Never been summoned. Just as well. They'd throw me out in a hurry. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

Just an observation. I've lived with Muslims for a while. I found them to be very similar to American Christians. Their society is basically based on their belief system, but few actually act constrained by those beliefs. In private conversations, my Muslim friends didn't see us as much different in that respect. It is the fringe that gets the attention. Base your view of a group by a few members, and you often get a very stilted view. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

I really hope I have missed the context of this. I have been US Army over 26 years. We are trained to avoid non-combatant casualties. It is part of our mandatory training on Law of War annually. It is part of our prep to deploy. It is part of my training as a planner to avoid cultural sites, populated areas and all manner of collateral damage. In practice, Soldiers routinely accept greater risks, injury and death to protect non-combatants. Our enemies use this against us regularly. Women and children are used against us because our enemies know it is in our nature to protect those weaker than ourselves. It is part of what drives us to do what we do. If I understand this post and have not taken it out of context, I am more greatly offended than words can express. I am sadly reminded that my enemies understand me and my brothers and sisters at arms much better than those we protect. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

I would guess that kids are attracted to the electronic lock and hit the keys for fun. They might also fancy themselves safe crackers and are trying to guess the code for fun. Get stuff up on the walls to reduce the echo. If you have hardwood floors, get some area rugs. Also, keep the TV or radio on for background noice until you get settled. The different feel, smell and sound of the place are throwing you. If you had a favorite scent in your old place, use it in the new place. I can't sleep in hotels and the Army loves to send me places. Figures. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

I try to guilt myself out of eating some stuff. I have a fairly strict diet. But once I choose to get off the wagon, I just enjoy myself.

Really? Are you blaming the parents then? There are a lot worse things parents have done to their children outside the spotlight that has produced less than optimal adult behavior. But they are still responsible for their actions. As they should be. One cannot control the hand they are dealt as a child, but has the power to change as an adult. I am blaming the parents for placing their child in a very hazardous environment, often for their own profit, and not providing appropriate safeguards for the child. I'm sure some parents have done it right, but it goes wrong too often. At some point, I agree the child has to own up to their actions despite their background.

I don't think Republicans are the only ones who claim to support family values or some such wording.

How are you guys making this a Democrat v. Republican or liberal v. conservative thing? Is anyone keeping stats? I'm pretty sure they would be pretty even if you were paying attention. Jesse Jackson - Liberal - Love child Jimmy Swaggart - Conservative - Likes hookers ???? I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

Nope. Social Security disability is a huge field for some attorneys. The SS administration actually pays the attorney's fees to get the person the SS that the administration already denied. (I also happen to be an attorney) Most Americans are unaware of how big an industry this is. And there is no connection to age or whether you ever held a job. Want an eye opener on medicaid?

I don't blame that on how she looks. No kid should have to deal with the kind of attention she got so early in life. So few make it out sane. What parent would do that to their child?

I'm having trouble keeping up with the flow. I wasn't ignoring your post. SS is going to people for supposed disabilities who are in the teens and twenties. They are not widows. It is not the backup retirement system it was meant to be. I never intended for widows of the men who paid into the system to be included. You are imputing a silly argument to me that I never made. And lots of illegal aliens are using medicaid. You kinda missed that. And by the by...I'm at 26 years of military service and counting.

Wendy, I have always respected your opinions here, but let's be serious. Trotting out the elderly, sick and poor is a dirty trick. Nobody wants to hurt those who actually deserve and need aid. My point is that there are ridiculous numbers that are receiving it that should not. Social Security is not going just to hard working men and women who paid into it. It is being used to pay people for any number of things. It has so little resemblance to what it was intended to be that you have to be blind to defend it. Medicaid is hardly better. And what is characterized as defense spending is often pork projects legislator funnel through defense. Pork and corruption is rife in these areas because people will make the arguments you just made and people hate to point out that the emperor is naked. The underlying principles of all three are good and just. The execution is corrupt and serious cuts in their budgets would force change.

