Level it and make it a parking lot, then it won't be a hassle. Well except for the engineers who have to pour the concrete on shifting sand.

I agree.

Ergonimists in my opinion are for people who work on farms or in factories, since lifting something the wrong way can easily put your back out of commission for at least a couple days. Working in an office, eh..I can't really see the need. Except for typing but, that is covered by buying a different keyboard.

Hopefully the furry won't absorb cat-girls into their culture. That would doom hentai communities for eternity.

And an epic battle would commence, to save the beloved cat-girls from the clutches of the demented and evil Furry!

If it was possible Jacob, We'd hit a bar and drink until we couldn't feel feelings.

That requires a credit card. Even hookers have some self respect albeit very little.

Anyone notice that when self respect goes down, people will do more for less?

My point was: If we take away one right then who says which rights we get to keep? When it comes to your religion, who decides? Shirley Phelps Roper, you, me, George Lucas?

The fourth amendment; Do people like George Bush get to decide if we are allowed to keep it?

My points go on so it was hardly "over the top" since I can name different groups that want to take down each amendment to the Bill of Rights. All the way down to putting prohibition back into effect.

I don't believe I have grand solutions to the problems of our country either. I do however realize a mistake when its being made and I have the evidence to back it up as to why socialized health care is a bad idea.

I also know our Government is a complete failure when it comes to providing for those it already spoon feeds. All the information is in front of you and you can choose to educate yourself or you can choose to pass it up and remain in the dark.

I'm not saying let the sick children die or that the Ben Stein or Bill Gates are stealing from the poor (which is obviously an absurd idea). The only people who are stealing from the poor are the politicians who claim to be their champions. Giving with one hand and stealing with the other.

It wasn't presented to me by a hot miss America finalist.

Robin Meade is a Newscaster for a CNN morning programs called "Morning express with Robin Meade".

I wish more newscasters were like her. An attractive newscaster that can present anything and make it interesting to get you to stop fantasizing about her for a split second. Still for a 39 year old woman, she looks good. Who else can say their newscaster was a top ten finalist in Miss America?

I wear glasses but, I doubt I really need them since I constantly find myself looking over them. I use them to read since it pulls the letters in a little closer. Other than that I function perfectly fine without them.

I actually liked this one. Its catchy just the leak spin one.

No, I don't pity them. They are perfectly able to function in their own way. A lawyer my family hired (Husband of my mothers friend) was involved in a car crash when he was in his late twenties. Had a lobotomy and had roughly half of his brain removed. he studied and got his license back again and was in the courtroom defending people again.

Though I am speaking of physical disabilities. Those who are mentally handicapped , I do pity since they mind can think around a physical disability (deaf,blindness,loss of a limb) but, if you brain is damaged or severely impaired you are basically S.O.L.

So you believe we should just let the government run rampant? Try to use its own corrupt systems to fight against it or just do nothing? It pisses away money on pork belly, worthless earmarks, corruption, decides who should get what and how much of it. Even though our government is to money as a open faucet is to water, people keep wanting to expand the government, raise taxes, put up more programs, tax and spend, tax and spend. That is the problem with bigger governments. All they do is take power away from the people. Just take and take until nothing is left. Once all the power of the people and their rights have been struck down then we'll be in a U.S.S.R. or Mao era Chinese communism.

Since the government has the "legal" right to poison our water and the various other things. You seem hypocritical to me for criticizing that and yet you want higher taxes, which means more programs, which means larger government interference in your daily life. If the government is allowed to do such horrible things, are able to dodge being held accountable with their waste WHY DO YOU WANT A BIGGER GOVERNMENT!?

How many more rights do we need to get rid of because "They aren't necessary". Freedom of speech? Christians can't thank their god at graduation or other public events. Internet and daily is being censored because "it offends people". How about Don Imus calling the Rutgers women's basketball team some nappy headed hoes? Who gets to set the standard? Is it you? Me? Politicians?

How about the freedom of having to quarter troops in peacetime? We should do everything to help out of troops. Not only pay taxes for their training,salaries, food, residence, and funerals but, we should also do our part to house and feed them when we aren't at war to help out the government.

How about protection again Searches and seizures and the requirement of court issued warrants. We don't need those. They only impede investigations. I mean, if you aren't doing anything illegal then you shouldn't have to worry.

The right to a fair and speedy public trial, Notice of accusations, Confronting one's accuser, Subpoenas, Right to counsel? The just allows the guilty to have a time span they need to dodge the law until they get off. It only aids the guilty and such. Those other minor details are just pure nonsense.

How about your Unenumerated rights? You don't need those.

