Right and there's a guy I knew in college who believes in Eugenics and white supremacy and used to spout the exact same line of bull this woman does. Why would someone promote racist theories on a blog like Neatorama? And then for the racists to come out of the woodwork and agree with her?
Get a grip people, Eugenics was popular in Hitler's time, it's totally discredited in 2007. She's wrong. You're wrong. Eugenics is wrong.
a friend claimed he had dinner at a bedouin party celebrating a major electrical facility where they served a camel stuffed with a sheep stuffed with a goat stuffed with several other animals going down to a hardboiled egg. He never got a good accounting of this dish. Does anyone know what it's called?
The writers do not get a minimum of $30k per week and "per week" is in real terms, not like our salaries.
I don't know exactly what a friend of mine got paid for an episode he wrote for the Cartoon Network, but it took him a solid month to write with rewrites and he got one check for it, plus residuals. If he got paid $30k, which isn't bad, it was $30k to write that episode, not $30k per week while writing the episode.
Either way this term "per week" is incorrect.
---- No one has so far countered my suggestion that if they want the upside, then they have to share the downside, i.e. they don’t get paid or even have to pay up if the movie flops. ---- I'll counter it- a friend optioned several of his scripts for WGA minimums plus more money when the films get made. Ten years later none of his films have been made and he has a different career because he can't make money writing.
Umm... the statue has been promised to another location and they will be moving it. As a DC resident, I want to mention that this statue is just about the corniest bad art we have in public. It's the statue all the junior high tour groups visit where the kids are like, "dude, this is awesome" but even more so, when I've been down there I've seen at least 4 or 5 young interns try to impress out of town girlfriends by saying that "like, you know, you have to be a real DC resident to find out about this statue, you know, this isn't in the guidebooks." Isn't in the guidebooks? This is the one statue every kid goes to that they think is cool that adults can't stand because the art is so crappy!
The law is the law. The contract specifically states they can’t do that, so what’s he big deal? Abide by the law. ------
what if the contract isn't legal? When I investigated my house history I found in the 1940s there was a restrictive covenant saying the owners weren't allowed to sell the house to Jews or African-Americans- that was a signed contract that's illegal.
I was interested in adopting a parrot with my mother 2 years ago. We wanted an older parrot who would be trained, but because my mother is older, we didn't want a parrot that might outlive her. The first thing the adoption people said was that my mother was too old to own a parrot and they refused to talk to her. I explained that was illegal age discrimination and they said that they didn't have to follow any rules regarding discrimination. I asked to speak to the head of the group and in my conversation with her, I reminded her that they MUST follow age discrimination rules. She reiterated that old people should not own parrots but she might make a "Special case" for my mother. I refused to deal with her.
The idea that kids can't be around puppies is nothing short of illegal discrimination. Of course a large percentage of us, including myself, had puppies as kids and the puppies were our companions and good friends.
Mutts and Moms is wrong and they deserve everything they created for themselves. They're guilty guilty guilty!
I would NEVER deal with a restrictive pet adoption group and neither should you.
Yeah "door blew off the plane?" That is an incorrect way to describe anything like that. Even soviet-era plane doors opened inward. I smell a pathological liar.
One last note, why is it that foreign students “bring up” the quality of our schools? Maybe it’s because the US gets to cherry pick the best and brightest from around the world while the student’s government picks up the entire bill. -------
Not true in any case I know. purely anecdotal. I know many many foreign students and they're all the sons and daughters of factory owners and lawyers. I recruit for my company's IT department and I'm serious, these kids are the progeny of the Donald Trump of the Ukraine or the Hilton Family of Bangladesh
I already posted this story online, but I know three families who did this and every single one of them was really angry that their NEIGHBORHOOD changed and were overall, not happy that office workers stared into their garden nor that their backyard was surrounded by a parking lot. What she wants is gone, so the question still remains: why did she stay when the neighborhood is gone?
stubbornness and certainly not logic. She will turn around in her kitchen and look straight into the eyes of someone bored at a desk 25 feet away and scream about her big mistake.

uhhh... no one above you went "batty." you made that all up in your head.
