Listening to bush is dangerous, it has been shown to lower the IQ of about 24% of listeners. (I reference many posts on this site as examples) Obama was smart not to listen. If you are influenced that much by a person speaking on TV then I feel sorry for you. I personally place Obama higher than that. He's obviously not one of the 24% you're refering to. Therefore, he had no excuse to miss it. It was tacky and disrespectful. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

I'm sure you realized this, but all that crap was just a cut and paste from urbandictionary.com Not worth a detailed response directed at Amazon. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

You have to admit, he was right on target on this one. Yeah, I guess. Doesn't really make it a prophecy. Let me try. In the future there will be many great accomplishments. However, some failures will occur. Check back in a few years. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

How did everyone feel about Obama going out to dinner during the farewell address? The pundits seem to be discussing it some. I personally don't think it's that big of a deal. A little tacky, but whatever. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

So Obama is the only possible hope for America to succeed in the future? Don't put all your eggs in one basket, man. For the sake of the country, I hope he succeeds. If he doesn't, I hope someone comes along who can. I don't think we're all doomed to the dark ages if Obama isn't the savior you're hoping for. As far as the other post, are you really surprised that a former KGB agent is predicting the end of America? Did you skip over this part? Mr. Panarin's apocalyptic vision "reflects a very pronounced degree of anti-Americanism in Russia today," says Vladimir Pozner, a prominent TV journalist in Russia. "It's much stronger than it was in the Soviet Union." Mr. Pozner and other Russian commentators and experts on the U.S. dismiss Mr. Panarin's predictions. "Crazy ideas are not usually discussed by serious people," says Sergei Rogov, director of the government-run Institute for U.S. and Canadian Studies, who thinks Mr. Panarin's theories don't hold water. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Thanks for posting that. It was well thought out and very well worded. The specific details and sources provided cetainly prove your point in an intelligent and meaningful manor. Nerdgirl, watchout. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

You will NEVER be able to convince the Bushbot dead enders.... most of em are too fucking stupid to believe anything other than what is on FAUX NEWS.. or what comes out of Lush RimJobs piehole. No matter what evidence there is.. no matter the profits by their heros... no matter how in the shit hole our economy is because of the mismanagement and malfeasanse of their heros.. they will ALWAYS want to believe that there was a higher purpose. Translated to mean whatever a Dem does is ok but whatever a Republican does is wrong. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

True. My bad. I'm no rocket surgeon. Agreed. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Really? That's suprising... (sarcasm) How many terrorist attacks per year, on average, have there been in the USA that killed people in recent history (call it 7 years)? -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

So they can do whatever illegal shit they want as long as they're doing a good job in office? And they're only in the wrong if they're a Republican? -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Fourth Geneva Convention, which I believe Israel signed in 1952. ARTICLE 47 of the Convention reads: "Protected persons who are in occupied territory shall not be deprived, in any case or in any manner whatsoever, of the benefits of the present Convention by any change introduced, as the result of the occupation of a territory, into the institutions or government of the said territory, nor by any agreement concluded between the authorities of the occupied territories and the Occupying Power, nor by any annexation by the latter of the whole or part of the occupied territory." ARTICLE 49 (para. 6) reads: "The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies." added by idrankwhat: Sounds pretty straightforward to me. Straightforward concerning what? They're talking about the recent conflict and, so far, Israel is not transfering its own civilian population into the territory. They're also not claiming to annex the land. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

That's different than him being evil. Obama may agree with you on that point. That's not what he said. Not nearly, nearly as many as MSNBC would have you to believe. Yes. Hitler believed in the extermination of races. If you fail to see the difference and honestly don't think Hitler was evil, then it's just plain sad. The US is done the way we know it or it will cease to exist? Apparently, you and others on this board would be happy if the US as we know it today was done. If you think Obama is the sole savior of this country then I think you're going to be very disappointed. If you think Obama is the last chance for this country to exist then that's even sadder. Obama is smarter and more professional than to say anything other than something positive about the out-going President. I hope you don't get this wound up over every little thing he does over the next 4 years. I also can't believe I'm defending Obama against a liberal. Back-asserds. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

I agree the last few seconds are the best part. The whole thing is a knee jerk reaction and an attempt to blame everyone but himself. Then he realizes his situation is his own doing. Great movie, I thought. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

