You know even terrorists freedom fighters have won the Nobel Peace prize right? You call Manning a 'freedom Fighter'? The guy is a traitor who broke a trust. If anything, he's a snivelling little coward. That's being polite. Chuck

That's your good right. Personally I think it's extremely disrespectful to let your officials break the laws of a country that's supposed to be your friend. And to ad insult to injury, the American approach on narcotics can only be described as a giant failure, so I don't think American cowboys meddling in the Dutch approach which is moderately successful or at least a lot better than the American approach, is beneficial to us. Furthermore: about 0,08% of our population is in prison, and since this number is dropping we're closing prisons ATM. You might want to look at American statistics, and it becomes pretty clear that the very idea that the US can help us with combating crime is laughable. We're running out of criminals as we speak. I haven't seen proof on your part that our law enforcement people are in your country 'illegally'. So far, it's just been hear-say. Chuck

In regard to the tobacco company lawsuits, wasn't it shown that the tobacco companies 'purposely' added chemicals to their cigarettes to get people addicted to their products? With beer, alchohol is always a part of the product and not 'purposely' introduced into the finished product with the intent of getting folks addicted to beer. This could get real interesting! Chuck

Too damned bad for the little traitor! It's the old story... If, you're gonna dance, ya' gotta pay the fiddler! Chuck But he's been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize! He must be a jolly good fellow. You gotta be joking!? I hadn't heard that one. Chuck

The vid was a news item from Dutch national television I think, but it was even confirmed by the government. So there's no doubt about it that American officials were pissing all over Dutch sovereignty and were breaking Dutch laws on Dutch soil. But would you be fine with it and wouldn't want to know about it? Well, Gravitymastr beat me to it but I am thinking along the same lines that he is. Chuck

Why is that? Just curious. For about the same reasons that Blacks and other races, religions or cultures are discriminated against... ignorance. Chuck

Would you like to now it if Dutch police officers were meddling in American law enforcement? Was this information in your newspapers or other media? Was this just hearsay, rumors? To be honest, it wouldn't surprise me to learn other law enforcement agencies are here. As secure as our borders are, anyone can just walk-in. Chuck

Tasers are cool! Chuck

most people just assume whatever symbol they have on them means what the shop/artist says it does, they dont do any outside research on their own. The tattoo artist could have a lot of fun! Might not be too safe for the bearer of the tattoo. Chuck

Full story: K2 Radio Who is responsible for alcoholism? 1) The people who drink the beer. 2) The companies which make the beer. 3) The stores that sell the beer. I voted: The people who drink the beer. Sadly. Native American Reserves have a high rate of alcholism. The lack of jobs and not feeling accepted outside the reserve and the depression that goes with it, they turn to booze. They have a choice to drink or not to drink. They choose to drink. To me, this is not the fault of beer producers or the stores selling beer. The thing here is, people can sue anyone for any reason and the Native people have chosen to sue beer producers. To me, folks who throw-out the old line about European settlers stealing Native lands doesn't hold water in this time. Anyone really feeling guilty about it are free to go to Europe and live there if, that salves their conscience. I was not there at the time and don't harbor any guilt feelings about it. Native people need the same opportunities off the reserve that everyone else enjoys. They are still discriminated against and are last to be employed. Unless, it involves 'high steel'. Let them sue the beer producers and we'll just see how it goes. Chuck

You raised a qustion that I've had for a long time. Do people who get Japanese characters tattooed on their bodies really know what they mean? Chuck

None, unless of course said info concerns others. For example, thanks to wikileaks we now know American DEA cowboys seem to think that their jurisdiction extends to the Netherlands. Or in other words, Americans are pissing all over the sovereignty of our country. That's good to know I think, and that's one of the reasons I don't really mind the precious dirty secrets of the US are now all over the interwebz. Have you ever stopped to think, the DEA might just be after some big dope dealer who fled to your country and that the DEA may have permission to be there? They could also be helping your law enforcement people with something. You haven't really supplied a whole bunch of information about this. As for our secrets being all over the interwebz, I don't like it! How would you like knowing your country's secrets were all over the interwebs? Chuck

