Especially because the guy is a Democrat! The filth of the planet! The party should be forced to disband and swear allegiance to the Rebublican machine.” 4:51:12 PM 1/18/07 “Hey, W.K. Yeah, what was I thinking? Seriously, though, I think there might be a greater chance that voters listen to all sides of the debate before they put a check mark beside any candidate. I'm sensing just a little "partisan fatigue". But, then again, I've been wrong before.” 4:58:35 PM 1/18/07 “They should be made to lick dirty toilets as well.” 5:00:44 PM 1/18/07 “They're already in them, so they may as well. last edited: 1/18/07 5:06:15 PM” 5:06:04 PM 1/18/07 “I think so too Dunadan... both of the major parties in this country suck!!!!” 5:26:34 PM 1/18/07 “Come to the Green Side....” 5:52:57 PM 1/18/07 “democrats = worthless republicans = failure current american political party system = shameful disappointment last edited: 1/18/07 5:59:49 PM” 5:55:44 PM 1/18/07 “I'm wondering how Obama's smoking cigs will play into the mud slinging that will occur.” 8:11:43 PM 1/18/07 “ ”8:28:17 PM 1/18/07 “"They should be made to lick dirty toilets as well." Aw, good gravy, man!” 8:31:29 PM 1/18/07 “So THAT'S why polar bear populations are falling... People are using them for cigarette filters!” 10:12:58 PM 1/18/07 “ENS has it right....oh tell Capt Bobo I was running your vid yesterday....the Exec Dir...secretary (nice young hottie by the way) saw it....she thinks Bobo is a GOD!

The "Colbet Report" is on the screen, for example. But, I certainly don't mind you asking matt to change it. I cringe at the public evidence of my slopy spelling. last edited: 1/19/07 9:26:29 AM” 9:25:33 AM 1/19/07 “We probably went into Iraq instead of Iran , because of a spelling error.” 9:59:32 AM 1/19/07 1:48:07 PM 1/19/07 “LOL...in a repeat of the Great Willie Horton fame....it appears one Democrat is hunting another. Hillary's People (LOL so if it goes south she has no responsibility) have discoverd that Barak spent some time in Indonesia in a Muslim School.......BOOM! Of course this means he had outlived his usefulness to the party (LOL)> At least he didn't end up in Ft Marcy Park.” 2:30:57 PM 1/19/07 This is funny. 12:17:30 AM 1/21/07 “Since it has been revealed that Obama's ancestors were slave masters shouldn't the left be using this against him? How can a person with a history of supporting slavery, be a viable candidate for either party?” 7:05:28 AM 3/05/07 “He doesn't have Cherokee blood in him too, I suppose?” 7:08:27 AM 3/05/07 “"How can a person with a history of supporting slavery, be a viable candidate for either party?" Since when does the guy have a history of support for slavery?” 7:09:43 AM 3/05/07 “Marko, maybe its them fuzzy handcuffs in his dresser drawer.............” 7:10:53 AM 3/05/07 “WELLLL, come on Marky mark, If the thinking ones among us choose to question the outlandish claims of Manmade Global Warming we are quickly charged with wanting Dirty air and Dirty Water..... I think it is silly by the way. I mean Slavery is a moot point in our society heck there is no real evidence of active slavery in the...OOPS sorry apparently the black MUSLIMs in Africa are still running an active and thriving business in "Human" Resources....but then I should have known that with all the Black American leaders screaming about it......” 7:13:26 AM 3/05/07 “Yeah.....XLaxy Lax! Speaking of LAX, how's the Duke lacrosse boys doin'? You're all over that story like schit on the sidewalk. Without your timely reports on the matter, I would know or care little about that HUGE story. Africa, huh? Firestone has operated a 1,000,000 acre rubber plantation in Liberia since 1926. They "employ" somewhat over 10,000 slaves. They have to work their children to make quota or their pay will be cut drastically. At full pay they barely survive. Their had to be money behind all that civil war in Liberia in recent years.” 7:58:16 AM 3/05/07 “WELL GEE MARKY MARK ( you dapper dresser you) (LOL)....the Duke thing has been pretty quiet since the State Bar decided to review the Prosecutor's law license...(MEANING He violated the law)...LOL.... AS for Liberia...isn't that a Government thing too?” 8:03:32 AM 3/05/07 “"AS for Liberia...isn't that a Government thing too?" Whose government? Operations like Firestone get the best government that money can buy in a colonial state like Liberia. GEE, it seems that the U.S. had another sticky rubber situation for some time on the other side of the earth. last edited: 3/05/07 8:15:49 AM” 8:11:11 AM 3/05/07 “WOW....LOL digging deep here...well lets check the Firestone site...WAIT they pay for schooling (including College) now lets check the Muslim slave traders...no education (unless you count gang rapes of children as "sex education") yeah I will put the EEEEVIL corporation up against your Muslim buddies every day of the week.” 8:32:56 AM 3/05/07 “How do the kids have time for school when they have to work to survive? New Colonialism. Oh no, the Muslims are your buddies!!” 8:46:16 AM 3/05/07 “Mark can you give me a reasonable website address for where this is reported...and given that Liberia was a veritible Killing field during....lets see what administration? OH YEAH it was in the 1990's. (LOL)” 9:12:38 AM 3/05/07 “Burn him at the stake! How dare he own slaves, or at least his father's father's father's mom, or something like that.” 9:23:23 AM 3/05/07 “I wonder if Obama will have to pay reparations to himself? LOL” 9:28:17 AM 3/05/07 “WHAHAHAHAHAHA..... This kinda reminds me of watching any of the contestants in the Policial Beauty Constest we call the Presidential Election http://www.break.com/index/wooden_spoon_prank.html” 9:38:01 AM 3/05/07 “".....and given that Liberia was a veritible Killing field during....lets see what administration?" Charles Taylor somehow managed to escape U.S. federal prison in '83 or '84 and showed up in Liberia with a well-funded rebel army. Gee, I wonder who funded that? Maybe the same who helped Saddam Hussein in the '80s when he killed thousands with chemical weapons. http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/1208-07.htm