Wow...8 pages of moronic hatred... Okay guys..go kick the **** out of the American people who don't agree with your ideologies to show what good Americans you are, who value freedoms that many of us have served, fought and died for...except for the people who don't do things YOUR way....(Yeah, the vets even fought and died for the hippies, left wingers and right wingers) I served this country so, I will speak my mind. Anyone that merciless and unyielding to different thought have got to be nothing but "Christians"...gotta spit after I say that God fearing American word...I need to lick my butt to get the taste out of my mouth... Good God...makes me wanna go fly a flag upside down just to lure you in........... Anyhoo..I am pretty sure THAT will get me canned for a day or three...but, That is the EXACT spirit of peaceful protest in our society...Saying or doing something that not everyone agrees with... If you are willing to physically assualt those who do not conform to your strict ideologies...it would be a good idea that we never find ourselves in arms reach...cause I was raised with not only the sense of freedom to express content or discontent..I was also raised with the stupid ideology of defending ones self...against all enemies..foreign and domestic (yeah, I took that oath too) and unlike alot of people..I was raised to be an actual fighter. (ironic that an actual circuit fighter is the one who thinks that violence is the wrong way to handle things in a civil American society) While I am waiting for the mods to delete this post and suspend or ban me for speaking the truth consider this... After reading such hard line, unyielding hatred towards a non violent act that hurt no one..that harmed nothing...yet apparently deserves a righteous @ss beating...I have lost alot of respect to people who I previously considered respectable...my mistake. I will not bother with the "current events & politics" threads anymore...Don't bother speaking to me in the other threads...I do not speak to your types (you know, the Holier than thou accept our ways, our love and our mercy or I will kick your @ss and you can burn in Hell" types)..If you are offended..then yeah, I am talking directly to you.........makes me ashamed and sad that I served this country. There..I said my piece...go kick his @ss. Umm, have you seen my posts in this thread? I'm a Christian , so according to you, I should be vilifying the guy who flew his flag upside-down ... if you read my posts, I think you'll find that I have tried to join the voices of reason here. Generalizations about Christians are just as abhorrent as generalizations about any other collection of people, whatever the common factor(s). There are many of us who actually see a person as an individual, and not just as someone to be categorized into one group or another. |

I actually have the right to call law enforcement any frickin time I choose to. Example, idiots that call 911 for McDonalds incidences. If you want to scream rights all day, then that free speech and freedom to feel how ever I want to. Now what law enforcement does when they get there, right or wrong, following the letter of the law or mucking it up is on them. Fine ... technically, you have the "right" to call the police about any stupid thing you want. Two potential unintended and undesired consequences from that, though, might very well be that 1) if your city, county, or state has a law against frivolous 911 calls, you could be arrested and jailed for trying to get someone in trouble who's not even breaking the law (as has been noted); or 2) what if one of your friends or relatives who lives near you is trying to call the police for something legitimate, but the police are getting a lot of calls at that particular time, and all their phone lines are tied up ... are you going to be comfortable with knowing that YOU kept someone from getting help that they NEED so you can exercise your "right" to call law enforcement and b!t¢h about something that isn't even against the law??? They have jobs to do, and the less of those kind of idiotic calls they get, the easier it will be for them to spend their time going after actual lawbreakers. This guy wasn't in "distress" that warranted a flag being flown upside down. He was out some money and ticked off. Once again, you have the "right" to feel strongly against what he did, but if he didn't break any laws, then the District Attorney and the police had absolutely no legal authority to do what they did. If they had arrested the guy, they would very likely have been in some serious legal trouble themselves. I'm not going to take the content of a newspaper article and condemn the guy, because there are far too many so-called "journalists" out there that can manipulate a story by writing it in such a way as to invoke certain feelings from the readership. That's why I'm sticking to a strictly legal interpretation of this incident in which the only laws that were broken were the ones broken by those who are supposed to be enforcing the law. |

