virtu,
I'm afraid that you are blindly following your leader like some of the people in communism, and believe me I KNOW. I was brought up in that environment and fought with it my whole life mate. There are so many things you are unable to apprehend (with no fault of yours) since the media is highly censored in US., you are just unable to see it clearly.
Second, the way Bush became a president is very questionable. He ended up being elected through frauds and certainly not by the people but by the 'oil' bunch of guys at Electoral College. The popularity vote has no meaning at all judging by this. So where's the democracy, where's the right to vote or these are just a couple of words written in some book that stopped meaning anything after being called upon so many times.
Finally, it's not the world who's going to punish the evil doers, it's God, who's name is shamelessly pronounced after doing so many bad things. I am sorry but in essence I cannot trust a nation and their 'human' intentions when its citizens go and use drugs, annihilate themselves with 10 cent drinks on Fridays & Saturdays, 15 year old girls sleep with everyone and after all this they go to church on Sunday like they are saints.
And please do not start with that thing about who doesn't like US can leave, since there many reasons why certain people came to US and if that's the case then you are actually showing the real face of non-democratic society. I came to US to perfect myself personally and to enjoy the company of about 50% of Americans that I'm proud of considering my friends and human beings.
There's still hope for this great nation.

"until the philosophy that holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, there will be war.
until the colour of a man's skin is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes, there will be war.
and until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship and the rule of world equality will be persued, but never attained. every where war."
these words are prophesy and we know these words are true. and they came out of the mouth of Rastafari.
*words His Imperial Majesty Emperor Halle Salassie I the First spoke to the United Nations in 1964*
[he was later exiled to london and later killed]
when a Rasta praises Jah Rastafari he is speaking Salassie's name.
Salassie was born RA TAFAR I.
which means God, the People, I. and took the name Halle Salassie I after he was crowned king of ethiopia in 1930.

I could stomach it more if George Bush was elected president.
Unfortunately he was not, he stole the election and was appointed. As paybacks for his appointment he in turn appointed the children of two of the supreme court justices to head two of this countries national departments.
George Bush is an oppurtunist and he is good at it. I will give him credit there.
His cavalier attitude towards war is disgusting and immature. His analogies to the war reference games...war is not a game, the analogy is offensive and ill-concieved.
The world can live without the US, it had done so for thousands of years before we placed oursevles on the map and will continue to do so if we shall fall.
The US on the other hand can't survive without the broad spectrum of relationships that have brought us to power.
In all likliehood our appointed leader understands that, and can't escape his own ego to admit he may be wrong.

how fucked up is this:
Capt Richard Compton a US army champlain, has been handing out bibles emblazoned with the image of a human skull and bat wings, and in meetings with officers encourages to "strike and kill"
Compton, assigned with the "widowmakers" combat battalion of the legendary 101st airborne division, admits his use of the skull and batwings can look inapropriate. But he says it is important soldiers understand that killing enemy troops in a justified war is consistent with being a good christian"

Everyone is entitled to their own thoughts and opinions no matter where you live. Some of us are allowed to speak our minds openly and others must keep their thoughts to themselves, but regardless we all bleed red, we all live and we all die, and we all share this planet together, so we are all in this together.
On another note:
"virtu works at DNA Studio, so it seems.... so I'd be careful to presume he is backwards, friends.."
So what you are saying 4cY if I get you correctly is that because virtu works at DNA we should be watch what we are saying? Seriously. Wow. Ridiculous.

mrdobolina,
I was refering to discounts that clubs use to attract people on Fridays and Saturdays. They lower the prices to 10 cents per drink in order to get more people. That's only until 10-11pm after which it becomes more expensive. At least is in Arizona.

from America, America
translated from the Arabic by Khaled MattawaI too love jeans and jazz and Treasure Island
and John Silver's parrot and the balconies of New Orleans.
I love Mark Twain and the Mississippi steamboats and Abraham Lincoln's dogs.
I love the fields of wheat and corn and the smell of Virginia tobacco.
But I am not American.Is that enough for the Phantom pilot to turn me back to the stone age?
. . .
America:
let's exchange gifts. Take your smuggled cigarettes and give us potatoes.
Take James Bond's golden pistol
and give us Marilyn Monroe's giggle.
Take the heroin syringe under the tree and give us vaccines.
Take your blueprints for model penitentiaries and give us village homes.
Take the books of your missionaries and give us paper for poems to defame you.
Take what you do not have
and give us what we have.
Take the stripes of your flag
and give us the stars.
Take the Afghani Mujahideen beard and give us Walt Whitman's beard filled with butterflies.
Take Saddam Hussein
and give us Abraham Lincoln
or give us no one.. . .
We are not hostages, America
and your soldiers are not God's soldiers ...
We are the poor ones, ours is the earth of the drowned gods,the gods of bulls
the gods of fires
the gods of sorrows that intertwine clay and
blood in a song...
We are the poor, ours is the god of the poor
who emerges out of farmers' ribs
hungry
and bright,
and raises heads up high...America, we are the dead.
Let your soldiers come.
Whoever kills a man, let him resurrect him.
We are the drowned ones, dear lady.
We are the drowned.
Let the water come.- Saadi Youssef
