That's a quote I would quote myself, if I only had the slightest inkling of what God was.

Where de wimmin at?

Are there really so few women reading and posting here? I count less than half a dozen about the place at the moment. There must be some way we can make the boards more welcoming to the ladies of boinc.

Perhaps we can get the management to remove the spittoons from the corners and take the girly pics down from the walls, maybe insist the guys wear shirts and shoes and stop walking about in their underpants?

Now I've got to wear shoes AND underpants? I was pretty sure I had turned my webcam off.

This is ridiculous.

Subject: The Robin Williams Plan for World Peace Message 1 of 9

Posted by Jack Lass on Aug 30, 2003 at 10:19 Reply to this message.

Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan... what
we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this
message.

Robin Williams' plan...(Hard to argue with this logic!)

I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan
for peace. So, here's one plan:

1. The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in
their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo,
Noriega, Milosovich and the rest of those 'good ole boys.' We will never
"interfere" again.

2. We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with
Germany, South Korea and the Philippines. They don't want us there.
We would station troops at our borders. No one sneaking through holes
in the fence.

3. All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave.
We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder
will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of who or
where they are. France would welcome them.

4. All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to
90 days unless given a special permit. No one from a terrorist nation
would be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and
don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't
need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.

5. No "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If
they don't attend classes, they get a "D" and it's back home baby.

6. The US will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient
energy wise. This will include developing non-polluting sources of energy
but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness.
The caribou will have to cope for a while.

7. Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a
barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go some place else. They can
go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the
wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)

8. If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world,
we will not "interfere." They can pray to Allah or whomever, for
seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides most of what we give
them is stolen or given to the army. The people who need it most get very
little, if anything.

9. Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island some place. We
don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the
building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.

10. All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no
one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer. The Language we speak is
ENGLISH.....learn it...or LEAVE...Now, ain't that a winner of a
plan.

"The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying 'Give me your poor,
your tired, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat and she's
yelling,"You want a piece of me?'

I wasn't crazy about Cherie Blair

She came to a school I was working at a few months ago and gave a speech to the girls. She was very good actually. I was quite impressed.

In that way, I would tend to agree, just don't like the attitude to freebies and perks.

Yeah..but I wonder how much of that is actually been blown up by the media?

Thanks Esme' - though i am pretty positive that YOU are aware that this was a <quote> from our friend, Jack Lass (and i don't agree NOR dis-agree with the entire Quote) but i felt - that based upon the responses of the Original Posting - that it deserved a Mention in this Cafe of Yours. I know that Jack rarely speaks / Posts in the Cafe as of late (from Classic Days) but i thouhgt it relevant enough for the re-post. I am sure each of You that knows Jack - would agree that he is an Intelligent Individual and a Dedicated Cruncher and has a voice that i believe should be heard . . .

Respectfully (Especially to Jack Lass - Thank You)

Good day ladies :)

I would've brought you some flowers, too - but I seem to have the opposite of a green thumb: the only plant which ever has survived more than a week in my hands was a cactus :(

But here is a bucket for you ladies, fresh from the flower shop. I'm sure you have a vase for it :)
