  1. "Greed is good" - Gordon Gecko (Wall Street) Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  2. It will be a close election, but my money is on McCain to be the next prez. I have mixed emotions about the man. But he is better than the current moron who holds the office and he is likely better than most of the other monkeys who want/wanted the job. But time will tell. PS: Mitt Romney appears to be a smart business person with a proven track record of leadership. Too bad for all the good business words that comes out of his mouth, an equal amount of the neo-con "fear is good" military industrial complex message also comes out. But it's clear he is a lot more intelligent than GWB ever was. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  3. Mikal my friend I hope you can find the medical help you need to get to the bottom of this problem. Stroke, brain cancer, blood pressure issues or just good weed? I don't know? But the first three are not to be joked about. I AM NOT ABOUT TO DEFEND THE US HEALTHCARE SYSTEM ... but ... I am sorry if you got the wrong impression about Canada's system. As far as I am concerned it is broken as well. Part of our problem is that most of our doctors and nurses have headed south where they can make better money practicing their professions. The other part of our problem is that we refuse to spend the money to keep our doctors and nurses here. But we are famous for promising the lemmings things we can not deliver on. Have a look at this, 3 patients die waiting for a bed in Ontaro. and here in Alberta, Canada's richest province, we are about to go to the polls to decide whether the longest serving government in the western hemisphere should be allowed to continue to govern (37 years now the Conservative Party of Alberta has ruled, 2nd only to Cuba's Castro). Yes I am one of 250,000 residents of the rich city of Calgary who can not find a primary care doctor. There is no shortage of money here in oil producing Alberta. So much so our premiere was so proud the other day to announce his new 20 year plan to build a state of the art cancer research center here in Calgary on top of the high school he plans to open in the city to help students who seek careers in medicine. But I am sorry premiere Ed Stelmach, most cancer patients don't have 20 years to wait for your empty electioneering promises. But in all this, while people are dying around us, politicians are promising 20 year plans for healthcare and 50 year plans for cleaning up the environment and we think nothing about giving our professional athletes $39 million dollars over the next six years. I am no socialist, but how fucked up is that? We can't spend $39 millions dollars over the next 20 years to help people from dying. But we are so happy to give one man the same amount of money.

  4. You are correct, but Bush did say he would veto any Bill on the subject that made it to his desk. His religious (not economic) views are behind this decision. If he was concerned about spending money, he wouldn't be the great spender that he is. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  5. Stem Cell research. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  6. Well besides being too ####ing cold 1/2 the time, Calgary is the most conservative city in Canada. Almost Texas-like what with it's oilpatch wealth. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  7. I live in Calgary. There will be no Liberals elected in Calgary. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  8. I would have liked to see Rice run against Clinton. But I guess Rice is too smart to subject herself to this. Maybe she is waiting for the next election. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  9. Boobies are good. Save the boobies!!! Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  10. No ... However it appears that the Christian religion is plagiarised from ancient Egyptian religions which were nothing more than misinterpretations of how the ancient world observed the stars. Haha ... too funny and to think Christians take their flying spaghetti monster as the truth. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  11. I have similar problems in Canada. I currently view the "Conservative Party of Canada" as the lesser of all evils. But even they do things that make me shake my head. I am seriously considering spoiling my ballot next time around (which could be this Spring, Summer or Fall). I know it is pretty much a wasted vote. Too bad "Libertarian" has never really caught on in either country. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  12. I don't want Clinton to win (you think I want the USA to be lead by 2 families for 24-28 years). But that doesn't mean that I will whine and complain if she does win. If enough people vote for [insert candidate name here] and the books were not cooked, then that is democracy in action. If a huge demographic of the population wants to change the status quo of how things work in Washington, then their right to democracy must be respected. If people don't like the candidates, it is not too late change it. Get out in force and vote in the remaining primaries, or lobby for [so and so] to run as an independent. But don't sit back and whine that there are no options. There has been plenty of choice this time around. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  13. Obama aside, who is predominately supporting Clinton? Women ... 1/2 the population is female. Maybe it is you who is out of touch with the feelings of your wives, girlfriends, mothers, grandmothers, cousins and sisters. Has it ever occurred to you that women are standing up and thinking the conservative model of Reagan/Bush style of leadership is not the country they want to be a part of. Or does their vote not count? You are witnessing democracy in action cup-cake. Deal with it. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  14. Clinton and Obama each got more votes than all of the GOP candidates combined. What does that tell you? That more people supporting Clinton and Obama (pretty much double across the board) got off their fat asses and got out and voted to make a difference. If your favorite GOP candidate did not get the votes you wanted them to get, then you can only blame the people who fall into the demographic who would vote for these candidates since they never bothered to get out and vote. or ... maybe you should come to the realization that enough people in America are waking up and realizing that the ultra right wing evangelical neo-con politics we've seen in the last 8 years has done severe damage to the USA and it is time to change. But stop whining that so and so conservative candidate did not get the support you wanted them to get. It's called democracy. People voted the way they wanted to vote. There was plenty of choices to make. PS: I am fiscally conservative. But I draw the line at being a conservative when evangelicals tell me that I have to follow their religion and their morals.

