I would like to apologize for tight-rolling my jeans and wearing lots of hypercolor shirts. It was wrong. I should have know it was wrong, but I was young and decieved by my peers into thinking it was cool. I can no longer call myself a victim of fashion, but have to take personal responibility for my own mistakes. I would appreciate your forgiveness.

Oh, and sorry for the Max Headroom and Spuds MacKenzie t-shirts too!

Dorian,

I got a call from the Kidney Foundation today asking about donations of ANY clothing. Why don’t you call them and donate your JAMS shorts and shirts?

I want someone to apologize for fashion in the 80s. Do any of you people know how many pairs of parachute pants I owned? Plenty. Also, I had one of them stupid red leather jackets with all the zippers. My mom had poofy hair. I still have nightmares. Also, what about the music? Did we really need Falco and A-HA? I think not.

The only good things to come out of the 80s was the A-Team and Hulkamania. It’s still running wild, by the way. Also, I have a closet full of f*cking JAMS shorts and shirts that I couldn’t give away on ebay. Who can I sue about that?

When my great-great-great grandfather, Hamilton Shepherd, visited Atlanta in 1864 with the rest of his buddies in the Indiana 59th, they made sure Georgia apologized for slavery, just like they had done in Missouri, Mississippi, and Tennessee, and like they were planning on doing soon in South Carolina.

Ok!! enough is enough; I know I for one am sick and tired of hearing about an apology to the blacks for slavery. What about the Americian Indian; they were slaughtered and driven from the land and put on reservations and starved and submitted to humiliations way beyond blacks in slavery. If they don’t like it let them go back to Africa where their own people are the ones that sold them into slavery for a hand full of glass beads and a bag of salt. Don’t blame the state of Georgia or any other state, blame your own anstors for this slight on your state of being.

John,

I don’t think you are truly sorry. In order to be “truly sorry,” you must be willing to go out and purchase 40 acres of land, get a mule, go to the NAACP, and tell them you have something to give them.

If you are not willing to do these little things, then you are just pandering.

I AM SORRY. Ok now how is anything different now? Did I create any jobs? Did I solve the drop out problem in schools? Are gas prices cheaper? Is the dollar coming back? Have we solved the problems in Iraq?…………..

This is what both parties want a debate about nothing that has anything to do with dealing with any real issues!

After figuring out some of Soulja Boy’s lyrics courtesy of the Marta Granny Beatdown thread, reading that is quite refreshing.

Anyone think they can put it to a beat that UGA linemen can dance to?

Seven-fifty once a week,
They pay me seven-fifty once a week.
You see me walking tall
Down at the shopping mall,
‘Cause I’m makin’ seven-fifty once a week.

Now every Monday morning when I get my pay
I feel very rich indeed.
I got a pocket full of money
I can spend each day
So I can pay for all the stuff I need..

I got a great start,
But here’s the hard part,
I got to plan for every expense.

‘Cause every nickel counts,
When your entire allowance
Is only seven dollars, fifty cents.

But I do like to live it up! Every day after lunch at school, I treat myself to an ice cream sandwich. At fifty cents apiece, that comes to two and a half dollars every week. But that’s ok, I got five dollars left. I’m still ahead of the game. I start with…

Seven-fifty at the top.
My favorite bubble gum is sixty cents a pop.
I’ve got to choose and plan,
And do the best I can,
I think I’m gonna have to learn to shop
By just comparing prices I can save a lot.

I spent two dollars for a bite to eat.
This chicken enchilada really hits the spot,
But it’s on sale for fifty cents across the street.

Now I would like to try a slice of pizza pie.
But I am high and dry.
It’s no joke.
I should have planned ahead.
I spent it all instead.

My allowance is gone,
And I am broke.

When you get seven-fifty once a week,
Sometimes the situation seems a little bleak,
‘Cause it’s a drag at the mall
When you got no cash at all;

You’re down the tube,
You’re up the creek.

Well there goes my allowance.
I didn’t plan ahead.
I made some bad choices, and I compared prices too late.
I guess I’ll have to find a way to earn some more.
But that shouldn’t be too hard.
Maybe I can do an extra household chore;
Like wash the car,
Or mop the floor,
Or maybe help clean up the back yard.

I’ll get my spending plan,
I’ll get my shopping done
And still have cash on hand,
That I can spend…On fun!

I still get seven-fifty once a week.
But now I learned some money management technique.
And I can save enough
To buy some real cool stuff.
And I made my little fortune so to speak,
On only seven-fifty, once a week.
That’s my allowance.
Seven-fifty once a week.

I balanced my budget!

“Focus your attention on ring number three.
The Judiciary’s in the spotlight.
The courts take the law and they tame the crimes
Balancing the wrongs with your rights.

No one part can be
more powerful than any other is.
Each controls the other you see,
and that’s what we call checks and balances.”

“The law was overturned by the USSC in either 1967 or 1968.”

Damn activist Judges. The Court should have let the legislature legislate, and the Court should do….um….well….what is it the courts are supposed to do?

“should consider that in some southern states today it’s still written law that Blacks and Whites cannot be married.”

The law was overturned by the USSC in either 1967 or 1968. So, though bumble-f*ck Southern states may (I don’t know, I’m taking YOUR word for it) have the laws on their books, the law is unenforceable.
