If not you probably need to delete each one individually and everyone else will have to follow. | | | Re: hyperbole and inaccuracies

I was kinda disappointed in the first one. But, then again, transformers were my younger brother's gig...I just missed that.

I saw it IMax and it gave me a headache. Rented it so I could give it a fair shake and I liked it better. The mother character was freakin' hysterical.

While I agree that the underlying premise of the thread was probably to incite an emotion, I don't see anything that was not factual about it other than perhaps a misunderstanding about the inner workings of the HCA organization and the remote possibility that the findings of the bylaw committee may not be the final word.
I'm NOT taking any stance with regard to the outcome or how it was derived.
What I do find distasteful is the notion that such findings and ruling should be kept private for the sole reason that the people that made them don't have to suffer criticism. That's not how public democratic organizations should work. Publicly chastising the messenger instead of dealing with the message is also poor form.
There's too much emotion in here...Jake out. Ya know , Jake, How ironic. Everything you said in your last two posts, are pretty much exactly what the Demo majority house and senate has done to the the great people of this country recently. Ironic how you can support that, but then post this. Let me get this straight, it's OK for the house and senate, but not OK for this? Typical warped mind of a liberal. The tide is changing though

For the record no one on the bylaws committee has a vote, the bylaws committee itself doesn't even have a vote.
A Proposal was discussed and forwarded to the bylaws committee.
The Bylaws Committee has published an OPINION on the proposal AS WRITTEN.
What happens going forward remains to be seen.
There is no place in this part of the process for blame.

Unregistered | Other than seeing Meagan Fox's boobs bouncing in slo-mo, I would say the movie was pretty dumb. I went and saw Ninja Assassins the other night and that was 1000 times better than we thought it would be. I am a Trek nerd and don't really 'get' transformers so maybe that's it. Anyway, I don't think this thread is negative, and the more conversation the better for everyone (good bad or otherwise) Just know that we have a process and this is what we (me, in this case) felt was the way to go by having the bylaws people dig and come up with a recommendation. The group is pretty geographically diverse: Canada, CA, OK, and Florida, so they all have different perspectives and this is what they recommended the board take into consideration. Back to movies: As far as cowboys movies go, I am going with Rustlers Rhapsody and 3:10 to Yuma as my favorites. Any movie where Andy Griffith is the bad guy is good. | | |
