6. hey, hey, hey!
The creepy family who graced the Lounge earlier this week were NOT from Nebraska.

Perhaps it was one of Nebraska's three Democrats. :P

15. You mean a typically uneducated rural slackjawed gaptoothed rube
who's busy cheating on his counsin-wife by fucking his sister, thus also cheating on his brother and father; a Christian fundamentalist gun-toting "Family Values" nutjob who thinks shooting "blacks" is okay cuz they ain'ts peoples, spitting their tobacco juice on every surface in their environment, and drinking so much cheap WalMart soda that they haven't slept in six years except those times they passed out from drinking massive amounts of Jack Daniels from their mother's wedding shoes?

I mean, a Southerner?

27. now why would you say that?
I thought I had stumbled upon some freeper site.

Does your comment represent your feelings toward all red states? I despise their politics as much as anyone on this site, but will not stoop to "humor" like this (I am giving you the benefit of the doubt assuming it was an attempt at humor.)

Are comments like this the way DU-posters would like to be judged?

4. You don't want millionaires to take part in the voluntary tax system?
Edited on Sun Feb-19-06 08:49 AM by Boojatta
If millionaires never win, that would simply indicate that they aren't playing. You want that?

10. Good, I am so glad that it wasn't my coworkers
The past few times, they have been pooling their money and buying power ball tickets to try to win big money. I put my money in the other times, but not this time. Each time I put my money in because I didn't want to be left behind when they won and quit. That was more my motivation than actually hoping to win.

32. Must not have been looking very hard...
in Cherry County, the largest and most populated of the ranching counties, the median income in 1999 was $29,268 and 12.3% of the county lives below the poverty level.

A few ranchers are rich. The rest are barely surviving.

31. Full?
Edited on Mon Feb-20-06 10:22 AM by Heidi
It's not nearly as full of even self-sufficient farmers and ranchers as it once was, thanks to Reaganomics and two Bush regimes. The farm crisis of the mid-1980s nearly decimated the state, and opened the door for former Gov. Kay Orr (a Republican) to give away the store in her attempt to stimulate economic development.

25. I predict is that the first thing this person buys is a ticket out of NE
What good is all that money when you live in a place where there is nothing worth buying? :shrug:
