This morning (1-18-2007) Bay Area radio reporting that the \”residential hotel\” occupant was burned by another source, (crackpipe maybe?) and cell telephone company technicians found the phone in working order even after being burned.
The burn victim has a heavyweight Hollywood lawyer and you can bet the ranch that Nokia will have a harder time convincing her.
Nokia may be off the hook with fire officials, but a heavyweight personal-injury lawyer has her hooks into them now and won\’t be so easily convinced that the phone wasn\’t at fault. Press conference today.
I agree, definitely a crack pipe in this case. Of coure it doesn\’t matter what started the fire nor does it matter what the result of the investigation will be, Nokia will have to pay out something because of the ambulance chaser that is \”assisting\” the poor \”victim\”. Civil suits are a total joke.
Again, I have to agree. What\’s the point of civil suits anyway. As a matter of fact, I think we should return to a kinder, gentler time when, if someone did you wrong, you just bashed their head in with a shovel.
I remember, not so long ago, Nancy Pelosi coming to town stumping for Chris Carney. She said, the President needs to send more troops to Iraq becasue the current levels are not high enough to support the mission. Vote for Chris Carney.
Now, OH MY GOD, we don\’t need more troops over there… Nancy Pelosi\’s current position (I added the GOD part even though Liberals believe they are the only gods worth worshiping).
My fleeting memory also takes me back to, \”I voted for the $87 billion before I voted against the $87 billion.\”
Hey Bull, just so you know, the argument wasn\’t to send additional troops now, it was to send additional troops at the beginning before there was a civil war.
Also, with your usual Democrat bashing, you missed that many in your own party have \”flip-flopped\” on the war issue. I love when you guys get these little buzz words in your head, and then can\’t get them out for years. You\’ll have to email the current talking points memo so I can prepare myself for next decade of snide comments.
Many Liberals try live their lives in accordance with the teachings of Jesus, for your information. I know dozens of liberals who put the needs of others before their own in order to serve the Lord.
Kindly educate yourself about the spiritual beliefs of others before you make a nutty crack like that.
I was only kidding about sending in the troops. I bleed Republican, so get over Bulldog\’s comments. Go Bulldog!
No, I am not Kerry, I wasn\’t for the war before I wasn\’t.
As far as the Dems, they are a joke. They don\’t stand for anything and they don\’t offer any solutions. They\’re only bash and criticize. Yeah, maybe we should just make nice nice with the terrorists.
And what the hey does this have to do with a cellphone igniting or a crackhead burning himself up?
It seems that Bush is getting blamed again, the Dem\’s are on the rampage & the burning motel room only ignited the controversy of Iraq, but the phone still worked, so call someone that gives a Darn!
Oh, & let\’s support our troops all over the world! God Bless!
P.S. Who is going to make it to the Super Bowl this year???
Peyton Manning, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a faded Colts flag in the
window. \”This house is yours for eternity, Peyton,\” said God. \”This is very
special; not everyone gets a house up here.\”
Peyton felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house. On his way up the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a 3-story mansion with a black and gold sidewalk, a 50 foot tall flagpole with an enormous Saints logo flag, and in every window, a New Orleans
Saints banner. Peyton looked at God and said \”God, I\’m not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I was an all-pro QB, I hold many NFL records, and I even went to the Hall of Fame.\”
God said \”So what\’s your point Peyton?\”
\”Well, why does Drew Brees get a better house than me?\” God chuckled, and said \”Peyton, that\’s not Drew\’s house, it\’s mine.\”
You need to vote for either Saints or the Bears to see the results. Right now the vote is 46,770 to 4,869, in favor of the Saints. I think it\’s because of an all out effort in our area to spread the word via e-mail asking locals to vote. Funny, Saints beating in that margin in Chicago\’s paper.
Jack is an ***. Still crying the same old song, \”he lied about weapons of mass destruction\”. Everyone believed Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. He used them against his own people. Grab onto a different left wing garbage line Jackie.