http://www.bothends.org/strategic/Samfu-Firestone.pdf http://www.fpif.org/fpiftxt/3766 Tappers and their children are held in virtual bondage, isolated from the world on a million—acre plantation and dependent on Firestone for everything from wages to lodging to food and medicine, all of which are desperately inadequate. To note a particularly egregious example, Bridgestone/Firestone housing has not been renovated since its construction in 1926. Most of the houses do not include running water or indoor toilets. http://www.newsfromafrica.org/newsfromafrica/articles/art_10283.html Most of the children of the labourers at the plantation are not attending school because of its absence at most of the company's camps, and the request of most parents to allow their children assist them to complete their daily tasks. Children, who are successful enough to have a primary school in their camps, are learning under poor conditions as the schools are substandard with poor facilities.” 9:48:01 AM 3/05/07 “It's well documented that the African continent is still home to many forms of human bondage. From outright slavery to the old "company store" style of economic slavery.” 9:58:04 AM 3/05/07 “It is true that Europeans did not invent slavery or even start the slave trade in Africa. They were just the ones that made an industry of it and created efficient free markets in slaves, thus broadening slavery as an institution in ways hitherto unknown. The info Marko refers to is part of an old European colonial tradition in Africa. For some chilling reading about a true Heart of Darkness, read "King Leopold's Ghost."” 11:42:10 AM 3/05/07 “YOu know I have yet to see anyone mention the virtual, heck the REAL EXISTING slavery of Government Socialisim. Look at the WAH on Poverty. Going on since 1965 or so. No where have we seen more of the very stuff the slave reparations crowd identifies as horrible than in the FREE MONEY Government programs. Families are broken apart, people lose identity, there is the breakdown of the family and lives are cheapend and thrown away for nothing.” 1:31:29 PM 3/05/07 “I don't know that it could be called slavery XL. In my mind a major component of slavery is using a human being as a beast of burden. In the war on poverty no one is required to actually do any work. Seems more like warehousing humans to me.” 3:10:20 PM 3/05/07 “"Families are broken apart, people lose identity, there is the breakdown of the family and lives are cheapend and thrown away for nothing." You mean like your own, XL?” 3:12:46 PM 3/05/07 “Marky mark my family is intact....the Husband goes to work....(LOL)..... Um did anyone check out the "support" groups of these reports? (LOL) Jeeze reads like the WHOS WHO OF SOCIALISIM. HPM, slavery is as much psychological, as physical. All I have to say is look at the reports of the "family disentegration" since the Wah on Pahvaty. $8 TRILLION gone...not a THING to show for it. OH WOW..from Wikipedia (not perfect but a neat reference) [edit] Alien Tort Claims Act In 2005, "tappers" (workers who extract latex from rubber trees) on the Liberian plantation filed an Alien Tort Claims Act lawsuit against Bridgestone/Firestone. The Lawsuit relates to the following topics: Serious labor abuses, including exploitative child labor. Management of the plantation claim that workers are bringing their own children to work to assist them and that this is not endorsed by the plantation management. Workers claim that management's high daily quotas force them to employ their own children as their only means of meeting quotas. Even though Liberia does have child labor laws and Firestone has banned children from tapping trees, workers say the ban isn't enforced. The workers say the only way they can complete their daily quota is to bring their children along. Firestone management says if children are found helping their parents, the employees are cancelled, and if necessary, disciplined. We have very strict policies about our child labor. We do not hire anybody under 18 years of age, and we discourage parents from bringing their children to the fields with them .[13] Firestone requested to transfer the case to Indianapolis, Indiana from California and this request was granted in April 2006. So they are able to SUE the employer....hmmmm...lets see Marky Mark....how many active SLAVES can sue their BOSSES? last edited: 3/05/07 3:21:53 PM” 3:17:50 PM 3/05/07 “Yes, but you can get off the dole any time you choose. I also think the changing face of the American family has a lot to do with huge host of other factors than just public assistance programs and the war on poverty alone. I believe that poverty in America is a choice. You can improve yourself and your situation any damn time you choose, BUT like everything else worth doing it's not a fast or easy process. The real tragedy is that many poor folks don't realize that they can make the choice. last edited: 3/05/07 3:30:17 PM” 3:25:35 PM 3/05/07 “So when Daddy runs off with another woman, leaving behind a woman with no job skills and three young children to support... Has she has chosen to be poor? Did the babies?” 3:49:50 PM 3/05/07 “Perhaps I should say "staying poor". Obviously not V. As we all know life is not kind nor fair and yes really crappy things happen to people by no fault of their own. Public assistance is there to help people who fall into bad situations but ultimately it is up to them to make their way out. That in particular is the choice I am talking about.” 3:55:16 PM 3/05/07 “I didn't think you were stupid, insensitive or deranged. last edited: 3/05/07 4:02:38 PM” 3:57:56 PM 3/05/07 “Well, I guess that depends on who you talk to. lol But yes, I will freely admit that I have bouts of insensitivity to some topics. Frankly I think that it comes from watching my mom and dad steadily improve our lives through hard work, education and persistence. I really don't have much sympathy for the "woe is me, I'm poor and will always be poor" act.” 4:07:28 PM 3/05/07 “As always, HPM is the voice of reason.” 4:28:02 PM 3/05/07 Jump to Page << prev
