All those people pay more in taxes than I make in 10 years, so I think that the current tax is fair. The owner of the company that I worked for made a pretty good living, nothing extravagent, but nice nonetheless. He paid somewhere near 47% in taxes, that is INSANE, why own a small business if you get taxed like that? What's the point? The overly rich don't pay as much in taxes, relatively speaking, as my boss did. When I say relative, it means that $2000 in taxes on someone making $20,000 a year is a significantly larger burden than $300,000 in taxes on someone making $1,000,000 a year. The balance being $18,000 and $700,000 respectively. It is much easier to live on $700,000 than $18,000 now isn't it? I would be glad to pay that much in taxes if I made that much money!!!!
Well maybe this was the "One in a thousand or One in Three thousand case?" How ever unlikely, it can and did happen. The polls were wrong. The libs are so desperate that they will make up crap to defend their position using charts, graphs, statistics, and people to distort the facts so they can justify that that majority is wrong or cheating. Face it, we saw the liberal crap that was trying to be pushed on us and rejected it, so deal with it, and move on.

I can type for hours as to why Bush had to spend billions to get the military out of the sad shape it was in after the Clinton raping. Does 35% combat readiness mean anything to you? We were at 90%+ in 1992 even after a major conflict, after the Clinton Administration got done we were at 35% by 1998, I KNOW, I was there... I know many, many pilots and soldiers, and know for a fact that they would not intentionally target civilians, suggesting so is a further sign of your ignorance of reality. Go tell your "argument" to those parents of those children that had wires run through clothing to trip bombs. Convince them why islamic radicals killed their children in cold blood, I don't think they really care... Terrorists ARE BAD, I DON'T care what they want or who they are, IRA, Hamas, Hezbolah, etc. They should be stopped or shown a better way to negotiate. My argument may be fatally flawed, but yours is just plain fatal. You THINK you know, but it's all politics, so does having a "manifesto" still make it right to target UNARMED civilians? Does "understanding" why they do it make killing children accepatble? What if we do decide to meet their demands? Will they stop? History says NO. They don't even treat their own people well, what make you think they want us be be well? I refuse to listen to their demands, why should I? I really don't care, honestly, until they stop killing innocent people. Get out of Saudi Arabia? Why, so they can take it over too? What makes you think they will stop there? How about evicting the Jews? Heck why not, they WERE there before Islam kicked them out, but what the heck that's what they want. Their perverted form of religion commissions them to eliminate the infidels. So what make you believe they will stop? They got what they wanted. They won't stop until all women are wearing burkas. I once had a talk with an ethnic Egyptian, you want to know what he called the muslin "call to prayer?" He called it the sound of an occupied country. Wake up, this IS a fight for survival for "infidels." I never said killing was OK. Killing in defense is justified, again, we don't have soldiers getting on buses and blowing people up, that is not a policy of the US, but radical islamists, it is, you can't argue that.. Death make me sad. Exactly when have "those people" had their asses handed to them? YOU are mistaken. The only ones I can think of are the British in 1776 and 1812. The US in Vietnam because of politics. Sodamn Insane in 1991, the French capitiluation in 1939, the impotent League of Nations when Hitler built back hi military and invaded Austria. Oh, which was an "international" (Like the UN) consensus that let him do it. That's just off the top of my head... Humm.... Lets see, recent (last 100 years) history dictates that the US has been on the correct side of history most of the time. How funny, we haven't REALLY had our asses handed to us have we? I think we have handed a few out. BTW, you are the one that brought up history, now you are flip flopping saying history was wrong.(Spouting throught history.., etc..) YES RADICAL ISLAM is to blame, who the hell is attacking us, I don't see any Buddists, Hindus, Harry Krishnas, etc. acting like primitive savages and blowing up buildings with children in them. You clearly are out of touch with reality, ideally you MAY have a point, but this is reality, and in this plane of existance, people do bad things and make others die or suffer. Would you leave town if it was being attacked? I guarentee I would, get the heck out of the area, don't stay there, WTF? I love my family, I want to protect them, including getting the hell out of a war zone... Propose solutions, not problems, you and others like you attack the President, pointing to problems without offering any real solutions. You and I are not in the know about everything going on, no matter how "well read" you are. All I see with Kerry is indeciviness, he has no real substance, he changes his ideas constantly. I don't trust him, he condones forging documents, etc... I don't like al
He was on the advisory commitee for intel. So yes, he needed to be there.
