"could care less" is actually "COULDN'T care less".
My neighbors' son in 2nd year of college is working on Business Admin. He's currently being taught the importance of "correct" communication, which the above is Part of. (A very Important Part !) He's shocked and surprised :-) "If we don’t adhere to the Constitution on matters as significant as presidential eligibility, then the Constitution ceases to be a meaningful document for guiding our nation."
... And evidently wasting his time and money. “Anti-semitism is a disease–you catch it from Jews”–Edgar J. Steele “The jew cries out in pain, as he strikes you.”–Polish proverb “I would like to express my heartfelt apologies for the unfortunate and tasteless quotes I published in my tag lines. I am very sorry and ashamed. I never wanted to offend anyone, or to encroach human rights."- Hmmmmm
Indeed. But how many times have we both heard people say that wrong? Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends. Paul Craig Roberts "When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." Frederic Bastiat

But, "could care less" is much funnier. : ) " If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes. " Randge, Poet de Forum, 1/11/11 "Life's tough, and even tougher if you're stupid." --John Wayne
Indeed. But how many times have we both heard people say that wrong? I think Chris Kyle used it wrong in some of the quotes from his book that have been highlighted recently.
I do believe that I could care less about Chris Kyle with a bit of effort. : ) " If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes. " Randge, Poet de Forum, 1/11/11 "Life's tough, and even tougher if you're stupid." --John Wayne
hehe.... :^)
yes. could care less makes no sense. Truth is still truth even if no one believes it. A lie is still a lie even if everyone believes it.
Loose is the new lose.
Truth is still truth even if no one believes it. A lie is still a lie even if everyone believes it.

I could almost give a $#it about Chris Kyle. Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state.

You too, huh? Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state.

So which form(s) of the following sentence(s) is(are) correct? A) Obama is a horse's ass. All of the above (except you are using the wrong animal--Obama is a jackass).

"The real deal is this: the ‘royalty’ controlling the court, the ones with the power, the ones with the ability to make a difference, with the ability to change our course, the ones who will live in infamy if we pass the tipping points, are the captains of industry, CEOs in fossil fuel companies such as EXXON/Mobil, automobile manufacturers, utilities, all of the leaders who have placed short-term profit above the fate of the planet and the well-being of our children." - James Hansen

Lie and lay - I still don't have those rules down. I know I got laid last week; I ain't lying. I get them right about half the time. I welcome any simple rule I can memorize. I'll lie down tonight and do so...or is it lay?

Mr. Bear has bare arms.

You're welcome. Fred, do you ever hear from the Toddler these days? Last I heard he owed you some money.

No, I haven't heard from him in years...only online news forums. I have an address, but his phone was disconnected last I tried...again, years ago. I've written it off for the most part. I had a guy who owed me money (about $300) and disappeared for years. Turns out he spent about 4 years in the pen in Florida and like the Prodigal Son returned here to his daughter's home and the area. He did pay me back in full and we are still social friends. So maybe there's hope yet. Edit: p.s. I learned my lesson about loaning money and unless it's 20 or 40 bucks, forget about it.
#28. To: Fred Mertz (#27)
Glad you got your money back. And maybe Todd will pay you back someday too. I suppose stranger things have happened. Now, about that 40 bucks...? ahahaha.
