You don't understand, I don't want to sell everything and move from my loved homeland, I just want to shoot the pig.. But seriously, I do love the change of season here in Pennsylvania, We have the best of both worlds, Our summers are hot enough to bitch about but not really unbearable. Just as our winters, There is alot of water and hills here so we can swim in our rivers/lakes and ponds in the summer but ice skate, snow mobile and of course snow ski in the winter and water ski in the summer. People here also skydive year round, I am not one of those people anymore but some still do. My favorites are spring and fall but I can enjoy them all. But on the other hand this winter has been abnormally bad, to the point that the cold killed some of my animals and therefore I do look forward to spring. ------Have a good one!--------

Well to all you true believers and those who are uninformed, That whistle pig ground hog Punxsutawney Phil has indeed seen his shadow and predicts 6 more weeks of winter, I want him dead. ------Have a good one!--------

Lost contact around 207,000 feet over Texas. 7 on board. ------Have a good one!--------

The Space shuttle Columbia is off radar and no contact, This looks bad. Gone for 16 minutes right now at 9.17 a.m Eastern U.S. ------Have a good one!--------

I agree with what you say about the urban warfare, I am also led to believe we will see ALOT more remote control land assault vehicles backed up by fixed wing gunships targeting the enemy weapon fire that is shooting at the R/C's. Kinda like using decoys, Pretty kewl. I heard the computers and sensors can watch/track a person shoot out a window and fallow him into/through the building and still shoot him in the middle of the building with a single or multi round burst, they track the person by his and his guns heat signature shooting the shooter and no one else..Thats bad ass.When I was a kid this shit was sci-fi movie stuff. We can count on a lot of new hi-tec equipment being used and most the battle will still be fought from the air even though it will be urban, Choppers these days are also computerized incredibly efficient killing machines and most will be done at night. My biggest worry is that Saddam will retaliate with WMD. I agree with you on Saddam possibly giving a hell of a conventional weapons only battle and when his doom is near he may try to surrender into exile, Because he and everyone else knows that if he uses any MORE WMD he will die. ------Have a good one!--------

I agree. But how do you apply that at an Internet-forum? Same way you do in real life, Just give what you say/type a little thought before spurting it out and watch where you say what, In the "Bad Joke" thread hey anything goes, But when your having a serious conversation and some one types something like "Did you hear the Prez slur that word, He's an Idiot" ..This is not a joke, It's an insult to alot of people, People that have feelings about things they can't help at all. But I'll be the first to post a "Bob" joke in the bad joke forum. Or tell a stuttering joke. Just think a little about the joke before hand. ------Have a good one!--------

Some times people say mean, nasty, hurtful things and don't even know it and sometimes need to be told about it. I'll tell a true story to help my point. About 15 years ago a great friend and I went on vacation to Wild Wood New Jersey. We both like going to nice places for dinner so we go to "Zabars" (Spelling?) and it is a kinda ritzy place. (There was pics of famous people/prez's eating on the walls) Well anyway, we are seated and about a 25 y/o kinda hot waitress comes to take our order, she says the usual "Can I help you?". My buddy says "Yes I would like the Sur sur sur SURF -n-Turf" and she replies "Easy for you to say" and my buddy calmly scans the area for kids and in the same tone and volume says "I have a spe spe spe speech impediment and it IS hard for me but I can pronounce Fuck you really well"..Well I was looking right at her because I knew something like that was coming and she just frowned, turned and walked to the kitchen. I looked at my buddy lol and said "Bet she won't tease a retard anymore"..and lol ..He gave me a muffled "yeah and fuck you to" and lol then asked "Now what are we going to do" I reply "Guess leave before we are kicked outta here" and then right as I said that a ritzy lady around 60 y/o at the table beside us who I thought was going to complain did, But NOT the way I thought. She spoke right up and said "If you two are asked to leave I will walk out with you, she was wrong and I never saw someone learn it faster" and lol.. Well just a few seconds later a waiter comes up to our table and says "I don't know what your waitress said but she asked me to tell you she is sorry and I will take your order. My buddy told him to tell her that her apology was accepted and she was forgiven. We eat lobster and steak and found out later that she paid for his whole meal, drinks and all. Well, my buddy is not a retard but he does stutter/slur. One of the reasons we became so close was because I also have had some speech skill problems. I was in and out of special speech classes most my childhood. These days you would never know it unless I get really really nervous or mad and the older I get the less that happens. My point is (Yeah I know about time).. A joke is a joke but watch how it's told and who it's told to because they can cut deep feelings and cause much hurt. Don't listen so much as how the words are pronounced but what is being said and the intentions/feelings behind the words. I often hear people insult and tease and JOKE about how people pronounce words in their speeches. I think these people need to show a little more compassion. People all over the world speak differently than you. Listen to what is being said and not how the words sound. If you don't, is that not being Shallow? ------Have a good one!--------

(Best Texan accent I can "Muster'up") DDDddaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmn Boy that was ah fast draw on the script....I DO SAY. And I still can't get over how good G.W did. Man It's great to feel pride. And he increased my American pride with that one for sure. ------Have a good one!--------

