MADRID (Reuters) - Hundreds of nude cyclists pedaled around Spanish cities on Saturday to protest against car-clogged streets and demand greater respect for pollution-free transport. With slogans like "one car less" and "bio methanol" painted on their backs, the naked cyclists staged Spain's third annual Ciclonudista or "Nudecycle" in Madrid, Barcelona and Pamplona. The protest was part of world-wide naked bike riding events on Saturday across Europe, North America and South America. "We feel naked when up against traffic because people don't see the bicycle as just another means of transport," said Madrid cyclist Ramon Linaza, wearing only a cycle...

LOWER BURRELL, Pa. -- A Lower Burrell school student is facing a three-day suspension for sharing gum with a classmate. Jolt chewing gum has caffeine and ginseng. The Lower Burrell school superintendent said consuming and passing out the gum violates the school's drug awareness policy. That's because caffeine is considered a stimulant. Parents told Channel 11 they did not understand the suspension. Resident Elizabeth Grombacher said, "I think it's stupid. Everything's getting too politically correct it's so wrong." "It's probably just like Mountain Dew or something like that. If it's got a lot of caffeine in it and they probably...

Bible proves Earth is center of universe, author argues The Earth is at the center of Robert Sungenis' universe. Literally. Yours too, he says. Sungenis is a geocentrist. He contends the sun orbits the Earth instead of vice versa. He says physics and the Bible show that the vastness of space revolves around us; that we're at the center of everything, on a planet that does not rotate. He has just completed a 1,000-page tome, "Galileo Was Wrong," the first in a pair of books he hopes will persuade readers to "give Scripture its due place, and show that science...

Is it possible for a President of the United States to be sent to the Hague to be tried for war crimes? What would be the procedure for doing this?

Pretty much sums up the entire mindset of the Democratic Party in 4 frames

Better with coke Why Quebecers love their gay, drug-snorting PQ leadership hopeful BENOIT AUBIN He's got the looks of a matinee idol, a grin that could melt icebergs, and, at 39, in a political formation made up mostly of white-haired veterans, André Boisclair still passes for young. So what better than a little political striptease to sex up his campaign for the Parti Québécois leadership even more? At the onset, he admitted he is gay, and "proud of living in such a tolerant society." Two weeks ago, he went on Tout le monde en parle, the province's hippest talkshow, and...

Today a FRreeper Newbie Zotted a fellow member and himself by total accident. In a bizzare turn of events, a troll entered the room, and "MississippiMuddy" lost all control over what he was doing. The condition of the Zotted FReeper is in great condition, forgiving the newbie for not being properly trained in Zotting.

Many argue that communism will never be possible because of "human nature". The essence of this false argument is the belief that a communist society would consist of an all-powerful central government that would tell everybody what to do--and would therefore undermine the creative initiative of individuals and the search for happiness. • This argument is based on two false assumptions: (1) It assumes that a communist society will look like the former Soviet Union, or the current China, North Korea, etc (ie: corrupt police states with a feudal-style ruling class) (2) It assumes that people will only work in...

Ever hear of how republican's always call the liberal left "Whiner's"? Well, take a look at Wa. State, ...who are the Whiner's now? LOTS OF LAUGHS! Boy, the shoes on the other foot now! I think it's great, don't you? These people deserve it..! Has anyone seen the comedian on HBO, who gave a discription of a "Republican"? Wow was that great, and very very true.

So, how are things going elsewhere in Iraq? Despite the fact that it's clearly uncool these days for people to ask "tough questions," even when they're asked to, some news is still leaking out. For example, according to the London Times, the US Army is "plagued by desertion and plunging morale" - apparently more than 5,000 soldiers have deserted since the war began, and "For the first time in a decade, the Army National Guard missed its recruitment target this year." The Times article goes on, "Experts are divided over how stretched America’s military really is. But they agree that...

