Sound Off! (Dec. 18)

<quoted text>That is still unacceptable. Teachers are there to educate, not exacerbate idiocy and ignorance. That is not enough mercury to do anything. Hell, I probably lose that much just synchronizing the carbs on my bike, since every once in a while a tiny bit gets sucked into the engine form the gauge. And if it was a compact flo bulb, there is almost no mercury in it.

Has anyone called Zia and talked to someone in charge there?

In response to the caller complaining about our government not warning U.S. citizens to stay out of Juarez...why do you need anyone to warn you to stay away from a blood bath??? Seriously, since when do we need to be told the obvious? Do you want someone else to do everything for you? Get a brain!

I agree. Plus, there have been warnings to stay out. Active duty military have been told not to go. That, and the daily news on the violence, should be warning enough, I think.

I've got three Fords....a '41 9N flathead-4 tractor that still runs pretty well (no doubt pre-union!), a a '94 F-350 (running great at <100k), and '90 F-150 that's recently broken down (transmission problem).
I drive a Mitsubishi Mighty Max back & forth to work every day. I bought it new in '91 for somewhere around $10k. I would have preferred a Chevy, but couldn't afford it. Been driving that that truck ever since, and I just passed 330,000 miles.
I've replaced one clutch, some brake pads & shoes, a fuel pump, a few batteries and a whole lotta tires.
I'm just sayin'......

I/we had a Ford too...

We watered and watered him...

But alas, Gerald died....

Bummer!

No need for people to go to mexico. Mexico is moving here just go to Anthony, NM or Canutillo, Tx. Most of the business signs are in spanish and english is a no-no.
People do have to be told not to do things. Because we have become a society of complete irresponsible idiots. Remember, McDonalds coffee and the old lady that sued them.

"You people wonder why the economy is in the tanker. It is because 3 out of 5 cars (look around when your driving) are Japanese. We are buying foreign products. Don't tell me that just because they are made in the U.S. are okay. That bologna! The profit from the car goes back to Tokyo or South Korea. Your fooling yourselves people. Start buying American made vehicles."
Another stupid comment. When will you people crawl back under your rocks and stay there!!! Soon, I hope!

Ho-ho-ho... does this sound like Father Xmas? The time of the proteccionism is over. Frontiers are broken and good products must be delivered to the people. You do have the option to buy what you want. If you go with ideas like that think about the way back. American products being rejected or neglected in other countries.

BTW, it's time for a good propaganda... how about buying free-slave and responsible products instead of buying anything? That would make more sense AND it would help to make this world a better place to live.

Hey, BS, here I am!!! BTW 2, I'm missing Michael !!!

The Sun News should have it in headlines "Don't go to Mexico"! This place is worse than Iraq right now.
Ya think?

I don't. It all depends upon where you go and what you do. Any place in the world is not safe, for God's sake. As I'm reading all the news here, I can see it's not safe being in New Mexico (can imagina the Old one ;-)).

If you consider extreme situations, it's not safe for North Americans go almost anywhere (and that works good for English people as well).

Good morning! How ya be? I was just thinking of going to gmail & emailing you, since my main squeeze stood me up. ;-) As for the Freudian slip... yeah, now I know what you really think: you think SB is bull of BS! ;-)) I read between the lines... lol. Hey, you noticed I don't deny it, right? Reason being is that we all are at one time or another. I'll talk to you in a bit, so check your email in a while. Good day!~SB

About testing scores at DACC nursing program: The lowest score that DACC nursing students can get on any test to pass it is 79% which is the highest minimum score within the entire NMSU university and branch college system. In calculating grades for the entire course, test scores count for 80% of the grade. No other work is counted until test scores average a minimum of 79%.

I didn't mean your being hard core as an insult or anything like that... just meant that you've got moxie! Besides I think everyone can use a deviation from the drama from earlier on the other three threads.

So you see why I stayed out of it! At least I only work until noon today!

On the contrary, we should send a bunch of active duty military down there, fully armed and equipped. Rules of engagement, shoot on sight to kill.

Well, wait until after the Final Four in April. I am quite sure I'll cross the river from Detroit to go see some of their better 'students' on the Canuckster side...

I can't say I blame you for staying out of it...you were smart as was Shroom. Two geniuses you be. ;-) Ok I'll quit with Yoda. Half-day, nice! So what are you going to do with the rest? Or do I even have to guess much? Well if I hear back from NJ soon, we might go do lunch up at Brigid's. I love the bar area, it's cozy & quaint. They make a great Bloody Mary...hmmmm. I know they have some good brewskies too, as per my two sidekicks. ;-) Let me know what's up...~SB

With all due respect G1, what you say is not entirely correct. Yes, the world is full of dangerious places and juarex, is certainly one of the most dangerious ones, but I have travled to both France and Italy in the past year and found the folks warm and friendly, as usual. I have visited several western and eastern European countries over the past 5-6 years and found the same to be true. My motto, is "if you treat people with respect and courtesy, you will get that back in turn.

On the other hand, what is happening in juarez, is simply rival gangs killing each other for control of a multi-billion dollar business in drugs and prostitution. The propensity for beng in the wrong place at the wronf time in jusrez, is simly much great, as it would be in say Iraq, or Iran, where rival factions too, are competing for control of the countries and are perfectly willing to kill t get it!

Hope tat explains my POV. Have a terriffic weekend and stay away from "hot spots", like these!!

<quoted text>Well, he/she has a point. Rap is not music, and it takes zero talent of any kind.

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you ToS! While I am certainly not a fan of rap, it is indeed a form of music, in my opinion. Actually, I have heard a few rap songs that are actually pleasant to my ear, so again, it is indeed music, just different strokes my friend!

I agree. But since we can't do that, and since most of them go there to party, they have been told to saty out. I do like your idea, though.

We used to make quarterly visits to Juarez to pick up medication for the in-laws.

Things got rough and we started going to Palomas every 6 months.

Things started getting rough and we started going to Sam's Club for 3 months of medication for $10. We have to cough up the difference in costs.

Must better than a HIGH SPEED LEAD INJECTION that so many have suffered lately in Mexico.
