WOW, I did kind of use a poor choice of words. Maybe It will just read " I TOLD YOU I WAS SICK DAMIT"

[Pukin Dog]

30K? Are you serious?

This guy has been bitching and moaning over what someone can make at STARBUCKS?

Get out.

[Joe Hadenuf]

That's exactly why I am independent! I am able to speak my mind and offer honest opinions without being obligated to take sides. I could care less who I offend.

The hypocrites on all sides and their political tit for tat, and endless juvenile punchfest and name calling is very disturbing. This includes the Republican's, Democrats and the press.

I have a dream of a United America, a country that protects it's own borders and sovereignty, and puts our *own* people first, all the time, everytime.

I know, this sounds a little extreme to some people.

[nopardons]

Let's call a spade a spade...shall we? :-)

He's a fraud,a LIAR ,a conman,incapable of understanding economics on the simplest level,and a bloody LIBERAL attention seeker.

[Toddsterpatriot]

30K? Are you serious?

Yeah, but don't you know all the 30K jobs are being shipped to Africa where pygmies will work for 50 cents a week.

Just don't tell the UAW.

[Kryptonite]

Keep your resolve and be strong! - GWB

Eff Emphysema - kryptonite

[Havoc]

I'll agree that labor unions have done some damage but at least as much good originally. They started off largely with good motives and turned into what they protested such that they now are the tyrants and have made businiesses twice the beasts they used to be with less capacity to wound directly. Not good. Being there to protect a guy from an unfair firing because a foreman decides one day in passing that he doesn't like yo is pretty good. On the other hand, they also keep jobs for people who walk in, punch in and then leave and spend the day at a bar across town till time to punch out. When the cry for "X" turns to X + tyranny, it's usefulness needs to be re-examined. Who does the re-examination? I'm all for it if we can figure that out. But in their absence, who serves their legitimate purposes? If businesses would contract to ensure the good things unions do - unions would dissappear because the workers would no longer need the unions to secure what the business has garaunteed.

Best guess on how I got the emphysema, is a combination of factors - not the least of which was getting Athsmatic bronchitis in my teen years. It's a gift that keeps on giving and causes irreparable damage to the lungs over time.
Between Chronic bronchitis and emphysema, it makes staying healthy a real juggling act. Lotsa vitamin supplements, lots of Gatoraide to keep me hydrated because I dehydrate easily. You don't drink tons of tea or tons of colas because that causes dehydration - something you learn pretty quick. Anyway, that's the best they could tell me. I was 31 when diagnosed and at that time they told me It was impossible for cigarette smoking to cause emphysema that young - so if you're worried about that - I'd be worried but it won't cause it in youth.

[nopardons]

Then just shut up already!

There are more IT jobs out there, right now, for qualified Americans,with good works habits,who don't lie on their resumes,for great pay,than there have been for the past year and 1/2!

You brought up the " lazy eye" thing. Were you born with it? If so, why didn't your parents get it fixed?

You aren't terminally ill at all. You are ill ( unless that is yet another lie),but you expect that your employer give you FREE health insurance. WHY IS THAT? You are NOT "owed" health insurance and lots of people have to pay for their own health insurance.

There are many FREEPERS who are more seriously ill than you, yet they NEVER complain on threads.

At 35, it is long past time that you grew up!

[Texasforever]

It affects my memory because of the oxygen deprivation. And my extremities go numb in warm weather - good circulation; but, not enough oxygen.

Look you are starting to really piss me off. If you were at that stage you would be carrying around an oxygen bottle and not an inhaler. What is your O2 saturation on room air?

[Havoc]

Nah, sure didn't.

[nopardons]

There always have been...some extremely famous,like Ben Turpin, who made a fortune in silent movies, with his LAZY EYE ! :-)

[Kay]

Sounds right as far as the numbers go.

This may sound funny... but...I will pay up since I brought up the issue, however, you don't need to send me anything. Why? because it isn't worth the trouble of pay-pal. I've never used it and it sounds cumbersome. Besides, I'm going to win.

Glad that you think Bush will win.

[Havoc]

Nah, it's just effective and therefor enrages you. I'm happy for you. Ignoring you otherwise.

[nopardons]

I'm exhausted ( just got back from vacation...but we drove home and it was 11 hours of hell and I got up at the crack of dawn...which is NOT when I am wont to rise ),so my usual superb memory is not up to par,but that is what I think he said he earned at his "dream job"...with three pay raises yet. LOL

[nopardons]

Your "dream" sounds like Cuba;not America.

[Havoc]

Yep, He tried to ambush me and I defended myself and betrayed his decietful ploy for what it was. And now, I'm going to bed. Enjoy your evening.

[Petronski]

Nah, it's just effective and therefor enrages you.

Enrages me? Don't flatter yourself. Humor is all you've provided me. I'll leave the rage to the people who actually have the disease you claim.

You thought you could bullshit your way to sympathy. This crowd is too smart for you. And I don't care when you registered with Free Republic. You're no conservative.

I think I've seen you at the airport: one hand out, and a lying sob story written on cardboard in the other. "Please pity me, I'm terminally ill!"

[fatima]

nopardons,Welcome back ,hope you had a nice vacation.

[YoSoy2]

I wish he gives more press conferences. It's a joy to watch him make fools of the questioner by not answering their questions.

Did you hear his challenge to Kerry? He welcomes debating Kerry in as many debates as possible. I look forward to at least a dozen debates or more.

[Texasforever]

I didn't "ambush" you, you committed credibility suicide. Next time you contract a "terminal illness" make it one that is so rare that nobody else has it.
