"Call In Gay"

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 9 Dec 08

The anti Prop 8 crowd in California is really doing their part for the economic woes of that state. I have to hand it to them, they have come up with a way to make it easier for management to decide who should get the ax when lay...

devylan I agree only to the extent that I myself am not allowed to involve myself in any type of protest because I am employed by the state in which I live. In other words, if you're allowed to protest, like most Americans are, do it responsibly. Where did you hear...

A Nation in Debt Going Deeper Into Debt to Encourage More Debt...

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 26 Nov 08

One of the biggest financial burdons on any individual, family, company, organization or government is debt. When we go into debt we automatically give ourselves a cut in pay. When we go into debt, we chain ourselves to months or...

devylan I fully agree with your sentiment, Ted. That's what I really don't understand. Our government has already been in debt (to whom exactly?), and now our banks are in debt, and in turn our people, so where is all of this money coming from? Just like the old folks...

In Obama's own words... we don't need him.

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 26 Nov 08

“What we don’t need is the same old people doing the same old things in the same old ways.” ~Barack Obama. Sen. Obama said this when he was on the campaign trail in Idaho. So far his cabinet is exactly what he describes here......

devylan Actually, I just heard on NPR the other morning that he's putting his political views aside and picking people with the most experience, whether they're Republican or Democrat.

Chapter 11, Not Bailouts for the "Big 3"

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 18 Nov 08

Why should the government bail out the "Big 3" car companies when other giants have been allowed to either go out of business completely or be acquired by other giants? How are GM, Chrysler or Ford jobs anymore sacred to the...

devylan Politics aside, I completely agree with you here. We live in a capitalistic society, so let it play out the way capitalism is supposed to. It's sink or swim!

Are you colorblind?

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 18 Nov 08

I didn't find out that I was colorblind until Jr. high. Wanting to follow in my dad's footsteps as an electronic engineer, I signed up for a basic electronics class. Before long we figured out something was up because I had a hard...

devylan Well, Ted, I'm not colorblind, and I don't even think I realized you were. Wow. The things you find out about your friends on this site. It's amazing. I think it's cool that you joke about it, though. I would definitely get tired of people's...

Looking on the bright side

xfahctor @xfahctor (14118) • Lancaster, New Hampshire 6 Nov 08

As most of you regulars know, I am not a democrat or a Republican and the guy I was supporting didn't win. However, I want to take a moment to congradulate Barak Obama on his win and for what should be the pinical of the dreams of...

devylan Lol. Well, good for you, X. Really, I mean it. I hope he does all that and more. And yes, it would be great to have more choices the next time around. I have to ask, though, why doesn't your daughter want to be a Democrat anymore?

Obama may have bigger worries than skin heads.

xfahctor @xfahctor (14118) • Lancaster, New Hampshire 5 Nov 08

I think I have more than clearly stated I do not believe Obama to be a secretly practicing muslum. I know he is a christain and depsite the rantings of a few in here and on blog sites, it's pretty much accepted he is a...

Holy sci-fi!

xfahctor @xfahctor (14118) • Lancaster, New Hampshire 5 Nov 08

Not really a political discussion but occured as part of election coverage. I was astounded, this was the sruff of science fiction just a few years ago. A hollogram used on cnn to bring a coraspondent in to the studio. Those who...

What Does Having a Leader Who is Black Mean?

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 5 Nov 08

With the celebrations going on today by people who just know that a President who is Black will do great things for other Black people reminds me of a man in one of the Army units I was in. When I first got to the unit they...

Phase 1 of the new democratic agenda: Eliminate Lieberman

Taskr36 @Taskr36 (13963) • United States 5 Nov 08

So now as part of their takeover it's time for them to go after those who chose to think for themselves rather than "fall in line" as has been the motto for the democrats this election. Lieberman is number one on the list. I'm...

Congratulations Obama and Democrats in the US!

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 4 Nov 08

It was a long and hard fought campaign, and I can't say the best candidate won (since all the best candidates were taken out in the primaries), but the one who put on the best campaign definitely did. There are many reasons why...

devylan Well, Ted, you've taken it better than expected. I actually cried tears of joy when I heard about it, and I thought McCain made a nice speech, and it was honorable of him to have shushed the booers in the audience.

RNC Appears to Shell Out $150,000 For Palin Fashion

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 21 Oct 08

I guess the small town values Sarah Palin likes to talk about doesn't include shopping for a wardrobe fit for a Vice Presidential campaign for herself and her family! The RNC has apparently spent over $150,000 for clothing and...

devylan Oh, I'm sure the campaign picked everything. She's much more stylish looking now than she was at the beginning, wouldn't you say? Apparently, they made a statement that they had always intended on giving the wardrobe away to charity. Who knows if this is the...

Even the D1ck Cheney Never Tried This!

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 21 Oct 08

Yesterday, while Sarah Palin sat for an interview with KUSA, an NBC affiliate in Colorado, she was asked a question sent in by local third grader, Brandon Garcia: "What does the Vice President do?" Here is Palin's reply -...

ZephyrSun @ZephyrSun (7381) • United States 21 Oct 08

I've seen a lot of hate and awful things going on in this election but, this one REALLY is a topper. Don't get me wrong I'm all for hunting as long as you eat what you kill. But this is just disgusting- "CULLOWHEE, N.C. –...

devylan That is really weird, and yes, I am apalled. It's obviously a threat, but I'm not sure in which direction the threat is being pointed. Either way, it is disgusting. If nothing else, I hope whoever did it gets in trouble with some sort of hunting violation. I...
