"Can a liberal please explain this to me?
I work in the restaurant industry in a very liberal area in the the South. Most of my employees are very young, which would also explain why they are liberals. Sorry...cheap shot. I want to sponsor a needy family for Thanksgiving and Christmas, so I went to the employees and asked the servers if they could donate a dollar a shift over the next two months to support this cause. I also said that I would match what they raised. Most of them did not want to do this because they didn't think it was their responsibility. Who's is it? Government's? Can someone explain the mentality here? I just get irked when I see this behavior.

Thanks for the excuses of not helping others out. By the way, most of the opposition came from students that come from upper middle class families that can afford to give. They would rather spend it going out getting drunk. Thank you for proving my point."

Hillary joked about Gandhi working at a gas station... is she racist?

Why the double standard? Is it because she's a woman?

note: the kind of alarm you'd find in a movie where an atomic bomb goes off....something like a disaster alarm.

and what they say it is, is if you have a home with a mortgage of say 500, and your home can easily go for 2500, the government can charge you for what they couldve made on your home at the end of the year on taxes...it would be considered as income, the difference between what you pay and what the government says the market value is...i googled the word puditive income and punitive income and got nothing...does anyone know what the exact phrase is?

I went to MEPs and got screened and they told me that my hearing in one ear is kinda bad, and i couldnt join the military yet, but there is a chance of getting it waivered and get in, but the only reason i wanted to go in was to try to become a Navy SEAL. So i asked if i did get in, is there a chance of becoming a SEAL and they said no, because the hearing is to bad in that ear. But the thing is, i hear good, i dont have any trouble hearing anything at school, work or anything. I use ear phones and mics with that ear and everything. I know i could do it if they gave me the chance. Is there any way of getting past it, and getting into the SEALs?

And please don't say that all the video footage and photographs have been doctored because pictures of the plane have even been published on the front cover of national US magazines.

He still insists Rumsfield and Cheney are doing 'fantastic' jobs, even as the 'war' is out of control.
Did this smirking imbecile change the meaning of 'conservative' too, just as he changed the meaning of 'lies'?

Okay this doesn't make sense to me. Why does the military have a cut off in age to become enlisted to officer. I know some Staff Sgt.'s that have their masters degree but have to answer to officers with a bachlors degree. Why doesn't the military let them become officer after the 28 year old cut off that at least the Marine Corp has. It would seem that the military would want their enlisted to become better educated but there are little to no incentives to do so. Granted they get a few points towards their cutting score at first, and it looks better when they go in front of the board but it doesn't gaurentee them the next rank. What do you think?

I just don't understand why everyone can't call themselves a moderate and listen to both sides (or more), and decide from there.