Looks like the Bears & the Colts are gonna be heading down to Florida… So much for the Saints & the Patriots.
The Saints should have taken it seriously from the start of the game, not the 2 minute warning before halftime!
The New England / Indy game was really great (talk about a come back in the third quarter-WHEW!) & you were not quite sure until the last interception who was going to be the one on top…
But for all the Football fans out there…
ENJOY THE SUPER BOWL!
God, I\’m gonna miss Football until they kick back off the 07 Season!
What are \”Quakers\”? Quakers are members of the Religious Society of Friends, a faith that emerged as a new Christian denomination in England during a period of religious turmoil in the mid-1600\’s, and is practiced today, in a variety of forms, around the world. To members of this religion, the words \”Quaker\” and \”Friend\” mean the same thing.
Quakers are: an active, involved faith-based community living in the modern world. We are a diverse people consisting of several distinct branches. We continue our traditional testimonies of pacifism, social equality, integrity, and simplicity, which we interpret and express in a variety of ways. Today, many Friends include stewardship of our planet as one of our testimonies.
Quakers are not: Amish, Pennsylvania Dutch, Anabaptists, Shakers or Puritans–we come from a separate tradition than these other groups. We don\’t dress like the man on the box of oats anymore, and today we hardly ever call people \”thee.\”
NO THANKS – she is the real definition of an opinionated wench that has had to much time to listen to a bunch of opinionated men & has just enough sense to form sentences of the words she\’s heard…
If she really believes that crap that spews through her lips she will get hers one day, hey we all will get it, what is due us that is & she is racking up some pretty hefty dues!
so you are saying the liberials who support gay and lesbian agendas, banned public prayer in schools, want \”in God we trust\” taken off money, want drugs legalized, want pornography on every street corner are following Jesus–well maam I think the devil has twisted your thought process!
School prayer is unconstitutional. The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment provides that government shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion. Because public schools are government funded, prayer led by school officials or incorporated into the school routine amounts to government-established religion.
School prayer violates the “separation of church and state.” Although this phrase is not found in the U.S. Constitution, it is an accepted principle of American law providing that the government cannot interfere in the practices of the church nor advance or advocate religious observances in government settings.
Public schools are intended for education, not religious observance or proselytization.
Prayer is school is already legal. Students are already allowed to pray on a voluntary basis (in a non-disruptive way) so formal school prayer is unnecessary.
School prayer may lead to intolerance. Public prayer will highlight religious differences of which students may have been unaware. Those students who abstain from school prayer or protest against it may be ostracized.
School prayer is inherently coercive and cannot be implemented in a way that is truly voluntary. What young child could regard prayer as voluntary where it is lead by his teacher, incorporated into the school routine and engaged in by the majority of his peers?
The public school system is created for all students and supported by all taxpayers. It should therefore remain neutral on religious issues over which students and taxpayers will differ.
Since no formal school prayer could simultaneously honor and uphold the tenets of the many religions practiced in the U.S., as well as various denominational differences, prayer is better left in the home and religious institution of the individual student’s choice. A related argument is that school prayer usurps the role of parents and religious institutions who desire to provide religious instruction in keeping with their own beliefs.

Ann Colter is a man in sheeps clothing. Ever looked at that adam\’s apple?
Democrats know Republican\’s look up to them as Gods. But please, do not worship us.
Which God should we ask our school children pray to? Alah? or maybe a Devil
Also, I bet some of our troops who were sent to Iraq looking for weapons of mass destruction whose existence the current President lied to us about, would have also enjoyed yesterday\’s football game.
Although there is no such thing as a \”gay agenda\” I would rather have an agenda like theirs than your \”christian\” agenda that promotes unequality, hatred and bigotry. Ann seems to follow and promote such a \”christian\” agenda as well.
It\’s a cell phone that caught fire – supposedly – where did all these comments come from? Is there no other forum that will allow you folks to discuss these feelings of inadequacy that you are raving about?
