LOL I just came back from my Public Policy Class, and the genius behind me raised his hand and said this brilliant sentence, "Why dont we just divide Iraq by religon, then put enough space between them and a fence so they cant have civil war." Number one, Civil war is going to happen (regardless if the US is there or not, especially since the death of Sadaam), Number two (Look at Russia and that whole part of Europe), and Number 3, what are we going to do, put them in corners and tell them not to look, touch, or speak to one another? In theory his plan would work, in reality, not so much lol! We all got a good laugh out of that....Ok PoliSci ppl laugh at weird things, but HEY atleast we UNDERSTAND the joke.....I agree GW Bush isnt the brightest crayon in the box, but hes not stupid....He knows what is going on and the lack of knowledge bestowed unto us from the government makes us think he is an idiot, and the fact he has no public speaking skills.

I want to apologize for how uneducated my previous posts were, I really did not mean them to come out so ignornant. I had just come home from a party and decided to get online since I was bored and could not sleep. I dont want to delete because there were some interesting points made in reference to my posts, but just know that I really did not mean to sound so much like a biggot idiot.

I really love the way Canadians gripe about the way the US is always in other countries businesses, however, they are always trying to tell us how our government should be run. Sorry, but we fought for our form of government, and we will run it the way we want, we dont care what you say, you have fought for nothing. We have shed blood for what we have and if it succeeds or fails, at least we know we fought for what we wanted, and for now it is working. Anything could happen in the future (I mean hundreds of years from now, not just in 50 years). Im sorry Im picking on you, dont take it too personal I just had a few Canadians in my classes really piss me off this semester......

All I can say is Bush is a much better Prez than Kerry would have been, and he is doing his job, and he does it rather well in reality, if you look at it. The problem is, society wants someone to blame, so they blame the govt. and specifically the presidents. Simple put, everyone is gonna bitch no matter what, so just go with which is better at the job. Society needs someone to blame about being poor, being unemployed, being sick, being anything, so they aim for the govt, and it will always happen no matter what is done............so whatever, im poor, im unemployed, I dont blame the govt, I blame society for not being accepting of my size (mostly), its not the government's fault. I like Bush, I like his policies, his really big flaw is he isnt a great speaker, and it makes him look like an idiot, when in reality he is most likely rather intelligent, I mean he does have the most stressful job ever! and rather complicated also.......TRUST me it takes smarts to be in politics, if you dont actually, in depth study it, you wouldnt understand how complicated it can get. So there is something to think about

ALL I have to say is: "Always the friend, never the girlfriend" (or even hook-up buddy). Why is it that so many other ppl, people I would consider to be rather distasteful, still get to have a little fun, and date, and meet ppl that sort of thing. Not me. I never, ever get asked out or hit on by "the guy" its always some guy 10-12 years older than me. Which age isnt a big deal to me, but Im rather young and they are probably looking for different things than I am right now. I dunno, its hopeless I think, I get interested in guys, then end up having to hook them up with friends of mine so that they can find a relationship. Why arent I attractive to STRAIGHT guys? Oh YEAH the gay guys love me lol! And I love them, and I wish they were straight, because no straight guy is never as nice and sensitive, yet can be manly and what not as a gay guy, I swear it would kill them to have manners sometimes. Its just with my age group the size of your body is EVERYTHING, no guy wants to date the fat chick at this age (and some never grow out of it). I mean I dont even think its my weight sometimes, because much bigger girls than me get way more action than I do!!! I guess Im destined to be single, but Im telling you guys, Im not one for take backs, but if my ex boyfriend walked through that door right now, with the way he's been treating me, and asked me to take him back, I would in a heart beat...I miss him so much because I dont have anyone like that in my life anymore...I dont have a guy to be affectionate with or whatever,I have the Gay Mafia, and they arent much help lol!

hey guys thanks for this, I barely ever can eat, ans definately not in the morning becuz of the mucus! Im glad im not the only one

I posted this in response to assholes comments Maybe you should try to feed your high metabolism with healthier options other than McDonalds. You know, fast food causes more than obesity. So obesity is not the only, although leading, cause of the deletion of the supersize option. I myself chose to have weight loss surgery. NO ONE OTHER THAN MYSELF PAID FOR THAT. I paid $15,000 in cash for the surgery, that makes me no different than little miss 110lbs Barbie who wants DD breast implants, a nose job, and liposuction to sculp her almost perfect body. I have been overweight my entire life, from birth I was a big kid. I continued to grow, despite my inability to eat as a child. I was lucky to get down one meal a day until I was about 12. Thats when my overeating started. I was anorexic for a year, and when I was treated for it, I started eating two meals a day. Sometimes healthy, sometimes not. I definately always made healthier choices than most of my peers and best friends who were normal weight. I understand that some people could just help themselves. And had I been skinny from the get go I may feel the same as you, who knows. Just keep in mind that you must have love for your fellow man, although you dont have to like them at all. Many large people have emotional eating problems (thank God I didnt) and they eat because of these exact comments you are making right now, which makes them bigger, which contributes to your bitching. I promise you should have no issue with me because you did not contribute one pretty penny to my weight loss surgery.

