The Department of Defense wants to build an implantable bio-chip to relay health information in the event of a trauma. Would you get one.. knowing that it could save your life?

For those that are going to jump to doomsday prophecy.. it doesn't say anything about tracking.. for all we know from the information given it would only be readable inside the hospital.. there's just no info to say one way or the other. Now that's not to say I'll be in the line. I am curious to everyone's thoughts on this though.

Bush, Clinton, & Nixon who were involved in some type of scandal? Those are the only ones I've heard about.

We received a memo today from my employer that someone had sent personal info including ss #'s via email from work to an unrecognized email address. Coincidentally, our benefits person mysteriously was fired a little over a week ago. What rights do I have and what can I do to protect myself. I already have alerts set up for my credit report.

I need to get my fingerprints taken the old-fashioned way (with an ink pad) for a passport application but it seems that the police no longer do the ink fingerprints. Anyone know where I can get this taken in London?

Some experts are reporting that there is some improvement in Iraq, and that things are slowing getting better.

Do you agree?

Is the troop surge working somewhat?

both in this forum and at the national political level? It strikes me that anyone who truly cares about this country should care about it more than their allegiance to a particular political party. I consider myself a Democrat, and i am not ashamed of the term liberal. I am not interested in what any of you think this means about me, because the fact is that you don't know me or my belief system. Let's try to raise the bar here, please.

My parents are divorced and I live with my dad. After my parents divorced my mom got into a great deal of debt and apparently her creditors no longer have her phone number so they are constantly calling my dad's house asking for her. At first I told them she didn't live here and then tried telling them they have the wrong number but they continue to call. I guess they think I am her and I'm lying to them because the last time I told them they had the wrong number they just laughed and hung up. How can we get them to stop calling? Are they violating any laws by harassing individuals that do not owe them money???

So, I have succumbed to the liberal way of thinking. I understand their point of view and I think now is the time do act upon it.

All of my life I have worked hard. I have done the things needed to get me through life without any aid from the government or handouts from my fellow Americans. But, I have seen how those that are pro-illegal (er..pro-amnesty) want to hand tax payer dollars out to those here illegally and I think, as an American, I should take advantage of this opportunity as well.

I mean, my husband and I both work full time and I go to school full time. We pay our own health care, our own daycare during the summer, I pay for my tuition out of my pocket ($15,000.00 a year) and I also pay for my son's tuition for private school (that's another $4000.00 a year). I have served my country, 6 years active duty Navy and I am tired. I am tired of paying taxes to support those that are illegally in this country, or those that will not help themselves.

So, here it goes.

My husband and I are getting a divorce. No need for that pesky marriage getting in the way of our entitlements from the government.

I am quitting my job. Why work when I can get things handed to me from the government.

I am applying for HUD so that my rent will only be $50.00 a month. I have seen the places that take HUD and Section 8…not shabby….some are actually nicer than where we are living now.

I am going to get government medical, well since I am not working, I won't have insurance....and you KNOW that it is the taxpayers responsibility to insure my kid (even though you didn't have him)

I am going to get food stamps…got to feed that kid that I can't afford.

And to top it off…now since I am on welfare….MY SCHOOL IS FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woooo hoooooo

Talk about a deal.

So thanks all of you bleeding hearts…you have helped me see that light. I now realize that personal responsibility is WAY over rated and something that I can do without.

I mean, if the illegals and their anchor babies are getting all this…why can't I?

But, of course, my husband is still going to live with me, so we will still have his income on top of what we are getting from the government. We just don't want that "marriage" thingy getting in the way of all our freebies.

Gubment cheese….yummy.

(Sung to the theme The Beverly Hillbillies)

Well let me tell ya all a story bout a man named Bush
Fooled all of his supporters and turned their brains to mush
Then in Iraq while he was shootin at a dude
He stole from the ground all their bubbling crude

Oil that is
Black gold, Texas tea

Well the next thing you now old Dick’s a billionaire
His kin folk said Dick move away from there
Said Dubai is the place you aught to be
So he packed up Halliburton and moved to UAE

Pools of cash, harem girls

The Crawford Hillbillies
(Guitar)

End Chorus
Well now its time to say goodbye to Bush and all his kin
The Liberals all jumped for joy he won’t be back again
Their not invited back again for anything politically
To abuse our Constitution or our Civil Liberties


Don’t take your shoes off or stay a while – Ya all don’t come back now
Ya hear!


Impeach!

Peace out

Are we getting too close to having a state religion?

Do you think there's not enough religion in politics?

Why do you feel the way you do regarding this subject?

I hear posters at YA saying, "Nuke Iran!" or nuke this country... or that country. Do you think they have the slightest idea what they're saying? Would you support a nuclear attack on another country? Would you be willing to accept the consequences?

Do you know what the consequences would be?

Have you noticed how people tend to ask a question about a political topic but then go on to give feedback which clearly shows that they've not only already made up their mind, but clearly have very strong opinions on the subject.

I answered one which seemed to want everyones opinion but after all the answers were in, the person went through them person by person defending one viewpoint.
I'm not just talking specificly about the questions I've taken part in but from the "resolved" ones I've looked at.
