Look, you screwed up, admit it, exit gracefully. Tiny URL is a website that does not hide anything, its purpose is to take a URL a mile long and make it nice and short. You can even create a shortcut on your favorites and do that automatically. I have had that link for a long time and when I updated to the latest Firefox I lost it. I saw the extremely long link to the article, I went to Tinyurl I made a new favorite and used it.
BTW, what is your favorite conspiracy theory, it would be interesting.
Well, it's not about the Bilderbergs or Holocaust myths, or New World Order conspiracies or anything else on AFP

And if I have a favorite conspiracy, and I choose to share it, I'll post a direct link to it instead of a tiny.cc subterfuge.

I appreciate that you would not try to hide the URL like some people around here try to do and fail so badly.
When you post a full link and I go to that page, all those characters on the link that I will study carefully no matter how long the link is, will be extremely important to me to the point I might not even read the article.
Thanks, it has been ... interesting.

OK, I will do just that.

AFP is in actuality Agence France-Presse, a French news agency subsidized by the French Government and NOT the weekly "newspaper" I linked to in post #32.

So, I apologize for that.

BTW, if you want to shorten the link just user the URL tag button on the toolbar like this:

That way, people can mouse over the link and see where it leads to.

Been to the forums that want you to use Tiny too. Used to drive me crazy. :D

No problem Hobbes, at the end of the discussion we are friends exchanging opinions, having fun and learning.
That way of shortening a link looks more complicated if I have to do it manually. The Tinyurl is a click on the favorites.

Got this on my email today, I think it fits with the overall topic of taxes, spending etc.
Source unknown.
I bought a bird feeder. I hung
It on my back porch and filled
It with seed. What a beauty of
A bird feeder it was, as I filled it
Lovingly with seed. Within a
Week we had hundreds of birds
Taking advantage of the
Continuous flow of free and
Easily accessible food.

But then the birds started
Building nests in the boards
Of the patio, above the table,
And next to the barbecue.

Then came the poop. It was
Everywhere: on the patio tile,
The chairs, the table ...
Everywhere!

Then some of the birds
Turned mean. They would
Dive bomb me and try to
Peck me even though I had
Fed them out of my own
Pocket.

And others birds were
Boisterous and loud. They
Sat on the feeder and
Squawked and screamed at
All hours of the day and night
And demanded that I fill it
When it got low on food.

After a while, I couldn't even
Sit on my own back porch
Anymore. So I took down the
Bird feeder and in three days
The birds were gone. I cleaned
Up their mess and took down
The many nests they had built
All over the patio.

Soon, the back yard was like
It used to be .... Quiet, serene....
And no one demanding their
Rights to a free meal.

Now let's see.
Our government gives out
Free food, subsidized housing,
Free medical care and free
Education, and allows anyone
Born here to be an automatic
Citizen.

Then the illegal's came by the
Tens of thousands. Suddenly
Our taxes went up to pay for
Free services; small apartments
Are housing 5 families; you
Have to wait 6 hours to be seen
By an emergency room doctor;
Your child's second grade class is
Behind other schools because
Over half the class doesn't speak
English.

Corn Flakes now come in a
Bilingual box; I have to
'press one ' to hear my bank
Talk to me in English, and
People waving flags other
Than 'Old Glory' are
Squawking and screaming
In the streets, demanding
More rights and free liberties.

Just my opinion, but maybe
it's time for the government
To take down the bird feeder.