I also have a tendency to get stomach virus symptoms during this time. sorry I had more thoughts on the subject. I wonder why I cant eat and you all can? Also, because of the stomcah virus symptoms, I end up losing about 5lbs during this time, sometimes I gain it back and sometimes I dont, its about a 50/50 split. I dont know, I hate it during that time because I cant eat, and thats one of the worst feelings in the world. Being hungry and not being physically able to eat. Like everything I put in my mouth I just throw right back up during that time. Hmmmm.......How odd this is?

Man, I must be weird. Im lucky to get a shake down during that time! I cant eat anything the week before, of, or a few days after! I get so tight that nothing goes down at all! Which sux because I have cravings!

I paid $15,000 out of my pocket for this surgery with Dr. Spiegel in Texas. My insurance did not cover the surgery

Thats all I wanted was tolerance to my POV, not even understanding. Ofcourse I can tolerate other people's opinions, I deal with them ALLLLl the time. I definately lean conservative at the polls, but Im in COLLEGE and very few ppl my age are conservatives. I deal with it alll the time in class discussions and all that is needed it for someone to make VALID points, even if they are opinion based, rather than something totally off the wall. I dont believe that most of the ppl on this poll are tolerant of me or my opinion. I think its quite funny how people get so mad on here. Ive been laughing so hard for like a week now, I try to write calmy and with sobriety and with maturity as much as I can so as not to stoop to that level of ignorance and intolerance. To get mad over something like this is crazy, or to actually care. Quite frankly it gives me something to do during class.

I am super excited about the results, Ive been calling it as Perry for Gov, and right now thats the way the vote looks! Life experience is important, but why let us vote if you dont believe we have enough experience to do so? I have life experience, I do my part as much as possible...Ive been repsonsible for the well-being of others, Ive paid my own bills, I live life, I just still have the ability to have freedom because Im not married or have kids (which is a looooooooooooooong ways down the road). I know they are not picking on me at a personal level, thats how debate works, its not the person its the opinion, the point-of-view. But when is enough life experience. Why doesnt a 50 year old pick on a 30 year old, surely their life experience can not be deemed equal? And if so, how so? I am little baffled by the logic, but what is scary is that it does make sense to me somewhat...

Lol, after I posted it I did realize it came across as threatening, but I dont really mean it as a threat haha! I get what you all are saying, but just because I am young, doesnt mean my vote or my opinion doesnt matter. I think this is why most people my age do not vote, because they feel they dont count, because our opinions are knocked really hard by other generations.

Thank you very much, you have done the same. We all cant agree all the time. I dont believe my way is the only way, and it may not always be the right way. But it is my opinion after all. I thank you and only you for your MATURITY that you have shown throughout this thread. Everyone else has taken the attitude that my opinion doesnt matter because I am young. I may be young, but I do know what I believe right now, as you said, it could change, and it is very possible some day. I dont believe that any consenting adult should be scorned for their opinion on political matters. My ballot should come in the mail soon, I love voting, its one of my favorite things in the world to do, weird I know, but I during elections this past Spring, I would skip class just to go vote and help with voting. I love the American Political System and I love to study it. Im excited about next semester because I am taking 3 more POLS classes (Religon and Politics, American Judicial System, and Public Policy). I just want all of you who scorn the youth of today, especially those of us who will be working in politics when you get really old, that we will have the power in legislation, and trust me the government is rather volatile right now. So keep up with your remarks and your gumdrops and daisies attitudes and see where it will lead in the next 20-30 years...Just remember that my generation will have the upper hand in Government one day, so dont knock us too hard.