Actaully the military couldn't get enough armor because of Clinton era raping of the military budget, and we were playing catch-up with supplies and material. The military now is getting the material needed after congress allotted more funds, something which you beloved Kerry voted against. So yes, he is weak. He has been on the wrong side on history for many years.
Actaully yes they do hate freedom and democracy, these teaching are in direct conflict with their beliefs, look at how they treat their own women and children. If the people have a voice, the imams, etc have no power because they want to oppress, and people don't want to be opressed. So in your views, we should have let Saddam keep Kuwait, a soveriegn country and keep brutalizing Iraqis? So we should leave the 2nd largest proven oil reserve in the hands of a brutal dictator, he has already proven he can't be trusted, 19 UN resolutions have said so. Has has been a major agressor in the region of nearly 30 years, what whould he have been like if would have kept Kuwait? Wait until #20, #21, #22? What was your solution, Mr. Well Read? The reason there were no uprisings is because the people were terrifed, he ruled with an iron fist. Are you blind or deaf? America funded the end to Soviet Russia, that is why we were "meddling" in the Middle East, READ YOUR HISTORY... We helped Osama bin Whacko, then he gets mad at us for "occupying" Saudia Arabia and declares war(jihad) on the US in the EARLY 1990's. BTW, how do you know if terrorist were "flooding" into Iraq? Were you there? If not, STFU. YOU have no facts about terrorists, or WMD in Iraq. You only have what has been fed to you. We could win this war quite easily, we could really mop them up, but then we would be unpopular for being too brutal, so what are we supposed to do? It's easy to critize, but hard to find a solution isn't it?
I'm still scratchin my head about Bush getting money for invading Iraq.. WTF, you have a tinhat view, it's all about oil, money, goats, whatever with you lefties. You say I have an altered POV? Let's see, he conspired with Bin Whacko to MURDER 2800 civilians, ummm invade Afghanistan, Invade Iraq, ummm yeah, that the ticket... How does he profit? I know you say Haliburton, or whatever. Can you name a service company that has the resources and ability to do what Haliburton can do? I didn't think so... If not, start one up and you can have a conspiracy all your own.
I'm sure US soldiers went out of their way to shoot children and chidren. I was referring to the deliberate targeting of innocent civilians. Plus, you stated that the WORLD was a more dangerous place.. You, like most lefties (Michael Moore), distort and take out of context what is really being said or done. The unfortunate truth about war is that people die. Those who don't have the sense to get out of the way, or those caught up in the moment have a tendency to get killed, and it breaks my heart. The ones left might have a better chance than under the rule of Saddam.
You have read their manifestos, oooo, you are sooooo more well read than I, I bow to you... I guess a manifesto makes it OK to target and kill innocent civilians? Well heck that explains it all.. You can read all their manifestos all you want, they are cowards. If they want to fight, come out and do it. We liberted ourselves in 1776 with squirrel guns against the biggest army of that time period. Want to talk about beliefs, in that time period it wasn't all that uncommon for thousnds to die in a single battle. Imagine facing a line of soldiers with muskets aimed at you, that's balls boy, balls... IF they really want change, stop targeting civilians, treat their people well, then the west MIGHT open a dialogue. Bin Whacko basically ruined whatever little bit of sentiment he had when he instigated 9/11. It's not strife that has driven to their homicide bombing, it's their religion or perverted version of it.
You ask if I had been there you would be the same, that's a hypothetical question,
The facts are facts, Kerry is weak on defense, period, he missed over 70% of the intel. briefings. So how can he run the country ignorant, like you? There are people in this world that hate our way of life. Have you forgotten 9/11/2001? The bombings of the Cole, the first Trade Center attack? We are at war with an enemy that has no real country, but a collection of beliefs. Kerry has no real firm beliefs, and doesn't stand for anything, accept directly against Bush. Kerry has no substance, no CORE values. Example, Kerry stated that he would realign troops overseas, possibly moving some FROM S. Korea. This interview was on Aug. 1. Aug 7, Bush stated his policy of realigning troops, which included moving troops from S. Korea. Kerry attacked Bush basically saying that it was stupid to move troops from S. Korea. There is an example of flip-flopping that Kerry is infamous for. He denounced a policy that a few days before BUSH announced it, he was for. Kerry is an idiot, anybody that votes for him is too. BTW Bush has not made the world any more dangerous than the it already was. I'm sure Bush had something to do with 300+ CHILDREN killed in Beslan, riiiiight.... It is idiots like you that do not understand or comprehend what we are against, these islamic terrorists kill innocent children, and would jump at the chance to kill you and your children too. Bush in this case is the lesser of all evils combined. I would rather have terrorists attacking our TRAINED warriors than our children in schools, hadn't you? I was one of those warriors, for 9 years my job was protecting idiots like you from yourselves so you could slander and spew you rhetoric outta you ass like you claim someone else does. I think for myself, not let some elitist socialist make a "documentary" and claim it's the holy grail of truth. The ONLY way to win the "War on Terror" is to KILL THEM before they kill you, that is all they understand. Are you a f**ing idiot? THEY BLOW THEMSELVES UP! I mean WTF are you thinking? Are you not informed, have ever talked with one of these whackos? Do you understand? They would kill Michael Moore, you, your children, you parents, everybody you know and love rather than look at you. You can't "deal" with them, they only understand one way, their way, or you die, period, end of story.
