Is this a SUMMARY OF YOUR LAST YEAR ON THE COMPUTER, too?
SUMMARY OF MY LAST YEAR ON THE COMPUTER I must send my thanks to whoever sent me the one about poop in the glue on Envelopes because I now have to use a wet towel with every envelope that Needs sealing. Also, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason. I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl (Penny Brown) Who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time. I no longer have any money, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 That Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in th eir Special e-mail program. I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out For me, and St. Theresa's novena has granted my every wish. I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant Freaks with no eyes or feathers. I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water Buffalo on a hot day. Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward An email to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes. Because of your concern, I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove Toilet stains. I no longer can buy gasoline without taking someone along to watch the car So a serial killer won't crawl in my back seat when I'm pumping gas. I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr. Pepper since the people who make these Products are atheists who refuse to put "Under God" on their cans. I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer. And thanks for letting me know I can't boil a cup of water in the microwave Anymore because it will blow up in my face... Disfiguring me for life. I no longer check the coin return on pay phones or newspaper stands, because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS .

Why is Obama SPENDING so much?
Why is Obama SPENDING so much?
Honestly!!!! A billion dollars here, a trillion dollars there, meanwhile we're still left over paying billions a month to pay for 2 wars going on. I voted for the guy, it was a no-brainer, but now I'm starting to wonder... I have a BA in Political Science and Economics and with this level of spending, no one will want to hold our bonds anymore because they're just worthless, there's no scarcity. Thus, to force feed people bonds, we need to hike the interest rate up so they get more of a return from us paying back the borrowed money. Also, if they don't sell bonds, they need to print more money, which equals high inflation, especially since we've spent so much already. Am I the only LIBERAL DEMOCRAT that sees this going on? I am all for funding public health care, education, etc. but the fact of the matter is we live in a capitalist country, and we CAN'T afford all these programs at once. Are we going to be like Argentina and default on our debts twice and pay inflation of 20%, with huge taxes? Perhaps China will liquidate the dollars they have and crash our economy. Do any of you see what is going on? This is so dangerous, it greatly worries me. When mid-term elections roll around I'll make sure they hear my voice. Anyway, what do you guys think? BTW I AM NOT AN IMPOSTOR TRYING TO GARNER VOTES! I DID vote for Obama and I like the guy, but he's spending us into a depression, bottom line! We haven't even seen a whole lot of effects from the stimulus plan. Besides the fact people have kept jobs, and that's great! But, unemployment is a lagging factor. People are just not spending because they're afraid. No amount of money released into the system will gain consumer confidence. In fact, I would argue that the spending makes it worse because we know the debt we're getting into. I don't mean to rant, but I wanted to give my opinion lol. Please answer what you think, I don't care which side you're on =) EDIT: By the way, spending on education and health care = more votes for Obama. Does he ever get sick of being a populist? Birdy: Well duh! Money is not real! I know this! I'm an economist! There is no longer gold to back it up, so money is just cotton paper and metal. The only thing that keeps the system going is the promise of people to pay back their debt (loans, etc.). That's all that adds value to money, besides the fact that people want to use it, generally, as a means of exchange instead of carrying around goats and seed. The minute that the US as a whole decides that the dollar is no longer accepted, but the "worldo" is, then the dollar is WORTHLESS. That's exactly what China is worried about since they own 70% of our debt. Btw, you still didn't answer me question... Sudeep: C'est vrai ça??? Je le savais pas... 91 Euros chaque jour pour des fleurs de merde? C'est pour ça que quand j'étais à Paris, j'ai vu beaucoup de fleurs. LOL!!!! Bon, j'ai une vidéo pour toi, tu vas t'amuser beaucoup avec celle-ci. Souviens-toi que quand on vole de la musique, on vole la président de la république!!! C'est de ces fonds dont les fleures viennent. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVzmbDziloU

money is not real We are moving towards one world government and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Try not to worry yourself so much Edit: OK OK, My answer to your question IS that Obama is a puppet, not a real leader and the United States is no longer a sovereign nation. Doesn't he seem a little... I don't know...FAKE to you? He does to me. But hey, what do I know, I'm mentally ill and love conspiracy theories. Everything is a conspiracy to me.
2 :
I am eagerly waiting for the pimpmobile to come out of the garage and Mr. O showing up in a Zoot suit.
3 :
Well, I'm sure he'd want to outdo Sarkozy and Carla Bruni. They spend about 660 Francs on flowers each daily.
4 :
Because to him its all "change"
5 :
I agree it's a slippery slope. I think we desperately need the changes that are being pushed by his administration, but I think it's a bit ridiculous that he's trying to find funding for this without raising taxes. Nobody likes taxes, but if it means vastly improved education and healthcare in this country, I'd happily pay them. I was hoping that Obama would minimize spending at least for a little while, so we could start paying back some of the money we owe to other nations, but that was just selfish optimism, and I didn't think he'd actually do it. Nevertheless, you're right. This is putting the economy on the line, and it's unhealthy. But accruing this amount of debt in the first place was avoidable, yet our warmongering former president made it happen anyway.
6 :
Guess what, that's the change he was talking about when you guys voted for him. He is nothing but a liar. I have not seen anything positive since hes been in office. and about that healthcare program he was talking about... its stupid. I suggest we vote him out of office next term.

