A Chicago poster hit a home run with the following. "The Chicago

Priceless!

I thought the IOC was supposed to be the "one world gov't" sports
wing. You
guys cheered when the US didn't get the 2016 games, which meant no
jobs
(fyi, jobs that would have started almost immediately). Then, when
the
Nobel
committee confirms your belief that Obama is a one-worlder, you
scream
and
yell, claiming it's a fraud. Please pick one. I'm getting dizzy.
Don't expect a response.

They can't hold a position if it means they'd be on our President's
side.

If she gets no response, it'll be because her comment is devoid of
meaning. Sometimes ditziness makes one talk funny.

As for you, I'm on the President's side. He saved over 3.45 million
jobs while he was pushing for the Olympics. I think that's quite
worthwhile.

Careful who you are calling a ditz John. As Tom pointed out she might
not be who she claims to be. Do you know any woman that wouldn't freak
at the sight of a rattlesnake. Most men too.- Hide quoted text -

My wife doesn't discriminate.

She hates all snakes. I don't really like 'em either. except for
garden snakes. They keep the mice under control.


I've heard there are two kinds of people.. those that hate/fear snakes and
those that hate/fear spiders. If I had to pick which one to be near, I
guess
I'd pick snakes (those without arms/legs, otherwise, I'd pick spiders).

There are 10 kinds of people. Those who do binary, and those who
don't.


Funny.

I see people on the phone all the time. Around here, it's mostly guys in
big
pickups, although there's the occaisonal sedan with a woman talking. I
watched a van run a red (no side traffic fortunately) while she was
yacking
away. I don't think she noticed. I don't even like to talk via the
built-in
bluetooth. That's distracting too. I usually pull over or if not
possible,
slow down and move over, e.g., on the freeway.

I hate to say it, but it seems to me that females with cell phones
pose the big problem. Yes, there may be males using them, but they
don't seem to get as distracted as do the females. When a car slows
from 70 to 50 in the fast lane, it's usually a female on a cell phone.
Totally oblivious to cars behind her.


I think that's totally sexist and not supported by any facts I'm aware of.
There's no comparison between testonerone big wheels driving, while
yacking
about God knows what, while driving single-handed and smoking a cig.

That's like saying I'm racist because I'm not wild about the health
bill being held up by the friggin' Democrats.

It's sexist because it's not just about "getting distracted." It's your
opinion not supported by facts.


Facts are facts. 'Testonerone' big wheels driving while yacking don't
slow down to nothing and wander back and forth like the females do.

Pure supposition.

He "The following three points summarize the results from the
Poisson estimations. First, more phone usage while driving is
associated with higher accident risk for women in our sample. RT also
found that cell phone usage by women appears to be riskier than usage
by men."

That's one study. Here's another perspective:

I gave you a legitimate study and you give me the Washington Post.

Give me a break. Can you understand why the word 'ditzy' comes to
mind?

If my author name is giving you a problem, what do you think

You quoted only a portion. Sorry if you can't admit that there were other

Still didn't answer the question... why do you continually change
identities? (Clue: has nothing to do with anonymity).

Hmmm... you're "King" of something? Sounds pretty ego-centric to me.

Around here, all the terrible drivers are men (aka boys with toys) driving
testosterone big wheels with no regard for anyone else. I see them getting
ticketed regularly for talking while driving.
