No matter who you are, that's funny! Have you seen his description of golf? I almost choked!
Like I said "I don't care who you are" that's funny. Don't think the sheet heads have a sense of humor anyway...btw, has anyone ever seen Hillary laugh?
Poor ole Bill. No matter what I think of him as a President...No one should ever have to see Hillary naked!Sorry, I know that brings up some baaad visuals!

I dunno dude, I bet all the foreigners and the illegals get all butthurt about it
Screw em if they can't take a joke....a very serious joke that's not so much "ha ha" as "take it seriously". And why do we try so hard to make ILLEGALS comfy anyway? They are here ILLEGALY!!!
roads come from the state, not the federal, as do the schools. Lets not get ridiculous. The condition of both have been deteriorating way before this started.
I have been active duty military for over 12 years, been to Iraq twice, Saudi, Oman, Jordan, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Kuwait and Bahrain; not to mention most of Asia, Europe, and South America...and I could really care less what any of those people think of the U.S. The way I see it is I'll fight for the Iraqi people the same way I would fight for the people here in our country...thats what I get paid to do!
um actually the schools are run by the state but they are funded by federal money, ever hear about the allocation of federal funds for ............. anything from a bridge to a school bus.
nicely said abnormaltoy Here's a little tidbit from Robin Williams. I got this back in 2003, but I figure its worth repeating Enjoy!!
And I do wish the US would do a lot less "hey, what's going on over here, and how can I stick my nose in it?" and worry more about ourselves, but history proves that no matter what we do we're accused of being selfish.
um actually the schools are run by the state but they are funded by federal money, ever hear about the allocation of federal funds for ............. anything from a bridge to a school busour schools here in arkansas had to "merge" with other schools so the highschools could have different classes, say Mudville teaches french and booneville has a welding shop, some girls from booneville would go to mudville and have french class whiule some of the boys from mudville would go to booneville for shop
I stand corrected, I was thinking more of local roads then interstate highways, and what do I know about schools, nothing but the fact that FL has about the worst schools in the nation and I'm glad I never had to worry about kids going to school in this day and age. But still, the point is this has all been deteriorating way before this war started, the money going there has nothing to do with the current condition of things.
First of all, all that bs about virtue and competition is just that bs. It is a western cultural value that has absolutely no universal utility. Most cultures put family before everything else, which leads to a more collectivist (as opposed to competitive) conscience. 'Virtue' can mean anything, which is my major beef with Leo Strauss - he never defines what 'virtue' is. (Leo Strauss is the ideological father of neo-cons like richard Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Clarence Thomas and others. He also advocated atheism because 'rationality and religion' are incompatible. Ever wonder why Rush wasn't married in a Church? Look no further than Leo Strauss's political philosophy. Rush is an atheist.) Look at China. It has the fastest growing economy on the planet. Socialism with allowances for entrepeneurship seems the be the chosen model for most states. China is communist with capitalistic allowances. And the communism that you are talking about isn't Marxism. It is Stalinism or Maoism. Marx advocated revolution (all revolutions need not be armed), but not genocide. Nelson Mandela is a Marxist and he is one of the most peaceful men on the planet. Other notable socialists - MLK, Gandhi, Orwell, and others.
Well I don’t think its BS. You don’t think the world is competitive? While you may not be trying to demolish your coworker, you’re trying to do your work better that he does his…except in a union shop, where individual output doesn’t matter. China’s economy didn’t start booming until they “adopted” capitalism to some extent. Even before then there was, as is usually the case in repressive economies, a strong black market that helped keep the economy afloat. You don’t think the USSR was Marxist…at the very least under Lenin? That’s what we most associate with the Communism in the US. Lenin, Stalin, Mao are all variations on a theme. They may not have followed the recipe exactly, but Marx was the inspiration. Mark
I am not sure what you mean by repressive economies. People have housing, health care, education, and food.
Poverty in Latin America is largely caused by unfair trade agreements (NAFTA, CAFTA, and GATT are unfair to workers everywhere. It creates an environment that forces workers to compete against each other, thereby driving the cost of labor down. Simple supply and demand. The winners - giant international corporations.)
Reproduction is potentially the scariest thing on earth right now. It is not a mainstream concern yet but it should be. Population growth follows exponential growth characteristics and we are now in the later stages where the population has potential to double in a relatively short period of time. The statistics are frightening. Uncontrolled birth in undeveloped nations such as many in south America for instance pose a large threat to human existence. Eventually the earth will run out of resources if some natural disaster such as a plague is not realized first as nature reaches to restore balance to our planet and wipe out the human species. When you go to South America maybe you can distribute condoms.
The world is competitive because that is the best way to increase profits.
From the second a hominid climbed down from a tree, there has been competition. Competition for the best food, the best hunting ground, the best den. If it weren't for "exploiting resources" you'd be sitting buck-ass nekid in a field wishing you had a chunk of flint to make a spear so you could kill a gazelle for dinner! I firmly do not believe that man can do anything to destroy the Earth. We may, and probably will, annihilate ourselves but the Earth will continue. Why is it that leftists never see the good in anything…they’re never happy. Mark
There are a few theories about the population explosion. The first is that all resources such as food and space will be used up due to massive over population. The second theory makes sense and hinges on controlled reproduction for the survival of the human race. The future of the world hinges on the future of the third world nations and the reproductive customs they have. I may have the details wrong but it basically works like this and the graph agrees. As medical technology increases people live longer and do not die nearly as frequently. In the old days the death rate was so high that the population grew very slow as people had a low life expectancy and child survival rate was relatively low. Now with people living longer and survival rates improving due to medicine improvements there is a huge increase in population as people are having families of 20 people and nobody is dieing. Next society industrializes and the general population moves from rural to urban centers so there is no longer any purpose to having a 20 person family. A large family in these cultures views a child as a tool. The more children a family has the less work each person needs to do. We are talking gathering food etc. The basic chores for survival. Picture the progress of America from mostly farmers with large families to becoming citified and no longer having a large family. Once industrialization occurs a society no longer has a need for an excess of children and children become a burden rather than an asset. The last stage is where the US and Europe are currently as families are having 1 to 2 children most frequently and at this rate the population will stabilize. If you look at the second graph this makes perfect sense. You can see at what year roughly each stage took place and see where we are and where the third world countries are in the stages. So we have already stabilized our population as civilized people. The third world nations are now realizing new medicine and experiencing lower death rates hence the population explosion. We now have to wait for the third world to industrialize and make large families obsolete or else humans are history. Don't write the world off just yet. Hopefully the third world nations can get their shirt together before the world is incapable of sustaining life.
