what, my contacts at PETA would get back at you.  if someone approaches you with red paint, RUN.
Lol. You already ratted me out?  grin Abeg polar bears move aside, human beings take priority. After we have chop belleful then we can talk about you.

i know it isn't free and that's why we shall take money from NASA and the army to get me a free medical marijuana card 
why send a rover to moon when a cheap LSD trip can take you there  [size=3pt]say no to drug kids[/size]
LOL. This is too funny lol. Are you sure the marijuana is medical? was is Dr Phil that gave you that prescription?

what exactly is the national security threat. heck our home based terrorists are of more concern to me than china or some talibani dude.  the US is luckily protected by two oceans.  i personally do not see a reason why the army needs all these expensive toys (which we aren't gonna use anyway) in a time where state governments are struggle to fund health care and pension plans.
Do you want us to find out the hard way? I'm in favor of 'over-preparedness'. If that is the sin the army is committing then may they continue to revel in it shamelessly. They can definitely spend wiser and cut back, no question. But outrageously wasteful "projects" like these in my own backyard are slipping under the radar why the masses are villifying the army for trying to protect us:

$4.6 million bridge being built by the state for horses - Other Massachusetts bridges languish
  http://topics.myfoxboston.com/m/34590530/4-6-million-bridge-for-horses-eyed.htm

The span known as the horse bridge crosses over Route 24 in Randolph and is being rebuilt for $4.6 million, up from its original price tag of $2.6 million . . . It's potentially used by the 30 or so horses at Mullin's farm and by about 20 horses at a neighboring farm. That means the state is paying about $92,000 per horse to fund the $4.6 million dollar horse bridge.
^^now this is poster-child for government waste. Not weapons specialist Mr. Anderson who's trying to build a faster, stealth jet so the US can keep an eye on those feisty, trigger-happy North Koreans and keep us safe.

I know NASA scientists have been responsible for many discoveries ( can we say tempur-pedic beds  cheesy) but these guys are wasteful

http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/missions/x33_cancel_010301.html

our airforce buddies have expensive, maintenance cost guzzling toys of their own too

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/02/AR2010030203930.html
Me self I will join hand with you and say no to the waste above. We can all tighten our belts from top down, the army has been known to waste in the past so no objections from me at all . . . but don't hate on those tempur-pedics oh, those things are like clouds  grin

I personally would like to see this money diverted to our national labs and research institutes or to rescue struggling state school boards like the one in Detroit. landing on the moon or having the fastest warplane is not that much of a priority IMO.
I think you're muddying 2 seperate issues.

  Contrary to you and many others, I do not think that many 'struggling schools' simply need more money thrown at them. Infact, I believe the national statistics show that more and more money is being spent per head of each child in public schools year after year (no doubt some of it is simply higher costs of everything). The problem with the rot in schools starts at home. More and more children are not being parented right or at all - we see this evidenced in their attitudes in school and in the community. Pumping in more money may give them Apple computers and oak-lined chairs instead of Dells and cold aluminum seats - but it will not make them better students or better children.

  I do concur though that funds are needed to provide better teachers, a good teacher can in certain cases make a world of difference.

  And I also concur landing on the moon may not be that important in the grand scheme, but I think having the fastest warplane here on volatile earth is very very important - staying ahead of the technological curve is absolutely vital to me. I'm serious oh. Of what use is there having well-fed, educated people if their safety cannot be guaranteed? Safety is just as important as education, if not more in my book.

a leftist is crazy by default.   where did you think those peace love and happiness hippies came from  cheesy
we have a lassez-faire perspective when compared to conservatives.

low budget, not sponsored by any of the biggies, directed by ma guy guy ritchie

has on its list, Jason Flemyng, Dexter Fletcher, Nick Moran, Jason Statham, Steven Mackintosh!! (relative unkowns, THEN)
the movie also had sting in its cast.

an exceedingly humorous movie (i laff from beginning to end)
the movie is abt 4 friends that start their day with sooo much promise, but ends it IN debt(half a million quid) to a local crime kingpin, 
their quest for this money takes them on a whirlwind ride and in the end fate saves them, or did ithuhconsidering the photo-ending,
its also depicts britain's east-end culture and pub life
a great great great (infinity cool movie,

I like the above, and is sort of where I was heading with Rhino. His beliefs on things "impossible" in the present and future have changed based on a singular experience (or should we now say "prior evidence"?). He will subsequently approach such matters with a different mindset. This is not altogether different from the christian I would submit.

what crazy twin brother.
This one that just showed up  grin

all we want is our free healthcare (we would cut the defense bill by half to pay for it  grin) , same sex loving, scrap dont ask don't tell, save those lovable endangered species and the right to smoke weed.
now is that to much  cheesy
Lol . . . see? the crazy twin brother is here. No such thing as free jor. Wake up dude  cheesy

Nah but seriously . . . I'm all for cutting our national coat in all the various arms of government. I believe there are savings to be had from every area - I think "defense spending" is falsely targeted by the "anti-war" folks as some kind of deadly black hole sucking up the entire budget - when in fact this is not true. I am willing to see a reduction in defense spending (along with other arms of govt) as long as it doesn't come at a cost of national security, at the cost of coming in 2nd in technological advancements. If China is armed with the latest Samsung 60inch 1080p flatscreen, I don't want the US stuck with 36inch belly tv that barely survived the digital switch-over - all in the name of "cutting defense spending". This is America, we must shoot for 1st place in weaponry, sad to say, but we live in a sick world and must stay ahead of the curve.

