1. Held Bp responsible for the spill as opposed to APOLOGIZING to them.
The tv might say they are being held responsible but I do not see it happening in real life... 2. Increased funding for firemen and police and helped save jobs. Most of the increases were just temporary, and they blew through that money fast... 3. Rate of job LOSS in the US has greatly decreased. Job loss will decrease when there are no more jobs to lose, it is like everyone is working on a skeleton crew right now... 4. Launched investigatin of Blue Cross after extreme price hikes. I believe that was the Attorney General who did that... 5. Investigated BP after the oil spill. Another Attorney General job... 8. Tax cuts to 95 percent of working americans. It is easy to say this, when a person goes from paying taxes from a good job to paying taxes because they are on welfare then it does look like a tax cut on paper... 9. Fraud enforcement act to investigate fraud in home lending. Attorney General job... 11. Good riddance to Osama Bin Laden. This was done fast and no proof...some thing still seems shady to me about the whole deal... 14. lower taxes than EVER in my lifetime What taxes exactly got lowered? All the taxes I paid in all look the same from the years before. State taxes are up even along with federal taxes on things like gas... 16. Limited salary of white house aides. If he did do this then those were the wrong salaries to limit. It is Congress that is being overpaid! 17. Attempting to close GItmo That was all campaign talk, once he was in office he seen the purpose of it and took it out of the spotlight... 18. Funded armor and mine resistant vehicles for the military Military got funded for that about 10 years ago, it has to have funding before they do the research and development. 23. Cash for Clunkers program This was a failed program when they did it in the 90's and it is still a failed program! By scrapping those "clunkers" you kill the auto repair industry (part manufactures and the auto mechanics and everything). Then the cars that are taken in are crushed so the junk yards can not make any money off of them. Plus the fact that most of the vehicles that were turned in were not ones that were being driven anyways so it is not helping the environment or anything there. All it did was raise prices on the used car market since there are less cars out there now... 25. HEALTH CARE REFORM LOL...You consider this a good thing? 26. Signed legislation making violence against Homosexuals a FEDERAL CRIME. So if homosexuals inflict violence on a heterosexual what is that, just a slap on the wrist? Im still in his corner, unless there comes to the front a 'better' candidate. This is the biggest problem, they are all telling lies so it is hard to pick the lesser of the evils...But this evil has got to go! |

Hey everyone I'm new to this site, although been on and off other sites for a few years. Okay, where to start. Over two years ago, my ex broke my heart. I spent all of the next two years making sure I wouldn't let myself get involved until I was over that pain. I dated a lot, no-one got hurt, it was fun. Anyway a couple of months ago I met this one guy, who was different. He was so lovely to me and seemed very interested. The dating progressed quickly and he would come round my house every day, texting every day. He would stare in my eyes and tell me how beautiful (beautiful, not cute, sexy!) he thought I was. I let my guard down and started to fall for him. We decided to be in a relationship and everything was great. Last Friday morning he left my house and everything was fine. He didn't contact me for all of the day, which I thought was a bit strange, but he said he had been busy at work and I believed him. Although when he came round that night I could sense something had changed. I tried to be normal, but the weekend was very weird. Anyway he left Sunday morning and then I got 'the call' on Monday evening 'I don't think this is going to work out.' I just don't know where I went wrong or what could have happened. It was always him wanting to see me, making forward thinking plans, telling me he didn't want anyone else. This isn't the worst thing that ever happened and I'm not sat at home crying, but I am really confused and shocked by it all. The only thing I can think is that maybe his ex or someone else got in touch on the Friday and he decided they were more suited in the long run. Anyone got any ideas? |

Naturalist

I would not call myself a nudist or naturalist or anything...but I do not put clothes on until I have to (like going outside or something). I sleep better without clothes, then get up and take a shower where I grab a towel getting out. That towel is good enough for me to be covered to go out on my front porch or where ever but any further than that and I will put shorts on...lol. I did go to a nude beach when I was in Germany, but it was nothing like the movies make it out to be...I think that the youngest person there (other that the people with me) were in their 50's...lol

Therapist?