Ann Coulter has a weekly article. She is an extremely intelligent woman who only cites the facts. Amazing how threatened liberals are by her. Must be because they don\’t ever want to hear logical, intelligent arguments against their unbacked \”facts.\” In fact, the arguments against her in this thread are sooo \”Jerry Springer.\”
Of Course, you are right, but we must stop this message of hate mongering by the Republican party. They are why our Country is in such peril and why we cannot allow any opportunity to pass that allows their message of hate & bigotry continue. Even a simple forum such as this must not allow them to continue their rhetoric.
Hey, I\’m a Republican & I don\’t hate! I think everyone should shut the F-up & get over it! Let\’s see if we can\’t just all get along & so what if someone talks out their A$$ – ignore it & get on with what\’s important to you… Do you really let things eat you to the point that you need to be a jack-a$$ too???? If so, then it\’ll never get better – you gotta do something to make changes – no just run your head!
Get over what? did you guys do something wrong? Over 3,000 people dead looking for weapons of mass destruction based off erroneous information provided by a paid for bumbling buffoon we call a President. And no, we shouldn\’t get rid of free speach but we should respond whenever people spew hateful rhetoric against our citizens and those who don\’t believe as Republican party suggest. I won\’t \”get over it\” as you suggest. I\’ll also not resort to name calling. I\’ll leave that up to your party which is one of the few things you guys are good at!
I did extensive research for a forum I did at our Friends meeting, what did Jesus really say??
Comes down to a few ditty\’s, according to the biblical and historial scholars. Read the Jesus Seminar. They studied hard to come up with the following.
Love thy enemies.
If someone asks for your coat, give them your coat and your cloak as well.
Render unto Caesar…
Take care of the poor.
Christian right, get a grip.
You don\’t speak for Jesus and you don\’t speak for most Americans.
You forgot that it all started because Henry VIII (that\’s the 8th) couldn\’t get a divorce degree from the Pope so he founded the Church of England which later spun Quakers, Baptists etc. and then beheaded his ex wife. What a truely noble basis for a christian church!
The Quakers rejected the Anglican Church.
They started their own religion, the Religious Society of Friends. They suffered much persecution, torture and death for their dissent.
Looks like all religions have suffered much persecution, torture & death, but claiming a different name to call your religion, doesn\’t make one any better than another, & neither does the number of deaths or the degree of the torture. What\’s important is that you have a personal relationship with your God & His Son! ;) We all have enemies, but we should carefully choose our battles so as not to distance ourselves from those that could be friends!
God Bless!
I really enjoyed this series of comments.
Please keep it going.

Bill,
The crackpipe makes sense to me. I know that my crackpipe catches fire all the time.
So does his face resemble one of his paintings now?
Azuw, very funny response. Laugh out loud funny. I enjoy the comments section b/c one can learn from it as well as sometimes getting a good laugh.
The burn victim has a heavyweight Hollywood lawyer and you can bet the ranch that Nokia will have a harder time convincing her.
Nokia may be off the hook with fire officials, but a heavyweight personal-injury lawyer has her hooks into them now and won\’t be so easily convinced that the phone wasn\’t at fault. Press conference today.

More proof, global warming
His \”nylon and polyester clothes\”.How gauche (and flammable).
You should not use a shovel! It may slip out of your hands, use a bat instead. It is definitely better suited to bashing!
Thanks for the advice. I\’m new to the whole going outside the law to solve problems. I may need to go back to you if I need other felonious advice!
Is George Bush sending more troops to help with the problem?
George Bush did it.
Funny you should say that.

Thanks for the lesson! Looks like no religion really has a right to boast about being the best! We all have out faults!
Obey the 10 commandments cause they seem to show a good way to live & then do your best to obey the laws of your government!
One will keep you from Hell & the other will keep you from Jail & I don\’t know about ya\’ll, but both those places seem pretty rough for me.
Take care & God Bless!
