Sorry that you feel the way that you do but as a mechanical engineer for all of my life I always look for the how did they do that. One of the first questions posed in this post was how did they keep those skates clamped on for Kelly to go through all of those moves and I was responding to that question. Many things that were done by the movie industry are fake and many times they had stunt men stand in for them so looking at how did they do that ruins it then don't look at that aspect and believe that everything that you see on the big screen is true and gospel and go on you merry way. I on the other hand will look for how they did it so if you don't like it don't read any of my posts simple isn't it. But you couldn't have that as a lefty now could you. It's like they say if a conservative doesn't want guns he doesn't buy guns but if a liberal doesn't want guns then nobody should have guns.

*********************** Why can't you see that a stunt man accomplishing a feat is any less worthy of applause than the star. Just like a con, you must degrade anything you can. Why couldn't you accept my comment as it was offered instead of bringing politics into it.
We both know that the skates were adhered in the same manner we did as children. They destroyed quite a few of my shoe soles. It was sort of a badge of honor to carry one's own key even though it was interchangeable with your pals'.
10 to 1 those skates were glued to the bottom of those shoes and the appearance of the old style skates was only for show. Sort of like that imitation fire hydrant and imitation cars that were all built for the set. The cars may have been real sorry.
******************* How sorry I feel for you that you must dampen anything beautiful with your unmanageable skepticism. How sad that you are possessed by unbeautifying anything. You would gain by just sitting back and enjoying.
When I was at Fort Sill,Oklahoma,in 1955,there was a guy named Tom McCarthy,That could whistle,like a whole college glee club.
************************ Yours is the type of memory I was inquiring about. I do recall men, simply walking on the street and whistling. It was also used in films to ward off nervousness or indicate a carefree atmosphere. Does anyone remember these incidences? I believe it was also used in cartoons for the same purposes. Maybe this was more prevalent in the cities. In addition, Dad sometimes used a matchbook cover placed perpendicularly in front of his lips in order to get a separate sound.
I recall Mom asking Dad to whistle for her. As I recall, there were many styles. Does anyone recall the era of whistling? When and what made it popular and when and why did the custom die out? Just thought I might rekindle some old memories for other old farts.

*************** Well, isn't it you cons who appreciate talking from the heart? Truth is that the Democratic Party has failed to put together a program. I believe they began their failure by insisting that Clinton lead the party even while Bernie was leading her in the competition with 45. Had things just be allowed to take their course, Bernie would now be the President of the U.S.
If they have nothing to do with your president then why is your president doing everything he can to suppress the investigation? When you are wearing a witches hat and riding a broom then you shouldn't be claiming that something is a witch hunt--cuz they might just be hunting you...
***************** 've noted that all of 45's choices for any office either have been criminal in the past or soon learn how \ to become one.
I still have a problem with women breast feeding in public. Not because the breast is exposed or the sight of a baby nursing is gross (it is very natural). What I have issue with is breast feeding in a busy or nosy place is not conducive to good digestion.
************** Oh get off it PL. I was under the impression that "feed on demand" was the accepted version of nurturing babies. After all, the mother's breast being used for feeding IS the most natural method. Perhaps if women's beasts were not always expected to be "covered up," the fixation on breasts might just resolve and would then be accepted as their original purpose. Don't you recall when ankles needed to be covered? Just recall
Where did the idea that sex was dirty come from? It all stems from that.
Recall how some prudish people were upset when Michelle Obama wore sleeveless dresses. Women must refrain from exposing certain portions of their bodies "because it might upset males," but when do the males take the responsibility and control over their minds.
Remind me once more, just how is the NRA involved in any gun crime anywhere? They don't actually legislate any gun laws nor do they manufacture any weapon of any kind nor do they sell any weapons of any kind. So how are they the fault of any gun crime? It seems like the condition of society as a whole is more to blame then the NRA. If big money gun bills have an impact then the politicians are to blame. "Works against Christ" speaking of working Christ just which verse are you referring to? I never surprizes me when liberals talk Bible they never mention abortion. The safest most secure place in the world should be a mothers womb but in reality, it is the most insecure and violent place! Does that living "thing" in the womb have a heart beat? Is "it" alive? Is there ever any chance that when born it will be anything other than human?

*********************** But the NRA does have quite a large influence in DC to protect its gun-selling businesses by buying congress people.
The difference is that Republicans state that they believe in life in the womb but do nothing to help the fetus after birth. Better not to be born than to live a life of poverty and bias under conditions where the family cannot support this extra expense. Only the mother should be able to make judgment on this. It is the post birth conditions that the mother takes into consideration and Righties do not. It is they who are pulling back on moneys spent on education and social network agencies. Their philosophy is "Save the fetus but to hell with the person."
What kind of a gun control bill would have prevented the murders at Santa Fe? The guns used was a shotgun and a .38 caliber revolver, both belonged to his Father and were legal! He was 17 years old and advertised the fact that he wanted to KILL! You are so obsessed with hating the NRA and those of us that understand the necessity of being able to defend ourselves, our loved ones and our country, that you incapable of actually putting the safety of our kids first! There always seem to be a mental problem with the shooters! Wouldn't that be the first thing we consider? Then there is the security problem...........Not enough apparently! We have got to have multiple layers of security! Metal detectors!!!! Armed and experienced security!!! We have men and women x-military that are perfect for this job!
Screaming about GUN-CONTROL is useless! It's time to put our kids first, set aside all this political bulls....., and solve this problem!!!!!!! I have no doubt it is doable! And its high time that IT is done!

********************** Has anyone thought of holding the parents responsible for insufficient storage of their guns. I wonder if they leave poisons around for tots to lay their hands upon. In my youth parents were held responsible for the actions of their children.
********************** If a man goes into a bank with the purpose of holding it up and there is nothing in the vault, does it mean that he was innocent of attempting robbery?
{{It adds further fuel to the debate surrounding the ethics of the president’s ability to enrich himself through US taxpayers’ money while remaining in office. }} What better person to do such is/was Obama. He not only enriched himself from beginning to end.. even when he was a NOBODY..... he knew how to con people afterwards.... why? Cause he was BLACK... that's the magical word now!!!
****************** OOps! You missed your chance to open your post with "I am not a racist .. ." 45 says that all the time yet his actions prove the opposite.