Limiting the power of the Federal government? Nah, the government always knows whats best. Taxes those evil weathly people who abuse their employees. You know like, Bill Gates or Sergey Brin and Larry Page. Evil evil rich people.

How about those pesky 13th, 15th, 19th, 21st, 22nd, and 26th amendments?

If one right comes down. Who decides which ones stay? The Federal Government? The money of the special interest groups flowing into our politician's pockets show where their loyalties lie.

Personally, I have only had a bite of White Tilapia or whatever its called. Can't give a good judgment. All I can say is I can't find something appetizing if it lives, breeds, and breaths in the piss and shit of every other animal that has even been in the ocean but hey, I won't stop you if you want to eat it. Fish just isn't my thing.

Vegans, Vegetarians, Meat lovers, etc. To each their own. I won't bother you about your choice if you don't bother me about mine. Nobody should be forced into a lifestyle choice they are not comfortable with.

While I was in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade I saw my parents for a grand total of two hours a day, if that. My parents were out the door before I woke up for school (I got up at 6 a.m. and rode my bike to school during 3rd and 4th). They arrived home a couple hours before I went to sleep which was about 8-9 p.m. So I saw my parents between 6-8 p.m. Even then I saw my father for maybe 30 minutes. Which was enough for him to eat then he went to sleep. The only "values" they tried to instill in me was "believe in Jesus and you'll go to heaven". Outside the fact they paid for my dinner (since I skipped breakfast and lunch was free) and gave me a roof over my head. They had little involvement in my life. Even to this day I only see them for maybe a week every 3-4 months. I still live at home and during this latest stint they haven't been home in 3 months. Not a big deal since my childhood gave me a strong self reliance.



Medicare (maybe medicaid I forget which) has a 31% fraud rate. One man was able to con the system for over 100,000 individual medical claims before anyone caught on. One man currently wanted by the U.S. Marshals was able to scam Medicare for 3 million in claims. They paid 1.5 million to him before catching on. The Miami Herald found out that Medicare loses 2.5 billion in south Florida alone also Medicare reportedly loses 60 billion or more nationally every year. The American Government and politicians are far too incompetent to effectively and efficiently run such a large program. You can look it up the facts are there, every large hand out program that United States Government has is riddled with bureaucracy, inefficiency, corruption, mismanagement and fraud. Do you really expect Socialist Health care to really be any different? If you answered yes. You have no connection to reality.



I disagree, Police and fire fighters were originally volunteers and they we "adequate" for their situation. While you are correct that they wouldn't be as effective as a disciplined force, they would be able to provide enough protection for suburban areas. Urban areas are a different beast to wrestle. Arguing over this point has nothing in connection to the original argument. Fire and Police departments are controlled by state governments instead of the Federal Government. While they follow the rules and regulations of the Federal Government to keep the standards the same across the country. It does not directly control them and if the Federal Government was in charge of those departments then calling for help would take longer than waiting in line at the DMV.




I see. I guess I fall into "strict constitutionalism" but, my interpretations are broad enough to work with just about everything. I see the first ten as set in stone and can't be amended,repealed,restricted or changed and anyone who attempts to do so should be met with any and/or all forms of resistance. I just disagree with people on the "right to an education" or the "Right to free health care" since that is a slippery slope. With that logic, anyone who feels entitled to something automatically claims they have a right to it. Eventually, it would all boil down to "I have a right to drive" "I have a right to have a house" "I have a right to do whatever I want even if it infringes on the rights of others". See my point? My idea of a "right" should be something you are willing to die to protect. If you are not willing to die for it then you can't call it a "right".



I already stated I disagree with it but, its a Damned if you do and Damned if you don't scenario for America. If we try to protect a country from invasion then we're accused of killing women and children. If we oust a dictator to promote democracy and freedom we are accused of perpetrating a war for ulterior motives. If we fight a group that doesn't stand and fight (Viet Cong, Radical Islam,etc) and would rather mix in with civilians and use them and religious buildings as shields, we are the bad guys even with them killing their shields when they kill us (kids with Grenades in hand baskets, Suicide Bombers,etc). Every time America attempts to do anything we are automatically the great Satan. If the world constantly treats us as the Great Satan then why even bother sacrificing our men and women protect any other nation?

My personal stance is this: Evil exists in the world and just like the school yard bully. You need to stand up to it and defeat it. Ignoring it will only leave you vulnerable to the next strike. Trying to appease it will only encourage it. You have to stand and fight. My definition of evil is any person, country, ideal,etc that is a threat to the freedom

My thoughts exactly.

I figured a strain on your heart would occur since usually your heart rate slows down when you sleep and that would be its time to recover but, I guess not. I didn't study the human body and its functions. As long as I don't wake up dead. I'm fine.
