Any Parent that MAKES their child drop out of school in 8th grade so they can help the family live shouldn't be a parent. If you can't afford to raise kids dont have them. How the hell is that child going to have a better life than their parents if they dont have an education??? Making you child drop out of school and forcing them to work instead of getting an education simply keeps the cycle of poverty going and that child will be no better off than the parents. If the parents can't make ends meet take on a second job but don't jeopardize your child's future because of poor choices you made. Having kids without a job to support them . . .poor choice Making you kid quit school to go to work because you can't meet your obligations as a parent . . .poor choice I don't have an answer for this minimum wage issue but working at a fast food joint shouldn't have to be a career job but without good paying manufacturing jobs here in the USA many have no choice. Like others have posted jobs at fast food joints are for teenagers just starting out in the work force until they finish school and not for adults buying a home. The market sets the level of wage a person gets and that's just how it is, The Government cant even manage the money we give them so why would we ask them to step in and start telling businesses how to manage theirs? This isn't about the rich getting richer its about the economy if you fix the economy the jobs will be there. The Government's time would be better spent working on solutions to fix the economy because not only would it create jobs it would create Tax revenue to help with the budget crises. The country is in a bad "funk" right now and needs leaders that will work together to bring us out of it before its too late . . unfortunately the leaders we have now are unwilling to do what it takes to fix this mess so until we vote the worthless bastards out . . . . . .get used to saying . ."would you like that super-sized"

That's a freezer full of good eating right there . . WTG! If the power goes out for very long you'll have every cat in the neighborhood at your door . . and a few >XI< Idiots . . .lol

Very Impressive! Your Daughter is a talented young lady and her ability to train Poppy is amazing . . what a great team. Your obviously very proud of Roxy and you should be, the support you show for her is just what kids need to give them confidence. Good parenting is a major factor in developing successful kids.

Congratulations! For you That's an amazing number of posts . . you must not watch much TV or have any hobbies . . .lol Whats next? Are you going to DISNEYLAND?

I wrestle with my anaconda every time I step up to the urinal . . .lol

I should have turned that fish over and taken a pic because it really was a "punk fish" . Someone had hooked this fish recently, there was an artificial dry fly stuck in his lip . must have put up a good fight and the fly came un- tied and stayed in his lip. Probably cruising around showing the ladies what a badass he was . . .lol

Look at it this way, I released it so you could have the fun of catching it . . . . kinda like me buying you lunch . . lol

Garage sales can be fun if you like getting talked down on a price that is already ridiculously low on stuff you don't really want to get rid of (but the wifey insists). I release all my fish so when that yard sale is over the fish are waiting.

The flow of the Tongue River which is where I was working Fishing today . . . . . . .(I bet you were expecting some accident with injuries . . .right? (you can see my camper in the trees . . .yes it was a tough commute) Well I caught this and it was no accident A 23" brown trout which was released unharmed . . .well I guess he had a small hole in his lip.

The Kaptain is keepin an eye on ya. . . he don't miss a thing . . . Nice weld Mr. Hemps . . .when I weld aluminum it's always crap shoot making sure I get it clean enough most of the time no problem but then there's that 1 time . . . . . .

Happy Birthday Baldie I hope you have a great day and life is treating you good.

That dude has a rock band in his mouth . . . .. . .amazingly cool

Lmao Did you see when they froze the chickens? This must be where Freeze Tag was invented. Funny shit

What you are about see is absolutely brilliant! This is worth the two minutes (A quick lesson in History!) Seventeen year old Joe Bush got a high school assignment to make a video reproduction. He chose history as a theme and tucked it all into two minutes. Joe took pictures from the internet; added the sound track "Mind Heist" by Zack Hemsey (from the movie Interception) and came up with this. Incredible work for a 17-year old. Just finding the pictures was a formidable task. Hold on to your seat. This moves fast. Don't blink -- not even for a second & sound on http://marcbrecy.perso.neuf.fr/history.html

Looks like you can spike the football Mr. Pete You and the Mrs. have successfully raised a beautiful daughter and shes happily married, Kinda like catching the winning touchdown pass in the Superbowl of life. Congratulations

Good luck Hemps, I have confidence in you and your abilities to take things apart . . it's putting them back together I have doubts . . lol At least its a 2.5 so the trans isn't subject to a huge amount of HP . . . . and remember if you don't have parts left over you didn't do it right .. . .Har! seriously good luck, I know that feeling when you fire it up for the first time hoping all goes well . . . . it can be nerve racking.

IMPOSTER! Stratocaster is right here next to me and it cant even type. Oh wait . . . . . .sorry this is a Fender Stratocaster WELCOME to IDIOTSVILLE Home of >XI<

If he is truly as talented as he says and not a hack then it's to bad his skills couldn't be used to teach >XI< members how to be better players. I understand what happened and agree with the decision to ban since his total domination of every map wasn't fun for the other players . .I get that .. . What I don't understand is if TheMuffinman was aware that other players were leaving or choosing to spectate instead of getting an ass whooping by him then why didn't he offer to tutor other players? I see from his post above that he is offering help now but he should have realized sooner that he was ruining the game for others and taken a different approach ? I don't know but it just seems like by banning such a talented player we are as a clan are losing a potentially good teacher after all its playing against opponents with higher skill levels that make us better players Then again a good teacher wouldn't have the need to dominate his students. good call LOM. (I just thought I would throw my 2 cents in) If you guys start banning BAD players I'm in trouble . . ..

let me get this straight, Your giving away an all expenses paid Alaskan trip to >XI< members who love to fish and drink Beer with chicks in hot tubs ? lol nice pics

Smith and Wesson makes a nice pistol that shoots .410 shot gun shells .45acp and .45 colt. Its called the The Governor. You can load Memaw up some .410 buckshot in a couple chambers and .45 acp in a few and that way she can have shot pellets and slugs without reloading. The Governor has a fairly light recoil and a friend of mine put a laser sight on his and when I used it to dispatch a skunk one night the laser sight worked good. I think you would get an entirely different answer from the skunk.

You guys delivered a quality >XI< ass whooping WTG !! You guys get numbers and results that I can only dream of . . . . but I'm not gonna stop dreaming Its good to see some of the >XI< people doing so good . . . even if we are sooooo bad-ass

I bet we could come up with some pretty gruesome punishments for those assholes . . . . . .

Thanks @@Noears711XI I haven't busted out laughing like that for a while . . . .That was hilarious

SWEET!! That seat in the back is for >XI< Buddies that like to fish. Leadfinger is a fishing freak!! and not only that he's damn good at catching em . . if I do say so myself . . .lol Have fun with it . . be safe

I think is very cool that just by typing the word the system just automatically bans him . .BOOM! gone. So fast his head was spinning.
