I am frustrated by the blackout restrictions. I live in Indiana so I'm prone to blackouts for Reds, Cubs and White Sox. When these teams are at home, I have no problem with blackout rules. When they are on the road why should I be held to a blackout when I don't live in these blackout areas. Also, do blackout rules apply if the game sells out? I am already thinking about starting a petition drive next year in front of MLB parks to protest this crap. Just gets more obnoxious every year.

I went to the South recently to visit and I do admit that I am a city girl but when I went there I thought I wasn't in the United States anymore but a 3rd world country. There's a lot of trees and the roads were so cracked that the car ride was rather bumby. There were also a lot of huge bugs which included in me being bitten many times. The people there talk very slow and seem very suspicous to tourists. I hated how they'd spit and talk in a strange type of country slang. I also noticed that majority of them were overweight and the average woman had up to 7 wild children. People always talk about the Southern Belle but I will tell you this there is no such thing! The girls are so ugly and they all look dirty. I saw no mall but there were small stores and their movie theatre looked like a rundown church. Why isn't the government helping these people? They are so poor, uneducated, and keep on having children!

I just had a Bad Experience at a Local Great Clips.
I have been going there for over 5 years.

I don't want to go into Details, but this is my Complaint Bellow:

I have been going to Great Clips for several years, now. They have always done a great job at cutting my hair. I just went to your Michigan Road store at Fortune Park, and had a very bad Experience.

I had a Long Wait, which is normal when Busy. But only one person was waiting, other than I. There were 2 girls there, and they were constantly complaining about how they had nothing to eat since Lunch.

She basically didn't cut the Top, and she said 'OK, your Done.'
That was Not what I payed for!! She said she would call the Police, if I didn't pay the Full Amount!! She was very Disrespectful!! How can I File a Complaint about this Situation?

one person claimed the losers of wwii were isolationists. one person claimed england was not an isolationist because they sent troops to france. they sent men. they did not send planes. they saved their planes to defeat germany OVER england. by isolating they saved their resources. if a powerful and agressive enemy is SO menacing that a response is the only possible answer, then it could be correct. the 9-11 attack killed thousands. the "ENEMY"??????????has been paid back a hundred fold by now. ask the enemy or outside peoples of the world who in their opinion is the aggressor. as world opinion of the united states diminishes, foolish and excessive warfare is the tragedy we all witness.

The US wants to have CANADA be the people who are in charge of food and product safety....And the facts that all of a sudden China is giving us all of these "Tainted" foods. It says in this article on Yahoo that we need the 3 together to better protect us...So what happened to the FDA and WHY is Bush not funding it and it is imploding in on itself because of the underfunding?

Oh, and if you look at the paper trail, the pet foods which killed all those animals came from CANADA...not China like we have been led to believe.

Reason why I am asking these questions is the fact that the USA Constitution DEPENDS on people waking up and stopping this. I am not a turncoat like the people who are supporting the SPP are.

This should be interesting, please cite sources for your claims.

What and how exactly do you believe the government played an integral part in the attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11?

Back in high school, my gov/econ teacher told us you can drink alcohol the night before you actually turn 21...This makes sense to me, so that people won't drink heavily between 12am-2am.

Since I'm turning 21 in a couple weeks, this information would be really helpful.

I was trying to sell my camcorder online to get money to pay the application fee for college back in May. Someone sent me a check for more than what he was supposed to pay & then asked me to cash the check & then Western Union the money back to him. He disguised himself as a woman & only called my house from the computer, so there was no way to track him down. When I went to cash the check, the clerk thought I was trying to play her for a fool, & she called the cops, & I got arrested for "forgery" that I didn't even do. I didn't know that the guy stole someone's business checks & wrote one to me. The judge said I was arrested by mistake. When I got out of jail the next day, the detective said that if this happens to me again, then it WON'T be a mistake for me to go to jail. I could've served 10 yrs. in prison for a felony charge & have to pay $10,000. Now, I don't even believe in accepting checks or money orders from people. This was my 1st experience with this.

Some con said Clinton cut CIA spending to balance the budget, yet his source stated nothing of it.

IN FACT, CIA SPENDING WAS TRIPLED UNDER CLINTON

Terrorism accounted for less than 4 percent of the FBI's resources at the start of the Clinton administration and more than 10 percent at the end, according to unpublished Justice Department data. The CIA's counterterrorism center nearly tripled in budget and personnel, sources said, though its managers complained that the numbers changed capriciously with the ebb and flow of White House and congressional urgency.

we're not sure whether or not the baby is his or not because she's been acting really strange, she's about to have the baby in october and she hasn't been going to a doctor, taking vitamins, nothing, she's 18 (he's 27), but when she was in school she play softball when she was pregnant, and they were fighting too during that time, she told him she was going to try and abort the baby herself (like in that way, she's not supposed to be playing softball when she's pregnant but nobody told her school or anything), anyway, they both broke up and he has another gf now and he signed all of his rights away almost a month ago because she threatened to hurt it if he didn't, she acts crazy, when they were breaking up she would text message or call him cussing him out and all kinds of BS., she just graduated in may and moved out of state to live with her mom, we want to know if we (me and my mom) can order a dna test and hopefully get rights to see it......

I looked for kewords liberal, communist, conservative, and state-rights. This is what I got just from one speech.

DOES HE SOUND LIKE A PRO-DIVERSITY LIBERAL OR A STATE RIGHTS CONSERVATIVE?

"It is a system that is the very opposite of Christ for it feeds and encourages everything degenerate and base in our people as it assumes the responsibilities that we ourselves should assume. Its psuedo-liberal spokesmen and some Harvard advocates have never examined the logic of its substitution of what it calls "human rights" for individual rights, for its propaganda play on words has appeal for the unthinking."

War or isolation? let's see. kill and use up trillions of dollars of resources and destroy the world, or save for greater danger. i asked an earlier question on isolationism. one answer said isolationist countries lost ww i and ii. no. england was isolationist in wwii. fearing russia more than germany, england refused to help france as in ww i. saved resources and thumped the nazi air attack in the battle of britain, over british skies, conserving fuel. isolationism won, as the german planes had to fly too far to and from the fighting. the u.s. is fighting in wars in asia. that is all the way on the other side of the planet. is this dumb or what?

Evidence:

from "justagrandma": "And right now we see Latinos coming here and wanting our country to change to accommodate for them instead of their learning our ways."

from "fatheadandstar": "this is because millions of them come illegally and then send the money they make here back to where they are from, dont even try to learn the language, bad talk the country, have children so they can become citizens, steal jobs. Learn to respect our country and maybe we will accept you" (this was a question asked about Latinos, NOT illegals. So...)

from "louisk": "As far as the Latino go most of them come here illegally and decide they are going to live off of the US taxpayers by collecting all the free services they can get.And the hardworking taxpayer like me cant go to college cant collect unemployment welfare or anything I am entitled to because they have used it all up and they aren't even citizens"
