Israel. thats why they blow us up. They can hate us all they like because of our religion. Its our foreign policy that REALLY makes them hate us. We need to get the fuck out of the middle east, tell Israel they’re on their own, and spend the billions we waste on fighting “the war on terrorism” into becoming energy independent. Energy independence through biofuels would be such a great thing for this country on countless different levels. The fact that we’re not pushing this probably pisses me off more than anything about our government. ---

Pledging allegiance is a meaningless gesture. What exactly are you pledging allegiance to? the government? the people? what? Its pointless nationalism. Nationalism is evil.

Being in jail is fairly contradictory to freedom. And those people that rent ARE paying property taxes. You think landlords dont figure in the property taxes into the rent they charge? That is incorrect. If you do not pay your property taxes, your property will be seized and sold at a sheriffs sale. I KNEW you would pull that tired old line that renters pay property taxes. They do not. Landlords CANNOT figure in all of the property taxes into rent they charge becasue there are market forces at play that prevent them from doing so. I was once a landlord, so i know first hand. Different locations have different rates of taxation, so if a property owner tries to recoup a tax increase, his property may be vacated in favor of another property where they didnt raise the rent to cover property taxes. If you benefit from a service(like you have kids in school), then you should PAY for that! ---

Ok Darkstar, I may have gotten a little off topic, but think of it this way. How many terrorists try to attack in Texas? The terrorists attack their enemies, and often those who are wealthy, but weak. (Right now we are arguably both) If we had a bunch of badass Wyatt Earp looking mothers running around here, nobody would want to mess with us. We are a country of pansies, men raised by women, we are not that far off from France. We are the fattest nation in the world. I am beginning to hate us. It’s not just about Christianity, although that is a part of it. ---

If you do not pay your property taxes, your property will be seized and sold at a sheriffs sale. ! you have to be delinquent on your property taxes for a long while before that happens. after living in my house for 2yrs we got a letter saying taxes from 199somthing were not paid which were years before we moved in…we had title insurance so it didn’t effect us but still…my point is…property tax is not enforced as much as federal income tax & as far as seizing your property…if they want it…they will take it. i think eminent domain law was changed recenty in many states & yeah i know its has to do with taking your property for public use or the “public good”…but still … if they need it it will be taken. & the reason it was changed was because the law was being abused…no suprise there. ---

It’s not just about Christianity, although that is a part of it. right. The terrorists, who have the stomach to blow themselves up/fly planes into buildings are going to be scared off by a bunch of “Wyatt Earp looking mothers”. We have the most advanced military the world has ever known. We could vaporize every square inch of the middle east at the touch of a button. Intimidation is NOT a factor. They hate us because we support Israel. They may dislike us for other reasons, but they HATE us because of our mideast foreign policy.
