Under Carter, the US supported the covert funding of the mujahadeen, the Taliban's predecessor, and also, to a lesser degree, Osama bin Laden. America has made mistakes, just like any country (and major religion) has and will continue to do in the future. Funding extremist groups was a mistake of global proportions obviously, what are we supposed to do? Ignore it?

Respect is the basis for civility, for politeness, and for consideration toward others.

swift kick in the ass?

I respect black people more when they speak the language of Booker T. Washington, George Washington Carver, Martian Luther King, Colin Powell, Bill Cosby, etc. NOT "Ebonics" or Hip-Hop speech

is that who said that? I could not remember when or who I heard it from. Thanks though

nascar is a good sport to watch when drunk, becuase its really easy to follow. THEY'RE MAKIN' ANOTHER LEFT TUUURRRRNNN!!!

Just vote this is my way of flipping a coin on the internet and its more fun than doing it the mundane way!

no liberal-pinko-commie-stuff!!! wait until we divide the spoils or I will exile you to West Virgina!! and make you watch nascar!!!

I am not sure but it never hurts to ask, right?

well, best of luck! You may also think about checking out the big box stores like circuit city or best buy and order a custom made laptop through there.

sure why not!

Rule the World!!!

I have always shelled out the extra money and gone to a private computer business and sat down face to face with a real live person so I could explain what I wanted and have any questions I wanted answered right there in front of me. It will cost extra but there is no headache and if something goes wrong you can go down and talk to a person, not a voice on the phone or a automated message. IMHO it is well worth the money for that alone. Plus I am sure you can get a discount, they are all computer nerds in those places (most of the time) just wear a low cut shirt and bat your eyes at them!!!

Well the internet coin just landed "yes" side up and I just bought a Hat! This one to be specific, I think it looks spiffy! Filson - Shop By Category: Head & Hands: Hats: Tin Cloth Bush Hat

although i must say, I am amused at the idea of showing a film of a bonfire, in lieu of actually having one. it has an absurd, monty-phythonesque feel.

Vista was contracted out to the NSA as well, for that reason alone I will never buy it.

that also!!!

I have always had a paranoia about girls 'telling' me they are on the bill or some other form of birth control but they are really not so I have always worn my rain coat. I don't think I am going to know what it is like to not wear a raincoat until I am married and trying to conceive.

I actually asked the mall santa when I was 8 or 9 for a solid gold toilet for christmas. I was a weird kid

Your good looking as it is Bevers, I honestly don't see what another 20 pounds is going to come off.

y'all better hope i'm not getting a 'prince albert' piercing or something lol

no its not about the puppy issue. That will haver to wait until I move. Right now I am in town but I will be moving back out to the country soonish.

And I promise to let you all know what I was deciding on after the poll is over :biggrin1:

I agree with travelgirl's sister. My father did the same thing with me and my sister (giving money instead of gifts) and I like to think I have a good money sense becuase of it, as does my sister who just moved out of my dads house and seems to be doing great as far as understanding bills and 'money-sense' although 10% of her budget is devoted to alcohol and pot lol.
