This should be sent daily to everybody in DC since she is far from the only one who forgot what it means. (Of course sent to them with their name though)
I will never in any way see 9/11 as any more than 10% his or his administration's fault. Bush and plenty of his people were very clearly warned over the course of 8 months that something was going on, and he & his ignored it. With Clinton it was something far off. With Bush it was building up and a "Hey we really need to pay attention to this", but none was paid.
I think I remember of a time when the US was great. It was back when I was in middle school and Bill Clinton was president. People seemed to like us then.
Either that or it was because I was young and not yet disillusioned with the system. Take your pick.
How about the US stop trying to make laws to control the rest of the world. I don't know hardly any Americans at all that like how our government makes us all look like controlling imperialistic bastards.
How about we try to get our own laws in order first. When most of the population doesn't agree with the laws they are trying to pass to control us or anyone else in the world, how about the government consult the people and actually listen. Then we can arrive at much more reasonable laws. It would be a lot better than their current procedure of ask the public for opinions, then ignore everything they hear so they can pass some bill written by a lobbyist instead.
Or, and for the record, even when our laws do become much more reasonable instead of the copyright insanity that exists today, we STILL don't want our government trying to force our views down other country's throats.
If I had more time to check the site here, I would have typed out a rather long response about the differences in what I am talking about and how you view it. As I am late in replying I will just say to check the first response to you by John Fenderson there. His explanations are exactly what I would like to reply. However, it has already been said so I will save the space of retyping it. If you have any further thoughts on the matter then by all means please respond.
I am going to guess that you A) are probably not an American , B) whether you are or are not, you do not understand our 1st amendment and how strongly most of us feel about it, and C) the point of my post went whooooshhh
What some people find offensive others won't. Other commenters already addressed this so I won't go over it again, but no speech should be outlawed directly as it is a much too slippery slope to go down.
anyone seeking to protect theft of their intellectual property,
Well, at least you are beginning to acknowledge that not everybody is against copyright infringement. Plenty of artists encourage it. However, even in that regard calling it theft is still wrong. Well, and you are also wrong that Mike attacks those people. He usually supports them because the artists who support such things are seen as the good guys in society. Much unlike the MPAA and their ilk.
Your comments saying that people need to be punished just for speaking like an idiot offend me. Per your own rules, you should submit yourself for processing so that you can be fined and serve community service.
Please note, the purpose of this is simply to show that punishing people simply because they say something that may or may not offend people (even if it is guaranteed to offend people) is not acceptable. The only case where it can be is when it is a direct threat against somebody to cause bodily harm or death.
I thought the FBI and other gov agencies liked to just make up and fabricate their own plots to foil when they need to look good. So why do they need data to store?
State police say Wallace was streaming adult pornographic movies while operating his truck."
That is quite an opinion they formed from the autopsy. I hope that when I die and an autopsy is performed, they at least refer to my crotch as a good sized SUV.

Why keep data?
My best guess is that this is just so if you ever do something they don't like, they will have a lot more data to try to hang you with as some excuse. Our goverment does seem to be rather vindictive against people they don't like for any given reason.