The VA will pay you Travel Pay to drive to and from the closest VA Hospital. This is usually just for the initial consultation. If they agree with you that you need a therapist then they will likely find one that will accept the VA's payments for you. Good Luck

the death penalty
|

I think that instead of the death penalty (in most cases) or life in prison they should be sent over to Iraq/Afghanistan/etc. Instead of the taxpayers paying for them to sit around doing nothing (or getting juiced), they should be put to work to 'earn their keeps'. Besides, who do you think would be more 'fit' to be in war, some 18-19 y/o KID or an experienced killer? having been in combat in vietnam i think i'm capable of saying that people in combat need to rely on there fighting buddies. i wouldn't have much confidence in the courage of someone watching my back who was there to escape the death penalty or life in prison. |

Hopefully you are on these dating sites to move on from your ex, if that is so then forget about what they say and do what is right for you...

the death penalty

I am for the death penalty, especially when someone confesses... They should go straight from the courts to death row. Maybe get a week at the most to say their good byes and get everything in order (just in case they did not before).
I did a college paper on the death row and was shocked to find that there are people who have been waiting for execution for over 20 years (as I recall the one guy had been waiting 27 years). The system is messed up the way it is... |

Some times it is best to just let the past go and forget about him. But if you feel that you have to check up on him then just make up a profile with no pic or real detail information...

" I, _____, take you, ______, to be my wedded husband. For years I have prayed that God would lead me to a fool like you and I am confident that His will is being fulfilled today. With deepest joy I will take you for everything you got from this day on. As you have pledged to me your life, love and your house, so I too happily give you my promise that one day you will regret this day for the rest of your life…………………………………… " Really fellows don't you agree that wives start lying to their husbands at the altar, then they just get better at it with time. this is why the men die before the women hatefulness is unhealthy.... |

Inter- racial relationships
|
|
To me it is sad to think that we are suppose to be so open minded yet people still judge by the skin color instead of what is inside. I have had "interracial relationships" and it was not as big of a deal to us as it was to the people around us. I lost a few so called friends because of my relationships, but they were not true friends if they wanted to be that ignorant anyways...

To me a definition is the meaning of something that is widely accepted as the true meaning...

I can not believe Arkansas here has actually raised up on the list. Arkansas use to be like #2 worst state. I do not see the people here getting smaller so I guess the other states are just getting larger.
Most of the obese states are the poorer states, I know here there is not too much to do activity wise. The roads are terrible, limited sidewalks, no bike lanes, and the people are careless drivers so bicycling or walking is taking your life in your hands here. But the summer time hits and it is so hot most people just want to sit in the AC and become couch potatoes... Obesity is contagious also, if you are judging yourself against your friends then you are not using a good scale. I test myself and I consider myself and even though I need to lose more fat (15%) everyone around me are usually staying I need to eat more... I think they want everyone to be as big as they are so they will not be the minority... |

OK, I missed that part but I see it now. But another thought is this is only for sailors, not the whole country... Think about the ratio of sailors to hospitals then vs the whole US population to hospitals now. I do not know about the rest of the hospitals but here the Emergency Rooms are under staffed and crowded as it is and there are usually limited beds available for inpatients. Now think about if everyone was there.
The other thing about the government take over of hospitals is all the hospitals will have to follow the government rules. Currently there are a bunch of religious hospitals, most of them have been in the news saying that if the government makes then do things they do not want to like abortions and stuff then they will just close their doors. Now imagine the already crowded hospitals getting even more crowded from the lack of the religious hospitals that do actually close their doors... |

When you breed with an a$$

I was a kid of a single mother (along with a brother and sister) and I have never met my father, my mother never talked about him. I did look him up though, found out he only lived a few blocks away in the same town I grew up. I knew that I could never do that to my son, I am an *** sometimes but when it comes to my son I am a dad. The marriage thing did not work out but the parenting thing is something there is no option to give up on. It is part of life...if any of this rambling makes sense...lol

I have not researched what you posted but from what I can see the biggest difference is that the sailor version was still optional. They have the choice to pay, if they pay then they get the medical treatment...if they did not pay then they would not be covered. I did not see anything in what you posted as fines or any thing bad if the sailor did not pay...

Personally I would rather know, that way there is no surprise and if anyone wants to say anything that have been hanging on to they can. This is why people make bucket lists, to know what they need to hurry up and do before their time is up...

If you think of girls like cars then prostitution is like renting a car, sugardaddy thing is more like leasing it, while a traditional relationship is actually buying it...lol
