  1. Thanks rendie, and may the Luck of the Irish be with you on this fine day and all others. Any holiday that promotes blarney, beer, and corned beef is a winner IMO.
  2. Please alert us if you find a post meant to provoke political exchanges. Thanks.
  3. Thank you for your opinion about Obama but this isn't the place for it. This post violates our policy against political opinion posts designed to elicit an exchange of political opinons. Please take it to another site. Unfortuately, leaving this post live only invites other poltical responses so I will close it. If you wish to carry on a discussion about our policy then start a new thread.
  4. Your 'missing' thread was was not a current event postings It soley meant to provoke a political discussion. Let me refresh your memory about our political discussions policy reiterated at the bottom of the thread: http://www.maleescortreview.com/forum/inde...?showtopic=3362 and copied here... Surprisingly, we were able to navigate the Presidential Nomination and Election Season without running off the rails of civil discussion. It seems that forebearance has run out. This thread with it's childish and personal attacks is the perfect example of why political discussions generally are frowned upon. With the Season of Civility at an end so is our tolerance of political discussions. Too bad, as policy discussions without personal attacks can be interesting. Current events postings without opinions serve an informative function and remain welcome.
  5. We do not have a review for him. He does have a profile: http://www.maleescortreview.com/106080564/ with last login 9/07. It looks as if his website may not have been updated recently either.
  6. Thanks for the interesting op ed. Beyond the read, it only invites opinion exchange. Thus we will leave it as a read only.
  7. This is an opinion piece, inviting other opinions.

  9. I have no knowledge of two other threads regarding Rush being removed.
  10. Why sould you do that? On the other hand why would you walk into a room with your elbows out ready for harsh contact? This may be your internet but it is my Pub and brawls aren't tolerated. It breaks the furniture and gets me out of sorts. So let's ALL of us keep our elbows in and be civil, if not sociable.
  11. I'm quite conflicted about the death penalty, in general. My gut says: an eye for an eye in the absence of extenuating circumstances. My concern is that the correct eye is forfeited. Better the guilty see than the innocent be made blind. However, in this case it seems they have their man.
  12. Guess it was a slow day at the ranch?
  13. Ditto. Loved Jackman and the new presentation formats. Overall great job. Only one big negative for me... Best Original Song. Zero for three.
  14. Interesting and suprising, for me, read. Thanks Adam.
  15. TY ... If it's not too much bother can you post these to it? thanks! Tom Oz, You can find him working at Club 117 when you go there, he just doesn't have the blonde highlights anymore! Here are a couple of others that work there you might like!
  16. At best this is some brain dead attempt at political humor that is totally insensitive to bigger social and political issues. At worst, it throws red meat to hate mongers with potential incitement to violence to our national psyche. There actually are crazies out there who could see themselves as martyrsaviors stepping up to save America from itself. One thing is sure. The editorial dept is totally irresponsible as a leader of public conversation and has no business making editorial decisions. IMO, the Managing Editor and cartoonist ought to be offered slots in the mail room or fired. Maybe other heads should roll but I'm unsure without additional information.
  17. AU contraire monsieur. You most definitely have a type --> smokin'. Everyone is a winner!!
  18. The short answer is yes -- many times counting from the earliest days. Their tenure has been marked by the irreverent and plain bad taste often as well as some very funny humor occasionally. Nothing new here really. Neither is the outrage. It's all in the eye of the beholder. Yes, it is sick humor. Some people love it others don't. I'll let the show and the network police itself, when I'm not. After all I have an off switch and channel selector. They get plenty of heat from viewers and sponsors. Last thing we need is a third party nanny saying what is funny and what isn't and what is acceptable and what isn't. If the show doesn't attract viewers and sponsors it won't be around long. That's one view anyway.
  19. At least one of the principles has no knowledge of this lunch. I'm locking this on the suspicion that the above post is an attempt at trolling to have some fun at the expense of other members. That is not the purpose of our forums. Read the policy.
  20. Don't miss this in the Latin American Forum.
  21. Tom, again thanks for your very generous sharing...
