Reply to Time For Kids is Biased! in Politics JoeUser Forums

>>> ""Mr. Bush wants kids to learn". Well isn't that nice. He "wants" kids to learn. How is he going to do it? This says to kids that Kerry doesn't care about kids learning. My daughter even said "Doesn't Preseidential Candidate Kerry want kids to learn?" Of course he does! Easier said than done. Goes both ways doesn't it ? Oh wait..

HOLY ! Have you ever added up how many hours a year you spend sitting in a car !?! For that alone, I feel sorry for you, but I forgive you because you drive a Monte Carlo. =D >>> Why would it cost you $400 a year just to own and title your vehicle? It's called living in North Carolina. Nice huh ? And actually, it's more. Now you see why I am bitter.

Reply to Gas Prices in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Bad assumption KarmaGirl. I went to the site, and didn't see any way to choose the following vehicles: Feet (walk) Bike Light-rail But seriously - I calculated $140 a year increase from gas. Funny thing is - I pay something like $2,500 in property taxes, $7,500 in state income taxes, and a 7% sales tax, $400 a year just to own and title my vehicle. Let's just back-of-the-envelope it at $12,000 annually. How

Nice try, but I'm not going to a site with a URL of "georgewbush.com". Funny. Listen. As someone who doesn't drive very much, I am sick of paying taxes for road improvements, traffic cops, etc, etc all to SUBSIDIZE your driving. Fair is fair - if you want to drive, you should pull your weight by paying the appropriate amount of taxes. Another 500 bucks a car sounds fair for me. That's more money in my pocket - money I deserve to keep

First 5k in Sports & Leisure JoeUser Forums

Ran my first 5k yesterday after what has been an 18 month journey to get off the couch. Time: 27 minutes exactly. (8:42 mile). Yeah I know it's slow, but not bad for an old man that had 25 lbs of baggage a year ago. It felt awesome.. and.. the best thing - I beat all the females in the 9 and under category (in your face little brats!) What did you do this wee

Reply to Things I learned today that pissed me off. in Misc JoeUser Forums

Are you bitter because you feel "ripped off" - or because you weren't smart enough to figure out the system until now ? Kick back - stop working so hard, enjoy life ! Or become wealthy enough that you don't have to worry about it - or at least so that it doesn't cause you to become bitter. Like me </font

Excellent article. Sherye predicted it in the first reply. No hawks feel like admitting they are wrong.

I think it is important to know what opportunities lie ahead, so we can effectively fund our military and get them out of Iraq ASAP and on to be
