If elected I would place my hand on the Bible and Boy Scout Handbook and swear to uphold the constitution and: Lower spending before lowering taxes. Balance the budget, lower taxes come from lower spending, not increased borrowing. Protect the environment ahead of corporate profits. Against the Death Penalty. Honest citizens should be allowed to own guns. We grow this country from the bottom up, help the poor receive better educations and health care. Education should be equal. Immigration must be tied to jobs and equal, no matter where you come from. Don't allow more immigrants than we have jobs for. Protect our ocean floor, it is ever bit a national park. Make certain are military is only placed in harm,'s way when necessary -and- give them the tools to be successful. In the end, the thousands and thousands of posts that you have read from every candidate is probably a better indication than these statements. I've been consistent with these views. I ran because I am interested in how a platform that mixes traditional Republican values like balanced budgets, gun ownership, military spending, with traditional Democratic values like death penalty, national parks, and protecting the environment would be received.

To be honest I think if you would have done that exact experiement with any number of races/women, you would have gotten the same basic result. Mega mega dittos* Southsider, you are a true American for saying that. *come on, I'm joking, I realize this covers all areas of ideology.

BERLIN (Reuters) - German sex educators plan to launch a spray-on condom tailor-made for all sizes. Jan Vinzenz Krause from the Institute for Condom Consultancy, a Singen-based practice that offers advice on condom use, told Reuters Thursday the product aimed to help people enjoy better and safer sex lives. "We're trying to develop the perfect condom for men that's suited to every size of penis," he said. "We're very serious." Krause's team (spraykondom.de) is developing a type of spray can into which the man inserts his penis first. At the push of a button it is then coated in a rubber condom. if(!CMSB_ID){var CMSB_ID=""} CMSB_ID+="120106_MIDART_editorschoice,";document.write(''); "It works by spraying on latex from nozzles on all sides," he said. "We call it the '360 degree procedure' -- once round and from top to bottom. It's a bit like a car wash." Krause said the plan is to make the product ready for use in about five seconds. He said it would function more effectively as a contraceptive because it would fit better and not slip. However, before the new condom can be sold in shops, the firm must ensure that the latex is evenly spread when sprayed, as well as optimize the vulcanization process. Krause hopes the high tech condom, which will be available in different strengths and colors, will on the market by 2008. He said the spray can would likely cost some 20 euros ($26) as a one-off purchase. The latex cartridges -- sufficient for up to 20 applications -- would cost roughly 10 euros, he said. Krause said he had hit upon the idea when considering the difficulties some people faced using condoms, and drew inspiration from spray-on plasters now used in medicine.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Dec 3, 2006 -> 05:46 PM) A local pet store let you bring in your pets and then they took pictures of it with Santa (all proceeds going to the local humane society shelter, where one of my cats is from). I took my very hyper and loving (and huge 77lb) dog in. She was TERRIFIED of Santa and kept trying to run away from him. It took like 5 minutes to get the picture. By the end there were like 10 people around just watching some people had gotten squeeker toys and were squeeking trying to get her to stop staring at Santa in fear and look at the camera. We finall got a picture of her trying to army crawl away while Santa looks warily at the camera trying to hold on to the humungous dog. At least she didn't look totally terrified in the final result. So much for her winning the cutest pet $250 gift basket. Dang. A picture is worth 1,000 words

QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 3, 2006 -> 07:19 AM) So ... Now North Korea is offering their nuclear material to Russia to get Russia's support. It's been a while since I've read anything on the Russian nuclear situation, but it was a very disturbing problem. No money to maintain the buildings, no money to pay security, no money to investigate the people with access. And government scientists, with ties to some unsavory characters from "negotiations", who had been living in the lap of luxury, suddenly without paychecks. I remember coming away from that book, and the title escapes me now, with the nagging feeling we were less safe with the breakup of the Soviet Union than before. The book was written, largely, with information from one of their scientist who had defected, so who knows how accurate a picture he drew.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Dec 1, 2006 -> 01:36 PM) Don't be shocked now... the Polonium used in the poisoning of the spy came from *gasp* a Russian nuclear plant! The security of Russian's nuclear material should be a concern to all of us. One of the dirty little secrets of the decline of the Soviet Union was missing material. The US purchased, at a huge cost, much of this material. IIRC over 500 metric tons. In a book I read, Russia admitted they could not guarantee the security of the material. Too many people had gone without paychecks and had access to the material.

We are a country of followers. It's sad.

LONDON (Reuters) - British scientists probing the death of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko said on Friday a second man had been poisoned by radiation. Media reports said the man was an Italian he met at a London restaurant. "We are confirming that one further person who was in direct contact with Mr Litvinenko has been found to have a significant quantity of polonium 210 in their body. This is being investigated further in hospital," a spokesman for the Health Protection Agency said. Police and health authorities declined to confirm the reports naming the victim as Mario Scaramella, an Italian contact who met Litvinenko the day he fell ill.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Nov 30, 2006 -> 08:56 PM) LSU had to play at Auburn, at Florida, at Tennessee, and at Arkansas. That's 4 very tough games, ND's first 3 games were pretty tough, but after that they were able to coast until playing USC. Four tough ones, versus four tough ones. It seems your major complaint it when those games were played. I would say playing those right out of the gate is tougher on the better teams than the lesser teams. I'm kind of neutral on Notre Dame. I suspect maintaining their independent status is tough and results in a spotty schedule when other top programs are playing their conference games. Who really wants to schedule ND in between conference games? QUOTE(Spod=Ratings @ Nov 30, 2006 -> 08:56 AM) Well i think Other teams like, Wisc, Arkansas, and Aubrun DESERVE it more, but ND will get it. Lets Just get rid of the frickin BCS. Please... And go back to the invitation system or always, for example, pairing the Big Ten and Pac 10 Champions? That system favored programs like ND even more because they "traveled well". Back room deals to get into the "major bowls" were almost legendary. The BCS is a major improvement for the fans. It can be tweaked, like any system, but I wouldn't throw it out.
