  1. This secrecy shit has to stop>http://home.hamptonroads.com/stories/story.cfm?story=108646&ran=180358&tref=po I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  2. Just read this> "However, the strikes early Friday hit the affluent Christian locality of Jounieh, north of the capital, for the first time. The bombing against the picturesque coastal resort marked a sharp expansion of Israel's attack on Lebanon, which now threatens Christian areas where Hezbollah has no support and no presence." WTF? I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  3. Agreed on the excessive spending. But bringing banks and Wall St. in as a way to "save" SS is about the stupidest big government idea I've seen in a long time, unless of course your work for the banks or Wall st. The way to start working on the SS problem is to quit raiding it every year to make the deficit look smaller. Everyone keeps saying "a record number of people will be tapping the fund" but what they deliberately fail to mention is that that means that a record number of people are currently paying IN to the program. The fact that we let our government get away with this crap either means that people have been dumbed down to the point that we just don't care any more or that the people don't realize that their representatives are not actually representing them. Actually I think it's both. Who's got the pitchforks and torches?!?!?!?! There is no better way to fund peoples retire,emt than to bring Wall Street into it. Where do you think current pension money is invested? Afraid of accepting much risk in the Market? Just put your money into an index fund. Very little risk and assurances of a much better rate of return than giving it to the govt. iirc the rate of return of money invested in SS is around 1%. The worst Fund Manager on Wall St. would easily triple that. The Dems use ignorance and fear to scare people into trusting the Govt. which I'm sure you would be the first to admit is a huge mistake. I got the kerosene and I'm ready whenever you are. Problem is, neither party would be a better choice. Absolutely, we can trust corporations with our very lives. How do you explain corpoarte failures like Enron, Worldcom, United, etc............? You beat me to that one_________________________________ I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  4. "I find them to be barbaric and at the start of the current Iraqi conflict I didn't feel this way. I am tired of them, I'm tired of their nonsensical statements, their value system and their beliefs."___________________________________________I will say it again. Their business. We need to stay out of it. No wonder they hate us. Come stick your nose in my business and see what happens I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  5. You implied this would be typical police response, but your one cite involves a repeat offender at triple (IOW, fucking obvious PC) the limit? Years ago the legal limit was .2. All about money babe. Need to just do the impaired standard. W/ all the video available nowadays I'm sure a jury can tell if you are impaired. Like I and someone else stated different people have different thresholds I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  6. and you are saying the "system" is what's wrong? Pretty much. As I said in another thread. Multiple charges to get you to cop a plea. For instance. My breakup w/ my last wife was NASTY. She called crying and lying and got a restraining order against me. I called my son twice on his birthday to say hello, happy birthday son. Couple weeks later I get charged w/ 4 counts of violation of said order and 2 counts AGGRAVATED STALKING. (the fuckin judge wanted to put me in prison for 5 yrs) Gimme a fucking break. After 2 yrs of probation my officer (a black women) said after numerous contact w/ the ex said " I finally figuired out you were the victim in this one" I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  7. Very funny. Of course, they don't do that. Gee, really? I know a person that had them do that. I felt kinda bad, cause I told him to refuse all field sobriety tests or submission of blowing, blood if you are drunk. They got a telephonic warrant and did the deed. Will you be embarrassed if I do internet research that provides that they do do that, counselor? I'm just a little ole layperson over here . I know someone else who (in Ca.) refused a breathalyzer. They forcibly took blood. I do believe if there is bodily harm they are by law allowed. He didn't do any property damage and hurt no one I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  8. If they were a corp. people would be going to jailhttp://www.usatoday.com/printedition/news/20060803/1a_coverart03.art_dom.htm I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  9. Nowadays it's (felony) the 3rd or 4th in most states me thinks. Looking at 5 yrs. w/ Bubba I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  10. The "law" you've seen on TV is not really law and the laws governing such differ from state to state. If you're really curious, google the state law in which Gibson was arrested under. The law is the law and the case law defines it. It should only take an evening of study, you might end up with a headache, but you might understand it better (or not, legalise language is amazingly hard to understand without some training sometimes). LMAO Trust me I KNOW the law. I've had 3 DUI's. I just think it's fucked up. I'm not normal til I'm .08 LOL And I've played my own lawyer on a number of occasions and won.Edit to add: I haven't had a drivers license for 19 yrs. They make you pay one way or another. Who needs a stinkin license anyway? I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  11. I was just watching the news about Mel Gibson. He's being charged w/> DUI (misd.) >BAC over .08 (misd.) Also cited for open container. I in no way condone his behavior. But (Lawrocket or any other lawyers) isn't the DUI charge and the over .08 the same fuckin thing? Also, they need to go after the fuckin police for the coverup. Joe Smo wouldn't get preferential treatment. He must be buddies w/ the Kennedys eh? I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  12. