  Politics: Just the facts

  by desib77 in

  is there anywhere i can get just the facts about current issues and where both presidential candidates stand on each?.

  it seems like everywhere i look there is someone or something trying to sway me one way or the other.

  my husband is a head strong republican while others i know are active democrats.

  The best thing to do, especially with Senator Kerry or Senator Edwards, is look at their voting records.

  Whoa! Slow down, fella! I smell a slant...

  Anyhoo - here's a start for your pre-voting edification:

  Is this an okay reason to vomit?

  by Lostreality in

  i was walking to my girlfriends, and just as i saw her house, i saw a ginourmous flag that covered half of the front of her house....i had a little pre-vomit spit up type stuff just thinking about going into the house....is it normal for this to happen?

  Perhaps the inclination for vomiting was not the flag, per se - but that it was SO LARGE, and thus reflected the "Super-Patriot" idealogy, i.e., the bigger my flag is, the more that people can see I am patriotic. Now the problem is, a lot of these types of folks wave the flag in public, but trample it in private. Disgraceful.

  Pet Peeves thread...

  by Brummie in

  this kinda thread has probably been done before... someone phones me at work and when i say hello they say "hold on" and start talking to someone else, they dont tell me who they are and i'm hanging on hearing them chat to someone who is with them on the other end, 5 mins later they introduce themselves and tell me what they want.

  that is a pet peeve.. another, for example, go to the fridge and both tubs of butter are open and both blocks of cheese instead of finishing one off and then opening the other.

  thats just a small pet peeve but its one none the less.. miserable sod arnt i though?.

  That happens to us here at work all the time. I just hang up on 'em. I figure, they must not think that what they called about was very important, so - BUH BYE.

  The Americans were bad people and good people at the same time way back when.

  Good point, Simon! Ya see, folks - being locked up away from the rest of society IS THE PUNISHMENT. Not inhumane living conditions. Should hardened criminals be treated "softly"? No; but they shouldn't be subjected to poor treatment above and beyond what they're already experiencing.

  Happens to the best of us...just like all those people who bought tickets to Farenheit 911- duped into thinking it was a documentary...not realizing Moore was telling the "truth" but not the TRUTH! I point to the HAVES AND HAVE MORES Comment as one example among many.

  Oh, DO edify us!

  Please, list everything in Mr. Moore's movie that was a falsehood. And be sure to back up your claims with facts.