So what you're saying is that cheating on your wife and lying about it is ok because people on both sides of the isle do it? What Clinton did was wrong on all counts. What bathroom boy and Spitzer did wer equally wrong. I think they should all be called out and punished. The difference is that you'll spend the next few posts justifying why you think Clinton wasn't wrong. I doubt it's because you actually think it's ok. It's just because he's a dem and the Party of Blame Everyone But Youself can do no wrong in your eyes. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

1. Do you think Bush is a bad or evil guy? 2. What would you expect the President-elect to say about the outgoing President? I feel he made his opinions of the Bush administration clear during the campaign. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Remarkably accurate. I like,"The sheer number of jobs created by digging the whole is worth the money." -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

I think that proves his point. Clinton cheating on his wife and commiting perjury is fine in your eyes. A married man trying to pick up dudes in the bathroom is the end of the world because you think he's GOAT FUCK STUPID. Pretty much defines double standard. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

I'm only speaking for myself, but I think we should have gotten Saddam the first time around. Invading Iraq the 2nd time was a mistake. We should have focused solely on chasing Al Qaida in Afghanistan and trying to capture or kill Osama Bin Laden and his co-horts. We almost got him at Tora Bora (name?). Taking the focus off of Afghanistan to invade Iraq just stretched us too thin. I don't know what else to say. I'm glad Saddam's not in power anymore and that he was executed, but it should have been done the first time around, just MHO. Of course, that alone probably would have changed the dynamics of the middle east and things would be different now, whether it would be worse or better, I couldn't tell. I agree with you on most of that. My question was to Amazon. It seems she thinks it's perfectly acceptable to wipe the Palestinians off the map and turn the entire area into a wasteland, but our fighting in Iraq is wrong on all counts. I find the double speak interesting, for lack of a better word. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

I am sorry but your views are myopic and so scandalously lopsided it frightens me. If this is indeed a war, as you have stated, the way Israel is going about it is nothing short of criminal. If this is indeed a war, Israel is fighting it decisively with no intent of stopping before the win. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Ah yes more of the same old same old view of the poor agrieved brown people with victim scrawled on their foreheads( till they run around the corner to the UN Headquarters parking lot and light off a Kasam rocket then run back around the corner to get back in the demonstration ) You seem to be incapable of what peace is and what war can be. I value cultures that can live on the planet in peace and prosper and have have happy and fulfilled children. I think the parking lot idea is a VERY good one.... if you are incapable of peace then you desrve the best war the west can bring to you. Want to protect them... live in peace with your neighbors.. get on with living... rather than teaching them they have nothing to live for but to become shaheeds. I am quite sure a 5 or 6 year old is not thinking with their dick and wishing for their 72 virgins. How can you be so against the Iraq war and talk like this about other situations? -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Think about it.. rub a few of those brain cells together.... and get back to us. Key words BOLDED So what you're telling me is... We're still at war and the economy is a mess but 100 Mil for the party is fine cause he's a dem. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

What would that prove? You think he will (or should) cower away from any such situation? EDITED: WTF does that have to do with his inaguration expenditures, anyway? It's ok for the waste of money because you don't think he'll go to war? The country is at war now and the economy is a complete mess. Yet you think it's ok for him to spend 100M because in the future (in your opinion) he probably won't take us into another war. It's either a waste of money or it's not. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Because it IS a fact. They are your prisoners and Israel's actions in Gaza violate international law. Just because Hamas breaks similar laws doesn't mean that it's ok for Israel to do the same, or worse. And the only reason that Israel is allowed to break international laws with no consequences is because of us. Then who allows Hamas to break the laws? If someone, or some country, had stopped the rockets then Israel wouldn't have gone in. What can anyone else do? Sanction a group whose greater population resides in a concentration camp behind a US enabled Israeli blockade? Send in Multinational troops to help patrol and the borders? Good luck getting Israel to agree to the latter. I'm all for it, West Bank included. If nobody can stop them from lobbing rockets then why are you so upset Israel finally had enough and went in? It was my impression that the blockade from Israel began after Hamas took over and started launching rockets and mortars. What should they have done? The Egyptian border, to my knowledge, allowed Palestinians to leave. I think your definition of a concentration camp may be a little off. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

So Obama is just doing the same thing Bush did, only much bigger? -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.