They already do! "Look at all the cool stuff we can do! All YOU have to do is pay your taxes....and then pay some more taxes. Oh, did I mention taxes? We'll have pie in the sky!" ...and FREE Bubble-up? Chuck

Good! Those suckers can kick! I got the scars to prove it! It's good work... if you can get it. Chuck Yup...... That wuz me running past you headed for the freakin' fence. Chuck

Good! Those suckers can kick! I got the scars to prove it! It's good work... if you can get it. Chuck

actually that's where you are 100% wrong. I'm a staunch atheist and I'm here to tell you if when i die I am actually wrong. then I would expect a loving care GOD of the so called chistian understanding, to accept me with open arms. Because I live a life that i consider to be moral and just. I would not expect, your loving and caring GOD to deny me simply be cause I didn't bow down and suffer at an effigy of him or any of he followers. Hah... You impeached your own statement. Brilliant. You display a knowledge that belies your atheism. Everyone needs a plan "B". LOL...... Guess so. A professed "atheist", but a closet "believer". That's gotta be a published first, even on SC. Are you saying you're a doubting Thomas? The one thing I have a problem with is 'tithing'. You hear these preachers and televangelists begging for money. You give and you'll be rich! In the end, that preacher/ televangelist is driving a Rolls Royce and the donaters are on food stamps. Pat Robertson is always having stories on his show how some down and outer found a dollar and donated it to some church and BINGO! Almost over night, he's in the chips living the high life'. It's all legal and tax free! What a crock! The government really needs to tap into this. Chuck Mr. Chuck..... Me? A Doubting Thomas? Weeeelllllll.......! Since the original " Doubting Thomas" was an Apostle, and looked Jesus in the face, I'd say that's not so bad a thing to be called. Thx. BTW...... From another thread... By "rassling" cattle, do you mean to say you have been a Rodeo participant/contestant? I certainly did not mean my comment negatively. Bad shot at humor. I've never entered a rodeo as a contestant but sometimes, someone will throw a bad loop, while working calves in the pens and only catch one leg. When I'd go to flank the calf, it would 'slip' the loop on the one leg and the rodeo is ON! Hell! Maybe I should've gon 'pro'. Chuck

Some times size IS important ..... the same size thing may make it awkward for the visually impaired What about those with small hands? Chuck

Don't even get me started! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwRGjuCfCH0 Having been raised Catholic, I firmly believe in God. I don't believe in 'organized' churches. I don't believe that by giving my hard-earned money to some con artist preacher is going to reserve me a place in heaven. I can give you a whole bunch of reasons why I believe in God but I won't waste the band-width. Chuck

Go Daddy.com... 'Drink Dr. Pepper... and the big corporaions could pay big bucks for the ad space. A picture of a Clydesdale would be much more and that could help the national debt! You're brilliant! Chuck

We added a little splash of red and blue and now, the background color is a tannish color! As for their size... does it matter? Chuck

Nope. Not just you at all. I expect his shrink will blame it all on his Momma didn't love him enough. He wasn't 'potty trained' properly. Maybe, he didn't make good poo-poo but he sure stirred-up a lotta shit! Chuck

So...I assume that Bob Wills got paid for the dancin' music? You bet! Like Waylon said; "When you're down in Texas, Bob Wills is still the king!" Chuck

I can always depend on Chuck to hit the nail on the head! My suggestion for replacement: "What? Me worry?" Doesn't do you any good and just gives you wrnkles on you face. Chuck

Who really reads what is on our money anyhow? The only thing people 'read' on a bill is the amount that piece of paper is supposedly worth. Some people just looking for something else to bitch about. As long as it 'spends' I don't care. They could print it like Monopoly money with only the amount printed on it and someone, somewhere would have a problem with it. Chuck
