Yea! I passed 300 posts tonight and didn't realize until now!

I know, that's not that many compared to most, but it's a lot for me!

More posts like this will get your count up. Mine too. :evilgrin:

so very funny. The one to which I am refering also said to reply to each and every reply you receive, so how is this going to end? Who has more time on their hands? ;-)

Hmmmmm.

This maybe be the longest thread on DU? Probably not.
Longest thread by two people? Again probably not.

I can't search yet. I'll be donating soon.

I must get sleep sometime today, so if you will tolerate a few hours break, we can keep it going as long as you like. Ask me anything.

Some of the 9/11 threads were 300-400 posts long. Slow to load even on high speed.

we should be in that group.

as spongebob would say; I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready!

actually I'm not ready. My vision is blurring from lack of sleep. Let's take a break and come back to it later, K?

and possibly solve the world's problems at the same time.

Worlds problems... Worlds problems.... How about putting Fluoride in the Iraqi water supply because the dentists there are mostly out of business. Think that would help them?

are you saying that the dentists are out of work because everyone's teeth are in such good condition, since flouride hasn't been added to the water?

I do know flouride causes teeth to be white by 'burning' the enamel, my whole family has different degrees of burns ranging from very very white spots to beige, to brown; due to unpurified flouride in our water supply.

another world problem: Should the Spanish return all the gold they stole from Mexico? It's mostly in statue or decorative form in churches throughout Spain, I think.

That because of some disagreement or something over there, the people can't get get in to see the dentists and fluoride in the water would help prevent cavities.
To much fluoride can be a problem also.

As for the gold, that's a toughly. Why am I not surprised that churches are utilizing stolen gold? How much of that gold is in various types of irreplaceable types of art? If it were in ingot form, yes, return it.

That would probably help a lot, unless the water doesn't work at all. I hear that's a big problem too, no utilities. We are really helping out there, aren't we?

I agree with the gold thing. It was interesting to go to one with a bunch of people from Mexico. They were pretty somber and mentioned to me that it was hard to accept the beauty as-is, since they knew how the gold was obtained. I don't think anyone has ever tried to get them to return it.

I got a few hrs of sleep, then had to pick up the DH, I gotta get a nap in or I will go insane. Catch you later today.

For your ponderment: Fund raisers, such as gala's and the like to raise money for cancer; why not give all the money directly to the charity, rather than spending it on decorations, food, pomp, and circumstance? Will people really donate more if you make them feel exclusive?

Look at who does fund raisers like this. It's the movers and shakers in the community. And who might they be? Mostly business owners and upper management. They use fund raisers for networking. Now, what mind set would do this? Why right wingers of course. I know because I have attended a few. It is a good way to raise money, but there are expences... And I hear it is tax deductable also.

nt

A few people in my family attended a Gala for cancer, $200 a plate. It irritated me. My Grandmother died almost a year ago and her oldest daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer in Feb, and is considered a survivor at this point. I cannot understand why they didn't just give the money directly to a fundraiser that puts the money to immediate use without all the hoopla. out of five, three of them voted for Bush. two for Kerry. Two of the Bush voters had previously voted Democrat. (switched because 2003 was the first year they ever did not have to pay on April 15 - like that was good critical thinking!)

Hmmmm.

:toast:

for the longest thread by two people. :spank:

ME! My bad! I won't be playing with you anymore!

Plus, I've seen longer, so there!:silly:

You might as well stick around and help. :P

Just let me know what I can do!

:silly:

:D

:evilgrin:

you little bitch


ALERT!

:evilgrin:

a little bitch before!:evilgrin:

nahnahnahnah I can't hear you!!!!!!

BRING IT ON

:evilgrin:

is trying to invite himself to our home!

MOMMY!

WHERE ARE YOU??

MOMMY!!







you big pile of doodoo... stop scurring me.

:evilgrin:

D'oh!

I guess it can be the longest thread about someone passing 300 posts, pick a milestone, and this thread may get you there! Just respond to each and every reply, but you must include a reasonable question that might solve the world's problems.

Question for you: How might one create mass awareness and action for the plight of the Sudanese?

anything about. I have heard more about the Sudanese than some others...

I'd love to have something compelling to talk about. I'd also love to have the chance to see if I can help.

Checnya deserves more airtime as well. Even in Egypt (I'm 50% Egyptian Moslem) the persecution of Coptics (Christians) and some women is horrendous.


But hey, the Scott Peterson trial is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much more important, so I understand what the MSM is doing... :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

go fleabert
inflate your post count
go fleabert

:toast:

please partake of the inflate your post count thread...

Question: How does one talk about Voter Fraud with a moderate without sounding like a conspiracy theorist?

everything like that off... perhaps the best way is to show them the evidence that we have.

most of what we have takes time to peruse and ingest. Do you think there's a way to condense the 'story' into a Reader's Digest format that people are more likely to consume? and I know that unless I printed it all off and made a huge handout, i wouldn't have anything. I need a one paragraph tale of woe! One that is comepelling and doesn't sound reactionary or CT. I don't think I am smart enought or learned enough to do it, because I sounded like an alien abductee today at the store when the clerk complained about Bush winning and I said, 'well, IF he actually won, which I don't believe.' what followed was jumbled and weird.

Maybe it's just me, but maybe that's why the MM hasn't pounced on this.

have struggled with this.

Any other opinions, from anyone?

fleabert's a pretty cool cat.

I just looked at my own, and ILL be dad gum, i am over three hundred as well. and have probably not offered an iota of anything new or thought provoking.
color me..average!

congrats to you!

but it hasn't! It's been harder to stop posting sometimes.

How about partaking in the creation of a long long thread meant only to up post count and solve all of the world's problems?

Q: How do we get them to love us, when they hate us so much?

Let's get you up even further, with substance:

What is your take on how to revamp the legal system so that we can do away with the death penalty; and conservatives will jump on board?
