How surprising, turning this into another President bash. Grow up and get over it. The thread is about quotes, not boring American politics. Please stop it. Or make a thread about American politics and leave yourselves to play there, ok?

now back to the real topic of the thread

The easiest job in the world has to be coroner. Surgery on dead people. What's the worst thing that could happen? If everything went wrong, maybe you'd get a pulse
Dennis Miller (quoted in Underground Humour 1997)

 

[Contratrombone64]

LOL @ margaret - that's macabre and quite funny! Eeeeiiikkk. A pulse!

There is only one thing more painful from learning from experience and that is not learning from experience.
---Archibald McLeish

 

[marval]

Not sure I would want to be a coroner, it is a bit of a dead end job.


Perhaps the best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time

Quotes on sin:

“The Roots of Violence: Wealth without work, Pleasure without conscience, Knowledge without character, Commerce without morality, Science without humanity, Worship without sacrifice, Politics without principles”. Mahatma Gandhi quotes (Indian Philosopher, internationally esteemed for his doctrine of nonviolent protest, 1869-1948)

For CT64 the quote: "We will never negotiate with terrorists", by the former actor and former Republican President of the USA, Ronald Reagan.

Comments by Lawrence Brown www.capecodtimes.com June 06, 2008, quote:

"First, let's understand that the United States has negotiated with terrorists since we negotiated a treaty with the Barbary Pirates, backed up by force, for unmolested passage on the high seas. When President Carter tried to quietly negotiate with Iran to free the hostages, rival candidate Ronald Reagan blew the whistle on the discussions crying shame, shame. He'd never negotiate with terrorists. So Reagan got the job and then — to finance covert operations against Nicaragua (made illegal in the Boland amendment) — he secretly sold Hawk anti-aircraft missiles to Iran. Remember the Iran/Contra scandal?", end of quote.

[Krummhorn]

You know, when he was elected on his first four years he did a good job defending this country after 9-11. I know that he has made mistakes because he's only human like the rest of us. I would hate to see what this country would be like if I was president. But this last year he has made some real blunders. It's time to forgive the guy but at the same time realize that his days are numbered in the White House until after
Election day.
I just hope we get a good one the next time. I don't
really support him in all that he does. But I still pray for him that he
won't make the wrong decisions. You don't live in the USA like I do
and see what goes on everyday. It is not just him. Everytime you
get a president from the south there is a struggle because many of
the senate and congress are from the north and are a bit stiffnecked.
That's the problem. Not the President.

I quite agree ... this is not a political thread, nor the forum area for such discussion - please take that rhetoric to the Open Debate forum area. Also, as a reminder folks, posting multiple posts in a row is to be avoided as much as possible ... they will be merged and when that happens, post counts will be re-adjusted because of that effect.

Thanks :tiphat:

now back to the real topic of the thread

Amen, CT64 :cheers:

[JLS]

"Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man."

- Bertrand Russell
