OK - I am registered as a Republican. So I am not bashing Bush here. Well, yes I am. Because the thugs I am talking about all work for the United States Government. A friend of mine has been ranting and raving about the Patriot Act, and for the most part I've pooh poohed him and made fun of him. But more and more each day I am seeing his point more clearly. So far, our government, acting in our behalf and hiding behind a shield of patriotism has put a law into place that violates the following three amendments to the Constitution of the United States of America - a document many of us have been sworn to defend from enemies - BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. Now, we can eject the current government through the vote - but who do we put in their place? The running Democrats are no better. Anyone can compain about something and how screwed up it is - but it takes thought and effort to complain about something and then offer a viable solution. I thought about voting for the Libertarian party this time around - but then I have to ask myself - am I throwing my vote away? Or am I getting both major parties to pay attention? Read the Patriot Act and then read the three amendments below and see how they are being trashed. And we let it happen. Because it started back during the drug wars - and we said - drug wars - hell that doesn't affect me - let them confiscate property without due process - they are just slimey drug dealers. Only, something happened. We set a precedent. My friend quoted Thomas Paine at another site about the ACLU - and it is so true - "He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself." -- Thomas Paine -- That is kind of where we are now. Read the amendments Amendment IV The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Amendment V No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. Amendment VI In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense. Then tell me if they have been trashed. Then tell me what the hell we can do about it.

yeah stinky, I know all about the shit drugs are fine for some, although eventually their brain frys but when a dude kills someone in such a violent manner, dude richly deserves to die, and fast

Fuck that. If you dinks want to climb in world hotspots, you're on your own. Quit yer bitchin'.

it's simple really. the dude should die. he's a threat to society, especially considering he's a nutjob.

I'm wearing a chick's panties that were left at my bedside. They smell like girlcum and have kept me erect all day.

Isn't Canada part of the U.S?

robby, we've all known about you for some time now.

1. If you like tight young oriental gals this is the town for you. 2. In order to be a cocktail waitress at the Venetian you must have boobs bigger than your head. 3. When the rodeo is in town it brings a unique smell with it. 4. Taxi drivers tap the horn twice before plowing through the crowd in the cross walks. Flew down for a few hours and had a good time - even won a couple bucks. It's good to be home though. I'm off for a beach run to work off the Belagio Buffet.

Sisu, wouldn't it be safer to cook at a high heat to kill the trich?

Fuck you, Gomer. That's about the dumbest thing you've said this year.

You know what's bizarre? I truly believe that if the U.S. completely pulled out of Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, Israel, and other hot spots, these countries would revert back to their fucked up warring ways just like Vietnam. We'll never make a lasting impact. In fact, I predict Russia will again become the evil empire within a few years.

A beautiful, blonde goes to her local pet store in search of an exotic pet. As she looks about the store, she notices a box full of frogs. The sign says: "Sex Frogs! Only $20 each! Money Back Guarantee! (Comes with complete instructions)." She looks around to see if anybody's watching her and whispers softly to the man behind the counter, "I'll take one." The clerk packages the frog and says, "Just follow the instructions carefully." The girl nods, grabs the box, and is quickly on her way home. As soon as she closes the door to her apartment, the girl takes out the instructions and reads them thoroughly, doing exactly what it says to do: 1. Take a shower. 2. Splash on some nice smelling perfume. 3. Slip into a very sexy teddy. 4. Crawl into bed and place the frog down on the bed. She then quickly gets into bed with the frog and, to her surprise and disappointment, nothing happens! She is totally frustrated and quite upset at this point. She rereads the instructions and notices that at the bottom of the paper it says, "If you have any problems or questions, please call the pet store." So, she calls the pet store. The clerk says, "I had some complaints earlier today. I'll be right over." Within five minutes, he is ringing her doorbell. The lady welcomes him in and says, " I've done everything according to the instructions and the damn thing just sits there." The man, looking very concerned, picks up the frog, stares directly into its eyes and sternly says: "Listen to me! I'm only going to show you how to do this one more time!"
