Here's another way to look at this: The Bankruptcy reform act of 2005 was notoriously pro lender. It made filing for Chpt 7 (clean sweep) that much more difficult for the avergae American. Chpt 7 for business, to my knowledge, has not been impacted. So... the CC companies figure, hey, we...

fhl, Do you really think that Hillary Clinton or John McCain "overlooked" this birth certificate issue? The Clintons' hachetjob crew have most definitely been all over this a couple years ago. If they couldn't come up with something... I doubt you will.

I'm not going to comment directly on this FEMA issue - my point is different. peil - the video of the coffins you posted was from a year ago, during Bush's term. My point is that there is little to no difference between the parties and the presidents - at least when it comes to major...

The diamond engagement ring is one of history's greatest scams. Cooked up and perpetrated by a diamond monopoly with the collusion of Hollywood. And De Beers lays the law that you have to spend 2 months salary to be worthy. I've only known one women that thought it a scam - she was from...

You mean those brie cheese eating pussies!!!! Now thems fighting words.

I don't see how it's a free market. Who is the government competing against? Oh yea... Blackwater. And how much did Blackwater pay it's soldiers?

How are my views far left? Actually, what the hell does "far left" mean?

I agree... if anything, I especially believe active military is grossly underpaid. They should not be treated as social workers - but as the professionals they are and paid accordingly.

Mav88 - I understand your concern, let me address that: Federal Income tax dollars are just that. Federal. Not Social Security, not Medicare, not unemployment... When a president discusses raising or lowering taxes - what is he referring to? The Fed Income tax - the same tax I refer to in...

About 50% of US federal tax dollars go to defense related expenditures. 50%!! And we spend more on defense than all G20 countries combined! Now, why do we do that? For the reason that Eisenhower laid out in his farewell address. Eisenhower really wanted to call it a "Congressional...

Though it was for different motives, Marc Faber has mentioned this as a future possibilty. He has warned investors to get out of the cities and buy a farm and wait this out. Saw him on bloomberg saying that water supply poisonings, dirty bombs... could be reality. His reasoning was that a...

I've read her stuff... especially her online book “Dillon, Read & Co. Inc. and the Aristocracy of Stock Profits” She interned at Goldman Sachs in the 70s, worked at Dillon Read, and was a senior official in HUD under Bush I. She was an insider - that's what's really troubling. It's not...

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. [Matthew 5:9] Resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. [Matthew 5:39] I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and...

A gay couple lives on my street. They keep to themselves, are family oriented, and always eager to help out any neighbor. Further down the street, there is a hetero couple, and when the husband gets drunk, you hear the wife scream obscenities and the cops come and visit. (By the way, the gay...

People getting burned alive in the town square for being "different" is more acceptable to you than a gay couple getting married? So we should burn gays instead of letting them get married? Is that what you're saying?

Yes, those good ol' religious days when people were pious, humble, and closer to god...

Ah... the old "without god everyone would be immoral" argument. I don't know about you, but I don't need a god to tell me that bestiality and molestation are wrong. My morality does not need to hinge on religion. Think about it... do you not practice bestiality or molestation only...

You know what? I was thinking the same thing. But there are quite a few to choose from. Catholicism - too stringent, too many saints to keep track of - long ceremonies of standing up, sitting down, and kneeling.... Though Catholic girls are hot. Baptists - ever watch those televangelists...

I'm shopping for a religion. After all, why should I automatically abide by the one I was born into? Shouldn't I have a choice? That said, anyone want to convince me that their god is the "real" or "best" god? I really can use some help here. Islam is out of the question - too much work...
