Frustration & Disillusionment

Sun Feb 27, 2011 4:51 PM EST

A lot of people are frustrated and disillusioned for good reasons. I have tried to remain if not positive, then at least dispassionate about it as possible. Economic recovery after such a big crash will be slow and painful, that is expected.

Pandemic Warning - Stick up the butt syndrome

Fri Feb 18, 2011 12:32 AM EST

Seems like no one can take a joke anymore. I like to exchange ideas and learn but it seems everyone is so damn serious, and quite a few are hateful that it doesn't pay to try to talk to people anymore. Joke em if they can't take a f*ck.

Children with ODD, they're sick, not just rude and obnoxious

Seeded on Fri Jun 26, 2009 8:51 AM EDT ()

"I can't pay attention, I have ADD!" "I can't act polite and respectful, I have ODD!" How nice that we have yet another reason to not adapt to society and become a part of it. Now people have a perfectly valid 'medical' reason for acting like jackasses.

Rider Allowing Concealed Guns in National Parks Snuck Into Credit Card Bill

Seeded on Thu May 21, 2009 9:18 AM EDT (CNN)

A popular bill limiting how badly a credit card company can screw people is getting saddled with a provision to allow concealed weapons in National Parks. Damn sneaky and underhanded in my opinion.

Hi Stone, hope all is well with you? I am just wondering, do you know the fate of Andrew? His page is gone, he posted something on ndeepnow's thread a few days ago, and I think I saw him posting on another thread as well, but went to send him a PM and his page is gone? Does that mean he removed his account here on NV?

Thanks for the friend request. Of course I would be honored to accept and already did so. I read your bio and it was interesting. Did you serve with one of the LE, CI or Intel programs in Iraq or Afghanistan? We may have some things in common. I came out of retirement and went back to work two years ago for a tour at the Embassy in Baghdad.

You must be far leaning left to attack back with such little knowledge and information. It hasn't been great the last 4 years under Bush, this is between a FAR left leaning Dem and an middle road Rep. The only thing I can think of to support Obama for is your looking for a hand out, is that the reason? You think its bad now, it will only get worse if Obama gets in.
