(...) I'm not accusing them, I am accusing their employers. Don't accuse me of characterising people when I have said absolutely nothing about anyone. It seems to me you are just using this thread as an excuse to namedrop. The Ambassadors program is (...) (19 years ago, 2-Sep-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) How many of those 30-40 Million people applied to be LEGO Ambassadors? Knowing the people who've made this selection, having met them in person (Jake, Steve, Jan), I seriously disagree with your characterization of them ignoring such a wide (...)

(...) I believe that I tried to point out the relativism of my usage of the word 'severe.' My sister is a Muslim, and my understanding above is directly related to my experience of how she expresses her faith in Islam. We often talk about the (...)

(...) Whereas I fundamentally agree with your words, the 'election platform' of the current president was that, if need be, he'd go 'toe to toe' with OPEC to keep gas prices low. As well, many republicans whined bitterly and blamed Bubba when he was (...) (19 years ago, 1-Sep-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Sorry... had to jump in. (...) Just let me point out here that 'severeity' is something relative. I don't see any problem with the 'severeity' that you refer to.

(...) Hi, Here (France) the price of gasoline is about $6.5 $/gallon (1.40 euros/l) and raising. I have a 45-50 miles (74 km) commute from home to the office (quite the same situation for my wife).

The price of gasoline here in the States has been too [@#$%&*] high all during Bush II's reign, and now (thanks to H. Katrina) they're getting higher! I've heard that Gov. Perdue (GA) has ordered gas stations to close tonight at 4:30pm here in (...) (19 years ago, 31-Aug-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
