So today, my mom and I went to the local dollar store and bought a crapload of school supplies, which we are boxing up and sending to an inner city first grade class. We are going to keep them in supplies this year. You don't need a fancy organized charity or even a Twitter drive to make a difference. Just Do It.

School supplies for Zambian children: http://cecilysfund.org/ (Sorry, but I felt this was a good post to promote it.) - Eivind

Elvind - promote it away! Another thing my mom has been doing for years is making quilts, toys, handcrafts and sending them to an AIDs orphanage in South Africa. She and five of her friends send them to the kids and have sold the stuff stateside and have raised around $25,000 all on their own to send to the orphanages to help the kids. I am not that crafty, but I help with legal, graphic design and the selling of the stuff at their sales. Another thing she just does. There is so much that you can Just Do. - Martha

Unfortunately clarity takes time. Life is inherently unpredictable. - Paul Buchheit

PB I am happy to wait take your time and yes I trust you all the whole team. - Thomas Power

It's precisely because I viewed FF as a collection of people that I invested trust with them - so yes I'm waiting for the clarity that I trust will come and hope your allowed to share it by the new boss. - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

I couldn't agree with you more Paul. (congrats BTW) I just hope bigger companies also realize the same thing, we will treat them the same way they treat us. With FF I think we all felt like part of the team, communication was open and two-way..it brought the passion out of all of us. - Chris Myles

It's not good to call a bluff on people/anything before you understand the situation. On trusting people a little more....that's fine.

I trust the FF team. As I said before I doubt they'll let FB take over and do messy things. They worked too hard to let them do that. - Molly, "sorry"

I always give people a bit of trust, and it works out. There have been very few people that have lost the trust I gave them. I expect the best from everyone, and most return the favor. As for thinks like FF, well I don't have a lot of experience and I'm not super attached to the current workings, so I'm just waiting patiently to see what happens. I didn't join for the system, I joined for the people and the content. ^_^ - Heather

I love FF. You guys have done a great job, and I have no doubt you will continue to do so. Some may have acted more on emotions than needed. However, when you end up being too trustworthy for too long, you tend to get burned. It's cheesy, it's a cliche, but it happens. I know I'm not one of the big ones here, but earlier today, in my completely zombified state, I decided to just roll... more... - Matthew Horton

I don't like how some people are thinking you "sold out" because you were bought by FB, because you needed the money and if you didn't get it what would happen? I think people are pissed off mainly because FB was the service that bought it. What if Myspace or Micorsoft bought FF? I bet there would be more people (including myself) who would totally lose trust in you guys. - Molly, "sorry"

Some people are going to take this cryptic post as "Friendfeed will remain a separate entity and will continue to be developed, but I just can't reveal that yet."

Christopher, you're reading too much into this (as are most people here). I really do mean it as a general point about life. The truth is that I don't know exactly what the future holds, and neither does anyone else. - Paul Buchheit

I have been through a few recent experiences where my apprehensions and concerns about the honesty and the intent of people have been proven wrong. I guess some of us need to go through this phase of realization before we can start trusting people a bit easier than before. - Jassim

Paul: I was saying that I'm not reading that into your post, but many people will. In light of circumstances, posting something like that is going to be heavily interpreted, right? - Christopher A Carr

I guess I'm in what some people might think of "denial". I want to think positively instead of being cynical. Being cynical to me is negative and doesn't solve a damn thing. Being positive about anything this day and age is a bad thing, I guess. People view positive feelings as being "in denial" which IMHO is a bunch of bullcrap. - Molly, "sorry"

Depressing country music comes to mind... the dog ran away and the truck died, sad tune... *Sigh* - Jannifer @wordsforliving

Perhaps more to the point: Most here may trust the former FF team, but many don't trust Facebook. - Christopher A Carr

Christopher, I think that is the main point. It was interesting to see Matt Cutts post his congrats via a FF post, but also mention that he hopes the FF team brings some openness to the FB. That is part of the trust thing. Even Microsoft is more trustworthy than FB right now and everyone knows that a team of talented devs getting swallowed up by an untrustworthy corp typically makes no difference to the corp's culture. - Travis Koger

I hate Facebook - Jannifer @wordsforliving

Software is scalable to huge customer bases.. Customer support, feedback, and expectations don't scale as easily!! - Chris Myles

Travis: Yep. - Christopher A Carr

I had to admit, even though I like FB a lot, they have done some things I'm not happy with. I'm hoping they don't mess with FF too much or I won't go there anymore. - Molly, "sorry"

@Paul, I will stretch my trust a bit further to see how this washes out for the FF team, but in my view trust is always based on the actions and the way this has been handled, given that you are well aware of your rabid fan base, is not good for maintaining trust. I would have actually preferred that FF be bought my Microsoft (I know MS haters, perish the thought), but at the moment I... more... - Travis Koger

Thing is, every single FF user with a FB account could go delete their Facebook account, and Facebook would barely notice. So it's hard to believe that that they care -- why should they? - Christopher A Carr

Totally agree Christopher. The FF crowd are such a small bag that they do not care. The reason why I would prefer MS is that they would care because they are clawing marketshare with any means, each little grab of users for them means a lot more then it does to FB, who as we all know don't even care about their existing 250-300mill. - Travis Koger

Travis: You do know that MS is FB's single largest investor by far, right? For all practical purposes, MS bought FF as much as FB did - LANjackal

LANjackal, yeah, but I am not sure about single largest? Particularly since the valuation that they bought in at was a lot higher than the current valuation from the recent buy in, so I think their shareholding is a tiny bit smaller now. There is still competition between the two for users, as there is from Google and twitter etc. - Travis Koger

Hmm, I don't like mirrors... - Mo Kargas

Lanjackal, I told like you to one of my friends feed yesterday, you are right! - muratt

Travis: FB isn't publicly traded, and MS has given them more funding than anyone else, period. No one else has come close to the $240M MS poured into FB - LANjackal

muratt: Thanks, appreciated - LANjackal

Travis: You don't think the Bing search results integrated with FB search results are accidental, do you? That said, I'm not one of those people who believes everything MS is bad. So far they've done well allowing FB to grow as they have. I've been with FB since 2004 so I have more faith in them than the average person. I'm giving them time to see how this all shakes out, and putting a lil trust in the FF devs too - LANjackal

LANjackal, absolutely not, I know that was part of the investment and obviously worth a shed load more than the original 240M. I did think though that they had just received 200M from a russian company and have received other similar size investments from other companies. Don't get me wrong, I am not a total FB hater, if they do right by FF then I will absolutely stick around. What I... more... - Travis Koger

