UH... see right there next to the Post Reply button.... it says Check Spelling. That might reflect better on your intellect if you used it once in a while

CAUSE IT LOCKS UP MY COMPUTER EVERYTIME I TRY AND USE IT. AND ON THIS COMPUTER I DO NOT EVEN HAVE WORD TO USE. SWEET ASSUMPTIONS YOU MADE HUH? NOW, SHALL WE NOW DISCUSS REFLECTIONS OF YOUR INTELLECT?

I've known you for a while on here, and usually you're above such comments.

Issues of race often bring out people's true colors it seems. I could care less who likes who - vote for your choice, but to hide behind veiled racist remarks shows true character.

I've lived through some pretty crazy racism (I grew up in apartheid), and let me tell you that the 'reasons' I hear here, and in that clip, aren't the first times I've heard them. I heard so many people saying that Nelson Mandela was going to 'hate the white man' and 'kick all the whites out' and 'next bullshit thing here'. All false and all born of fear.

And yes, there's plenty of proof that people were starving and dying. They're called "photos".

*throws bullshit flag*

If so, you should have NO problem showing the news reports of the "dead and starving" having been left to die in the Astrodome with no care.

OK. Then don't complain when others make comments like that about you.

>Sheeple comments and that kind of bs tend to come from the left.

If you think such comments are unique to the left - then you really don't listen to more than one or two sources.

Lets see, I used the word "tend". You on the other hand seemed to indicated that I used the word ""unique".

You are the one that said (realated to the Mrs Obama tape) that one word constitutes a lie "to make look bad".

Same apply here?

I am not sure what is up with the one machine I use. When I try and fire up spell check the window shows "aboutblank" up in the corner the then I have to do an end program and IE shuts down and I loose my typing. OS is Windows XP

What we're dealing with here in this thread is more bigotry than racism. If someone doesn't vote for Obama because he's black, that's bigotry. If someone says they'll vote for him because it's time we had a black president - that's bigotry, because it means they're not voting for the other two because they're not black. No better, and certainly an unwise way to make the decision in these critical times. Foreign policy, economic policy, ethical standards, statesmanship. That's what we should focus on. Unfortunately, bigots abound, on both sides of the race coin. I personally wish Herman Cain would run for president. He'd beat the living snot out of these three clowns.

The forecast is mostly sunny with occasional beer.

We agree on the prinicipal of your response (well, up until Herman Cain - I don't know who they are

Here are some links where he speaks his own Marxist / hypocritical words. These reasons, and others, are why I don't want him to be president.

"Marxist"? "Hypocritical"? I think that you posted the wrong links if that's the point you're trying to make.
He said that the decision to fire Don Imus should be left to the networks. That he doesn't like Imus' style of entertainment and would not be working for him.
What's wrong with that?

And then I guess you disagree with him on capital gains. That's fine and a topic worthy of discussion. So does that mean that you think that the very richest Americans should pay less in taxes than their workers? You think that paying as you go is a bad idea and that mortgaging our country to China is a good idea? I'll just have to disagree with you then.

Personally I think the debate needs to be extended beyond the capital gains tax alone and more to the tax code in general and I'd like to think Obama has similar thoughts. He seems to be focusing on accountability and fiscal responsibility. However in neither of those links did I see anything "marxist" or even remotely "hypocritical".

Ok, you're right. I misspoke by lumping the hurricane victims hardships together. I don't know of anyone who was starving or dying in Texas at the site where she made her comment. The starving/dying people I was thinking about were the ones left in New Orleans, before the surviving ones were taken to Texas. So I suppose you're right, her elitist comments should qualified to note that she wasn't looking at a dead person at the time, only their displaced relatives. That must be why she was able to raise such a compassionate conservative for a son.

Here, to make up for it I'll give you another one of her greatest hits. From a "Good Morning America" in 2003.

"Why should we hear about body bags, and deaths, and how many, what day it's gonna happen, and how many this or what do you suppose? Or, I mean, it's, it's not relevant. So, why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"

Marxist is a strong word, but I still use it. Socialist is definitely an accurate word. If it is proven (and it is) that revenue decreases when CG rate is raised, and the only reason he would raise it is to "punish" someone for knowing how to make money - that is a Marxist position in my mind, and definitely not a principal our country was founded on. Most likely though - he won't raise capital gains - he was only pandering to an increasingly large block of voters who suffer from wealth envy.

Re Imus, he said "he wouldn't be working for me." Well, at that time, his wonderful reverand was.

I won't convince you, you certainly won't convince me. I am a man without a candidate. I don't trust Mr. O and I abhor his politics. But - this discussion is better than one centered on his skin.

Herman Cain is a conservative who has authored several books, is a wonderful speaker, and has served as CEO of some large companies, and even headed up one of the Federal Reserve Banks. He's a man of great intellect and courage. He also has black skin.

Is is "socialist" if you take the tax money from the middle class and funnel it upward to the wealthiest of the wealthy? That's certainly not the principal that our country was founded upon but it's what we have now.

There is also a thread about this in the "Error and Bug Reports" forum. You might want to post in there that you are having the same problem. Personally, I'm not going to switch browsers just because of an error on one website.

How is this being done? Is Oprah or Bill Gates getting a welfare check that I don't know about?

A search of Version Tracker revealed TinySpell and FreeSpell as freeware options among many shareware (usually very low cost) and commercial options.

I'm pretty sure Firefox has either integrated spellcheck or a plug-in available. Apple's Safari for Windows includes spelling and grammar check. Both browsers are free downloads.

Just to list a few:
Tax increment financing for big box store construction.
Taxpayer and eminent domain financed sport stadiums.
Taxpayer subsidized interest free loans to developers.
The Farm Bill.
Mandated minimum prices for commodities like sugar.
Oil subsidies.
Pharmaceutical subsidies and the medicare drug bill.

That crock, again?

2005 numbers (% share of total tax burden):

Top 1%: 39.38%
Top 2-5%: 20.29% ( 59.67% cumulative total)
Top 6-10%: 10.63% (70.3% cumulative total)
Top 11-25%: 15.69% (85.99% cumulative total)
Top 26-50%: 10.94% (96.93% cumulative total)

So, you have the top 50% of all filers paying 97% of all the taxes....while the Bush tax cuts have removed an additional 10-12 million filers from the tax rolls (roughly half of the country does not have any tax liability).

QED...you have 25% of the population paying the way for the other 75%.


Damn those non-paying rich people...

Which they accomplish by paying at a much much lower rate than those taxpayers who make much less. Percentage of the pot is not the issue. Also, where did they make the money? In some cases, off of the taxpayer.

What operating system are you referring to that does have it? Ispell has been around 20 years, but it's not integrated. I'd view it as bloat, in any event. Outlook's spellcheck is so useless for my work that I cancel it just about every single time.

Firefox's approach is a better one - I think it's a good choice to use.
