I'm voting for Barrack Obama because I'm black.

Angra_Mainyu @Angra_Mainyu (377) • United States 6 Sep 08

Some people vote because of race. Regardless of the candidate's qualifications. If that were the deciding factor in the presidential election then Barrack Obama doesn't have a chance. I'm voting for Obama because I'm black. Have...

comedyaddict Maybe I'm a cynic when it comes to politics; politicians lie or twist the truth for your vote, so why not vote vote for someone simply because you like him or are the same color. Maybe voting because of his color is the best reason, at least he can't change...

MrCoolantSpray @MrCoolantSpray (1005) • United States 23 Mar 07

He's a wonderful actor. One of the best out there, I'd say. Up there with Hoffman. That notwithstanding, have any of Dicaprio's characters lived to see the end of a movie? *spoilers, i reckon* He dies in Blood Diamond, he dies...

comedyaddict I think it is just a feature of Firefox that you are seeing. I only normally use Firefox, but am using IE7 now and there is no spell checking for me. Which sucks, since I live by using the spell checker.

Car Insurance Renewal

daycarepal @daycarepal (1998) • United States 22 Mar 07

When it's time to renew your car insurance each year, do you shop around for a better price or do you just automatically renew with the company you are already with?
