LOL! $1,625!? Who the hell would give so much for something like that!? Maybe it's like you say, maybe I'm not clsasy enough to appreciate that shirt either, but I don't know, I certainly wouldn't buy it. Would YOU? Rips and tears in clothes are okay, but never like THAT! I mean, holy crap, I seriously hope this shirt is intended for men, because if a woman were to wear it, it would be kinda you know, embarrassing, don't you think? (BTW, is that a man or a woman on the pic? LOL). I mean, she might as well not wear anything at all and it would be pretty much the same thing, plus she would save the 1,625! Lol So you have clothes with tears and rips too? That's nice I didn't know you liked those kind of clothes. I'm sure yours actually do look GOOD and you can wear them pretty much anywhere, unlike that pricey rag there lol.
JFK stated ask not what your country can do for you but what can you do for your country
JFK, Stated ask not what CAN YOUR COUNTRY DO FOR YOU BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR FOR YOUR COUNTRY?
THATS THE DEFICIT QUESTION.
LETS START A DEBATE ON THIS PAGE- I challenge every railbupcen to bring actual facts to this discussion.Debate Material:- How low taxes and Low regulation are good for the economy.Please be advised:- If your answer is low taxes will let the job creators create jobs…. You are not smart enough to participate.
Dear Sanjay:
I am an English teacher in Cali Colombia (South America) and last week, I featured your story about Taylor Wilson in our English Conversation Club Facebook. Everything seemed to be working well until yesterday, when one of my students asked this: Where and how did he get radioactive stuff when he was only 14? (He refered to the fact that at the age of 14, this prodigious boy built a nuclear reactor.) I could only answer him this: " No idea. But if I run into him be sure I'll ask him about it." Now, I'd like to give him a more accurate answer. Any clue?
Although I cannot decide which one I like most, I can tell you why: My area of "expertise" is philosophy, for example, existentialism has many concepts but my favorite is one called Existence Precedes Essence meaning we are what we make ourselves out to be. Whether it be good or bad. Why can't Earth have more philosophical roots? We should follow this prime example of Humanity.
My hat goes off to Dr. Sanjay Gupta, his entire production crew, CNN and all of the featured people. This is the most inspiring TV show I've seen in years. I've been moved by more than a few of the honorees but watching the program about Simon Hauger, co-founder/teacher of the “Sustainability Workshop” school left me with goose bumps (literally covering my entire upper body). Thank you for doing what you are doing – keep up the incredible job and service you are providing especially to these young adults, but also for your local community, the country and globe at large. Great stuff!
Simon Hauger!!! I like the idea of keeping kids challenged to better our environment and keeping busy to stay out of trouble. Great blog!
why, you don't want to contribute athyning to your own life, do you, lol. You resent paying someone to deliver your baby? How will the doctor eat? Ah with the government paying, then you will not have to pay. Why is your life so elevated that others should be your slave? Are you a god or something. yeah, we should get a palanquin, and little slaves can run you around in it, and pay for everything, for you are so special
Oh, another geek writing equations on a window. How original.
Are you kidding me? 25 videos? Why not just write an article?

Hi.My daughter, Lucy was cared for by SCBU when she was born 10 weeks early in Jan '82. She was maerrid 2 weeks ago and we ran a sweepstake on the length of the speeches and would like to give you the proceeds. We have never forgotten the love and care she received and neither has Lucy! Without it she may never have been able to enjoy her very special day on 8th Aug.I will check your website to see about getting the money to you and will get back to you if I have any difficulty.Our best wishes,Sue and Alan Walton.
No list of fascinating people is complete without Sarah Palin. Having daughter Bristol on that same list would also be very appropriate.
@PALINTWIT,
they are talking about people with brains, not without1, leave silly idiots palin&co alone.
Oh Please.........Palin sure has one BIG EGO.......
There is nothing like a good toy. Tristan Eaton!
This is the best show on CNN, by far.
