AH, Don't....use......reason......can't.........use....reason.......hurts..........brain.........

How about OLD white men??

hey, I was married to one of those,, watch it,,,lol

its pompous people who get me,, regardless of gender or race,,,

I'm sorry, I was just accosted by some teabaggers a couple of weeks ago for having the audacity to..........

OMG!!!

Eat Ice Cream near their party!!
They called me some hateful (racist) things, I don't care to repeat.

yeah,, thats shameful ,, I can relate.

But, hey, dont paint the whole group by the actions of some,, that is what the hatemongers and seperatists do. I honestly dont think the majority are blatantly racist,, could have been about where you were as well as who was there. In any case,, they were just STOOPID,,lol,,, or maybe they were just jealous of that smile :P

That makes sense. They were just so unbelievably hateful towards me and my friend. I'm not usually sensitive, but I've never heard anything like that in my life.

I think some of these issues are being addressed.

I know that we offer 20 internships to students from the local community college that are in the engineering technology program.

Unfortunately, they only comprise about 1% of the total number of students at the school.

I would like to see more of an emphasis on math and science than the business and education fields.

I was looking at the Bureau of Labor Statistics website and I noticed that there are more teacher assistants, making $23,000 per year, than the total number of engineers.

If we don't have enough engineers, we have no hope of bringing back productivity..

Elections, shmelections. They're meaningless. (especially in our system, which maintains the pretense of having 2 distinct parties) As Mayer Rothschild said, "let me issue a nation's currency, and I care not who writes its laws". The politicians have always been, and still are, useful idiots for moneyed interests. (even Hamilton was in the pocket of the bankers)

I'm returning this thread. Leave the insults and attacks off of the forums. Keep the debate civil. Debate the topic or post and not the poster.

As long as we only rely on a two party system, we will have the same reoccurring nightmares and the next president picking up the torch left by the last one.

The past is being repeated every election. Dems and Repubs screw us like there is no manana.

If you can watch three screens on your TV, watch Fox News, MSNBC and WWF all at the same time.

I was surprised to see how similar the "news" channels were to WWF and how they jeer each other.

Anyone who believes the two parties aren't holding hands and laughing about how they keep us over the barrel, without Vaseline or even a kiss, is just BS'n themselves.

I agree, we cant afford to slip in the areas of math and science. The kids need real time role models outside of just athletes and performers.

The answer is really SIMPLE....Getting it done is NOT...equate government spending programs to a person that continues to gain weight....at some point she/he decides that its time to lose the weight(maybethe family can no longer afford the food it takes)...it can't be done all at once....the weight has to gradually come off,just like it was gradually put on. For many, there is some type of pain involved - exercising more and eating less.

The article clearly point out what is happening...at some point, we will run out of enough of other people's monies to support the don't haves relying on the government. So it is beyond time to turn our sinking spending boat around GRADUALLY and head in the opposite direction. Many will have to live through the Pain as they did before we got to this situation in the first place.

We really are gonna have to have a constitutional amendment to stop it. The spending, that is. No politician will ever agree for long enough to gradually stop overspending. And until then, trillions will continue to be spent....it is now estimated at 1.56 trillion for 2010.

Well, If you make you feel better..I've been told that I'm a "white" person and I think most multiracial or other ethnicity would immediately say I am by looking at my picture. Until I figured out from "real whites" (I don't know what I need to be one) that I am not. So for the census I mark "Caucasian", for others I explain, that I carry genes from Turkic/Asiatic tribes who don't exist anymore (Cuman (asiatic) and Yazig (sarmatian))
The kicker is that they were from the Caucaus region.

So I'm happy to be a representative of an extinct tribe..even if it's heavily mixed with other genes...while others can keep their white pride, I couldn't care less....

Its a growing epedimic actually, recognizing 'race' strictly by asthetics. My mom was confused for white growing up and my brother is still confused as Arab, I have even had to DEBATE with others who were insistent that I must be 'mixed;, although my mom , my brother , and I are all black.

Its not so much the confusion or mistakes that are an issue with me though, its just the separatist attitudes and name calling that get under my skin.

You know, the distinquishing trait of Stupid people is their over-reliance upon the racial belonging:
it (putting others down) helps them overcome their own insignificance!!! (i.e. " as miserable as I am, I still belong to the "MASTER" race, thus I must be a Master also" -- or something similar to this convoluted logic, which enables them assuming their superiority! ..because they've nothing else to distinquish themselves with).

So, please, treat them with utmost compassion -- God knows, they're the deprived ones!!!

You said it !

Regarding Obama:

if you enjoyed the Clinton times,

your sure are in luck, cuz they're back!!!

minus the rhodes scholar( although magna cum laude from Harvard Law isnt too shabby) and the affairs,,

but I still enjoy them both,,

Wow....all I can say is...many Obama supporters are

"STILL IN DENIAL"

Obama was only elected because people "believed" that he would clean up Washington(remeber the main BROKEN promises - "transparency and
ethics" (what has happened - just more deals behind closed doors with lobbyist) no appointment of lobbyist in his administration(what has happened - they r still working and mightily)many people he nominated couldn't even pay their taxes correctly...Is Guantanomo still open?....Was health care reform debated on C span or at least openly...trillion dollar deficits....allowing public comment on bills before signing....gosh, I just tire trying to remember all of the LIES Obama told that helped him get elected... And heck a lot of peoople voted for Obama as a vote against Bush.

Big changes coming in November.....

Obama was only elected because people "believed" that he would clean up Washington(remeber the main BROKEN promises - "transparency and
ethics" (what has happened ....

REALLY?
Cause I could have sworn I voted because he was the better candidate,,, much like MOST do in a two nominee election such as the presidency. Did I expect him or any other president to have a magic wand to FIX ALL Things(and let alone in fifteen months),, no. BUt then, as I have said before, I seem amongst few who understand a tiny bit about government authority and dont get drunk on media kool aid instead. I NEVER Take a presidents 'promise'(unless it is to veto) as a promise, because he has authority to do NOTHING on his own(besides vetoing) and noone can promise someone what OTHERS will do.
