I used to toss the Sun fish to my golden. Does that make me a Sociopath?

It is of course an error of logic to take one set of expressed data and project it globally.

Tossing live animals to another animal to play with does not necessarily mean one is a sociopath, Killing an animal for no purpose other than pleasure is not the action of a normal person. Throwing an animal to another animal to watch the other animal kill it, is not the action of a sane person.

Was the fish an endangered species? That would seem rather fitting considering his personality.

I've already stated how much I dislike Hillary Klinton and why.Bush has been a disappointment in many ways,though I'd stick with him given that choice.

thank goodness we can clean house every 4 or 8 years and elect yet another disappointment.

Many Repubs are not acting like Repubs these days,they spend money the same,nanny the same....but I prefere them over any Ted Kennedy,Al Gore and most of all...a Klinton.

as much as Carter was a letdown...and I was just a kid then,at least he seems a little down to Earth in some ways,and generally refrains from bad mouthing current politics.

where are thet everyday,yet intelligent and capable people anymore to be president?...the kind that do a civic duty then return to private life and actually produce afterward,not just getting paid for speeches or becoming a token professor at some college....

[quote=nhyrnut;374824]Education should always be funded this is 1 area that should never be affected. But I must admit I do believe teachers to be overpaid. Except for the new to field teachers.QUOTE]

I've really been enjoying this thread. Much humor, good debate.... but this statement needs a thread of its own. I'd probably be cited for suggesting what I would call it, so will leave it to the imagination. How do you figure that teachers are overpaid?!

For those of who say you can't spend w/o raising taxes, your just wrong. You can reduce the size of the government and stop making people so dependent on government for help. We can reduce welfare, stop giving into unions of government workers(ie teachers), and decrease spending on social programs in general. Hillary is too liberal and does not believe that people can be independent. I believe in hard work and independence and don't need the government to write me a pay check and pay for my health care. Although Bush isn't the most popular guy, I would vote for him over Hillary anyday.

If you were able to hear all the good verses the bad that's going on in Iraq we should try to have hope for Iraq and Afganstian and support the time they have been given to pull a third world country together.
That is because 90% of the national media is liberal.

How come nobody talks about the fact that Mr. Bush is not even remotely addressing the debt he has built up?
I see that you missed the state of the union. He believes the budget can be balanced in 5 years. Don't know how true that is but he did mention it.
