Tuesday: It seems like more than ever, fro England and the US especially, that people are ready to come together in the name of forget these politicians, forget politics, it seems like politicians, the career type that give themselves good health insurance and pensions and lifetime pay and garanteed raises.... as they sit there and complain about corporate fat cats??????


They are really no different from the selfish bastards that they want to regulate!

Tuesday: Maybe we should implement that 5% of food stamps be specially designated for splurge items...

Bwild: Thats what I am saying...... they want to make a law for us to be screened for drugs, well, fine let them be screened as well! Same for health insurance.... if its good enough for us, then good enough for them too,

They like their pensions, and want different for us????

There is plenty more...

Bwild: lol...recipients

Übergeek 바둑이: torture is a bad deal...but so is war and terrorism.

I suppose waterboarding had no bad consequences beyond the "few" cases it was used for. Now parents are considering waterboarding as punishment for their kids since it is not "torture":

I wonder what those who defended waterboarding have to say about this.

lol...recipiants

missouri is trying to pass a law that requires welfare receipianst to undergo drug screening...and lawmakers will have to go thru it every 2 years??
seems to me lawmakers should submit to random screenings

Artful Dodger: I was about to write that I dare say she would be, but then I deleted it because I thought nobody would argue with me anyway… lol

Czuch: I actually don't have anyone specific in mind… it just seems to me that if I take a look back at the last three elections, neither of the presidential candidates, whether Gore, Bush, Kerry, McCain or Obama, had the qualities to become a president I would respect as a competent leader of the country. If Palin gets in the White House, I will start to believe that there are some sort of three-president turns: three proficient presidents (Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton) followed by three fumbling ones (Bush Jr., Obama, Palin). And maybe it would work further into the past too…

Artful Dodger: we need them to make it so any law they pass for us, also applies to them, and any law they pass for themselves, also applies to us!

vote Green!!

Pedro Martínez: who do you have in mind?

Tuesday: To the contrary, I hope you guys will finally nominate someone competent in the primaries.

From Chinese to Kilngon to Vulcan to Ferengi to English ...

How illogical! How can a president get a Nobel prize when the only ones who can afford it are 5-year-old Romulan kids with a weekly allowance? Kaplah!

Czuch:

Czuch: okay, sorry, really...

Pedro Martínez: My translator does not do Czech, I wish it could!

Czuch: okay, last time, I promise....

"Today, anybody here reads the Chinese? "

Czuch: From Chinese into Czech: “Haló, kdo je tady číst Číňan?” meaning “Hello (however, this 'hello' is only used when answering a telephone), who is here read Chinese (however, this 'Chinese' is a Chinese person, not Chinese language)”.

Czuch: now from english to french to chinese back to english...


"You are good, here, no matter who Chinese does read ?"

Czuch: Now from english to dutch then to chinese then back to english its...


"You are good, here reads everybody Chinese? "

The science is settled isnt it?????

Übergeek 바둑이: I think you are wrong, in the respect that the type of change most parties claim, is from consrvative ideal to liberal ideals and back and forth.... but Obama was supposed to be different, yes in many respects he was promoting liberal/progressive agenda, but what most people voted for was his promise of a change in the way politics in general were going to be handled.... specifically the more bipartisan, and inclusive and openness blah blah blah....

without that he is just more of the same ol same ol....
he is no different, really, and many of us knew this, but many of us had "hope" and voted on that hope and now they see their errors, and it only took one year for our eyes to become un blind folded......

Thing is that the progressive far left liberals only wanted to move on their socialist agenda, and they thought they had a mandate to do that, unimpeded... but the fact is that their mandate was for a change in how government works and not for their far left agenda


Having said that, I think the same is true for the republicans as well.... people are getting fed up with polics as usual from both sides of the isle, and republicans need to learn this or they will be out as well....


Its time that politicians work for the people who hired them, and in my opinion, that time is very near indeed!
