Yeah but when people use the same reasoning regarding Catholic Church and the pedophile priests most of the people on this board don't buy it.

Was going to post this in the humor forum, but the got to thinking . . . . . .
They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq.
Why don't we just give them ours?
It was written by a lot of really smart guys!
It's worked for over 200 years and we're not using it anymore.

Last post of HIS I can find, it was about Bush, Aug. 30, 2005:
MALLY SAID:<article>
<aside>
Merlin I am not insulting anyone. Sorry. But when I see this kind of stuff it just supports my opinion. I just cant see how when you see stuff like that you can still support the man. It just baffles me.
</aside>
You're entitled to your opinions. I too am not pleased regarding many aspects of this President's performance. However, you will find that you get along a lot better on this board if you include a substantial degree of specificity in your posts. Your opening post amounted to little more than grafitti because the only thing you did was belittle the President and criticize other members for supporting him.
If you want others to take your posts seriously, document those particular areas in which you find shortcomings and provide links as appropriate. We've heard all of the "Bush is a liar" or "Bush is stupid" crap that we can stand and we'd like it to go away.

This hits hard; Somebody let Ben's wife know she and her family are in our prayers and hearts.

I found the message line tonight and have been here crying and smiling.I am so touched at all the wonderful things people had to say about Ben. He was a special person and after 34 years with him, there is a tremendous void. He enjoyed all the time that he spent with his message friends. I would love to know where the photo was found. I don't think I have seen it before and love it. Thank you for caring for my husband.