I thought he gave an excellent speach. ------Have a good one!--------

That is funny! Coming from the "pure as snow" northern neighbor...well, because there's snow up there . You wanna know the difference between the US and the rest of the world? The USA is more than a physical "thing" or plot of land. It's an attitude too. The attitude is strong to be sure, it is quick to act, and equally quick to accept accountability, and acknowledge its mistakes, and display its scandals to the world. What does the rest of the world do? Sit, point, and gawk at the crazy Americans. Please, keep doing that. We're not always right. But we're not always wrong either. Our failures have made our successes far more palatable to the world, the same world that just loves to sit and point, gawk and laugh, speak up in criticism and hush to silence rather than acknowledge progress and prosperity. If we do nothing, everyone bitches and moans. If we do something, everyone bitches and moans. Bring it on, we can take it, because we never stopped getting slapped in the face by a bunch of ankle biters. Criminy !!!!! That was so well said it needed to be said again.. And we have a B.I.N.G.O ------Have a good one!--------

***If you don't know what kind of picture you want, why are you getting one? I don't have any tattoos myself, basically because I haven't found a design I liked enough to have permanently on my skin. Same here and I could not agree with you more, A rushed decision can also be a fast mistake. ------Have a good one!--------

That is just wrong. i keep saying, do your research, you obviously haven't. and if you think wyubya isn't "trigger happy" time will prove this statement. Your right again. the Iraqi's are assuring the USA that if it comes under attack, "New York will seem like a picnic" This is not "assured", It is a possibility that we all need to realize, But that chance is slighter then the certainty that chance will grow if we let these people build/hide/have the weapons that could do it. i'd have to be of an opinion to blow them up myself, but it is for this reason, and this reason only my opinion is to proceed with extreme caution. These reasons are the reason we should proceed with extreme caution. But proceed we should do, Not bother due to fright is not the way. ------Have a good one!--------

I'm not going to quote and reply so much as I'll just rant a little and answer questions I think I may know and ask questions for anyone to answer with their opinion, And that is all I have is my opinion. I come up with my opinion by listening to EVERYONE, Not just to people that share the same views as mine. The U.N inspectors would not even be in Iraq right now if we did not build up the military to the point that it scared Saddam into letting inspectors in. The inspectors will eventually find weapons if they are allowed to look. And they will go to those weapons when The Military is ready for the resistance that they know they will get and be prepared for what it may lead to.(reason I got fluffed when you called G.W "Trigger Happy". He's not) Saddam was born in a country that the person with superior violence rules, He grew up with this and gained his power with this superior violence. That is why he only listens to people with superior firepower. Really it's not his fault, He's a victim of his surroundings, but we can't help that. But we might be able to fix it, at least we should try. Because this ignorance and violence is spreading over onto really true innocent people across the world. Problem is you have to fight fire with fire sometimes. I think we have to get rid of the leaders that with hold information from their people, Free the people so they can learn what they want and befriend them with education and peace (They want both). It works. And it is not all desert.Did you know that one of the biggest marsh land area in the world is in South Iraqi? I forget the Arab tribe's name that live in this marsh but they are one of the world's oldest group of people. There are people who say these "Marsh Arabs" invented "The Wheel" and the"Plow". Saddam has been killing them for years and draining there land/marsh just to kill them. I don't believe Saddam will hide ALL his WMD's in the barren desert, I think he will keep some close to get to and keep away from his enemies,he as alot of enemies, way more then George Bush. ------Have a good one!--------

he's an idiot, and he's "trigger happy" and he doesn't have a clue what repercussions his actions may cause Can you please explain your reasons for feeling this way in a way we can understand.When did he ever prematurely fire anything to say he's "trigger happy". *** on innocent civilians. he just doesn't seem to "think things through" Quote I believe you don't even think your own words through. You tell me how many innocent people are suffering due to Saddam right now, How many more will keep suffering if he stays in power, How many innocent civilians does George Bush want to kill?, He's going way out his way and spending billions on saving innocent Iraqi people, Doing more for them then their own leader, Don't think he wants to hurt/kill innocent Iraqi people, HE DON'T!!!. He wants the people hurting these people to stop and if they don't he will stop them, Atleast he's doing the best he can. Please don't just type insults, If you don't have a solution or a positive idea then you are part of the problem. ------Have a good one!--------

I'm sorry but I can't answer your poll. It's way to broad a question to answer for me. I like the way G.W is handling Iraq. I dislike his views on religion, I think the church and state should be totally separated and words of "God" be taken out of everything being not all Americans believe in god. I like his views on tapping domestic oil, No place in the world would a cleaner/healthier less destructive oil well pump(more reasons also).And oil is a world problem. But I also think not enough is being done to get away from oil use. (Bill you never asked so I never told.). I love his way of surrounding himself with intelligent people and listening to them on their expertise. I know his speaking skills have alot to be desired. I HATE his way of thinking that a girl should not have control of her own body and her unborn babies she does or does not want. How dumb is it to bring unwanted babies into a over populated world? AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON I LIKE George Walker Bush, I think he genuinely cares about The American people first, Foreign friends second and will talk straight to our enemies then destroy them if need be. The way I believe it should be.We are not the bad people. These are only a few, As of now I stand behind him as my president and I'll vote for him again, But I don't know who might prove to be a better man in the future, I'm open minded.. ------Have a good one!--------

