I really hate admitting this . . .

. . . but . . . for the last 20 years . . . or so . . . I've been fairly "loyal" to the elephant party . . . what a limp dick thing to admit . . .

. . . anyway . . . I've FINALLY woken up and realized some things:

1 - W-bush is a damn liar - I actually believed the whole WMD BS - I'm such a fool - GW has done more to help turn back the clock on environmental issues than . . . well, it's just pathetic . . . and let's don't even talk about the mars/moon bullsh#t . . . and what about protecting American jobs ? Stupid moth-r-freaker . . . I think GW was carrying out the final vengence from his daddy . . . who didn't finish the job with Desert Storm . . . WMD my a$$ . . . f-you GW!!! 500 American lives lost . . . 6 to 8K Iraqi civilians died . . . nearing 2 billion for this BS "war" . . . are we any safer . . . f-yew!!!!

2 - All congressional politicians (dems & republicans) receive "lobby money", therefore, they are all whores - it's legalized bribery . . . the lobbyists "donate" to the politicians campaign fund simply because there is legislation on the table - or will be soon - that affects the corporation "donating" the money & they're simply buying a vote - f-that

3 - If I was ever asked if I smoked mary-j, I'd say "Hail-YES!!! and it was fun & though I don't smoke it anymore I don't regret all the damn good times I had when I did smoke it and it's a hellu lot safer than alco-freakin-hol

4 - I could go on & on . . . but . . . it's late & it's been three days since my last relief and . . . I don't wanna wake up with a woody again . . . so . . . I'm gonna go grab a couple of Kleenex and . . . . well . . . you get the idea, I'm sure . . .

:rolleyes:

peace out

Where you get your stats? Aren't we nearing 1000 dead and 10k seriously wounded? And seriously wounded means these boys will probably never live normal lives again.

2 billion? Haven't we spent 10's of billions already?

And like you said - Where the hell are the jobs going? Rich are getting richer and the rest of us are S.O.L.

I'd vote for a good Republican but its time the Bush clan was gone for good from American politics :angry:

I used to work with a really cool guy . . . he wasn't outspoken and he was generally respected . . . one of his political theories was something like this:

If the house & senate are dominated by one party I'll vote for the other party for President to sort of balance things out.
I think there's some credibility in that reasoning.

Where you get your stats?
. . . uh . . . I think there's a website . . . iraqideathtoll.com . . . or something like that . . . and, of course, there are several other sources of "seemingly reasonably valid" information . . . you know, it really doesn't matter . . . because, as I see it, there were obviously FAR too many civilians who died or were maimed due to our impatient, over zealous & wreckless behaviour to wipe out Sadam . . . no doubt, he's a vicious person who did a lot of horrible things, but geez . . . I swear somehow, some way they could of taken him out without killing all the Americans, allies & Iraqi civilians . . . and . . . no matter what anyone else says . . . that's the truth and we all know it . . .

. . . so, there . . .

Yeah, I was raised a die hard Republican. But I woke up when Ronnie ran. That was when I realized that the Republican party was talking through their hat. They were not for smaller government, just different government. Both parties want to control certain aspects of my life. Both are more concerned with controlling DC, than the interests of the nation. A perfect example is the latest push to make Gay marriages a major issue in the upcoming presidential election. Talk about deflecting the public eye from what really matters. In the scheme of what is important, Gay marriage is not even in the top 10. At this point, I am so disgusted with the process, for the first time in my life, I am contemplating not voting.

The semi-colon is a great tool; it allows you say some stuff and then say some different stuff all in the same sentence.

ellipses are cool, but hyperbole are even better! :D

Your totally right about the gay marriage thing being a deflection. Its no like if gays can marry, that all-of-a-sudden that my wife isn't going to mean anything to me. Its not like gays that want to get married are going to say, wait, I can't marry by order of GWB, maybe Its becasue I'm straight, and was fooling myself. Its just not an important issue I feel. At least not right now.



At this point, I am so disgusted with the process, for the first time in my life, I am contemplating not voting.
Don't not vote, that is very important! I made the mistake of not voting in the 2K election ( I was in cali at a studio working for two weeks, and forgot to get my write-in vote form), I'm from florida, and I would have voted for gore.....

I still feel guilty for not voting acually...

CNN said 525 soldiers have died. So, I'm not sure about the 1,000 number.

And you're not kidding about the seriously wounded -- that translates into legs and arms being amputated, etc.

and to cover his heinee... we see that there's gonna be some sort of witch hunt on intelligence. someone's gonna take da fall... will it be JORGE DUBYA BOOSH?

maybe he could blame it on his father...

i don't know what to think anymore. i really hope something good will come out of this quagmire, yet i wanna get my piece of prosperity too. i don't like seeing innocent people and soldiers dying... however, better them than me?

it only sucks when it strikes home, i guess.

i don't like feeling that everyone else can bitch about the US... it makes me sick to do it myself. we all complain about the big dudez in the world...

maybe its time for a REVOLUTION. i dunno... i guess is still don't have a point. i like O_D's assessment on wanking and toking. too bad the stigma out there is that its bad for you......

No $hit.

Let's see:

- over 1 million jobs lost in the last couple of years;
- high unemployment;
- huge budget deficit;
- loss of civil rights;
- last, but certainly not least, is the unnecessary death of people in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Yeah, the fact that two lesbians want to marry each other has really got me concerned. What is this world coming to?!?

Yeah, I think if you don't vote you don't have any damn right to complain about the politicians . . . no matter who you vote for, VOTE!!!

As for the code . . . sometimes - not often - I'll do a word code in my messages . . . but has nothing to do with the dot things . . . I don't think anyone has ever "gotten" one of the hidden messages . . . that's probably a good thing . . . like when I used to work at a fast food place and my obnoxious neighbor drove up and ordered his meal . . . I doubt he ever noticed the lugy in his chocolate shake . . .

. . . hey . . . gimmie a break . . . I was just a teenager and he only paid me $3 to mow his lawn and I did a great job and he never appreciated the extra effort I put into making his lawn look fantastic . . .

Ain't he one of those evil dudes from Harry Potter or the Ring Trilogy? No, that ain't it. I know. It's how I feel about the political scene this year.

fun fact of the day: on a mac type option-colon to get a _real_ ellipse rather than the imposter three period setup:

(note nested colon usage)

... <--- three period
… <--- ellipse

That was just on "Monk" the other day.

One obsessive compulsive brother says to the other obsessive brother, "I was being sarcastic".

Brother replies, "No, you were being sardonic".

I can't vote...I'm like the fourth man on the bobsled. I pay in, but I have no control over where we go.
