Condi goes from the Chevron director to a high level job in the white house! Then Oil profits are off the charts! I smell a rat.

Why is this ok with so many people? Chevron is a huge corporation driven by profits. There are thousands of people better qualified to work in the white house "for the people, by the people"!

I've been fighting with my friend who says that its never illegal to call someone a name. Freedom of speech only gets you so far. Maybe blurting a name real quick isn't illegal, but if you make it personal and use the name? Isn't that harrassment or something?

May Day is used by Communist nations to promote their way of Life. In America, it is one of the most hated day. Not only because of its communist connotation, but that many who wish to overthrough the American government, has used it to promote their agenda and to initiate violence. Since the 50's it has become a day to show hatred towards America and its way of life. Immigrant support groups choose that day to hold protest. I personnally don't believe in coincidence. I also am divided on the immigration issue, since they do improve the economy, but they also lower wages . I doubt the majority of the immigrants know the significance of May day, but I do believe there are a few who should. I did check wikipedia on my facts and do understand that Western Europeans celebrate it as labor day but they still have a socialistic attitude towards this holiday. If you are not American, please state your nation of origin. For Americans, please state your immigration status.

How can you call Bush's tax cut a real tax cut when he can't pay for them? You can not put America's tax cut on America's credit card and call it a tax cut. If it's not payed for it don't count, all you did was raise the national debt. I can not understand this thought process.

Dear President Kalaam
Let us be honest. Our system is corrupt. Sincere and honest people, like you, have no voice and are powerless.All big guys are busy in looting the nation. The weaker section is getting crushed and suppressed. People are viewing police as the biggest criminals and they are loosing faith in the law & order machinery. You are a great hero for us and kindly answer this question.

WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?

Eventhough this question is for our president, i welcome others also to kindly give your opinions and suggestions.

I had driven probably 5 blocks to get a camera from where I had been. I was on my way back when this happened: so he saw an x on my hand and made me get out and do a breathalizer, well I had had a taste of my friends drink and blew a .01. I'm not making excuses for what I did, stupid. Yes. I was just wondering if anyone has had this happened and what to expect in court and my best options as to what to do there? I'm 19 turning 20 soon, and ahh... I already kenw better but made a stupid impulsive decision and am willing to pay the consequences but would like to lessen them as much as possible? The name of the ticket was 'not a drop'. Yeah.

That when Cheney drinks water, Bush can't speak?
And when Bush speaks, you can just barely see Cheney's mouth move.
Scarey.

It's ridiculous! People sue over namecalling. A woman sued McDonald's because she spilled her coffee and it burned her, and the cup didn't warn her that the coffee was hot. Did she really think she was being served iced coffee?

A woman sued Disney World because her young child saw Goofy take off his head in a backroom and the child had "emotional damages."

So why do judges award damages for things so stupid?

I think what these people need is to be beaten with a metal rod. Then they will have legitimate "damages."

Hollywood is so liberal that even today many liberals embrace socialism, communism and any other fascist type socio-political systems.

Past nominees include Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, Benito Mussolini and Fidel Castro. That is nothing to brag about my friends and is why the Nobel Peace Prize is a joke.

Has the British Government contributed to this by creating another Thatcher culture where people are more selfish and less socially responsible.

"It is appalling that we have a Deputy Prime Minister whose values are such that he is know as 'Two Jags', and Cherie Blair charges round an Australian supermarket collecting goods from the shelves for free. On top of that, the Blairs rarely seem to pay for their own holidays. It is a grab-it-and-run attitude that has led to a general atmosphere of greater selfishness."

what do you think ????

Think about it...

Satan wouldn't care if there were WMD therefore there would be no war to get rid of them.

Satan would not have cared about the twin towers, therefore there would not have been anything done about terrorism.

Satan would pretend to want to give the people what they want, letting the people think that what he initiates was all their idea.

Satan is the king of lies so EVERYONE (who did not believe in Satan or did not read the bible/prepare for him) would believe everything he said.

Satan would trick all of them into doing and thinking what he wanted so that they believed he was the best thing for this country.

I mean, Bush haters hate Bush because of the war basically. Am I right or wrong? Maybe I'm wrong. Anyway. If I am right, and Satan doesn't care enough to fight for what is really right through war, then you would be happier with him being president because he didn't put us in war. Right?

How many thumbs down I will get for this one?All Bush hater I'm sure.