Because He wants to be like Ronald Reagan was in Genesis' Land of Confusion maybe Lady GaGa will have something for him and Michelle in the Near Future. Stay Tuned

money is not real We are moving towards one world government and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Try not to worry yourself so much Edit: OK OK, My answer to your question IS that Obama is a puppet, not a real leader and the United States is no longer a sovereign nation. Doesn't he seem a little... I don't know...FAKE to you? He does to me. But hey, what do I know, I'm mentally ill and love conspiracy theories. Everything is a conspiracy to me.

I am eagerly waiting for the pimpmobile to come out of the garage and Mr. O showing up in a Zoot suit.

Well, I'm sure he'd want to outdo Sarkozy and Carla Bruni. They spend about 660 Francs on flowers each daily.
4 :
Because to him its all "change"
5 :
I agree it's a slippery slope. I think we desperately need the changes that are being pushed by his administration, but I think it's a bit ridiculous that he's trying to find funding for this without raising taxes. Nobody likes taxes, but if it means vastly improved education and healthcare in this country, I'd happily pay them. I was hoping that Obama would minimize spending at least for a little while, so we could start paying back some of the money we owe to other nations, but that was just selfish optimism, and I didn't think he'd actually do it. Nevertheless, you're right. This is putting the economy on the line, and it's unhealthy. But accruing this amount of debt in the first place was avoidable, yet our warmongering former president made it happen anyway.
6 :
Guess what, that's the change he was talking about when you guys voted for him. He is nothing but a liar. I have not seen anything positive since hes been in office. and about that healthcare program he was talking about... its stupid. I suggest we vote him out of office next term.

Because He wants to be like Ronald Reagan was in Genesis' Land of Confusion maybe Lady GaGa will have something for him and Michelle in the Near Future. Stay Tuned

I'm sure there are a handful of you out there. Guess what? The wonderful thing about America is that no one will try to keep you here. You can apply to immigration in any other country and if they will take you, you can be on your way. OR you can just complain and cry with no actual intention of going anywhere, because you KNOW that you couldn't stand it elsewhere no matter what you say and you are just full of hot air -- like Alec Baldwin.

I am Peruvian now living in the United States. While i agree with you that life in Peru ( never been to any other country) is much much simpler and people are happy with what little they have (unlike here), finding jobs is really hard, very competitive, and you cant really choose any career you want ( you can but you have to check how its doing in the job market). thats why people want to move to the US, more opportunity.
11 :
I agree with much of what you say. The solution is to accept that you will feel a certain amount of alienation if you try to buck the system. Better to feel a bit alienated though than to accept all the junk thrown at us daily from the media and the government. It's good that you are questioning your life and I hope you find good answers and have some happiness in this life.

America is the land of Dreams to the improvished...

Ha - really - everyone WANTS to move to the USA? cant say i know a single person who does!
14 :
Perception is always the truth for an individual, so maybe it's time for you to go and give it a try. But remember this, traveling in another country and actually living in that country are very, very, different.

I do understand what you mean. I was born and raised in America but I have lived all over the world because my dad is in the air force. When I lived in the Azores Islands of Portugal, I could not believe the difference between there and America. In the Azores, everything was quiet and everyone was so laid back. There were no malls, huge shopping centers, skyscraping cities, traffic, etc. Walking and donkies were the main mode of transportation. People bought their food fresh at the market and got their household items from those who specifically made those items.... there was a bread lady, a basket man, a seamstress, etc. It was so relaxing and peaceful. The Azoreans were not concerned with money, houses, and material things. Everytime I would come back to America, I would have culture shock from all of the noise, traffic, go-go-go attitude and impatience. Even visiting Italy and Australia.. there is such a different pace of life and is much less stressful than here at home. I love the European way of life... they work to live rather than live to work like we do here. But, living overseas I did miss the many things I'm so used to here such as movie theaters, grocery stores, walmart, etc... I love America and feel blessed to have been able to experience many of the other countries of the world.

