I shop Wal-Mart rarely. Not because I have anything against them morally, but because they pissed me off once. So I avoid them if at all possible (and mostly it is possible - except for those stupid 15 popcorn tins my wife wanted to give away for Christmas!). Oooooh, you better hope she doesn't see th
And if I could turn plastic to gold I'd be rich. There's no point dealing in hypotheticals on such a strange issue. If population movement was easy it would be impossible to stop immigration at all, and very easy to avoid a warzone or a famine. Chances are a great percentage of the world's population would be at least partly noma

As I commented on Gideon's article, there is Poverty, and then there is Poor. Poor is purely sibjective. The right side of a bell curve, and as such, there will always be poor. I was poor starting out in life. I was never in poverty. Poverty is the lack of basic necessities. And it really does not exist in the US except w
The results so far are just the opposite. Not all, maybe you should pay attention to the good side of Iraq for once in your life and realise that Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites are working together to create a better Gov't for all the Iraqi people and rebuilding Iraq. The problem is you refuse to see any of
I love how you ignore all the successful elections, then judge everything on a new government that isn't even formed yet. Hypocrit. On that I agree. Like I said in the other article Col, yes I agree we should not push our beliefs on to other cultures, it is just not right. But to condem eve
Even if we assume that they're paying them $8, do you know what the cost of living is like in Chicago? Do you know how much a one bedroom apt goes for in Chicago? I actually do. Link Not bad, almost the same as F
Yes, I'm sure that majority of the 25,000 were people who were on their lunch breaks from their jobs with Fortune 500 companies. Ever heard of a second job? Not everyone who has one job looks for a second job out of necesity, more like ambition. They can't get the high paying jobs so they get 2 lower pa

At least say something bad.
For anyone that believes electing Hamas as the majority in Palestine is helping secure peace, you are truly in a different world. Where in the world did you get such a stupid idea like this? Are you that desperate to challenge people and prove a point that now you resort to making up things that no one
Ummm... Pakistan != Palestine My mistake. Wrong name. Hey, I'm human.
25,000 (yes, 2 zeros) applied for the 325 jobs! Yes another sign of how robust our current economy is. I seem to notice a lack of the word "unemployed" in there, specially after the 25,000. I must be mistaken. </
The previous Arab Palestinian government was also a terrorist group. I support the Arab Palestinians' right to choose which terrorist group should command their attacks on Israel. Good one. He makes it sound like Pakistan was a good country gone bad because of us. Shows how little he knows. They

OK this is better, Sorry, I clicked submit too fast forgot to see if I pasted it correctly. If anyone know or can help me delete the other article I will gladly appreciate it.
The U.S. Census Bureau claims that the US has over 30 million poor people or roughly 12% of the population. 30+ million people, that’s a big number. Here’s a good question for everyone, if this number is correct, or let’s even say there may actually be only half as many(15 million for those who don’t want to do the math), why are there so many people poor? What exactly does poor mean? By definition poor means lacking riches, needy, lacking in signs of
Darn, it came our wrong, my bad. Will fix
A bump for the right reason.

I've never worked for a company that didn't appreciate hard work except for maybe a factory job I had in my late teens. A bit of contradition there don't you think? I never lost my job because of the company itself, but because of employees who were threatened by my abilities. As I said before, I only
"WASHINGTON, Jan. 25, 2006 – The number of U.S. troops serving in Iraq has decreased to around 138,000, which was the level deployed there last summer, a Defense Department military spokesman said here today. "We have come back down to the troop level that we were at back in the summer of '05," said Army Lt. Col. Barry Venable. U.S. troop levels in Iraq were temporarily boosted last year from around 138,000 to about 160,000 troops to provide ex
"WASHINGTON, Jan. 25, 2006 – American troops are an "essential stabilizing tool" in Iraq and their presence is needed for "Iraq to emerge as a responsible nation in a tough neighborhood and to keep the terrorists out," the commander of U.S. troops in the Middle East said today. Army Gen. John Abizaid, head of U.S. Central Command, discussed stabilization efforts and U.S. troop levels in Iraq during an interview with radio host Laura Ingraham via tele
So here we have a terrorist group now leaders of an entire country. Is that really a bad thing? I mean we can't get to Hamas cause like Bin Laden they were hard to find. Now they are the Gov't of Pakistan. Sounds like they just made it easier for us to get to them and gave the world more reasons to keep fighting terrorist. It seems that now no one will be able to deny the terrorist threat to the world. The way I see it, they just made it easie
While she is the darling of NOW If this is true then she is in serious trouble cause in todays world NOW is no longer NOW anymore, NOW is YESTERDAY and TOMORROW is NOW which makes it YESTERDAY.The only thing that can be considered NOW is what has YET TO BE.

I like gid comment."cult of victimhood" Who is the person who likes to keep a record of these kinds of new words? This would be a great addition. OK, maybe I'll put a little bit of fault on Bush. To Mr Bush: Why have you not gotten me a good job? Why do you not address me by m
A little self promotion there before I comment. It's good to hear from someone else who isn't indoctrinated into the whole "cult of victimhood". Nice article, though I only read the first few lines. I will read it with more detail when I have a chance. I am not afrain to admit my mistakes. I sh
