No I would not. Socialism is one of those theories that looks good on paper, but is impossible to carry out. Somebody always gets greedy and wants a bigger piece of the pie, so socialism cannot work. I DO on the other hand, think that those who are suffering ought to be given aid, and if that requires a small-scale redistribution of wealth, so be it. Maybe those making more than $250,000 a year SHOULDN'T have to pay taxes at a higher percentage, but does it actually hurt them all that much? To me, it's as simple as this. Some people have enough money. Some people don't. The people that don't have enough money need extra help and in an American community where we should all help our fellow man, isn't that enough?

Yes a Free Society, a society where anybody can think, feel, and speak how they want to. And that includes socialists.

Can I ask why you and the other conservatives here constantly use the word "socialist" as if it's meant to be some sort of insult? It's an economic philosophy shared by many many people throughout the world, but you use it as some sort of swear word. I don't consider myself a socialist, but so what if I did? If somebody is a socialist, they can still love America and its values, they just have a different opinion on how we should go about our economy.

Hahaha wtf?

Does everybody remember that Flinstones movie they made back in the 90's? Here's my question. Why the hell did they cast Rosie O'Donnell as Betty Rubble? She was always the cute one on the show! I mean, I know it was a crappy movie but the Flinstones is a pretty major deal in American pop culture and I believe it was a relatively high budget, high grossing movie at the time. Just a thought.

I remember Rome ripping on ManRam plenty this year, especially when all that sketchy fake injury stuff was going down in his last couple weeks with the Sox.

Oh please, everybody knows that the only reason Estonia is undefeated (and even ranked) is because they play in the weak Baltic Conference! Who have they beaten? Lithuania and Latvia? Weak sauce, America will crush them on Saturday!

Baseball, America's game and the greatest sport ever invented. IMO

My point was that having respect for a person and admitting he's a war hero doesn't mean you have to respect him as a politician or want him as your president. If I'm marching into battle, who would I rather have as my leader? McCain. Leading America into the future? Obama.

hahahah good stuff dude, i had never heard of this guy

ROFL they don't even spell his name right! thanks for the laugh erynthered, i think we all enjoyed this

You know what Barack Obama believes??? Are you inside his head?!?! Awesome! Show me some evidence that isn't from a reactionary conservative source that Obama is part of this Black Liberation Theology

!@#$ing fear mongers, 7 years later and the republican camp is still using 9/11 as a tactic. They should be ashamed.

Good for him, I just gained a boatload of respect for the man. I'm still voting Obama.

I did not get B word slapped in that comment. In fact, I am incredibly against abortion and I believe the practice is disgusting. Just because you conservatives forcibly align yourselves with every typical conservative belief doesn't mean I have to vote liberal down the line. Abortion (particularly the kind known as partial birth abortion) is stopping a human heart, it takes all rights away from the father, promotes promiscuity, and offers a cop out to a girl who made a mistake. Humans are said to be the only animal that cold bloodedly murders its own kind, and we are CERTAINLY the only species that murders our own kind in the womb. So that's what you get for saying I'm all about a woman's right to choose. And I have a good friend who just returned from 8 months in Bangladesh where she lived in a Muslim village with a Muslim family. I asked her about a month ago and she said that if all the men decided it was ok for the women to take off their burkas, they would still wear them regardless. It IS their way of life. You are the one, Joe, who equates wearing a burka to being a virtual slave, and that is a pretty big leap.

or were you being sarcastic? my meter might be broken...

So now you get to determine what "Real" America is? People from largely Democratic areas aren't "Real" Americans in your opinion? That's ok. I believe that our next President thinks of us all as "Real" Americans.

Wait, why would he do that?

The good thing is, OJ IS guilty in the eyes of the law of 12 counts of armed robbery, felonious assault, etc. And at the age of 61, his sentence should put him behind bars til he croaks.

umm, yes we should legalize gay marriage, do you have a problem with Billie Jean King and women like her? And yes, we should legalize marijuana...not to save athletes from scrutiny though. IMO if alcohol is legal, why shouldn't mary jane be legal? After all, alcohol tends to make people do stupid stuff. Pot just makes you lazy. You don't hear about too many high drivers, or people getting into fights because they were both high. Legalize it!

Um, no it hasn't. And this isn't just about since 2000. This problem has existed since the 1950's. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, an elite team of meteorologists and climatologists assembled from around the world predicts that the globe's average temperature will have risen 11.6 degrees fahrenheit during the course of the 21st century. That's enough to permanently change life as we know it.

Yes. They are there for a reason, and this is a perfect example of one of those reasons. Think about it this way. What if something goes wrong and you or your friend are needlessly killed when the authorities could have been contacted and the situation resolved? I say leave the gunslinging for Favre.

Frankly, a man who had a stroke and who could probably die with one solid knock to the skull AND who has a couple of little kids is a numbskull. Props for being tough enough to keep playing, but it is downright dumb.

Also, with the increased temperature of the Caribbean Sea, our southern coastal states are going to be seeing worse and more destructive hurricanes as time goes on. Hurricanes just feed off of warm water. Katrina might look pretty mild some day in the not so distant future.
