I GUESS I HANG OUT WITH THE WRONG CROWD, BUT I DON'T THINK I HAVE

OK, LETS SEE WE ARE MAKING MORE MONEY, POSSIBLY BECAUSE WE ARE
SELLING MORE PRODUCT. NOW WE NEED TO MAKE MORE PRODUCT,SO LETS
LAYOFF ALL OUR WORKERS AND THEN WE ACCOMPLISH . . . WHAT? MOST
REALISTIC COMPANIES ARE NOT GOING TO FIRE THEIR WORK FORCE WHEN
THEY ARE MAKING MORE MONEY.

NO I DONT. I THINK GOVERNMENT REGULATION HAS A PLACE IN
SOMETHINGS. I DONT THINK IT'S THE ANSWER TO EVERY PROBLEM WE HAVE.

I KNOW PLENTY OF FOLKS WHO HAVE THIS BELIEF. I AM THE EXCEPTION,
BUT I AM SORRY TO SAY FOLKS STILL BELIEVE THIS. EVEN WHEN FACED
WITH EVIDENCE THAT MANY HETEROSEXUALS AND PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT
SEXUALLY ACTIVE HAVE DIED FORM IT THEY WILL REPLY THAT IT WAS THE
HOMOSEXUALS WHO CAUSED IT. NO ONE GROUP HAS EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS TO
ILLOGICAL THINKING.

I KINDA SEE BOTH SIDES OF THIS ONE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE MORE
GUNS THERE ARE THE MORE OPORTUNITIES TO KILL. I ALSO KNOW THAT IF
GUNS ARE OUTLAWED, CRIMINALS WILL STILL BE ABLE TO GET THEM. THINK
OF PROHIBITION AND HOW SUCCESSFUL THAT WAS.

WELL, SORRY TO SAY, I HAD NEVER REALLY PAID MUCH ATTENSION TO
EITHER ONE OF THEM UNTIL READING THIS POST. I WENT TO BOTH OF
THEIR WEBSITES AND THEY BOTH SEEM TO HAVE ABOUT THE SAME GOAL. SAY
TO THE PEOPLE WHO LIKE THEM EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR AND SAY
TO THE PEOPLE THAT HATE THME EXACTLY WHAT GETS THEM UPSET. I
ADMIT, THOUGH, THAT ANNE IS PRETTIER.

YES, MANY OF THEM ARE. OR THEIR FISHING. MANY REPORTERS HAVE THEIR
OWN PRECONCIEVED NOTIONS OF THINGS AND THEY ARE TRYING TO GET
THEIR OWN POINT ACCROSS AND MAKE IT LOOK LIKE NEUTRAL JOURNALISM.
SOME ARE FOOLED SOME AREN'T.

PROBABLY NOT. SEE ABOVE REPLY.

NOT TRUE. I'M NOT RACIST. I THINK I AM NOT RACIST BECAUSE I
BELIEVE SKIN COLOR SHOULD BE TREATED JUST LIKE HAIR COLOR: A
DESCRIPTIVE OF WHAT A PERSON LOOKS LIKE, BUT NOT A REASON FOR
NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE TREATMENT.

I KNOW CONSERVATIVES AND LIBERALS WHO THINK THIS WAY IN ONE FORM

A LOT OF IGNORANT POLITICIANS HAVE ONE TWO ELECTIONS. WE SHOULD
GET BEHIND BUSH BEASUE HE IS DOING A GOOD JOB. NOT PERFECT, BUT GOOD.

THIS ONE SURPRISED ME. MOST LIBERALS THINK ALL CONSERVATIVES ARE
BIBLE THUMPING CHRISTIANS. AND IF ANY CHRISTIAN BELIEVES THIS, HE
OR SHE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE THEY ARE THUMPING. I AM A
CHRISTIAN AND I KNOW THAT THE ONLY THINGS I HAVE ANY CHANCE TO
TAKE WITH ME INTO ETERNITY ARE LIVING BREATHING PEOPLE. ALL THIS
"STUFF" AINT GOT ANY VALUE!!!

I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO AGREE WITH THIS ONE. I HAD NEVER REALLY

TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT SUBJECTS. AS A CHRISTIAN, I BELIEVE IT IS
IMPORTANT FOR US TO SHARE OUR FAITH AND INTRODUCE OTHERS TO THE
LOVE OF CHRIST. QUITE HONESTLY A SINGLE SELFISH OR RUDE OR CRUEL
OR SELF RIGHTEOUS CHRISTIAN IS MORE DAMAGIN TO THAT THAN A
THOUSAND ATHEIST, BENEVOLENT OR NOT. HOWEVER, THE BENEVOLENT
ATHEIST, NO MATTER HOW NICE, IS STILL GOING TO H***. AND I HATE
THAT AND WANT HIM OR HER TO GO TO HEAVEN. THE SELFISH CHRISTIAN,
IF HE IS TRULY A CHRISTIAN AND NOT JSUT PRETENDING TO BE, ACTUALLY
WILL GO TO HEAVEN. I HOPE BY THEN HE SEES THE DAMAGE HE HAS DONE
AND REPENTS.

I DIDNT KNOW ANYONE WAS VOTING ON LETTING ME DO WHAT EVER I WANT.
I DO THINK THAT IF 2/3 OF THE PEOPLE ARE UNWILLING TO VOTE THEN
THEY SHOULD GET NO SAY IN TEH GOVERNMENT.

I THINK SAYING ANY SINGLE GROUP OF PEOPLE ARE MINDLESS DITTO HEADS
IS A FORM OF PREJUDICE.

