Nothing separates Dissent from Treasonous acts of speech when a distorted mind applies subjective broadband thinking or when a rational mind defines the parameters of Free speech in America. The rest of your "Ramblings of a twisted mind" opinion poll have a label, it escapes me at the moment....
I watched a trailer of Bill Gates presentation on CNBC this morning.... What do I need to do to make a 40" LCD display 3 different screens....
I experienced a similar lose many years back that took me awhile to overcome. Bear was my 9yr old self-trained Champion Schutzhund Rottweiler that passed as a result of a basketball size tumor in his stomach cavity. Against my wishes after 30 years of bachelorhood I took responsibility for a ten week old puppy and named him Bear. He contributed more then I could have imagined to what was thought a good life. Bear took a combat hardened
The greed of these unions, combined with our excessive regulation of the industry combined with governmental demands for more and more safety features to make up for the half-plastic pieces of shit they have to build these days in order to meet minimum mileage and air pollution standards are what's caused this industry to struggl
How did you spend yours? We spend the day after Xmas to 1/1/06 with friends at their Rancho Mirage hideaway... Played great golf every day, smoked cigars, watched football, movies and wined and dinned with friends. The wives got in some serious shopping when not playing golf, and none of us made it
You're making my point of displaced value: the millions generated could be better directed toward more useful needs in a social system. You're simply accepting things as they are, rather than setting up a system that does the most good. Entertainment and sports are hogging too much of the pie, regardless of the consumer's indiffe
you musta missed my comment #1. far as i know there is no 'key executive' union requiring delphi to pay millions in bonuses to 600 of its members for running the corporation into bankruptcy. I wish folks such as yourself had the opportunity to taste the reality of those running American industry. Th
You're not the lone ranger. I recall a few major hicups of rational in years past. To much soap in the dishwasher and washing machine... all over the floor. However, a few mr fixit friends will quickly recall my best.... Trying to unplug the kitchen sink with a bicycle cable. Can you imagine the result... I ended up getting the cable stuck in the trap then calling buddy for help, and when he laughed, then a very expensive plumber
Test results = I am a Social Conservative and an... Economic Liberal, best described as a: Centrist I exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness. Fits with many of my party members calling me a moderate conservative
most of the time Are you implying and extreme? If so, can't be all the time for "1" big simple reason.... Leadership is about making the best decisions for as many of the 280M folks in this country as possible...not just the conservative religious right faction of which I belong on the moderate side
First in whomever's defense, there are some folks here that I think really need to get a life. Some need to develop "get along in the sandbox" skills. However, that's not exclusive to JU, it's Internet wide. So, "she's" not to far off the mark. We have a 14 yr old adolescent and my wife is an LCSW at a live-in facility with over seventy troubled teens as a result of pathetic parents. Remember, kids are born innocent. It's parents that rui
But there are many domestic programs that have shown his big government tendencies, NCLB being one of those. Recent Senate Vote regarding Deficit Reduction Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 2005 - Vote Agreed to (50-50) With Vice President Cheney casting the tiebreaking vote, the Senate passed thi
Excellent assessment of how a moderate approach to conservative or liberal thinking solves issues. Take George W. Bush, for instance. He is a big government Republican, big government being the antithesis of conservative thought. I will preface I like GWB. Is he perfect no, but then again n
You wonder how they can preach every side of the equation???? They can't... choices have to be made and consequences result either way. It takes more energy to recharge your
the bigger question is would ending the practice really help stop or slow illegal immigration to this country. No.... I hope they end it and resulting duel citizenships. But by doing so we'll actually increase the illegal numbers in the US.
Not an interesting question Answer: Nothing.... Things such as this one can't be changed by me, so it doesn't get my energy, just my money. Those that complain about paying the cost of gas are spoiled period. Travel outside the US and see what the rest of the worlds been paying for years. Got to many questions... I am going to go drive my electric golf cart to the club and practice.
I could have had anything.... This year my best gifts involved touch, taste and my favorite sense - voyeurism. Contemplating my 40 something wife's 20 something child like enthusiasm bring joy to the house as she multi-tasked her way to another wonderful Christmas. Seeing my wife realize Santa didn't wait until the last minute to be creative and thoughtful. To watch her savior our adolescent son as his eyes glazed over with surprise opening each gi
Sad, but normal for that sorry insecure segment of our population. I see their presents not as troop supporters, but fraught with self promotion and a smidgen of care. I like Ted Nugent, his motives and that he has been carrying for a long time. Plus, he knows a good weapon when he see one
at the same time he is spying on Americans without the warrant he said are required and being used? Sounds to me like someone needs a mind melt. Then again, a mind melt won't help alleviate thoughts like this. Best guess it's founded in an floating arm chair where reclining minds can't see.
So the reason that 100% of the money is not spent by the wealthy is that they have more/get more than the x amount required to exsist for the time frame. That's part of being wealthy. As you make more money you find yourself spending less of your income. Which is how you build wealth. drmiller is right
Great list Steph... except for the following Won't share secrets, actually can't Good on birthdays, bad on most other days. Don't like Mr Coffee. Only drink freshly made Americano's with 2 shots of espresso and a dollop of heavy cream I love a woman's foot and ankle in fine Italian shoes, stockings o
Tax cuts to the very wealthy do not fully returned to the economy but end up in part in the accounts of the wealthy. Either you mis-stated or you're not privy to how wealthy folks save and spend.
I think it's pretty unethical to expect the government to provide for the needs of my family when I have the means to do so myself. My family = my responsibility I agree with you to the extent that idealisms, whether conservative or liberal loose applicability when applied to life. Although my immediate fa
When there are family members who live in excess, they should be the first to offer a helping hand My family was transplanted Euros that arrived back in 1920, like others. They wanted opportunities to work and care for their families which is why they came here. No sooner had they arrived the they
Gideon, you amaze me... How is it you find so much time to write great articles....humm. Now, on the question at hand. No, governments are not responsible for our welfare, a helping hand is another story. This is the land of opportunity for all regardless and I am the best example of what's possible in this country. As a child my family was on welfare with zero income. Dad was a drunk, often gone. When home mom loved to anta
