The guy obviously has some problems. First, being a Socialist, second, some anger management. BTW if this was an attempt at poking a little fun at Dems, they can be the same blood thirsty killers as Republicans when the cause is right. Kill them mother f***ers kill! Don't show us the body bags, just kill.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 07:08 AM) Yes the US government is smart enough to pull of 9-11, bomb the OKC federal building, hide aliens, and make George W Bush the President, but they can't plant a couple of WMDs in Iraq for people to "find". Great point. Of course you are probably an FBI plant.

Whenever government run health care is debated, nay sayers point to the conditions in military hospitals as proof the government can not run a health system. So the issue has been around for a very long time. One reason our country has gotten stronger through the years is fixing things when the public* gets excited. This may very well be one of those times. *I can't type public without hearing Ron White

I wonder how many Americans that don't wear foil hats believe the government is killing citizens? And I can believe the McVeigh told Nichols he was "connected" and I can believe Nichols believed him. I would just be shocked if a guy lied to get something he wanted.

And my local Korean Presbyterian Church has a similar credo that involves strengthening the Korean community in the area. Churches minister to a specific audience and strive to improve that community and the lives of those members. My Church speaks of belief in one "Catholic and Apostolic Church". We try and improve the lives of Catholics, why a separate Catholic and non Catholic? My employer asks it's members to recite a Oath that begins A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, etc. Why just say Scout? You may feel it is wrong for a Church to minister to, and market to, a specific audience. I don't see a problem with that. If their Mission is to strenghten the Black community in their area, then God bless them and my prayers are with them along with all God's Ministries around the world. And, at least in my book, religion is one area I have zero criticism of Bush. I believe it is genuine and sincere, unlike many of the other candidates.

What would be a whole lot better in this situation is if people actually put some time and resources into helping Native Americans. The poverty rate, health profiles, education levels, etc. are abysmal on the reservations. In the end, this doesn't actually do anything for them.

Pick any player in the middle east and they are the biggest threat to world peace. No other region has the interest of the world like that region. Just ask the people of the Sudan.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 04:13 PM) LMAO. Nothing like every "military man" that's a Democrat coming forward and saying "Iran's next!!!!".

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 03:58 PM) I think I'm going to vomit. Nothing like a military man not wanting to go kill somebody, it'll make anyone vomit.

Man Survives 16 Story Fall and thanks God. Wow, that's original. Welcome to Tex's God talk of the day. If, as this man believes God has a plan for him and wanted him to survive. That's wonderful. But ask yourself, did God's plan call for you to get so f***ing drunk you run through a window? What, is God hangin' with some buds and says, hey, I got a plan for this guy, but first, I'm going to really f*** with him. Get him all liquored up and have him take a 15 story plunge, and break his leg and two collapsed lungs and a torn trachea . Nice plan there skipper. If I was this guy I'd be thinking God has a plan for me but I don't want to play anymore.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 11:44 AM) Even the jury didn't think he was innocent once they got out of the trial and saw all the stuff they were shielded from. I saw a few interviews with them, breaking down and crying because they suddenly saw all of the s***, and realized they probably let go a killer. The defense did a good enough job in the trial to keep a shadow of a doubt in their minds, and therefore they had to go with a "not guilty". As for continuing to go after Simpson, if it makes his life miserable in anyway, and adds a little purpose to the Goldman family, I say keep going after the SOB. Agreed. But notice we never seem to see his mom?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 11:42 AM) Her rep said that "life is hard for celebs, they dont know if people like them for them." WTF does that crap mean? No one would be our friend for the coolness factor or rush of being around a celeb. But who really can trust anyone around them? Let's try a test, everyone send me $100 and we'll see if I'm trustworthy enough to send it back.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 09:17 AM) Would you be offended by an all black college using a mascot where a black person painted their face white and danced very stiff and rigid during half time? That would crack me up.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 10:28 AM) I'd only give him half a vote. See you all in hell. I'm really going to hell. At dinner tonight it was said that Santo and Banks were the heart and soul of those Cubs teams and that the current team lacks that, I replied Santo lacks sole today . . .

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 11:39 AM) My I Pod is broked. The screen display is that sad face and when I plug it into my laptop, I Tunes doesn't even read that it's hooked up. How do I fix it? Have you called tech support yet?

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 11:34 AM) I agree with that, but is it HER fault? If I'm a 20 year old Britney and a record company offers to make me more money in a few years than most people will make in their entire lives, I'm gonna sign the contract 3 seconds after they ask. . If it is a race, I signed two point nine seconds faster.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 11:28 AM) Well, Goldman didn't ruin OJ's image. OJ did that by killing two people. And getting away with it. Are there people who think OJ is innocent besides the jury?

Kap, the greatest cost we face in this war are the lives that are lost and can not be replaced. An argument can be raised that ignoring or publicizing those deaths is politicizing the deaths. If an error is to be made, then reminding us of this cost is the error I would like to make. To elaborate. The Pro-War Hawk's agenda is advanced when we discount all costs of the war. The Anti-War Dove's agenda is advanced when we inflate all costs of the war. So no matter what we do, it is politicized. So which is the lesser of two evils? Which supports the Troops in a respectful manner. Again, both sides will rightly believe theirs is the correct path. Because intelligent people fall in both camps, I believe we are best served by healthy debate and in the resulting balance comes strength. For me, I want everyone to recognize the expenses and what we lose in time, talent, and treasure while we fight this war.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 09:05 AM) I think any time you politicize "death counts", it's disgusting. I also think my point has been very clear. I think anytime deaths are trivilized by proponents of war to argue about continuing a conflict, they are not honoring the Troops. One needless death is too many. There are no acceptable death counts above zero.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 08:28 AM) If you knew who murdered your kid, and you knew they were still living the good life (for the most part), how easy would it be to just "move on"? It would be incredibly hard, but if while he is living the good life, you are stressing about revenge, who loses? My heart goes out to the family, and perhaps he has dealt with this and it isn't overwhelming his life, but when I do see an interview, it seems like it is.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 07:06 AM) This was an odd situation with all of the side stories about people being asked for help and denying that help. I know I have gotten out of bed many a times on weekends to make sure that someone didn't get into a dangerous situation. I can't imagine turning someone down and either making the drive drunk, or with someone who was drunk. Same here, I've also made the call a couple times, good to have friends you can count on.
