Comments:
<0> Darth, It wouldnt be under this plan which has nothing to do with regional government.
<1> I had another friend who's brother had a temp job at the WTC that day. He was running late. Running accross the plaza in front of the building when the plane hit.
<1> he was okay too
<2> Freemrkts just some sort of cummincations system?
<1> scared the **** out of everyone though
<3> I would figure
<0> Its my plan of created 10 congressional districts which would form a virtual congress which would do the same things congress did today only by high tech computer imaging.
<4> and what would you do with the current congress?
<1> RobVanDam, work camp!
<1> :P
<5> high tech computer imaging to basically just raise taxes? :) (joke)
<2> vcan we have virtual politicians?
<0> So The Congresman from Montana could still talk diectly and see and hear bob kennedy jrs arguments.
<6> DarthBurg : probably so.
<5> well we have virtual representation already :)
<1> DarthBurg, they'd all end up looking like Laura Croft
<0> Was it bob kennedy jr who went through drug rehab ?
<1> :)
<2> ARGH
<1> Freemrkts, yeah
<5> FM yeah in 3 weeks
<0> thanks Katey
<4> what would you do with the current congress?
<2> Virtual Corruption
<1> And one of RFK's kids commited suicide, I believe
<1> drug problems also,iirc
<5> no no no.. we have neough real corruption.. dont need to virtualize it
<4> kennedys
<4> we are better off without them
<2> Dr. Spock's kid committed suicide as well
<2> what would we do without experts
<0> the point is it would be congress as usual but it would be virtual, then you could never wipe out the entire congress in one terrorist attack, they would closer to their cosntituents, and it would lobbyests jobs harder
<4> DarthBurg: leonard nemoys kid killed himself?
<2> RobVanDam wrong spock
<0> I realize its a bit of a nutty idea right now but in 20 years could be a reality
<2> Dr., not Mr.
<0> I think ultimatley something like that will happen
<3> interesting idea, FM
<4> DarthBurg: spock was not a doctor?
<0> Airbuster thanks!
<4> DarthBurg: he seems like he was :) he had a phd did he not?
<2> RobVanDam nope, he wa sa line officer
<4> Freemrkts: but you would only have 10 congressmen?
<4> yea it does sound nutty, very nutty
<0> Dr Spock the old child raising guy ?
<2> naw, ten places for congress to meet
<0> hehe
<5> spock was a science officer but in the line.. which was wierd.. command in ST:TOS wore gold
<2> Yes, that Dr. Spock
<0> Rob, No full congress.
<7> weee
<7> I finally don't have to sit in a fold up chair
<4> back from nascar nomex?
<2> bun-bun he wore the Blue of science because he was science officer. He was also Second In Command, Scotty was third, and he had a red shirt.
<0> so they would have like auditoriums and through virtual imaging they could see the rest of the members of congres just as if they were turning on the floor to adress them in real life.
<4> oh ic
<7> no
<7> I got a futon
<7> I meant in my living room
<4> DarthBurg: a red shirt for custodial engineer?
<7> all I've had for 2 months as living room furniture is a fold up chair
<4> scotty was the custodian, right?
<4> the janitor
<2> RobVanDam in Kirk's day, Red meant engineer. Red became command colors in TNG
<5> red was eng/security :)
<4> and master of the transporter
<2> yes thats him
<4> i always thought he was the janitor
<4> lol
<2> may James Doohan Rest in Peace
<7> scotty died
<7> apparently he was just a mean ***hole in real life though
<2> not true
<1> Dr. Spock's grandson commited suicide
<1> not his son
<2> James Doohan lost a finger in the normandy invasion.
<4> i love that sponge bob pic
<2> Grand son?
<1> yep
<7> I lost a grandfather in a concentration camp :(
<7> he fell out of the guard tower and broke his neck
<2> hmm, i ill defer, pretty sure it was his actual kid, but I have been wrong before.
<2> nomazda harsh
<7> :D
<0> I am so tired, I could go to sleep and yet I cant go to sleep because i have things to do.
<8> Cavemen could raise children... it's not that friggin' hard.
