It is a shame that you don't like the country of your birth. You should live in Europe for a few years and you would be begging to come back to the USA. I had the misfortune to be forced to live in France for a whole year. Third World contries had more to offer than France, to prove my point I have a house in the Philippines. It is as close to America as I can get outside
Dan GreeneNovember 21, 2006 23:17:47 I apologize if I seemed rude, i just get that arguemtn a lot - from my girl friend...we agree on numerous things, but that's not one of them. I think partially because I was raised around guns, etc...and she wasn't - her parents are against them. I've also been stressing with the last week to week an
full time job is 40 hours per week. Your mother works 17 hours a week according to you. Money, you see, is exchanged for goods and services. In this case, services being rendered in the form of a job. If you are only working 17 hours per week, you will earn less than half of someone who is working full time. Ergo, your mother is poor because she's only working 17 h
I get racial slurs and insults hurled at me EVERY SINGLE DAY on my job, yet I have to suck it up and not respond in kind. Geesh, what the heck is your job? I call complete BS. It is such a double stand
You'd be surprised how much more dangerous guns are to you then a criminal at least statistically. I know I was. Yes yes, of course...the guns are going to jump up and shoot you...*rolls eyes*, it couldn't be the person who is handling the gun fault, no...course not. *rolls eyes again* *picks up his eyes after rolling t
Weeelll....I think that's kind of splitting hairs, drm....I think he meant if you use a gun unprovoked. Now, if someone attacks you, that's another story. At least I think that's what he meant. That is exactly what I mean. Sorry DrM, shouldve clarified myself there.
Silent, let me point something out to you, if she is a UPS employee and she does not have insurance then she's stupid (not my intention to insult her). I work for UPS, part-time, but thru an agency so I don't have insurance. But every person in that company that is a UPS employee has insurance and 95% of them are part timers, only some supervisors and managers are full-tim
Your mother lives in poverty because she is not working. So the question is why she isn't working. Is she disabled? Eh, she's working but she's not working? How do you figure? She hurt her back pretty bad a while back, classified as partially disabled, and 58 years old. There have been few who have hired her. Her current job, and one bef
I don't hate Muslims. I don't really "hate" anything. I loathe Islam as an ideology Ummm, that makes no sense. So, you don't "hate" those who practice, but you loathe what they practice...but...how can you not loathe those who practice it, while you loathe the ideoloy? How about the muslim terrorists? Do you loathe them? <b
Islamism that we are fighting against Eh, NO. It is terrorism we are fighting. Not Islam. It is the blood shed that is being spilled by so called muslims (who have been denoucned by other muslims btw). It was terrorists, backed by a perverted form of islam, that attacked the twin towers, who run AQ, etc... ~L<br/
Yeah, this I find uber strange. It really goes against their so called stance. Go figure, politics...
What's wrong with believing that G-d will kill unbelievers Himself? I personally find it hard to believe, that a God who preaches compassion and love...would strike down non-believers. It's...well, unbecoming and hypocritical. ~L
We have lost no battles and have dominated the battle field like no other war in history. We won the war yet people want us to run away. What is it with you people, is losing so good to you that you can’t stand to win even once? Once again the nation seems divided by anti-war activists and Democrats seeking political advantage. Once again there are leaks in the news pap
If you can find a survey that demonstrates that a significant % of Christians support murdering innocents in the name of Jesus or whatever, feel free to post it. I thnk you'll have a difficult time finding any such evidence. Granted, as a whole it's not like that, however there have been christian bombers and such, i.e. abortion clinic bombers. S

And I agree with Baker. Restrictions on freedom are not good, but when you threaten someones life, do not expect them to hand you a freedom medal. That said, I think that Muslims
This is evil I say....EVIL!!! *cackles* Oh, dang it...I shouldn't have done that. Now you know, I did it all. *evil laugh* *dashes off to his evil lair* ~L
Oh, forgot to add the rest. She works as an ECS clerk at UPS. No insurance as she is part time, just her check...
Why is she poor then? Does she have a job? What is that job? She brings home 140 $ a week, 580$ a month. She gets 16-17 hours a week.
I do think they are real, it's no different than pen pals, or phone friends. It's just through a different medium. I've encountered some great people, and have had good friendships. I send my regards, losing a friend, no matter how you met them, is horrible. Peace, ~Lucas
Statistically, the persistently poor are stupid - in general. Well, statistics fail in the case of my mother. She would be, statistically....poor, for the last...oh, 6-7 years. She's below the poverty line, and she's not stupid. That's one case where statisticas "in general," fail.

The United States is perceived to be arrogant and self-centered by many foreign countries. And by some of those in the US.
Lets us just admit defeat, get out and let Iraq be Iraq. As it always was. A collection of tribal factions of all sorts looking for a strong man to govern them. Sooner or later they will find one. They did that all along their history. That is the way it was and that is the way it will be. The British knew that well and they supported Bush in this miserable adventure knowi
Happy birthday you two. ~L
