    He's pointing out that those are all current topics at WAB.

    The "New posts" feature allows you to see the new posts since your last visit.

    Apparently Pari had just logged in, and all those subjects had new posts or new threads relating to/discussing them.

      Is that the same as me being friends with my downstairs negihbor Rasheed, a young black guy that has had an extension cord running from my ap't into his for the last month so he can have electricity(on my dime) because he can't afford to pay his electric bill, just because i like him?
      Sorry he is just robbing you...

          Nah, dude's good for it. He's the sort whose worth helping. He has extenuating circumstances.

            Thats a really nice thing to do...

            Far more noble then refusing to hand that "African" kid in math class a pencil and pretending he didn't just speak to you... as your palms sweat, knees knock and pants get a wet spot... and after class wondering if he can do a tribal dance...

                Yep. I was cruising through all those threads and more while he was still pontificating about what a boring lot we were and why he wasn't sure why he was gracing our presence.
                A simple heads up both confused him and lead him to give me a lecture on how I should make better use of my linguistic skills if I wished to talk to him, at which point I took a deep breath and reminded myself of something I learned a while ago: if Snipe takes agin someone, there's usually a good reason

                  One of the top 3 mistakes made by new members to the WAB, IMHO.
                  Probably to any message board or community for that matter.
                  “He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”

                      What is a fair wage? Some arbitrary wage dictated to others, or what people are willing to pay and what people willing to work agree upon? Seriously, I was mowing my parents own lawn at around 11 or 12 years of age - it isn't rocket science.

                        I am duly honored to be your personal barometer in such issues. ;)

                            I really meant "Extraverted Feeling".

                            Extraverted Feeling is concerned with the likes and dislikes of others and what is socially appropriate rather than what is fair or just. It organizes the external world according to interpersonal relationships.

                            The extraverted feeling type follows fashion and seeks to harmonize personal feelings with general social values. Thinking is always subordinate to feeling and is ignored or repressed if intellectual conclusions fail to confirm the convictions of the heart. When this type is extreme or neurotic, feeling may become gushing or extravagant and dependent upon momentary enthusiasms that may quickly turn about with changing circumstances. Such a person may therefore seem hysterical, fickle, moody or even to be suffering from multiple personality. Repressed thinking may also erupt in infantile, negative, obsessive ways. This can lead to the attribution of dreaded characteristics to the very objects or people that are most loved and valued.

                            But I do suppose he is that sometimes also.

                                How ironic. You have a picture of Lincoln posted, and yet a post that revolves around Lincoln doesn't suit your fancy. Do you like anything besides *****ing?