Oh my parents and I have always had a close relationship. she is having empty nest syndrome, but I cant come home all the time, number one I dont want to, and number two its too far. I moved this far away so I wouldnt be home alllll the time. They were involved in every thing I did, like I did Theatre and they totally came to my plays even though they have no taste for theatre, they helped out a ton with Project Grad. But My mom JUST started doing this like 2 weeks ago, the last time I went home due to unfortunate circumstances, and ever since then she has tried to extend a leash all the way where I live now! Its crazy

I know all this about platforms, agendas, political parties etc....This is what I live to do, politics...... One should look into the background and platform and everything about a candidate before voting for them. They look at what they stand for, what they are about, and so on...Therefore if you only vote one way no matter what you could be closing your mind of to other possibilities. I was a firm, and still am, Clinton supporter, and I am now a Bush supporter. You see I do not only go one way or the other, but rather who I feel fits the bill best. I did not like John Kerry for anything in the world, he is a very shady character, and therefore I supported Bush. My grandfather, although he did not like Kerry at all still voted for him just because he is a Democrat. You see he felt forced to vote Democrat although he did not like the candidate, I just dont understand how you can vote one way or the other. YES the party supports their candidate and offers them what they stand for, and pick the person they want to represent them in the election because they fit there best....But what I am trying to get across is not all Republicans are conservative and not all Democrats are Liberal. They are not all the same.

hmmm....makes me wonder what some people my age are thinking....I do hate it tho, the way my mother all of a sudden is in my business alllllll the time now that I am grown and not living with them, where as she could have cared less this time last year........Im confused........

See what I am saying is vote for the candidate YOU feel is the best, not because they are one party or the other. And just to let you know I do not associate myself with drugs, but I do know what you are saying. Ive had a horrible day and that made me giggle a little....On another note, I would not stage a protest. I protest is like when a child throws a hissy fit. Use brains, write letters, use connections to get what you want. Pass out fliers and pamphlets with your information in it so forth...you dont have to make a spectacle of yourself to get what you want...You will end up making things work, if I saw that on the side of the road I would do the exact opposite because I would associate your behavior with whatever issue you are protesting in such an immature manner. I just dont know how someone can only vote one way their entire lives, my Grandfather and does and it drives me NUTZ! And I know it matters who controls the house and such and that they get appoint members to committees and such, I know all that, but its the character of the person and the strengths that make them a leader, not if they are RED or BLUE

wow, that is radical, and rather immature. There are better ways to get what you want than standing around on the side of the road...protests are a bunch of hot air about 85% of the time, while some are effective...But I dont see the effectiveness in this at all????? Hmmm.....I dont think it matters what party the candidate is under, it is the candidate that you are voting for. The only difference between the two parties is actually the candidate and his personal beliefs and his agenda, take that away and they would be ALMOST the same. When voting one should not asscociate themselves with one party and one party only for life, they should instead vote the way their heart and mind leads them. If you went by the party and you only vote Democrat or Republican, then you could very well vote in the next Hitler or something because you refuse to vote for the other main party

I had complete freedom, could do anything I wanted within reason, my parents guided me, they didnt control me. I didnt do anything I wasnt supposed to do, I guess Im one of those kids that didnt really rebel, I knew that I was moving out and would be able to do a lot more stuff and it would be more fun when I was older. I didnt go out all the time, If I did I didnt come in late, if I was going out later than midnight I called and stayed with someone else. If I went to a party, I stayed there instead of trying to drive home. I just did what made sense to me and that was to stay away from drugs, dont have premarital sex, and if I drank then I didnt drive nor drank enough to get totally wasted or drunk for that matter. I didnt sneak out of the house, I didnt do anything that my parents didnt know. My rule is, if your parents wouldnt accept it then dont do it, especially in my town where everyone finds out about everything. I guess I was just responsible. I suppose you wanted my parents to quit their jobs so that they could taxi me around all the time...so they could not accept that I was getting older and needed to have a car to transport myself because they work full-time jobs with over time EVERY WEEK DAY...in fact I didnt have one car I had 2 just incase anything happened to the other. I havent turned out wild and crazy...YES I am in college, and YES I am your classic college student that parties all the time, but I am responsible with it. I get my stuff done, and Im enjoying being on my own and the freedom that it brings because I kept myself under control in highschool, my parents didnt have to.

We dont have city buses, Im not from a city lol, its a town.

Hmm.... I actually like this ^. Because it is true, nothing is totally definant. I really Really like this alot

The school buses dont run at noon or 9 am, they run till 8 am and from 3:30-4:15 pm

And you think I'm heartless. No I dont believe it is right, and I do not condone it, but many of my best friends here are gay and I LOVE LOVE THEM! And I want to see them happy. I am glad NJ voted this in, I dont think that every state is ready for this yet but a nice Northern state can definately not only get away with it, but most likely set off a revolution. I want to see my friends happy and if that makes them happy, I want to see it. My church never turned down several "engaged" gay couples, but instead accepted them and loved them all the same. No the Bible does not condone this lifestyle, but the Bible also says to LOVE and not Judge others

I LOVE GEORGE BUSH! Kerry was way too odd and shady
