IAPW, Eloise would be in school 20 hours a day.

IAPW... Money wouldn't exist. We'd all help out in ways that we can and there would be common benefits so that greed would be useless. Hot chicks would hit on me. People wouldn't be a-holes. Friends would be friends and not let others get away with punking you. (Don't ask.)

Ever had a telemarketer call you? Here's something to try the next time you get one of those annoying calls. Warning: The included material is slightly morbid and could be considered offensive. Open the spoiler at your own risk. URL: http://www.youtube.com/v/J5z4Vs26-TI

The words are offensive is what it boils down to. Just like seemingly harmless words can be offensive. Like in the movie, Clerks II, they had the word "porchmonkey" in there, which is a racial slur. Listen to the news, do you hear them using profanity? Not likely unless you have a low quality news team. Not everyone feels that all kids should be exposed to all the words. Some people feel offended by those words under certain circumstances. I feel it's offensive when it's within easy public sight of a kid. Put it inside the magazine and if someone gets offended, well it's their own fault for opening the magazine and reading it. If they let their kid read it, their fault again. But in a checkout line, it's hard to cover up everything. Which is why those magazines should take more responsibility in what they put on the cover. I have a feeling that Cosmo was trying push the limit so that it'd become an acceptable practice. Which then leads to trying to break through the next barrier. Guess what that is... nudity. As for the freedom of speech thing, what if 2 people were in a line ahead of you and were rubbing all over each other talking nasty about what they're going to do to each other in bed? Should a kid be hearing all that? Just something to think about.

Just be like, "I dunno why I didn't make honor roll.. Toontown has been teaching me math which is a form of science.."

During the pres election, I'm sure the prices will go down some and the pres will try to make it look like the republicans had somehow "finally" managed to bring the prices down, so people will flock to the polls to vote republican as a form of thanks. But after that the prices will go back up. Only a little if a rep wins (god forbid) or a lot if a dem. wins.

Ok Yes, I know, it's #3. However, it's still a valid and popular meaning. Censorship to a degree is fine and necessary. When in private, if someone wishes to expose a child to something vulgar and risk breaking the law, that's fine. However, to do it publicly is crossing the line because then it's not only helping to contribute to the delinquency of a juvie, but it's violating the rights of others (parents/guardians) because such topics should be decided by the parents on when the kids learn it. Otherwise, what's to stop some guy from going up to a 10 year old girl and telling her about sex? It's the same thing, just a bit more "in your face" about it. Keep in mind that I have nothing against the magazine nor it's right to freedom of speech and expression and all that jazz, it's just that they shouldn't be exposing it when their magazine is found at most supermarket checkout lines where kids can see it. They either should have covered it, via a plastic wrapper (like some magazines do), a paper cover (so people can read the cover and glance the contents before buying), or blotted the word out on the cover but not inside. Parents who teach and allow their kids to cuss run a risk of having their kids taken away from them, because that's inappropriate language for them to be learning and using. If they're teens, then oh well. But if they're like 8 years old and cussing up a storm, then social services needs to get involved because who knows what else is going on in that home? Freudian slip?

I'm guessing you've seen it before.

The word in and of itself isn't offensive. It's that it's on the front cover of a magazine that is places in the checkout lines at supermarkets, where kids can see it. If you had a kid and that was there, would you want your kid to see it and start asking you what it means and how to say it? If it wouldn't bother you, then that's your choice. But there are many people who have kids that would prefer to pick and choose what words their kids learn about, and at what age. When it comes to profanity, I think it should be left up to the parent to decide, not the cover of a magazine. If it were at a store where only adults are permitted in (no kids, not even with an adult), then hey, it's fair game. But when a kid could be affected, then discretion needs to be used. To put it into another perspective. When you become a teacher, are you going to use the b-word as one of your spelling words?

