I guess it was Governor Blanco’s fault that Homeland Security preformed so inadequately too? I guess she was foolish enough to make FEMA a part of a huge bureaucracy known as Homeland Security? I guess it was really her disguised as George Bush tha...  [Read More]

People die in war. That is a fact. Hopefully the American people will think before they put someone in office that believes war is the first option and not the last. In all honesty, I don't appreciate you labeling President Bush as a warmonger. If...  [Read More]

Then there is just reporting deaths every single day, roadside bombs, etc. That isn't news, that is trying to demoralize the American people. I hate to sound cold, but it's a war and people die in war. I respectfully disagree. Paris Hilton or Britne...  [Read More]

And sometimes it's true, but a lot of the time, the reason I avoided work at school was because I couldn't actually work out the process, I didn't know how to do it. I can't speak for you, but I'd be surprised if you didn't at least on occasion exper...  [Read More]

however part of it could have been frustration, you felt like you were going to fail anyways so why try. Granted for some it is due to laziness, but that isn't always the case. However, I'm glad you finally graduated. No, in my case it was 100% lazi...  [Read More]
