Could it be caused by all the shouting?
(referring to use of caps)
-
No. I have a very quiet life. Just frustrated - went to the doctor this morning and still unsure of the cause - he started me on steroids today and they are affecting me, too.

As soon as the VOLS start winning again your headaches will subside.
Oh, and as far as rants go; I can't stand monkeys. Hate em.

LOL...I could care less about the VOLS football...(but don't tell anyone - that's tantamount to blasphemy around here)

Just read in the paper today that, while the British government is making cuts all around, Vodafone needn't pay a £6 billion tax debt.
WTF!?
If this is indeed true, then why the hell aren't there people being fired for gross misconduct? -
Actually I hate the way cell phone service providers waste my precious minutes by having that slow talking computer voice person mumble on that the "person I have reached is not available, and push 1 to leave a callback number and blah-blah-blah". I would love to know how many minutes are paid for on this wasted diatribe each year.

Okay, got another one. Years ago, our government sold a handful of publicly owned buildings, in an effort to generate revenue. That sale grossed € 1.3 billion. The government then leased said buildings back, which, between 2001 and 2006 alone (!), cost our Treasury € 1.8 billion. Also ... there's ample proof they didn't sell to the highest bidders, as they rushed the whole thing.

... politicians and legislators are owned by a handful of Corporations. It became so apparent last year when those corporations collectively squandered away 700 billion dollars and were promptly bailed out.Socialism for the wealthy, free market for the rest of us.

Okay so you have a high end restaurant with a strict dress code clearly displayed in your window. A group of World war 2 veterans decide to frequent your establishment but they are clearly in violation of the dress code as they are wearing shorts, hats and jeans that the dress code does not allow, do you overlook your rules because they are veterans?
Well this is an issue that has been on the news in Dallas as a restaurant turned them away, and they made it a huge issue by going to the TV stations to make a scene about it, citing that they were discriminated against as veterans in veteran paraphernalia, and the restaurant being owned by a German (Wolfgang Puck) made the story even more tantalising for the media.
WTF!! why does being a veteran make you an untouchable?
It should make you untouchable but it doesn't. My car still gets towed in a no parking zone.

I positively loathe George W. Bush (a.k.a "that evil bastard") and his cronies for lying to the UN, circumventing the Geneva Convention, abducting foreign nationals, detaining people without a trial for years on end, torturing people, and expecting Iraq, after the country had been combed through, and nothing was found, that it should prove it doesn't have any "immediately deployable weapons of mass destruction". Oh, the arrogance. And the cynicism.
Furthermore, I am absolutely repulsed by anyone defending the US' war on terror. "We are protecting ourselves, and our way of life." Seriously? You ain't protecting squat, douchebags, you're attacking, you are the aggressors - there's a difference, and it isn't a subtle one either. Yes, you're entitled to your opinion. But so am I - and I think you deserve a kick in the groin.
Phew! That felt good.

Hmmm.......I think the purpose here is to be able to say what we don't like. We don't have to agree, and we shouldn't dump on each other.

Raw Story
Breaking news, political news, and investigative news reporting from Raw Story's team of journalists and prize-winning investigators.
Raw Story (www.rawstory.com)
It really pisses me off that the reporter is so short sighted as to try and turn it in to an interview about the accusations levelled at one man when the real questions are around the tens of thousands of civilians who have been killed.
-
I think the comment under says it well, Eleanor Roosevelt famously said, "Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people."
-
Still ... it's not ideas we should be worried about. Homo lupus homini est:
Scum.

Bastards!!
Biting the hand that feeds you.
General Motors, Citigroup and JP Morgan Chase have been funding the Republicans that were against the bailots that these companies got from the Democrats to stay in business are now giving money to the Republicans to win the mid term elections.
Our country is so corrupt it's actually funny.
-
That's the nature of large autonomous profit motivated business. Create a product, then the market for it, then squeeze every short term penny out of it. Threaten the country, so that the Fed's get involved in a war, or a bailout, then milk it for all its worth. What's worst, is that many Congressmen sincerely march to the beat of short sighted drummers, going forward while looking into the rear view mirror, as these organizations flourish in the garbage that reality is.
Just look at the way elections are currently run. Democracy is on the edge of the abyss. What's really sad, is that there seems to be no mechanism, or system to straighten out things. We have a Republican Congressional Candidate behind in the polls. The further back he gets, the more mud slinging he, and so called independent organizations spend on mud slinging. I understand that this Congressmen, as a Reserve Officer prior to getting elected, got a exception when his unit was called to active duty. Don't know if that's true, but it's a story that's currently going around. Even if the opposition didn't start that rumor, it the nature of us that may be the part of the problem.
