Life is about choices.
Good choices.
Like BigTex - although I dislike Texas.
Like FerretLover - although I despise the rat things.

Congrats Big Tex and ferretlover 
Gentlemen Thank god you are here together right now!. I do believe it's time to hitch up those Crown Vic's and head out on your first mission.
We have an impending ruckus over on the 'Peak Oil Discussion' forum, specifically the 'Alberta' thread. An Expert is taking flack and is seriously wounded. Down. Mayday mayday mayday  I'm breathless

| Rat things. I have a rat living somewhere around my wood pile and he seems okay. Just a squirrel with a public relations problem, seems to me. Why do people get so bent out of shape about rats? |

My ferrets are not rats!
Must be a carryover from the Renaissance-all those diseases...

In China, rats are considered very clever, and they're associated with wealth, charm and order. There's even a tortoise-hare fable in China, but it's a race between a rat and an elephant. I probably shouldn't even be using the word "rat" because Chinese don't differentiate between rats and mice. They're both called "shu" in Mandarin. Whatever you call them, they don't eat cheese; they eat rice. 
Word to the new mods. I'll try my best to be a good little Freak.

And this is a serious question...not intended to dilute this moment...
But why does PO.com have mods?
Really...
This board is on auto pilot... |
I think to delete the porn mainly. |
No more doomer porn ? 
Oh, you mean the other kind of porn? Before you "delete" it, do you have to watch and make sure it is really porn ? That's what I heard from the Senators on the indecency review panel. |

Unfortunately, yes. The "delete" button is located at the bottom of the thread, so you have to open the thread and scroll to the bottom, which means past any pictures that are in the post.
It's definitely not an exercise for those that are easily offended