This is a smart approach. Trust...but verify. As much as many of us chuckled at Reagan in the 80s (OK, as much as some of us old guys chuckled) that's not a bad philosophy; it's what we do in day-to-day life, anyway. If we didn't implicitly trust most of the people we interacted with daily life would be chaos. Oh, and "naive" is the way we act on a daily basis. - Tom Guarriello

Oh, and one more thing. I think the difference between the public reaction to FB buying FF and Amazon buying Zappos is fascinating. - Tom Guarriello

I have actually more trust in FB than I have in Amazon - FB has not yet had the kind of anti competitive practices that Amazon has had in the last few years. If it had an easier way to ignore most apps, and reined their lawyers when revising T&Cs, FB would be positively peachy :) - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

Reality is a mirror. We will manifest in life what we continue to see and be. If we find that we continually cannot or do not trust people, it is often because we ourselves are not trustworthy. Give situations time to sort out before you automatically assume that the worst will come about. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Paul, I take your point. This is how I've gone through my entire life, with varying degrees of success. But I should tell you because of this I've been burned many, many times and have the emotional scars to prove it. It is not a statement to be made lightly (not that I think this is what you were doing). - Jim Is Not Smart

I think most people would like to trust but most people have been disappointed before so when one cares about something or someone might tend to create negative mental scenarios as a mechanism to protect oneself from another disappointment and not to appear a fool once again. - M F

Cautious optimism is how I proceed. However, I've been involved in and project managed through many acquisitions, and usually the acquiree gets fed a bunch of bs about how they'll be able to control their destiny and keep their baby running. But I don't think I've ever seen that actually happen. I hope it might, in this case, but I feel like so much cannon fodder at this point. - Rick Cogley

I like the sentiment to stay open and trusting. Life is too short to do otherwise. And since there is a lot of talk about the facebook deal on this thread guess I'll throw in my 2c there too -- which is, congratulations on another successful venture Paul. Very impressive and facebook will be better as a result. If FF gets lost in the shuffle that just means someone has to go out there and start another venture ;) - Thomas Mader

@cromwellian, that's why I used the words "which is of course your prerogative"..business is business, fine. I congratulate the FF team on their business win. But then don't mix categories and try to bring social issues like "trust" back in through the backdoor. After Beacon et al. FB PR disasters, do you trust Zuckerberg/FB with a darn thing? You yourself seem to think similarly by saying you're "kinda resigned that it's long term fate is not in the cards." My point exactly.. - Alex Schleber

@Guruvan BTW I disagree with you that this has anything to with LOA/Projection type stuff..the point is we all trusted FB in the beginning..a long time ago. Did we attract their multiple mis-behaviors into our shared reality somehow?!? - Alex Schleber

More accurately, life is better when people are trustworthy. - Tanath

Alex: I have spent about 10 hours of my life with Mark Zuckerberg. I think he is a lot more trustworthy than most business leaders I have met. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

@Scobleizer, which isn't saying that much, would you agree? :) It is after all the same Mark Zuckerberg that handed out business cards reading "I'm CEO, Bitch" not all that long ago.. - Alex Schleber

How does facebook reconcile talking about openness but trying to prevent other services from gaining traction by blocking the flow of information out of facebook that would enable smaller networks to compete? It looks like facebook is trying to become the entire web experience for users. - Ru Viljoen

I've been through too many mergers and acquisitions to trust anything the buying corporation says. - Alex Scoble

yeah u need to trust now because you gave away control. i think it was a silly move. i still think that friendfeed could have turned the tide by itself,...with proper profiles and people search. now all you can do is hoping you didn't got fooled - Chris Hofmann

Schleber: damn, I didn't get one of those cards from him and had to drag him into a Time Magazine party. He didn't want to go because he didn't have an invite. I think that's the last time that I'll have an invite to something he doesn't have. But, seriously, I love how we blow out of proportion people like him. - Robert Scoble

Alex Scoble: I assume the worst and when the best happens, I'm surprised. That said, Zuckerberg and Facebook has never stabbed me in the back or been jerks the way some other companies have been. - Robert Scoble

If facebook succeeds it will lead to a period where innovation stagnates, and finally the largest task for facebook is to wrest power from google, and I personally do not want that to happen. - Ru Viljoen

Ru: if you think Facebook is stagnating, I think you are smoking some good dope. Remember, FriendFeed couldn't take off because Facebook was too fast a follower. Many of my favorite friends from across the industry are now working there. Don't underestimate this company. - Robert Scoble

Plus they stole Google's sushi chef and he's freaking awesome. - Robert Scoble

Any company in Silicon Valley who is powered by sushi is unstoppable. ;-) - Robert Scoble

I don't think that, I think facebook is brilliant and incredibly innovative, I mean it will go that way if they become too dominant in the comprehensive web experiance. - Ru Viljoen

Ru: Facebook is the next Google. - Robert Scoble

I have never heard of any company continuing to drive innovation as google has after acquiring a monopolistic majority, that is why I do not want it to be replaced. - Ru Viljoen

Facebook never stabbed you in the back? :) http://scobleizer.com/2008... - Louis Gray

I was thinking about that Louis. - Alejandro

I think he is right, social search is better than legions of anonymous results. Facebook leads social so when they master search they will undermine google. - Ru Viljoen

yeah but the content that is dragged into FB is still much more limited to what google can crawl. - Chris Hofmann

What exactly are you referring to by "social search," Ru? - Christopher A Carr

If I'm trying to figure out who *among my FB friends* has the cutest new baby, or the highest ranking on Farmtown, then FB is certainly superb. - Christopher A Carr

Search results relative to people you know. So far facebook has focused on features and usability to grow its userbase, but it looks really obvious that they will then try to use that social network to create a search engine that uses your acquaintances to serve you recommendations or search results and people will love that. - Ru Viljoen

Wait, what? - Derrick

thats what friendfeed has been doing already - Chris Hofmann

Ru: I could see that were FF as large as FB. My aunties and uncles on FB don't really know much about my interests or preferences. Won't FB have to radically restructure the network -- FoaF, and such? - Christopher A Carr

i think that is the point of getting the friendfeed guys in the firstplace - Chris Hofmann

In that case, there's so much legacy cruft in FB, why not build from FF's foundation if they're going to have to tear things down anyway? - Christopher A Carr

Actually Paul, there is a famous wise American Caver named Donald Davis. Cavers find cave. Caves are a kind of form of Shrodingers Cat, we never know where more cave is until we find it. Davis postulated in the 60's that the cavers create the cave in their minds. - Robert Higgins

