Than answers it, glad I could clear that up for you WerBurN[/b]

if you havent noticed yet, some people refer to me as 'him, boy, guy, his, etc.' while others go with 'her, girl, hers, etc.' ...generally it depends on how well they know me, but i try to be as ambiguous as possible in real life...i generally do a worse job of it online tho...

leading the other boys to decide i must be, in fact, gay...[/b]

If they thought you were a gay, you cant be a girl! pwned

WerBurN is Pat!

Hehehehehe...

Since he has the same avatar too, I will assume you are Pat as well...


Anyway, I just saw this film(for the 4th time) yesterday and realized that there is something that really really pisses me off. It is a very long long topic so I will just post the jist of it and have you do the reasoning.

One of the points that was emphasized was the one of the 6 year old kid that shot another girl her age. One of the posible causes of this is that his mother is forced to take a bus and work all day in another town, in order to get the Welfare. They are taking one parent families and striping the kids from the only parent they have.

This isn't what bothers me the most. What bothers me the most is that they force these people to work and break up a family so that rich people can be served, and at the same time the U.S. spends billions and billions of dollars destroying and rebuilding countries at its pleasure. They go into wars that the people do not want, that they do not ask for, and spend that money to kill others, when they should have been using it to save their own, to give them a good life and help the needy. If those billions of dollars where invested in the country itself, the economy would prosper and all would live well...

It's just illogical. Governments arose to represent the people, but now they are an entity of their own. They do as they wish. They are corrupt and do not work to serve the people, but rather serve themselves. Not only that, but they are power hungry and think they know what's best for the world.

Once again we are presented with the saying: "Want to improve the world, start in your own backyard"...

thats a really good point truthbearer, and i think the U.S. government spends

schools: about $800,000

warfare: about $30,000,000,000 (i cant remember how many 0's there are in this figure)

yay for america and its infinite wisdom on peace + prospering...


i've been watching full metal jacket now for the last hour and a half, funny as hell! i feel more tired than violent though

I don't only mean in education, but in being able to give welfare to people that need it, without them having to travel miles and miles away, and leave their children unaccounted for, in order to recieve this. The investment must be made on all fields and the profit will be unmeasurable(I don't only mean economically)
