That should be you're for you are. Your is an adjective.

Main Entry: your
Pronunciation: y&r, 'yur, 'yOr, 'yor
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English Eower; akin to Old English
Eow you -- more at YOU
1 : of or relating to you or yourself or yourselves especially as
possessor or possessors <your bodies>, agent or agents <your contributions>,
or object or objects of an action <your discharge>
2 : of or relating to one or oneself <when you face the north, east is
at your right>
3 -- used with little or no meaning almost as an equivalent to the
definite article the <a trait... that sets him apart from your average
professor -- James Breckenridge>

Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary


Any man who does not like, nay love, cats is an insane son of a ***** who
does not deserve to live. When a cat deigns to love you back, then you know
you have arrived and are entitled to live on this earth.

Men who do not like cats are the worst sort of scoundrels and ought to be
taken out and stoned to death. What is there not to like about cats? They
are just like us, only infinitely better because they are more honest. I
would like to come back in another life as a cat. But preferably as a big
cat so I could give the likes of Slugger his just deserts.

Cats are such noble creatures compared to the human scum (like Slugger) who
pollute and infest the earth with their loathsome presence. Truth be told,
we humans are like cockroaches and/or rats. We are basically pests. The
ancient Egyptians had it right. Cats are to be worshipped as the incarnation
of the gods.

I considered a Chevette the "Bic" lighter of cars. Buy it cheap, use it for
2 or 3 years then throw it away

Worked rather well, they were junk but I don't regret buying them

A good point. The terrorists who hijacked the airliners certainly didn't mind
disobeying their religious edicts and thoroughly enjoying themselves before
committing their heinous acts.

Mr. Leuck epitomizes the very worst aspects of Western consumer society.
Every car (not many) I have ever gotten lasts me about 20 years at which
point they end up in the auto grave yard. Mr. Leuck is the typical American
HOG who consumes and consumes with never a thought to the rest of human
kind.

No one should ever buy anything which is designed for throw away. Excuse me
while I go to the smallest room in my house and throw up at this latest
outrage from Mr. Leuck. God will surely reserve a special place in Hell for
consumers like Mr. Leuck.

I wouldn't mind putting a bullet through your thick skull. Anyone who messes
with my cats is courting instant death. My rage would be such that I could
strangle you with my bare hands about your neck if I could ever stand to
come that close to your odious person.

Screw you and **** you all the way to Hell and back!!! You God Damn Scum

Can we stone landlords who prohibit tenants from having cats?

Most definitely! Cats are not the same as dogs or children. They are the
least offensive animals that creation has ever come up with. A landlord who
would not allow cats is lower than a skunk and should be told where to go
forthwith.

Islamic terrorists remind me of children. They seem to have only half a
brain. I have always feared young adults because they do not have fully
developed brains with which to think. They eventually grow out of their
mental deficiencies, but the only solution to the Islamic brain deficiency
is to kill them dead. Can you imagine what they might be capable of if they
ever got their hands on nuclear weapons.

I have been informed that skunks (raised domestically for pets) are much
like cats - other than that I agree with Ed Dolan [1]. Prohibiting cats
is the rule, not the exception in the US.

[1] Very rare words.

Mr. Sherman knows how to play with words better than anyone else on this
group. I lack this ability. I am always going for the jugular. That is why I
appreciate Mr. Sherman more than most. He has the effect of deflating one
and all and, more specifically, lowering my blood pressure, a not
inconsiderable accomplishment when it is always sky high when I come on this
group.

If Mr. Leuck puts me into an early grave, I am going to have my estate sue
him for causing my death. Mr. Sherman I understand; Mr. Leuck I do not
understand. What is really weird is that I agree with Mr. Leuck much more
than I do with Mr. Sherman. Apparently, chemistry is everything.

Whats should be what's for what is.

And my belief is that the quicker assholes like you can stop breathing the
better.

Here in New Orleans, we've just had some sort of "hip hop" music concert which
was also used as a political plaftorm for the adolescents to rant about Bush
reviving the draft, etc.

I wonder where they get the idea that President Bush could single-handedly
"revive" the draft?

And, even if he could, after Jimmy Carter's draft-dodger amnesty back in 1977,
why would anyone seriously think that a draft would actually affect them? Just
wait it out and get automatic amnesty when the shooting stops and all the
heroes are buried.

We are a huge nation and there is no reason for a draft ever again. This is
partly because the nature of warfare has changed forever due to newer
technologies. If there is ever a problem with not enough volunteers, all
that ever needs to be done is to increase the compensation. The old days of
mass draft armies are over. A professional military is the ONLY way to go,

And provided the base is big enough for you to start with and it will
take the foam you want to layer on. Not all designs will. Many will,
granted, but all is not the same as many. And provided your body is
happy in a recumbent pedalling position. Not all are.

You'll probably take away comfort from it, because it's shape that
matters most. Many people have trouble because they assume padding will
mean more comfort, but often it just puts pressure on the places already
identified as not needing any.

But they'll still be physically bigger and thus require more basic raw
material, as well as more elaborate fitting than a seatpost bracket.
You mentioned very high quality foam just now. That doesn't come cheap.

If anyone who has ever ridden the RAAM on an upright can say they
weren't suffering from pain and injury 100% of the time due to their
saddles then that claim is clearly an invention. It is clearly an
invention.
