  1. Re: Yeah I know, I'm using one on Logitech Gives A Mouse A Laser · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Do you know why they don't make very many lefthanded mice? It's because left handed people DO NOT BUY THEM. If they did then Logitech would sell them, but they keep ending up with a lot of unsold lefthanded mice.

    It's a strict business decission, so blame the other lefties who use righthanded mice. ;->

    Abortion: The GOP never really tries. If they did they would try harder. I also find it funny that the killing of thousands in Iraq pisses off some on the left, yet the killing of millions of kids doesn't.

    Economic Policy: Please name the major economic policy bills that Kerry has submitted to the Senate.

    Foreign Policy: Kerry has said the he would have went into Iraq too.

    Tax Breaks: The current tax bill before the House that brings the USA in line with WTO rules shows you are wrong. BOTH sides have put in tax breaks for very specific industries.

    Chicken Hawks: Bosnia?

    What about the smearing of Swift Boat Vets?

    The poor pay more than 17% of the taxes. While it may be true that they only pay 17% of INCOME taxes the poor pay property tax, sales tax, gas tax, phone taxes and a host of other taxes.

    It is playing word games when you say that the top 1/4 pay 73% of all taxes.

    Perhaps you should look at they way things work in the House and Senate. Pay extra attention to rules of the Senate and how 60 is a magic number in the Senate.

    I suggest you look up the tax bill that is working is way thru congress, you know the bill that will bring our tax code into line with the WTO. If you do this you will find billions of tax breaks for special interests and corps placed in by BOTH SIDES.

    Quite believeing what others tell you and do some research yourself.

    Don't forget Clinton and Bosnia.
    Don't forget Clinton and the DMCA.
    Don't forget Clinton and some of the tax breaks passed during his time in office.

    Both sides do it and to blame only one shows that you are not willing to analyse the facts for yourself.

    [9:1] An ultimatum is herein issued from GOD and His messenger to the idol worshipers who enter into a treaty with you.
    [9:2] Therefore, roam the earth freely for four months, and know that you cannot escape from GOD, and that GOD humiliates the disbelievers.
    [9:3] A proclamation is herein issued from GOD and His messenger to all the people on the great day of pilgrimage, that GOD has disowned the idol worshipers, and so did His messenger. Thus, if you repent, it would be better for you. But if you turn away, then know that you can never escape from GOD. Promise those who disbelieve a painful retribution.
    [9:4] If the idol worshipers sign a peace treaty with you, and do not violate it, nor band together with others against you, you shall fulfill your treaty with them until the expiration date. GOD loves the righteous.
    [9:5] Once the Sacred Months are past, (and they refuse to make peace) you may kill the idol worshipers when you encounter them, punish them, and resist every move they make. If they repent and observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), you shall let them go. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
    [9:6] If one of the idol worshipers sought safe passage with you, you shall grant him safe passage, so that he can hear the word of GOD, then send him back to his place of security. That is because they are people who do not know.
    [9:7] How can the idol worshipers demand any pledge from GOD and from His messenger? Exempted are those who have signed a peace treaty with you at the Sacred Masjid. If they honor and uphold such a treaty, you shall uphold it as well. GOD loves the righteous.
    [9:8] How can they (demand a pledge) when they never observed any rights of kinship between you and them, nor any covenant, if they ever had a chance to prevail. They pacified you with lip service, while their hearts were in opposition, and most of them are wicked.
    [9:9] They traded away GOD's revelations for a cheap price. Consequently, they repulsed the people from His path. Miserable indeed is what they did!
    [9:10] They never observe any rights of kinship towards any believer, nor do they uphold their covenants; these are the real transgressors.
