QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 01:08 PM) good lord look how dumb our TV media is... totally "durrrrr, me worked at EPSN! me yell a lot on TV at politic stuff!" or how about this guy and his lame beat poetry while covering the news. a complete dimwit.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 12:08 PM) What if someone said "He's just another George W. Bush, but older" No one would care. I've basically heard it said a bunch of times on tv and by Obama supporters. I also wonder if McCain is too old to be president, I guess that makes me guilty of ageism. But it's unrealistic to not question it when someone would be 78 after their second term. So if some 98 year old runs for president no one can question if their too old?

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 02:05 PM) The disappearance of England, and Europe, continues apace. The Telegraph reports (italics mine): Muslims have complained over a police advert featuring a puppy sitting in an officer's hat. A police force has apologised to Islamic leaders for the "offensive" postcard advertising a new non-emergency telephone number, which shows a six-month-old trainee police dog named Rebel. The German shepherd puppy has proved hugely popular with the public, hundreds of who have logged on to the force's website to read his online training diary. But some Muslims in the Dundee area have reportedly been upset by the image because they consider dogs to be "ritually unclean", while shopkeepers have refused to display the advert. Tayside Police have admitted they should have consulted their 'diversity' officers before issuing the cards, but critics argued their apology was unnecessary. Don't think it could happen here? Remember this story from May? The student in the teacher-training program at a Minnesota high school who was compelled to leave because of threats by immigrant Somali Muslim students who took offense to the dog he needed because it was specially trained to deal with a medical condition he had. The second part about the teacher is what gets me. The dog is trained to help notify people when the guy has a seizure. He left the training program because one of the students threatened to kill the dog. good old political correctness gone awry. things like this are just so incredibly stupid there really isn't a reply that does it justice.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 07:04 PM) What would it take to get it a system like France's in place? a lot of countries that have 'free' health care for all citizens also put a cap on costs. for example, the have a list of how expensive medical care is for just about everything. in Japan it's only like $15 a night for a hospital stay. In the US it's a zillion times more. If costs remain the same, universal health care is going to be a MASSIVE increase in government spending.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 04:24 PM) If Obama can be attacked for "lack of experience", McCain can be called out for the "experience" he claims to have. they can run any kind of ad they want. like i said, call him out on this. sounds like a winner for McCain.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 03:43 PM) Did you know John McCain crashed 5 airplanes in his military career and finished 5th from the bottom of his graduating class? I think the American people would find that interesting. i think the American people demand attack ads about McCains military career. *waits for ad to totally backfire on Dems*