FF is interests/information-centric. FB is people you happen to have encountered physically-centric. - Christopher A Carr

It might be a hell of a lot of work but still that is where they will go. Bear in mind they have just released facebook lite and their explanation of it being for low brandwidth areas and mobiles smells like BS, but that is too speculative, fact is they can create that infrastructure with enough money, talent and users. - Ru Viljoen

But they have 1/3 of a billion users with old expectations to placate. How radical can they be? - Christopher A Carr

Well until it is done who knows how much behaviour will be shaken up, but they can be quite radical and people will not leave because how do you communicate with school friends and grandma if you leave? - Ru Viljoen

It would seem extremely difficult to me to build a new house by ripping out a piece of the old house and replacing it, one piece at a time -- and starting from the roof. At best, for much of the process you'll have an ugly-ass Franken-house -- which is a good description of the state of affairs at FB. - Christopher A Carr

Paul we trust you not to stab Friendfeed in the back, but to infiltrate and take over Facebook - Robert Higgins

:) I can haz sleep nao. - Eric Logan

No, Eric...it's only 4:48PM. :-) - Christopher A Carr

hahaha well I hope facebook remains a secure place to chat to our real friends and some form of friendfeed lives on and grows for our edgy web friends. Sleepytime 01:49 here - Ru Viljoen

I imagine you and the rest of the FF gang are stinging a bit (perhaps you didn't expect the backlash to be as... well, passionate as it was?) but, in my experience, trust is something that has to be earned and it's usually something I only give to people I know personally. Generous trust has almost always repaid me negatively so I'm loathe to just hand it out. I'm a cynical, old, cranky... more... - Akiva Moskovitz

I have a long held belief that trust is something meant to be earned, not something you are entitled to from the start, and once shattered it is difficult, but not impossible, to regain. And Trust travels with a companion called Respect. They are 2 sides of the same coin. - April Russo (app103)

Yes, seriously. It's a scene from a movie, not sexual, and it's just a penis. Would I prefer it not be in my home feed? Yup. I prefer the hairless lady crotches stay out of my home feed too.

So last night on this podast i heard a weird thing- in Africa there are some cultures that fear "penis stealers" like a pickpocket, they steal your penis. It hides in your body or shrinks. Serious deal, and 12 people were killed last year because they were suspected penis stealers. Just sayin'. - anna sauce

Good answer @ Earl - Kevin J Hatton

EARL +1 -- to expand on that thought - it must have been so small I missed it. - LPH™ and his dog P™

To put this into perspective: I have lady bits and have seen what may or may not be an average number of gent bits. If I want to see more of them, I certainly know where to find them. But if I'm FFing at work, the library, at home in front of my godsons or soon to be ex step nephew, I'd just as soon not have to explain why the lady is all nekkid and stuff. People don't walk naked down main street either: they go to places where nudity is expected and/or encouraged. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Errr, what's the big fuss? Only issue I have is NSFW stuff in the feed while I'm at work. I access rooms via lists to do that. - CAJ, somewhere else

And to clarify: my *biggest* gripe here is the fact that I've not seen a single (straight) gent complain about the poon floating downstream, but let one penis slip through and it's OMGWTFBBQ!! What's good for the goose is good for the gander, and if the guys are saying it's ok to post lady crotches then by God there will be man crotch to match. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

So, the unsaid thing here, Tina thinks we need more big hairy 70's style jungle bushes posted, and I couldn't agree more. I CAN'T FARGIN STAND THIS ERA OF THE SHORN POON. It's fracking creepy, looks like a childs, and that's just gross. The Brazilian ruined porn forever. - Matthew DeVries

Having seen the crotch of a 10 year old girl (since I was one and therefore had one), I agree MDV. However this is more about the lady v gent crotch ratio, not the hair or lack thereof. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

I don't believe I have ever seen a full on bare vagina in the main feed. Boobs, yes, but not full-on genitalia. Honestly I would have reacted the same way if it was a completely naked woman; I don't want full nudity on my main feed when there are plenty of rooms for that. Honestly I'm sick and tired of people bitching about the "double standard." If you want to post naked men, half... more... - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

Who the hell are you subscribing too Tina? PS could you compile them into a list of handy links.....for reference. - Geoff Schultz

Only apply Haggis' rules to naked people. Half, shirtless, bikini'd people are fine. NSFW is the only time to approach anything higher than apathy. - Matthew DeVries

we are playing who ever states the rule last gets to apply the rule, right? - Matthew DeVries

Exactly, Matthew. Post dudes in swim trunks/speedos, girls in bikinis, whatever. I see those things on billboards on the side of the highway. Vagina and penis, no. Put that somewhere out of the public feed. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

It doesn't bother me, but I'd have no problem signing a document with that rider if that gets it out of committee already. - Matthew DeVries

*blinkblink* Who on earth are you subscribed to Tina? - Soup

I sub to a handful of people who use image fave type services, and port in tons of images at once. For those that want to see what the main feed looks like for me it's http://friendfeed.com/isthiss... - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Marilyn Chambers' armpit in "Rabid" = twofer - Joe Silence is not Santa

If a crotch appears in my main feed, I'm sharing it in the new group 'Crotches in my feed' http://friendfeed.com/crotche... - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOLOLOLOLO - Matthew DeVries

To resurrect an old but apt and this time accurate web cliche - Tina owes me a new keyboard! - Matthew DeVries

high time i start using lists, before i get busted !! cant risk d main feed. - Gtp19

subbed - Joe Silence is not Santa

When I read what Tina posted, I got the mental image of a disembodied penis floating by like a weird duck hunt theme. :) Okay, remember when I complained about NSFW images in the main feed and many of you shot me down for "telling you how to use FF"? Well, now YOU get to debate this and I'll just hide your NSFW feeds. - Morton Fox

I missed nudity in the main feed? :( - Steven Perez from Android

i'm sitting here thinking the exact same thing mr perez - Chris Heath

I was about to propose that some teachers at the high school I work at use friendfeed to aggregate their content and have students subscribe to that content. Now I'm worried that our district will just block the whole site. - Ryan Massie from iPhone

what do you mean by "feed"? - sofarsoShawn

Perhaps I shouldn't laugh, but I find it hilarious. Lost your FF virginity now, TIna? :) "I just saw a penis float down the main feed for the first time" Your description of how you saw it 'float down' was what got me laughing here. - Ian May

