Ginger, I love you and all, but you spell about as good as Ray Charles drives a car.

I know, I get to typing to fast and I am too lazy to go back and fix it.......... I said I am not sure how to spell simbionic.......symbionic? You know things that work in harmony.

I love you as a friend too Deano..........sorry for my imperfections. I am more the artist type, not the english type.

[artist4perry]

.even the common frog, or bugs have a beauty of their own, and purpose. How all things serve a purpose, and work in simbionic (sp?)

Oh Hell no. The water moccasin serves absolutely NO purpose other than to scare the shit out people.

I see those motherfuckers all the time out here in the woods!!!!!

They keep mice populations down. I think they are beautiful, behind a glass wall at the zoo. Not while biting me. I told you, I have killed them many times.

One time I was mowing my uncles yard on a riding mower. A king snake fell in my lap(he was up in a tree, trying to get to a bird's nest)..........I ran over that sucker 10 times........scare me will ya! Talk about you getting your heart started! Or stopped!

No biggie. King snakes are our friends. They kill rattlers out here in California. California King Snakes are the shit. They're immune to poison. Pisses off rattlesnake nation.

I know they are harmless, but they look like the water moccasins around here. I had no clue what fell in my lap, but it was destined to die.

Neither do the damned copperheads and rattlers that are all around here. The snakes are one of the things I HATE about the south.

Sorry Ginger, but I see no beauty in any reptile or insect. I'm just girlie that way I guess.

Copperheads are complete assholes as well. They need anger management classes.

I don't want to pet them......... But their construction is beautiful. How they move, how they reflect light, how they hide in leaves because of their camoflage........wonderful things. A walking stick looks like a stick, some bugs imitate bark, leaves, or the eyes of prey............some moths have eye spots to fool preditors. I love all things natural. Not on my lap, or next to me, but to observe in a zoo..........safely away from harming me. I always wished I could go to a zoo and see animals when they are being worked on for health reasons.......tigers and such. I would love to see all animals close up..........but I don't enjoy the veiw of angry jaws coming to take a bite out of me. I am picky I know.

Last time I checked the Constitution protects our rights to both.

Last I checked nobody was trying to take those rights away, we just don't want you trying to impose your beliefs on us or making laws that require us to live and teach our children according to your tenets.

I'm not against Christians per se, I'm against all organized religion because I believe them to be the biggest cons ever perpetrated upon mankind and the cause of more war and destruction of life than anything else in history.

I also live in the south, and my husband is an avid hunter, but he doesn't pay dues to the gun lobby because he sees it for the rip off and negative influence on the government that it is. He's seen too many people that he's grown up around or known his entire life, who are so poor that they have to hunt to feed their families but will dutifully put one dollar out of every 10 in a damned collection plate to support the preacher and unfailingly pay their NRA dues. They're the ones around here that have signs in their yard saying "I'm NRA and I Vote". Guess who they vote for.

well its been awhile then since you checked... brady bill #1... altering the rights to bear arms... is first step in taking the rights away... ask smokers... and it never ceases to amaze me this line... Iam not against religion... per se... against all religion??? relegion is not to be against... its be studied...and in the religion you believe in, you believe that there is someone higher than you... this line shows
that you are intolerant... with out trying to be intolerant... you cant have it both ways... you cant be not against christians per se, but against ALL organized religion... period.

the party that claims to be open minded, non-judgmental, tolerant really isn't.

So, are you saying that to be "tolerant" means to be "tolerant" of war? That's not going to happen.

I tolerate organized religion but that doesn't mean I have to agree with it or like it.

Dude, check yourself- the Brady Bill is a great bill. It has no intentions of taking away the 2nd amendment. It has to do with making sure the proper channels are followed so that certain individuals do not get their hands on guns. The asshole that shot Brady...you still think he should be granted the right to bear arms? LOL, come on man...no one is taking hunting rifles away...stop blindly following the fucking NRA for Christ's sake. The bill is to ensure the safety of the American citizen, "rights" be damned. The Constitution guarantees the citizens of this nation the "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" not go walk down the street and get shot at because someone needs their gun fix. The NRA is laughable. These assclowns advocate the need to possess machine guns and automatic weapons. Where's the need for that shit? Really?

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY -- In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
China established gun control in 1935 From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated
------------------------------
Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated ------------------------------
Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-----------------------------
Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.
------------------------------
You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, - gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens. With guns, we are 'citizens.' Without them, we are 'subjects'.