OK so she thinks a nun-chhakka is not an arm. I agree. Arm (IMHO) is a weapon designed to hunt with that uses a propellent. Nun-chucks are NOT used for hunting. Where does she stand on guns... What is her record on that? The one thing everyone is not considering is the 4th leg. A three legged stool fails more often than a four legged chair. WE are the forth leg of the constitution. Our function is to STAND when the basic principles of our constitution have been shunted aside. Until that actually happens who are we to judge the judge before she judges when it matters. Just because she has not yet judged a case on the SCOTUS does not mean she has not made judgments that "matter" as a judge on lower courts. We absolutely can - and SHOULD - use those previous decisions to determine her fitness for the highest court in the land. |

I don't think the police were wrong. They got it Exactly right! There are rules of protocol with The Flag. You disobey and disrespect it, it should have been pulled, along with a SHOW SOME RESPECT, reminder. ... you couldn't be more wrong here. Yes, there are "rules of protocol" dealing with how the flag should be displayed. But disobeying those "rules" is NOT breaking the LAW, which is what the police are charged with enforcing. They have ABSOLUTELY no legal authority to do what they did. It does not matter what you or I or anyone else "feels" about it, it only matters what the law is, and in this case, it is the police who acted outside the law. [Edit: And since the police were advised to do so by the District Attorney, he was acting outside the law as well.] To each his own No, NOT "to each his own". The law is the law. If he is breaking the law, then he should be charged with whatever his crime is - PERIOD. If he is NOT breaking the law, then those in positions of law enforcement should leave him alone and focus on people who ARE breaking the law - PERIOD. You may find his actions offensive, but there is absolutely no guarantee under the law for ANY of us to go through our lives unoffended. You taking offense to something that someone said or did does not give you the right to call in law enforcement officials when the "offender" did not break the law in doing or saying whatever they did or said to supposedly offend you - PERIOD. |

We could be doing a lot more then we are doing now. We should be doing more about it!! You know Illinois. Have you see the steel plant in Granite City? The pollution from that plant destroys paint on cars. When I drive by it, I have my car windows closed and my child still has an asthma attack. Now they're calling Madison County, IL, the second highest area for carcinogenic pollution. Monsanto was a bad one for pollution in St. Louis during my childhood. They did something about it years ago and they did it on their own. Many companies are not so responsible. I just read through my post again, and to my amazement, nowhere in there did I read anything akin to "we've done all we can, we shouldn't be doing anything more". The fact that we've made a lot of progress is not stated here to imply that there aren't still areas in our own country that can be made better, but it is a fact nonetheless, and one that gets ignored by groups that want to do little but blame America for every problem and evil that exists in the world today. Have you been to any of the cities in China, India, etc.? Granite City would look like a walk through a meadow compared to some of them. Those two countries are among the biggest polluters in the world, much higher than the U.S. is now. Yet they're trying to have themselves exempted from any of the same restrictions they (among others) want to have put on us. That's a bunch of crap. So it's not just those evil corporations that are trying to do things in a "not so responsible" manner. Oh, and if those restrictions are imposed upon the U.S., but not the rest of the world, take a wild guess where some of those companies are going to go ... and with them, the jobs that they provide the communities in which they currently reside. |

I wouldn't have expected that. I am happy for you. Add my name to your list of supporters. Truthfully; I never expected it either. I will support you rose. Always. Need to have someone bich at you? I'm here. lol Kat Actually, she'll probably need someone who will listen to her b!t¢h, not the other way around ... Anyway, Kim, I know you can do this ... just remember that when life gets like this , don't give in to the temptation to reach for a smoke, and you'll kick this thing in no time! |

I don't quite know what to make of our 'scientists'. When I attended high school in the 70's all the texts said that the earth was due for another ICE AGE. (and the data backed that assertion up). Now they say 'global warming'... Yet the same data still points to an Ice Age. Agendas anyone? Precisely. The whole idea of using a term like "climate change" as some omen of catastrophe is absurd ... the only CONSTANT about the climate is that it's constantly CHANGING! The fact that meteorologists have trouble telling any of us what the weather is going to be like next week because of all the variables involved gives lie to the notion that "computer models" can accurately predict what the weather will be 100 years from now. Computer models rely on certain constants remaining constant in order for their long-range calculations to come to fruition. Since weather itself is so continuously and rapidly changing, it is ridiculous to take seriously what those who promote those computer models have to say about their doomsday scenarios for the future. Should we humans do whatever we can to treat this planet with respect? Absolutely! But that's just it ... we've already done more here in the United States in the last few decades than many people thought possible in the areas of pollution and the like. There are now many countries that are far bigger polluters than we ever were, yet they have been getting themselves excluded from all attempts to control pollution, while some of those same countries are trying to guilt the U.S. into imposing tighter and tighter restrictions on ourselves despite all the progress we've already made! If pollution is a bad thing, then it's a bad thing no matter where it is. And if our pollution will have an impact on the rest of the world, then the rest of the world's pollution will have an impact of the entire world, including us. So let's not have any more of these b.s. "treaties" where other countries get to shift the entire burden onto the U.S. |

is Mr. Wonderful out there?

