To me, though, that is very different from standing on the edge of a 200 m, sheer cliff, with nothing between you and a lethal drop. I am completely at ease in every aircraft I have ever flown in, but froze up completely on a scaffold three floors up while on a painting crew.
The only time I believe that I don't like heights is when I'm capable of dying and there's little support (maybe a poor structure). Though I try to stay clam in most situations as I believe panicking is practically useless.
haha, very funny. No, I meant thirty odd, as in thirty people, give or take. The bastard just went around this history place with a gun and started shooting. He hanged himself a couple of years ago... I htink I might have to go google it so I can get correct info.
Yes. That nifty and spiffy looking tie does lok very presidential! Hah! we have a prime minister that powerwalks everymorning
Yes! Forget Obama, Adamant for first black president! Just make sure to have the forum as your running cabinet.
Hulls Raven as Secretary of State / Homeland Security Comrade Ivan as Secretary of Defense Cogito as Attorney General DOZ as Secretary of Health and Human Services Banzai as Secretary of Energy
Me? as health minsiter? mwahahahahahha whatch out schools. there's a maccas heading straight for your canteen... ahem.. maybe I should start looking a little healthier and maybe join PM John Howard on his walks.
And does this mean I gets a free trip to AMERICA! Wicked! I'd vote for you in return for my greencard! and as long as I can come back to Australia whenever I can of course.
Hmm.. what about a job as an ambassador with Kangaroo Country? and you can even be paid in Kangaroo dollars!
Mr. Chuckles aren't ya???? Kangaroo dollars? Hmmm.... as long as I get free food and stuff, I don't care.
Well, that interjection was quite odd. Does anyone else wish that the president wasn't Commander-in-Chief? I mean, he didn't serve in the armed forces to begin with. How does he know what should happen? I think it should be a little more dispersed amongst a group. We can't expect a George Washington every time we throw out a ballot. [/rant]
Hey, but the thing is. I wouldn't want the job of leader of a country, really when I think about it because they are damned if they do and damned if they don't.
In a note that ties the topic to the thread, I'm going to be honest and say that, although my grasp on politics is probably not as high as that of a Washington DC employee, I don't think it's too stupid for me to be scared of the incumbent government and administration. Really, the thought of them running everything just puts me on edge.
In the words of a great woman: Love me or hate me, it's still an obsession. Love me or hate me, that is the question. If you love me then thank you! If you hate me then **** you! Lady Sovereign, i salute thee.
