As for bush, i was always under the assumption he directly made these decisions. I knew congress had a say, but i thought it was his decision, then they approved it. For my own personal reasons, i will never, ever like president bush, just from the times ive seen him on tv i see something in the way he talks, looks, and it makes me uneasy, but its just my opinion. As for the doctor, im going to try to get the willpower to go in there, i have a lot of days off work next week so it should be good

Try to understand that everything in the world is exactly as it should be, and that every conflict has a resolution. It's always been that way, and that's the way it will always be; that's just the way of the world. I'll say again that you don't have to like it, but if you refuse to accept it, you'll make your life far more difficult than necessary. If you truly want to change things, start with what you can change; start with something small. I suggest you begin by making an appointment with yo... [ More ]

You should be more concerned about the lies which spill from the mouths of your congressmen. They have the power to vote themselves pay raises whenever the mood strikes them; your president enjoys no such luxury. Mr. Bush has no authority to declare war; only congress can do that. Article I, section 8 of the U S Constitution states, "The Congress shall be vested with the power to declare war, and to raise and support military forces," which means that they are also responsible for deciding how...

Never feel that you have to apologize for being young; everybody is eighteen once. You are entitled to your opinions and have every right to express them freely. That's why Todd gave us the space for these blogs. And that's why we go to war. 

Don't you see? Your friend is absolutely right; she is no longer a person, and she won't be one again until the day she receives her discharge. In order for her to perform efficiently as a soldier, it's necessary that she leave her identity behind. She... [ More ]

Like I've told you before, the only innocent people that are dying are the poor iraqi citizens who are being bombed by the terrorists that have come into the country. The USA is trying to protect these people. 

 

So Jason, you have two Lottery Post homework assignments: 

 

1) List 1 or 2 "facts" from the Michael Moore movie, and, 

 

2) Give me an example of what innocent people are dying as a result of the war. (And you can't say that when a suicide bomber kills... [ More ]

Everywhere ive read on the internet, even in movie reviews that were 'against' the film, they did say it was true stuff, just we have already heard it all. Todd, there are alot of facts we can toss around, but the one thing we all know, is that innocent people are dying everyday, due to this war.

The problem, plain and simple, is that you are listening to extreme leftists, and they are your sole source of information. The Michael Moore thing is an EXCELLENT guage to understand this. His film was so ultra-extreme left-wing propoganda that even Democrats distance themselves from it. If the people you talk to thought that Michael Moore was presenting facts, that these are not the type of people you want to be listening to. Michael Moore's entire movie was filled with total fabrica... [ More ]

That was MAGNIFICENT. It's a rare thing to see something in print that takes all my thoughts on a subject and somehow distills them down into their essence. Perfect, perfect, PERFECT. 

 

Justin, I am telling you, as someone who's been on this earth a bit longer than you, as much as you will be instantly turned off to what Jim wrote, try, try, try to listen to this wisdom. These are wise words.

Justin, you are correct. Saddam's power was diminished while he was hiding from superior forces, but you are jumping to major conclusions in assuming that he would stay there indefinitely. This man, and his followers, are animals. They have no regard for human life and, in my opinion, deserve to die in the most horrible and painful manner that can be devised. Spend a few months there, as I did in 1991, and then come back with your heart on your sleeve. The only reason this war isn't over by now is that the allies insist on following conventional rules of engagement and the Geneva Doctrines, both of which are a joke to these vermin. Personally, I think we should fight fire with fire, but to do so would signal the end of the civilized world. If you believe Osama Bin Laden is such easy prey, why not find him yourself and collect the bounty? The 10th Mountain Division is comprised of some of the toughest, most dedicated and methodical military personnel this nation has ever produced, and they WILL find this insect. Be patient. As for your comments concerning gay marriages, I think it's sad that gay people feel they need societal recognition for what they do in their bedrooms. To base one's entire lifestyle on the same premise is, in my opinion, petty, self-serving and stupid, since it contributes nothing to society in general and has no benefits other than a seven-second orgasm. So what is there to recognize? I'm NOT anti-gay; I'm just saying that I don't care who someone has sex with, provided she's not having it with my wife or daughter. Gay people have their own community and subculture which actively excludes heterosexuals as somehow inferior beings who just don't "get it," and yet they strive to be accepted into mainstream society. They can't have it both ways (no pun intended); if they want to be a part of mainstream USA, then they'll have to accept American traditions and values, and leave their sexual preferences in their bedrooms. I can think of no time in history when ANY special-interest group has been able to force a paradigm shift with no benefit to the societal majority, and I see no indication of any historical precedent being set here. You don't have to like it, nor agree with it, but if you're going carry on with your criticisms, at least offer up some informed, intelligent and viable solutions. If you think you can do a better job, run for president. If you make it, I hope I'm there to see the look on your face after you've had a chance to weigh your new presidential powers against those of the average congressman or senator. Don't take this the wrong way; you have some interesting, though ill-informed, views on current events, and I enjoy reading them. Many people can't bother themselves with the world's problems, and it's refreshing to find someone who takes an interest. Terrible stories might be just that: stories. Take some time to verify what you hear, and double-check what you see. Don't put your faith in the press; at best, they'll only give you part of the story. Find your own answers to the questions you have. Talk to people, make phone calls, write letters and emails. An opinion based on conjecture and rumor is subject to correction and ridicule. An opinion based on irrefutable facts commands respect, promotes education and provokes its readers to reconsider their own views.... [ More ]

Four4me, i have heard some terrible stories, and if they are true (what do we really know) then he deserved what he got, i am NOT defending saddam, but only the INNOCENT iraqis, and why have we not killed Bin Laden yet. We stopped trying along time ago, he could walk by the white house and bush would be more interested in gay marriage, i know i post about that topic alot, trust me i am not gay, but i cant stand the fact that we have hate crimes for people who do things to gay people (PROVES THAT...

Hiding in a hole or not he was one of the most sickest, sadistic evil sob's living today. He would think nothing of beating, raping and torturing you and or any member in your family. And after he was done doing that he might even take pleasure in posting your body in front of a central landmark for everybody to look at. This weirdo killed his own people for the fun of it.
