Current Events - July 2006

Seriously everybody, we all are just burying our heads, numbing ourselves with, drugs, alcohol, shopping and food. At what point do we say "this is Bull Sh&t and step up and take responsibility for how our nation is governing itself. Voting is NOT enough. Please don't answer with some economics jargen that you learned in college, that's NOT the way big business is playing out. "Dow off 2 despite Exxon's $10B profit
Exxon made more than $10 billion but an 85-point gain for the Dow shrivels to a 2-point loss. Aetna plunges as it forecasts higher medical costs. New home sales slip, hurting builders such as Pulte. Durable goods orders rise sharply.-end. People, the first step to changing is knowing.

Why are people so upset that some people happen to care about about Arabs as well as Jews? Isn't that the noble, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, pagan, moral, just plain decent thing to do? Children are being killed here. Why fan the flames of war and hate? If you know, please tell me why?

Ok so Me and this guy want each other sooooo badly. he has a gf and I am leaving the state for another college and all we plan on doing is sharing one kiss before i leave. but thats not what i am typing about...

I saw him at work when he came back from vacation and he was like i want to see you out of work, so i am like ok i will send u a facebook message tonight we can go to a baseball game tomorrow or six flags thursday and he was like i'm down.

So I sent him a message asking him to please get back and say if he couldn't go because i would invite some other guy who wouldn't be as cute as himself.

He never got back to me at all. I have no prob with him not being able to go or even not wanting to i am just pissed he never messanged me back, i sent him a text to look @ it.

With any other guy i would be like f#ck off but I really want to kiss him once before I leave.
I work with him for 1 hour tomorrow. Should I tell him I am pissed or pretend like nothing is wrong.

If you watched your local news (not CNN or Fox News) but your area's local News channel...i was wondering...What was your top story this evening?

This would be good to see if we are all on the same page when it comes to news. We will compare if the news was positive or negative. Was it a local story or a worlwide story. Was it a sports story or health or crime, etc...

let the local news top stories begin...

I was listening to an Israel radio station over the net and they were saying that there were multiple suicide bombers that tried to enter from the Gaza Strip and blow themselves up on buses, in crowded areas, etc. etc. but those attempts failed.

Impressive that Israel is now able to spot and stop those senseless cowards before they do that...but what gets me is that none of my local news channels covered this, either did radio news, newspapers nor CNN or FoxNews which i constantly watch during the day while working.

You would think Israel would love to say, "See! look...just another reason why these guys ARE TERRORISTS!"

...maybe this is Israel attempt not to make it public, in an effort to stop other copycats who would like to follow or gain notoriaty as a suicide bomber....i dunno....

Has anyone else out there heard of this recent activity in your area?

Has anyone gotten these creepy phone calls of people asking for your social security number, other phone #, etc.
These people aren't even good at conning, they are really rude and demanding. The least they could do is act natural.

These illicit callings are really annoying, do they have anything better to do.
It is a gamble for them, telling them they want to speak to my brother, saying he owes money, when I don't have one...
They call asking for money and stuff.
You know it's fake because when you ask for their number they avoid it, and insist on yours.
Ahhhhhh, what do I do, without going through all the trouble...
Hope I'm not the only one...
Thanks in advance... ^_^

I keep hearing US news presenters referring to "I-Rock." Where is this place? There seems to be a lot of fighting there. Is it anywhere near Iraq?