<2> Glock21 was obviously spanked as a child
<2> Freemrkts First thing, shut off IRC
<2> :D
<1> yeah, it's easy! O.o
<7> why do now what you can put off till later?
<8> Those ghetto children playing in the streets with crack moms totally uneducated and totally uncaring still manage to make it to adulthood most of the time.
<1> I think Glock21 might have been spanked as and adult too
<2> well, raising kids would be a lot easier if we could mentally scar the little buggers
<7> DarthBurg: who says you can't?
<2> Nomex shhhhh don't let then hear you
<7> it's only the physical scars that the authorities care about
<7> :)
<1> of course you can mentally scare them
<0> Glock, My philosophy of child raising was to let nature take its course. (I am very serious), I never hit my kids, I never told then wnat to think or what they had to do exccept on obvious issues wher eyou have to tell them to take a bath or something like that. I was patient with bed wetting, they quit naturally. I think Evidence of success is my kids have never ****ed thier thumb, and they have never done anything that is
<2> tell it to the hate crime crowd
<1> what do you think "the look" is all about?
<1> :)
<2> Katey and learning about hot stoves, thats mentally scarring
<7> http://70.86.201.113/imageserv2/stilltemporary/PBF013BCBetterLuckNextTime.html
<0> Not to paint a totally rosey picture, by daughter is a little rebellious now but not on issue of cunduct she is against smoking drinking and drugs as I am.
<7> that's the kind of dad I wanna be
<1> parents should perfect their frightening "oh you're so busted" look
<0> But she wants more freedom to make her own deciscions.
<0> My son is exactly what a father would pray for a son to be.
<9> Freemrkts: Take alot of pride in that? ;)
<1> Freemrkts, he's still young
<0> He is not only a great kid who never causes trouble he is my best friend.
<1> give him time. :)
<9> how youngs your son too?
<10> am i still banned?
<0> children shall not play here!
<0> Necrosan, Well, I love them a lot.. Pride is a mixed word...
<9> guess so :D
<0> It has a negative and a positive connotation so I am not sure
<8> I have no desire to have children anymore.
<9> Freemrkts: I'd look at it more as an accomplishment
<0> I dont take pride as in "Its me who made htem great" i didnt..
<0> They made themselves who they are. I just have them the freedom to blossom.
<1> Freemrkts, I think it's fair to take pride in being a good parent
<0> have = gave them
<0> Katey thanks, It is a hard job as you know, we worry ourselves to death about them. But its great to see them turn out good.
<1> It's a difficult and demanding task
<1> enjoy a good outcome. :)
<1> it's fair to claim some credit for it. :)
<11> Abusive Domain or User
<0> My wife and pretty much everyone who knows us says I have an amazing ability for calm and for patience. You couldnt tell that on irc ;)
<8> Having a kid seems so celebrated in our culture. Personally I think the whole thing is overrated.
<0> Maybe irc is my alter ego ;)
<1> although, I often also will say "don't give me credit, it's all her (or him, if they're talking about my son):
<7> kids raise themselves these days, what with the internet and hollywood guiding them
<1> Glock21, it's been a rewarding experience for me. I can't speak for other people.
<0> Katey right, I think what we do is we allow them to grow and we share or experiences with them and let them thing about it and draw their own conclusions.
<1> I think there's a lot to the process of having one's life be about something other than just themselves
<7> if you have a daughter, as a father you have but 1 job: Keep your little girl off the pole
<1> it gives you a connection to the future, etc
<1> connects you with the community too, I think
<0> I have never tried to convince my children to be atheists. In fact I have said you know thasts something you need to consider youself, if you believe in god or not, its important you dont become a non believer simply because I am.
<8> Most people hear about their friend having a kid or going to have a kid and they'll say "congratulations" or "I'm so happy for you"... me, I'm more likely to say "yay, you spawned more humans out of your crotches... sounds great."
<0> katey the problem is a lot of people try to beat thier own will into thier kids I believe.
<1> Freemrkts, sure.
<0> And I do mean in some cases literally beat.
<1> Freemrkts, well, to some extent it's fair enough to teach your kids the values that you think are important
<1> it's part of the job