why do these die hard americans think america is the absolute only great place in the entire world you are all a bunch of puppets im down to get out of here our government is full of terriorist the only thing with leaving is what if they come and ruin the country you move to..a very possible thing

As one American to another I think the USA is the greatest nation on this planet! I lived in the USA for over 40 some years but have been living in Central America ( Guatemala) for over ten years. People here are friendly. In the USA even my relatives treat me like "who are you"! Move south my advice! Health insurance alone is worth the move. Less cost and more coverage and better doctors! More attention to the client! No you are not the only one! Most people here do not have an opportunity for a job and that is why they are willing to accept less in wages for work that most Americans refuse to do! I say legalize all the immigrants that do not have proper documents. Make them pay their taxes just like all Americans are forced to pay. Take everyone off the welfare roles and put them back to work to lessen the burden on those that are forced to pay for them. Democrats need to vote Republican to insure that the USA survives another four years!

I think the US used to be like that long time ago, at least for my grandma's stories I can tell it was.

We DO know how you FEEL to some extent. Have you thought about altering your lifestyle before you "jump ship"? Before my wife and I retired, we spoke about the "rat race", traffic and pollution, and how so many of us "live to work" instead of "working to live", and how our possesions seemed to be a "mill stone" around our necks. We love America and knew there is a lot of beauty and good out there, so we decided to go find it. We sold the house, gave away the furniture and a lot more. We bought a used travel trailer and pickup truck. We have been "living on the road" seeing the country for 10 years now and love it! We tell people, "We don't have Real Estate, we have Wheel Estate"! If we don't like the weather, the neighbors, or get tired of the scenery, we move! Now, before all you "ecconuts" get your bowels in an uproar about our lifestyle, let me clue you in on a few FACTS. We don't move around constantly sucking up fuel while polluting our air. We stay in each place up to as long as 6 months at a time. Our "carbon footprint" is smaller, MUCH SMALLER, than it was when we had a "house" and drove back and forth to work each day. We use far less water and electricity and have1/10 the space to keep warm in winter and cool in summer. We spend the winters in Arizona and summer on the coast of Washington and Oregon. We have met and stayed in contact with some of the most wonderful people we have ever met! This is a WONDERFUL country! Can't disagree one bit with those who say it is being DISTROYED by those who don't care about the Constitution and those who don't understand WHY we have immagration laws. Our "elected officials" now and in the past and the voter that put them in there are who I hold responsibl and am VERY angry with! Maybe, in your vacation time, you can tour America and find some little out of the way place you like and live a simpler life "away from it all". It ALL depends on how you look at it!
33 :
I know nearly 100% of the people in this Country is going to disagree with this but hey I'm not on Yahoo for votes or numbers those things are not important to me. But I believe in a World where people should be able to come and go as they please not being tied to some Rope or Mother may I. I guess this whole World got the wrong ideal of what Freedom really means. Free means Free no matter now you cut it. How can anyone in their right mind think that life is better in America when your life is on a rope that is tied to your Government's hand. If I'm dating someone from another Country the Government should not have any say so of if the person I Love can come into this Country or not. It is good to know that Governments in other parts of the World don't think like the American Government. Many people like myself want to get out and enjoy other parts of the World and I'm sure they are like myself would like to do this without anything holding them back or making it hard on them. I have heard many people say from other Countries like Germany that it is easier for me to come to their Country than it is for them to come to the U.S. I think this should tell many people something in this Country. But we live in a World where everyone want to control someone and boss someone to the people of America is really living their life like this and shouldn't. Author, Eddie Smith.

All I can say is, maybe you're living in the wrong part of the US. If you live on the east or west coasts, then I can see why you're so dis-illusioned. You need to come to the smaller towns in the Midwest. I never lock the door on the house, often times leave the keys in the car at the store, never take them out at home, etc. Sure, we have out bad eggs just like everywhere, but it's not the cut throat lifestyle like on either side of the country. I've traveled all over this country and take my word for it, country people in the Midwest still know what manners are unlike the Northeast (Boston, NY, etc). As far as spirtually, in this town of 13,700 people, at last count there were 19 churches, not including the ones in the country. If you want to experience the simple life, there's plenty of Amish communities where you can find more non-materialistic living than you can stand. You'd be surprised how many non-Amish there are who don't have TV's...not because they can't afford them, but because they don't like the intrusion. There is an extremely large number of people who are volunteer fireman...no pay and no glory but they get satisfaction from doing a community service. Two years ago a tornado grazed my farm and killed four people, two right next door. Local construction firms came in to clear debris at their own expense. Christian groups came in and with the help of local school officials, provided meals at the school for those without electricity (like me) or the more unfortunate that didn't have homes left. The school excused our kids from class for a couple of days to help clean up debris, teaching them a very valuable lesson. You might want to look around this country and meet people who have goals that are other than fame, power and fortune before you "Throw the baby out with the bathwater".