Does anyone realize that a penis really does float? - The Catz Meow

When I say feed, Shawn, I mean the main feed I see when I visit friendfeed.com and am logged in. I don't use lists, so everyone I sub to is dumped into that main feed. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

i've never noticed since i try to keep it attached to my body. - Jason Wyttenbach

Tina. Thank you for this original post (I admit not reading through the comments). - Martha

I only see genitalia floating down (and bubbling up) via the inappropriate discussions group, which appears in my main feed by default. Mmmmm, genitalia. - Slappy Line

Enough already................... - Kevin J Hatton

penish smenish - sofarsoShawn

Just subscribed to Tina's room. I'm not subscribed to nearly as many people as her, so I'll be adding more crotches to my main feed :D - Rodfather

wait wait...so you really saw a wang? I seriously thought you were joking *ahem* weird - sofarsoShawn

Enough what already? - Matthew DeVries

Is this because of my post? - Matt Ruiz

Once I saw penetration... but it was on the everyone feed - sofarsoShawn

Yeah, thanks, Wilson. - Akiva Moskovitz

Tina herself showed a bit of her insides yesterday. - Matthew DeVries

HA, I thought you said down main street. That took me a minute. - Eric @ CSTechcast.com

Yeah, that was my first thought, was that she was making a joke about a parade on the street outside her office balcony. - Matthew DeVries

That's what I thought like some dude ok with himself or durrrrunkk just flashing ti around - sofarsoShawn

Sorry, guys. I dropped my pants for Penny, and I forgot that I went commando today. - Steven Perez

Tina, I "liked" this so hard I may have broken the internets. - Ayşe E.

We need a multiple like button for moments like these - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE

Yeah, we do, Mo. I'm still laughing. Righteous! - Ayşe E.

#DickMeme - Matt Ruiz

Tina, I totally love how certain people are completely misunderstanding your post, and appear to be assuming you are complaining about penile exposure. :-) - Slappy Line

Ain't that the truth, Slippy =/ - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Respect the cock. - Mark Davidson from BuddyFeed

I thought the equal treatment point of the original post was pretty clear. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

K, so this one can't be blamed on me. I don't post penises or hairless vi-jay-jays. :-P - Jason Huebel

"Random Hairless Poon" would be an awesome name for a band. - cecily

Haha Cecily - Rodfather

LMAO......this has got to be the best thread today! - Bonnie Foster

Back in the old days, there were Johnsons as far as the eye could see. And what a lovely sight it was. - Slappy Line

...hairless poon? huh? what? clearly, I'm not subscribed to the right FF folks. .LOLz! this is a hilarious post Tina. thanks for that - .LAG liked that

hairless poon? where? ;) - Anthony Citrano

Too many places these days Anthony. Too many places..... - Matthew DeVries

I feel left out in that I never saw said penis. - Tsali, The Native of FF

It's from a film clip of Forgetting Sarah Marshall - anna sauce

Whose Cock was it? LOL - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

ah, in that cause, I've seen said penis, but still feel left out, I think it's time to resurrect the Traveling Dildo then. - Tsali, The Native of FF

I think I'm going to have to watch the movie just to see what context that clip was from. - Morton Fox

LOL Perv ;-) - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

An observation: I was the 69th to like this post. Just sayin. ;-) - Ladybug Heather

I just saw some out of this world Japanese wieners! - sofarsoShawn

Make one little post about crotches and the masses get all riled up (so many puns, so little time). Just a reminder, any crotch (male or female) that I see in my main feed gets reshared to the "Crotches in my Feed" group http://friendfeed.com/crotche... And Cecily, thanks to you I now have the urge to see if RandomHairlessPoon.com is an available domain name =/ - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

My work here is done. :D - cecily

Oh dear sweet babby jebus, it's available... - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

You know that traffic will be closely watched by the FBI - Matthew DeVries

I really wish our society would get over the stigma of naked bodies. Both men and women. I'm 100% straight, but I'm all about freedom. But I'm also all about respect. I say we treat everyone equally. If someone wants to post nudity, why don't we make a single NSFW room. (one could exist, I don't know). Seems like a logical solution to me. - Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ

I'll agree there's not enough man-crotches floating about FriendFeed, and I'm straight! However, I categorically REFUSE to improve the situation. You all already got to see me shirtless for free; anything more and you got to pay me first for it. - Chris, Taskerrific Guy

*considers using ye olde flatbed scanner but doesn't want to smoosh anything so gets out the digicam instead* - Joe Silence is not Santa

Just know if it shows up in my feed it's going to the Crotch room. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

i must be doing something right because my cock:hairlesspoon ratio has been really good. no filters or nuthin’. probably some previously-unseen emergent phenomenon arising from my subscription choices. @mike: speaking for myself, any naked-body-stigma I might have is not moral or social, it's aesthetic. - Anthony Citrano

LOL AC!! Reminds me of the scene from Slapshot where Paul Newman is explaining why women are beautiful and men are not. And where's my invite to the hairlesspoon room? - MVB (Grinch of FF)

There's a room for hairless spoons? - Will Higgins™

It's not a hairless poon room, it's a crotch room: if you join you'll see whatever male or female bits find their way onto my feed. And no invites are needed, MVB, there's a link above. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

poon room -- i think that calls for a name change. - Jason Wyttenbach

@Tina Thank-you from the bottom of my... - MVB (Grinch of FF)

LoL . . that is hilarious . . - pcdave79 from twhirl

I, for one, took the "incident" in stride, thank you very much. ;o) - Mark "DerBingle" J

I don't believe Ive ever seen the phrase 'random hairless poon' used in a sentence before - Threepwood

Isn't it awfully nice to have a penis? - Geoff Schultz

Isn't it frightfully good to have a dong? - Geoff Schultz

It's swell to have a stiffy, - Geoff Schultz

It's divine to own a dick. - Geoff Schultz

From the tiniest little tadger - Geoff Schultz

To the world's biggest prick! - Geoff Schultz

So three cheers for your willy or John Thomas. - Geoff Schultz

wow, you should have saved the pic for evidence! LOL - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

is ok, I can deal with it.. - David Gross

this thread was sooo yesterday. :) - Jason Wyttenbach

still smells fresh to me! must be good hygiene. - Joe Silence is not Santa

there will be no topic gobbling, deadsilence. - Jason Wyttenbach

You got me in trouble for this FFing Enigma! - sofarsoShawn

Why? It wasn't your peter on the page... - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Was it? - Matthew DeVries

I learned when trying to scan your dangle to add to Tina's feed - Do NOT use the document handler. - Matthew DeVries

