| Re: 2005 Repsol 1000RR has arrived awesome thanks guys. I really would like to visit the country sometime in my life though. Australia and Italy are my 2 top places to visit.
I woulda had atleast a tiny bit of respect for Bush if he had just said int he first place that he was going into Iraq to finish what his father started. simple as that, but he's still a complete moron.

Home ownership at all time highs, overall personal wealth at all time highs, the markets recovering from the klintonista burstings, poverty rate at an all time low, total number of working Americans at an all time high, GDP growth at record pace levels.

Just leave, and take your sniveling, bleeding heart friends with you.
And while you're at it, rescind your citizenship for the remainder of your life so you can't come back.

German? Japanese? What language might be in your future if we don't continue to do what the 'rest of the world' detests?
I'm sure Yamamoto of Hitler would have been open to the expert diplomatic skills of your country. Maybe you feel you understand and can reason with the likes of Arafat, or Zarqawi (sp?). Invite him over for dinner at your house and sing cumbaya (sp?) to him and his minions.

I cant beleive that what I would have thought to have been such a beautiful thread has turned into this? And no pics of the Repsol bike |

The economy is growing at a very rapid pace.
Your left wing commentary on logging, insurance and SS further shows your ignorance.
Too bad, really, as you are at a point in your life where you could either turn your personal situation around or further drive it into the left-wing downward spiral of hate, dispair and dependance on government programs that have no right to exist.
Honestly, I feel for you, but you could make a huge difference in a matter of days if you truly wanted to. |

In my wildest nightmares, I could never have dreamed up "the bush". | The economy is not exciting, but clearly without Bush's tax cuts it would be worse. Would that be a good thing? I dunno, you decide. I see both sides of the argument...but I'm normally against tax cuts without a cut in services. Of course, I'm still employed and without tax cuts in 02, who knows if I would be or not.
It's ironic, our standard of living has never been higher in this country but people complain. What happens when we finally do come to the point to "pay the piper" for the excess the politicians have been giving us and our standard of living drops? I dunno, but I'm sure I'll see it with mine own eyes.
Social security? Bankrupt. In need of reform and reduction in services and payouts. It's simple really. Time for people to quit expecting handouts from the government.
Medical reform? Much more tricky, but anyone in this country who needs it can get healthcare. If you don't believe me, go into an ER sometime.