It used to be, just 3 years ago, that an administration's records were made available to the public after an interval of 12 years. One of the first acts (pre 9/11) of Bush II was to issue an executive order cancelling this release of information. How convenient that it covered his dad's presidency! What are they hiding? Dude I don't know, What do you think they are hiding?? Whatever it is there successful at it. Another thing they are not Failing at. ***Even after the Enron fiasco and Kenneth Lay's known friendship with Bush and Cheney, this administration refuses to reveal any details of the process it used and who it consulted to develop its energy policy. What are they hiding? Not you or I or anyone knows for sure, I heard that one of the reasons alot of the energy policies/plans/reports and reviews where filed top secrete was due to releasing them would release much to valuable information of all major power plants and grids in the U.S. Being that there was reports specifically on the weakness of our major power plants/power grids/oil and gas refinery's/storage tanks and I also believe waterways and dams are to terrorist strikes and attacks, It don't surprise me. Not something I'd want my enemy to know let alone public knowledge. I also heard there are other countries that don't want information released that the U.S has no problem with releasing, Why's that? What do you think? Do you think George W. Bush and family is out to get you? Think not every dollar that he has made in his life and is spent for the rest of his life won't be counted/watched by many people under close supervision? What do you think the big cospearcey is? Seems to me you think some things up. ------Have a good one!--------

I can't prove this yet because it's so top secret there is no public proof and I heard it on "Fox News" so you filter this information your self but it makes ALOT of sense to me. This Military advisor said that there is rumor that the French have a "Day after Embargo Treaty" with Iraq, And it's worded in such a way that gives the French cheaper oil prices the day after the embargo is lifted from Iraq, And the more the French due to prevent war and lift this embargo the cheaper they get the oil. Like I said I heard it on the News so I don't know how true it is and can't prove it so don't anyone nit-pick...lol.. ------Have a good one!--------

What exactly do YOU have? The administration keeps claiming to have evidence, but no-one has yet seen any of it. Several US intelligence sources openly stated that there is no evidence linking Iraq with 9/11 or recent terrorist activities. I cut and copied this from another one of my posts, I did not feel like retyping the same thing. My answer to why no evidence yet? The military is not ready yet. I think after Desert Storm they have a good idea what will happen, Mass surrendering and mass refugees, They need to house/feed/protect all these people, and our own, possibly under chemical warfare conditions. I think they will keep building up the military and humanitarian back up, let the U.N inspectors snoop around on there own. When everything is ready give the inspectors directions on where to go/look. And be able to back them up to the end.I don't think those inspectors want to find a "Smoking Gun" right now, They could change from U.N inspector to hostage as fast as one can raise a gun. *** And what does the previous administration have to do with the failures of this one? Maybe Nixon is to blame? Your right I should not even compare the two administrations. I was just looking for a way to compare what has been done in George W. Bush's short time in administration to what the U.S has done in it's recent history and I found it to easy to compare it to the last. My bad. And Again I don't see this as "Failures" ------Have a good one!--------

I'm with Skymedic on this one, I think Buc's are going to win by a T/D, Maybe even only a kicked field goal, I think it's going to be a close one but Tampa Bay might just take it. ------Have a good one!--------

I don't think they will drop a nuke, Nor do I think they should, But the threat of it is almost as powerful at times of need and now is a good time I believe. ------Have a good one!--------

"We remain on high alert for terrorism" "sacrificing many civil rights" That is a shame and uncontrollable by this or any administration. All we have is a diversionary maneuver in Iraq: diverting the public's attention from the administration's failures. That is all you have, do not include me and many other in your public. This administration has done more for the war on terror in 2 years then the last U.S administration did in 8 years. Besides let it grow strength. ------Have a good one!--------

"Sounds like a bit of sabre rattling to try and scare the countries we may have to fight." Quote Sounds like Sabre Rattling in a high degree to me. If I wanted to scare a dictating,murdering madman and sons into thinking they are not safe hundreds of feet below ground in a concrete and steel palace also protected by weapons of mass death that is what I would say also. ------Have a good one!--------

I know from personal experiences that "AaahhhFUCK" is the worse thing you want to hear from your pilot, The expression was used more in the days of piston/radial engine jump planes but is still heard in case of doom to this day. ------Have a good one!--------

"and this morning the sky was the most beautiful shade of creamsicle pink and orange". I was there, I seen it, And I also race the sun in the morning, Different race course though, I like to try to be done feeding my horses/animals by the time the first sun ray comes over the Hill/Pine trees. Today was a poetical, beautiful start of a day. I love to watch the sun rise and set. ------Have a good one!--------

No what I HATE. I work in my garage alot, on everything from wood to metal. Working on something and need a tool in the tool chests, get to the chest and you forget what tool you needed, Have to go back to the job to the point you needed that tool and right before you get to it you remember, OH yeah a 3/8 deep!! DUh...I HATE THAT. ------Have a good one!--------
