FROM INDIA VIA URANUS I’M GOING TO INDIA TO ‘FIND MYSELF’ The concept of trying to 'find oneself' is not a new phenomenon, but every other person I seem to meet recently seems to have traveled to the East for the purpose of being ‘enlightened’. Now, whilst this is a tolerable activity for anyone under twenty-five, it’s all a bit sickening in the middle aged middle class. "What do you mean by enlightened" I asked a recently India’d up chum. "Well", he replied, " You get such a sense of perspective when you’re there. Seeing the poverty in India really makes you count your blessings." "So how does that enlighten you?" " The people there have nothing in terms of material belongings yet they seem so rich spiritually." he replied. "Oh right." I said. At that point I knew I was onto a loser. Call me cynical, but all this sounds horribly like the worst type of voyeurism . The sort in which ‘seekers of truth’ and ‘finders of themselves’ cough up the air fare for the privilege of observing people in dire, heartbreaking deprivation for the sole purpose of reminding themselves that their own life’s not so bad after all. Maybe that shitty job and glass ceiling seem more bearable by comparison. Attributing this misery management to a more ‘spiritual’ culture is simply a way of making the horrors seem palatable thus legitimizing the token armchair concern and predictable inaction. FASHION AT ITS SICKEST What is also so reprehensible about this mythical notion of the ‘spiritual east’ is that it’s trend driven…fashion masquerading as personal growth. I want to shake these self indulgent tourists (for let’s not pretend they’re anything else), by the scruff of their souvenir sari’s and remind them that misery and deprivation isn’t exclusive to India and it’s not only Buddhists and Hindu’s who are faced with daily hardship. All over the planet people of different faiths struggle for minute to minute survival, but I guess you don’t such a nice tan touring orphanages in Romania - and they don't serve curry either! DISHONESTY This is a postscript especially for any miffed India returnees. Look just be honest for a moment folks and stop pretending your trip to India has been anything more than a cheap holiday in the sun. Yes, some of the sights may have made you squirm and feel uncomfortable about your comparative wealth, but unless it’s caused you to make any significant changes in your life then it’s hardly had a profound effect on you has it? Real giving and fostering authentic growth isn’t as easy as boarding a ‘plane and is likely to require rather a larger sacrifice than queuing in customs for duty free Henna. It will demand your time, effort and commitment and if you aren’t willing to give that then you don’t really want to change. You just want to give that impression to your over privileged pals, so you can momentarily take the moral highground next time you meet at the wine bar. So, cut the bull and get real with yourself and stick your pretentious ramblings up your arse - but a word of warning; you may have to remove your own head first!

Dear Chickenman, Interesting reading, your view of things in NZ.Sounds exactly the same as things in UK.It doesn't matter whether politicians call themselves left,right or centre or even loony party (which we have had) they are all the same and have the same intentions. That is:- to serve their own interests. Our governing party at the moment is the Labour party. Supposedly a left wing group.Hah!They send their kids to private schools, drive flash cars, mix with snotty financier type wheeler-dealers. Are you surprised they come out with the same ideas as right wing party types! Politicians are politicians. They are all the same, and the subject uppermost in their minds is NOT you.You'll never change human nature (read George Orwell's Animal Farm).Get your head down, mate and just do things the way you want to. Life is too short!

FEFCO- stands for Far East Furniture Company-buy from them but proceed with caution. Very good prices on oriental furniture but if you pay for an out of state delivery, it will come - when it is convenient for them. We gave them months notice that we were going to move into our new home in FL at the end of October 2003. No problem said manager Jenny Chen. Pay $250. for delivery (from NC) and we'll take care of it. But when delivery time came, it was not convenient for them to deliver to us. So we lived out of suitcases (bedroom furniture) for six (6) weeks until it was convenient for them to deliver. As to Customer Relations, when we complained that we were told that at the time of sale, timely delivery was no issue, Jennny Chen's response was simple - hang up the phone. Well she hung up politely and didn't slam it down. FEFCO of Hickory, NC is a good company to order furniture from but beware that out of state delivery is on their terms!!!!! Yeh, you're right, that sucks.

