Well Heather B., I'm on your side I'm on the side of all sensible, civil, forward thinking speech. There is a select few I can talk to on this site who I know are good people. I just can't stand the stinkin' trolls, and other wierdos..and yes, I'll say it, I DONT like MCET!!!! Anyway, I just wanted to let you know Heather that I will deifnitely have your back it someone attacks you on this site!!! EXAMPLE = "GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!" lol!

Hey Heather B! Actually, I DO think it's is everyone's right to drive whatever they want, whether you're American, Canadian, French, Iraqi, etc.

I recycle and I don't litter and honestly don't believe that people who buy SUV's hate the environment...there are MULTIPLE reasons to have an SUV (like I said before, towing things, having a bigger and safer car on the freeway, having a big truck to move things, etc.). I honestly don't believe people who buy SUV's are like "Ha, ha! Frick the environment!"

I, for one, don't believe all the man-made global warming hype. Sure, our earth's temp. has gone up 1 degree over the last hundred years...but scientists are STILL arguing whether that's caused by man-made carbon emissions OR cyclical climate changes over 100's and 1000's of years. I'm more concerned about the terrorism, Iranian/Syrian/N. Korean nuclear threat at the moment.

Lol! about your Range Rover/"No War For Oil" bumper sticker! That's pretty funny. That's about as bad all the "Kerry/Edwards '04" bumper stickers sitting right next to the "support the troops" ribbons!

How have you been by the way Heather B.! It's good to see you on the site!

Jen1 - I apologize for taking your comments as an attack. I honestly thought they were. After reading through your posts later in this thread though, you seem like a nice, sensible person...just with opposing views from mine! No problemo! And I'm sorry for coming off harsh in my first 2 posts b/c I did feel attacked in the previous thread.

Going to dinner, be back soon. :)

Hey Heather, is your husband in school for his MOS, or something else? Leon leaves for San Antonio soon for MOS school(Nuclear Radiology). His unit is deploying to Iraq in Sept. Luckily, he won't have to go again because he isn't MOS certified (he just rejoined the reserves). Say a prayer for them. Luckily its a medical unit, so they'll be in a hospital; not "in the sh!t!"

Jolee....god no...there was a troll stalking me all weekend. I only went online a couple times and just happened to be looking at that one and saw my name. If you scroll up from that comment you'll see I posted one denying it, and saying I don't think OJ is worthy of my comment.
OJ there are no words.

This is what p!sses me off about suv's and the enviroment. This doesn't mean all suv owners. The other day at the store I saw a Range Rover w/ a sticker on it that said "No war for oil." That's my problem.

Yes I completely agree! Peace sister! It is tough because sometimes when we write something it isn't exactly how we meant it to be. I'm just sayin'. I get you, I don't think we should all be driving hybrids and that will save the world. For me what I wrote is it was a personal choice. Katie can drive anything she needs to, lol katie! It was just how it was written, I was trying to play devils advocate so we could all get along and see each others points. Like I said if we could do that then we can save the world! Girl power!

Can't we attack the issues instead of each other? How are all us smart wonderful women going to solve anything this way?

I don't think its bad at all to share views from each party. In fact, I think that's what's best! It causes people to really consider what they believe. If I had to lump myself into a category, I fall into the Libertarian party.

Katie, last week it kind of sounded like it was your right as an American to drive what ever you wanted to. I promise I'm not trying to get you mad at me:0) I sent you a birthday ecard too!

I like Rosie when she isn't talking about the war. She can be really funny.

Hey guys, last week I got lambasted by Jen1 for being a selfish American for driving an SUV. I'm only repearing some of the sentiments she shared on a thread last week. But yes, I do have a problem with people who truly and honeslty with all their heart believe that Bush INTENTIONALLY lied and made up ALL that information JUST to get us into a war. I think people like that are ignorant and totally ridiculous! It they watch way too much liberal news and believe everything that's said without thinking about it, processing it, and coming to sensible conclusions using common sense.

There was information coming in from ALL OVER THE WORLD (Britain's intelligence, Russia's intelligence) saying what a threat Sadaam was and how he was actively seeking nuke capability. He broke multiple UN resolutions regarding nukes, and MOST people thought he had WMD's. Bush had to (with the HELP OF CONGRESS) make an extremely difficult decision, with the information at hand, in a relatively short amount of time. Hindsight's 20/20, and we now know some of the intelligence was faulty...but even you anti-war/peace-activists would be screaming at Bush had he NOT done something with the information he had at the time and the US had gotten attacked.

Sorry, but I'm just totally sick of this "Bush lied, people died" rhetoric. And perseverating on the retarded notion that Bush intentionally lied to the American people does NOTHING to help the situation at hand. We're there now. Deal with it and support our troop stabilization of the country so they can come home.

Kate calm down, you know Americans don't hold the rights to dying in wars. I also have friends in the military. There are Canadians dying in Afghanastan. I understand that the individual soliders have their own reasons for being there. Look back at my post, I don't even think that they should get out of Iraq, you're there now, you can't just suddenly leave.
Why do you get so defensive just because i'm trying to talk about Bush. I never actually said I hated him, I don't know him. I sure hate the way it appears he is running your country. By the way, I also live in a free country, and i'm allowed to say what I want, and have an opinion about what your American government is doing to the rest of the world. You can't just be a country that decides what's good for everyone else. That seems to be what George Bush's attitude is. At least that's the impression he gives to a lot of the rest of the world. Who wouldn't be annoyed and offended at that.
Don't suppress my own canadian right to say what I like, thank you very much.

Ann Coulter is a psycho! Not all republicans follow those people, although I do like Sean Hanity. That's like saying you love Cindy Shehan and Al Sharpton.

I live in Missouri, it is a little scary out here!
