I know MP3 players and the like are designed to crap out in a few years (would-be engineer): planned obsolescence. Why would engineers build something that costs more when people are generally silly enough to buy a new one since theirs is not cool anymore? I hate pop culture and what's hip.

I think pop culture (i.e. action movies about teens, music about hoes, music videos with guys dancing, magazines about actors, botox, blowjobs, and Bradjelina) destroyed the IQ of America's youth.

UPDATE: Paris Hilton giving blowjobs I meant. I don't mind the blowjobs. I just don't give a shit when it is some one "famous."

I believe that Gary Zukov is pretty close to correct.

Hain 12-13-2007 02:07 AM

I believe many modern day scientists should have rockstar status, comparable to the status that Albert Einstein had.

FURTHERMORE: I believe that Saddam Hussein really had stock piles of Weapons of Mass Destruction but Geo. W. Bush doesn't want to tell us out of kindness for embarrassing the United Nations that said Saddam probably didn't have any at all. :rolleyes:

Ingestion. Don't lesbians eat babies? :rolleyes:

I believe that they will always make Chuck Taylor's, for the rest of my life. And that brings me joy.

Plan9 12-13-2007 05:38 PM

I believe that I could eat just about any one of you if I was hungry enough.

I believe Velcro and elastic enable fat people to continue to be fat.

I believe sometimes more can be solved from a fist fight than a shrink.

No way! :D That would be cannibalism. Lesbians were babies once too:

"Congratulations, it's a lesbian!"

It would have rocked if I had two mothers; especially if they both wore Chuck Taylors.

It's still possible... have you ever checked to see if your "Dad" was born male?

ItWasMe 12-14-2007 12:26 AM

I can dance. So what if I resemble a Teletubby when I do.

Thank you for the lovely cynacism. :thumbsup: I didn't notice that I spelled it incorrectly. It must be nice to have English for your first language, eh? :)

Charlatan 12-14-2007 01:19 AM

Oh relax... it's called taking the piss out of you.

Anyone can see it was a typo. It was a funny typo that changed your intent from something potentially offensive, to something comical.

I believe we'd all be better if we believed differently.

roachboy 12-14-2007 12:45 PM

i wonder about stuff alot.

like if your car says to you "a door is a jar" in a kind of urgent voice, it is expected that you will then do something.

i don't understand things like that.

i suppose people could find not understanding things like that to be ridiculous.

Jetée 12-14-2007 12:51 PM

I believe you.

HAHAH! I just imagined you saying that like Leslie Nielsen from Police Squad.

An old friend had a Chrysler LeBaron from the late 80s that said that.

And no, Crompsin, the voice isn't like Leslie Nielsen's. It's a pleasant, feminine computer voice...sort of like Majel Barrett Roddenberry.

Plan9 12-14-2007 02:54 PM

No, I imagined him responding to it like Leslie Nielsen voice would in his movies.

I know all the best technological gizmos have females voices. Everybody likes female voices.

Mmm... whisper in my ear. I'll do anything for you. Including close my jar.

That I will continue to care as much in many years, as I do now, for the people I treat as a medic.

Pretty much everyone has said that, that feeling goes away, and lots of people feel like they're going to want to help everyone for forever and ever.

It's my understanding that what I exhibit is typical "care about every single patient" new-medic enthusiasm and it's extremely rare, almost unheard of, for a person to actually keep that up over time. Like... 99.99999999% of all people become like everyone else, they get frustrated with those "bothersome" calls and it comes out in the way they behave and interact with the patient. And in those rare people that do, they generally are borderline basket-cases who are annoyingly perky all the time... and they burn out. I think I can honestly say that I care, but am not unrealistic, naive, misguided, or a basket-case idealist twit who thinks homeless people fart sunshine.

However, both medics that I've trained under have now said to me that they believe that I truly care, and will be one of those exceptions to the rule. My current medic told me this yesterday. The subject had never come up, and I'd never told him about the other medic saying something. We got done with a particularly "annoying" call and he just kind of said, "you know... I think you actually give a shit about people. I don't think it's because you're new." I asked him to elaborate, and he did, then I told him that my last medic had said the same thing.

He said, "see, I told you I'm always right". lol

(we'd been joking around earlier about how he likes to believe he's "always right".)

I understood that very well. I was genuinely admiring your post. Did I misplace that "smily face" button again? Ah! There it is! :)

Mine says, "You're incompetent - do not insert key into the ignition!"

Jenna 12-15-2007 06:30 AM

Yeah, I believe that 9/11 was a conspiracy.

I believe that the JFK assissanation was a cover up as well.

It's too early to think of anything else.

Good Luck......I think that most people who go into the EMS field must care, it sure as hell aint for the money & glory......The most difficult part for me was remaining objective, especially when treating seriously sick or injured women & children. An army base not only has all the common accidents that plague a field dominated by heavy machinery & dangerous weaponry but also a civilian population including retired military, dependent wives husbands & children, & civilian employees with all the accidents, injuries, and illnesses that go with it.......I wouldn't say I burned out, my enlistment was up & I decided EMS work wasn't going to be a permanent career choice for me. Had I moved on to civilian EMS, I'm sure I would have burned out.........

I believe that partisan politics is a deliberate conspiracy to distract a nation's populace and give them a false sense of control.

Plan9 12-15-2007 07:18 PM

Because I exercise proper lawful control over my firearms, have a certain safe level of Boy Scout paranoia, and live a life that is safe, predictable, and relatively risk-free... I will never have to use them to defend myself and they will probably be about as special as my library card on any given day.

I believe being addicted to the internet is the biggest reason for obesity. I also believe beer is a gift from the gods. :)

I believe that ATI's Ruby is hotter than any real-life actress/character out there. Even anything Angelina Jolie--Lara Croft included.


I also believe that Firefox and Mac haters are unethical, especially when they're corporations and it affects (or eliminates) customer service.

highthief 12-16-2007 05:48 PM

I believe that all (and I mean all) cars made by Ford, GM and Chrysler are utter crap.

You must never have driven an Asian or European car to actually think otherwise.

I believe that people who threadjack should be banned instead of a thread being closed. The only time a thread should close is when the OP breaks the rules.

DaveOrion 12-16-2007 07:35 PM

I believe that /threadjacks are usually harmless & of little consequence.

I believe that rules were made to be broken.

I believe the children are our are future, Teach them well and let them lead the way......And I believe Whitney Houston should put the pipe down.......:oogle:

Damn! I had a buddy whose car said that too but in French - "la porte est malferme" - the door was always closed, except the one time it didn't say it, we took a corner and almost all of us spilled out the back door!

I believe that there are times where a thread has run its course and starts to be a mockery of itself when it wanders so far off topic that it belongs in another part of the board completely.

I believe that the end of the year is a time of stress, hard work and under-recognition.

I believe that Kevin Costner made two of the three greatest baseball movies ever (Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, The Natural) and is still a horrible actor unworthy of ever receiving another dollar for his work.
