Most Y!A sections are ok but I read some seriously stupid ideas here. I'd have to estimate the average IQ around here in the low 80s. What's your estimate?

Do any liberals doubt for one second that if their political leaders called for mass executions of liberals, intellectuals, and other non-christian dissidents, several of the conservative posters on this site would stand back and let it happen?

Ever been forced to wear the equivalent of a heavy jacket in 120 degree weather under an IBA and helmet, with an EXTRA lining?
Or trying to access awkwardly positioned pockets?
Or Instead of having zippers for emergency removal, having buttons?
Or one of the thousand other problems
It just seems the ABUs were meant for the harsh temperature-controlled environment of the Pentagon and not so much for the hell-inspired inferno-like environment of any of our current war zones.
I'm not complaining, but a name-change would be appropriate; how about Airman PowerPoint uniform (APU)?

I always shop at ebay to buy stuff that I need. Most sellers I dealed with were pretty good. Even tho we don't communicate much, at least they would ship out my items asap. But this ebay seller, albertmacaw....lol I really want to call him ebay noob! He won't apologize when he delayed my shipment for nearly 3 weeks (and I still haven't receive it yet) . I've been sending him numbers of email since 6/4/2007, and he finally replied me on 6/20/2007. I even tried to be nice telling him where the problem is and suggesting where he needs to improve in order to keep his customers. But does he ever care? I cut and paste all the messages into 1 gif file so you guys can see how rude this seller is. (Polly = me, Bob = seller)

Tell me what you guys think of him. I would want to sue him for what he said at the very end. That's totally being racist! That's not against me only. He's against all the people who got non American last name

For example, cons say social spending does not reduce poverty, but instead does the opposite. They say it increases poverty.

The FACTS show otherwise.

During the liberal 1960s with JFK's "New Frontier" and LBJ's "Great Society" programs, the poverty rate was almost cut in HALF!

It went from 22.2% in 1960 to 12.8% in 1968. The second biggest drop was under Clinton. It went from 14.8% in 1992 to 11.3% in 2000. Of course, the biggest drop probably happened under FDR and his New Deal policies. Unfortunately no data is available for those times.

On the other hand, poverty stayed the same under Reagan and increased under both Bush's.

That leaves the Iraq's with 20% and the American taxpayer with 0. Hmmmmm I guess the taxpayers won't be getting any reimbursement and the oil companies will make out like bandits. I wonder how long GW will be out of office before he gets his big pay day, I bet that first year of speeches is gonna be a dousy.

Around 3 months ago I was on drugs working at walmart and had my drug dealer come into the store and give me a few dollars at the register acting like he was purchasing a giftcard for 300.00, I got busted, at first denying it and after seeing the video for myself and told that if i didnt tell the lp (loss prevention) personel the truth that he would call the cops, which was also a big no no due to me having a warrant for failure to pay fines for driving on a suspended license, admitted everything, at that point the lp tells me the cops are on there way and that incase he didnt mention it I dont have to stay and wait that im free to leave but that id probably not make it out the door and if i did that the cops would come to my house and get me, well I left and now three months later the cops showed up to arrest me at my home, I was not there, but talked to the detective and was told that if I promised to meet him and discuss the matter he wont arrest me? I know what I did was wrong ???

My ownhumble views are as follows--
1. About Indiraji, when she dismembered Pakistan , was praised as 'Durga' by Atal Behari Bajpai himself. Very soon, that Durga
showed her "vikraal roop" through Emergency equally to friends & foes.


2. As for Mme Sonia, she has no intellect, erudition, patriotism , bravery or valor even in the minimum. She personifies harsh vindictiveness, egocentricity, dishonesty , mendacity,utter selfishness ,falsehoods & a tendency to resort to song & dance at the drop of the hat.
By fluke, she won power for the dilapitated Congress , & they are now worshipping her as Durga. Next time she will be in the dustbin, they will be the first to ditch her.

' Chaar din ki chandani, fir andheri raat.'
Kindly let me have your considered opinion on this Modern age Durga ( ? ).

Why do so many people on YA say that Liberals are to "blame" for PC? And what if we do say something that is NOT PC? What happens? Who MAKES you say anything at all? What "punishment" is there for NOT being PC? And what's so wrong with not insulting people we don't even know?

I drive a Scion tC with an agressive body kit and a wing, I dont have any illegal modifications as far as I know.

But this is my 4th time in 3 days getting pulled over for no reason by these motorcycle idiots, which they ask me questions about my car whats on it, etc, they even made me pop my hood for the 4th time and search the bottom of my car, but for the 4th time they havent find anything and just let me go.

Im so frustrated with this profiling, I was actually late from work today because of them!

Any cops around here?

things while worshippers are attending Mass! Why are they intruding on ones religion and not getting arrested for disturbing the peace and threatening death to a Holy Man? I am disgusted and why is this being allowed to go on when people just want to go to church and worship? WHy are they getting away with this? And why are not people rioting in front of mosques there ? Because troublemamking Muslims are the only ones who hate freedom of religion and they are a virus who need to be cut off at the mouth and now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone honestly believe that GW is a Conservative? While he is far better than the idiots the left trotted out, he would never be worthy of licking the bootstraps of a real Conservative like Reagan or Buckley.

Just thought I would lighten the atmosphere.
I'll share my most . I had to go to NATO headquarters, I went with the General. I had all my notes and papers in order, I had my uniform in top condition. It was raining, I was wearing those stupid female shoes, I slipped on the steps. Everything flew out of my hands.
Notes were soaked, My uniform a mess.
I was given compassion. The top brass forgave it. But they did toast to me forever as the woman who couldn't walk up steps.