I am tired of certain people trying to remove God and his rules from our country. I'm tired of the aclu and other people trying to tell the government what to do, especially where the ten commandments are concerned. God created this world and someday, he will destroy it. If you don't like God, then go to another country and quit trying to kick him out. Also, I am tired of our teenagers looking sloppy and looking like hoodlums. What's wrong with these parents who like them follow the trend. I think school kids should wear uniforms so that everyone will look alike and be able to concentrate in school.Discipline has gone by the wayside. I feel sorry for the teachers today. They deserve better pay for what they put up with in school.

I just can't believe how stupid people are, all over the world (that must be an uncommon way to start!). Take Israel and Palestine, for example. So many people there are just trying to keep their heads down and go about their daily lives, and it's all being f*cked up by a small group of extremists on both sides. And there are supposedly politicians on both sides trying to work for peace, but each insists that their "reasonable" demands have to be met before they'll make any concessions. Two solutions occur... 1) all out war until there's only one side left, then they can turn on each other. 2) settle the f*ck down already! Leave it for a couple of generations, intermarry, and let your kids sort it out. Then there's good old George Bush. 10 million odd pounds spent on security for his visit to London. Does he not get the feeling that maybe he's not welcome? I heard his secret service detail want the English to close down central London for the three days he's there, so there won't be any protestors near him. What makes them think they have this right? Even if he did need to be shielded from the protests (and that's a big if... harden up George! When you send your armies to bomb other countries, people might not like you!), there's still no call to put the whole place out of business so he can have a cosy chat with Blair. When he skipped New Zealand on his pacific tour a few months back, everyone here was all "oh, he doesn't want to visit us, we won't get a free trade deal...", but I was just happy. He would have wanted the whole country closed down! Which brings me to Iraq. Twenty years Saddam Hussein's been torturing and murdering, during which time he was sometimes useful to the USA, and sometimes an embarassment. Now the climate was right to remove him, and they finally have done, and they give all these reasons, a different one each week, but the one they've settled on for now is that he was a monster and he needed to be stopped. Well, no $hit! When has that not been true? And when I complain about how it was probably just for the oil, I get people telling me that I must have liked Saddam Hussein. I never liked what he did, but invasion cannot have been the most effective way of getting rid of him. Why didn't they just have the CIA assassinate him? Isn't that how the USA normally deals with foreign leaders they don't like? And now for some domestic griping. Here in NZ we tend to have one or at msot two papers per city, and they're all owned by rich old white men, i.e. conservatives. For many years, right wing and right-leaning governments in NZ have been gradually lessening the effectiveness of the public health system to "encourage" people to use private healthcare, and these news barons have been applauding these moves. Apparently private sector ownership increases effectiveness, we've been told for decades. Now the public system is crap, people are dying on waiting lists, and these papers are full of articles about how bad it is, and how we should blame the current (leftish-middle) government. Goddamn! These are the people who benefitted most from the madness of the 80's and early 90's! Speaking of which, perhaps someone can explain this to me. If you privatise Universities (Colleges, for any American readers), they now have to compete with each other, which is supposed to make them lower prices, or become more efficient in other ways in order to "win". But it also means they have to spend large amounts of money on advertising, branding, and other marketing activities. Is there really a net benefit? If so, why are University fees going up in NZ? Well, I've vented my spleen. I feel a whole lot better. Thanks.

dear uiuc student. Don't you worry.. It will get better, but then you will sell your soul to the world of big corporations and your spirit will wilt and die. YOu will no longer be passionate about such things as useless activities as they will become your world. There are ony 2 options on how to remain sane durring the next 40+ years. Participate in subversive unamerican activities such as smoking large amounts of marijuana and doing acid in your spare time while being a weekday slave to the dollar, or become a bum and utterlt untracable. I suggest the "HJ by day swingkid by night" approach.

