 i am just alot more flexable about things than you can be

How closed minded that seems to me, that someone who has different tastes and opinions than you is automatically somehow less "flexable".

Have you ever tried a different way of thinking? I used to be as libertine as you or more, but I was willing and able to change and grow, when will you open your mind to new ways? Can you?

But I guess you have a closed mind about me already. You don't even know me but you have judged me and closed the book. I guess it is easy to just put people in a category and never even try to learn about them as individuals.

Have fun in your comfortable little world where you are better than me because you haven't changed or improved yourself since you were 15. I'm glad I'm not as self-satisfied as you. Good bye and good riddance.

If you want that, do it. There's plenty of free forum offers. You don't think I'm going to do it for you, do you?

Or if you have to do it here, just do it - instead of posting vulgarities, post your email address.

It's good to see that you're finally working on improving your craft. I suggest larger hand motions and lean towards the audience as you deliver the punchline.

Plus some material that isn't so stale.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Hi Roy, I'll try to check this out later. A first glance says there is a lot included...

You said all that but you couldn't just say , "No, I didn't"? Whatever.

And no, we aren't about to lose this forum. I believe most people will practice self-restraint. I have a better opinion of people I guess.

Oh, and are you about done with the not-so-clever insults? Not that I really care what you make up to say about me, but I keep hoping the insults will improve and keep being disappointed. I can give you some tips on humor if you want. It's all about stage presence....

Does that count as #1?

Why does everything have to be put under a microscope all the time?

Why should obvious pranks be blindly accepted all the time?

The spelling was not a problem, the similarities of the types of spelling errors between so-called daughter and supposed father was a clue. There were many other clues. No need for a microscope, simple open eyes would have done.

Facing the truth is uncomfortable sometimes, but not facing it is dishonest and cowardly, don't you think?

Speaking of which, did you ever check those Bible quotes?

I think it was a prank as well. The 'Phill Billy' was a big give away.

But I think it was a good excuse to have the conversation. I try to make sure that my son is on assignment when I read this board because you never know what will show up on the screen.

You would never have to buy another system again because it would be totally updated via the net, was the type of wording used.

Do they make you buy Vista? They haven't made us buy it yet, but when the politicians get done who knows... everything that's not forbidden will be mandatory.

In other words, either now, by choice, or later, when the black helicopters circle your house.

In my opinion, you should phrase that so that people don't make light of it like the last time.

Since it was a joke, I hope people make light of it, I would hate to think that someone believes I can send black helicopters to circle their house. It's a joke based upon the exageration of a metaphore. One would have to understand metaphores to get it.

quote: That is why her father came on and called you what he did.

I think you got that wrong too. "He" (if it wasn't really a particular attention seeker) seemed upset that I mentioned underwear.

I don't really believe it was a girl or a dad. I think it was someone pranking us.

I must have missed that promotion. Maybe they advertize differently in England?

But I'm wouldn't say, this is the only picture you would ever need. Microsoft did with XP and then 5 years on said XP isn't good enough here's the real better system. I feel I should be compensated or discounted for such a lie.

Sue.

I suspect that you will find they never really said what you think they said, or if they did, that you don't really need the new OS, or that new technology invalidates the old promise... or some such thing.

It may be shady marketing, but MS is not the only one who does it. Ever seen the profit margin on vitamins and the disclaimers they post in the back room under a pile of organic compost?

The alternative is to have the government oversee every sale of every product in every shop around the world. I prefer to be wary when buying... I mean, you didn't really believe them if they really said such a thing, did you? Like they are going to stop improving their software (and making a profit) just to keep an inferred promise.

At least they are not a true monopoly like Apple, where they own the computer, the software, the shops, the repair center and the accessories.

   so some want to

It's not our forum.

Those (including me) who want to discuss things other than Hal, and those who want to discuss things which might offend other users, should use self-restraint. If they don't, at some point Robert may put in rules.

In other words, either now, by choice, or later, when the black helicopters circle your house.

That is a rip off.

I have a hard time complaining, because I sell my artwork at the same price no matter how long ago I made it, no matter who sells their artwork at what price and no matter how much a customer thinks they should get a discount. Willing seller and willing buyer doesn't sound like a rip off to me. My customers are welcome to purchase from anyone else at any time.
