That Clinton's legacy is one of peace and prosperity, while Bush's legacy will be failed wars, failed security, lies and devastation for the bottom 95% income bracket?

I have medications that didn't work out for me... I get migraines & depression, and they have tested me on certain drugs-that just didn't work right. Most the medications, I have bought with my own money (with insurance) and then, I have SAMPLE packs given to my by the doctor.

I have them stored up in my house because I can not bear to throw them away knowing that so MANY people can not afford to pay for prescriptions, yet I am pretty sure I can not advertise them for someone to take-- b/c they are prescription and I am not a doctor.... Is there any place that take donations of that sort? I have blood pressure medication, medication that treats depression, and medications that treat seizures... They are all still "good", as I am STILL in the process of finding the right combo. It sucks to just throw them away, I know people struggle to pay for these EXACT medications. Just curious, if anyone had a suggestion.

on electricity or heat as long has you use some sort of offset . Like green power credits or zero carbon footprint? I think it is a bunch of BS. Conserve or don't. There is no way it can be balanced. Is it?

The labour lot have introduced a tax so that you can no longer listen to UK radio without the station paying a swingeing tax. Can anybody let me know of a free IP bender that allows me to give a UK address. The google ones do NOT work.

The Florida Lotto raised 1.2 billion dollars for education last year. If the state had decided to impose a tax to raise that money people would have cried like babies....but give them a 1 in 14 million chance at 'gettin rich' and they gladly fork over their money. Does this make any sense?

In October 1999, a white man named Troy Knapp was attacked by a mob of black men wielding pipes and trash cans, while riding his bike with a companion in Charleston, SC. Knapp was beaten so severely that part of his skull and brain had to be removed, leaving him barely functional.

Witnesses told Knapp's family that after white police officers arrested a black suspect in connection with the shootings, someone in a group of people was heard saying: "Yeah, we are going to get us a white boy." Seventeen suspects were arrested and charged with second-degree lynching. However, local prosecutor David Schwacke commented, "We haven't been able to establish hate as a motive."

According to a Fox News report, Schwacke, "acknowledged that if it had been 17 white suspects and two black victims, hate would more likely be considered a motive." The report went on to note that, "Federal hate-crime law could apply in this case, but seven months after the incident the U.S. attorney's office in South Carolina is not even considering charges."



Many incidents that are virtually ideantical to this have occured across the country. It is time to end the discrimination. If we are all equal, then we should all be treated equally. You can see that Hate crimes against whites are not being filed as such. As the article mentioned, if it were a white on black crime, hate would have been considered as a motive. And 9 and a half chances out of 10 the courts would have said hate was the motive. We need to stand up against this discrimination against white Americans.

"The United States does not torture" "It's against our laws, and it's agaisnt our values. I have not authorized it-and will not authorize it."

These are the words of George W. Bush regarding the detention of terror suspects.

Before anyone says the torture is neccessary to protect us I have to ask,

There is proof without a doubt that the U.S. carries out torture and that President Bush is either authorizing it or turning a blind eye. Regardless the U.S. does carry out torture. So anyone outraged by this fact can't feel any better hearing Bush say these kind of things. So why not just admit to it, sicne there is proof?

So how do can we trust anything he says or does? This is a disgrace to the United States and will only bring trouble.

Are we fighting or inciting terror?

PLEASE don't say because they hate America or are living in the stone age. I don't know anything about why they hate us but I know enough about humanity to know it is probably very logical but clouded with hatred so half the message is lost to us.

I have had a cat scan and my Dr will not release the results to me, even when I personally request them WITH identification. Do I have any course of action against him, when the office claims the only way they will release them is if I schedule an appointment, and pay for another visit. I do not WANT another visit, I just want my test results!

She did not like me, but with time she realized that I really liked her. After A year and seven months we have had our arguments, but on Sunday I told her that I haven't been feeling the same with the college right around the corner. I had her finally, she told me she loved me she looked at me and cried because she was so happy with me. I felt like that at one point but when she expressed her feelings I was scared. I couldn't respond the same way without lying. After telling her that I didn't feel the same way, that something was missing she cried and told me to take two weeks to think about things. After an hour I was ok and told her not to worry about anything. Then on Tuesday I was being mean to her and she got mad. She told me to leave her house and I did, on the way home she told me that she had enough and that she didn't want to talk to me anymore. The next day I bought her a diamond ring and she didn't accept it, after she said no she told me that she realized she didn't love me

Just because he was the mayor of NYC during 9-11 does this qualify him for the presidency of the whole country? I thought he wasn't even that good of a mayor before 9-11.

I know that Doctors do wonderful things for people that are from other Countries, they fly them here (including their families) and don't have to pay a dime, and these pepole are getting major surgery. Yet we pay throught the nose, and some people don't have Health Ins. because they cannot afford it. It just seems unfair. How do you feel?

If we leave them alone, they will leave us alone?

Carl Deen’s suggestion that if America simply pulled the troops out of all of the Islamic countries, the Islamofascists would forgive, forget, and leave us alone is typical of the ‘peace at any price’ crowd. America has made foreign policy mistakes in the past, no question. But does anyone seriously believe that if we say ‘we’re sorry’ the Islamofascists will forgive us? These people haven’t forgiven Europe for the Crusades for crying out loud!

The Islamofascists grudge against the West generally and America specifically is by no means limited to America’s actions in ‘Allah’s land.’ The Islamofascists do in fact hate America and Western culture because its freedoms are an anathema to the teachings of Islam. America is often referred to as ‘the great Satan’ because America is very liberal when it comes to rights of women, the freedom of religion, the separation of church (mosque) and state, and representative government.

Islamofascists are afraid that our ‘decadence’ will spill over into their counties and undermine their precious holy laws. I am aware that it’s not PC to say anything negative about one’s religion but the Quran itself states many times that non-Muslims are to be converted, enslaved, or killed. If you don’t believe me, read it yourself here.
