plus I hear they like it in the butt.

what did they call it? The Orld Ide Eb?

In terms of prose? Gotta be Homer. Philosophically? Either Aristotle or Epicurus.

bahhh..that's easy. Let me see you study The Epic of Gilgamesh in its original Ancient Sumerian

1 - Gigolo to the supermodel set 2 - Porn star 3 - Kama Sutra instructor 4 - "full service" massage therapist for women 5 - Priest

Hmmm...guess education's slipped a knotch or two since my day. We studied the Odyssey and Iliad in 10th grade. What's the curriculum, watching O' Brother Where Art Thou?

Sounds like they needed to be arrested. That's a small step away from robbery.

Don't be modest....you haven't slowed down your bitching about Clinton in the slightest. Until another democrat wins office, I'm sure he'll continue to be a source of daily bitching for you

We've just surpassed 2000 dead American soldiers in Iraq. Pretty soon we'll have killed off more Americans than died on 9/11. No wonder there haven't been anymore terrorist attacks in the US. We send them over to the middle east and make it easier for them.

Ever hear of Beanie Sigel? Just got acquitted of murder. I've read at least a dozen articles in the past month in admittedly liberal/alternative newspapers that criticize his lyrics glorifying gangbanging and drug dealing. But I guess you wouldn't want to read that stuff, it would ruin your false assumptions.

I wish I didn't read that

Howard Stern has been singing the praises of this book for years and credits Sarno with elliminating what had been many years of pain for himself.

Well...here's some more info for you......ruh roe reorge. Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff first learned about the CIA officer at the center of a leak investigation in a conversation with Cheney weeks before her identity became public in July 2003, The New York Times reported on Monday. Notes of the conversation between chief of staff Lewis Libby and Cheney on June 12, 2003, put a spotlight on the vice president's possible role in the leak. The account also appears to run counter to Libby's testimony to a federal grand jury that he first learned about the CIA officer, Valerie Plame, from reporters. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051025/ts_nm/bush_leak_cheney_dc Hmmm...no nothing wrong with this... "Cheney's office began looking into Wilson's background in May or June of 2003, after details of his mission began to appear in the press but well before he came out publicly in July 2003 with his criticisms"

Hey...you slackers at the back...your end's drooping, flap harder!!

Again...in a perfect world I agree with you. But it ain't gonna happen. If we had a completely libertarian gov't the people would organize themselves into geographically convenient groups that pooled their resources. It's what man has done since the dawn of time. We'd end up a nation of city states. Some cities would be better off than others, jealousy and war would then ensue. Libertarian ideals, capitalist ideals, socialist ideals, anarchist ideals. None of these "ideals" can work in their pure form. They are all self destructive because they are all inherently flawed. They all seek to embody an ideal that goes against human nature. There are pieces of each that are good. We need to incorporate all those good pieces and balance them.

Actually, wouldn't you be invading main land europe right along with us?

Can you tell me what government programs hand out cash? The gov't has taken on this role because it was NECESSARY. Because the model you propose, and which I said would be great in a perfect world, DIDN'T work. People were literally starving to death. No, it's not perfect now, but at least it's better than it was. Quick question, do you have any idea what percentage of your tax dollars go to welfare? I think you'll find there are many other gov't programs wasting a lot more money with a lot less redeeming value. Why do people focus on welfare which is LESS THAN 1% OF THE BUDGET? Please read this http://www.apa.org/pi/wpo/myths.html and then think about if we should concentrate on cutting spending somewhere else that wouldn't lead to starvation. You say you don't think the gov't has the RIGHT to tell you who to help with your money. Well, in regard to welfare they're screwing you for about 1%. I don't think the gov't should tell me I have to pay for a war I think is unjust. Yet there goes 35% of my money. So forgive me if I don't sympathize with your plight.

May I direct you to post #10, 2nd paragraph. It's already been done. May I direct you to whom I was replying? I don't include you in the "you guys" category who would follow a party line over the cliff.

I did the same thing.

last time I checked, it was not just a lie, it was perjury. that't not just wrong, it's a crime. Funny how all the conservative pundits have been saying that if Fitzgerald starts charging people with perjury, that will demonstrate the weakness of his case. Oh, and by the way. Testimony before a grand jury is under oath. If these guys are proven to have said or done things that they denied while testifying...it's perjury. And again...please tell me....what's a more heinous crime. Perjuring yourself about a blow job. Or exposing covert operatives to further political objectives in seeking war and destroy the credibility of opposing voices. No matter how many times this is pointed out to YOU GUYS, you still don't seem to care. I'll put it another way. Yes, Bill Clinton was wrong to commit perjury. Will you guys admit that Rove and Libby, if guilty of exposing the name of a CIA operative were wrong?

Irony. You use partisan labels to label others as partisan. And than go on to say how much better thought out one group is than the other. Partisanship, by definition, is thinking one side is better than the other. You know what I see? I see that left wingers are usually more introspective, less hypocritical, and more empathetic toward the view point of others. The split you see in the right wingers is that some of them are as well. They're the ones that finally see the truth about GWB.

Finally, someone found a good use for flash besides crappy home pages and advertising. http://fcmx.net/vec/v.php?i=003702&p=1

82% of Iraqis. [sarcasm]They should do as they're told and thank us for occupying them. I'm sure it's great. [/sarcasm] Yeah yeah, Saddam was a bad guy but we haven't exactly showered paradise down on them.

In a perfect world, that would be great. But, as witnessed in this thread, many people falsely assume than anyone on assistance doesn't deserve help, and therefore wouldn't donate that way. That's why these unfortunately bloated beuracratic programs exist. If not for them, people would literally starve to death in this country. This goes back to my comment that was criticized as being marxist. Pooling resources for the common good. Many people feel the war in Iraq is justified, that the war on drugs in important. I don't, but my money goes that way because many feel it is important. I feel the war on poverty is important. Some of them think all you need to do is want to work and magically you have a job. Yes, it would be nice to pick and choose which charity your money goes to, but realistically, sometimes those with the most need don't get the most support. Another comment that will probably get me branded as a marxist. There are social programs necessery to the health and welfare of our citizenry. By definition these social programs are socialist in nature. I believe limited socialism as it relates to benefitting the nation as a whole in providing a barrier from starvation and utter misery is a good thing. Beyond that I'm as capitalist and competetive as the next guy. I just happen to beliieve that every human deserves some basic necessities of life even if we have to sacrifice a little for them. No matter how stubbornly someone refuses to help themselves, doesn't mean we should turn a blind eye to them. I would think the Christians here (of which I'm not one) would understand that.
