One down, dozens and dozens, and dozens of war profitteers, including bush and cheney, to go. I would be excited that one of them was going down, if that actually meant that they were going to get the rest. I think Enron proved, all they are interested in, is making examples, to give the impression they actually care what these people do to us, and to our soldiers.

Ok, so you guys are whining about a lack of evidence, to something that if anymore obvious, would bite in the @$$. Then go through the trouble of proving a pretty decent point, that he's not backing any of this stuff up. Just to turn around, and do it yourself. Who said, and "backed it up" that they actually found anything, in irac. Personally, I think whether or not they had umd's, is irrelivant. Saddam, was evil. With or without them he should have been deposed. The point though, is that bush went in there with no plan of action past, get saddam, Yeah! Which resulted in the deaths of over 100,000 people between them and us. If you really want a list of his lies, deceptions, and criminal behavior, you'll have to give me a couple years to write it all down for you. The list is just soooooo loooonnnggg.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but you don't have to be a rocket scientist to look at what they told us about 9/11 to know they lied, about at least some of it. You don't have to be brilliant, to see price gauging in gas prices, or to wonder why this just happened to occur, when we elected a man who's family fortune is made in oil. So far as clinton lovers. I think he was crooked just like the rest, but at least he respected the system enough not to make a mockery. If there is one thing bush has proven, its that if Clinton hadn't ALLOWED us to attack him about monica lewinsky, none of his troubles would have occurred. Bush has proven that its dang near impossible to get anything out of a president who doesn't want to give it up. Not to mention that, the fact that he holds onto his secrets so tightly, probably denotes some pretty bad skeletons in his closet. Though, you're right that, "probably", isn't exactly evidence of wrong doing. The reason noone wants to point out the obvious to you, though, is that it would take too long, and the things you want proven to you, would be aquivalent to trying to prove its daytime. You could pull up a chart with time zones, and astrological diagrams and equipment proving the exact location of the sun in relation to the spin of the earth, but why go through the trouble when all this idiot has to do is open a window. The fact is that there is more evidence that he is lying, in the form of documentation, books, articles, and testimonies, plus a little common sense,and first hand experience, than there is proof than he isn't lying, and decieving. So, how about you prove that he isn't lying, and provide evidence. Because we aren't talking about, someone who said "unicorn exist, prove me wrong." we're talking "grass is green, prove me wrong." if you can't figure this one out on your own, then you probably aren't going to be able to keep up with someone proving what a bad guy bush is. I'm sorry if I offend, but how blatant does it have to get, before people stop asking us to point out the obvious. The skiyrocketing prices of not only gas but everything else. The national debt. The debacle that is Irac. The abuse of american citizens, in airports, train stations, and bus stops, by security. We could walk on that plane naked and terrorists would still find a way to blow it up. The alienation of the rest of the world, by this administration. Lobbying a 700 mile wall to stop immigration, whilst not once asking what might be wrong with our immigration policies, that would cause a person to risk DEATH crossing the desert, rather than walking down the street to do it legally. Part of the reason some people want to make it easier on the illegals is because some of our hardest workers are illegal immigrants. Criminals aren't the only people trying to cross our borders. I could go on and on, about all the mistakes of this administration, but what would be the point. If you don't see it yet. You have blinders on, so huge, you probably would have believed Hitler was a pretty swell guy, if you had lived back then. Bush has preyed on the trust of the american people, and used it to gut us. I don't care who gets elected next year, but they're certainly going to have their work cut out for them. |

Good for her! Why the hell, not?! I think that it was unnecessary to make him gay, but stupid, closeminded people, are so easily aroused. And it's a good point, that she didn't officially make him gay. Considering now that the series is done, no more stories are going to be written in which his sexual preference will make any difference at all. Having such a beloved character like him, turn out gay after the fact definitely is good PR for the Gay Cause though, so to speak. I'm not gay, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the humor in riling up a bunch of bigots, just to laugh at them when they react, so predictably. I suppose she might not of had that intention herself, but it amounted to the same thing. Bravo

