Reply to Blow up a Kid for Mother Earth Day in Politics JoeUser Forums

[quote]I long ago lost respect for CNN, and rarely read more than their political blog posts (and then just to see how wrong they can get it).[/quote] They have really bought into that "Tea Party is a radical right-wing movement" philosophy. I'm not a Tea Party member, but I find myself defending them because they do seem to express the common Americans view point, despite the name calling levied against them. Every poll seems to indicate that. Don't CNN research that for themselves b

[quote]I agree, but his point is that by calling them something else, they would be more palatable to more people. However I have to ask - to which people? The MSM would not be fooled, and they are the ones fooling those who are opposed to guns now.[/quote] I agree... so what is the point, beyond suggesting a different name? 97 posts, on or off topic, won't change the vernacular, nor IMO should it. Anything discussed will be in the realm of fantasy. It might be an interesting concept

[quote]But so far, have not seen a word on CNN about it (but I do understand the NYTimes made a mention of it on page A-39).[/quote] What a disappointment CNN is turning out to be. I saw this video on another site (not FOX) a few days ago (just can't recall now). The message it should be sending is what will happen to the few that get in the Eco-terrorists way and that if you keep your mouth shut and approve their agenda you will be fine. People in general are stupid, or at le

Why pretend? "Gun" (Firearm, pistol, rifle) is fine. Anything else is fantasy and probably not suited to a political forum to befin with. It is what it is.

[quote]But I am not going to live in a place where they start nickle and diming you to death. As it will not stop with just Fire, it will grow to everything the locality does (and your taxes will just be used to pay over inflated salaries for the elected officials).[/quote] Yeah that's how those things usually work. One seems like a good idea, so before you know it three or four is poping up. If they really needed the money $75 over the course of the year in the property tax isn't so

[quote]I understand compensation. They could have went out and taken care of the fire, then billed the family, even put a "late" fee on it....just to let it burn though? Wrong.[/quote] Right! It would have been simple to bill the man the cost of the equipment usage, and firefighters pay, etc. That would have still encouraged others to pay the fee on time, the fire dept. would have earned money over the the cost of the $75, and they wouldn't have gotten the ba

[quote]to marry consenting adults they are in sexual love with' [/quote] That one gave me a chuckle, just because of how you phrased it. So you are advocating special rights for a minority? Not saying that it's wrong or right. Seems everyone wants to be special, above others, and they damn well better get a law saying so. IMO the Constitution is for everyone, its intent was not to create a special class of protected people. The laws must fit a wide range of people, s

[quote](I didn't realize breast implants have a "shelf" life of about 10 years, give or take 5!)[/quote] Hum, I did not know that either. Perhaps because of the issues past with silicone. I assume the majority now are saline. See this is becoming a learning experience for us too, just wish it were different circumstances. It would almost be worth it to have a zipper (or Velcro) installed. Sorta sounds like having tires changed. I wonder if free valve stems and a front end

Tova, they say if the dreams are close to your waking, they don't count. I'm one of those guys that fall asleep with the TV on and I've noticed it gives really strange subliminal messages to my subconscious. Especially those wacky late night infomercials. Throughly entertaining though. When the wife had cancer (not breast), she had traces in 13 out of the 20. The chemo cleared it out, no problem. As for the boobies, sure it is nice to have a little something to hold onto, but

Oh, I'm not advocating for MS products, not by a long shot, just some friendly banter with DG. Vista, I have to say, never gave me any problems. I wasn't an early adopter (It came installed on two laptops in the house) so missed out on that fun. I did however have some things I could of lived without, but I wouldn't go as far to classifying it as "painful". I did however adopt Win 7 early (couldn't pass on the price) and both those Vista laptops are now using that OS. I like Win 7 a l

Well the dollar is shrinking, 9% over the last several months alone. China is raising prices slightly too.

[quote]What I find funny about Obama is that when he does his speeches he still seems to be in campaign mode. [/quote] He;s a one trick pony. Campaigning is the only thing he's done that was unquestionably successful. It makes me laugh when he starts sounding like a preacher, an attempt to sound like MLK I suppose. It just never quite works for him, he sounds weak. In keeping with the hilarity in government theme, did anyone catch Rahm Emanuel's pathetic platitudes to his boss
