It's the military industrial complex. Buy stock NOW!
Wow! That's a lot of bread, milk and baby food buddy. I hope there was a good reason for all that government waste. :eek:
Yes, that's it in a nutshell. This excerpt from, Nemesis, page 210 - by Chalmers Johnson, highlights the last years...
It might be all this came about because of Senator Larry Craig that was caught in the public bathroom.
After thinking about this carefully, I've decided to use my bathroom at home. More privacy and it's cleaner :jester:
France and French Caribbean have all topless beaches. Nude is usually posted. I would imagine the same in Tahiti and the rest of French Polynesia.
Open a Heineken and smile a lot I think is best. :)
In this thread you can see some topless at the beach. But the sign says topless women...
Most people want to be on the coasts, not the interior.
There was a study I read about this a few years ago, Japan, and I think Europe are not replenishing their populations, while China has had controls in for some time. In India there is a serious lack of female ******** and there is...
You may be right about that, but I think this economic fiasco with the deficit as it is could spell the end. I went on in detail I won't repeat in the economy thread. This could be a depression.
Ah hahaha! I guess they think it a genius film because it deals with a primal fear.
In a primitive tribe I read about in my Anthropology class, women are in control because during sex, the men regard themselves as entrusting them with their penises, in recognition of a castration fear. So a...
I agree, but the problem is you can't see them coming if they're on the back of the truck.
Yep, dumbass. Someone in my neighborhood has them, and when I see them I want to kick them, then I realize it's the owner's b*lls I want to kick.
That kind of thing happens here all the time, so now those, .01 cent increase in sales tax to pay for such and such usually fail because the money never goes where they say but they make sure they get their raises.
They built a beautiful new office for government that was more of an...
That what I mean. Same with the truck nuts. When you cross the line and infringe on someone else rights practicing "your rights", you know somethings wrong with the laws.
I never liked them. I thought it was an attempt to put a classic name on a crappy car. My friends ****** had one and took it on a trip to Maryland from NY. Wouldn't you know it! The car overheated and had to be towed off the highway, but fortunately was brand new and under warranty. The tow...
A poll on the news maybe was worded badly. It asked would you pay higher gas taxes if road safety was improved. I think people distrust an increase in tax in any form and consider any increase unfair, and the response was NO, 84%
I believe there is a speech scheduled for tomorrow. I've been saying for months this is comparable to Ken Lay's speech at the final Enron shareholder's meeting.
CHICAGO — President Bush, in a marked shift from his usual upbeat economic assessments, conceded here on Monday that the nation faces...
I think they should be ****** and tickets issued. To have someone's **** ask, "What's that?", infringes on everyone else rights because of someone's bad taste.
Funny, but I thought it was announced that people just weren't getting it that the economy is really strong, or so we were told time and time again? If I remember there were some threads about how bad it was doing.
I think I also heard reporter Betsy Stark say on World News that Arab nations...
I think it invades the privacy of others, and can't you be arrested for going into the bathroom of the other sex? Crazy. I think there are also a lot more lousy places that are better.
Maybe they are looking for Crawford to get advice on how to expand temporary, (a.k.a. permanent), bases in the Middle East for "their own good", now that they have offended the German government and will possibly be ****** to reduce their presence there for stated reasons of economics. Hmmm...
Watch the video from Frontline I posted above. This was rampant in the Boston Archdiocese with the full knowledge of high church officials. Many of the guilty were just transfered as the church looked away.
-In December 2006 the Archdiocese of Los Angeles (Roger Cardinal Mahony) agreed to a...
There's a problem with that list at the moment, it seems to be getting an edit. Thriller is listed here with 104m

No accounting for taste. :dunno:
That's what I understood with Social Security. As an investment of the surplus there would not have been a problem funding retirement for taxpayers, but because it was squandered away, it's future is seriously in doubt. Another reason to raise taxes in the future on top of all the other...
You asked so I'll try to answer that. :)
On the matter of deficits, Reagan nearly tripled the gap between the amount of money the federal government took in and the amount it spent. He did this by cutting tax rates by an average 25 percent, while aggressively increasing defense spending.
In...
Spoon feeding a room of journalists came out of Gulf War I, and as we know, a lot of those images of smart bombs being so surgically exacting of the targets were taken out of the pictures of "collateral damage", in numerous cases hitting non military targets with hundreds of deaths.
Embedding...
This was an issue in my grammar school with a friend of mine who suddenly realized as he was growing up that he had been touched inappropriately by a teacher he trusted. Reaching puberty, he spent a good 10 years terrorizing the guy, vandalizing and harassing him I suppose to strengthen his own...

Re: People are the problem, not politicians ...
Little of that has to do with me or my posts. If I was talking about CO2 emissions, Ken Starr or the idiosyncrasies of electrical engineers, I'd let you know.
I do think people have to be more aware of the world around them, whether that be...
Re: People are the problem, not politicians ...
I'm a bit puzzled why you chose such a tiny detail to comment on, but will bask in the glow I have that suggests you might agree with the other 99% of what I've said that appears to be okay. :dunno:
This conversation is as though you're a...
Congress likely to OK Saudi arms deal
Congress likely to OK Saudi arms deal
WASHINGTON - The Democratic-led Congress is unlikely to block U.S. plans to sell $123 million worth of sophisticated precision-guided bomb technology to Saudi Arabia, despite concerns from some members that the...
I agree with him completely. One of my pet peeves is the destruction of the natural environment to create more strip malls making the Everglades and Grand Canyon homogenous in their ugliness and count of WalMarts, McDonalds and "fine dining" at Red Lobster. It's the stagnation of quality in...
This looks good, I just recommended it to someone but haven't read it yet;