Ummm no not my p.p - sofarsoShawn

Then I'm not really sure how I got you in trouble, Shawn. I'm curious though, so do explain! - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Ummm no not my p.p however, running today with my friend Mark then we go to World Health and do weights...welllll...I was trying to explaining this story and I couldn't say this word...(penis)...yeah I know cuz the ppl were around. Sooooooo I was trying to explain this story how you got accosted by this penis...and I could not STOP FUCKING laughing. - sofarsoShawn

It's not the penis that accosted her, it's the tweeters that routinely accost her and the penis that is the pleasant change of pace. - Matthew DeVries

You know I'm very conservative and would not say such a word. Also there was a problem with Mark's swipeee thing and the guy at the door was like no need to see id. And Mark was getting so pissed off and I couldn't stop laughing and laughing like ROFL *dead* laughing - sofarsoShawn

Shawn, that's awesome: glad to have given you the giggles =) But MDV is right: I wasn't accosted by the peen, I was just frustrated by guys acting like it was the worst thing they'd ever seen on the home feed. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Mark was seriously about to punch that mofo out and finally he was like FUCK IT WE'RE GOING, I'm mentioning this to your supervisor! And once we got outside I just burst out yelling PENIS PENIS PENIS!!!!!! Finally!! My abs still hurt from laughing. And yeah kids were heading to school & shit, but I finally got it out of my system. Usually I'm trying to get it in hehehehee. The end. - sofarsoShawn

So shame on you for getting me in trouble with your talk of the p. word! - sofarsoShawn

Scott, you didn't miss anything.. check my feed for the horrific image.. That spawned an entire revolution.. - Matt Ruiz

Matt: the image wasn't horrific, don't beat yourself up. My frustration was with the reactions - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Tina, I'd be tempted to just give up and let the madding crowd misunderstand to their heart's content. - Slappy Line

I seem to be missing all the juicy posts lately. Floating peni and vagini? Darn. :( - Mathew A. Koeneker

Pirate radio. Wow, this takes me back. - Steven Perez

Can a principal even fire a teacher? I thought administration had to do that :/ - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

I love that she's like the 90's version of Drew Barrymore's character in Donnie Darko. Only much more cheerful and optimistic. - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

Hehehe, yeah I got that too.. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

I think it depends on the state. Here in Cali, it has to go through the district administration - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

I would've expelled her just for wearing that outfit. - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

I love it. Ten minutes ago she was jerking off over this whole rebellion. And now she's all butthurt. - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

I always wondered why she sought him out to tell him she was leaving, but now I think it's because she knew he was Harry. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

Oh I doubt he ended up in prison after all - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

And thus was born podcasting. - Steven Perez

They talked about putting charges against him because of the suicide, but after the media attention he received I bet he ended up with a decent lawyer - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

At least an ACLU lawyer, if his pop has any pull. - Steven Perez

THE END. - Steven Perez

Probably just with a hefty fine, but I'm guessing the Principal got in more trouble - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

But I bet he was still too shy to touch her boobs. He grew up boobless. - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

Agreed. - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

I hated this movie cuz he never got any boob action. :( - Steven Perez

What I always loved about the movie was that it sort of spoke to the kind of person I was at the time. Confused, rebellious, a little on the weird side. - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

Or wait, it might just be in my deleted items folder still. - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

Oh snap, there's a UStream? Well I feel like a cock now. lol - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

I always liked that movie. Had some good laughs. Good fun! - Thomas Page

Sorry. I'll bash over in the Ustream chat next time. :D And yes, the film is on The Movie Channel this month. I'm recording Sunday's 4am showing. - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

Eh the quality is better if you have your own copy like tonight. It's generally for those that don't own the movie. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

I wouldn't waste a dime on the Dungeon Siege movie. Wait, you don't own it, do you? - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

Not yet. :) - Steven Perez from IM

LOL no way. I won't discuss how I get my movies. :D - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

Yeah, here is way better. - Steven Perez from IM

Sexy. I'm down with that. :D I'll work on my funny before then. - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

Hell, I don't even check in on uStream. I have my own copies. The stream is for those who have neither the time nor the patience to get a copy for themselves. - Steven Perez from IM

Have y'all done Troop Beverly Hills yet? - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

LOL nope. I don't think we even have any Goldie Hawn flicks on the list - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

NOOOOOOOOO!!! We did our time in hell with LEGALLY BLONDE. :D - Steven Perez from IM

I'd rather do Bird on a Wire, at least that had Chevy Chase - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

If I had to do a Goldie Hawn flick, I'd rather do OVERBOARD. - Steven Perez

I'm always up for Overboard. It was partially filmed in the town where my dad's side of the family lives. I also suggest The Burbs. (I can't recall what you have and haven't done yet. I suck as an online friend) - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

All the movies we've done: http://friendfeed.com/haggis-... - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

Oh. My. God. HOW did I miss Singles and Dark City? WTF have I been? - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

If socialized health care is so great, why do all my UK friends have private insurance?

Jeff, when I worked for Siemens, my UK employees fought hard for private insurance. It was non-negotiable for them. When I queried as to why, they explained they wanted to get to the front of the queue ahead of the NHS patients. - Ryan Petty

I don't get it. I have never seen Gov health care run well (Walter Reed anyone?)..... But most seem to be clamoring for it here. I truly don't understand.... What am I missing? - Jeff (the メガマクダジ of FF)

Jeff, for people with no insurance the access to crappily run health care is still better than the option of none. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

I agree Tina. But to fix that we beef up Medicaid, not socialize the whole thing. - Jeff (the メガマクダジ of FF)

To my knowledge the current proposition isn't to socialize the whole thing. It's to offer a national insurance to those to don't have private insurance. In a sense, it's a beef up of Medicaid just like you've suggested. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

It's like the school uniform debate, everyone gains by having a much smaller clothing expense, but some kids will pop their collars to say I'm too privileged for just that. - Micah Wittman

I had the same discussion with my dad recently. When I was in the Army, in the middle of a miscarriage, I waited 2 or 3 hours to see a doctor. And when I had a newborn, the health care was just like an assembly line. We never saw a doctor, and just went from one station to the next.