As for DADT, they can go ahead and scrap it. Gays already marry, get federal benefits etc . . . why don't we get something out of them too by letting them serve in peace? grin

Endagered species? I'll tell you what's endangered - black men & women in high places of success. I don't care for some polar bear somewhere if the 2yr old in the ghetto has not had dinner.

on a serious note, if you conservatives are willing to cut the deficit then you must reduce defense spending like they doing over in the UK.  no more fancy warplanes that cost millions of dollars.
by the way, is this the lunatic you want as a leader?

LOL  grin I know oh Negro, I'm just waxing poetic political idealism. What I meant by "the right spirit and intentions" is this - as a kid you don't always like what your parents tell you to do, when you get a little older you come to understand that everything they do, they do out of love for you. Sometimes you'll disagree with the[b] letter[/b] of their position, but you always know they do what they do with the right spirit and intentions.

Now I know this is a far stretch, but that's what I mean. If leadership and followership can so reach even a remote place of mutual respect and trust, even though we disagree on which direction to take (ex. bail-out or no bail-out), we know and can be at peace in the fact they believe they are working for your own good.

I know the attitudes and behaviors of a good portion of the posters in here, and I know Rhino is not typically a trouble-maker hence just a caution to him. If it were a constant nuisance (they know themselves) I would delete or recommend for ban right away. Part of maintaining law & order is knowing when to bring the hammer down and when to show restraint Toba. We are the christians, and we must hold ourselves to a much higher standard than those around us. Hence I encourage you to look the other way, turn the other cheek sometimes when you're insulted. It will do far greater good than to reply in kind.

It does look interesting. But equally odd.

For a story highlighting typical african youth, why do their backgrounds have to be so stereotypical? aids orphan, child soldier, soccer kid, sex worker etc . . . undecided if it was truly diversity they were going for I think they went the wrong direction. While we do have those problems, the backgrounds of african youth are yet so much more diverse - in a positive sense - than that. It's evidence of trying too hard.

The truth is even with a republican house and a tea party caucus(thanks Bachmann), they are far from in control. D mighty Obama is still in d white house armed with his veto pen ever ready to be used.
True, however I doubt Obama will threaten to use it much. If he loses House and Senate, he will be at the Republican's mercy and not in a position to call the shots.

Its very likely that a lot patience is going to have to shown by certain elements of this wave election cycle.
Haha, omo, patience is something this country does not have at all lol.

I can already see people like Boehner and Pence being put in difficult situations when they realize they still have a very liberal and not yet willing to move to the center Obama in d white house (unlike Clinton in 94) and then they have make compromises that may annoy some of d supporters who put them back in charge.
Its funny and it bewilders me a bit - the left/farleft are constantly accusing Obama of not going far enough - with healthcare, banks, DADT etc . . . whereas the right believes he has gone much too far - suing Arizona, HC, bailout. Are we all simply confused? lol.

I would like Republicans to make some compromises if they get into power. I may not be happy with the letter of the change, but I will be thrilled if its done with the right spirit and intentions. The country must be made to understand that we need both sides to co-operate if we're going to get out of this mess. Obama promised to bring both sides together, he has failed woefully as we have never seen such sharp division as we're seeing under his tenure.

^^ we'll find out for sure very very soon. I think Republicans should look forward to a possible victory with solemnity. It is going to be extremely difficult to steer the country in a positive direction - not just economically, but politically, socially and especially in terms of how the people perceive their government, cos right now, we don't trust them one bit. And I don't think having republicans in power will necessarily shift the trust-level positively.

Common now Liberals, why are you people insulting this poor fella with words like bomboclaat, hillbilly, redneck? lol.

No seriously, I think this is part of the problem. We expect that if a candidate has a D or R following their name they must and always vote a certain way. I am guilty of this too as evidenced by the OP. This rigid expectation of thinking solely within party limits we have I daresay is the main problem why Congress cannot work together and reach common ground. There has to be some give-and-take from both sides. And not crucifixion from the native party on the soul who dares to venture to 'enemy' territory.

Zikkyy:
I do believe the early apostles together spent far less than what the average celebrity church would spend today to spread the gospel. It didn’t cost the Europeans this much to bring Christianity to Africa. Now we are spending far more taking it back to them. With true sincerity of purpose, these churches will achieve far more with less money. [quote author=Enigma link=topic=193649.msg6973124#msg6973124 date=1287507652]They are not even taking the gospel back to the Europeans because their targets are firstly Nigerians and then Africans and other black people in these countries. Even more insidious in any event is that what they are taking back to these people (Nigerians, Africans etc) is not the gospel anyway but the false "gospel" which is no gospel of so-called "prosperity"!
[/quote]I second you guys fully.

  On the flip side, isn't it funny, in the US (and I'm sure in the UK too) "missionaries" are constantly in churches raising funds to send the gospel to Africa. They come armed with video clips of under-nourished black children and awe-inspiring statistics of poverty in 'developing countries'. The West wants to send the gospel to Africa, Africa wants to send the gospel to the West. One has to just stop wonder . . .
