainly will not be the first or the last time I read something wrong, typically when I have too much on my mind like lately. Not a great excuse, but the best one I have.

It shouldn't be a big deal, I just wish Davey had given me the benefit of the doubt before assuming I was 'deliberately' being evasive or bs'ing. Though having misread it a few times, and still not answering it they way he was expecting did make it look as if I was being evasive.

Hell I misread my water bill yesterday and paid more than was shown, leaving me short on my phone bill. I was so pissed at myself because I was trying to do too many things at once while also trying to get to the water company before it closed.. ugh, I really needed to slow the hell down, but nooooooooooooo.

I also wished I had read the damn thing right the first time, I could have saved all this mess myself. Of course I am still not letting Davey off the hook for accusing me of being deceptive and bs'ing, when I was really just not paying close enough attention. But I did feel I owed him an apology for not reading it correctly, which might have prevented him from going off too.

Personally we hear people saying that doctors are not reimbursed correctly. I don't really believe that, I think they inflate their charges and what they actually get back is probably more than they actually deserve. Some of the things they charge huge prices for to the insurance companies are insanely high.

I know that a lady at a hospital once sat with me and went through all the hospital charges, and she cut them all by half or more, then sent the bill where ever she sent it. Even at half they were outrageously insane.

Me too for the most part as long as I don't break any bones or come up with some funky unusual disease.

Actually I think that is a great idea. Here banks and other businesses allow the schools to come take their paper waste, and the kids get the money for the school from their taking it to the recyle center.

But I like that idea. I see parents bring their kids to school and sit there for quite a while as the bring them up to the front door. Would be cool if they had large bins where they could do that, though there might be other reasons why that might not be practical.

Telephone books are separated from other paper grades at the MRF. Because of the glue binding, they are a bit trickier to recycle. Most are turned into cellulose insulation.

Here in the sticks, we can take them to the one and only recycle center and the put them in specific bins. We don't have home recycling here, but we do have a center, though not enough people are conscious enough to use it, sadly.

Just before I moved from my last home in florida, we were told we could start putting out phone books in the paper bin, not sure why maybe they started using a type of glue that wasn't a problem, but I am not sure about that.

LOL, I think he'd even survive that.. LOL Take his millions from him then you'll see real tears.

When hurricane Andrew devastated our area in Homestead Florida, my 'tough as nails' neighbor was on his knees in the front of his house walling his head of, while my gf and I were moving debris from our road way. He freaked when he saw that we noticed.

I could have sympathized with him if he wasn't such a controlling D-head on every other day. But the loss of his 'STUFF' was the only thing that could make him weep. I see Rush like that too, though it could be just his public face. Who knows, it's his public attitude that makes him his millions.

I rather doubt they are worried, every one knows that Rush is outrageous, there isn't much he can say that would be a suprise to anyone. Rush is Rush..

Crying doesn't work for enough people, so I doubt he would even adopt that tactic like Beck. Rush's audience prefers his self righteous anger and sarcasm. I think they might find it painfully embarrassing if he start the weeping thing that Beck does.

Holy $hit, I just this minute realized that I never read the question correctly and worse I didn't read it correctly 3 times, even when I copied and pasted it twice. That of course doesn't get you off the hook for telling me what you did, but here goes..

Ok for the last time:

What would I think of someone who asked me to do something but let know he refused to do it themselves?

I would think he/she would have a lot of nerve asking me to do something he/she would not do themselves.

I am not sure what that has to do with Obama not crossing his heart, but at this point I am just glad I finally understood what you were actually asking.

Geezuz, I did get it right this time, no? If you tell me no I am going to scream....

The whole time I thought the question was what would you do if someone asked you to do something they were unwilling to do...

I apologize for not reading it as posed....

Geezuz Davey, you just made me go back and double check for the question again, and guess what. I just found that I had answered your question way back on page 10 a few posts below your question.

And here all this time I was trying to defend myself against your accusations of not answering the question when I actually had answered it once already.

Boy you really did have me going there, Davey. Here I thought I had missed the question and was ticked off that you didn't give me the time to answer, and I had already answered it.. Geezuz

And by the way TJ said it was a yes or no question which did kind of puzzle me at the time, but never the less I not only answered your question before you accused me of not answering it, but I answered it again in the end when I spent time defending myself. Hell it's not surprising others would be confused, but if it's that important they could go back as well, at least to show I wasn't what you were accusing me of.

What am I missing? Is this not what you are asking?

REPLY: Davey
Nope not what I'm asking at all (I think you probably know that but...). What I asked was what you would think of someone who asked you to do something but let you know he refused to do it himself.

A FEW POSTS BELOW THAT:

Ok now I am bit confused, who asked who to do what? Did Obama ask for someone to do something ? I'm lost now. I would never ask someone to do something I would not wish to do.


That may not have been a perfect answer but you either missed it, or it wasn't good enough to be the answer you wanted. or whatever.. but it was an answer. If I wouldn't ask someone to do something I would not wish to do, it stands to reason I would not do something asked of me that they would not wish to do.


Are we done now?

Sorry I am getting pretty tired now, you lost me. Since when does Rush care who's feelings he hurts? Of course the people that love Rush aren't going to be offended by his words, he just spews the words they'd like to say themselves if they had an audience.

And Rush doesn't know much about the gay community if he thinks that anyway. But he sure knows what religious community likes to hear and it doesn't need to make a lot of sense, just be in line with the rethoric.

OH ya I always love it when the religious justify hurting feelings for their own good. Please.... Rush didn't need to be called a racist to lose this opportunity, he just needed to say dumbA$$ things to the wrong people. So what, Rush is a martyr now? I bet Beck is too then, huh?

I meant to say listen, but happy I was able to give you a laugh.

Personally I don't know for a fact that Rush is racist, but you don't have to be racist to sound like one. You did crack me up thought when you said 'his love of all people is well known' to his fans. Now that is funny. Maybe you meant to say his love of his fans is well known. No one that loves all people acts like he does.

In fact I don't even care if he doesn't love all people, I still find him rude and obnoxious and I do watch him though not regularly, my nerves couldn't handle it.

What Rush enjoys more are statements that can be taken racially but not quite bad enough to prove he is a racist. Either way, whether he says those things for effect, to amuse/cater to his supporters, to tick off his opposition or just for ratings, his bottom line is the money it brings him. He just said so in an interview this past week.

Green is his thing, period. Rush is Rush's first concern.

The more divisive things are out in society the more he will take verbal liberties, it makes him millions and he attracts those that are angry about every imaginable issue, so there will be no shortage of material for him to exploit.

Absolutely, I switched to a community bank, no fees, no check charges. I'm happy. I'm going to see if we have a credit union next. My friend switched to a credit union for her personal and business and is also happier. She talked me into moving to a community bank.

I have also noticed online where credit unions themselves are trying to educate the public about the myths of credit unions. Interesting.