Prompted by Senator Norm Coleman's call for UN Secretary General Kofi Annan to resign over the swindling of the UN Oil for Food program with Iraq, the broadcast networks on Wednesday night and Thursday morning finally touched on a building scandal long covered by FNC. But interviewing Coleman on Thursday's Today, Katie Couric treated him as the one with a position in need of defense. She told him: "It's been reported that three thousand UN staff members signed an email saying the accusations against the United Nations were quote, 'made without full knowledge of the facts.'" And she suggested a...

On last night's edition of Hannity and Colmes on Foxnews, Allan Colmes had a delightful conversation with former ambassador, Senator, and 2004 Democratic Presidential also-ran, Carol Mosley Braun. The topic of said conversation was the validity of President Bsh's new cabinet nominations in relation to the race of those nominees. Colmes questioned Braun, "Are these appointments 'symbolism' or 'substance?'" This question was in reference to the nominations of Condoleeza Rice, an African American, to be Secretary of State, Alberto Gonzalez, a Hispanic, to be Attorney General, and Carlos Guitierrez, also a Hispanic, to be Secretary of Commerce. Mosley Braun slyly...

Just signed up to see what The KKK and it's supporters are up to- as usual I found the most racist, sexist homophobic war monging hate mongering idiots I've ever seen gathered in one place all right here on this one website. It's good to know you assholes are can all be communicated to in one place- since most of you are illiterate and ignorant it will be easy to disseminate info to you redncek losers.

A Plea to American Conservatives I write to you as a friend from the United Kingdom concerned that you may re-elect George W. Bush as President of your great country. I am not a condescending Guardian reader and I am exceedingly pro-American. It is for this reason that I ask you not to vote for Bush. Terrorism cannot be defeated by dropping bombs from B-52's or by invading sovereign nations that posed no threat to the security of the Western world. Bush started a war that violated the notion of sovereignty so important to the Conservative movement for a spurious...

Putin: Ally or Terrorist? by William F. Jasper Counting Vladimir Putin as an ally against terrorism ignores his career in the murderous KGB/FSB and his ongoing support for terrorist regimes and organizations. ‘‘Lena Goncharuk, aged 38, said that she was the only one to survive out of a group of six who were ordered out of the cellar where they had been hiding and shot at point blank range. Resting in her hospital bed, her voice barely rising above a whisper, she said she had survived only by pretending to be dead." So reported Paul Wood from the Chechen border...

"U.N. Oil corruption" Jacques Chirac, Kofi Annan, United Nations political cartoon.  April 20, 2004 U.N. financed terrorby Roger Wm. Hughes The United Nations has long been an irrelevant debating society that has wasted funds in ways that would have made Tammany Hall bosses green with envy. Now, the U.N. is clearly involved in corruption on a grand world scale, amounting to over $10 billion in kickbacks and corruption. Money that helped Saddam Hussein continue his reign of terror. Money that helped allow Hussein to do things like lower his own people into shredders -- feet first. It was also...

I have seen many posts and articles regarding the anti-war protesters (actually they are anti-Bush and anti-capatilism). Many of these articles contain quotes from the protesters, and these quotes expose them as the idiots that they are. I am posting this thread in hopes that it can serve as a central location to post and retrieve their moronic statements. I will start the list. "Saddam is a very confused and mixed up man," said activist Elise Bontrager. "And I think maybe that he hurts his people more than he needs to." --WSBT News

February 15, 2003 Peace-lovin' Commies bear a bloody pedigree By CHARLES ADLER -- Winnipeg Sun A quick quiz for those of you whose knowledge of history extends to beyond what you had for breakfast. Do you remember the Berlin Wall? The Vietnam War? The Korean conflict? The cultural revolution in China? Tiananmen Square in China? Does anybody remember the communists crushing the Hungarians in 1956? The Czechs in 1968? Is anyone old enough to remember the communists trying to wipe out every independent farm family in Ukraine in the 1930s? Now, does anybody still believe communists are about peace? Peace...