OK. Here we go. I like flat taxes. It means everybody pays. People who benefit more from a free economy pay more. People who benefit (make) less, pay less. But everybody is vested in the government and have an interest in it working and even paying attention to what it does. If you don't pay taxes, you are influenced to vote for whoever gives you money. This is bad. Now, I also see that a flat tax coupled with elimination of all the tax exemptions would do something else. It would eliminate the need for the IRS. How much does that save us? Did you say Billions? With a B? And all those accountants and tax lawyers have to find more productive work? What does that do for our economy? How about eliminating tax deductions? You mean the governmet isn't going to use the tax code to tell us how to live our lives? But I like deducting my mortgage interest. Isn't home ownership good? Yes, but you don't get a deduction for home ownership. If you own your home, you get nothing. You get a deduction for home owership...huh? That's right. You pay less taxes because you are sending profit to the mortgage company. The federal gives up revenue in favor of your mortgage company. That means we have been subsidizing all those corporations that just tanked our economy. And then we bailed them out. Good plan, guys. Good plan. What about the deduction for having lots of kids? Really? We want to encourage people to have more kids when we have special departments in the UN trying to figure out what to do about over-population? When we have kids in foster care and orphanages that need parents? We're going to reward you for procreation? Was this really necessary? I know it would take a phased plan to go from our current tax system to something understandable like "Send in 10%. Keep the rest." But it has many, many merits. Oh yeah...while we're getting rid of the IRS, why do we need a federal department of education to take our money and only give it back if we promise to train our kids the way they think we should? The Department of Energy was created to get us independent of foreign oil. Good job, guys. National Endowment for the Arts? If people want those arts, they'll support them. If they do not, why is the government taking our money and giving it to them? Let's face it. There are lots of cuts just begging to be made. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

Dont agree Correctly targeted cuts would stimulate and increase revenues As for cutting? Sharp edged point and hard to argue with and I agree neither party is willing to do what is right So what will YOU cut that will make a difference AND be acceptable to the voters? First you get rid of department like that of education and the arts Then get rid of the dups like the 7 differnt job Try again, it has to make a difference, not be a drop in the bucket. It's mathematically impossible to balance the budget without cutting defense, Soc.Sec. and/or Medicare. So what will you cut? Easy vote for me. Medicare and social security are going to people who never paid in, did not earn and have no intention of doing so. Cut out those people and run your numbers again. I can also admit that defense spending is going to lots of stuff it should not, but if you knew more about it, you would realize that is because the politicians are cycling kickbacks through the defense department. It is not actual defense spending. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

No, Wendy. Nor was it in Rome. My point is that 10% was plenty until the corruption got out of control. Our government can't survive on 10% because the corruption is already out of control. I say cut the government and it's spending and the intake will be just fine. How many people get to vote themselves a raise to match their desired spending? I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

Rome was a dominant force in the world on 10%. The Catholic Church was a dominant force in the world on 10%. It appears 10% is plenty if you can keep the corruption to a minimum. I vote for 10%.

I thought the article was much ado about nothing. I'm not a fan of Mrs. Palin. But I will object to the characterization of any woman the way she is described here. I don't mind the profanity in this forum. The bickering between patrons of the forum is ridiculous, but that's going to happen (I guess). This comment was base and rude for no reason. I'm thinking it's time to take another vacation from this forum. Civil debate seems to be beyond some of the forumites. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

Work with me here...I understand why you pointed this guy out...but how can you tell which ones AREN'T sleazy? I just assume they are guilty until proven innocent. How many have been proven innocent?

How many vibrators does this guy want to steal? And then what does he do - open an Ebay store? And think of the embarrassment if you're caught for armed robbery of a [women's] sex shop. Fair enough. How about - he knocks over the convenience store next door with his gun and uses the cash to buy his skank a dildo? Now, he has his gat, scat and something for the cat.
