    % is what counts, total numbers depend on availability of placements and total population the USA has over 10 times Oz's population, which stands to reason it has 10 times more idiots too Based on a set %age of western cutlture being idiots Don't sell yourself short. There's plenty of idiots down under. never pull low......unless you are

    Implying you "deserve" to have priviliges because the US is sharing its wealth, when the fact is that the US is contributing the least in aid to other countries in the OECD in terms of % of GDP. So nothing to be proud of. You seem to be the one who can't read. I said that we deserved our wealth because we work hard to earn it. I would appreciate it if you didn't twist my words to suit your agenda. never pull low......unless you are

    Again you and your friend Juan can not get single fact right. Please stop demonstrating your total lack of knowledge about the World. Australia is actually well known for its higher education system and has one of the highest % of fee paying students from overseas in the world: Newspaper article 20 August: "ITERNATIONAL fee-paying students at Australian universities now make up more than 20 per cent of total enrolments as numbers continue to soar despite overseas events." You 're talking percentages, what about total numbers? never pull low......unless you are

    No the argument is that you are making statements that have no basis in reality. It was you that made the statement the US was "sharing" its wealth, when the reality is that it is the OECD country that "shares" the least... This was not about aid, this was about writing things that do not hold up in the cold light of facts.. Make up your mind. I say we share our wealth and you say it's not true. Then you contradict yourself and say we give the least. Which is it? never pull low......unless you are

    The US is one of the "rich" (OECD) countries that gives the least in aid to developing countries as in % of GDP...... So the argument isn't that we give our money away, it's that we don't give enough? Nobody wants us to be the worlds policeman, but they expect us to play Santa Claus. never pull low......unless you are

    Hmmm - belief in entitlement - you must really be a liberal. Now you're calling me names? I don't think that expecting to be rewarded for hard work makes me a liberal. I thought that it made me a capitalist. never pull low......unless you are

    But it seems that believing in letting people live thier lives as they see fit is far too liberal for far too many people here. Jeanne I'd like that also. I'd like to get on an airplane without fear that it will be hijacked and flown into a building. I'll bet a few thousand people that died on 9/11 would have liked to live out their lives. But I guess if they just understood the terrorists that would never have happened. never pull low......unless you are

    But hey, we're the US; we're the richest country in the world, we have cheap gas, and that's because we deserve it. Right? All in jest, of course.[:-|] Wendy W. Yes we do deserve it. Americans work hard for what they have. We also share our wealth with other countries around the world. If we are so evil why do the other countries accept our money and help? I do not feel guilt for being American. I feel lucky. never pull low......unless you are

    I don't always pick on Clinton. Sometimes I pick on Ted Kennedy. Well, just to show I'm impartial, Kennedy and Johnson also lied to Congress. In fact, it's hard to find a recent president that didn't ... maybe Carter? I'll agree to that. I'd count the silverware after having dinner with any politician. I don't think you (or I) could be called impartial though. never pull low......unless you are

    tell that to the unemployed, like these skydivers: www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=709409#709409 Deficit is up too, and the national debt is at record levels. Employment is a lagging indicator. While I feel bad for the recently unemployed jumpers, it doesn't say anything about the economy in general. I was laid off in a good economy (1991) due to a downturn in the business I was in. never pull low......unless you are

    Just wondering why you always pick on Clinton, when Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan and Bush 1 all lied to Congress over far more substantive issues than a blow job. Oh yes, Clinton was a Democrat. I don't always pick on Clinton. Sometimes I pick on Ted Kennedy. never pull low......unless you are

    You must be too young to remember Iran, 1953. . You got me there.

    I think that Bill Clinton has the lying to congress thing covered. You must be too young to remember Watergate and Iran-Contra. Wrong I remember them well. Why do the liberals always use the two wrongs make a right argument. Regardless of the mistakes that the conservatives have made in the past, it does not give others the right to do as they please. Clinton lied to Congress and it wasn't Richard Nixon's fault. never pull low......unless you are

    IMHO, there are times for male dominance. It is rare, but they include: ~Bringing in all the groceries from the car. ~Cleaning the litter box. ~Packing my parachute, carrying my gear to the car. ~Opening my soda can after I got a manicure. ~Occasionally in bed...sometimes it's fun to be "ravished". Other than that, there is no room for "dominance". And if a man (or woman) for that matter dares raise a hand to me for any reason, they shall reap more than what they have sown...I never hit first, but I always hit back. Ciels- Michele You did a good job of pointing out men's jobs. How about a list for the women. I'll start it: Dishes, laundry...... never pull low......unless you are

    As long as we choose not to understand people who claim to be our foes, they will remain our foes. They might remain our foes if we do understand them, but it's a dead certainty if we don't. Once we give someone the respect to try to understand them, it's much easier not to group them all together and assume "they" are all alike. Wendy W. When I say "them" I'm not refering to muslims. I'm refering to the cowardly terrorists that kill innocent people in an effort to further their goals. They don't have to like us or our culture, but they need to learn to respect the rights of others. If it takes a war to get that point across so be it. never pull low......unless you are

    And for the general... it's meatheads like this that made me want to leave the Army... Too many people with agendas, not enough soldier's soliders... unfortunately too many of the DoD policy makers today are idiots. J Josh I won't disagree with your comment on the general. It is ironic that he spent his life fighting for our rights (including free speech) and is attacked by the liberals when he tries to exercise his rights. Agree with his views or not, he has the same rights that we do. never pull low......unless you are
