Lendingmaestro: He runs a chain of profitable kool-aid stands. Business is booming on this board.

I'm surprised that no one thought that it was April 1st today before firing off their well-wishes. I thought this was a board of kool-aid avoiding skeptics.

<em>"Are the people on this blog so rich and live such lavish lives that they look down upon UCI?" </em>Well, it does seem like we have a lot of Trojans on this board... =P. I'm pretty sure it would physically hurt their innards if they don't append "Fight On" to the end of their...

<em>"I have seen this misunderstanding on several threads; Woodbury kids do NOT go to Northwood HS; they go to Irvine HS. One big reason I can't see myself ever buying in WB." </em>The disparity between the quality of the "upper echelon" high schools (Northwood and Uni) vs the "lower...

I deliberately chose those analogies to: 1. Show the absurdity of those statements, particularly: "just because some people disagreed with that decision with at the time does not mean it was the wrong decision at the time." No, movingaround, it was <strong>flat out wrong</strong>...

<p><strong>movingaround: </strong><em> </em></p> <p><em>hindsight is 20/20 </em></p> <p><em>the fact is - regardless of whether many people in this country have enough intelligence in thier little brains to accept it - there were a lot of reasons to go to war - and there were a lot of...

The fundamental point of disagreement boils down to simply: You think racism will be a minor factor in affecting whether or not Obama gets elected president assuming he is the Democratic nominee. I think racism will be a major factor in affecting whether or not Obama gets elected...

<strong>Skek:</strong> <em>"So you are citing the views of a HB skinhead as ... as what, exactly? An example of Republican politics? There is no one on this board who is going to tell you that the United States of America doesn't have a single racist left in it. But that's a pretty extreme straw...

I'm willing to bet that most posters here who think America has moved past racism are whites who have never lived in the South or poor neighborhoods. It's hard for people to fathom that racism is alive and well in America if they never experienced it firsthand. There was a...

<em>I do not understand people who say that Obama is not legit because he speaks too well. We can always have Bush again. </em>Ever see the movie Idiocracy by Mike Judge? It was about a dystopian society in the future that resulted from natural selection favoring all the idiots (who bred...

Priced_Out_IT_Guy, Maybe you were in so much pain that you missed the first two paragraphs and the context of my post. I'm a pessimist and a skeptic, first and foremost. A bigot and racist? Well, I won't deny that either since I believe all people are bigoted and racist to some degree...

<em>Playing the fear card and implying not voting for Obama or Clinton means you're racist. Yes racist because you're not voting for them because you're closet afraid of them. As for Obama, I won't vote for him unless he changes and has a plan instead of just idealistic words. I really...

<em>The issue of Black and White is meaningless. I watched his speech about race the other day. Classic line when he mentioned his White Grandmother using racial epitaphs. The race issue is almost the same watching someone like Tiger Woods. He has transended the subject of race and with his...

While I "hope" Barack can become the next president, I don't think the majority of the American people as a whole is ready to accept a black president, much less a black president with a <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/02/28/MNKGVABG8.DTL">Muslim sounding name</a>...

<em>One thing about grade inflation - It always peeves me when I hear about grade inflation. If 90% of the people at a school were valedictorians or straight A students, don't you think it makes sense that the average GPA will be much higher than a state school? </em>It makes sense only...

Congrats on your sister getting into Stanford and UCLA undergrad. My younger sister was in a similar situation 6 years ago - deciding between Stanford and UCSD. She got into the other UCs and some other private schools, but she wanted to do BioEngineering so it was down to Stanford's name or...

Tulip, where is that text from? Realtor's law or something? So a "cause of action" (justification for suing?) can be made if the undisclosed death was within the past 3 years, provided that it isn't from HIV?
