Where I'm going with this is based off what I would have done if girls were allowed.  I met my wife my senior year, when I was 17, she was 15 (two grades below me).  I would have told her to join my troop just so we could go on "camping trips" if you catch my drift.  Just asking for kids to take advantage of the situation, imo.  

 

 

That's a new badge. New level, actually. You go from Boy Scout and go straight to Man Scout.

Wife surprised me this morning with an ODESZA ticket!  I told her about the show a few months ago, but figured she wouldn't be interested since there's going to be a thick cloud of marijuana smoke hanging over Red Rocks amphitheater and she's preggs.  But she got me a ticket and put it on my dresser this morning.  :wub:

ODESZA with a full orchestra, drum line, and laser show.....at the #1 concert venue in the United States?!  LETS ****ING GOOOOO!  Goosebumps incoming. :headbang:

I hate when corporate america throws around the "family" term.  They do it in a way that I don't think they understand what that means.  I say that because I just witnessed at work what I already knew in action, to hell with what they say.

Not until about a year ago...

 

Was talking about the other dude. I readily assume that if I don't recognise them they are probably some Disney star that's come of age.

Ya, I was squinting my eyes to try and read what you were saying, I get your overall point, though.

...and dumb Americans call it “get drunk as hell for another country’s event while mistakenly calling it their Independence Day.”

 

Curious, do other countries talk about our history, or they just treat us like were always a superpower in their history classes?  I don't like how our grade level history classes gloss over as much bad stuff in our history as they can to paint us as the hero, do other countries do the same?

I work with some Romanians and I am absolutely shocked at how much they know about American history.  One of them dropped an Abraham Lincoln quote once and I was flabbergasted.  Then I felt bad for not hardly knowing anything about their history.

but... that is more like the Romanian not knowing much about Maryland history.   you probably know about as much (or much more) about European history, as he knows about North American history, The USA is just the size of France +germany + italy + UK + Poland plus a baker's dozen of the the smaller countries.

Ya, on flip side, my ex never had a world history class in grade school, so when I met her she didn't know who was with the Allies or Axis powers during World War II (she grew up in the Caribbean). 

 

I'm curious what a Russian history book's perspective on the United States is (not just how much, but their perception of how we handled our superpower status after World War II was over).  We painted them as the villain, I'm almost certain they paint us as the villain as well (asking, since I don't want to assume).

Y’all talking about the Snyder cheerleading?

Not in here, its not moved to the Tailgate yet (I predict it will be rate its going).  I've been in there, you read the NYT article yet?  If you haven't read that first, I want to say it's in the OP.

What I always found odd was students I knew in the eighties and nineties who came here from failed communist countries extolling the virtues of socialism...so you came here to try and have a chance for success, but you want the government to bleed Bill Gates dry and everyone else who can afford a mansion...

your definition of "bleed them dry" is a bit exagerrated?

 

Considering investment income is taxed at a much lower rate than earned income, I don't have a problem.

I'm making Employee Removal guides for two of my closest co-workers right now.  I feel sick, it was a business decision, but they had some of the highest tenure in the company, everybody is trying not to be on edge about it.  Loyalty in Corporate America is dead (in case any of you were still in denial)

Just love those business decisions. Peace for you Renegade.