During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!

The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain All else is supplemental. SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY MALE OVER 18 A GUN! SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE TO AS A MEMBER OF THE MILITIA. HITLER DIDN'T INVADE SWITZERLAND BECAUSE OF THIS. HE IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE SAID, “SWITZERLAND DOESN'T HAVE AN ARMY -- SWITZERLAND IS AN ARMY." SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, IT'S A NO BRAINER ... LEARN FROM HISTORY, DON'T REPEAT IT!

President Barack Obama hit the golf course Saturday with Vice President Joe Biden.

Asshole.

Listen. Once and for all. In addition to starting a disastrous, illegal war, your idol, the worst President in American history, George Dubbya "Cowboy" Bush also presided over a record TWO recessions.

By this time in office he had spent FOUR TIMES AS MUCH TIME ON VACATION AS OBAMA HAS.

Signed, sealed, and delivered.

End of story.

Fuck off.

Wow...pull Obama's throbbing member out of your mouth a minute...this isn't about Bush anymore...his time, such as it was, is over and done with...Obama was golfing while his top aide was criticizing the head of BP for taking a day off to see a yacht race...that looks bad, very bad...and while you may be correct about how much time Bush was away from Washington, a President is NEVER on vacation.

As for the recession I have posted time and time again the first recession began BEFORE Bush took office...that one is Clinton's baby...since you are so fond of passing the blame for anything on Bush...well...there your other hero (do you have a semen stain on your dress too?) Clinton has a bit of blame to take as well...of course your liberal masters just want you to keep believing and keep repeating ad nauseum that it's all Bush's fault. Oh and the wars weren't ILLEGAL assfuck...go back and look...Bush had BOTH congressional and UN authorization. And actually the US had authorization from the end of the FIRST Gulf War to go in, at ANYTIME. PERIOD. END OF STORY.

You just keep showing yourself to be woefully uninformed and just another typical liberal who defends Obama regardless of what FACTS get in the way. And you continued hatred for past Presidents, well as long as they are Republican's borders on the obsessive and insane.

Fucking idiot.

The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), the group that officially dates the start of recessions, put it at March 2001. Just sayin.

I will find the links I posted earlier...regardless of what the NBER says, the economy stopped growth considerably earlier than March 2001. Even the VERY DATA NBER uses shows that.

And even if it started in March that means Bush was President about a month, maybe a month and 1/2...he didn't have time to wipe his ass let alone cause a recession.

Hell it can be debated whether or not a President can actually cause a recession to begin with.

Here is the first link, from CNN-IReport: http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-80312

Another one, but I am sure you and 7 will scoff at the it because it's from the National Review...but look at the data, and ignore the politics.

I view recessions as an unavoidable part of the business cycle. Just thought I'd pass the NBER data along. I know Conss question their findings because they don't look at quarterly growth or something like that.

Fucking cab driver should have armed up with a machine gun, blasting those motherfuckers and that would have ended their little fun night of rioting.

That shit happens in every city where a sports championship is won9save for hockey because their fans are a respectful group. See Chicago). I will say that LA is a definite shithole.

Let's be honest here. The rioting in the U.S. is almost exclusively committed by minorities. They act just like the filthy Euro soccer fans and South American nuts. Those rioters after the Lakers game were nothing more than oppportunists looking for an excuse to vandalize, cause havoc and grab a few free things.

"Oil is everywhere. It permeates our daily lives in ways we never think about. It's in carpeting, furniture, computers and clothing. It's in the most personal of products like toothpaste, shaving cream, lipstick and vitamin capsules. Petrochemicals are the glue of our modern lives and even in glue, too."

who was talking about war???

people need to be tolerant of other views/beliefs/opinions without the belittling & name calling. imo most of the nastiness here (in this forum) is coming from the left (the party that platforms on tolerance, being open minded & non-judgmental)... that is how i see it.

these were your words not mine...

I was talking about war being one of the reasons I'm against organized religion and you told me that was being intolerant. As I also said, I don't really give a damn what anybody believes as long as it's not imposed upon me and doesn't effect my life. I'm tolerant of religion even though I don't like it. My grandson attends a faith based school and I certainly don't love the child or his parents any less for it. War effects my life and I'm absolutely intolerant of war.

If you find my characterizing Christians as people who believe every species of animal on earth walked two by two onto a boat and road out a flood that covered the whole earth as being belittling that on you. That is a Christian belief and if you believe it and find it belittling then you're belittling yourself.
