they have to make enough profit selling tobacco PER month for that to work, and honestly, CC is over-priced now. electronic Ciggies The link above is what many people will switch too. The great thing about it is that you can use this in non-smoking areas, and no one can do anything legally to you, because it's not covered by any ban, regulation, etc. Also, I don't think you can get Lung Cancer from Liquid Nicotine, and people complaining about THAT "second hand smoke" will be laughed at.

Kwame asks for donations Kwame Kilpatrick through his spokesman this morning asked his supporters to pray and pay. “For now the best way to help is pray for him and his family," New York-based spokesman Mike Paul told Free Press reporters in a story this morning. Paul also told the Free Press that supporters of Detroit's ex-mayor will soon be able to donate towards his restitution. The Detroit News today asked: "Will people come to Kilpatrick's rescue?" "In all honesty, yes there are," said Eric Foster a local political consultant and pollster in the Detroit News story. "As frustrating as it may seem, there are people willing to do that." The story also pointed out that since the text message scandal broke years ago, political patrons, prominent local businessmen and citizen supporters have donated thousands to Kilpatrick and his family. Wayne County Circuit Judge David Groner Tuesday ruled Kilpatrick guilty of violating his probation by not paying is $1 million owed to the city of Detroit in a timely fashion. Kilpatrick is scheduled for sentencing on May 25.

I'm an asshole because I can't handle half the shit life throws at me. Anger drives me because otherwise I would be in a mental institution.

"Breeder" is an insult??? ok...since when did being someone who is ok to BREED become an insult? do they realize that all of them came from "breeders"? It's not like Gays and Lesbians just come from odd alien pods.....or do they??? Hi-five to the Bisexual, because without you, threesomes would be MUCH harder to achieve...(I know it's shallow, but it's still a reason!!)

Wonder if he has remembered to eat...

"Perhaps you should read some actual employment numbers for the last 20 years. You don't trust any source I would produce, no matter who it was. You would find fault. So find your own numbers." Gosh...EXACTLY what you do...but your right everytime you do it... and btw...do you HONESTLY think that the unemployment rate we had at the beginning of Obama's term, or what we had now, suddenly appeared because he took office? Seriously, Gaf....please learn to THINK first. It't not a wild Scenario (which btw...called you on it)...it's just what it is, but ok...I'll take a look at the unemployment rate for the last year of Bush, and compare it to what we have today. 2007: the numbers 2010: the numbers Problem is, at least for you, is that the numbers SUPPORT my "wild scenario", at least in part, because while, yes, the unemployment rate is higher in 2010, you will notice, according to the numbers, that is is FALLING instead of growing, where as in 2007, you can see the problem GROWING. You also do not have anything akin to the talk of "disgruntled workers", a term added due to the large unemployment rate...which was NOT caused by Obama, but rather by Bush, where it GREW. Obama's administration has caused the job market to GROW. yes, the unemployment rate last year was the highest that our country had seen it in 25 years. That is correct...but to think that it was caused by a SINGLE year of Obama's term is ludicris. chart as you can see from the chart in the link, there is a severe spike between the Clinton-to-Bush administration, and yes, those first few years I will attribute to 9-11. Then, we have a steady 4.5-5.0 run, tipping here and there, but pretty steady month to month...but it hardly drops....infact, in the LAST YEAR OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION, it jumps from it's average 5.0 to a whopping 7.4. BUSHES LAST YEAR IN OFFICE SEES THE START OF THE INSANE UNEMPLOYMENT CLIMB WITH A 2.4 point JUMP in a year....and you expected it to stop right there? I actually APPLAUDE Obama, because if it was going the same as it was before, we would see a 13.6 at the end of this year. Instead...he has a drop...not a big drop...but a drop in Unemployment...and recorded GROWTH of jobs.

Sorry Torn...my bad I do however think that Palin will make a mockery of herself on the show, because she has a past history of it, especially when it comes to doing it on television. And she will make a mockery of herself because she is no-where near intelligent or prominent that everyone wants her to be. Lets face it: more people know about the porno parody of Palin then actually give a rats ass about the women herself, and if you talk to the majority of the people in the US, and yes...I do have a 200 people poll that I did myself, from people all over the US, most consider her a moron, or at least irritatingly stupid. Thats not my words...those are QUOTES. P.S. Poll was done without asking, or knowing, people's political standings/affiliations.

according to you, Gaf.....which please remind me....whats your degree in again? Is it economics? Or Marketing? Or anything relative to? I'll wait. *looks at clock* Yeah...done waiting. You're familiar with the adage "you have to spend money to make money" correct? Here's a shocker: that's an economic truth. I've seen your sources, and I find a flaw in many of them: either the papers, or the writers themselves, have a track record of being "anti-obama" from the start. Problem with that is as follows: they already had their mind made up, so much like you, it doesn't matter...they will take a fly from the spiderweb and place it in the vasoline, just so they can say they found the fly in the ointment. Their looking for the tiniest flaw to exploit. No one in the Obama Administration ever said that these measures they are taking are perfect, infact, it's been said on more then several occasions that the road to recovery is not a straight one. There are going to be problems, and tweeks will need to be made, but at least the man is giving us a START...and before you say a damn thing, yes, I can prove that the economy has actually been on an UPSWING SINCE Obama got into office, infact, after the first 6 months he was President. However, I doubt you would be forward thinking to take my proof, as you would try to pick it apart...and you could...because it's simplistic in nature...but it stands as fact none-the-less. You'll tout it as bullshyt and moronic, because thats what you like to do, but the facts will still be there...no matter how much you grumble and whine and deny. so go ahead and laugh...because you think your the only intelligent, proper thinking person on earth...or at least one of the few. Craigslist...and every other place online that you can look up employeement oppertunities. I will bet you my last breath that there is close to 50% MORE employement postings, every week, then there was at the end, or hell, even the middle, of the Bush Administration. And I am going on a week-by-week average, so to break it down: if you could go back 4-5 years, and look at all the job hunting engines, and take a "new posting" average week by week, and compare it to what the average is NOW, on those same engines, I gurantee at least a 40%+ rise in postings. and no...."more people realize their out there" doesn't count...just as many business's were aware of Monster, Yahoo JObs, etc back then as they are now...the reason is that there are just MORE JOBS. Period.

