It's a tough call but one thing is a very easy call; I will never own either. There is no way I'd trust myself with that much speed and only two wheels.
I started this rivalry because this is something I encounter on a daily basis and it makes me sick to my stomach. If I got a dollar for every time I saw someone NOT use their turn signal, I would be a Very rich women. People dont realize that just the simple flip of your turn signal could save your life. You Should be pulled over and without a doubt get a ticket. And yes, I Always use my turn signal No matter what!!
I'm not sure i would really call her a victim, but i have watched the show from the beginning and would never call her a Monster. I think she and john are victims of their own lives. I do believe that she is very, very misunderstood.
Hands down Ron Paul won this exchange which is to be expected seeing how he probably knows more about the Federal Reserve than Ben Bernanke; the chairman of the FED.
All right I have had enough of your ill-conceived and quite frankly ill informed ideas of what liberals actually stand for in this country. I even posted how to look up the actual definition of liberalism for which I can only assume from your previous comments you simply ignored the opportunity. As a true liberal I stand for many things. I stand for the beliefs set down by our own American constitution. I stand for freedom, freedom of an overreaching government, free speech, freedom from religion, and yes even the right to keep and bear arms. If any of you had taken the time to read the article on the Wikipedia page I had suggested you read, you would know this. Instead you have made up your own ideas of what a liberal stands for. Let me be the first to tell you, you are WRONG!! And Mama Kaz, you are guilty as well. You lump people like Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank into the party of my ideology and it is simply irresponsible of you to do so. Pelosi and Frank both believe that government somehow has the answers to everything. That is NOT, I repeat NOT what a liberal believes. We believe in limited government. Let’s take two examples of current government overreach in the last decade. The Health Care Reform Act and the Patriot Act. I am using these two laws simply because they were both enacted by Presidents who were either Republican or Democrat.
Do I like the fact that either one was enacted? NO, I do not. Both bills, now laws, represent everything for which I do not stand for. Both are the truest forms of government overreach that I simply do not believe in. Now I know that you may have assumed I wanted or thought the Health Care Reform bill was a good thing due to our previous discussions on Jealousbrother.com, but you are sorely mistaken. Although I believe in health care for all Americans, and though I believe in the principles of some of the new law’s platforms, I do not believe in forcing any American to purchase something for which they do not want to buy. By that same accord I believe in keeping Americans safe from the threat of terrorism, but does that mean I believe it is okay to detain American citizens without due process of law, or allowing law enforcement to search my home without so much as a search warrant? NO, I do not. I do not like either, though I do understand the ideals behind them, both are far too overreaching in my opinion and should never have been passed into law. Yes, I just said that I do not believe the Health Care Reform Bill should never have been passed, but not for the reason you believe. Not because I believe it is too expensive, or that it won’t do anyone any good, but because it is in my opinion unconstitutional. You cannot by law force me to purchase a good for which I have no desire to purchase. Our system is broken. Obama simply was doing what he thought was right for the American people, and though it might do some good, the fact of the matter is that this piece of legislation will end up doing more harm than good. “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” I know that he means well, just as Bush meant well with the Patriot Act, but both are wrong. They are both responsible now for violating laws and rights set down by our forefathers. Both laws are unconstitutional and I would like to see both repealed. Both Obama and Bush have managed to strip away at our rights and allowing this to continue only paves the way for future rights to be removed.
Now, Mama Kaz I will take issue with your hypocritical statements. You claim that liberals have an air of superiority and look down upon those with whom they disagree. You are wrong. I do not look down upon those with whom I disagree. As a liberal I believe in the Constitution and everything it represents. Which means I also believe in freedom of speech. Because I do believe in freedom of speech I believe everyone has the right to voice their opinions, but where I draw the line are those who base their opinions on unfounded truths, lies, stereotypes, and innuendos. Name calling, “my way or the highway” attitudes, and arrogance have been displayed by both sides. So please don’t insinuate that either party is exempt from these types of behaviors or exemplify how a party should behave, because they are both equally guilty in this matter. If you mistake my abhorrence for ill informed individuals as arrogance or “an air of superiority”, then that is your fault for assuming. Incorrectly I might add. I do not mind when others disagree with me, but at the very least, be well informed and know that what you speak is based on fact or truth if you intend to do so.
The truth is I love to debate. Which by its design means I love to debate either side of the issue and frequently choose both sides simply to see how the other side feels. I believe this allows me to “understand” how my opponents really feel, and gives me insight that otherwise I would not be privy to. So just because I may choose a certain side does not particularly mean that is my “true” stance. It simply means that I am choosing to debate from that corner. If you really want to know how I feel about a certain matter all you need do is remember that I am a true liberal or simply just ask me. If you intend to debate me then I suggest you read up on your material, because chances are I already have.
Now to cutie122403. Really? You honestly believe that liberalism is a mental disorder? I can honestly say that truly disappoints me. I can understand that you may not agree with certain point-of-views with a liberal, but to say that they suffer from mental issues simply because you disagree with their ideologies? I expected something like this from someone named Tninfidel, but really? You? Even Mama Kaz acknowledged that even though she doesn’t agree with certain liberalist views that it is not a mental disorder. I just expected better from you I suppose.
In closing once again I would like to suggest to those of you who clearly have not taken the time to read the Wikipedia definition of liberalism, or any other definitive material to do so. Perhaps you will gain a little more understanding of the true ideologies of a liberal rather than assuming you already know. To my knowledge reading has never hurt anyone. So please, just take the chance. You might be surprised.
Corey tells me i do the same thing so I completely understand. If you feel secure in switching than you should just do it. despite the long drive, i know you will be happy with the outcome. So go with your gut sis! =)
Click on either picture or follow this link to view the exchange between the Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Congressman Ron Paul; the Congressman who is leading the full frontal attack on the FED through his Audit the Fed Bill that's gained much traction.
Well actually I do want to switch but I am the kind of person that has to over analyze everything. I am still early enough to where I can switch and have enough time to establish a relationship with a doctor. I have a really good feeling about going to Baptist and being able to deliver there and I can't say that for Blount. I have mixed feelings. I should quit over thinking it and go with my gut feeling.
I did switch doctors after finding out i was pregnant and I was a lot further along than you are. It was the best decision i ever made. It has to be your decision and my reasons were due to possible health risks and complications. If you are so unsure of switching I would say stay put. You dont need to second guess yourself. =)
Ok so I started this rivalry because I found out that I was pregnant and I have been somewhat disappointed with my doctor's office. I have to now start thinking about where I want to have the baby and whether or not I want to stay where I am. I love my doctor and its not so much her but her nurse and the staff. They are not as informative as I thought they would be. My expectations are extremely high right now and I feel as though they are not meeting those high expectations. I don't think its much to ask seeing how I am paying them and have insurance. The good thing is I have the choice of staying or leaving but I don't know what decision to make. I have been going to this doctor for several years now and have established a relationship with her. I have a friend that is further along than I am that goes there and sees the same doctor and she said they aren't very informative. So I guess my question is do you stick with a doctor that you have a relationship with or do you try and switch doctors while the pregnancy is still early on?
When my husband talks about computers and what he is currently learning it sounds like complete jibberish. I know way beyond the basics when it comes to computers but I have no desire to learn more. I took 2 years of Spanish in High School and although it was really hard the stuff he talks about sounds even harder.
Do I like the fact that either one was enacted? NO, I do not. Both bills, now laws, represent everything for which I do not stand for.
