I have a friend, went into a department store to get his kid a cd. Buys the cd, goes out to the car his kid says he already has that cd. My friend goes back into the store to try and return it, cashier says, sorry, it's been opened you can't return it. It wasn't opened, he bought it that way. So now he's got a cd in hand walking around the store trying to figure out what else to buy his kid, he decides not to buy anything from that store and walks out to his car. By the time he reaches his car store security is there asking him to come back to the store. He shows them the reciept, security guy says reciept don't mean ****. My friend says ok ask the cashier, she can verify that I paid for it and also the store copy can verify it. Security guy says no, he won't do that!! They force my friend to wait there for the police. Police come, look at the tape and tell security guy to let my friend go cause they got nothing on him. Then they tell my friend he has to pay - continued below

My boyfriend just left for Marine bootcamp yesterday. I know that they arent really permitted to make phone calls during bootcamp. But I heard that if you send them a calling card they can use it to call home. Is there anyone who has been through Marine bootcamp or had someone close to them go through it that knows from experience if this is true or not? Thanks guys =)

In case you missed it this was the highlight of the Orlando Republican Debate last Sunday.....

SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: "In case you missed it, a few days ago Senator Clinton tried to spend $1 million on the Woodstock Concert Museum.

Now, my friends, I wasn't there. I am sure it was a cultural and pharmaceutical event. I was tied up at the time." (end of quote)

McCain got a standing ovation the best line of the night. I wish him well. This country needs the Senator.

I work for a landscaping company. The other day, they hired a woman. she's one of these idiots that think a woman can do anything a man can do. As we went out to the job site, she learned that carrying heavy lumber, mixing and pouring concrete and pushing a wheel barrel full of dirt was not as easy as it seemed. It turned out that I had to do my job and pick up her slack as well. At the end of the day, I told my supervisor that since I did my job, plus half of her job, I want half her pay. He agreed. he owed her $120.00 but only gave her $60.00 and gave me the ballence. She threw one of those feminest hissy fits and quit on the spot. (he was going to fire her anyway). my question is, because stories like this happen everyday, are women really that stupid to think that "equal work for equal pay" should be taken seriously? Do they ever think that maybe if they actually did equal work, they might get ahead in this world? I know they are less intelligent than us, but this is a no-brainer

Americans objectify their women. Women are led to believe their worth is based on looks, playboy covers and not on character or intelligence. Is it a false sense of freedom when they say women can choose...yet....American females starve themselves(by CHOICE?) to death and engage in self destructive behavior, promiscuity etc.

Americans wont even let a woman be President. Female women have tried to run, but why no female President yet?Are you telling me that over 200 years of freedom and not 1 female was good enough to be president in this free country????
Even Muslim countries have had a female Prime Minister.
Even third world countries have had female Presidents.

And you can say Muslims treat their women badly blblblblblalbalbala. But does that negate the hypocritical attitude Americans have on women?

Is liberal California getting hit by big fires because:

1. Liberals refused to allow controlled burns to get rid of undergrowth?

2. Rich liberals living where mother nature intended fires to occur naturally once or twice a century?

3. Some "force" paying liberals back for their lifestyle?

4 Other?

To make it more clear:

Say that a girl is a witness to a murder. She was hit with a blunt object, therefore having to be hospitalized for a day. During the first hearing, she wished to testify in court. It is obvious that her boyfriend is vengeful, reasons being that she was injured. Can her boyfriend prosecute the suspect?

I think it should be legal just as much as alcohol. Alcohol makes people un-aware of things going on, as marijuana is a controlled substance, thats more safe.
there are many pro's and cons to this, and it is a widely discussed subject, but what are you thoughts?

This weekend I will be able to ask one question to one of leading presidential candidates. Does anyone have any questions that they consider relative to today's youth or to the region of California in general (things concerning the industrialization of prime agricultural regions)?

It was voted into law today. It looks just like a legal persons drivers license and can be used to register to vote!!! Some say it will be challenged, but is law as of now!
Source:Lou Dobbs Tonight
I think in the light of this, any votes received from New York should be disregarded and other states should not allow people with a New York drivers license to drive on their highways!
That would get New Yorkers attention in a hurry!
Throw that whole bunch out of office!!

I know it's an idle offer that I can't really deliver. I am against the war in Iraq. But I would gladly take a bullet for any allied troop serving in Iraq, especially my own Americans. And I also know I would do it for any Iraqi child. Iraqi adults on the basis of knowing them a little. But, I can't deliver on the offer, so when I speak out against the war, I am doing what I can and from my heart. As a Viet Nam Vet I have some concept of what our and allied troops are going through now. Furthermore, I think I have insight on how it may affect you 20 to 40 years after. Never think that being against the war is against you. I just don't like lives cut short, our side, enemy or civilian. Were it me running for president my platform would be, if elected, I would vacate my office as president and assume my role as commander in chief serving on the front in Iraq. I suppose a shot at glory as it would be the first time a Head of State did that since Napoleon.
