Copy and paste will not cut it here. That is called plagerism in the real world and will get you removed from a job or an academic institution. It should get you removed from here as well.
Is there not a "Ignore Button" here?

If you think anyone on the forum does not meet your standards use the button or skip over their posts. Simple.

The problem with that is that others quote his posts in order to respond. Far simpler to just not read his drivel.

I just don't understand why anyone wants to get all red-faced with veins standing out of their necks and spittle flying from their mouths when they can just scroll down a little farther.

I saw a news tick this morning mentioning a new study which has concluded that stress and depression shrinks the brain.

Explains a lot about this forum... and why the wing dings try hard to just scroll on by, but just can't seem to stop reading.

Now UPS could have hung onto the people it had, there would be more people working, ergo more consumers buying product. If there are any businessmen who can see past the end of their noses I must have missed them.

Paul Ryan the consensus candidate


once again nobody wants efffing coupons for their Medicare

Ryan won't do it once he gets in? Obama did healthcare, so I am sure President Ryan can do major legislation too. Go ahead vote for Ryan....save up for your Premium Support payment coupons for Aetna and Blue Shield while your at it....

So Rex, you now prefer the party of the very rich? But they do a good job of pretending

Ryan's not running for president. While he has infinitely more experience than Obama had in 2008, he doesn't have enough yet to be president imo. We are all looking at the results of putting someone in that job before they are ready right now...and those results aren't very reassurring... not that I really think someone with Obama's level of incompetence will ever be ready.
