Is it possible they want to get OBL themselves to get the reward that goes with his capture???? ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

I don' think your sample is large enough to draw conclusions. Obviously each situation is different. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

The economy is doing good. The DOW is up almost 8% in the last 12months Don't be getting greedy now. You can't expect double digit gains in % every year can you? Chris ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Is it posible these guys were "freelancers operating outside the law and without the U.S. government's knowledge" Or do we just sweep that under the rug? Could it be another case like the Berge follow who was beheaded. Maybe these guys were doing a little business of their own and they got busted? Now that they are in trouble they are saying.... Oh the Govmnt made us do it. Real secret agents wouldn't be copping out and blaming the Government if they were on some covert mission. Just a thought. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

I know why it's a bad idea..... Because it is a waste of Fucking money. The USA is and has been quite capible of running its own election without international scrutiny or support. There are a great deal of things the UN could do with the time and money it would take to "Monitor" the election. I know nothing about Norway. I won't pretend to, but my assumtion is that this is a country which is used to international involvment. Many European countries are. Mainly because they are small and close by. What one country does can dramatically affect surrounding countries. The USA has never been that way. We have always been a bit isolationistic since our conseption. PS - if Isolationistic isn't a word, then it is now ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

That was a riot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

You can try to convince me all day long that they were clueless as to what was going on, just as I could try to convince you the GWB was not to blame for bad intel on the IRAQ wmd. Either way it will get us nowhere. Chris ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Not entirely. Several differing studies have shown that criminals typically have very high self esteem. (I deserve XX but can't buy it so I'll steal it from the jerk that doesn't deserve it) Also many successful people have very low self esteem and push themselves to exceptional levels in a constant attempt to 'prove' themselves. Many work-a-holics have self esteem issues. They can be highly productive, even if they are self destructive. Averages and Normals are not the same!!!! Example: more than 96% of americans have and above average number of limbs. The average number of limbs a person has is about 3.996. Most people have 4. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Here is an example of a BAD headline. Not biased, but generally not great. Al Franken Beats O'Reilly in NY Radio Matchup http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20040721/media_nm/media_airamerica_dc See how they set this up.... They go on and on about Fraken and then they dump this small bit in: Do you see what I mean???? The truth is O'Reilly did better in the general Demographic and Fraken did better in the smaller demographic and RUSH blew them both away!!!!

No, you are right, but one must understand that unfortunatly there are alot of IDIOTS in this country. And, also it is unfortunate that these IDIOTS votes count just as much as yours and as mine. Many people think certain ways without even realizing it, but they were influence by something they heard or saw. It is sad really.... ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

What about the LAtimes? NYTimes? Not liberal? And not the papers of record? I always here the line that BIG BUSINESS owns these media outlets.. they are coservative, why would they lean left? Well first of all the CEO of GE isn't lining up the top stories on the news tonight. Secondly GE is in the business of making money. Money at any cost. They don't own media outlets because it is a cool thing to do, they own them to turn PROFITS. The Natn'l Equirer tells LIES everyday. They are in the business of lying, but they make MONEY!!!! People eat that shit up. If a Republican was told leaning left in his news would help sell more advertizing he would intentionally lean it left. That is NOT what is going on however. What is going on is "Selling" a story. In doing so the media has a tendency to always side with the "little guy". Also american media has a way of sympathizing with the enemy (again the little guy compared to the US). That is just the way it is.... Everyone spins (even FOX) as a teaser to an upcoming segment or a headline to catch the readers attention, but in doing so sometimes is skews the facts surrounding a story.