Look at voting records for senators. Attendance records for commitees, and other "hard fact" information. All this is avaliable directly through the government. If you rely on the media or campaign disinformation, the truth will likely be somewhere in the middle of both sides. Remeber this is an election often used car salesmen like people run the show, so buyer beware.
You are an idiot. Lefty wacko socialist. What is Kerry's voting record? you can't find it because he hasn't been there to vote in 19 years. Kerry is a scum sucking liar, period, end of story. He has NO stand on any issue, he changes his mind constantly can't seem to decide where he stands. Kerry has no plan for defense, no plan for taxes, and no foreign policy. I suppose he will get his butler to make peanut butter & jelly sandwiches. He is a traitor, liar, socialist, elitist, and a total moron. You are a moron if you think the US will be a better place with him as it's leader.
Reminds of Orwells 1984. Using the media to rewrite the truth/ history. We techies know about the truth, the ruling powers know too. But using lies and lots of money, the truth gets raped.
If I owned a theater, cell phones would be banned. I see Dunderheads texting and whatever all during the movie I PAID to watch> I don't want to hear their stupid giggling during the movie. It's simple consideration, if you don't want to watch, then don't buy a ticket and bring your phone to distract me.
M$ licensing states that you have to buy a license for EVERY computer on campus, including ones with Linux on them. Their reasoning, they have the capability to have windoze loaded on them.. So that is how they keep their monoploy going ahead.
I (nor my family) haven't stepped a foot in a Best Buy in over 2 years, before that is was over 3 years. I refuse to do business with them based on the 2 whole times I have entered their store.
Knowing the right people will get you a job, that's about it. I have been underemployed for 3 years now, I can't seem to get the right contacts to get a good job. What I call "cold applying" doesn't work. Send a resume, fill out an app. is useless if you don't know somebody. Period end of story. You can be totally incompetent, as long as you know the right person, whammo, you gotta a job....
The wheels actually adjust to stay inline with the runway, the oddest thing you heve ever seen. The B-52 will look like it's landing somewhat sideways but the wheels will be straight with runway. I know because I was stationed at Carswell AFB, Texas in the early 90's, saw MANY land and takeoff.
Wrong answer...
You are right Premiere and the others you are using are considered toys, so is M$ windoze... Serious people do use Linux, but they write their own programs to do it. Example #1, Pixar, they use Linux clusters with custom software. So therefore, you wrong, but also right M$ windoze is a toy OS, period, end of story...
What does Bush have to with amublance rides?? Have you ever thought that maybe those people live alone or were not able to get to the hospital any other way? I gues you are the type to blame Bush for everything. "Oh darn I got my penis caught in my zipper again, curse Bush!!!, I don't know how but it has to be his fault..."
Why not install cameras, microphones, blood test machines, IQ test equipment, anger management help software, oh ya, shove a leash up my ass while you at it. I mean come on, all this equipment would only add a couple of 10,000 to each vehicle, I mean gosh, aren't we all rich crooked politicians....
1. India would NOT drive the US out.
2. The 6 billion you refer to is lining the pockets of the top 1% of US citizens.
3. CEOS are rewarded greatly for cutting costs and improving the "bottom line", labor=cost plain and simple. Greed it rewarded, instead of doing what is right, look at Enron, WorldCom, etc...
4. No matter how you look at it, it's bad for the US.
fscking M$ bribing, that's the only defense against open source they have.