HAVENT SEEN FAHRENHEIT 911, I DONT KNOW ANYONE WHO HAS AND I HAVE
NEVER EVEN SEEN MOORE'S BLOG.

ACTUALLY, I BELIEVE IN ENCOURAGING CHRIST AS A MOTIVATION FOR

OFFENSIVE.

I USED TO SMOKE POT. IT DID EFFECT ME. AND I AM AGAINST IT. NO
GOOD COMES FROM IT AND PLENTY OF BAD DOES.

AS I SAID, I HAVE TRIED. IVE DONE MORE THAN TRY IT. IT IS POISON.
IT IS NOT EVIL.SATAN IS EVIL AND POT IS A GREAT WAY FOR HIM TO
KEEP THE HUMAN RACE TOO STONED TO DO ANYTHING.

AGAINST BOTH.

I THINK GLOBAL WARMING IS OVER-PUBLICISED. I DONT KNOW IF ITS TRUE
OR NOT. I LOOKED ON WEB PAGE ONCE THAT SAID THAT THE EARTH HAS
INCREASED IN TEMPERATURE 0.4 - 0.8 DEGREES CELSIUS OVER THE LAST
HUNDRED YEARS. HOWEVER, WE DON'T KNOW IF THAT THE UPSWING OF A
CYXLE OR AN ABSOLUTE TREND. THE SAME WEBS ITE DID SAY THAT THE
CHANGE WAS NOT WORLD WIDE AND THE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES HAS
ACTUALLY COOLED A LITTLE. I GUESS THAT EXPLAINS THE DEBATE. THE
CALIFORNIA LIBERALS ARE WARMING AND THE CONSERVATIVES IN
MISSISSIPPI ARE GETTING COLDER.

YES I HAVE. PROGRESS IS A TWO EDGE SWORD. NOT ALL PROGRESS IS
PREOGRESSIVE (DON'T KNOW WHO SAID THAT, BUT ITS A GOOD QUOTE)

ABSOLUTELY NOT. I TRAVEL IN SEVERAL THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES TO DO
MISSION WORK. AND I FIND OTHER CULTURES REFRESHING AND EXCITING.
ONE OF OUR WRITTEN GOALS IN OUR MISSION ORGANIZATION IS TO NOT TRY
TO AMERICANIZE EVERYONE. THEY DONT NEED!

THIS SOUNDS LIKE PREJUDICE PROPAGANDA TO ME.

ACTUALLY, I HAVE READ PARTS OF THE KORAN. SOME OF IT IS A VIOLENT
BOOK. I'VE REAAD ALL THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS AND THOSE TOO CAN
BE VIOLENT. JUSTIFIED AND RATIONAL ARE NOT WORDS ANYONE WOLDEVER
USE TO DESCRIBE THEIR RELIGION, NO MATTER WHAT RELIGION THEY ARE.
MORE STERIOTYPING I GUESS.

>

DIDNT KNOW THE CHOICE WAS BETWEEN KILLINGTHE BABY AND KILLING THE
BABY. I THOUGHT THE MOMMY WAS GOING TO LIVE EITHER WAY. I AM
AGAINST AN ABORTION WHEN ALL THE WOMAN OR COUPLE WANT TO DO IS
KILL A BABY SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THEIR LIFE INTERUPTED BY AN
INCONVENIENT KID. THIS IS TO ME THE MOST PERVERSE KIND OF
SELFISHNESS. I AGREE THE WOMAN DESERVES A CHANCE TO MAKE A CHOICE.
BUT THAT CHOICE IS MADE WHEN SHE DECIDES TO HAVE SEX. THE BABY IS
A RESULT OF THAT DECISION. TO KILL THAT BABY SO YOU DONT HAVE TO
FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS IS WRONG.

I THINK THAT GOD IS REAL AND THAT ALL THOSE THAT DONT WORSHIP HIM
ARE GOING TO HELL. AND THAT IS ONE IMPORTANT REASON FOR US TO
WORSHIP HIM. I THINK THAT GOD IS LOVE AND HE WANTS EVERYONE OF US
(EVEN YOU) TO COME TO HIM. AND THAT IS A GOOD REASON TO WORSHIP
HIM. I THINK IF ANYONE IS WORSHIPPING GOD BECAUSE OUR FOUNDING
FATHERS SUPPOSEDLY WORSHIPPED HIM THAT PERSON IS LOST.

I UNDERSTAND THEIR REASONING COMPLETELY AND I DONT GET UPSET ABOUT
NON-CHRISTIANS AND THEIR SECULAR CHRISTMAS SONGS. BUT I HAVE
ADIFFERENT VIEW THAN MANY CHRISTIANS. I USED TO BE ATHEIST.

CAPITALISM DOES WORK WELL TO A DEGREE. I BELIEVE THERE IS NO
PERFECT FORM OF HUMAN GOVERNMENT.


>

COMMUNISM HAS NEVER BEEN COMPLETELY TRIED BECAUSE EVEN THE PEOPLE
WHO WANT IT TO SUCCEEED CAN NOT FIGURE OUT A WAY FOR IT TO BE
SUCCESSFUL. IT HAS FAILURE WRITTEN ALL OVER IT.


NOTE: MANY OF THESE COMMENTS WERE VERY WEAK AND STERIOTYPICAL. I
KNOW OF NO COSERVATIVE WHO WOULD FIT THE MOLD THIS WRITER TRIES TO
PAINT OF CONSERVATIVES.
