Um yeah, POD sucks ass. :puke :puke :puke :puke I really doubt that RPS and SnR want to crap up their station with Christian pseudo-rock. Especially with RPS' stance on religion.

Carol was an asshat. This is common knowledge. I just hope that the Democrats can muster a good candidate against the English Teacher's Worst Nightmare in 2004.

Hey, Apu, you'll probably have to go to one of the OTHER stations he's linking up to! RPS is very busy playing Korn and System Of A Down!! Body Count rules, by the way! Body Count does rule!

what is an asshat? that is not a phrase used in western Michigan and the picture in my mind is too bizarre for words - help me out here, please! And I will agree that Ashcroft is one, whatever it is. It is just a random slang term making fun of somebody. Ashcroft thinks that calico cats are harbingers of Satan....this is true. He also hailed a confederate southern magazine (that sold t-shirts celebrating the assassination of Lincoln) for "setting the record straight". The voters of Missouri were right...They were faced with the decision for Senate: John Ashcroft A 7 week old rotting maggot ridden corpse And the corpse won. That should say something.

I don't know how many of you read Tom Tomorrow's cartoons, but they are f***ing hysterical. www.thismodernworld.com

Hey Red, can we hear a little Body Count on SnR this year?

a little more information than I needed to know. :puke

Haha, making fun of Carlos Lee. There IS something that me and BJMarte actually agree on doing.

Not really BJ. They have sources and, unlike Colin Powell, don't plagiarize info from 1992.

I just hate France because they think they can blackmail Eastern Europe into opposing the US. This goes against everything America stands for. France doesnt deserve our friendship and I hope they dont join us against Iraq. Being allied to such assholes is what hurts our reputation to foreigners... Mayhaps, you might want to read about some US blackmail of Europe. This, OldRoman, is blackmail of the purest kind. Be pro-war or we collapse the economy, what humanitarian aid. US to Punish German 'Treachery' by Peter Beaumont, David Roseand and Paul Beaver The Observer (UK) Sunday February 16, 2003 America is to punish Germany for leading international opposition to a war against Iraq. The US will withdraw all its troops and bases from there and end military and industrial co-operation between the two countries - moves that could cost the Germans billions of euros. The plan - discussed by Pentagon officials and military chiefs last week on the orders of Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld - is designed 'to harm' the German economy to make an example of the country for what US hawks see as Chancellor Gerhard Schröder's 'treachery'. The hawks believe that making an example of Germany will force other countries heavily dependent on US trade to think twice about standing up to America in future. This follows weeks of increasingly angry exchanges between Rumsfeld and Germany, in which at one point he taunted Germany and France for being an irrelevant part of 'old Europe'. Now Rumsfeld has decided to go further by unilaterally imposing the Pentagon's sanctions on a country already in the throes of economic problems. 'We are doing this for one reason only: to harm the German economy,' one source told The Observer last week. 'Our troops contribute many millions of dollars. Why should we continue to support a country which has treated Nato and the protection we provided for decades with such incredible contempt?' Another Pentagon source said: 'The aim is to hit German trade and commerce. It is not just about taking out the troops and equipment; it is also about cancelling commercial contracts and defence-related arrangements.' The Pentagon plan - and the language expressed by officials close to Rumsfeld - has horrified State Department officials, who believe that bullying other countries to follow the US line will further exacerbate anti-Americanism and alienate those European countries that might support a United Nations resolution authorising a war. German industry earns billions of euros every year from supporting the US Army Europe which, although reduced from its Cold War heights, still totals 42,000 troops and 785 tanks - almost three times as many as the British Army owns. Many of these soldiers and their fighting equipment, including Apache helicopters, have already been sent to the Gulf. German industry is heavily involved in supporting the US presence. Among the defence companies which stand to lose out are missile-maker Diehl, aerospace and defence giant EADS Deutschland, armaments maker Rheinmetall and vehicle maker Krauss-Maffei Wegmann. There is also a US Air Force contingent of about 15,000 service people with bases at Bitburg, Frankfurt-am-Main and neighbouring Ramstein, where the commander doubles as part of the Nato command. This force includes nearly 60 F-16 fighter-bombers and a squadron of A-10 tank-buster aircraft. Rumsfeld and his staff have made no attempt to hide their fury at Schröder's 'treachery and ineptitude' over Iraq. Last week Schröder leaked to reporters a Franco-German plan for avoiding war by increasing the number of UN weapons inspectors before informing his American counterparts. 'After this, Germany is finished as a serious power,' one of the sources added. 'This is simply not the way to conduct diplomacy at a moment of international crisis.' One diplomatic source said Rumsfeld was 'furious at Germany. He is a bruiser and it looks as though he means to do it'. Under these plans, the US would move its troops in Europe eastwards to countries such as Poland, the Czech Republic and the Baltic states, all of which have strongly supported America's line against Saddam Hussein. It is likely that the overall size of the deployment would be reduced, as the US military changes its priorities for a long-term and disparate engagement with international terrorism. Although Rumsfeld had already been considering a redeployment of US troops around the world after a war in Iraq to save money and respond to new threats, the plans now under consideration go far beyond what had been discussed. It is likely that future years will see a sharp increase in the proportion of special forces troops able to deploy rapidly across the globe. Germany would suffer considerable financial loss if US forces were withdrawn from the country. The bases provide jobs for local people as everything from administrators to cleaners, and are huge customers for dairy products and bread.

