I'd need more details before I could answer.

Because the Republicans control both houses of Congress. W's startin' to get sloppy though.

Well, I voted for Chief just because he had the gonads! :lol:

Yeah, the reason that they haven't is the obscure loophole they're using allows him to do this in a state of declared war...but only during the first 15 days. :wtf:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4542880.stm I can't come up with a single good reason to go about spying this way. There are retroactive warrants, special secret courts... and he feigns anger and calls out Hilary Clinton. Big mistake. Believe it or not, there are actually people backing up his right to do this. I've said it often lately, if you've wondered how a free people would willingly turn that freedom over to a dictator, just sit back and watch. Chief is right though, it's not like this is anything new. But the gall of this guy when caught red-handed to actually say to the nation that not only has he the authority, but that the WHISTLE BLOWERS are the problem? Frightening!

OK, I'm not sure that I understand completely. Did he use a sample or did he just say a few of the lines? Don't understand the RRC thing either. :hmm:

OK, interesting perspective. So, why do you believe that eliminating Black History Month would cause publishers to put more black history in text books? What do you believe would be their motivation? And how do you think eliminating it would cause blacks and whites to want to live together? Do you think that they would live together now, but because of Black History Month there is too much resentment?

Never said you didn't, just trying to decipher it. :-) So what you are saying is, they don't put black history in the history books because they figure people learn enough about black history during black history month? And that because of this people separate from each other along racial lines?

Southern USA? How old are you?

Yes, please do! Where are you from Tim? :-)

:hmm:

Don't necessarily agree with that. I understand and appreciate the spirit of what he's trying to say, that we often unnecessarily magnify race issues... but I'm not sure that the best policy is to ignore the problems that persist. I agree. I think that if we can get past skin color and the prejudices that are associated with them, we can move on. Black history month is a necessary thing, unfortunately. Without it, kids in general won't take time to learn about black history, and teachers would likely not take the time to focus on black leaders. The ideal situation would be that we wouldn't need a black history month, that black history would be addressed throughout the year as part of the history of the western world. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Black kids specifically need to see how things used to be, how things are now, and how things could be in the future if they seek to emulate those in their past and improve upon their accomplishments. :word: Don`t know whats up in America but over here that is the case. Can you give a couple of examples of black history that is commonly taught in your country? Can you explain this? Are you sure that you know what segregation is?

Yep, Joe Webb is a big time JW. Yep, big time JW, an elder in fact. Used to host bible study in his crib all the time. He's still admired and revered in his Kingdom Hall on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Stole hundreds of thousands of dollars in royalties from me and my family. Even went so far as to forge all of our signatures on legal documents and get it notarized by some crony of his. His name is JOE WEBB and he lives on East 6th St in NYC... just to show you that I have absolutely no fear of defamation of character claims. THE MAN IS A CROOK!!!

A Jehovah's Witness ripped me off for hundreds of thousands of dollars... but I don't hold it against all of you. Well... not really....

You have to take into account the era in which Jesus lived. He lived during a time where Jews were concentrated in the middle east and had not had serious enough interaction with other cultures with light skin to produce what you would see in Israel today. During the Roman Empire, Jews began to scatter throughout the empire, and after the fall of the Roman empire, Jews continued to scatter throughout Europe. As a result, Jews married Europeans had children and their decendents were mixed. During the Zionist movement, a large number of Jews in Europe migrated back to the middle east. This is why many of the Jews you see today have light skin. Jesus lived during a time where the preponderance of Jews would have had darker skin consistent with that region. What is more, the grand majority of European descended Jews are Ashkenazi Jews, who are not descended from Hebrews at all. They are descended from an Aryan/Turkish stock of people who converted to Judaism in the Middle Ages. This is why their native language is not Hebrew, but Yiddish.

Like a bad penny! :lol:

Actually, Tim was one of the Wise Men present when this particular prophet was first born in his manger and wrapped in swaddling clothing. In fact, yours truly may have handed him that first banishment that sent him forth to bring light upon the Web.... I guess I'm going to hell. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Y'all have to understand, he has been banned from so many boards under his usual name that now he has to come from left field just to get a few of his "prophecies" through. Our Mr. "tm" is infamous! The Funky Spunk probably refers to his funky spunky rhyme skills. Yeah, that's right! Look for him to "bless" us any day in Numero Uno! :rofl: :rofl: Yeah, that one's a KEEPER!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The article doesn't clarify, but he may be entitled to that money. It all comes down to who his brother's rightful heirs are. If he is, the crime would be in his not having the checks changed over to his name, so that the income could be properly reported to the IRS.

I haven't seen these billboards yet, but I doubt if they can be worse than those horrible Reebok posters with him and his police fingerprints blotter sheet with the caption "I am what I am". Those enraged me to no end!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I can't wait to see who he nominates next. I wonder if his 6th grade English teacher is available. :lolsign:

:sad:

It's good to see that they don't mind profiting from something they are there to protest... Silly Republicans... tricks are for kids... :word: "Don't go to see Kanye West, his terrible lyrics are destroying the fabric of our moral foundation. Wanna buy a ticket?" :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
