If it has to be one or the other, I'd rather pay for the hospital too so it isn't just you

But if I had the option to take one or the other, I'd take the ten billion. That would be pretty sweet

Hutch, I was not singling out anybody, I was trying to address what I perceived as a pattern leading to posts with very little if any value, which were only taking the thread in the wrong direction.
I am very interested in the discussion, and that's why I think we should try to make it based on as correct information and as logical arguments, as possible. I am sure that is the goal of everybody else as well.

This was not a moderator action, just a post of a fellow member who doesn't want to see a thread end for no good reason (as it has happened countless times before).

In any case I apologize if my post was perceived as directed to anybody in particular. I will stay out of this discussion for now - in any case I'm interested in other people's thoughts, not in mine.

Remind me, how old is McCain?

McCain is older than Obama, Palin, and Biden put together

If McCain does get into office and during his term the whitehouse burns down, will the headline read:

McCain home fries!!!





Sorry i'm in a silly mood....

So he's the same age as McCain? I think I'd rather have a young person as my backup than have someone the same age as my opponent. That's just me, though. Thanks for the info.
