Try reading the Bible sometime; some of the shit in there will blow your mind.
But, I liked the incest parts! Come on, how many religions actually call men who knock up their own daughters "righteous"? That's why there is so much incest in redneck parts of the U.S. They aren't simply horny perverts. They are following the dictates of their religion!
Yeah, I really started to lose respect for Bush when he signed Don't Ask Don't Tell and the Defense of Marriage Act into law. Thankfully we now have a Democrat in office and Democrats would never sign such hateful legislation.
Actually, since you apparently have either a case of amnesia or willful ignorance, Clinton signed Don't Ask Don't Tell and the Defense of Marriage Act basically because that is the best he could get with Newty and the rest of the Repugs who were hell-bent on their Contract on America.
Prohibition did a pretty good job of putting breweries out of business. It also killed ethanol as a practical fuel for automobiles.
"barring any seriously crazy legislation" is, I think, the part you missed. Basically, unless the government actually makes competition illegal, the private sector will find ways to circumvent public organizations to make money.
And in what way was the Vietnam war in any way profitable for anybody? There was no money to be made on that war.
Are you fucking kidding me??? (1) Weapons contracts [hello, Monsanto!], (2) Cold-War contracts, (3) hell, even Pres. Johnson made assloads of money from airline contracts to send soldiers to Vietnam. That's right, boys and girls. Your child's life is worth less than a plane ticket to these scum. You are, as Henry Kissinger called you, a bunch of "useless eaters" to them.
Unless you are a doctor and can claim to have more than "limited knowledge", I hereby nominate you for a "Hypocrite of the Year" award.
Um, perhaps you missed the whole thing about teachers and principals threatening parents to have their children taken away if they don't drug them? They are not doctors. A real doctor is needed to determine if there is a valid case of ADHD. But, I guess since I'm not a doctor, I should just trust whatever a teacher says?
Please, don't have children. And please kill yourself. The world will be a better place without you in it.
The "teachers" (and I will put quotes around the name because they were nothing more than armchair social workers) were hell-bent on getting him on ADHD. Not a single one of them was a medical doctor.
This is one of the things that really pisses me off. Why can't we sue them for practicing medicine without a license? They aren't doctors, but they are attempting to force medical prescriptions on children based on their limited knowledge.
I'm sorry about your child, but it is not an either-or situation. ADHD does exist. It is not something that is made up. *However*, it is vastly over-diagnosed. If I had been born 10-20 years later than I was, *I* would have been diagnosed as having ADHD even though there is nothing wrong with me. One tragedy is that other problems, such as depression, are misdiagnosed as ADHD since it is such a hot topic. There are so many problems that are not properly dealt with because of politics, "hot topics", and whatever other nonsense is masquerading as "truth" today.
Yes, your child may have ADHD, but don't overlook the possibility that there is something else going on.
No, he's not "not bad" or "average", he's downright shitty. Maybe not quite as abysmally shitty as Bush, but the improvement is so slight that it's pretty much unnoticeable. As I said before, his response to the oil spill disaster has been every bit as ineffective as Bush's response to Katrina. And he hasn't done anything to end the stupid and unproductive wars, and in fact has added more troops. I really fail to see how this guy is substantially different from Bush at all. At least he doesn't talk like a moron, but speeches don't equal results.
Arg. Well, maybe you're right. I'd like to have a little bit of optimism. But, I find that draining away daily.
I have serious doubts this country is going to survive, regardless of who wins the next election. It's tearing itself to pieces.
Well, I just think Palin would tear it to pieces faster. But, we are rapidly entering the kind of mentality that got us into the original Civil War. The main difference is that the battle lines are not as strictly drawn on state lines.
A chimpanzee could do just as effective a job as President as him
Actually, we already tried that. George W Bush did a much worse job than Obama is doing.
I think the real problem is that, after eight ruinous years of Bush, people were looking for a savior. What we got was an everyday politician. Obama is not great, but he's not bad either. I would prefer to have a great president, but I'll settle for average over abysmally shitty any day.
What's really scary, however, is that there's a very good chance that Palin WILL be elected President either in 2012 or 2016.
If that happens, this country will not survive. I mean that quite literally. A Palin presidency would actually make us long for the days of George W Bush.
The Japanese have copied the Chinese characters but they are not changing Chinese, just the subset (the characters) they copied. Nobody is suggesting China should adept them, if this would even be possible.
Except when they, you know, invaded China and tried to force Chinese to use Japanese names. But, hey, keep up with your Japanese Holocaust denial. I'm sure the rest of the world won't consider you a bunch of backwards, racist, arrogant pricks!

Quite true, but many racists in America use "Chinese" to mean "any o' them thar yellar people."
So, basically we need a beowulf cluster of killer penguins?

Unfortunately, there is no National Shuriken Association.
Hey, my dad was killed by a shuriken thrown at over 600 mph, you insensitive clod!

How soon we forget/spin!
Anyone who obsesses over another person's posting history seriously needs to shoot himself in the head.

No, that was the Martians.

Oh, I forgot: "Think of the children"
Yes, your child may have ADHD, but don't overlook the possibility that there is something else going on.
And to think, if they simply didn't do this bullshit, they could have afforded to keep people on (including my sister who now works elsewhere).
Ahmed get teh bmb rdy k? Allah FTW!
The government would probably use the excuse that they need to be able to access text messages like this for an investigation.
But, in Soviet Russia, polygraph examiner beats YOU!
You've obviously never been in the custody of the NSA before.
Besides, they got all their interrogation and research tactics from the Grays, anyway. I know this since the voices in my head has telled me so.

Oh, Yeah! That's just what I'd expect some Islamo-fascist, Maoist, Communist, Nazi, child-raping philatelist to say! ^_^

For example, if someone says 2 + 2 = 4, they would be correct. But, by your "logic", if they said "2 + 2 = 4, moron!" they would be wrong.
Please, go die in a fire. You fail at logic and you fail at life.
Gee, I didn't realize that they had hired Pat Robertson!
yes
How about "weighs the same as a duck?"
