The hypocrisy is that Edwards routinely treats himself to $400 haircuts and owns several mansions. Moreover, he got his wealth by putting good doctors out of business with junk lawsuits. According to his barber, the cut was more like $1200.....But that's beside the point....I could care less. If that's the way he wants to spend his money, then that's his business. I just don't like him wanting to steal my money away from me and give it to his charitable institutions. I can do that very well myself, thanks. In the final analysis, Robin Hood was no more than a thief. The fact that he gave his stolen money to his favorite charity doesn't make him any the less a thief. When I was young my father told me to save 10% of everything I earned, and I would always be independent and comfortable. So I did, and I was able to retire a millionaire (or close to it) at 61. Now, people like Ralph Nadir and Hillary and John Edwards want to steal my money away from me and give it to the grasshoppers who laughed at the ants and fiddled away all Summer. They are now talking about universal health care....Why do I pay over $700 a month for my (and my family's) health care? Why would I want my government to steal my tax dollars and buy health care for the grasshoppers? My father would be rolling over in his grave if he knew. Should I go to where he is buried and say, "You were wrong dad. I should have spent every cent I ever earned on fast cars and booze and women, because today the grasshoppers are at the door, and when I opened it a crack Hillary stuck her foot in it and is making me pay for them! Nadir wants all my estate to revert to the government when I die......He doesn't want me to leave any of it for my children....But those children were the ones who had to go with less because I was saving that 10% of my salary while they were growing up. They had to do without those designer Jeans that the other kids were wearing, and they had to ride around in my 10 year old jalopy while their classmates were riding in new Porsches and MB's. Now, when I die, they are the ones who deserve to inherit the balance of my estate, and not the government, who will blow it away on trips to the moon and other boondoggles. But I don't know how to tell Ralph Nadir this.....I don't get the chance to talk to the likes of him. And. when I see him on TV, the other people who talk to him don't say what I want to say to him. I am sick of standing up in the middle of my living room floor and screaming at the TV.....(My wife is pretty sick of it too.....:^) |

Per Matthew:
Here we go again another newbie starts a thread. Someone says keep your cats in or out Similar to "Helmet" threads in rec.bicycles.tech.... They go on and on and on..... and after you read a few, you recognize each point in every following thread. -- PeteCresswell |

"William Graham" wrote in message ... "Matthew" wrote in message ... Here we go again another newbie starts a thread. Someone says keep your cats in or out and this BS debate of inside or out starts again. And all of you jump on the band wagon it is getting pretty pathetic that you all do this. And now with the cross posting it gets even worse. Would you all get over it People over seas have a different view point you will never change it. People here have a different view point you will never change it. You can't debate or even discuss it rational as past threads and this one have proven time and time again. You all ended up acting like how do the British say it a bunch of *******. It isn't a British/American thing....It's a city/residential/rural thing....There are some places where you just can't keep cats outside, and other places where it would be foolish to keep them inside. (see my post above) Both you and me and a few others William know it is a matter of location, choice. I may not believe in it but I know better than to try and convince someone not to do it or to do it. They will do what they want no matter what. We used to have barn cats when I was on the farm; where my nearest neighbor was 2 miles away there was no road traffic, no predators. There I had no problem with the cats being out. Here where I am with multiple predators, cars and other dangers close there is no way they would be out. That is my choice |

You all ended up acting like how do the British say it a bunch of *******. i didn't say a word about that! just about putting collars on cats, which i am opposed to fro several reasons, but i am sure someone will argue against me about it. i can't be arsed with getting into that tedious debate again; I am never going to change your mind and you are never to change mine no matter much we rant on, so we have to agree to disagree. Bookie, you goddamn liar, you posted about this less than 8 hours ago... "keeping them captive indoors is against their nature you dumbo" Message-ID: . com You are an outdoor cat militant. I only hope your cats don't have to pay the ultimate price for your wrong-headed view of this subject. Charlie you m,ake it sound like I make them live outdoors with no access to the indoors, totally incorrect, i just give them the choice and I leave the back door open whenever i am in.mostly they stay indoors where the soft cushions and the food is, sometimes they go to sunbathe outside and to check out their territory (our tiny back garden) but i like to give them the choice. i would rather they were able to go outside and exoperience a bit of nature than go stir crazy indoors. Yes, you've explained your opinion before. My point is that you are a chronic instigator on this subject, despite your protest to the contrary. Charlie |

Here where I am with multiple predators, cars and other dangers close there is no way they would be out. That is my choice Exactly. And, I respect that choice. That's why the argument is ridiculous....It depends on the circumstances......If you lived on a farm, even your dogs would probably run free. It is also, in some respects a matter of convenience....We can leave the house for a week or more, and as long as we leave them enough food and water, our cats will be sleeping in the same spot we left them a week ago when we get back home. We don't have to arrange for boarding or anything that one would have to do for animals that are more dependent on people. If we were killed on the road, all of our cats would eventually drift to the neighbor's houses and survive easily......(Our neighbors already know them very well) |

"Baldoni @googlemail.com" baldoniXXVnil wrote in message I have never seen a cat on a motorway in my life, and I have spent a lot of time driving on them. They are too damn noisy for one thing. Cats don't like motorways, but they sometimes have to cross them in order to get where they are going....If the speed limit is 25 mph or less, the cats seldom have any problem with this.....It's when the teenagers are doing 40 in a 25 zone that the problems occur. Cats can't conceive of anything that goes that fast, and don't know how to avoid it...... I think we may use the same word for a different meaning as is common with the English spoken in the UK and in America. Our motorways are similar to a freeway or turnpike. The maximum speed limit is 70mph though many go faster and the slowest anyone goes is about 50mph which is considered way to slow. The cat must have some important business if it wants to go across there. I tried once in the evening and it was hard work. :-) -- Count Baldoni |
