Okay smart mouth, name ONE where the US killed a bunch of people i'm not talking bout the govt. we're arming their govt. we're trying to disarm their citizenry. their citezenry, that is following our 2nd ammendment, to the letter...for the purposes of a well organized malitia.
who are these people not the speaker of the house or the senate majority leader i hope they lied to their own party to get their position as leaders 23 senators did not vote for the war authorization bill. 133 house members voted against the iraq war resolution. that number includes 6 republicans and 1 independent. that number also includes nanci pelosi, who voted against the war. tell me what she lied about? as far as reid goes, i've written a
Because we don't go around killing people just because they aren't of our religion. yeah, our country has no history of that or anything similar...lmfao!
but it's an important fact that should be understood. it is, and it is worth mentioning...thanks. and thanks for reading btw...that's appreciated as well. i still owe you an apology for the out of line language i used weeks back. i'd like to formally offer that apology now that i have your attention in a non-hostile moment (lol). and btw,,,brandie,,,surprised to see you here...lol
Not quite, Sean. The Bill of Rights does not grant a single right to the people. Rather, they RESTRICT the ability of the government to attempt to infringe on those rights. point taken gideon, but i don't think it changes the checks and balances premise
wish people weren't so freaked out about nuclear power. yep,,,i think jackson browne and company evidently went a bit too far in their "no nukes" hysteria in the 70's where people are still shell shocked, especially those of us who remember 3 mile island and don't realize it was almost 30 years ago and not to beat a dead horse, but innovations and technologies have happened since then in the areas of nuclear safety. and if we get on that horse again, wi
so you back putting our troops lives on the line for political gain shame on you like i said, i don't agree with you. it's not about any political gain. what am i trying to gain exactly? i'm not a democrat or republican. what would i gain? i can't vote for or against george bush ever again...what would i gain? i am doing my duty as a citizen, sir. exercizing my right to free speech in registering my grievance with america's
lol, thanks poison
Get over it. Go write another song to stop the war, dude. Like anyone's listening. at least i know that you have,,,and thanks for both you and dan there,,,thanks for your comments,,,we already knew we disagreed here. guess that's not gonna change. i can live with that.
and where did the co2 in coal and oil come from mars huh? aside from that... i gotta say,,,and everyone knows this might cause 4 horsemen to appear on the horizon,,,but i agree with whip on the whole. i don't know if i go as far as "at any cost" as i think if we found people combustion to be a really good fuel (and renewable) i'm not gonna endorse a "soylent green" type fuel initiative. and i have always held that carlin quote dear a
It's easy to defend the things we like. It's easy to defend the people we like. It's easy to conceive that the things and people we like and want for ourselves should be our "right." But rights aren't about things we like. Rights are about things we don't like. Defending free speech is about defending your enemies right to speak. It's about speech and things
So...where do people think that sugar cane is grown. Do environmentalists really want to hold up Brazil as the beacon of enviro-friendly policies? i wouldn't "hold them up" as a beacon of enviro-friendly policies per se, but i would give them credit for continuously trying to improve. have they found every answer as you demand? no, but i've seen them take problems that rise head on in this issue. again, are they perfect? no, but who is? is that the sta
Congress has sent the appropriations bill on the Iraq war as they promised. They have listened to the American people who have overwhelmigly demanded, as their employers, that President Bush begin a withdrawal from Iraq. The bill is not my ideal bill, but it is at least in the direction the nation has pointed the government in. The President has responded wi
Last night, the 8 democratic candidates took center stage in South Carolina. They took part in a 90 minute, introduce yourself to america kind of debate. While nothing will be won or lost from this debate, in all likelihood, some did well and could see some poll bumps. Others, might see some numbers slip. And of course, for the lower tiered candidates, slipping much
"The key to Iraq is the sharing of the oil revenues" is a line we hear about the political solutions of the country. And I don't doubt that necessarily. I am no nation builder, and defer to people more knowledgeable on the subject, like Joe Biden, who's plan calls for such a move. Of course, he is not alone. virtually every expert on Iraq concurs. Iraq concu
The people above us "might" be (IE: President, Sec Def, Joint Chiefs of Staff, etc). let me spell this out....the military works for the executive...the executive works for the people. we might not be the military's "direct supervisor" but we are it's boss.
We (the US) for the most part can't grow sugar. i'm aware of that miler, but thanks for the clear point. what i was saying is that our politicians are latching on to corn, which is probably the most widely grown crop we have, hopin for a nice quick and neat solution to our energy problems. of course, it would be real good for them to be able to deliver an energy solution and provide positive economic benefits for their districts in doing so. whereas i kn
You are completely wrong in your talking points rendition; boob...you are obviously a bush loyalist, which is your right. and if you think i am a democrat or a "liberal" you obviously have no clue about me. the fact is that your point of view, which is the administration point of view (the only talking points i see here) have no credibility with anyone except your little club. but only a simpleton who sees things in black and white would make the charge
thanks guy, and thanks for the suggestion...much appreciated:)
CORN ethanol , at least as technology currently stands, is next to a waste of time in the respect that politicians are pushing it to be the next wonder fuel. all the points you make are certainly valid on that. what brazil has done isn't about corn ethanol but sugar ethanol, which is much cheaper and efficient in it's production and conversion. unfortunately, our farmers grow too much corn, not too much sugar. our political powers that be are trying to push the corn thing as some sort
this week, scientists announced the discovery of a planet, about 20 light years away, that seems similar to earth in the respect that it might be able to support life. Or, for all we know, may already support life. I thought about those those signals we send out to "see who's out there" that contain little snipits of our culture, language and so forth. And
If the government wanted to keep it quiet we would never have known what happened. ya wanna bet? maybe in 1942 it could have been. but what these fat old white men are learning is that we live in a much different age. sometimes it takes awhile, but the truth does come out eventually in most cases. As a civilian you don't seem to understand because you don't live with them. The mindset is much different than in the c
happy b-day & many more!
At the distance of that planet, they should have started receiving them 50-60 years ago I guess. i have no idea about that. all i know is that the system is about 20 light years away, roughly. but your idea about with all these waves flyin around, what the "1st thing they might see" got me thinkin... what if it was south park and they think we are bunch of 2 dimensonal, foul mouthed kids? what if it was porn? what if it was g
So what is Tim Kaine's excuse? corruption isn't exclusive to any party. bribing or corrupting 1 official who can "executive order" something past the legislature is certainly a lot easier and cheaper than trying to buy the legislative votes one at a time.
