Here is the full scoop. Bought a helicopter from egrandbuy.com. This was for my child for christmas. It never worked. I called the number on the website, faxed a letter to the fax number and left 15 messages for someone to call me. NO one ever did. On my 16th call I got a guy who could hardly speak English who told me to try several things and if they did not work to call him back on 1-02-2007. Well of course nothing worked. I have tried to call the number again since 1/2/2007. I now get a message that the memory on the voice mail is full. I have spent at least $35.00 on phone calls. I have been to 3 hobby shops to try and figure out what is wrong with helicopter. This has cost at least a tank of gas. If anyone has any suggestions they will be appreciated. The worse part is Yahoo Shopping had superior reviews for the customer...Please help....if not I am out at least $300.....1 more thing about the number...it rings then pauses and starts another distant ring ...like a transfer.

There are no relevant similarities whatsoever in terms of the actual war we are fighting on the ground right now. First of all there is NO single clearly identifiable enemy in a uniform. There is no country or central government to attack. There is no infrastructure to cripple.

The war on terror and the war on Iraq are more like Viet Nam and the War on Drugs than anything else. It's guerilla warfare in an urban environment and it's a vague theorehtical war agaist a philosophy.

What makes people think that blind perserverence alone will "win" any conflict. Are people that ignorant that they cannot see this is NOT WW2. Saddam was not Hitler. Get a clue guys, come on!

I realize you like the romantic association with "the greatest generation" and a good old fashioned war where you know who the enemy is and everyone plays by the conventional rules of warfare and whoever fights hardest wins but THIS AINT THAT KIND OF WAR.

When will the republican brain trust realize this?

The cost jumps to over a billion a year if you include county jails. Those illegal aliens are in prison because they committed crimes. The amount listed does not include court costs.

Seems like this could be a new reason for illegal
s organisms to come here? This would be/could be called immigration due to refugee status?
I'm concerned, this could be a problem!
I suppose this would allow us to go in and take over Mexico as they had been overtaken by Drug King pins. To fix Mexico and give it back to the Mexcians. Kinda like we are doing in Iraq, Right?

Before any republicans mindlessly mention any other names without a single reason for their opinions (the kind of thing each of them do almost every response), please take a look at what filth Ann Coulter wrote in her novel, "Godless: The Church of Liberalism". (Everything in her book is a rant, including the title...I'm sure you know that most liberals and conservatives alike are Christian).

If so, read this letter someone wrote to him. I was crying I was laughing so hard. Maybe this guy should run for president in 08'!

Dear Jesse Jackson
Posted: September 19, 2006
1:00 a.m. Eastern
Dear Rev. Jackson:
I read with interest your Sept. 12, 2006, article "Goodwill, unity, money have been squandered since Sept. 11," which appeared in the Chicago Sun-Times. I do not object, as such, to your poisonous screed directed at President Bush. I object to the substance that so freely flows from your mouth and that can best be likened unto that which is consistent with encopresis albeit in your case, the malady can hardly be defined as involuntary.
You purport yourself to be a minister a reverend a so-called man of God but a minister is a servant and a reverend is a member of the clergy, which means said individual is to be obedient unto the God he serves. If one serves the "god" of chaos, deceit, lies, whore-mongering, dysfunction, greed and resentment then perhaps within ecclesiastical environs it can be said you serve well. Apart from same being the case, you are antithetical of everything that can remotely be identified as a biblical servant of the true "Living God." But I get ahead of myself.
In the piece you wrote, our military is "stranded ? [in Iraq] with inadequate training and inadequate direction." On what did you base that premise? On what basis do you brand the finest all-volunteer military in the history of civilization as poorly trained and inept? Or was your statement an effluence based on an apriori moment designed to gain political p oints for the upcoming election?
You spoke of "catastrophic climate change, global pandemics and unsustainable trade deficits" but you never make mention of the catastrophic zeitgeist that has wreaked havoc and "more economic damage" upon the community you self-servingly claim to represent. You are never heard making reference to the "pandemic" level of black on black crime, black abortion rates, black single-parent homes (albeit you contributed to those numbers) and black criminal behavior, all of which threatens the future of blacks as a whole.
You wrote that the president, "instead of asking Americans to sacrifice to meet the challenge [of 9/11] ? called on them, literally, to go shopping." You condescendingly wrote, "He allowed business as usual to go on in Washington." I ask you how much more could Americans have sacrificed than watching their innocent family members and co-citizens perish? How much more sacrifice could the president have called upon the people to make? Or by sacrifice were you saying that the president could have called upon Americans to give more pints of blood or more supplies to charity groups that were immediately besieged with donations? Perhaps you reasoned that ordinary people performing extraordinary acts of volunteerism and acts of mercy were not sacrifice enough. Or were you suggesting that President Bush should have ordered everyone to hide under their kitchen tables and quake in fear?
What part of the American spirit do you perceive wasn't grieving after those attacks? What do you believe the people of Washington and its metropolitan area experienced daily as they commuted past the final resting place of those aboard United Flight 77? What would you have done differently? How would you have displayed leadership?
In the article, you spoke of the 9/11 commission being "nonpartisan": Does that include Richard Ben-Veniste and Jamie Gorelick? You derided the very intelligence tools that have prevented terrorist attacks on our soil since 9/11. You intentionally and erroneously labeled domestic eavesdropping "warrantless wiretapping," never mentioning that it prevented Lyman Farris from blowing up the Brooklyn Bridge , was instrumental in protecting the Sears Towers and was key in uncovering the UK suicide bombers' plan to blow up 10 international passenger planes just one month ago.
You blame the president for bringing "discredit to the nation across the world." My question to you is, who brought discredit on the nation in 1979 when we had a president who betrayed a trusted ally and was unable to free Americans held hostage . Who brought "discredit" on America in the years preceding 9/11, as the mongrel followers of a pedophile and false god bombed American interests around the world? Is President Bush to blame for the 1993 World Trade Tower bombings?


