“Actually, our corporate owned and operated politicians are so very far removed and are not very nice people.

They are looking out for the corporation, not the human.”

“Well, are we not just a nation of consumers? I mean, we're not citizens. And really, if we were citizens, what would we be citizens of? There are no countries anymore.
Nike USA, isn't any different from Nike Singapore. Corporations don't think in terms of borders or countries.”

“I want my money and investments REGULATED and protected. I can earn what 1% on a CD, or try to make money in the stock market right? Unfortunately, I have this sense that these rich Wall-Street people are just waiting to skim my retirement for their own.

Bush wanted to Privatize Social Security..­... yeah, to enrich his buddies on Wall Street as we see,

Reaganomics, the idea that regulation and taxation is bad, proved that adults cannot play fair, they cheat just like spoiled, greedy, little rich children.”

This should not take place and there's more to it than meets the eye.”

“Body language says so much and no exception here. If they wanted to stop rumors, they would have posed lovingly, cuddly, etc., but there is obvious distance between them.”

duze replied on Nov 16, 2009 at 22:54:11

“And your an expert why? Could it be because no man ever wanted to stay in the same room with you. Worry about yours and only wish a man would give up for you what Brad CHOSE to give up to be with Angelina. And I don't mean, little miss anonymous Jennifer Aniston. Know why Jen is one of the richest women in Hollywood? because Brad was one of the richest men. He gave her everything and then left. A man only does that when he's in love. You remember love don't you. or maybe you don't.”

“My husband works for a locally owned homebuilder. The homebuilders were merely trying to keep up with demand. I'm pretty sure they would go back and wish for the years of typical home buying versus what happened from 2000 on.

A steady rate of inventory means most builders have a nice income each year.

Now, they have all downsized if not gone bankrupt. A builder cannot sit on inventory forever.

I'm angrier at Greenspan and his group for the policies of little or no regulation and low interest rates, which created a false economy in the first place.”

“Talk about someone who doesn't want responsibi­lity..... It is EVERYONE elses' fault.... dontcha know.

And if you have to wear that much make-up to look good, honey, you ain't a natural beauty (and in this case, inside or out).

Saw her on The View yesterday and it was so funny to watch the body language of The View women - there was definitely a "body distance" that was quite noticeable. Ms. Prejean probably felt the coldness as the ladies (except for the blonde) were having none of her B.S. Loved it.”

“I worked with O'Quinn for many years (I handled the money, not the law).

Trust me, there is no conspiracy theory here. John and Johnny were known to not wear their seat belts and if Johnny wasn't driving fast enough for O'Quinn, O'Quinn would take the wheel himself.

It is my understanding he simply misjudged both the weather and the time it would take to get back to Hobby airport.

I attended the funeral. Many people in shock. The firm will slowly be dissolved. My heart is broken for all.

He was a good man and so was his right-hand man, Johnny.”

“The only "real news" Fox airs is the little AP Ticker at the bottom of their screen and even then, they pick and choose what AP tickers will be shown.

Yeah, no Spin Zone.... except not reporting the "real news" is spinning the "opinion news."

How people can be so brainwashed by Fox is beyond me. Sad, simple, easily misled minds I guess.

I prefer PBS and its variety of shows, along with the Internet, or in Republican terms... "The Tubes."”

Seriously, if you were an Iranian and America was on both sides of you - you bet you would want the country to be defensive and if that means building a nuclear bomb, then so be it. It is so obvious - we are intimidating the he.ll out of the Iranians and then expect them not to respond?

“Tort Reform....­. Hum... I bet the Jackson family would like the right to sue Dr. Murray.... and sadly, he's not the only unethical doctor out there (well, the story of his life is starting to show a questionable man).

I worked for a PI attorney (personal injury) and trust me, there are doctors out there who use drugs, such as cocaine, to get through a long surgery, even though doing so causes slight hand tremors. There are also alcoholic doctors who work on patients who make errors in not only judgment but also in surgery.

And all doctors want to be absolved of their fellow "bad fellow doctors." Not right, just not right, especially when doctors protect one another at all costs, so now all have to pay.

Remember, there is always a doctor who passed last in his/her class, but is still a doctor.”

“Part of the problem is that most Americans don't understand the system. They think that some woman spilling hot coffee on herself who gets 25 million is a stupid thing and it is reenforced by people on the right who work for and support corporations. They didn't listen to the terstimony where McDoanlds executives essentially said, "we don't care if people get hurt," and hundreds had. The reason for these huge awards is to make it so expensive that it makes these callous, bottom line entities think twice about pushing their defective products.

Medical malpractice lawsuits are equally important to make doctors and hospitals, and all the other related health care business' consider the harm they do. The common people who scream "tort reform" never had someone die or lose an appendage because of some incompetent doctor or one who operated on drugs or alcohol. The Congress person who screams "tort reform" does so because he is paid by the medical industry to do so on their behalf even tho he pronised to look out for his constituents!

What people don't understand in this country is the word "negligenc­e." These awards would not take place if negligence had not been present. Not, "oops, I made a tiny mistake," but full blown negligence. Something that could have been prevented but wasn't!”

You know, I think instead of Bible Study groups where people pick a verse or two or three out and discuss it.... Well, I think all Christians should read the Bible from beginning to end....

We would have an entirely re-think of the Bible if we did so.... People would realize the inconsistencies throughout.

And do we really want to Talibanize the current Bible?”