Here are a some of my own tips for doing SCHOOLwork at home. (Why is it called homework when it's not work for the home, but simply schoolwork done at home?) 1. Do a dual sorting of the assignments. First, note the importance of each assignment as it applies to your overall grade. Next, the ease of the assignment. 2. For the assignments that won't make a crap of difference, put those aside. 3. Next, look at the difficult assignments. See if any of them can be broken into steps. For the ones that can't, do those last. 4. Now, alternate back and forth between easy assignments, and the steps for the harder assignments. The idea is that there is no need to knock yourself out doing the ones that don't really matter (unless you get a chance). Also, if you do the hard ones in smaller steps, then it'll seem easier to do. Also, doing the easy assignments first will knock the 'to-do' list down, so it makes the pile of homework look smaller. Need to do a book review/report of some sort? Read the questions (if any) and what you will need to include. Then as you read, when you come across something that you need, write down the page number and a quick reference to what it is. Math? Look at the examples until you are certain that you're figuring them out correctly. Then do the actual problems. Always show your work, because then even if you get the answers wrong, if the teacher sees WHY you got it wrong, they may help you learn it and may even be more kind on the grading if they know that you have learned the material. Science? Good luck. History? Internet. Just be sure to verify what you find, since there are very few places on the net that are 100% reliable sources. Government? Just be anti-bush and no matter the topic, you should get a great grade, unless the person is some sort of demented Bush worshipper. Being serious, Government isn't really that hard overall. It's the details that can get you. Art? Just fling some paint onto an old TV set and call it something like "Color out of sync". All in all, sometimes homework is easier than it would first appear. It all comes down to relaxing, sorting, prioritizing and then deprocrastinating.

Heck, for $96, just gimme the freaking barrel. Am I the only one who noticed that after the recent elections, the prices went up? Is it Bush's way of punishing people for electing some democrats instead of his Republican buddies? Wednesday, right after the elections, I hear about the price increases and immediately my thought was "Geez, he wasted no time in getting his oil buddies to jack things up some more." Just wait until a new president is elected. I think it's a general consensus that it'll be a democrat... At least I'm hoping so. I'm usually not for one party over the other, but with the way Bush has been allowed to run amok by his own party, I'm quite a bit soured on anyone who runs as a Republican right now. I'm a fan of Fred Thompson, but I'm voting Democrat, so if he ends up being the candidate next year, he won't have my vote, unless it happens to be Barack Obsama Bin Laden (I did that on purpose) on the Democratic ticket. Get a Democratic president into office, and I'm sure the gas prices will start dropping rapidly. Oh how nice it would be if some undeniable evidence were found of Bush performing illegal activities. Then he'd get impeached real fast. I'm still amazed that he was able to remain in office when a thorough investigation revealed that he really did NOT win Florida in the 2000 election. To me, Al Gore was the official president. That's why I'll sometimes refer to Bush as being the illegitimate/unofficial president. The electoral college needs to be tossed aside. In this day and age, the popular votes can be quickly and easily added up. If we had gone by that back in 2000, then the real president would have been in office, not the impostor that we have now.

When there are unauthorized charges, contact your credit card company/issuer and dispute the charges. I haven't had to do it yet, but from what I've heard, they'll actually do the work for you as far as getting the money back, then the company making the charges has to prove that it's legit to get the money back. Also, there are many lawyers who work on a commission or "pay if we win" basis. If they feel that the case has merit, then they'll only take payment from the winnings. You may be able to include the lawyer fees in the suit itself, so that you get your $700 back, while the company has to pay for the lawyer you hired. You'd have to consult a lawyer on that though, since I'm not 100% certain of that. I say to pursue it, because if enough suits are filed, it could turn into a class action suit and could cause the Dish network to go under, or at the very least, come close enough to it that they stop performing criminal activities for fear of going out of business. The fact that you don't know how they got your account information says that you never signed up with them. That right there means that they had no reason to charge you for anything. I could see it if you had signed up for their service and they were charging for things that you didn't know cost or something, because then that becomes red tape on what is and isn't legit. But if you didn't even order the service, then the moment you called up, they should have refunded the charges and if it was a service someone ordered, it should have been sent to a fraud department so they could try to collect their fees from the actual subscriber. All in all though, consult a lawyer. You could end up with more than $700 from it.
