The news used to be informative, and thoughtful, and now it seems more concerned about celebrities, and coming up with ridiculous names for them like vaughniston. What happened to the news?

Are you all high schoolers who didn't take a college economics class? Not pumping gas for one day will do absolutely nothing at all.

The only way to drop gas prices is to cut consumption, thus lowering the demand.

I love how people listen to other people just because it's the popular thing at the moment..

I laugh at the people thinking they are going to make a big dent in the oil industry. Get those mean oil tycoons.

Ruby - who owns restaurants in Cincinnati, Louisville and Belterra, Ind. - said Simpson, who was in town for the Derby on Saturday, came in with a group of about 12 Friday night and was seated at a table in the back. A customer came up to Ruby and was "giddy" about seeing Simpson, Ruby said.

"I didn't want that experience in my restaurant," Ruby said, later adding that seeing Simpson get so much attention "makes me sick to my stomach."

He said he went to Simpson's table and said, "I'm not serving you." Ruby said when Simpson didn't respond, he repeated himself and left the room.
Simpson's attorney, Yale Galanter, said the incident was about race, and he intended to pursue the matter and possibly go after the restaurant's liquor license.

So I've seen this bull**** petition trying to keep Paris out of jail.Paris Hilton said this is injustice... um, no if you break the law you have to pay for it. I'm so sick of celebrities who think they are above the law. I hope no one actually signs it but what I was wondering is..... Where's the petition to sign that will send her to jail? Cuz I will sign that a thousand times! Maybe we need to sign one to just keep her in there to.

sometihngs never change eh

The Origin of Islamic Imperialism

The tribes around the Muslims began to convert to Islam out of self-preservation. Those that didn’t were gradually defeated in battle in a pattern that became the blueprint for the successful establishment of Islam as a world religion. Typically, the enemy’s trust would be gained by non-intrusive measures in which the Muslims would insert themselves into the foreign community while professing their respect for local traditions and political structures. As they began to gain power, however, they would divide loyalties and exercise violence to acquire local hegemony.


Beware allowing muslims into the west, whilst in the minority they will pretend to respect your views and traditions all the while secretly dispising you and planning to take over.

Ron Paul: Total Victory, Yet Censorship Continues

Ron Paul emerged from last week's GOP debate as completely victorious according to every available benchmark and yet there is still a deliberate ploy to push the Texas Congressman to the sidelines on behalf of a terrified corporate media.

You probably are saying “When did this happen?”. Well, I know why you didn’t hear. Because the victims were White and the filthy animals who perpetrated this brutal crime where Black. “What!?! A black person committing a horrible, nefarious crime, there must be some mistake.” So, Mr. Sharpton, Mr. Jackson, where’s the rainbow coalition to give protest to this slaughter? Obviously if you want a crime to go public all you have to do is find some seedy whore, that says 5 white cops, or a bunch of spoiled rich kids committed a crime against her, then find out it was all a lie and then bank on all the sympathy and publicity you got from it. Sadly, this will not happen for this couple and the worst part is, the disgusting mongrels will probably end up getting life, with a nice fat parole in a few years, instead of what they deserve, a public execution.

Recently I asked a question about support for a "No Gas Day"
and got sone real decent awnsers...Some people were split
down the middle if it would work or not.So lets go a little farther.

How about making the 15-17 of June a "No Gas Weekend"
Three Days of Starving the dreaded Oil Machine and powers that be of the cash they crave so much....is this too much of a stretch or are most of you still in the fight?

It sounds a bit funny to me that the15 year old daughter of a well known preacher (who happens to claim not to like hip hop) was at an Akon concert that was exclusively for patrons 18 and up was tricked into a "simulated sexual act" on stage at a club in Trinidad. After the video was released on You Tube and Local Media the father of the girl demanded an investigation as to why his innocent daughter was sexually assaulted. As a result Akon was then banned from travelling to Trinidad and was dropped from his endorsement deal with Virizon Wireless. I'm not defending his actions but I would like to question the situaion itself. Do you feel that the consequences should have been harsh or do you think that everything is blown all out of proportion?

Any idea on where i can locate the Madeleine e-poster. I think its a great idea to distribute and display the poster, if firstly to help Maddie be reunited with her parents, by raising global puplic awareness of her identity, but also to show global support for her distraught parents.
