Why not publish these documents and things? in US Domestic JoeUser Forums

I got one of those stupid forwarded e-mails that no one bothers to check before they send, you know, the ones that say something sensational, yet when you do a little checking you find no substance or supporting information. Well I got one this mornig that made me look, and even check a little to see if there was any truth, because if there was, WOW would it be a bombshell if it made it to the main stream media (fat chance). <span style="font-siz

I said it would not work!! in US Domestic JoeUser Forums

I have to say I am feeling a little of both self rightious and down hearted. I decried the Wall Street Bail out or rescue or whatever term you wish to call it (call it useless now!!) when I heard about it and researched what I could. Why bail out a bunch of people that basically got themselve into this problem to begin with. I said to my friends, who of course get tired of my political rants, but listen anyway

Thank you thats quite a compliment.. I appreciate it.

"Why is George W. Bush's disapproval rating the lowest of any president in modern history ? ( 68 % )" in US Domestic JoeUser Forums

Because most people (hence the numbers) do not research things for themselves and believe anything they are fed by the media in general. They do not look at other news or sources of information to make up their own minds about things that the President has said or done. They have been brainwashed by the main stream media. Even when the main stream media says something that is against what they want to believe they will not except it... They hear something that fits with what the

"It is 110 yards from the "E" ring to the "A" ring of the Pentagon. This section of the Pentagon is newly renovated; the floors shine, the hallway is broad, and the lighting is bright.

US Military Desertion Rates...reports misleading!! in War on Terror JoeUser Forums

I am sure by now you have heard that the US Army had an 80% increase in the desertion rate since 2003. Or did you hear how the desertion rates are the highest rate since 1980??