i am looking for my mr. right to fall into my life. i am interested in finding someone who loves God as much as I do, and maybe even share a lot of the same beliefs and convictions as I have. check out my profile, and let me know if you think we could get along well. Don't look so hard for "Mr. Right" that you miss all the other things God may have for your life right now. I know it can be difficult to be patient, but He knows when the best time is for you to meet someone. The best thing to do is to live your life obediently to Him, holding on dearly to the principles He has placed in your heart, and He will guide you. It can be quite scary sometimes to put that much trust in Him, and no one guarantees that your life will go perfectly if you do, but if you use what He has given you for His glory, you will never need to seek fulfillment elsewhere. May God greatly bless you on your journey! |

they should make a thread where you can make new threads. your thought? Or a thread about thread... all purpose, cotton, poly, silk, 2 ply, 3 ply, metalliic, etc. I actually thought that's what this one was going to be, but curiosity convinced me to open it up anyway. |

By the way, what ever happened to just being an American irregardless of color? Irregardless isn't a word! Sorry, that bugs me. I agree ... and it doesn't matter to me one bit how people attempt to defend the usage of that utterance ... it's still improper! I also really don't give a rip if this is "off-topic", either. |

Does a lousy kisser turn you off?? especially if they don't care to learn how to kiss well??? Absolutely! BUT, I'm not sure good kissing is something that can be learned--you either have it or you don't! Oh hell yes great kissing can be learned.. Come on over and let me prove it to you!!!! If someone can't put thought into kissing... you know the sex will be even worse!!! Oh darlin', I don't need the lessons... Thats exactly what the last lousy kisser said to me! Trust me on this one... Like Reagan said ... "Trust, but verify." Btw, did you know that I am a verification expert? |

It's not hard to get a date.. It's hard to get the date you want... So many moan and groan about not getting a date or meeting someone, yet they never stop to ask "hmmmm could it be my expectations?" Not saying to lower your expectations, just be realistic with your question... I don't have a date b/c of my expectations, I know and accept this and I don't complain that it's hard to get a date... just sayin' I couldn't agree more, Joy ... I haven't had a date in quite some time, but it's because I haven't made any effort whatsoever to get a date in quite some time! I'm happily single at the moment! |

I think a lot of guys try to be too subtle. If you just come out and ask if a girl would like to go grab a cup of coffee; you might be surprised how many dates you get. yeah, but i don't like coffee. Same here, can't stand the stuff. Coffee Almost everyone I know seems to think I'm weird for not liking coffee ... I thought I was pretty much a lone wolf on that one Good to know I'm not! |

I remember once at an Auburn football game during the pre game, and presentation of the colors and national anthem. My family was there, we stood up. Dad and brothers took off their caps but my little (at the time) 12 yr old nephew did not. My brother's hand came around from the back of my nephew's head, dragged that cap off the front and slammed it into his chest, and said "Show some respect boy". I doubt he'll ever forget that lesson. At my very first football game, when we stood for the national anthem, there were a couple of guys near me that still had their hats on after the song had started. I said "HATS, gentlemen!", and they took them off right away. There was an older couple in front of me, and the lady turned around and said, "Thank you!" So I'm all about showing respect for the flag. However ... I don't think the police were wrong. They got it Exactly right! There are rules of protocol with The Flag. You disobey and disrespect it, it should have been pulled, along with a SHOW SOME RESPECT, reminder. ... you couldn't be more wrong here. Yes, there are "rules of protocol" dealing with how the flag should be displayed. But disobeying those "rules" is NOT breaking the LAW, which is what the police are charged with enforcing. They have ABSOLUTELY no legal authority to do what they did.
