Doc, don't be such a wimp! All women lie! It is a fact of life! This is why they are better at it than men.

[quote]General Ripper of the Marine managed to cripple the U.S. navy in 2002 using the exact same tactic playing as Iran, using Iran's current fleet capacity[/quote] Yes, but General Ripper only went up against one battle group and had to sacrifice almost the entire navy to win. If we go to war we will have more boats, planes and most important ground troops to play with. Operation Desert Strom we used three battle groups against no real navy, what do you think we will send against a

[quote]There is a game probably more to your liking (but it does require at least 3, and best more, players). it is called Diplomacy. [/quote] Once again you have made a mistake. Risk is a lesser version of Diplomacy, It was made that way because Risk is the child's version of diplomacy. I play Risk almost daily. The computer version is nice especially when you can get a few people to play with the computer generals. America is unique in the fact that they have eliminated disc

Hey, somebody read my book and liked it! I mean someone I dont know! It makes me feel good. She wrote a review on amazon that was nice. This is from Joyce in Florida. "I loved this book. The characters in this book are very believable. Knowing this was a real mission realy brought the story to life. As a lover of action movies, Mr. Tanner kept it real with action on every page.

[quote]The actual number of people who pay no net taxes at all is 10%. I think the 47% figure is propaganda for creating the image of lower income people as freeloaders.[/quote] Have to disagree with this. I work, I have a real estate business, I launched a cosmetic company this year, I work for DHS part time, I write books and this year we are launching a publishing house. I pay no taxes because I work. I file my taxes and get a refund. I got back 154 dollars more than they took from

I am starting an e-book publishing house and have no clue how to set up a website. Allow me to explain. I want to launch the site by December of this year. I have contracted a bunch of authors and can use more! My web genius is going to start working on one of my sites next month but with the new cosmetics company we started this year I don’t think she has the time to do it. It takes about a year to produce one book after we receive the finished manuscript an

This year I was supposed to hire five people to launch my E-book publishing house. Now that we have Obama care, I was only able to give a $2000 bonus to my employees, and not hire new staff. I guess I just became a graphic artist, editor, proof reader,writer, and publicist. All the ones I had interviewed are poor, two on welfarelooking for a way out. hell, for of them were white.

I was at the Glenn Beck Revival tour yesterday. Judge Andrew Napolitano had an interesting observation. The Mustang Ranch in Nevada was taken over by the IRS for non-payment of taxes. The IRS bankrupted the place in less than a year. Think about this. The government could not sell hookers, and booze in a desert to truckers and make enough money to pay the tax bill but we are expected to b

[quote]In that case, I think you are needlessly defeatist. A massive win of the republicans in the White House would not make a veto-breaker, BUT you still could legislate a modification bill that would take out some of the bad parts you hate the most and add parts that you feel it would be best.[/quote] There are not enough seats up for grabs that would be able to overide a Veto from the President. It is nowt defeatist it is reality.

The last one was a former VP candidate that they expelled from the party in the next cycle.

Now we have liberals in the republican party and two of them were elected
