Again, Matt, you have a right to your opinion. Your opinion is wrong though. I would say you and I have very opposite opinions on most things, just by reading your comment. You won’t be changing my beliefs, and I doubt I could change yours. They are just beliefs, not facts. You talk very globally and sound as if you have the facts, but it is really that you “believe” you have the facts. I believe you don’t.
The liberal media, journalists, college professors, etc have indoctrinated our youth for years and continue to do so. I am not a fan of NPR, BBC, MSNBC and don’t listen to the UN.

So your suggesting that our trillion dollar a year war which cannot be sustained is completely justified because we are the for runners of the leadership. I find that had to believe being that out economy is failing. Were having trouble running our own country and you think we should run others, I think that is flawed logic.

We shouldn’t be bullying other countries just because they have threatening technology or have different political policys and views. The UN is for policing the world. The UN should ask for our help , not us declaring war and asking for the UN to back us up.

I find it funny that people want the US to solve the worlds problems but yet we still have an extrodinarily high rate of unemployment, Impovrished people, homeless , high crime rates , and a economic crisis. . . . BUT mack says we should fight ” THEM “.

Sorry mack I just don’t see any justification of a large scale war that bankrupts are economy and threatens the lively hood of Americans. To me that is not a trade off I believe is justified. Its the poor cognitive thought of not looking at the big picture and reprocutions that will lead our country into its collapse.

I don’t agree with you to the extent that we are always the ones in the world who must go and fight. Our leadership in the world keeps the world as stable as it is.
We have to keep doing it. If there is a dictator anywhere in the world invading another country, for instance, The USA will be there fighting them. This war is not wrong. I am sure parts of it are wrong, but of course we will make mistakes..

I think every one has a valid point to an extent. Yes Mack the new is just propaganda fueled by bias oppinions and selective coverage, And yes the Oil Companies are making record profits as well as making a surplus and still jacking the price threw the roof. But no Bush is the enemy. He threw us into a War Which was initialy started as a koo of the iraqi goverment , supposedly because they had WMD’s which we never found. Unfortunatly my views on the war are unimportant but what is , is the fact that the cost of living and the wages paid just dont match up. Unless you work more then one job it will eventualy catch up to you and bankrupt you as well. Wages are low and offset by overseas cheap labor, as well employee benefits are poor. If i was to injure myself and didn’t have insurance theres no way ill be able to live a comfortable life still repaying a debt to a medical center. Its small things that are out of our control that add up and thrust our lives in unwanted directions. Yes you make your life into what you want but , some times unexpected things come along. The whole point is , things were pretty well befor bush and this ludacris war. Unfortunatly id give our country a decade at most befor a serious depression sets in and things become realy bad, if something is not done immediatly to correct out goverment spending and our labor problems.

Iraq is the new Vietnam, but no one is standing up against it . We are being bullied by our government and no one is standing up. We as a people need to Stand up togeather to make a change.

And just remember , the revolutionary war which created our country was fought over a fraction of a cent tax on Tea. How many taxes do you pay annualy.

Hollywood, I disagree with most everything you have said, but I do agree that you have the right to feel the way you do, so I leave your comments here. Sounds like life has kicked you in the teeth lately. I am sorry about that. I think if you were to step back and get away from the liberal media (yes NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, all very biased) you would hear some truth; and I didn’t mention NPR(the most liberal state sponsored propaganda on the airwaves) — Bush is not the enemy.

Wow joey I think You are completely off point. No one said we were not happy to be in America. And as you say we live in america so doesnt that afford us the right of freedom of speach? The point is the economy is in a decline and you can trace it to Bush and the other officials in office. Many companies are sending work over seas to increase their profits and puting americans out of work, which is counter productive in my opinion, because those out of work cannot afford the produyct that these same companies now sell. There has just been a negative turn of events that has sent us to this state where the Fed is cutting rates left and right to stave off a recesion and oil companies are turning record profits. The voice of the average Joe is hidden in the termoil of an economy that is built for corperate profits. That used to be ok because of the trickle effect, but now the trickle is going to some guy in india working for peanuts.And as far as doing something to better yourself, well I guess my graduate degree and those 7 years in college were worthless. How do I think I will survive, well I am adapting to a global economy and taking advantage of the fall of the US Dollar. i do design work for european clients now and they pay less out of their pocket because the exchange rate is in their advantage.

Yea, mine are 70, and still no cash . . . What’s the deal there? I’m using mine to fix up my car. (New suspension and tires) I need to get to and from work, after all. If there’s any left over after that, it’ll go toward the outrageous gas prices . . .

My last 2 digits are 66, which means I was supposed to get mine May 9th as well. But, nothing is in there.

I agree with Joey for the most part we all make our own decisions and as a result of if is the way our life is lived. I myself am a single mom of two kids and i make it just fine with no help from anyone.. I will be using my money to better my life and put it towards a new house.. If you don’t like something change it we do live in a free country and we have the choice to change our lives..Some people are just to lazy to do it..