Michelle - ER's do really good with life threatening emergencies (that's what they're made for) they pretty much suck for everything else, regardless of who's footing the bill. It's like complaining that my sports car doesn't tow well; that's not what it's made to do. I'm not trying to minimize Kidney Stones (they seriously suck), I'm just saying it's not an ER's top priority... hence the wait... - Jeff (the メガマクダジ of FF)

Jeff, I understand what you're saying, but if I had kidney stones, the pain would be enough to need an ER. Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel. Army health care was bad, but I did have a few good doctors. And civilian health care is good, but it has issues, too. I'm not sold either way. - Michelle Martinez

We have a problem - people without access to affordable healthcare. It is a moral imperative that this problem is solved. Most people who feel this way don't really care if socialized medicine is the answer - they just want A solution. We need smart leaders willing to think outside the box. - Chrimmus Tad

Tad - people will care when it fails. We're going bankrupt funding the existing Medicaid/Medicare. - Jeff (the メガマクダジ of FF)

Tina - It's not "just" adding in a safety layer. Obama said recently that he is willing to consider taxing employer-sponsored health benefits to help pay for a broad expansion of coverage. That's attempting to drive behavior by penalizing Private Insurance. I'm all for fixing they safety net we have (we NEED to), but making it the defacto and punishing private insurance isn't the answer. - Jeff (the メガマクダジ of FF)

Note - I don't know what the answer is... I just don't get the Michael Moore push for national health care...... - Jeff (the メガマクダジ of FF)

There's another thing: even people who think they have private insurance don't in fact have private insurance. If you pay for your own insurance - good luck with that, btw - as soon a syou get seriously ill, the insurance drops you- or denies payment.

Nice! - Anna Lynn M.

heads up, the batteries in that vehicle do a tremendous amount of harm to the environment when it comes time to dispose of them & the amount that you save at the pump is also going to end up going towards the cost of replacement batteries at a future date, you should have really purchased a Jetta TDI they get around the same milage and you have to deal with fewer downfalls & you can even run biodiesel in if you like - Dave T from IM

WOW... after that comment, I could just about write anything here :) - Fred Garrett

you don't plan to use the "lane keep assist" to help you do emails on your iphone do you? - Marcel LeBrun

Solar panels FTW! My next car after my current lease is up with be a hybrid. I'm sure we'll make great strides in hybrid and battery technology in the next 2 years. - Alex Knight

@Dave T Volkswagens are known to be horribly unreliable cars, while Toyotas (including the Prius) have proven reliability. - Ben Kessler

Dave: we better learn to deal with recycling batteries. - Robert Scoble

What about nuclear powered fuel cells for vehicles? - Alex Knight

The battery issue is such a myth. They know exactly how to recycle the batteries in to new ones. - Alex Scoble

Cool! - Mitchell Tsai

Does anyone know if the 2010 Prius has improved suspension? - Alex Knight

Does the lane keep assist, keep the new one out of the fast lane? - Fred Garrett

Robert, you said the solar panel wasn't available on the top model? What model is it available on? - Alex Knight

Alex: yes, improved definitely but it is no BMW. - Robert Scoble

Well that much is obvious. As long as it's more interesting to drive. The old ones are pretty squishy. - Alex Knight

A wind powered turbine that spins and creates reusable energy to power things in your car would be cool. Could mount it in front facing vents sucking in mass amounts of air when you drive. - Alex Knight

Looks great. Now you just need to lower it and change the rims :P - Arnold Aranez

Lowering the car will improve handling, but may affect fuel economy. - Alex Knight

I'm jealous, mine's still on order - I probably won't get mine for at least another month. I have driven it and I agree: it definitely drives better than a Gen2. - Paul Wilcox

@Robert Yeah I know and I can see I'll have to buy one soon myself, I just feel Toyota has descended into a 'whitegoods' era of totally unexciting vehicles/appliances.

I want one. Those and the Nissan Cube Mobile Device are made for geeks, by geeks. - Danny Minick from BuddyFeed

What dougcoleman says. A Tesla would have made this thread a lot more interesting. Prius? Yawn. - Gilbert Harding

Prius is Latin for “to go before,” suggesting it is a predecessor of cars to come.:-) - John Brazel

You learn something new each day.............. - Kevin J Hatton

A Prius will be my next car, I'm excited by the fact that it's enjoyable to see how much gas you can save. Everyone I talk to says it's fun, trying to get the most out of a gallon of gas! - Tdubya

In 2020 -people will look back at the Prius like a bad 80's fad and laugh. Remember when? ha ha ha.. People drive the Prius because they want to be seen driving a Prius. Why did Honda switch from a civic hybrid to a Prius clone? Because they couldn't sell the civic because it didn't look like a hybrid. Nobody want to drive a hybrid if other people don't know they are driving a hybrid - gfurry

gfurry Does the hybird Lexus's look like a "typical" hybrids? I don't think so :) haha - Asgeir

I'd rather have the Honda, sorry. That is if I were going to ever think of purchasing a car like this, which I probably won't. Talk about trendy righteousness! - Andy

Robert: Great Car! It has very similar style with the new Tesla Model S Coupe which is not even available until late 2011. - Garin Kilpatrick

gfurry: we also own a Highlander Hybrid. It doesn't look like a Prius. So there. - Robert Scoble

Bill Hill would drive one of these. - David Lloyd

I'd totally agree with you, gfurry, if not for the fact that the numbers don't back it up. 40% or so of all hybrid owners drive hybrids that don't look like hybrids: http://www.hybridcars.com/news... - Ken Sheppardson

@Ben Kessler: Strangely the only VW's with a bad rep are the ones in the US. VW and especially diesels have a amazing record in Europe. I have an Audi [same group/mechanics] A3 (diesel) that has only ever had standard servicing and it's coming up to 190,000 miles and still runs like a dream getting me 45+ mpg. Do US VW's get put together in the US? Maybe that's the difference. - 1x29

Show OFF! But Uber Kewl!! - Arleen Anderson

You know Robert, this would be the perfect car for a road trip across the Nevada desert ;-) - Jesse Stay

Launch, the Sharpee Rocket!!! - Mike Shields

I hate my '03 Jetta. I think it came from the Mexico plant. Trunk latch busted (fixed), arm rest compartment busted twice (didn't bother fixing it the second time). A/C borked (took my '92 Camry 10 years before the A/C died, Jetta was 6). But most of my frustration should be on the dealership 'cause they didn't fix an electrical problem until innumerable times of towing the car in due to battery drain. And congrats Robert! Nifty car and environmental conscious! Someday the Prius will look like a sportscar. - Arlan Koizumi

aww i thought you were going to wait for that tesla sedan - Paul Stamatiou

congrats on the new car! - ashley rowell

Does this mean Louis gets an upgrade too? - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

So, what are the top 5 geek toys on this car (in addition to the lane keep assist)? - Paola Bonomo

