QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 22, 2007 -> 03:18 PM) Because Walmart will immediately close the store and fire every one of them with even a hint of union organization. They've done so repeatedly and will continue to do so until the labor laws in this country are finally loosened. And when you're living paycheck to paycheck, as a huge number of Walmart workers are, the option to strike and lose a job just doesn't work, because that week on the picket line winds you up in bankruptcy. And oh yeah, we just tightened the bankruptcy rules too. unions are always great for workers, just ask the auto industry... oh wait....

whites who grew up in bad circumstances, but managed to go to college, need not apply. what is a BLGT?

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 21, 2007 -> 10:12 AM) I see what you are saying about acting locally. But I also think that police "brutality" in Chambana is not even sniffing the same level of evil as what these countries are doing. i was thinking the same thing

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 14, 2007 -> 09:27 PM) Unless there's oil there... of course! did we even get any oil out of the Iraq invasion? I thought that some Iraq oil was supposed to pay for some of this whole thing. I'm sure that got totally botched as well.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 14, 2007 -> 04:02 PM) not in the national interest of the United States to be the policeman of the world.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 11:48 PM) Cruise missile attacks and bombings/patrols of the No Fly Zones. And if we're going to go in the way back machine in this thread to make people look hypocritical, let's go back to the Republican majority's take on the US involvement in Serbia and how quickly many of them are changing their tune about warfare now that there is a politician with an R in front of his name to take the credit for being tough internationally. Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA): "President Clinton is once again releasing American military might on a foreign country with an ill defined objective and no exit strategy. He has yet to tell the Congress how much this operation will cost. And he has not informed our nation's armed forces about how long they will be away from home. These strikes do not make for a sound foreign policy." Sean Hannity: "No goal, no objective, not until we have those things and a compelling case is made, then I say, back out of it, because innocent people are going to die for nothing. That's why I'm against it." Rep. Tom Delay (R-TX): "American foreign policy is now one huge big mystery. Simply put, the administration is trying to lead the world with a feel good foreign policy." Karen Hughes (speaking on behalf of George W. Bush): "If we are going to commit American troops, we must be certain they have a clear mission, an achievable goal and an exit strategy." Why did they demoralize our fighting forces in uniform? Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS): "I had doubts about the bombing campaign from the beginning...I didn't think we had done enough in the diplomatic area." Tony Snow: "You think Vietnam was bad? Vietnam is nothing next to Kosovo." Joe Scarborough (R-FL): "Well, I just think it's a bad idea. What's going to happen is they're going to be over there for 10, 15, maybe 20 years." Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK): "I'm on the Senate Intelligence Committee, so you can trust me and believe men when I say we're running out of cruise missiles. I can't tell you exactly how many we have left for security reasons but we're almost out of cruise missiles." Rep. Tom Delay (R-TX): "I cannot support a failed foreign policy. History teaches us that it is often easier to make war than peace. This administration is just learning that lesson right now. The President began this mission with very vague objectives and lots of unanswered questions. A month later, these questions are still unanswered. There are no clarified rules of engagement. There is no timetable. There is no legitimate definition of victory. There is no contingency plan for mission creep. There is no clear funding program. There is no agenda to bolster our overextended military. There is no explanation defining what vital national interests are at stake. There was no strategic plan for war when the President started this thing, and there still is no plan today." Sen. Don Nickles (R-OK): "I don't know that Milosevic will ever raise a white flag." Sean Hannity: "Explain to the mothers and fathers of American servicemen that may come home in body bags why their son or daughter have to give up their life?" Why didn't they support the President in a time of war? Gov. George W. Bush: "Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is." Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN): "This is President Clinton's war, and when he falls flat on his face, that's his problem." Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK): "The two powers that have ICBMs that can reach the United States are Russia and China. Here we go in. We're taking on not just Milosevic. We can't just say, 'that little guy, we can whip him.' We have these two other powers that have missiles that can reach us, and we have zero defense thanks to this president." Rep. Tom Delay (R-TX): "You can support the troops but not the President." Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS): "My job as majority leader is be supportive of our troops, try to have input as decisions are made and to look at those decisions after they're made ... not to march in lock step with everything the president decides to do." Rep. Tom Delay (R-TX): "For us to call this a victory and to commend the President of the United States as the Commander in Chief showing great leadership in Operation Allied Force is a farce." Why did they blame America first? Rep. Tom Delay (R-TX): "Bombing a sovereign nation for ill-defined reasons with vague objectives undermines the American stature in the world. The international respect and trust for America has diminished every time we casually let the bombs fly." Rep. Tom Delay (R-TX): "Clinton's bombing campaign has caused all of these problems to explode." Michael Savage: "These international war criminals were led by Gen. Wesley Clark ... who clicked his shiny heels for the commander-in-grief, Bill Clinton." Rep. Joe Scarborough (R-FL): "This has been an unmitigated disaster ... Ask the Chinese embassy. Ask all the people in Belgrade that we've killed. Ask the refugees that we've killed. Ask the people in nursing homes. Ask the people in hospitals." Rep. Helen Chenoweth (R-IN): "It is a remarkable spectacle to see the Clinton Administration and NATO taking over from the Soviet Union the role of sponsoring "wars of national liberation." Bob Djurdjevic: "By the order to launch air strikes against Serbia, NATO and President Clinton have entered uncharted territory in mankind's history. Not even Hitler's grab of the Sudetenland in the 1930s, which eventually led to WW II, ranks as a comparable travesty. For, there are no American interests whatsoever that the NATO bombing will either help, or protect; only needless risks to which it exposes the American soldiers and assets, not to mention the victims on the ground in Serbia." The Serbia bombings should not have been done IMO. You thought they were OK? It just seems like the "outrage against war" is very selective. Depends more on if your party won or lost the election preceding a conflict . So really, are dems any better then the people you quoted in your post? is that the new dem platform "we're only as bad as the GOP, not worse"?

