During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.
Al Gore, 9 March 1999
Straight from the horse's mouth, I'd say. Or, are you somehow implying that he'd lie about something like that? Next thing you know, you'll be saying that since he lied about that, he probably lies about many other things, and not merely the those from which he profits.
January 12, 1999 - Britney Spears releases her debut album. Soon afterward, music sales started taking a steep downhill slide. On the other hand, sales of 2.73-minute montages of semi-melodic noise and insipid, repetitive lyrics started increasing in record amounts.
For generations, Pakistan had what is still considered by some a very traditional form of dowry-dispute resolution called "Bride Burning," where the newly-wed young lady mysteriously burns to death while using a kerosene stove. In 1999, the number of reported cases rose to 1600+, bringing international attention to the problem. As a result, kerosene sales worldwide plummeted as young, hip, tech-savvy Pakistanis started shunning the practice. Caustic acid sales, however, have risen dramatically since then.
Regarding the statistics on vehicle theft, 1991 saw the emergence of what are called "RiceBoys." As most of the aficionados of this new (lack-of)culture were, simply put, too poor to afford the objects of their (twisted) desires, many simply stole them. (Apparently, they couldn't afford big hard drives, either, or they would have simply downloaded them.) Note the increase in 1991. That was the year that Honda started selling Type-R stickers directly, instead of requiring a full car purchase (or theft, as the case might be).
As far as the farm operations data is concerned - I got nothin'...
Actually, I'm more disappointed that you said the Chargers are a football team. After living in San Diego since 1984, I can assure that the only San Diego team called the Chargers plays volleyball, especially toward the end of the season...
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Anybody ask Paypal about this?
Well, if you really, truly want to hear PayPal's version of things, then do this: contact them yourself, and report back with their reply. Simple.
As for me, having become familiar with PayPal's ways, both from reports on the Internet, along with friends who have (much to their dismay) been forced to deal with their treachery, I'd long ago been convinced that they are dirty.

Well, I'd like to add that if you still think it's a serious problem, go do a Google Search for "bunched panties", and tell me you don't see some small problem with the people who spend their time whining and crying about what other people do for amusement.
