Conservatives always rant that there is "blind" hatred for Bush. (their only defense for deflecting valid criticism) Well, I have several rational reasons for not liking him.

First and foremost, He's inarticulate, coarse, dimwitted and I'm sick and tired of him representing this proud country to the rest of the world. I'm embarrassed by him and pissed off about it.

He has also done enormous damage to American prestige and good will throughout the world.

Nothing "blind" or "irrational" about that. And that's just for starters.

Throwing us into a needless war for WMD's (lol) that did not have to be fought is another.

3,000 troops needlessly dead is another. I could go on....

What are your reasons?

In other words, is there any incentive for them to pay the ticket or can they just go on without fear of recourse from a foreign governent.

I'm not trying to agitate or anything...I just can't understand why it fell, when it had minimal damage and buildings 5&6 had A LOT more damage and remained standing. And, why did it fall free-fall like it did? Steel framed buildings with minimal damage don't just fall into their own footprint at free fall speed (unless of course it is a controlled demolition), except for on 9/11. Does anyone even remember seeing what the collapsing of it looked like? Someone please explain this to me and please understand that calling me a conspiracy theory whack-job does not explain to me why WTC 7 fell.

I went o the bank to dispute 2 charges from PM-FASTAUCTION.COM and PM-KEYWORD SUSCESS.COM, and was given the web address WWW.IFCCFBI.GOV to report fraud. The website already had both these sites listed. The bank also suggested I check earlier statements, and sure enough they have been hitting me for the past 3 mo. for $1-$3 charges totaling $124. The only place they could have gotten my account info was from PayPal. Why can't the FCC close these crooks down

Would the New Black Panthers and Nation of Islam adherents be offended if this conference took place in Birmingham, Alabama?
Would you be offended if this gathering garnered world-wide attention?
Is this comparable to Ahmadinejad and Duke's recent event concerning the Holocaust?

I know they are all deceased.But the government has no provisions for wreaths,markers,memorials-nothing.Yet you see U.S. officials attending solemn services for German war dead,Japenese,pardon me Japanese{I wouldn't want to offend any of the federal governments former enemies by spelling their name incorrectly} who died in nuclear {or nuculer} attacks.George bush in vietnam{better late then never} uWhy not forgive your own citizens,and their decendents?Even Abe Lincoln said,after being asked to set the tone for reconstruction:"I'd let them up easy" or Robert E. Lee:Now ya'll go home and become good Americans.So how about it,Should the fedaral government & the Veterans administration forgive and forget?They always accuse the southerners of keeping the rebellion alive,-how about them?Should they recognize these brave soldiers who lost their life &limb fighting for their states rights ?

I don't see how adding 30,000 troops, or even 300,000, can ever stop the two tribes from hating and killing each other. Their conflicts start a thousand years ago and will last for another thousand years.

Right now they are fighting against each other, but I am afraid that eventually one day they will want to form an allignment to eliminate all foreign troops on their land first, and then go back to their own problems.

Maybe that's when Bush claims the victory?!

I was recently the victim of cheque fraud and received all the cheques to have a look at. The signature on them was all capital letters, all individual whereas mine is just a squiggle....

With this the bank had no choice but to repay me the money. My question however is I still have all the interest charges in the account and I cannot pay it back, but the bank are insisting that I do. Surely if the bank accept that the cheques were forged n I was eventually not liable for the money then they should not hold me responsible for the charges that this built up?

That is, conservatives tell anyone that doesn't love Bush to love our country or leave it. Why didn't the conservatives move to Canada during Clinton's 8 years? Are conservatives hypocrites?

Originally I thought it was because it would cause them to loose there tax-exempt status. But clearly that isn't the case despite what the IRS director is currently threatening.

If the reason churchs are tax exempt is actually to protect the church, then where is the logic that they can't participate in a political discussion?

Churches have legal precedent in these cases.

If so, are you going to join in the class action lawsuits against ebay and bargainland?

I was contacted by another ebay person who is gathering people for this purpose. the email is buzzbbird@hotmail.com for more info.

Don't you think that ebay should take some responsibility for a 'business' that has scammed over 20 thousand people?

Do you think that a business like that (bargainland) should not be allowed to hide its owners behind a corporate shield for they are the ones who make the decisions that the 'company' implements?

let me know and contact that guy so these crooks can get stopped once and for all.

I joined my boyfriend at his friends Christmas meal on thursday in a restaurant in East London- (a curry house with no alcohol license- I did not drink). I took my camera along to take pictures for them, but in the end another friend had a camera, so I didn't even take mine out of my hand bag. I left my bag unattended once when I went to the ladies, but it was at a table with 8 of his very close friends. We then caught a taxi, a tube, a train and a bus home. I have discovered today that my camera is gone. There is no doubt that it has been stolen, but where from I have no idea. I have checked my insurance details and I am covered for personal items. I need to tell the police to get a crime reference number, but I don't know whether to just pin point the theft to either the restaurant ( who say they don't have it) or on the train say. If I'm too vague, they may just say I lost it and not give me the number. I don't want the insurance company to wriggle out of this. Any ideas what to do?

How much of a difference on the load of the average citizen in terms of taxes because of having to support social service programs like WIC, food stamps and medicaid for anchor babies? How much of a difference in school tax because of the burden to educate these lawbreakers and their children in border states? Does anyone have a site with statistics?
