I think they should all have open air meetings in the rose garden, how would that work for you? Just curious

From and outsiders perspective I would say Obama is far better than Bush, especially the job he is doing repairing the reasons why most of the world hates America.

I think when America gets back on it's feet we should tell the rest of the "world that hates us" to go find aid elsewhere.

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. -- A Michigan teen who was sentenced to four days in juvenile detention Thursday for refusing to visit his father was released after spending only one night there.

Macomb County Judge John Foster reversed his previous decision Friday to order Jacob Mastrogiovanni, 14, to spend four days in a youth home for refusing to see his father, who has joint custody of him.

Mastrogiovanni said he has deliberately missed court ordered visitations with his father, and because of that, Foster had ruled he should be held in contempt of court and sentenced to time in a youth home.

Foster said his decision was in part based on Platevoet's statements about not being able to control her son.

Local 4 learned that his father came to visit him in the youth home Thursday, but Mastogiovanni refused to see him.

Matrogiovanni will be back in court Monday, so a judge can decide who he will spend the holidays with.

The excuse for bad service was "it was very busy" poor excuse, they should only seat as many customers as they can serve well.

It seems that you possibly chose someone who may have assumed...

I agree with exquisite woman.
right on!!!
children first - no matter how old. Hes still young and needed his moms help.
nothing wrong with that.
like you said, husbands can be replaced.

husbands can be replaced

if this was a good husband he would had kept his mouth shut and took it one day at a time

something deeper than this issue was going on. you two were pretty invested in blame. you both wanted to make the other the problem, when a little basic communication could have gone so far.

A while ago this guy says to me "I wish you instigated sex more but the only time you are playful is during the day when I am reading or something."

If a person doesn't have health care, how long would it take for them to get back to work due to the care they received or not received? This is lost production because they are at home longer.

If these posts are true, as i am not american, i'd hate to know how many production hours are lost due to employees not being able to get health care or not being able to find work due to illness.

Do you think all presidents have had a moment during a kiss where they wish they had not been photographed?

in better than forty years of following american politics this salute thing is hands down the dumbest single moment.

Do you always fight him on everything?

Do you look for reasons to start something?

Do you oppose him at every turn? Do you push his buttons and get him so upset he pops?

My guess is that the answer is yes, and he told you he burned the agreement (your agreemen, not his) because he knows that you are fighting him, and if you would stop and pay attention to what you are doing, everything would be better and he would not lose the investment he has in you.

I may be cynical but all that poll tells me is that 30% of Americans are too stupid to understand what the word "option" means.

I say now that he is leaving CNN you will see him follow that crazy train know as Beck to Fox where he can let that racist opinion fly like he does on his radio show.

The truth us, the fact that they actually believe it is what makes it so funny. It's as if they thinking repeating the word "terrorist" (or "socialist" or fascist or communist, etc) will make everyone as scared as they are

the first terrorist attacked was done here and people from Middle east/muslim learned from the best here in the states, especially southern white baptists/KKK. give yourselves a hand folks.

and it is illegal in the United States to do business with the bank.

A 97-page complaint details involvement in foundation business by several top Iranian officials, including the deputy prime minister and ambassadors to the United Nations.

"For two decades, the Alavi Foundation's affairs have been directed by various Iranian officials, including Iranian ambassadors to the United Nations, in violation of a series of American laws ,"

And now we may have a Terrorist attack on American soil

why is it that there are a huge numbers of people one can meet on the street or on the net whom support single payer but, it has never been put up for even a discussion on the floor of those whom are said to represent us?

I am callin Shenanigans!

One is an instance of someone losing their reason over a span of some months, with many extenuating circumstances to account for it, and the others are examples of people with long held beliefs acting out against what they percieve to be their enemy.

Again, going after one individual in a thead based on previous postings in long past threads, seems to indicate having a weakness for the current argument, turning a general discussion into a personal one, and going off topic.

I am wondering why you are so fixated on what I post as to remember and bring up posts I have made months previous to this.

Not that you actually care to know, but the term is Secondary Traumatic Stress Disorder. It is experienced by PTSD counselors in the military, VA, civilian professions and even more profoundly in lawyers who specialize in vicitms rights who have no training on how to walk that path without compassion fatigue or burnout and undue stress upon themselves. You may google Secondary Traumatic Stress Disorder if you really care to know what caregivers are subject to.