There is no such thing. Democracy runs on the concept of a majority rule. When the majority of the people can vote for one candidate, yet another candidate wins the election, with less votes......it is impossible to call that a democracy. It is getting old!!!! Go see a shrink if you can't deal with the difficulty you are having with this!!!! MAJORITY DOESN"T RULE!!!!! MOST AMERICANS DIDN"T WANT BLACKS TO HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS...... Is that a democracy???? MOST OF THE PEOPLE OF MA DON"T WANT GAYS TO MARRY. IS THAT FAIR. OK MAJORITY RULES FROM NOW ON!!!!!! Chris ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Exactly..... I was teased and picked on during all my school years. If anything it builds character and inner strength. Self esteem is ones perception of oneself, and is a key indicator of success. People with higher self esteem tend to be more productive and successful. The more one beleives they can succeed the less likely they are to give up trying. In many places they aren't keeping score anymore at baseball games and football games because they don't want the poor children to feel bad if they loose. If anything this helps to lower self esteem and instead builds a false sense of security. Children then don't know what loss is, and are devistated when they get in the real world. People don't want to loose. They want to win. Taking scores out of games also takes drive and desire out of the games. Life is a competition the quicker children learn this the better off they are (IMO)> Chris ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Why is this in the top 10 stories on CNN? http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/07/21/jenna.bush.ap/index.html ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

I think we as citizens of our own country have been doing a pretty good job at policing ourselves for the past 200+ years. We don't need a group of internationals coming here to make sure we know how to run an election. Whose Idea is this anyway? In Iraq's last presidential election the UN didn't sit in on that.... But they want to sit in on ours??? Are you fucking kidding me? ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

I watched some of it, and the people on there just pissed me off. So I changed the channel. IMO - that family was pretty trashy :-) and a bit F***ed in the head!!!!! Chris ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Well, let me be the first to tell you... The recession is over! Has been for a while now! Anyone... What was the longest recession in US history? Am I wrong in saying a recssion has never lasted more than 13 months or something like that? Chris ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

I happen to beleive this is all alright!!! Sorry, but profiling does work. Under 25 you pay more in insurance. Why???? Because statistics show you are more likely to cost the insurance company money. Insurance companies are not into loosing money. Everyone judges people by how they Dress, or speak. It is human nature. Don't tell me you don't. A good deal of it is subconscience. As far as hiring people is concerned.... I will hire someone who is average, but a good fit in the work environment vs. excellent worker, but an introvert or arrogant SOB. That is life. Flying in planes is not a right. It is a privledge. So is driving. If they want to search people 10 times they should be able to do it. It is the price you pay for the privledge.

Tonto, don't be foolish. Are you recommending we invade NK???? That's what it sounds like to me. Do you think for a minute that if we KNEW Iraq already had Nuclear weapons we would invade? No. If Iraq had Nukes we certainly wouldn't have. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Virtually anyone can be a Democrat. Just simply quit thinking (about it) and vote that way. If you want to be a GOOD Democrat, however, there are some prerequisites you must have first. Compare them below and see how you rate... 1. You have to believe the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of Federal funding. 2. You have to believe that the same school system that can't teach 4th graders how to read is somehow the best qualified to teach those same kids all about sex. 3. You have to believe that guns, in the hands of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology, in the hands of Chinese communists. 4. You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding. 5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical, documented changes in the earth's climate, and more affected by Americans driving SUVs'! 6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural. 7. You have to be against capital punishment but support abortion on demand. 8. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create osperity. 9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists from Seattle do. 10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it. 11. You have to believe the U.S. military, not evil, tyrannical regimes, start wars. 12. You have to believe the NRA is bad, because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good, because it supports certain parts of the constitution. 13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, butATM fees are too high. 14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson or Thomas Edison. 15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not. 16. You have to believe Hillary Clinton is all about "progress" and not power. She just wants to help us out of the archaic system of governing that we've been subjected to since our founding. 17. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried, is because the right people haven't been in charge. 18. You have to believe Republicans telling the truth belong in jail, but a cheat, liar and sex offender belongs in the White House and you would vote him back in there in a New York minute (if you could). 19. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites and beastiality should be constitutionally protected and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal. 20. You have to believe that illegal Democrat Party funding by the Chinese is somehow in the best interest of the United States. 21. You have to believe that the vociferous minorities who protest against prayer and saluting the flag in school have far more rights than the majority who believe in God and country and want these values to be instilled in our young children. If you are locked in solidly to most of these beliefs - you're gonna be a big asset to John Kerry. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

HAHAHA Richard Clark.. Yeah..there's a realiable source. George Tenant !!! He was the Fucking problem. IMO he should have gone long ago. Let's not forget the Toricelli Principal(sp?)