Brian: yup! Louis just left our house in his new BMW. - Robert Scoble

Paola: my favorite thing so far is the cruise control. My iPhone's contacts all imported, though. The parking and lane assist features are cool. LED headlights. Satellite radio. Cool display is geeky. - Robert Scoble

And here in India the corolla is the "latest" car. I envy you guys! - Venu Vedam from Nambu

Yup I know. I'm asian. - AJ Batac

I have a friend who lived in Japan as a missionary. He once gave me some pointers on how to use one. I'm not looking forward to every having to put the advice to use. - Joey Gibson

Some Asian countries only have one? That would make a very long line to the benjo! - Josh Haley

OMG Josh. You should see the line... :P - AJ Batac

I hope I'll never have to use one. I can't do the asian squat (http://www.youtube.com/watch...) - Rodfather

liked for Rodfather's link. - Andrew C

A comment at Rodfather's link made me double over in laughter: "Just tried it and found both methods pale in comparisons to simply standing. From a standing position I can kick an Asian or westerner in the head with ease and run away before they are able to get back up." - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

And for the record, when I try the technique in Rodfathers' link, my butt touches the ground. I don' t think I like that. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

Always remember that most Ninjas are Asians. - AJ Batac

Yes, but not most Asians are Ninjas [edit: what the heck am I telling you that for? I'd think you'd know!] - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

Touche :) - AJ Batac

I just tried it again and wtf, I can do it now. Woot 2009 accomplishment. - Rodfather

I look like a Ninja with my balaclava on [edit: GO Rodfather! Get your squat on!] - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

I heard that in some countries. you only get one square of toilet paper. - Alfredo

What Mona said. - Shevonne

That's the easy one. try using the indian style bathroom on indian railways wearing a sari and going 50 miles per hour. Did I say shocks are optional on these trains? - InPerpetualMotion(Gina k)

It's actually better for your health to squat rather than sit - apparently the sitting position is linked to colon cancer, IBS and a whole host of intestinal complications. Also, sitting down to crap is a relatively new thing in the west too... and all the fault of us pesky Brits! - alphaxion

Haha. If you think this is Bad try going to rural China. They only have a canal type of toilet where everyone squats in front of another person and does his or her stuff. Imagine you are the first person on the line. You will have lots of shit floating down wind! LMAO - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

@alphaxian - "apparently the sitting position is linked to colon cancer" - any chance of supplying a link to an actual medical source (i.e. not a website that includes any of 'nature', 'wellbeing', 'natural', 'earth', etc.) to back this - to my mind, at least - absolutely preposterous statement? Cancer linked to sitting? Come on! Next thing we'll hear is that suppressing yawns by keeping your mouth closed is responsible for the spread of the Hanta virus. - Mark H

Mark, maybe not something as severe as colon cancer, but perhaps some more minor ailments such as constipation? If you think about it, it makes sense. Do our closest animal relatives, the apes, use little toilet seats to go?? Did human beings use anything like that until about the last few thousand years? And still that was only the wealthiest of the few people who did it that way. - Kamilah Gill

Actually proper squatting is better than doing it on a chair type of toilet, because you let all you bawls out! So learn how to squat! I live in Japan and have to do it sometimes. You let it all out! LOL - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

haemmerroids provention: http://www.uow.edu.au/arts..., comparison between differring styles: http://www.ams.ac.ir/AIM... and I know you'll discount this one but it does reference its points and gives you some good info, even if it's old data http://www.naturesplatform.com/health_... The following link might be more to your liking since it states that slow transit of faeces is linked to colon cancer http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed... - alphaxion

but then, it could be just one of those "yes it has some effects" then takes you further onto the not so likely (baby steps away from reality). Still, medical tests have shown that squatting is more effective for excretion at the very least. - alphaxion

So, in short, which way is it better to Shit? Sitting down or Squatting? - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

Slam dunk ;) - Joe Dawson

Relieve yourself and build your quads all at the same time. Multitasking!!! - Martha

How about new toilet design? Zero Gravity! You dump and it flies! LOL Should be good for the muscles. No Flexing at All. - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

Haha - Tyson Key

We can get rich of the Zero Gravity Toilet. Just build special rooms for the the consumers. Promote it as good for preventing colon cancer. With the economy in the shit hole that it is right now, what if not Shit will get us out of the shit hole! LMAO - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

Ah yes, I'd actually prefer a squat toilet like this. Used one in Japan a few times. Kind of like camping. - Mike Reynolds

Squatting toilets rule! - Mike Reynolds

*rolls eyes* Outlandish statements are how Arrington moves the space. It doesn't matter how the space moves, as long as it moves, then Arrington can remora off it. He doesn't care who wins or how his little bombs affect anyone, just as long as it moves somewhere. He's like a weapons dealer who foments the extension of wars so he can sell the weapons to both sides. - Matthew DeVries

When there's no accountability for the rich, obviously we need more taxes to keep more people from becoming rich.

Time to eat at Warren's buffet :) - Morton Fox

It's just something that occurred to me. Another slant on the age old why we need taxes argument that has been going on here since friendfeed was booted up. People, who are against taxes, say we should have less to encourage people to get rich. Well given that our current economic problems have been caused LARGELY by rich people who AREN'T being held accountable for their actions, we simply can't afford to have more rich people now can we? Rich people are obviously bad for the economy. - Alex Scoble

Not rich. -------> - Derrick

Either we introduce accountability for the rich that can't be circumvented by a large team of crack lawyers, or we just increase taxes so that no one else can become rich. Seems fair to me. - Alex Scoble

Surely the rich are being held accountable to some degree? their assets must be depreciating too. - Steven Cains

That web site that compares our incomes to the rest of the world says I'm rich. I am not. There should be heavy taxes on being so evilly greedy that you harm the livelihoods of others. Being helpful and rich should mean less taxes, perhaps even none at all. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

Alex, I think you are rich. Now give me some more money before I Cyberbully you! LOL - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

Sorry Cains, but the people who did this to us should not be still employed by any financial institution and quite frankly should be in jail. Since this is unlikely to happen, we'll just have to tax their asses back to the stone age. - Alex Scoble

Or maybe it's just the wrong people getting rich. - ·[▪_▪]·

Ah, this must be an economic downturn. Soak the rich, bring back the unions, lock the borders, and buy American! Hm, or it could be that we the people let congress keep loopholes open, which smart people just use. - Christopher Galtenberg

Bring back unions? They are just as complicit and useless in all this as the rich. We need to bring back personal responsibility is what we need to do and if we can't do that, we should just tax irresponsible citizens back to the stone age. - Alex Scoble

