It's time to build some tin-foil hats for your cars people.
That, or get some kind of cool preditor laser thing that will somehow find the camera and shine it directly into the lens causing it to go "blind" for the brief period that you are in it.
Why does everyone thing Ron Paul can actually do half the stuff he's promised to do, if elected.
Every 4 years, we hear "lower taxes" and all kinds of other garbage... He's no different from the rest. If nobody else has been able to said things in the past, what makes him more able to "abolish federal income tax".
I really want to know, because as a voter, it matters to me. Has he outlined a specific plan and legislation he will propose if he is elected? If he did that, and it didn't seem too insane, I might vote for him, though I hardly think that legislation like that will ever make it into the books.
It's the subliminal messages in the game that tell you to continue to play:)
Why don't they make a guitar hero with a real guitar.. and you actually have to match the pitch.. That would be cool, and teach you how to play all at once.. But then again the nerds who play Guitar Hero wouldn't want to get a sore finger...
Likewise, they wouldn't want to have any real talent:)
Geez, you love my country more because you are a veteran? I can't even begin to tell you how disappointed I am in your attitude. You don't have to EVER BE A VETERAN, to be a FANTASTIC AMERICAN!!! My family honors veterans, always will, but every time I hear their opinions mean more, they sacrificed more, they did this and that more.... It is complete hogwash. Americans are Americans, there is no special class of Americans called "veterans". They served, they served well, some like my father gave their all when serving, but not one single veteran is more important than a new born American 3 seconds old in a maternity ward somewhere right this second. Stopping wanting to be owed something your whole life because you are a veteran, you are not a welfare ward of the State. Once you have served, you are just like the rest of America. Work and earn a living, remember those who have served, be grateful, and stop acting like your service makes you a different class of American. Geez!!! Nobody, repeat, NOBODY loves this country more than me. Someone may love it just as much, but NOBODY loves it more than me. Period. As far as being "owed" my whole life... I'm receiving a check from the VA every month for the rest of my life for being a veteran. That check is 100% tax free.
I never once said the iraqi war was to protect freedom.
Care to re-read what I wrote? I can translate it into spanish if you would prefer. And redneck? Where's the redneck assumption coming from? Did I mention NASCAR anywhere in this post?
I am also not a republican. I'm more of an Independant voter, who swings more towards Democrats if there aren't any good Independent candidates that I believe in.
Even the haters and the "anti military/war/whateverhippyflavoryouarethisweekpetapeople" are welcome, without the thank you. most of us served because we feel it's the right thing to do, which it really is:)
I STRONGLY believe in something the Germans currently do, where (and I may be wrong about the specifics) once you're like 18 you must do a couple years in either the military OR the civil service. Manditory. That would definitely build some national pride and respect.
Conscription==Slavery. I cannot see why people have a problem understanding this.
Time and again arguments like "national pride", "respect"(WTF?), "useful skills" and of course "manhood"(LOL), are brought forward to justify forcing people to labor for the state against their will. I mean sure, if you want to serve in the military, then go right ahead. And if you feel it's done you and your country a lot of good, all the better. But your positive experience is not guaranteed to be universal.
Bottom line, you are forcing people, often under pain of death, to do work they will not be fairly paid to do, if they are paid at all. If that is not slavery, I don't know what is.
Even in wartime, it's not excusable. Why can't people accept the fact that if your army is too weak because not enough people joined, then it's basically a sign that not enough people in your country thought it was worth fighting for. I mean, aren't people entitled to say; "I don't consider this country to be worth fighting for". Isn't that a legitimate viewpoint?
Geermany is one of the worst examples of modern conscription. A perennially peacetime nation that nonetheless forces, under duress, millions of people to do its bidding in one way or the other, under the banner defending the nation. What a joke. Maybe they should consider paying their volunteers more, instead of going for the cheaper option.
If my country ever implements conscription, I'll leave it. I'll leave it because I'll know that I'll no longer be free there. I'll just be a feudal vassal or serf, who can be forced into work at any time. When that happens, my country won't be worth fighting for anymore.
You think people remember the oppressed and chain ganged conscripts on veterans day? No. They're something people would like to forget. It's mostly the volunteer corps who are paraded and celebrated. The conscripts who survived were given a pittance and what was left of their stolen lives and were told to be on their way. You are paid in the civil service as well as in the military. It is not at all like slavery.
