    You might not like what I say - but I believe it.
    Build it, make money, then build some more
    Some old school smarts would help - and here's to Rob Toth for his help. Bloody good stuff, even the freebies!

      And did you hear about some of the terrorists that were at GITMO!?!?!? NOW, they are FREE in BERMUDA!!!!! Some Americans DREAM of such a life!

      And the FDA is now in CHINA SUPPOSEDLY to help them follow the US laws,

      So we are pyaing IDIOTS to do the IMPOSSIBLE, learn Chinese, live in a hostile country to HELP a hostile nation when they could spend FAR less and with LESS work regulate the ENTIRE PLANETS, heck, every galaxy in outer space! by simply PATROLLING IMPORTS! And they don't even have to move or learn another language!

      So WHY are we paying some IDIOTS to try to control the EXPORTS of one country when we could pay less and do what we WANT by controlling IMPORTS into the US!?!?!?!?

      Sometimes I wonder how those people can even live a DAY! I mean they can DRINK but they will do all this other stuff!?!?!?!?

      The comments are written under pseudonyms. Along with the real names of people who posted comments, the subpoena asks the newspaper for the writers' gender, birth date, physical address, telephone number, Internet service provider, IP address and credit card numbers.
      I'm pretty sure the papers lawyers are laughing their asses off at that.
      So joe dickweed uses a public computer and posts a comment, what's his credit card numbers?
      I'd give them the server logs and say here this is what I got, have fun with that.

      LOL My dear friend, we haven't lived in a "FREE" nation since the 16th amendment was illegally passed in 1913 supposedly giving the US government the right to extort a tax on our labor.

      As far as the terrorist go, get rid of the US government and you get rid of the terrorists. Yes that's right, I said it and I meant it. We are the terrorists. What else would you call a nation of people that allows its so-called leaders to invade other countries, murder hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children all for oil. Sounds like a terrorist to me.

      And everyone has their panties in a bunch about some psycho broad torching a cat? Yes I believe the young lady should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law but let's get real and speak out against some serious issues.
