For those of you who talk about the oil interests, don't you know that the oil interests are your interests as well? Let us suppose that we could not get oil from the Middle East and gas went to ten dollars a gallon and your heating and air conditioning costs went up four fold. You would squeal like stuck pigs, and certainly your standard of living would greatly suffer. Think about it.

Larc, hon if gas goes to ten dollars a gallon I would just ride the bus. I think a little sacrifice is fine if it prevents the death of many innocent people. We're far too dependent on oil IMO anyway. If we spent more money on finding alternative energy sources this would not even be an issue.

Thanks PD! I'm getting sick of it too.

How Do You Feel About President Bush?

by minimus in

i like him, but he makes me a little nervous.

Aztec

Yes, Perry, but unlike the founding fathers Bush cannot form a complete sentence to save his life. He continuously blunders his way through rhetorical speeches and spouts nonsensical jargon <some of which he can't even pronounce correctly> and makes the United States look like a nation of idiots! I can't stand the man! Petty is right, he's evil!

Before anyone calls me a socialist...I voted for John McCain in the Republican primary. I like him and he seems to be at least somewhat genuine. Also, I didn't vote for Gore in the national election. I voted for Ralph Nader.

my sister told me the other day that at the end of june a friend of her's is moving to detroit and i will need to move out.

i was hurt at first but i understand why now.

she loves children but she has very little patience for them.

Aztec

Yes, Wednesday, apply immediatly...LOL

back2dafront, as far as wages being higher let's hope so. My coworker is from Cali and he said he got paid $5/hour more for doing the same thing he is doing here. Cali is near the top of my list for the weather alone. Or maybe I'm just sick of 2+ weeks of below freezing weather. Thanks!

Are You In Support Of Starting A War In Iraq ?

by minimus in

jw
friends

it looks inevitable.

do you think this is more a carry over from president pappy bush's not getting the job done while he was in office?

do you think the usa and it's allies can fight multiple wars??

Aztec

No I am not in support of starting a war. I'm not gonna argue my points anymore because people are going to believe what they WANT to believe and noone and nothing is going to change their minds.

One thing that bothers me though is the lack of concern showed for innocent Iraqi's who've done nothing to deserve the conflict that will soon be on their doorsteps. I do care about our troops, of course, but they are prepared for it. They've been trained for it and, for the most part, knew what they were getting into when they signed up. When people talk about casualties they only seem concerned about American casualties. That's sick!

OAKLAND COUNTY, MI MEET-UP (Unofficial)

by outnfree in

hi, all you michiganders!

lol.

i have been going to xjw meet-ups in the detroit area for several months now, and thus far we have yet to have anyone actually from detroit show up.. several of us have thus suggested a change in venue from the meet-up website, but once again, our suggestion has been ignored and only detroit locations have been offered as possibilities.

Aztec

Woo hoo! Count me in! The only problem I usually have is my son. He tries so hard to sit still and the meetups are usually in restaurants where there is nothing for him to do. Poor kid. I don't know if it's possible but if we could meet up some where more kid friendly it would be fun. Also if it is on a bus line that would be good. Petty and I already talked about hanging out next Saturday so this could work out good!
