His appetite seems to be fine. I hope to get him to the vet soon. I just want to make sure he survives until then.

"McCandless went into the wilderness not primarily to ponder nature or the world at large but, rather, to explore the inner country of his own soul."

Of course since the campaign has started there has been a lot of negative propaganda on all the candidates. But, I keep seeing examples of Obama not participating in pledges to the flag and not singing along with the national anthem. The video that was posted on here earlier is just one example. But, there's a couple that show him actually turning his back on the flag during the anthem. I'm extremely uncomfortable with the idea of the American president NOT pledging allegience to our flag. Like I said, I respect the man, I even voted for him in 04, I do like him as a senator. He's intelligent, articulate, and has some great ideas, but it bother's me very much to watch his reactions to the American tradition of pledging allegience. Does this bother you at all? Would having a president who isn't paying allegience to our country and flag be wise?

I am aware the Ninjai Gang has been working on another project called Karma Kula. I was just curious if anybody knew anything about their Ninjai series...

Reading some of the statements made here in the Politics section it's come to my attention that some people believe because America is the richest nation in the world that there's no poverty here. I can assume that those people are American because they say "we" when they talk about the US. So I guess my real question is What planet are you from? Who here is so ignorant to say there's no poverty in the US? And if you do truly believe that, what exactly are your reasons for saying so? Do you choose to turn a blind eye to the homeless and hungry people that live here in the United States? Or do you believe that there isn't any?

Will we be remembered as the people that made their lives even more hellish than they already? Watch this...

This is horrible... there's no excuse for us to be conducting ourselves like this.... HORRIBLE!!!!!

Try defending this Republicans... just try...

It's Thanksgiving. Huzzah. It's this time of the year again that we all find it customary to sit back, reflect on the years past, and count the many, many blessings given us by the good Lord.

Whatever is there to be more thankful for than the righteous morals and values upon which this great country was founded? These values serving to this day as a moral lighthouse beaconing to the huddled masses of the world. These high-minded individuals, seeking religious tolerance and arguably a good slice of pie, blazed the path leading to today's prosperity and equality. But they did not do it alone. Striking a sound and sturdy relationship with the Indians, they learned from each other and worked as one toward a, um .. common goal, proving once again that camaraderie and fellowship overcome even the greatest adversity.

Let's hear some educated answers people... cop outs like, "they can't form logical thoughts" that's not a real answer, you can say that about anyone... what is it about democratic and liberal beliefs that generate so much disdain amongst conservatives? It seriously seems to make you so angry you can hardly spit out an answer that makes sense unless it's a run of the mill insult. So, think about your answer for a minute before giving one. Let's hear it.

In 30 years we won't be having wars over oil. We'll be having them over water...

When I express this opinion I'm told by Conservatives and Republicans, to get educated and get a real job. I have an education and I'm doing a job I absolutely love. Why do people automatically assume that I'm some highschool dropout because I support a minimum wage increase?

First they put away the dealers, keep our kids safe and off the streets. Then they put away the prostitutes, keep married men cloistered at home. Then they shooed away the bums, and they beat and bashed the queers, turned asylum seekers, fed us suspicion and fears. We didn't raise our voice, we didn't make a fuss. It's funny there was no one left to notice when they came for us.

Looks like witches are in season, you better fly your flag and be aware of anyone who might fit the description. Diversity is now our biggest fear. Now with our conversations tapped and our differences exposed, how are we supposed to love our neighbors with our minds and curtains closed. We still worry about Big Brother, Now we got a big father and an even bigger mother.

And you still believe this aristocracy gives a **** about you. They put the "mock" in democracy and you swallowed every hook.

Who was actually happy with the way things were going? Who's happy with this war? Who's happy with this economy? Who didn't want things to change and why not? Why exactly did you feel things were so great? Just trying to see it from your point of view....

What is he doing to the politics forum?

It's obvious who's reporting the news and who has the political agenda.
