inapropreate postings.

Those are spam posts. These spammers are posting to all of the newsgroups, not just this one.

I agree The sickness is in the heart I resist opening them

The type of people who post such are not woodturners. They are only troublemakers.

This is an unmoderated newsgroup, which means that there is no-one in charge.

If your newsreader does not support filtering, get one that does and learn how to use it. Otherwise, learn to ignore things you don't want to see.

Heck, I'm a male and I'm pretty well offended myself. Barry

lock that kind of thing out. I also do not open that type of thing. thanks for your replies. Walter

complaining about it here is pointless. If you feel the need to do something, there is something that can be done, but it's time consuming and can get pretty technical. it involves tracking down and reporting the idiot. the most you'll be likely to achieve is to get his account cancelled, and he'll just get another, but it's something....

OOOO!!! How do I ignore democrats?

Sorry Leo, I didn't hear you... I'm ignoring Democrats.

How do we ignore Republicans? We need equal time here.

Barry

Well, I'm not a republican... They annoy me to. I'm just "more" annoyed by democrats.

How do you ignore a republican? Well, if you follow the lead of most liberals around here, you need to grow your hair out, never comb it, drench yourself in patulli, make a bunch of picket signs that say the word "Halliburton" a bunch of times and then stand on the street corner down the street from my house screaming about injustice when they bust you for marijuana possession.

I'm fairly sure most of the rebublicans will stay far away from you after all that. Well, besides Martha Stewart... she might end up being forced to be near ya. ;-)

Had to look it up. Don't know if that means I'm a Republican or just a former deputy. Patchouli, eh? When we booked the worst of our potheads we actually tried to isolate them from the rest, because their body odor for a week after drew complaints even from those who smoked the stuff on the outside.

Getting ready for a show this weekend where they allow an "advocacy" row of authors and cause solicitors. Last year my spot was downwind of a malodorous environmental group trying to get more wolves or something. Even those with fuzzy legs, ponytails and Birkenstocks walked faster past them. Hope I get a little farther away this year.

Come to think, perhaps the juries are trying to tell me something. Went to a cheesehead show where there was a vent for a tavern septic field in the corner of the display area. At first it was sort of funny. When someone flushed, the people in the tent would give each other the surreptitious "elevator" look. After a few times, it just got disgusting. Got an invitation this year with a guarantee of distance, but didn't take it.

Yea... but the joke fit soo well...

anyways, I think Martha is just "Fashionable" and amongst the rich Hollywood elitists it's "Fashionable" to be a democrat now. All of us poor, un-famous hicks are apparently too stupid to take care of ourselves.. So they need to step in and give us wellfare and a federal healthcare plan. It's so nice that they care so much. ;-)

Martha is a flaming Democrat, not a Republican.

The only problem with 'giving' welfare and a federal healthcare plan is that they also pass along the invoice ... generally to those least likely to directly benefit from the program.

Me, for instance.

You're right, the money is much better spent by giving it to large corporations. Who needs it more than them? They have such a hard time making profits and if it weren't for the corporate welfare they receive they would have to close their doors and lay off trillions of people. I say we cut out welfare for the poor altogether and give the money to a company who really needs it, like Microsoft. They seem to have problems producing an operating system that can't be hacked into by your average 12 year old so I think they could really use the money.

Lets face it, no matter whether you vote for Kerry or Chaney, were screwed. Both are tax and spend politicians. I say lets all vote for Nader, he will show us the light and lead us to nirvana. Or maybe not. How about Lyndon LaRouche? Time for me to take my meds.

hehe... I have 2 experiences relating to what your talking about:

#1. My ex-girlfriend was divorced with 2 kids (not mine) and was on Government assisted living. (The state paid her rent) Basically they gave her a place to live and then based how much her rent was on her current situation. And it was a VERY nice appartment. 2 storys and a basement. Nicer than anywhere I've ever lived. They based her rent on a complex equation that factored in the # of kids, their ages, her pay rate.... etc... she had a minimum wage job at a movie theater. After the equation was all done her rent was negative $22. That's right folks.... they mailed her a check once a month for $22 to live there... she got paid. Then she'd take the $22 and go buy a case of beer. She couldn't get a better job because, if she did, her rent would go up exponentially.

#2. A friend of mine lives in England. They have a national healthcare system there. She went in becuase she thought she had an STD. They told her that she didn't have an STD without doing a blood test. She demanded a blood test. The National healthcare provider told her if she didn't leave them alone, they'd pull her coverage. A Natioanl healthcare system is like having

1 giant HMO that you can't ever get rid of. They tell you what they'll pay for, and you can't do anything about it.