I can tell you're one of those hippy assholes who would protest anything that you dont agree with only to try and save your ass from having to defend the freedom you crave so much.
Just remember, Freedom isn't free. The lives of our fore-fathers were given for us today, and we should continue to defend this nation until we are unable to do so.
If it is SO bad here in America, why don't you swim your ass over to Cuba for a few weeks, and when(if) you return, let me know how you feel. I seriously doubt you would last 5 min's over there.
I didn't have any limbs shot off. Nor did I EVER claim that you had to have an injury to respect the people who fight so you don't have to. I don't believe in the war with Iraq, however, I did what I believe was the right thing to do for my country.
When the next draft comes around, how many of you will run to canada and claim you're a Consienance Objector (sp?). How many of you will encourage your children, if they're of age, to go fight for this country?
Hell, how many of you have used our resources such as financial aid? It would be nice to give back by defending your nations freedoms. I STRONGLY believe in something the Germans currently do, where (and I may be wrong about the specifics) once you're like 18 you must do a couple years in either the military OR the civil service. Manditory. That would definitely build some national pride and respect.
The point is without our veterans, we would all be speaking German right now. Veterans day is more than just WWI/II Iraq,Nam,Etc. It a rememberence of every war that we, as Americans, have fought so that our way of life - our freedoms (albeit a lot more limited now that GW is at the 'throne') - and our ability to prosper.
In closing, let me recite to you all the Sailors Creed. Think about the meaning of each and every portion and honestly look inside yourself to see if they mean nothing to you, if you're an American:
I am a United States Sailor. I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America and I will obey the orders of those appointed over me. I represent the fighting spirit of the Navy and those who have gone before me to defend freedom and democracy around the world. I proudly serve my country's Navy combat team with Honor, Courage and Commitment. I am committed to excellence and the fair treatment of all.
Google is an AMERICAN company, founded in America.
We celebrate American holidays.
If an EU company decides to built a massive search giant and put their nations holidays into cool little logo's, more power to them. Why bitch and moan about an American company not being respectful to the people we were at war with. Hell I'm surprised germany, vietnam, and japan aren't still pissed that we have based and make them take english as a manditory subject! That's more offensive than a fucking logo FFS.
Flame me all you want on this one, but I find the demands for acknowledging veterans day are both quite US centric and utterly unsensitive to the rest of the world.
What if I would DEMAND that Google also include the Dutch "Queen's day" for the rest of the world to see? That wouldn't make sense at all. But at least it's not as insensitive as rubbing salt into the wounds of Iraqi or Afghan or Vietnamese or Japanese people who visit Google (and the list will keep growing for a while). I'm sure those people will be thrilled to know that the killers of their lost family are being honored on this special day. If you actually check, google is only putting this out on the US version of the site, ie www.google.com a quick look at www.google.co.uk will clearly show the helmets are not there.
Try doing some research before making stupid demands to the search engine gods.
I am a recent United States Navy Disabled Veteran, I was very happy to see this little design.
Most people think veterans day is just "another day", but to the people serving in the military, and fighting for your rights, it means a lot. Each and every time I see anything that honors veterans, it really makes my day.
Shit, I cry during the National Anthem and the Pledge because, as a former military member, those words really do mean a lot more to me.
To me, Wikipedia is a wonderful resource. Although not all articles are 100% accurate, they strive to be, and have a very good system of checks and balances in place.
It's also useful when you're doing your own independent research, and/or just want to search random words and follow wiki links when you're bored.
Who knows, you might actually learn something:)
I try to read at least 1 new wiki a day in an attempt to learn at LEAST 1 new thing a day.

The parent poster was talking about general taxation, not specifically wisconsin.
I was reminding the parent poster that not all places have a state tax.
But the answer is much, much simpler.
42.
I did not post the "sense of humor" thing, but I do agree. It's a joke. it's funny. laugh.
I'm not sure if you're aware.. but not all states have state tax. Texas, florida, and a handful of others, and we do not want or need a state tax.
The tax collector! Paya your taxes toa playa my newa system. Itsa the only waya we will bea good friends for lifea no?

This is bullshit.
I'm tired of this Microsoft monopoly crap. Why the hell doesn't anyone stop this crap from happening.
We (as a nation) still buy "Made in China" crap and help support their economy.
I thought we (the US) weren't friends with "Commies."
sigh.
And your tax dollars are paying for it.
Thanks tax dollars!
