McDonald's may win in court over teen's charity name, but losing big in court of public opinion {WalletPop}
Jan 27th 2010 4:33PM A prime example of irresponsible and greedy capitalism. No wonder our country is seen as a pariniod, schizophrenic and anal retentive around the world and why we are so much hated by some countries and cultures around the world. Sad.

Girl Survives Seven-Story Fall {Lemondrop}
Aug 21st 2009 6:02PM Those of you that are complaining about "these people" helped make them. We all supported laws that create more problems than what they were supposed to fix. Your drug war for one example creates fast money but also crimes that stem from the black market along with all the horrible and far reaching collateral damage. Had we instituted "harm reduction" years ago. Our society would not be so paranoid schizophrenic and anal retentive. Connect the dots and think beyond the box people. Yeah in a irresponsible capitalistic society such as ours, having kids makes sense. You get a little bit of money so one can at least have the basics if that much. People on top earn way too much for what they do while those in the middle and near the bottom do not earn nearly enough for what they do. Also not working is WORK. Yes education is important but so is good hard calorie burning. We need to have a system whereby 40 hours at minimal wages should be enough to secure the basics. If one wants more they can work more and even get married and share the financial burdens and responsibilities. Our Gov't always speaks about "family values". However the way our system works, it does nothing to encourage family values.It even hurts families. Don't get me wrong. I believe in capitalism but one that is responsible and with a safety net. God will not be angry if we decide to take destiny into our hands rather than leaving it in the hands of fate. We need a safety net and proper law and policy making skills based on good common sense and logic, rather than trying to "please" God at the expense of our needs and freedoms.Yes "these people" do have the responsibility for their lives but we all share in making them. Those that disagree are just in denial.
Smuggle poppy seeds, face jail {Gadling}

I guess the United States' Narcophobic war machine (drug war) has got you guys brain washed also. Do you know the collateral damage from such a policy? Hurting innocent peoples. Not only in the US but abroad as well. Take note from the unreported collateral damage the US fails to report. People have been altering their minds for thousands of years without any real problems until some narcophobe decided to ram prohibition down our throats like an violent oral rape. The collateral damage to society far out weights the drugs themselves.
Lighten up people, this insane phobia is going to be knocking on your door. I strongly advise you people in the UAE and elsewhere to lighten up. You do Allah a great and terrible disservice with your over kill.
AOL Straw Poll: Feb. 4-11 {Politics Daily}
Feb 5th 2008 6:48AM We don't need a warrior in the White House. We need someone that can manage our Gov't. Someone like Ron Paul. It's time to think about tomorrow and this "hero warship" always gets into a crisis. Can't we have a nation and world were we live and grow, instead of always in a state of crisis management?
Ashtrays and cigarette lighters going up in smoke {Autoblog}
Jan 28th 2008 1:15PM Make it optional. If you don't smoke don't force your ideals and beliefs onto others. Grant you, if cigarette smoke is really bothering someone, be polite and put it out but good grief America get a life and keep your beliefs and ideals to yourself. America is not about you nor is it about me, but about ALL of us. These pressures groups are pushing us towards and semi fascist mindset. Just a bunch of puritanical whiners. Grow up and get a life.
Giuliani's Wife Part of the Deal, Or Not {AOL Elections Blog}
Apr 1st 2007 12:33PM Oh dear, I guess we will wound up with in the same old crap again.
We need new blood. Young blood to get us out of this insane rut America has been in form the last several decades. There are too many Americans that are too irresponsible with capitalism. Don't get me wrong here. I love capitalism but it must be run with a great sense of responsibility. We need to make our labors valuable again instead of trying to squeeze out every "dime" we can from little effort. Effort must count again and the value of that effort must be the driving force behind success. This goes for the hamburger flipper as well as the nurse and doctors.
We need to think about tomorrow instead of fighting our grand parents problems. We need to value our freedoms and legislate to protect them, not sell them for a little security at the expense of our liberties and personal space. We need to think as part of the global neighborhood instead of the bully of the block. And we must value our spirit first not our pocket books.
Millions were killed by the spread of aids during the 1970-80's because of a mind set that controlled public policy. During the 70's and 80's we had a chance to curb the spread of aids with needle exchange programs and educating the public about aids. However because of homophobia stemming from some Christian belief system people in political power did not promote needle exchanges and spread some hateful dogma about homosexuality being so evil. The lack of needle exchanges and homophobia spread this dreaded disease called aids around the world killing millions. All because of some ambiguous belief system. Millions were killed by "pleasing God" at the expense of human needs. That was really smart. People in political and religious powers had an opportunity to stop this dreaded disease that now threatens everyone. This here give God a bad name. Those responsible need to apologize and make amends to mankind. Let's not forget to beg for forgiveness for making such a horrible decision that killed millions and left loved ones alone and in grief.
Stem cells. Do you really think God is happier to keep people in their wheel chairs? Christians and conservatives always make decisions about God at the expense of human needs and freedoms. This really gives God a bad name. Again Christians need to repair the damage done to God's name from the years of political and religious incompetence and abuse. The drug war too is way over intense causing far more problems than the drugs themselves.
Why not stop this war on our on people, the drug war (narcophobe war machine) and use that money caring for our soldiers. "Harm reduction" is a far more saner and far more cheaper approach.