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  13. Orlando, Florida just did the same thinghttp://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/orange/orl-lochomeless0206aug02,0,4940813.story?track=rss I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  14. No worries. I justregistered in Fla. My vote will cancell someones at least. Except for the Diebold machines And Jeb gotta go too. Turned a state surplus into the red just like Shrub did the nation I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  15. IT goes back over 60 years.. the USA was one of the very first countries to ratify the new State of Israel. The Arabs have NEVER accepted Israels existence.... and attacked them immediately... and have lost more ground over and over..... the Arabs are some serious self loathing MOFO"S since they are some of the worst ANTI SEMITIC spewing sucka's in the world. IF they want to live in peace.. then let them make peace. SO FAR they are incapable of it... but at least Egypt and Jordan have made some decisions based on the reality of the situation and have decided to move on with Israel as a neighbor. The terroist organizations thrive on the strife.. its their reason for being....They would all just be a useless vestige of a failed historical experiment..... should there be peace... and they cant handle being relegated to irrelevancy. Jeez. Ya think USA Imperialism could be the root of the problem. Big Corps. and USA trying to take over the world. God I feel like a fuckin Myna bird. Polly want a cracker? I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  16. To the contrary. Soldiers are not expendable and it sickens me that our civilian leadership has repeatedly ignored our military leadership in favor of this middle east imperialism campaign. Our soldiers have been performing valiantly considering that they were sent to do a job that they were not trained or equipped for. And when something bad happens, instead of respect the soldiers get blamed for carrying out orders that originated in the offices of the Pentagon lawyers. Add in the multiple tours, the stop loss programs and the poor pay and health care shortcomings and you have only scratched the surface on how this civilian leadership has abused our military. Instead of Bush, Rummy, Cheney, Rice and the rest of the warmongering bunch saying that they stand *behind* our troops, I say let them put up or shut up and stand in *front* of our troops. That would be leadership. But, but, but, didn't Condi just fly into Lebanon? Kinda funny the Israelis quit shelling for the two days tho. Ya think maybe Washington has some say so in the Israeli attacks/. Say it ain't so I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  17. http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/07/31/D8J75DVO1.htmlYeah right. Gimme a break. I'm sure the guards are terrorfied. Well. Fidel's going down so maybe we'll have the whole island anyway. Turn it into one BIG fuckin prison where nobody has any rights. Kinda like Castro's rule himself. WE ARE BECOMING WHAT THEY ARE I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  18. "They dropped pamphlets and forewarned civilians to get out of those areas." And then bombed the fuck outta the roads and everyone leaving I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

OK. I guess I have to spell it it out AGAIN> If G8 and the fuckin powers that be (the big corps.) would stop trying to TAKE OVER THE FUKIN WORLD and kill the planet in the process maybe they woudn't fuck w/ us. Food for thought I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  20. Me thinks we need to rename that "Secretary of OFFENSE" I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  21. I usually side w/ you. BUT. Back to the root problem. What caused them to hate us to start w/ ? I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  22. LOL. How are you doing that if you're posting? Get back to work I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  23. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/07/30/AR2006073000580.html?referrer=email&referrer=email&referrer=email I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  24. Jeez guys. Just cause they're getting drunk together doesn't mean they're gonna run together. I wonder if they got drunk and screwed tho. They did say their memories were hazy. But isn't that SOP for politicians? I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  25. Go read up on Custer Battles/ Danubia Global/ whatever they are called this week. Seriously read up on it. I know some of their former employees. It is quite eye-opening about contracting in Iraq and corruption and will probably send you into low earth orbit. As a minor aside, I don't believe that a Dem. as POTUS would do better in this area. Our government lacks oversight (well, just about any modern gov't does) and has a certain level of corruption to it. Numerous agencies and companies have exploited this in the GWOT. See also, Gary Lakis and Surgical Shooting. Trust me. I worked for Bechtel. I know how the game is played I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