  15. Be officially dubbed Knight Commander of The Tinfoil Hat Brigade? Woosh!!! right out of right field with that one. I didn't say Paul was the best candidate. I am just saying I would have liked to see him compete on a level playing field. But the GOP and the media wrote him off from the get go. Maybe his Tinfoil hat got in the way of the neo-cons mission. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  16. But I ordered a Tuna Sandwich with a pickle on the side. Too bad the GOP and media wrote Ron Paul off from the get go. I would have like to see what he could have done if the playing fields were more level. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  17. You people are obsessing about Part II of this movie. I don't know what happened on 9/11 and I likely never will know. But it wasn't Part II that stood out to me. I found it rather funny that Christianity is nothing more than a plagiarised religion which stole much of it's message from the ancient Egytian religions which were nothing more than how the ancient world interpreted the stars. It's amazing that all those virgin mothers gave birth throughout history to all these Gods. But hey if Christians want to continue to worship their flying spaghetti monster, go ahead. Just spare me the rhetoric of how I will rot in the Christian hell because I don't believe in Hey'Zuess. The middle class shrinks while the ultra-rich get richer. The margin calls of 1929 and sub-prime mortgages of today are rather similar. I hope you people saved some money instead of spending it all. But War is good right. How many Bush supporters know that the Bush family fortune was made helping to build Nazi Germany? Personal freedoms have eroded thanks to the Patriot Act and many Americans continue to ignore this. Don't worry, the Amero is on it's way. There is a reason why illegal immigration is ignored. Soon we will all be one. We will all be carrying our North American Union ID cards with all our banking, medical and personal info imbedded in them. Think it can't happen? It's already started. THX1138 Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  18. How's civil liberties in the USA these day? Do you think people are safer now thanks to the Patriot Act? I hope people managed to save some money and not spend it all. The US economy is in the shitters, their government is in debt beyond belief, they are in wars with no end in sight (and the powers in charge do not want these wars to end), they consume more than they make and their health and educational system is in shambles. But what are Amercians concerned about? Who will win the next American Idol and how is Britney's mental health? ROFLMAO ... nice. Sorry dude, read between the lines. This movie is more than just Christianity, 911 and the Federal Reserve. It's about you losing your individual freedoms. You know those freedoms America was built on? THX1138 ... Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  19. I couldn't give a shit about the cause of 911 anymore. What happen has happened. Much of the world is at war right now and the neo-cons are running around telling people they must be afraid and that only they can protect people. I am sorry the neo-cons are the reason so many people have died since 1/2 of America bought into this neo-con war wongering propaganda. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  20. War is very profitable for the Industrial Military Complex of the USA. A few thousand lives isn't much when money is to be made. Keep the masses scared and keep them ignorant. I wonder how many Bush supporters knew that the Bush family profited finacially from of the rise of Nazi Germany before they so blindly decided that George Walker Bush could save them from that evil Osama Bin Laden guy? Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  21. Yes some fire brought this building down. Sure ... and you believe your government? ROFLMAO ... how naive. I guess religion will always trump science in the USA. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  22. I would love to know why WTC Building #7 (which was not hit by an airplane) fell. If someone could come up with a plausable reason for why this building collapsed, then I will get back to believing in the son of the flying spaghetti monster. Until then, history has a way of repeating itself. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  23. The bottom line is that open minded people who are concerned about the direction the western powers (ie: predominately the USA) have taken in the last 100+ years will watch the movie. The close minded people have made up their minds a long time ago. This is more than just a movie on Christianity, 911 and the Federal Reserve. But one must know a little about history to be able to read between the lines. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  24. Or would that be Islam, with Christianity not too far behind. As far as I am concerned they both mixed up and both exist to control people. The only difference is that Islam follows "The Holy Ka'boom" while Christianity follows "The Burble's New Testicle". Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  25. Keep believing in some mythical God people. But know that Christianity is nothing more than a plagiarised religion with it roots from how the ancient world observed the stars. Dec 25th my ass!!! It's nothing more that the 3rd day after the winter solstice. The 3 kings? They are the stars in Orions Belt which is the dominate constellation in the northern hemisphere on Dec 25th. Jesus rose from the dead on the 3rd day? ROFLMAO, it is nothing more that the 3rd day after the spring solstice when the ancients observed plant life would be rejuvenated for another year. Jesus the son of God? Haha ... you mean the Sun in our solar system which gives us life on this planet. Open your minds people, Chrisitianity is not the answer, it is a farce and the neo-cons are the biggest threat to independent thought in this world. But I forgot the "Patriot Act" is good for America right? Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
