  • do you think it is more difficult for actors to act?

    when they do not get to speak. for instance in much of the movie castaway with tom hanks he is silent, and in the movie "the bellboy" with jerry lewis his bellboy character never speaks. i think that this kind of acting requires much more talent because it eliminates the actors main tool, the voice. the actor has no lines to remember no way to put the proper inflection or emphasis on a word they have only the body with which to purvey all of what they are trying to get across. what do you think?

  • do dems understand the difference?

    the difference i am referring to is the difference between a budget surplus and actually eliminating the national debt and having an actual monetary government surplus. i ask because i see so many of them on here who seem to some how believe that Bill Clinton pulled us out of debt and then created a cash surplus on top of that. do you understand that we simply had a budget surplus. we also had a budget surplus under GHWB. can any one tell me what the difference is? i bet not.

  • who is the toughest quarter back to ever play in the NFl?

    we know of Brett Favre and Steve McNair playing through injuries, we have seen Donovan McNabb playing while sick and puking between plays, we have seen the famous run by Steve young breaking tackles on his way to the end zone, we have seen some of the amazing plays and tough hits taken by warren moon, we have even seen Randall Cunningham slough tackles and make great throws many of us remember Joe Montana dislocating his throwing shoulder and playing the rest of the game throwing only short dump and swing passes and hand offs. so who was the toughest iron man to play quarter back. one of these or someone i have missed? cant wait to see the answers i get.

  • how do we win a war?......?

    i am not speaking of any particular war what i am asking is i guess a multiple layer question. 1 when all of the diplomacy and all the political maneuvering and sanctions have failed what do you do?

    2 when the only option left is war how do you fight that war, what is your strategy to win? is it a PC war where no civilians die or is a sweep and clear mission hoping that the citizens of the country will force their leaders to surrender.

    3 when the war is over do you pull out or rebuild and help the new government form.

    this is more of question of strategy than politics. but i will admit i have a political agenda as a motivation for the question.

  • am i the only person who would like to see Chad Johnson and his brother Calvin play for the same team?

    Not sure why there is not more talk about this. yes it is true projected #1 overall pick in the NFL draft WR Calvin Johnson is none other than the baby brother of ocho cinco. am i the only one who thinks they could be the greatest receiving tandem in history if they ended up on the same team. especially the bengels with carson tossing the ball their way.

  • are liberals able to make intelligent arguments.?

    i ask this because of a wonderful quote i heard the other day. not sure who said it first but i have watched it come true time and time again on here. "in the absence of reason intellect and evidence the last rallying cry of the democrat is to resort to screaming and name calling.' i have noticed a trend on here that when presented with a fact based argument liberals simply say things like "cons are stupid" or "your an idiot' or "bush is stupid" or "bush is a retard." honestly can you please just make an intelligent argument when you attempt to answer question. now i will say that there are a couple of you on here who actually seem to be educated and well versed.

  • what has happened to the "rock" music of today?

    the list of crap that is called rock these days is shocking. we have Emo stinking up our airways, with songs about nothing, no talent actually required to play their instruments. we are heading into a time when cheap theatrics is replacing actual musical talent. band like fall out boy and panic at the disco whining about how their GF lest them and their life is not worth living or whatever, it seems that every day that passes some new emo crybaby song hits the radio and the shelves at the record store and it is passed off as rock music. what happened to the days of dimebag, and Vinnie. the days of grunge where while the lyrics were not always the best they were about the music. even punk rock has gone to crap. some of the old legends are selling there soul to make a buck. what happened to making music that said something and required actual talent to play. where has it all gone?

  • Have we forgotten the lessons of our fathers? Amazing quotes from the past....?

    here they are tell me what you think " ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" JFK "the most frightening words you will ever hear are, I am from the government i am here to help" RR "The reasonable man looks at his surroundings and conforms himself to fit them, the unreasonable man looks at his surroundings and conforms his surrounding to fit himself, therefore the future of the free world depends on the unreasonable man" cant remember who said that. "Beer is proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy" Ben Franklin. "A society shall be judged upon how they treat the lowest of them." cant remember either. any more good ones are very welcome. please give me your feed back on these.
