    Anyone else hear that the 22nd there is supposed to be another terrorist attack?

    Yep, I bet the Terrorists wanted a 1-2 punch. Knock Americans off balance with the first strike, hit em again for the knock-out blow a short while later. Trust me, the US economy and its people are on a razors edge right now. A tanking stock market, massive layoffs, key parts of the...

    For Ulfwald

    Yep, Face it. Criminals use guns day in and day out to harm the innocent. It is the rare case where the tables get turned. But because of the rareity, it just happens to get bigger headlines.

    Bush with higher approval rating than Clinton?

    My question: Bush was a C- student at Yale, so how was he accepted in to a Harvard MBA with that average? Seriously... Do you think daddy had anything to do with it?

    Bush with higher approval rating than Clinton?

    Eh, Probably about 30 at various times. I like midget fruit trees. If you count decorative shrubs, it goes way higher :) I do volunteer work (actually used to with my wife, I travel too much now), but getting dirty isn't me

    Bush with higher approval rating than Clinton?

    One more thing pertaining to Bush... When he went to Europe last, the expectations were so low that as long as he didn't get us in a war with France, his trip would be hailed a success. But Bush doesn't understand Europe (nor do they him), and he most definitely doesn't understand Russia...

    Bush with higher approval rating than Clinton?

    There have been more trees in the US since the early 70s. No wacko right-wingers need be asked to verify. Point of view, isn't it Tom? There have been more trees since I don't know when, but they aren't the same kind. You can chop down old growth forests (including redwoods) and replace them...

    Still think Bush won the election fairly?

    Regardless of how he won it, he is in. Regretably. Still, there are more asterisks next to his name than probably any president in history with respect to getting elected. This is just another one. I don't think the defections from the Republican party are over yet. I was watching C-span...

    Bush with higher approval rating than Clinton?

    Note: That was PRE failure of campaign finance reform. I watched that on C-span. It was the most devious, diabolical I have ever seen in Congress. I was ashamed, and still ashamed, of them. I wonder how far he dropped after that.

    If someone doesn't practice YOUR religion, are they going to hell?

    Embracing your own insignificance will take you higher than any religion promises to take you. Why Mr Engineer, I am considering to make that my Sig. Very pertinant. Kudos.

    If someone doesn't practice YOUR religion, are they going to hell?

    I think there are only a FEW branches of Chrisitanity that believe that you go to Hell if you do not do specific things (Catholics are one branch). I am Methodist... we do not think that way Dude! You have been brainwashed. Catholicism is the most progressive of the Christ religions. Heck...

    Windows XP is a very courteous operating system.

    Mlip, You are right about Microsoft, and only about 1/3 of those are what we would call coders. Testers, salesman, managers, and of late, lawyers! make up the rest. I had heard the sum of 50 million lines of code in office 2000, but I can only say that is a rumor. Definitely not billions...

    500 million small arms in the world - US owns half of these!

    Ever been to Europe? Take France for instance. Rapes occur there, and thievery is rampant. But they have a negligible murder rate... why? Simple. No one has guns. That solution won't work in the US. The US has too many guns to ever try to take them away from people. If you did, then...

    Aberdeen is loaded with tons of equipment from WWII. The road leading up to the base even has equipment displayed on the outside of the base. There is *alot* of equipment there, even dating back to WWI! Go, go now, go fast. If you are a WWII buff, you will enjoy it. The only thing is they...

    Will Women Ever Become President of the United States?

    Will Women Ever Become President of the United States? No. No Women will ever become president of the United States, however, in time, a woman will. And I look forward to it. They aren't nearly as arrogant as men, and may finally begin to address difficult social issues from the top down...

    Hey, Capn, I have every right to tell you like it is... You don't like my tone? Tough, I don't like yours either. Or are upset that I just hit the nail on the head? And you don't like it... And I'd slither back under my rock if it weren't already occupied by the freakin...

    Hey You Corrupt Greedy Christian RatBags... If I wanted you to have my money, I'd give it to you. You aren't a government. You don't provide defense. You don't make the roads better. You don't provide insurance, or help in housing. You don't deserve my fvcking money. That's the fact...

    Hey eDick, I know what Kyoto is about. It's about pollution, whether CO2, or other. Guess what, Carbon Dioxide pollution is still POLLUTION! And is still a problem. The US has to suck up a bitter pill, and my attitude is the sooner the better. Putting off this problem isn't helping...

    One more thing, Kyoto fans... Europe and Asia wanted the US to take the lead on Kyoto, and we balked. THEY ARE PROCEEDING WITH RATIFICATION OF THE TREATY, WITH OR WITHOUT US. But since we are the biggest polluters in the world, they offered us the chance to redeem ourselves a bit... but...

    Ahh, tominator. your truths do blind me... NOT! According to what I just read at Time, Bush's even 50% approval rate is the lowest of any president in the last five years... Makes you wonder how a sleeze bag like Clinton, with his phallic cigars, could have a higher approval rating than a...

    Any guys married to older women?

    A bud of mine was 28 when he married a 41 year old mother of 1. It was great at first, but I think he is starting to realize age does make a difference. +/- 5 years is good. Come to think of it, most of my buds have married older women, at least by a few years. Nuthin wrong with it I guess.
