some of Clinton's pardons?

Here are a few:

On August 11, 1999, Clinton commuted the sentences of 16 members of FALN, a violent Puerto Rican nationalist group that set off 120 bombs in the United States mostly in New York City and Chicago, convicted for conspiracies to commit robbery, bomb-making, and sedition, as well as for firearms and explosives violations.

I'm sure these were good guys though....

How about this guy?

Melvin J. Reynolds, a Democratic Congressman from Illinois, who was convicted of bank fraud, 12 counts of sexual assault, obstruction of justice, and solicitation of child pornography

Nice huh?

Clinton issued 140 pardons as well as several commutations on his last day of office (January 20, 2001)

I have a question for the men. Why do it? Why?

EXAMPLE: You hear about a bad business decision that if gone wrong, you would loose everything you own, and have to pay a business partner an outrageous settlement for the rest of their life even if that partner causes the business to fail.

Would you invest in it? Probably not.

Yet and still there are plenty of men putting their financial livelyhood in jepardy. Marriage today has nothing to do about love, it's about money. In any other situation you would be labled a fool and an idiot if you squandered your life away like that.

But when it's love and marriage Women, religion, and society expects you to put yourself in peril in the name of love and children. And If you don't, you're labled as immature. With all the guys getting screwed in court looosing their kids etc, why do it?

Until they make the laws more equal, men should refuse to marry. If you have assets you shouldn't

Kobe Bryant at 28 [now]
19296 points
4073 Rebounds
3561 Assists
MJ 28
about 16000 points
like 3700 Rebounds
around 2700 assists
sorry for the estimation of MJ's #'s they were educated guesses.
People think Kobe fans are just young people who've never seen MJ in his prime, but I honestly believe the #'s speak for themselves.
just a couple more stats: MJ at 28: a grand total of 0 Championships, Kobe at 28:3 Championships, guess Kobe isn't the only one who can't win without help huh? One last thing about KB24, his new motto I made up:
"Haters Haters they come by the dozen
but everyone knows #24 ot the whole world buzzin"

Anyone else have a similar headache?

"It's not in the bible, so..."
"Tradition, tradition tradition, that's all you Catholics talk about..."
"Look it up in the bible.."
"Site the scripture for that..." (then you do, but they never acknowledge it. they never pick that answer.....double ouch!)

Help me, plz! I think I'm about to have a mental break down! 1st off, I'm married and have had 2 affairs. One of them is also married but, unlike me, he has 3 kids(twin 2 y/o boys and a 1 mo old girl). I know we can never be any more than sex partners but, I am so stressed. I feel so sick when I see pics of his wife and kids on his webpage. They all look so happy and clueless and it makes me sick that I am doing this to them and at the same time I get so jealous of wifey and just want to laugh because she has no clue then I start crying and get upset. I know I should stop this affair(it's been going on since last October) but, I hear his voice, see his cute smile, look into his beautiful green eyes and I just go weak. I know this isn't fair to either of our spouses. Hubby and I have a rocky marriage, anyways but, he says him and wifey are very much in love. He just wants a piece of @$$ on the side. How can do this if he is "very much in love"??? Also, how do I get help with my emotions?

I got a GFE from a mortgage broker, he had run my credit and said I can get this loan he illustrated in the GFE. Now after I have paid for an appraisal he is telling me that the lender ran my credit and my score has gone down. I subsribe to my fico and per my fico there is not another inquiry besides the one he ran. He now wants to give me a way higher interest rate, I told him I want proof that the other lender rejected me and he says he can't provide such, and i want a copy of my credit report showing that my score had gone down. They do not want to provide me this info. either. I feel that I have a right to this information. I have now filed a complaint with the BBB and am planning on contacting the DRE. I am disgusted with this situation and mad as hell!!!!

Some christians (blindly) argues that people chooses to be gay, while some christians accept the fact that people are born gay but still think of it as a sin that gays should not act upon.

First of all, people are BORN gay! I'm gay myself, so I know what I'm talking about. If I really had a choice, I would not choose to be gay. Being gay is really hard emotionally, and it brings no reward.

Christians compare thiefs to gays! A thief doesn't just steal for the sake of stealing! They want money, and that's thier motive. But gays don't have any motive to be gay, there's no raward to it. Why can't christians understand common sense?

Now as for christians who accept people are born gay, but don't approve of homosexuality, what do you suggest gays to do? Are gays supposed to marry women despite not being attracted to them? If your son were born gay, would you tell him to stay sexually deprived for his entire life? It's the 21st century, hello!

I have a tree in my front yard that took some damage near the main trunk due to cicadas a couple of summers ago, and has now grown out over the roof of my house and is rubbing the shingles and fireplace. I need to find someone to trim it back for me, but what is the best way to pick a reliable company to do this work for me? How do I go about finding the right company to do the job with the least risk to my house and tree?

What do you think about women who do body-building - I mean the ones who tone their muscles like a man? Do you think it's attractive or are you repelled by it???
Personally I think it's totally unfeminine and hideous!!