You referred to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld as "ugly and dishonest." I ask you, is that not a more appropriate self-description? You are the man who rubbed the blood of a fallen hero on your clothing and then lied, saying he died in your arms. Shall we outline your financial dealings?
You claim the president's credibil! ity is g one, when in truth it is you who has no credibility. President Bush is fulfilling the role of his office. But as a minister, can the same be said of you? Are you fulfilling God's prescripts for the priestly office you claim to hold? How many people have you personally led to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ? How many people have you preached the salvation message to?
What have you done to bring glory and honor to the name of Christ? Is that what you were doing as you paraded your pregnant mistress around the White House while supposedly ministering to a president taken with sexual sin of his own?
"Goodwill, unity, money" have indeed been squandered, but not since 9/11. They have been squandered on you and your morally depraved kind. You claim a title that should offer "hope," but instead you offer fool's parsley.
My prayer for you would be, and is, that you would confess the error of your ways while there is yet time, because the "Living God" takes a dim view of those who intentionally lead his children astray.
Sincerely,
Mychal S. Massie
P.S. I am available to debate you, anywhere, on the relative principles of your ersatz theology versus true Christianity.

With the U.S. catching Sadam then turning him over to Iraq, has the U.S. now included Bounty Hunting as the new game plan? Why didn't we try Sadam, isn't that why we supposedly entered Iraq to call him on terrorist activity in the U.S.? Oh, how much reward did we get from Iraq?

Ok I was driving the other day and my car hit the back of another car, actually it was not a hit but just a scratch, the lady came out of the car and took my informations and stuff.. Then she called a cop I don't know why ..anyway he took our informations etc...

then I went to the insurance company and informed them about it.. Now they sent me an insured statement of automobile loss. I haven't asked for that though because there was no damage to my car..

So the question is in this case, is it the one has his car damaged that should contact my insurance company or is it me?

Thank you.

Some things the president has done are obvious, but he has also used certain protections. Is government afraid of the word "impeach"? What makes them so fearful? Is it partially because so many of them followed the lead of others rather than their own brains in supporting the Iraq invasion?

I work for a bank. I was robbed in May of last year. Since it happened, I have said that the bank did not have adequate securtiy measures. They never caught the criminal. Instead they put me thru a lie detector test and a one on one session with the fbi. Finally, they dropped it. In December of the same year, I was let go for a petty reason. I feel like I was discriminated against. They told me that I was a good worker but it was something the bank had to do. I live in Oklahoma where employment is at-will, but considering the robbery in May, could I possibly have myself a law suit?