How many Lenins and Stalins would you like Sir? Give me all your money or I will start a Friend Feed revolution? I will send all my Troll friends against you! Long live Gevra! LOL - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

Alex, won't taxing their asses back to the stone age affect everyone? Including people who had no say in the financial market; engineers, designers, entrepreneurs? - Steven Cains

Silly me, I am up for an across the board tax - 10% for all no matter what your income. No loopholes just straight up fair on fair. Why is this thought so unpopular? - Janet

Hey, if the rich can't keep control of their own then obviously they can't be trusted with all of that money. The government can use it more wisely, obviously since we got to where we are today by trusting the rich with their money. - Alex Scoble

Janet, most arguments against a flat tax are because it is inherently regressive. On top of that, the flat tax rate would have to be much higher than 10% to match the revenue from the current tax system. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

In all seriousness, Janet, there's no such thing as a fair tax. A flat tax disproportionately affects the poor. - Alex Scoble

This guy has the right idea - http://news.cnet.com/8301-10... - Brian Sullivan

I <3 Mr. Hastings. - Alex Scoble

Alex, define poor. No tax for ederly at poverty level as it stands. Tina, is this 'higher' when consideration to no more tax breaks/incentives to large corporations making billions of dollars (oil industry) and paying such a small percentage of tax due to loopholes. - Janet

Poor in the US is anyone making less than the median wage of around $45k. That's how I would define it. - Alex Scoble

The argument for that, Janet, is that those business will chose to move outside the US, thereby we will lose what little tax base we already have in them. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Alex: personally, 'poor' should take standard COL rates into account. 45k in SC is good money, in NYC you're barely able to scrape buy. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

So Alex, in your opinion, what constitutes rich? In Canada, I'm in the highest tax bracket and I gross less than $100k/year and take home waaaay less than that. Does that mean I should be taxed to the stone age? I make substantially more than the "average" Canadian though, so does that make me rich? Or are the rich ones the ones that make bad decisions and the ones who honestly bring home wheelbarrows full of cash are not? I think there needs to be a point of reference. - Kenton

I'd say that if you make 10 times the median income for your area then you are rich. However, for the purposes of my statement, the truly rich are those who make 100 times the median income. In other words, enough money so that you can buy off politicians/policemen and do whatever you want. - Alex Scoble

I'm not rich but if I were I'd laugh at Alex and continue to do everything within my power to pay as little in taxes as possible. * Edit: as I twist the ends of my mustachio. - Christopher Harley

Which is why you, Christopher, should be taxed more than you are. I'm watching you! - Alex Scoble

Alex, that's certainly fair, although you kind of prove why your plan will never work in the rest of your statement. "In other words, enough money so that you can buy off politicians/policemen and do whatever you want." As long as politicians can be bought will the people who want to cheat the system ever be taxed enough? - Kenton

Taxing someone to prevent them from becoming rich... Ok Alex ... I think it's time to add you to my "looney bin" list. lol jk -- But really? You think that would solve the issue? If everyone is extended the same thing in life with no expectations of becoming wealthy -- umm that sounds boring. - Brandon

No, Kenton, which is why man invented pitchforks. - Alex Scoble

No, Brandon, not really. I'd much rather that there be accountability built in to the system so that when your actions negatively affect the lives of hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands or millions that your life be thusly negatively impacted as well. - Alex Scoble

accountability in any system starts w/ quality feedback. the better the data, the shorter the span between occurrence and report. the higher the quality of the feedback. of course *using* and *interpreting* the feedback, well... - MikeAmundsen

Could/should someone with an income of only $45k get a loan for a decent single-family home? If not, I'd want to raise the poor standard. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

MiniMage, that again depends on the COL of where you live. In my town, you can get a new construction 3BR 2BA for about 125k, so the person making 45k could very likely get approved. In SF or NYC? Not gonna happen. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

The economic downturn was mainly caused by people trying to get rich and miserably failing. It started with Reagen opening up the floor to enable 'common man' to trade and Clinton, by allowing people to buy things they can not afford. The filthy rich will keep getting richer, regardless of 'tax plans' and or 'tariffs'. - Mona Nomura

I'm not even going to read this thread, I'll just assume it's full of a combination of sarcasm and ignorance. ;) - xero

Government created this mess, not the lack of it. And how many jobs have you ever gotten from a poor person? - Dave Roth

a flat 10% tax? my thinking is that if you make most of the money, you should pay most of the taxes ... i agree with alex here. our current wealth gap makes class mobility almost impossible. and if history is any indication, wealth gaps are a recipe for political and economic instability. - tiffany

Agree with Lindsey. I've been poor and I've been rich. I prefer rich, but in either condition, I am the same person. - Anthony Citrano

Leather, you need to separate out the ridiculous hyperbole from the serious statements I've made in this post. And Lindsey, when some rich assholes in the financial sector decided it was OK to gamble the whole US economy just to make more money, that's when it became wrong to be rich. Guilt by association. - Alex Scoble

If the rich and powerful don't hold these rectal failures accountable, then we should hold all of the rich accountable and make them no longer rich. It's that simple. No one has the RIGHT to put the rest of us in peril and walk away unscathed and that's EXACTLY what's happening right now. We should be OUTRAGED at these people and demand that heads roll (if at least figuratively) and instead all we are doing is bailing them out and limiting their salaries. - Alex Scoble

I've already done it in the thread, Chris. - Alex Scoble

Leather...try using your brain before you tell me I'm not using mine. - Alex Scoble

No Chris, for the purposes of this conversation, rich is being defined as someone who can evade accountability through the use of money and power. The whole point of this thread is that the guys who put us in this mess aren't being held accountable and that we should all be outraged about it...instead we are all so worried (rightly so) about our own asses that no one is noticing them slipping out the exits. Justice is not being served and we should be completely LIVID about it. - Alex Scoble

There is and always will be separation of classes. Depending on the government to control that is ludicrous. Instead, the ones that are aware should worry about ourselves and what we can do for the community, since speaking against the government or trying to change 250+ years of history will not happen any time soon. - Mona Nomura

Leather, you really are showing your intelligence with your comments. Go back to your posting of women in scantily clad outfits as that is obviously your strong suit. Trying to figure out what I'm actually saying is obviously not. - Alex Scoble

Leather Donut meet provocative thought experiment. And I normally wouldn't be so abrasive with you, but you called me stupid without even bothering to figure out what the intent of this post was. Ready, Fire, Aim! Oopsies! - Alex Scoble