If this was not meant as an act to show his hatred of America and the War, Why did he drive back to Base and Kill those in the Military?

A few weeks ago I posted a thread about asking the right questions in the relationship. Ive been dating this guy for 2 months. For the first 6 weeks it was great, we hung out all the time, spent lots of time at eachothers places, called and texted quite alot.

you just want it to stop ... you develop a real hate and it can eat you up. It can turn you into something so totally different than what you normally are.

It seems very obvious to me that the easy availablity of high powered guns is a factor "the general easy availability of guns and ammo here ...let's face it , it's a different story to have to go on a "mass stabbing spree."

“Tokyo's Akihabara district, a popular shopping area for consumer electronics, was still in shock on Monday following a killing spree by a 25-year-old man who plowed a rented truck into an intersection full of pedestrians, then began stabbing bystanders at random. The rampage, which left seven dead and 10 injured, was another reminder of a violent side of Japan that is not often discussed.
Japan has one of the lowest crime rates in the developed world, yet the country still sees spasms of stunningly brutal, often random killings. The June 8 Akihabara massacre occurred exactly seven years after a former school janitor with a history of mental illness stabbed eight children to death and injured many others at their elementary school near Osaka. The nation has seen a spate of stabbings already this year, including a shopping-mall knife attack in March in which one was slain and seven were injured.”

Clearly some only want their news framed in context of their faith - and that's what the Republican party is becoming: faith based.

I just read that AARP is going to endorse the the house democrats and the health care reform bill

They spoke on condition of anonymity because the endorsement is not official yet

Once again,what are you even talking about.I don't think the polls on Obamas approval rating has a shred to do with whom is voted in on a few state elections,that has absolutely nothing to do with Obamas Approval,and these ratings I'm talking about are different from the polls your talking about.Here you spout off Black and white and instead you throw us gray.You need to go to another poll for that.

Are you trying to say that one needs to do heroin to understand whether the war on drugs is a total waste of 100s of billions or a shining exemplary example of a successful strategy.

Did you have to be a drinker to completely understand that prohibition did not work in fact it was the direct reason the Mafia got its foothold,so thank the goody two shoes for the mafia

All these drugs used to be legal until the perfect conservative and religious persons demanded they be heard and created this hell they call inner city gangs and a war on drugs,what morons,we should be able to hold them criminally liable for causing so much harm.

How did this become a question of political party

see what happens when you elect a Reagan ?

The President may be the Commander in Chief, but he is firstly a civilian. The Constitution is specifically clear about the President being a civilian and not a member of the military. In the United States, civilians do not give military salutes to the military.


And then there’s this ignorant post:


Obviously ‘politicized’, or that poster would have googled and discovered that Reagan had, in fact, enlisted...the Army Air Corps...was what he had to ‘settle’ for due to his disability and the service’s physical requirements.

So you tell me, “when did this become political”. And by the way, I agree with you...the Commander in Chief would be a low life sumbytch if he didn’t return a salute to those he expects to protect him...and Michelle...and their daughters...oh yeah, and us.





~ds~

There is no one higher in position in this country and he is the Commander and Chief,everyone in the military,of all branches, are his soldiers,heck ya,he can salute,what a dumb question.

Killene its right there in black and white on your link 57% approve of Obama. Yet you still update us on a tenth of one percent when these polls can vary 12% all polling the same thing.

P.s - I ESPECIALLY am talking about a scenario where the man is your BOYFRIEND...you have a RELATIONSHIP....

Hmmmm, not sure where you're getting your facts from. I'm not in California and right now I'd have Wudger's babies.

Oh wait, that's right. I'm not in the US and to guys like you, the rest of the world doesn't exist.

I have no problem with SUVs for a decent reason. you need to drive a big Suburban because you are contractor, makes perfect sense. you want to be one of these Escalade driving accountants I see around town, who can't even parallel park the thing, stop running the planet into the ground for your ego and stop clogging up the highway with your lousy driving in a big machine.

You can't expect Obama to stop it though - he takes flak if he doesn't wear a stupid pin for God's sakes

You joined a dating site a month and a half ago... she has reason not to trust you.

This is the favorability poll

Reading is fundamental!

legalized marijuana...a possible American reality?
