What is your opinion of Occupy and their protests? Do you support them and agree with them? Do you feel like you identify with them at all? Are you against them? If so, why?

theknute They may try getting laws changed like you stated, who knows? But to me, Occupy seems like a fragmented group that does not know what it wants, aside from attention. ACORN's involvement bothers me, as does paying people an hourly wage to show up at the...

theknute LOL @ "DARN THOSE BANKS!" 2 words: financial education. If that was valued, there would be no Occupy. No bailout either. And no CASH FOR CLUNKERS lolololol! There needs to be more of an introspection here. "Why are we in this mess to begin with?"...

theknute I think the US has some good reasons, as would other nations, to help Israel protect against terror. Israel is literally on the front line of the war on terror. If Iran wiped out Israel, who will they get next? I agree, when Israel is attacked, let them...

theknute Excellent post! I like how you comment on what Occupy has been doing rather than just their positions on issues. I must say I didn't agree with Occupy much from the beginning, however I have identified with their frustration a bit. I was very against the...

theknute I also disagree with the whole Fannie May situation and how all that played out. I was against all of the bailouts from the beginning, which is when the whole country should have spoken out, in my opinion. Also, I think any increased government spending, be it...

theknute I also disagree with taxing Peter to pay Paul. I think there is a lot more to it than that, and in my opinion, socialism is at the root of the whole thing. Do you think the movement will continue strong for a while, or collapse?

They are announcing that Gov. Walker is cutting funding for cancer screening. What the budget he just signed does is balance the budget. There is nothing in the bill that said, "Cancer Screening". What it did cut was funding to...

theknute The whole liberal line "people will DIE!!!" always sends me a bit. When the new crop of conservatives trimmed things in the budget here in New Hampshire, we saw protests like that outside the state house. There were handicapped people in wheelchairs and...

I got a letter in my mail box yesterday that was obviously a Christmas Card. It was addressed to a Joanne something and it was similar to Jeanie..I did notice the last name was not my present last name, but I have so many...

theknute I also thought that the would-be-recipient (Joanne) probably won't get the card anyhow, since macdingolinger's address is the last one for her that the sender has. Returning it is still the right thing to do, and the sender will now know for sure that Joanne...

theknute I have the same problem with envelopes, macdingolinger! If brutality to envelopes were a crime, I'd never see the light of day! LOL! I usually rip the thing open down the side so the envelope is nearly torn in half. Might I say my wife HATES it when I do that....

theknute RawBill, I agree that having this happen is pretty common. Living on a back road, it happens to me all the time. It never happened when I lived in a suburban area, though. I agree that it's nothing to worry about.

theknute I agree with you about Romney possibly flipping to a progressive any day. If he's the only choice for Republicans, they may still vote him in. I think Romney is a lot like Obama in many ways. I also agree with you about Ron Paul: I also like his straight...

theknute I like to discuss various issues such as abortion, terrorism, taxes, the deficit, who I am voting for, and topics like those. I enjoy chatting with those I agree with, as well as those I disagree with. Sometimes, even if I don't agree with a person, I can...

It's only a matter of time before it spreads to the US Occupy groups. This, in the wake of the law the senate just passed that Obama is likely to sign, allowing to indefinitely detain US citizens suspected of "terrorism". As...

theknute Interesting post! I never thought of terrorism like that. I don't view terrorism as broadly as that. I did not know that London has no right of assembly, that is interesting.

theknute I also have not done much to financially support Israel lately. I have attended quite a few rallies and such, and did visit in 2004. You are right about the Biblical decree of Israel's borders. I can't believe more don't stand up for Israel. Thanks for...

theknute Wow. Amazing post! I could not agree more. I think anti-semitism is mostly unacceptable to society, but many use anti-Zionism as a cloak for their obvious Jew hatred. Thank you so much for your response!

theknute Thanks for the response urban. I do agree, however I don't think the nations of the earth will fully back Israel soon. I believe Israel will have to rely on God's provision, just as they have before. Israel will stand strong in the face of opposition!

theknute The best thing would be to see if the Post Office will return it, or send it yourself with a new envelope and stamp. It's too bad they don't know their friend's address. It is nice of you to want to return it.

theknute That sounds simple enough! What sites do you write articles on? Will most sites allow you to post ref. links in an article? Thanks for the cool idea!
