When I do I use a fake name. Of course you do, you depend upon your anonymity hiding behind
a screen name to enable you to be such a bloody ass. If you
were using your real name you would be much more civil.
Weenerhead.

Some of us come here to argue. 
To: Mr. Brightside
With a cable connection I am always connected so I am basically ALWAYS online when I am home.
I am probably on an off the internet dozens of times everyday and work.
..checking my email, the weather, News, the TV guide, FR message boards, my 401K, credit card and bank accounts, stocks & gold prices, downloading music, shopping, booking trips, flights, hotels, car rentals, Mapquest, WebMD, Casino sites, and basically an infinite variety of interests.........
I don't think I could stay in the house if I didn't have the internet.

Some of us come here to argue.
And some of us hang out, just to watch you argue.
And some of us are here just for the pics.
Cheers,

Why is it that when I have time to hang out online and give my commentary, the top stories are like: "Man Leaves Lunch On Airline Flight" and "Firemen Rescue Cat From Endagered Tree"?
Why can't nights like this be when we find out that Jesse Jackson has a illegitimate child with Hillary Clinton?
To: humblegunner
Caught me.
My checks are printed "Wienerhead".
Ya bonehead!

I suggest it is time for islam to come onto this field...let's see how it performs! Heh.. now you want cyber fatwahs? (J/K)
It would be exposed and perform miserably... but thats your point. ;o)

To: Hardastarboard
Not me. I don't hang out on a conservative website posting smart-ass comments. No way. And I sure wouldn't be caught dead wasting time responding to them.

I check the saddle club, the breaking news and then the weather.
To: Mr. Brightside
What I've always said about the internet that makes it superior to, say, television, is that it is interactive. You can tell it what you want and go to find the news/data/chat you want to discuss instead of wading through commercials for a bunch of teletext readers to TELL you what they think you need to know.
Granted, television still has its plusses but if I had to do away with one or the other for the rest of my life, I'd keep my internet and kill my television.

Windy enough for you? I was just up on the observing deck, and I'm a popsicle!
