Oh my theres so much debate and long pages of replies to go over I'm just going to skip it and say something small and basic and say I wish I could've gone to the inauguration. Was really historic :vsign:

Colin, you have your 25 posts now. You no longer need to respond to every thread.

And just out of curiosity what problem do you have with me trying to get active?

I was enjoying myself trying to get active in the forum but I didn't really feel the forum love with your comment :/

There is nothing wrong with being active if you are contributing.

Post like:

make me think you are just burning to get to 25. If I was wrong then I apologize.

I had nothing to contribute to your debate. Not the topic as a whole.

I probably should've used the word "debate" en lieu of the word "discussion" in my original post.

Fluffy it does not matter who you voted for as long as you voted (I thank you for that btw) because that in its self shows some hope. Accountablity, I have been screaming about that for years which mainly falls on deaf ears with people staring blankly at me and saying it Al Queda fault right. I thank you for your opinion and i do vaule it. But for a long while i was negaitive about things in this country. Hell i got up and left and went to europe for a while just for a change of scenery. Like i stated i am not bashing anyone for their views i welcome healthy debates because in essence its because of this country that we allowed to have this type of discussion. It was just moving at least (not all will feel the same way) for me to see so many people have hope in their eyes that things will get better and be amoung them. We have a long way to go and and one person alone will not fix the problems in this country so we can move forward.

One thing i want to see is more benefits for our soliders. Our soldiers should never have to return home after fighting and worry about weather or not they will have health care or have a job.

I agree with every word you said about the free marketeers i am was and still am very disgusted with them and just Wallstreet in general. The surge in Iraq cost me an uncle and cousin and civilians like you and i. Beleive me i know but i dont want to get into that its another topic for another time.

Are you under the impression im blinded by the light? forgive the corny refrence.:D

sort good Sinestra
 

I'm presently using my G.I. Bill for continuing my education and I have hope
that I will spend this summer sailing and being a bum off the coast of Mexico in the Sea of Cortez near Punta Baja on my piece off *hit 33ft Hans Christian
with a limp rubberband motor. I hoist a cerveza too u dude!
peace out!

the more things change the more they stay the same

Where did that come from?