Hmmmmm, BYE!

Thank you! No you're not the only one who wants to get out, Im leaving in a few months actually because of what you said, yeah you may be able to have nice things here but it is nothing compared to what one may lack here.

We love America and knew there is a lot of beauty and good out there, so we decided to go find it. We sold the house, gave away the furniture and a lot more. We bought a used travel trailer and pickup truck. We have been "living on the road" seeing the country for 10 years now and love it! We tell people, "We don't have Real Estate, we have Wheel Estate"! If we don't like the weather, the neighbors, or get tired of the scenery, we move! Now, before all you "ecconuts" get your bowels in an uproar about our lifestyle, let me clue you in on a few FACTS. We don't move around constantly sucking up fuel while polluting our air. We stay in each place up to as long as 6 months at a time. Our "carbon footprint" is smaller, MUCH SMALLER, than it was when we had a "house" and drove back and forth to work each day. We use far less water and electricity and have1/10 the space to keep warm in winter and cool in summer. We spend the winters in Arizona and summer on the coast of Washington and Oregon. We have met and stayed in contact with some of the most wonderful people we have ever met! This is a WONDERFUL country! Can't disagree one bit with those who say it is being DISTROYED by those who don't care about the Constitution and those who don't understand WHY we have immagration laws. Our "elected officials" now and in the past and the voter that put them in there are who I hold responsibl and am VERY angry with! Maybe, in your vacation time, you can tour America and find some little out of the way place you like and live a simpler life "away from it all". It ALL depends on how you look at it!

I know nearly 100% of the people in this Country is going to disagree with this but hey I'm not on Yahoo for votes or numbers those things are not important to me. But I believe in a World where people should be able to come and go as they please not being tied to some Rope or Mother may I. I guess this whole World got the wrong ideal of what Freedom really means. Free means Free no matter now you cut it. How can anyone in their right mind think that life is better in America when your life is on a rope that is tied to your Government's hand. If I'm dating someone from another Country the Government should not have any say so of if the person I Love can come into this Country or not. It is good to know that Governments in other parts of the World don't think like the American Government. Many people like myself want to get out and enjoy other parts of the World and I'm sure they are like myself would like to do this without anything holding them back or making it hard on them. I have heard many people say from other Countries like Germany that it is easier for me to come to their Country than it is for them to come to the U.S. I think this should tell many people something in this Country. But we live in a World where everyone want to control someone and boss someone to the people of America is really living their life like this and shouldn't. Author, Eddie Smith.

All I can say is, maybe you're living in the wrong part of the US. If you live on the east or west coasts, then I can see why you're so dis-illusioned. You need to come to the smaller towns in the Midwest. I never lock the door on the house, often times leave the keys in the car at the store, never take them out at home, etc. Sure, we have out bad eggs just like everywhere, but it's not the cut throat lifestyle like on either side of the country. I've traveled all over this country and take my word for it, country people in the Midwest still know what manners are unlike the Northeast (Boston, NY, etc). As far as spirtually, in this town of 13,700 people, at last count there were 19 churches, not including the ones in the country. If you want to experience the simple life, there's plenty of Amish communities where you can find more non-materialistic living than you can stand. You'd be surprised how many non-Amish there are who don't have TV's...not because they can't afford them, but because they don't like the intrusion. There is an extremely large number of people who are volunteer fireman...no pay and no glory but they get satisfaction from doing a community service. Two years ago a tornado grazed my farm and killed four people, two right next door. Local construction firms came in to clear debris at their own expense. Christian groups came in and with the help of local school officials, provided meals at the school for those without electricity (like me) or the more unfortunate that didn't have homes left. The school excused our kids from class for a couple of days to help clean up debris, teaching them a very valuable lesson. You might want to look around this country and meet people who have goals that are other than fame, power and fortune before you "Throw the baby out with the bathwater".

Thank you! No you're not the only one who wants to get out, Im leaving in a few months actually because of what you said, yeah you may be able to have nice things here but it is nothing compared to what one may lack here.

Maybe b/ca these black men don't buy into the stereotypes or maybe b/ca they do. What I'm saying is: Not all white women are like what you described. Maybe these black men see more than the superficial things that you've seen or maybe these black men buy into that whole 'promiscuity' thing and want these women b/ca they're easy. A woman is a woman and a man is a man. No one should prejudge anyone. You miss out.