*snore* When you get off your high horse, Cher...please, let us know. You call it childish....I call it re-introducing the same kind of stupid stuff she has done in the past. Anyone that things she is a "right minded and intelligent individual" needs to go look up both terms, then go look at Palin's career and her quotes. She's a rock..not because she is stable and strong...because she's thick and has a lack of mental processing.

It makes perfect sense that the Discovery Channel is giving Palin the job to host a show about Alaska....so we can all discover how much of a moron she is. Beyond oil and the fact that it is the closest American State to Russia, I'd be shocked to find out if Palin personally knows anything else about Alaska. I can hear the briefing before every show. Network Intern: "Now, Mrs. Palin, we need to inform you that Alaska was home to one of the largest gold rushes in American history and that it is the 49th state added to the Union. It is also home to lots of tons of great North American wildlife and one of two states that are not connected to any other state." Palin: "Golly gosh...really?" Network Intern: *facepalm* "Exactly how did you become Governor of Alaska again?" Palin: "Cuz I'm a Hockey Mom!" Network Intern: *gunhead*

What's the last movie you saw?
IsleofRhodesEnt replied to Lillylu29's topic in Movies, Books, Art, TV, Gaming and Computers
Clash of the Titans (2010): Needs: LOTS more Ralph Fines (best acting in movie) as Hades; Some better full on shots of the Kraken. Has: bad acting (yes, I am looking at you Liam Neison), un-needed characters (seriously, was the made-from-wood guy even ness? talk about fodder), stuff that just doesn't happen (how in HELL do you instantly mirror the inside of a shield that is made from PURE scorpion scale?), and coincedences that make NO sense (Pegasus arrives JUST in time, ala Van Helsing timing). In whole: Someone watched Van Helsing and Disney's Hercules WAY too much before deciding to make this movie. Little acting, Too much eye candy, which buries any actual possiblity of a decent story. -
Damn....just damn....

as a side note, I am posting this Sarah Palin's "extremely lush" contract Gotta love it when people that are supposed to protest waste and over-expenditure of money have ridiculous contracts. This is one of the problems I have Gaf. While I thank you for the effort in clarification, the origions of what you were fighting, and what it has turned into seems to have become different things.

The Tea Party did enough of their own burying as well. Their members were/are not policed very well, and it's not like the goverment handed them those pickets....thats their choice of expressing themselves....and it seems that is more of a problem then this "Goverment coverup of the Tea Party's ideals".
-
hehe...teabaggers....now thats funny. your right, Gaf....I can't argue any of the main points of the Tea Party movement. Let me explain what I see, so that way you can understand where lies my problem, Gaf. It's not ignorance....it's the fact that it all seems to be more against Obama and not against the actual problem. They have the "other most controversial" figure from the presidential race to draw attention to themselves...and what does she want to do? Roll them into the Republican party. They claim to be against the insane and uncontrolled spending of money by the US Goverment, but how many of those signs carry the image of our former President, who is one of the main reasons we are in this current slump (which, since Obama has taken office, has gotten a little better economically...I have noticed more jobs being posted recently then in years past...more "help wanted" signs, etc)? I mean, if you can show me more media of this group then just the "largest Anti-Obama" group, then maybe some other consideration can be given, but for now, their own actions and choices show them to be little more then an Obama hate group. and you can post all the links you want about what they are SUPPOSED to be about...but there is way too much pointing in other directions.

Again...you can PRETEND to have liberty all you want...but being jailed for your beliefs is still taking away your liberty. Their not scared of you...they don't fear you...you are simply to be put out of sight and out of mind, so they don't HAVE to end up being scared or fearful of you. Same reason they could, and might, very well put a bullet in your head....because then your out of sight and out of mind, except for the fact that your a message for anyone else that wants to "express" themselves like you did. You talk about the goverment abusing power, but thats all you do....talk....I don't see you out in front of any of the federal buildings in Washington with a sign. Talk is cheap...actions are so much more. IF you really wanna fight against the "abuse", then spend your next whatsoever years outside the House's with a sign that most people won't give a rats ass about....have fun with that.

But the Right to life is taken away all the time and it's a violation of what we are supposed to have as Unalienable Rights. Look at the Death Penalty and Abortion, but you argue for those. I've have my right to liberty violated because a cop got out of the car, and thats his exact phrase "well, I'm already out of the car." I was not arguing against the Unalienable Rights, but I did call the founders out as being hypocrites when they framed and wrote the Declaration and the origional Bill of Rights, because it didn't apply to everyone, but to WHO they wanted it to apply too. Your going to come out and call me Hitler because your mis-interpreting the Bill of Rights?