If these are the end times. Who is supposed to be the antichrist? Bush is too offensive and stupid to be anything but the worst president in history. Not to mention, he would have to unite the world, specifically Jerusalum, the holy land. Bush couldn't unite a people, from any nation, let alone his own. I think the main reason for this comes from being raised with that silver spoon. Now I hesitated to jump to this conclusion too quickly at first, but bush can't help anyone because to him, people who make less than 100 grand a year aren't people. They are "workers".
He can't help Irac because he will never understand the suffering, the average non-terrorist Iraci goes through. The fear of being blown up on the way to school, shopping, visiting a friend. They live with the constant fear of being killed. That would drive anyone crazy, after long enough. Especially after losing a few family members. They lived this way before bush invaded, and now it's even worse, because when bush deposed saddam, he took out the only thing holding that country together. If he had read even one history book about Irac, he would have found that the fear caused by saddam hussein, while cruel and evil, acted as a glue of sorts, keeping all the different factions from splintering off. He actually kept the peace, so to speak, for longer than just about anyone else in a hundred years. If bush seriously wanted to take him out, and gain the trust of the people, as a liberator, instead of an invading country. He needed to do something good for the people. Show them that life without saddam, is better. Instead they got civil war. You want to talk religion, well for the most part I don't buy into it, but for bushes sake I hope there is a hell. |

Hoorah MagiMan, well put!! Whilst I'm sure guns make people feel safer, they do more to kill eachother, than they ever have when used against the government, and you're right that even if we organized against them with all our nifty handguns, shotguns, and riles, and the like, that we would swiftly be put down by far niftier weaponry, and superior training. I may not agree with the war, or rather how we've went about it, but despite the idiots in charge, the us military is a force to be reckoned with. Not to mention that the bible says "thow shalt not kill", and we have laws against killing eachother, yet the handgun has no other "real" purpose, other than to kill People. One doesn't hunt with a handgun, and we have dozens of very effective and in some cases violent, non-lethal weaponry. We simply choose not to use it because people find the power to kill someone preferable, and more secure feeling, than the ability to simply put a guy out. Though, the cowboy attitude definitely looks cooler when your packin'.
I think that our government's dependency on blackwater, and their ilk, should've been a sign from the beginning that we weren't going about this war how we should have. If you want to call out, bush and his cronies for this war. You need look no further than its conception. Here is the Middle East, a place that has been warring with ITSELF for over a hundred years, and more. Everyone who was calling the shots in this debacle with exception of maybe bush, knew the history of this region, and yet still chose to invade Irac without a feesable plan of action for what to do afterwards. "Derr...I think I'm going to dispose Irac's evil dictator, and then I'm going to put the same corrupt government that was abusing the people before we came, back in charge...derr...and then after blowing up half the country in the war, we'll take ten years to rebuild it. Leaving Irac in even worse decay, misery, and poverty, than it's seen with over a hundred years of war with itself. Then I'll spend the rest of my days wondering why the world hates me so much." I'm sorry, I don't mean to be unfair, this whole situation would've been difficult for anyone, but bush didn't just drop the ball this last 7 years, he intentionally beat it to a pulp and covered it in the blood of over a 100,000 dead people between here, and Irac. He's ruined our economy, the national debt is obscene, and the world hates us. Ok, so I can't talk about W without ranting. Back on topic though, what blackwater and other mercenary groups have done during this war has been bad, but it is only one of the hundreds of ways this administration has failed us, and how we have failed ourselves in letting it happen. |

I think alot of good things have been said here. With the exception of the sleep farter, guy. I think that it's a human condition to see greener grass somewhere else. I tried to act how I thought my girlfriends wanted me to act, but all I found out is that, it's not just "Men", or "Women", that are one way or another. Settling into generalizing all men into sharing one characteristic, like wanting space, or disliking clingy girls, is inevitably going to be problematic. The same goes for men, generalizing women. All people are unique in their experience of the world, and while some share traits, no one came by those traits the same way. All a person can do is try their best to understand what the other person wants, and try to learn from our past mistakes. Feel your guy out, and do what you think is best.
