No lol i know who you responded to, but what I meant is i got lost in the health care vs. illegal imm. bill...are you trying to say your against the republican party or for the republican party in reference to that bill?

 

You really need to develop your own mind and form your own opinions instead of forming opinion directly from whatever the media says.

 

One state (i forget which) is trying to pass a law that makes spanking your child illegal.

 

Look with all do respect do not impune upon my views. If you wish to voice your own opinion fine thats part of a discussion but dont come on here and start talking **** concerning me forming my own opinions! focus on your own beliefs and less on how others come to theirs!!!

 

Kind of like the rio grande?

 

He was asking for my definition of what the "yuppies" were who are taking over the farm land. I gave it. I said nothing about how humble they were or their personalities.

 

Why are you and Wheelie hell bent on thinking I'm some Commi or ****? 30 years ago we didn't need hardly any regulation. It was great, people just sort of co-existed and got along. But as time passed, and technology developed and times have changed it evolved so quickly that we've lost grasp on things. How is it that in a matter of 5 years we went from something like 1 million illegal immigrants to 20 million? (Check this site out: http://immigrationcounters.com/)

Right now, this country is out of control. Balance needs to be restored, and unfortunately HEAVY regulations need to be implement on CERTAIN things. Not everything, but one of the key players right now that has almost ZERO regulation is the internet. You can find ANYTHING on the internet. And EVERYONE here can admit that every generation is maturing at a younger age. Hell, when I was 16, and that was only 9 years ago, I didn't know about HALF of the **** that 16 year olds know about now. This kid up the street from me got into trouble b/c he tried smoking weed... HE'S 10 YEARS OLD!!!!!! He said he learned about weed on the internet and decided to try smoking it b/c he read about how bad cocaine and other drugs like that were.... ON THE INTERNET!!!!

All I'm saying is the U.S. is not picking their battles. Fighting a war in Iraq is ******* retarded right now, bring the troops home. Fight the wars on gangs and drugs. Focus our efforts internally, not externally. It's getting out of hand and it needs to be stopped.

 

Yuppies by characteristics are stuck up and the farthest from humble with usually little or no personality aside from an overwelming feeling of being better then everyone else!

 

I'm not impuneing upon your views. I'm simply suggesting that you take what you hear on the news at face value. By design it can never be from more than one point of view.

 

Once again i couldnt agree more. THere was a doctor on the news the other day saying the number one reason for maturing kids at younger ages as well as entering puberty at younger ages is directly related to overstimulization from sources such as internet, tv, movies, etc..

 

I think 80% of the problem isn't even there. You just hear about it more because you are constantly bombarded with information. 60 years ago you wouldn't hear about news from the other side of the country that often and a lot of crimes were kept quiet.

 

You think I want some flatfoot breathing down my neck all of the time? NO!!!! You think I want J. Hoovers boys looking into everything I do? NO!!!! But as I said before, the simple fact remains people are getting out of hand. Personally I don't care b/c I'm not trying to search about firearms, or how to make pipe bombs, or trying to buy up 20 clips to load .38 bullets into which tuck nicely into my tactical jacket. I'll tell you one thing, you hear and read about how "he was a very nice man, he always waved and mowed his lawn every saturday with an iced tea in his hand." Yea, he's the guy that lives 3 doors down from you and has so much child pornography on his computer that it makes you want to puke, and is now on his way to jail for raping and sodomizing half a dozen pre-teen girls.

ALLLLL **** that if the internet was regulated how in the **** would there be child **** on there? Regulation now for freedom later.

 

I am a very conservative person. However, I derive my views from a multitude of news channels and papers focussing on both left and right inputs. Furthermore, I work next to a couple people who are very versed in politics and economics as well as international business. Talking with them along with my own personal expiriences and the expiriences my sister and her husband (who are in Iraq now) convey to me are what works to support my views. I am not some stupid 20 yr old who watchs channel 9 and then goes to town on imposing my opinion. I dont know much about politics, but what I do know is compiled from my own personal research. Nothing is taken at face value, all news is skewed for the simple reason that TRUE REAL news does not sell as much as biased news will.

 

They also generaLLY LIVE IN THE CITY. (DAMN caps lock) I was talking about the ones who own the $1m houses in the rural developments. Take a ride out on the edge of suburbia this summer and you will see what I am tyalking about. **** pisses me off.

 

Before the internet pedophiles had to cruise the playgrounds and took polaroids. It still happened back in the day. Probably just as much as it does now.

 

Good deal.

 

thats one thing i miss about living in the country or a rural area. Everyone is Real....I'm sure you understand what im talking about. Come to chicago you will have 1000000000 friends but 0 FRIENDS you see? its the same ****!

 

This is actually a very good point of which we just discussed in my last english class. Many people refer to the 50's as the golden era. However, it has been suggested that it was in actually a era of opression, family problems, disparity, and disregard for personal feelings of women. Everything was kept very hush hush, but this didnt mean that things didnt happen.

Still, the problem with the internet is what used to involve risk of being caught, such as searching playgrounds now can be done from the safety of your own home. There was a case recently involving a death caused by internet harassment. However, nothing was done to prosecute the parties responsible for the harassment b/c there are currently no laws governing internet harassment. The internet is a very wide vague area which people choose to use for crime. I am not saying communism is the answer OBVIOUSLY! however, what I do suggest is tighter regulation and rules concerninng problems associated with the internet. I mean lets face it I was looking at **** sites before I was 18 EVEN THOUGH it was supposedly against the law. They need to find a solution to these problems, what that solution is i dont know, however we need to work towards regulating things UNTIL we cant regain a majority control on society and return to equalibrium.

 

You know those suburban neighborhoods where they buy up a few houses then trear them down, put in winding cul-de-sacs and then build a buch of big *** houses right on top of each other? They are doing the same thing to farm land on the outskirts of towns where the suburbs fade to country. Only the houses are a little bigger and on larger pieces of land. They are making towns run into each other so there is no senic farmland anymore, just city/suburb/spaced out suburbs/suburb/city. Pisses me off.