OK, well I disagree with you too but we live in the greatest nation on Earth and we have the great right to say what we want so you are totally free to think what you want. "To those who scare peace loving people with phantoms of lost liberty my message is: Your tactics only aid terrorists for they erode our national unity and diminish our resolve." - Attorney General John Ashcroft So yeah, with an asshat like that in power...I really see our civil liberties consistantly getting flushed down the s***ter. Would you mind explaining that quote? Im unsure what Ashcroft is saying. Thanks... He is saying that anybody who comes out and says that the searches without warrants et al. that are totally unconstitutional is just scaring the American public. He is essentially saying that those who don't agree with the administration's total rap of the Constitution, then they are aiding terrorists.

Same here. But our government would never lie to it's people.

It just went up in flames so damn fast. The fire chief said that the building was engulfed in about 3 minutes. Sheesh.

The Gulf of Tonkin was at the start of the Vietnam "police action". Our government said that some of the Communist Vietnamese fired on U.S. ships in the Gulf of Tonkin and it was that event that influenced Congress to give our President power to wage the Vietnam police action. Later on, it was discovered that this attack in the Gulf of Tonkin never happened. The government lied to the public to get us involved in Vietnam. That, in a very brief nutshell, is the Gulf of Tonkin event from 'Nam.

Haha, I have said it before and I'll say it again. I have too much time on my hands being a college student so I did some digging and found fun factoids like that about our first lady.

Those guys aren't well liked in either party, haha. I mean Dubya is a boozehound coke addict, his wife killed somebody running a stop sign after which she got busted for DUI's and Dick Cheney's been busted for DUI's and has that whole energy scandal.

I'll join you.

So I take it you'd rather have Joe Lieberman? The same Joe Lieberman who is best buddies with Pat Robertson. The same Joe Lieberman that is friends with Bush I's drug czar. Joe agrees with the drug czar's stance that "all drug dealers should be beheaded" and that to fight drugs in Washington DC, "they should round up all the black people and put them on barges in the Potomac". The same Joe Lieberman that has worked with the Parent's TV Council (the head of which, his dad worked for the Goldwater campaign and was for nuking the Russians....nice Christian values The same Joe Lieberman was part of the Parents Music Resource Center that has censored music for over 20 years now. The same Joe Lieberman that wants to have a rating for TV, movies, music, and LIVE concerts and have the government set all these up. That's pretty damn scary. But the fact that he has worked closely with Phyllis Schlafly and the Eagle Forum, that scares me quite a bit too. Joe Lieberman scares the s*** out of me and if he became the Democratic candidate. I'd be forced to vote Green. Kucinich is the least s***ty of the s***ty candidates out there. He is anti-war, pro-shutting down SOA/WHISC, and he is vegan (he's batting 1.000 in my book so far) Come on now, who would you rather have......Al Sharpton or Dennis Kucinich as the Democratic candidate?

Do you ever listen to the immensely retarded things that come out of your mouth?

Look at the Democratic candidates. Kucinich wins by default, haha. KUCINICH IN 2004!

Would you guys be so pissed if France was pro-war and said this about the anti war countries?

That's how Lebron James got his Hummer. There are loopholes out there. It's been quite covered even in the corporate media that people can buy SUV's and have a lot of it covered in tax breaks and loopholes. Hell, when they cover a story like that on PTI, then you know it must be pretty big. Not every person would want an SUV because many see the ecological damage they can do. And trust me on this, CK. I am a college student. I have nothing better to do with my tons of free time than read the news, haha.

There are loopholes that allow for SUV's to be purchased and pretty much written off as tax deductible for the most part. Bush and the U.S. didn't sign on the Kyoto Accord. I think saving the environment is a great idea. But I guess Georgie doesn't. Maybe it was all that booze and cocaine that messed with his brain.
