My point WAS that given the hostile situation in Iraq, and the numerous innocents being killed every day there, not to mention the fact that we are currently engaged in a war there, that perhaps it should take a little precedent or garner appropriate attention over another issue, like Burma. Burma’s situation is bad, and I totally hope that we do something, but I think that we need to take care of the shit we stirred up in Iraq before we start spreading out our already thinning military. Jeez, you can’t win with people like you, you condemn me for wanting us to leave Iraq, and then the second the president dangles something shiny in your face, you get distracted and want to focus on something else. You are a prime example of how this administration has done such a good job of being deceptive; you follow every distraction without question.

My point, that you missed (surprise), was that we have no business lecturing the world about human rights when we don’t even practice what we preach. That’s called hypocrisy, and that is what this speech was.

And as you may heard, there’s apparently no gay people in Iran, so I was thinking you could serve as a cultural attache of sorts for our community. If you can survive under the oppressive thumb of the Bush Adminstration, then certainly you can tolerate Ahmadinejad’s “quirks.”

Joey, we have a joint account. I am not mad that he bought it, I am upset that he bought it the same week that he complained about not being able to afford the mortgage. There is more than I have said here in this rant.

You may want to consider opening a joint account. It will eliminate any kind of a “well I paid this..” or “I paid for that” mentality. And then out of that, set aside two equal frivolity funds. One for you.. and one for him. Have the same amount moved to each one every month. And then when you go out and indulge yourselves, you can rest assured that one of you isn’t putting putting your needs above the other. Make sure to allocate the right amount that will keep your shopping bug under control but isn’t impairing your ability to pay the bills or continue to save. And if you want something that is outside of the budget.. or the fund can’t pay monthly… don’t get it. Problem solved.

If James is so weird with money as you’ve expressed in the past..and you’re concerned about what he’s spending, commit yourself to a rigid budget, and make him do the exact same thing. That way you’re not making him do something that you aren’t willing to do as well.

you would receive no fair trial, have no lawyer to represent you, you would simply be put in jail, for daring to voice criticism of the government.

yet here in the us, you can have a blog where you express in some of the most foul language your disdain for political leaders in the united states.

how can you claim any kind of relativism with the us and the regimes the president singled out?

do you really think you could express these opinions about kim jong il if you lived in north korea?

oh and i don’t think the millions of burmese who have lived under military repression for 15 years would consider the president’s public support of their cause to be “out of left field.”
