    Ok, fine.. Anyway I was out in Vegas recently and noticed that Celine is a permanent fixture there now. I was trying to figure out how the "Blue Man Group" was able to put on a show every night. A friend of mine out in Vegas told me that there were like 300 blue men, not just 3, so it there is a kinda "rotation" if you will.

    So I got to thinking (you know where I am going)... How does Celine do this stuff every night.. My God - NO - there are 300 Celines? ARgH!!!

    :eek:

    It's possible. Probably cloned by that guy on South Park who cloned the four-ass monkey.

    If there are 300 of her, you have to keep them all.

    Have you heard of the "Verichip" Mia? Do a search on that keyword to see your future. This is the way that the government will sort out so-called non-terrorists along with retina scans and biometric identification.

    Next think about John Ashcroft and his wanting to know each book that folks check out of the library and knowing what you view online.

    Did you not see that the government is now watching forums and chat rooms very close or did you miss that?

    You keep thinking it is comedy Mia, but I am serious as your next heart attack.

    :cool:

    Kicking back on Grandpa's old cough syrup are we, eh'?

    Start the holiday cheer a bit earily haven't we. Man, you need to relax. Don't be so paranoid. I've not seen anyone this paranoid since that Mexican bus boy I worked with in high school. The cooks at the Playboy Club go him so stoned he thought he was being chased by pink elephants...

    Ah, Orwell....

    there are some crazy headlines coming out of the states these days, so you can understand why people think were living in some crazy orwellian nightmare. but, aside from longer lines at the airport, the average citizen's life hasnt changed.

    Every country has their conspiracy theorists. AC is one of the US' many..... I don't blame him, it makes for some good read. The whole verichip idea is laughable though.

    AC - I was playing with you on the conspiracy part, the 'news' you link to is old. The technology is getting old now. I here in France that kind of chip is more popularly used than anywhere else?? Just heresay so I don't know if it true though.

    Anthony, you need to relax a little, the stress will only hurt you. I am sorry if I pushed you too hard with my last comment.

    AC buddy, there will always be room for you up here in the woods of Canada where you can hunt your own meals, live off the fat of the land and make the best preservative free beer in the world (no hangovers people).

    You are welcome to come on up and I will let you sleep on our covered deck. Sorry, room #2 is the office....

    Old news Debunked? I am not under stress, but I think you are when it comes to understanding current events and issues.

    They are already thinking about requiring all airline employees to get these ID and information chips implanted as security.

    It is in the current news, it is not old news as you say, come out of the smokescreen you live in Debunked because you are blinded by what is already in your mind.

    There is an old saying Debunked, it goes like this, you can learn more with your ears than you can with your mouth.

    That is what you really need to do, keep your ears open and your fingers off the keyboard, especially since you really do not have a grasp of issues and like to run off a lot.

    A cattle ranch doesn't work all that well unless the populace is lined up against the fence, consuming neatly in plain sight. I mean, we ARE cattle, right?

    Worse than Cattle, if we were smart we would simply demand that our lawmakers impeach Bush and his administration and put an end to the killing in the name of War and Oil dollars.

    Our soldiers are tired of Bush and Rumsfeld's lies and their line of bullshit and we need to put pressure on lawmakers and tell them that we are going to put them all in the unemployment line in the mid term elections if they do not get off their asses and demand change in this silly Bush policy that is bankrupting this nation and sending young folks to their deaths in a war that we can not win and that will never end until we pull out.

    We do not have the support of the nations of the world on this.

    Years ago my father left Canada for the vast opportunities available in our country that he could not find north of our border, nor could his parents find those opportunities in old Russia. Today, most of my relatives still live in Canada.

    I can tell you that Canadians harbor a lot of animosity and jealousy towards the U.S. Compared to other places in the world, everything comes easy to us. Geez, I remember hosting a family from the Ukraine for Thanksgiving and they were stunned by all of the food on the table. Super Wal Mart almost gave them a heart attack!

    Canada is a microcosm of what the world is moving towards - secularism and socialism. Nobody wants to offend anyone, and everyone should have equal access to opportunities (i.e. healthcare, etc). If you want to be in a 46% tax bracket and have to wait 6 months for surgery - then Canada just may be the place for you. Heck, marijuana will be legal there any month now.

    Canadians may harbor animosity and jealousy towards the U.S., but their entire economy would collapse if we cut our exports are added tariffs to our goods. If I remember correctly, Canada imports close to 60% of its goods from the U.S.

    As for the war, there is a much bigger picture to the war on terror than most people realize. Bush did not start this war because of oil, or any other material items. Like him or not, President Bush is a man with deep convictions and beliefs. His is not just a fight on terrorists - it's a fight for the civilized world.

    War is an ugly, horrible thing - and I do wish that our troops were safe at home on our own soil. But look at the alternative. THESE PEOPLE BLOW THEMSELVES UP FOR THEIR "CAUSE". They have Kalishnakovs and RPG's, but little food or education. They are raised to hate Western culture, especially the U.S. Why? Is it because we supply free food, medicine, and aid while their own leaders live in lavish palaces and their population suffers?

    In the U.S., we are a country of instant gratification (fast food, movies on demand, ATM's, you name it). That's why many people are frustrated with the war on terror - it didn't end within a week or two. Helping an oppressed country to realize a more free form of government is the first of many steps in eliminated this blind hatred on the part of these terrorists. While tolerance may be achieved sometime on our lifetime, it will be generations before any semblance of true peace is realized.

    President Bush realizes this. That's why he was willing to stick with his beliefs of a better future for the entire planet and risk losing the election. Like him or not, he is a man of conviction.

    Now, who wants to open the debate if we are on the road to The Rapture and the end of the world?

    Some Canadians, a vocal minority, may harbor animosity and jealousy, perhaps your relatives among them. However, you don't speak for Canada and neither do they.

    Excuse me? Have you been reading posts by Canadians here? We love offending people... look at Compar :D

    Yep. We have a government that loves the Democrats. With any luck, that will change.

    No it won't. It's being decriminalized, not legalized. That means that simple possession will get you a traffic ticket instead of a jail term. Growing and distributing pot will still get you a substantial jail term.

    And we export quite a bit of raw materials and power so the US can turn them into produicts to sell back to us -- symbiosis, pal. When it works, it works well.

    Our government may be hostile to you and yes there is a vocal faction that supports that attitude -- please don't paint all of us with the same brush or the same flawed logic.

    Great finish golf guy, that is too funny. Now you will have someone who I won't mention (AC) ramble off about tv evangelists and hosts on foxnews and how they have brainwashed you. LOL

    The rest of it has some point of views that may be off though, like Minstrel says, not all, just like the silent majority here in the US, we voted for Bush.
