CHINESE COLE SLAW

1 head cabbage, shredded
5 green onions, chopped
1 stick butter, melted
2 pkg. Ramen noodles
1 can sesame seeds
1 pkg. slivered almonds
1 c. oil
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. vinegar
2 tbsp. soy sauce

Toss cabbage and onion together, brown noodles, sesame seeds and almonds in butter (add sesame seeds last to prevent burning). For dressing mix oil, sugar, vinegar and soy sauce in blender. Toss all ingredients together just before serving.


I digress, Dave from Milwaukie.
In fact, I generated a poem to show you exactly where I stand on the issue. Take a minute to read it. I call it...

SLOPPY JOE BURRITOS

burrito size tortillas
ground meat
green onions or yellow onion, chopped
fresh tomatoes, chopped
chopped lettuce
shredded cheese (any kind)
green bell peppers
1 pkg. dry Sloppy Joe mix
1 8 oz can tomato sauce

Steam tortillas. Cook meat mixture according to Sloppy Joe mix package except don't add tomato paste - use tomato sauce instead. When cooked, place tortilla on plate. Spoon meat mix down the middle of tortilla, then put cheese on the meat and put the rest of suggested toppings on then roll the tortilla up Burrito style.
This is a really good recipe for kids because it's easy for them to hold on to.

Makes about 6-7.

MilwaukieDave:

I see that you have some special need to disrupt my thread all the way from Oregon, where clueless liberals abound. Take your road act to another forum, douchebag.

Loss of basic moral compass is a major key.

Pimping of post-modern nihilism as per media / academic programmers has been highly instrumental.

Be happy!

Expectations vs. reality.

False sense of powerlessness, contributing to e.g. periodic psychotic outbursts
& unhealthy acts of situtional over-compensation.

too much EGO delusion.


Still smokin' that weed, eh? Why don't you mail some to Dave in Milwaukie, Oregon. He might be able to relate.

Anything in the discussion you'd care to actually challenge here ... Troll, or are you simply set on nattering on with a complete disregard for LOGICK?

How long have you suffered from your chronic small man's complex?

That's funny, Guitar Man, I was just about to ask you the same question since it's my thread.

But I'm sure that Davie and you have a good recipe for hash brownies.

Keep livin' in the '60s, dude.

You can even go back to the 1950s when the Interstate Highway system was built. Also, that was the same decade that airline industry really began to take off(unintended pun.) Students could travel further from home for college of university. Moreover, they could easily live in different states from the rest of their families. I have family in California, Florida, Maryland, Winsconson, Saint Louis and Chicago. I suppose a few decades ago this would have been unthinkable. So while the Interstate and the airline industry drew the economy together, it also drew people apart.

Quote:
Americans are aware that crime rates began sometime in the 1960s to climb very rapidly - a dramatic change from the early post-Second World War period, when U. S. murder and robbery rates actually declined. After declining slightly in the mid-1980s crime rates spurted upward again in the late 1980s and peaked around 1991-1992. The rates for both violent and property crimes have dropped substantially since then. Indeed, they have fallen most dramatically in the are as where they had risen most rapidly - that is, in big cities like New York, Chicago, Detroit, and Los Angeles.


Steve Levitt did some very interesting research on this. If you ever read his book, you'll see what I mean. Basically two things happened in the early 90's:
1. That was the end of the crack boom.
2. 18 years after Roe v. Wade crime started to decline dramatically. I know social conservitives don't like those data, but it doesn't lie. There is a clear link between legal abortion and lower crime rates.


Quote:
In 1958, 73 percent of Americans surveyed said they trusted the federal government to do what is right either "most of the time" or "just about always"; by 1994 the figure had fallen as low as 15 percent. Europeans, although less anti-statist than Americans, have nonetheless seen similar declines in confidence in such traditional institutions as the Church, the police, and government.


Look no further to see the moronic 'truthers' spewing their misonformation. That should be proof enough. Jinju said it nicely when he said:

I know that seems a bit too simplistic to some, but it does cover all the bases.

Clueless liberals abound, eh? I am from a city of 3million people having a huge p1ssing contest to see who hates GW Bush the most. Care to throw your hat in the ring? Oregon, at least it's 3million more people spread out.
