Yes, it's true.

Well Carlene I would be happy to retract(if I am wrong) But maybe you need to retract something. remember the post about me blaming libreals for gas prices that I called you on. You never said anything about that. So since then I have pertty much had you on ignore( until you say somthing obsurd)

If you are saying that Liberals are to blame for the increase in gas prices, you are the one who is "obsurd". And by the way, do us all a favor and download the Spell Check. It would make your posts a lot easier to read.

I never said there was not 27000 I said we CLEANED up <grin>. And basicly what I mean in my original post is we cleaned up and got out of there. Yes we still have some there but no where close to what we had in 2001.

There you go puting a spin on things again. you blamed me for saying that yesterday (which I did not).

Thanks 396, I just got back home! I couldn't have said it nearly as eloquent myself. I just can't overlook the rudeness I see coming from some of you posters. Name calling, swearing, intimidation. I make no apologies to you (Tom) or anyone else. I don't owe you anything!

May I point out that no one on this board has done more name-calling, or exhibited more rude behavior, than your friend 396. And if you think his posts are "eloquent", golly gee.....the rest of us must appear absolutely brillant by comparison.

Carlene, you just gave me the giggles! :clap2: I was going to say something, but you beat me to it.

George Bush: Worst American president in history

Yes, it's true.

This was stated on the first post of the thread, and I couldn't agree more. More than that, I am ashamed of him and that he was elected 2x...wow. If you disagree, that is fine, but travel outside of the USA once in a while and you get a different perspective! I don't want to argue or debate, just wanted to state my opinion.

Yes, it's true.

Hello! Bush is not well regarded internationally either to be honest. Susannah

Perhaps if George Bush had twin sons he would reconsider the masacre of our male population for a war that NO ONE wants.

Well we already know how brilliant you are, you take up most of the space blathering on these threads to let us know!

Thank goodness there are intelligent and articulate people out there like Laurend! Susannah

Did I manage to miss something? I left for about 45 minutes. Oh, well. I'll reply to the post that you quoted anyway, since I am assuming it was directed towards me, from your post.

I'm sorry, am I supposed to refrain from posting about my worries and the things I need support for because you think I am "blathering"? Or is it that you expect me to not speak up when I have a certain opinion or (gasp!) may actually have a little bit more knowledge about some things than other people? Should I just pat people on the head and say, "Well done, there", even if they obviously have no clue what they are posting about? Since when is it "blathering" to participate in a debate and actually know what you are talking about?

Hey, We are women Laurend. We should just shutup and get back in the kitchen etc.:biggrin1: Susannah

She evidently deleted several posts. I hate it when people do that and then someone replies to a post that is no longer there. It confuses the hell out of me.

But just for the record, I want to say that everyone (including the people with whom I disagree) is entitled to post their opinion, their musings, their jokes or pics - anything they want and as often as they like. Just keep it civil, that's all the list owner asks.

Yeah, and you better be barefoot and pregnant, too.

That's definitely the way a lot of people think. Personally, I think I worked damn hard to get where I am, and it would be a shame to play dumb just because some people still think they are in 5th grade and can't handle other people having an opinion.

So everyone out there, if you are intelligent, for Pete's sake, show it! If you know something, talk about it! Don't sit back and let people bully you into shutting up, just because they think you are "blathering"! I always hated seeing the "cheerleader types" in school, because I knew damn well that most of them were intelligent people. Unfortunately, they preferred to stand around twirling their hair, and saying to the guys, "Um, like, wow, could you help me with this? It's haaaard!"

Fran....you have not been paying attention, girlfriend. There is a whole group of people on this board who think the war is a GOOD thing. They aren't sure why, except that their leader (a shrub....no, sorry - a bush) told them it was a good thing. An honorable thing. A necessary thing.

Someday George is going to say (privately, of course), "Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time." Unfortunately, a lot of blood will have been shed by then. American blood. In the name of protecting us from something that was never a threat to begin with. How sad.