I have a pricey road bike, but i covered the frame with black electrical type tape so it looks cheap. it acutally looks kinda cool, but not expensive. hopefully bike thief won't want to waste time on something that he thinks won't sell for much.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 10, 2007 -> 06:23 PM) I went to a country bar (Iowa) last night, and they were playing lots of Eminem and the Akon and Gwen Stefani song. Back home urban bars, yuppie bars, college bars and hole in the wall places with jukeboxes where the customers pay for the songs all play this stuff. true

it would have been better if Bush said "Hello, your royal Highness" and then did a Japanese bow

that video was kinda hilarious i've also never heard of Akron, probably just another lame rapper. QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 10, 2007 -> 05:21 PM) Do you not go out to popular bars or clubs on weekends either? not all popular bars play that this type of music. i guess the yuppie bars probably do.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 12:47 PM) I was asking what the judge did wrong to overstep his boundaries though, I know what Paris did wrong i don't think he did, was pointing out that judges often have a lot of leeway when sentencing someone... therefore acting like a jerk in court is probably a bad idea

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 04:18 PM) I'll take "things Christianity and the US penal system have in common" for $100, Alex.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 11:43 AM) I dont really understand what his boundaries would be, seeing as Im no Lawyer. Could you explain what he may have done wrong? I don't think it's ever really a good idea to antagonize the judge when in court. Stuff like yelling out "May I have your autograph?" at the judge or attempting to merely phone into court will probably just get you in more trouble.

QUOTE(NUKE @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 10:44 AM) Any bill that has any path for these people to become citizens is a bad bill. The last thing this country needs is 12 million more sponges leeching off the system. I would rather spend the money to round these people up and deport them than to hand them welfare and all these other benefits for the remainder of their lives. The only immigration bill I would support is one that beefs up enforcement and that's it. If Big Business wants their mexican labor so badly then let THEM foot the bill for all these benefits. Why should the American taxpayer subsidize cheap labor for the corporations? I agree.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 05:12 PM) This story NEVER gets the attention it deserves, and stories like this is EXACTLY why the "MSM" is biased. Then, Scooter Libby gets 30 months, while all this guy gets is a "don't do it again" and "you can't practice law" - well no crap, he committed a felony! Now, QUICK, you leftists come tell me how this is WAAAAAY different, and Scooter deserved everything because he was a part of the "evvvvvvvvil and lying" BushCo administration... the MSM will definately sweep this one under the rug.
