Of course you'd want the lower half black.

Fix'd.

I still feel the need to try. I mean, have you seen the personal history of some senators? Two of them were accused of rape and they kept getting re-elected.

Edit: God! I wanted to take a shot at Barry-O. Fucking A!

Fix'd.

So which base you going to be stationed at in Ga Audio?

* Fort Benning
Columbus, Georgia
* Fort Gillem
Forest Park, Georgia
* Fort Gordon
Richmond, Jefferson, McDuffie, Columbia County, Georgia
* Fort McPherson
East Point, Georgia
* Fort Stewart
Liberty County, Georgia
* Hunter Army Airfield
Savannah, Georgia

Any of these sound familiar?

Hello, I'm FPoD and Yes, Nashrakh is correct. I do have serious intentions in running for some level of office from city mayor to member of congress.

Ziggy and I have one of those Brita pitchers. I find it rather annoying how often I have to change the filter.

The water tastes pretty good though.

I assume it's about the British Elections. Only major election that I'm aware of. Caught a bit of their last debate a while back. Oh and the controversy over Gordon Brown's comment towards an old "labor party" supporter. Called her a "bigoted woman" or something.

I didn't because I'm forbidden to vote in your countries elections.

I've heard a little bit about the three parties involved but, I know nothing of their platforms and what they are pushing for.

Oi! WTF mate! You got ziggy and you left me off!

I'm so unloved... (T_T)

Not so rare anymore.

Don't you love how we can accept all types?

He does have a point. Where I used to live during middle school. The water of that city was slightly less flammable than napalm.

Also that is when you need to start something, a organization or a petition, something to get your water treated. If a place has good water treatment (and companies NOT dumping shit in the water supply) the water is pretty tasty. Bartow Country Ga had some nice water even though lake Allatoona is pretty terrible to swim in. Makes your skin and hair feel greasy and generally nasty but, damn! it tasted good out of the tap. Just don't swim in it or get any in your mouth...or eat anything of the fish out of it. Just, avoid it at all costs.

If somebody wanted to call Americans a bunch of dumb fucks. THIS is a legit reason that nobody can dodge with excuses.

Also, anybody notice the irony that hipsters or yuppies (traditionally environmentalist supporters) are the ones who drink the most bottled water?

I remember about two years ago there was this little fuck-wit drinking a bottle of water that cost about 5 bucks a bottle. His reasoning "They (government) put fluoride in the drinking water. In the rest of the world they ban the use of any water that contains fluoride."

Annoyed me that he was talking about something he didn't have basic knowledge of to begin with. Couldn't tell me the difference between fluorine or fluoride and didn't even know the basics of water fluoridation or the benefits.

United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542 (1876) is the supreme court case that state that you must be informed of the exact nature and cause of the accusation against you.

The no fly list is basically being charged for a crime or suspected crime without being informed that you have been charged.

Edit: ACLU's case against the TSA was ruled in their favor which made the no fly list public for the first time.

I think the list itself is useless and doesn't really help anybody. Just toss the damn thing out.

I'm not sold on removing it entirely but, I'm certainly in favor of loosening the restriction.

Im fine allowing people to talk about legalization, how it effects their personal lives or how drugs effect society, the chemical compounds, research on the effects of drugs on the human body (both positive and negative). Personal opinions or morals on the drugs. What I'm not fine with is opening the rule so much that people can talk about where to buy, what to look for when buying, what to buy, people showing off their stash or their bongs/pipes, etc.

The no fly list by itself has been challenged by the ACLU though I can't remember the outcome off the top of my head but, I suspect that they lost.



Beyond being "un-American", the list doesn’t actually help catch terrorists. Why? Because

[quote]Any watch list where it’s easy to put names on and difficult to take names off will quickly fill with false positives. These false positives eventually overwhelm any real information on the list, and soon the list does no more than flag innocents - which is what we see happening today, and why the list hasn’t resulted in any arrests.[quote]

Here is how effective the list really is in stopping terrorism.

Forgive me citing the same guy twice but, the man knows a lot on the subject. If further evidence is needed I, Gibs or Flaser will be glad to provide.

List of rights being violated by the No-fly No-buy legislation.

The second, the Fifth, and the sixth. I'm not sure about the fourth being broken as I am not seeing any search of seizure. I guess the privacy aspect is being broken which depends on how the go about gathering their data. The fourth amendment is in a murky area of the law as "being secure in your person and papers" is interpreted as a right to privacy while others interpret the amendment as requirement for law enforcement to get a warrant to search.

I'm sure the others are not as offended as you by the idea that I desire a second opinion from the owner to clarify the rules. If Jacob says something is Kosher then I drop the subject and go on about my business. If Jacob says something is against the rules and reports go ignored. I contact Jacob.

Simple as that, nothing personal.

Won't happen.



It's a private organization. No tax dollars go in or out of the foundation.

@Flaser

The "various conservatives" are on the wrong side of the "rational" line. They are more accuratly next to the counter culture group. Anybody who listens to even five minutes of American talk radio would agree. Neocons fall into where "various conservatives" should be.

Neocons worship the state while traditional conservatives (paleocons) believe the state to be inherently evil.

Other than that nitpicking it's spot on for American politics.

Edit:



We're close to agreement. Like you I believe it is the states responsibility to make sure we have equal opportunity in the workplace and equal protection under the law. I differ from liberals on "equality" since I don't want everybody to have an equal amount of material wealth. I just want people to have the opportunity and are not unfairly shut out due to religion, sex, age,etc. The fruits of our labor can be unequal (based on work ethics and similar factors) as long as everybody has the equal opportunity to get into the fray to begin with.

If a woman does 100% equal work in quality and time as a man she should receive 100% equality in pay but, if she's taking more days off or doesn't produce as much she shouldn't receive equal pay because it's not equal work.

We just disagree on how much regulation is needed.

Christian conservatives think that if you aren't capable of handling the responsibility of children you shouldn't be having sex in the first place. Since babies are the result of sex. It's kind of the reason we have it in the first place, biologically speaking of course.

Anyways, I'd pay some extra taxes to help those thrown into the adoption mess (state taxes, not federal). The feds are too removed from the situation to manage it effectively.

For the Neocons and most conservatives in general. They protect the unborn because it committed not crime and has done nothing to deserve death. While the living have committed a crime (speaking about the death penalty). Unless one wants to claim that conception is the crime but, those are usually left/right party extremists.

Graphology is considered a pesudoscience at the moment. It's like your horoscope, fun to think about.

I'm exactly the same way with my writing.

All that time spent practicing and I still can't make a cursive C that doesn't look like a fucking E. (T_T)

What your handwriting says about you.
