'She says she has clients whose monthly income is $800 a month but whose mortgage payments have now mushroomed to $500 a month. "No one looked at the affordability factor"'

Do you want your tax dollars to bail people out who were foolish enough to not "[look] at the afforability factor"?

Is it a) compassionate, or b) immoral for politicians to spend other peoples money to bail debtors out when they make bad decisions?

..., shouldn't equal pressure be brought on Ted Kennedy to resign as well. It's a lot worse to kill a girl and run away from it than to try to attract another perv in a men's room.

Ethan M posted a question about both parties being equally corrupt and several people responded by saying that the Dems were more corrupt than Republicans...I would love to hear people's justification for this, as all of the corruption charges I have seen , besides jefferson, have been Republicans.

Numerous intelligence reports say that the terrorists will hit 3-8 cities soon and simultaneously . Those assertions come from US Intelligence reports and foreign intelligence reports . Some of them say that rural America will be hit as well .

This is mainly directed to the 'Terrorist Threat Diminishers' out there , those who say that more people get cancer and struck by lightning than get killed by terrorists .

If this happens , will you help others in need ?

And what if it is YOU and your family that suffers directly from an attack ? Will you EXPECT help even though you were laughing so hard while telling everyone there's not much to worry about ? Do your neighbors know you actively diminish the threat ? What will they think of you if you successfully got them to diminish the threat as well , but then they got hit anyway ?
You think about that last one for awhile .

Do you agree that I should have been flagged for this???
I can see if I was out of line and disrespectful but I don't see it,

A little help

Thanks/ Dez


Question: Does anyone get the feeling that if this joke was played on Bush, he'd be so confused he'd just buy a new car?

Question Details: Dez: As a soldier, it is your sworn duty to defend my right to say whatever I want. So deal with it.

Deleted Answer: as an American and Soldier, I have said it a 100 times on here it's your right as an American to disagree with the President and engage in friendly debates, but this flat out hate, name calling and disrespectful screen Icons about our president is uncalled for and UN-American, you got people that are so blinded by hate and this Anti-American hate machine, I don't hate the Bush Haters, just feel sorry for them.

I've not followed the story very closely and would like to get up-to-date on it now . From the little that I know about it , I understand that he made 'hand-signals' and tapped his feet . Did he plead guilty or no contest ?
Is everyone mad at him because he's gay(even though I know he denied being gay) or for some other reason ?
Was the person in the stall next to him an adult or a minor ?
Are there certain 'hand-signals' that are against the law ?

I would appreciate a complete listing of the details .
Thank you .

Over and over again I read about the criminal things Bush has done, how he has lied to the people and stolen money from the government. The economy is terrible, unemployment is way up and wages are way down. Everytime he opens his mouth a lie comes out and there are people out their who think he is a God. What is wrong with you people?

They don't know the difference between a lie, an incorrect statement, and felony pergury.

If I tell you the world is flat

It is a false statement on my part if I say it and I believe it to be true.

It is a lie if I know it isn't true and say it anyway

It is felony perjury if I say it in response to a question asked of me in a court procedure or if I write it in a notarized document to be entered into evidence in a court proceding.

As to Saddam WMDs, he had them at one time, not only Bush said it, so did Clinton, Kerry, and every other Liberal politician at one time. We even saw him use them on the Kurds in the North. We gave him a decent amount of time to hide, move, or actually get rid of them, but Bush saying Iraq had WMDs is at worst an incorrect statement on is part, not a lie, and certainly not felony perjury.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- An elementary school in Colorado Springs, Colo., is banning the game of tag on its playground, after some children complained they had been chased or harassed against their will.

Assistant Principal Cindy Fesgen of the Discovery Canyon Campus school said running games will be allowed, as long as students don't chase each other.

I guess this takes out most sports or games as you usually chase after the person with the ball. No soccer, basketball, football, frisbee and so on.

What is the school doing to these kids? Now they can't run so of course they will get even fatter right? Aren't they trying to promote a healthier lifestyle? What running game is left? Track? I can't remember finding a track race all that appealing in grade school, unless you wanted to proove who was faster... but there is two problems with track... someone would win and the other kids feelings would be hurt and you are actually chasing after the faster kid...

Putting Fox News aside from this discussion, because journalism is suppose to reveal the truth and they are as far from that as one can imagine, how can anyone say the news media is Liberal when it supported Bush throughout his immoral and criminal war, not asking any...any...any questions that would have led to Bush's lies and the saving of many American and Iraqie lives..

The news media is Corporate, their purpose is to support the bottom line of themselves and thier sponsors.. There is little room for the truth in that...Since most Corporations support conservative politics, they are conservatively biased if anything...