Dear GoGo, I have an answer to the poverty problem! If we exterminate all the poor people (and let's face it; they are usually scruffy, uneducated pieces of shit anyway) then we would only have rich people left in the world and everything would be just great 'coz we would all get on because we would have something in common( Oh! how I hate that word. It applies to poor people, doesn't it?) Problem solved, Gogo.

Screw the sun! I really HATE it!!! On most days it's too damn hot, on others it's not there enough to provide warmth, rarely is it jst right... but always is bright and annoying as it shines in your eyes!!! Isn't there some way we can block it out and provide nice flouresent lighting for the world - no annoying, retina scorching glare, sunbursts or what have you, just a nice even soft glow to illuminate your day. Oh, gawd how I hate the sun - it's really sucks. I leave for work and it's in my eyes, I leave work to go home and it is still in my eyes!!! I need to save money to move to the other side of town so I can leave for work and come home with the sun at my back both ways. Of course then the evil bastard will probably always shine at me in my mirrors. Which reminds me of how much I HATE mirrors! Evil noxious things that they are - always reflecting hte opposite of what I do as if in mimickery. The only thing worse than the sun and mirrors are mimes, and we don't have them in Ohio since Governor Taft had them all deported.

Forget the rubbish that baldness is hereditary. Anyone can regrow their hair and keep it. Nothing to buy: know the cause, know the cure. Science just plain blew it. I discovered The Cause of Baldness in April 1996 and have regrown more than 60% of the hair on my "bowling ball" head. Please read at http://www.getitback.us and tell others. You like being bald? Fine. I looked like a scrawny, forlorn chicken.

*The below was altered by the editor to replace the offenders name with Mr. X*

Hello, I sincerely hope this is not a racist site, because my comments may be conceived as such, but they are not. I scoured the web for a UK site where I could make these points and the last thing I wanted was to put them on a neo-nazi type site, cos that's not what I'm about. But here goes. I moved into a bedsit in Doncaster almost two years ago to take up a respectable, but relatively low paid job in the town. My landlord was very pleasant and he explained to me that asylum seekers would be renting other rooms in the house and I thought 'fine' . I had no problem with that. I have no grudge with anyone. So I signed the contract. A year passed. Life was fine and the rent was cheap and my landlord was no rip off merchant. But then it got bitter. There were already two asylum seekers living in the house. One Syrian and another Iraqi. They were and still are great lads that I get on well with. Intelligent and on my level. They are up for a laugh and seem like civil, normal people. Then, about 4 months ago, a Cuban bloke called Mr X moved in. After a few weeks my landlord said that he had had problems with him, but personally I had not had a run in with him. So life carried on, until one early morning incident, where Mr X was in the shower above my room for two hours and water began cascading through my ceiling. This happened again and again on a number of occasions. I complained and complained and complained. My landlord had signed up to a scheme with NASS (the asylum seeker support service) where the council would fill empty rooms with asylum seekers (which, once again, I have no problem with). Anyone can be an idiot, they don't have to be an asylum seeker. Anyway, on one day Mr X called me a 'CUNT' for complaining. So my landlord came out and told him to behave. To which Mr X replied 'Fuck you English cunt, you have no right, you are not my father, NASS owns this house you bastard'. No matter how much my landlord explained that he owned the house and that he rented rooms to NASS, Mr X lost his temper, raised his fist and said 'fuck you' punched the wall and then played loud music for the rest of the day. Since then, he has constantly made water leak through my ceiling, which I have since discovered is down to the fact that he does his laundry in the shower, and regularly called me, just to name a few choice phrases 'PUTA' 'SMELLY ENGLISH CUNT' 'MOTHER FUCKING CUNT LICKER' 'FAT BASTARD' 'CUNT" 'PISS ON YOU' "DIE CUNT'. Since then (all this time, I'm tied to a contract) and living here and minding my own business. My landlord had contacted the police and complained to NASS. Nothing was done. Nothing. And so it goes on. I'm sure if this was a British citzen behaving like this, I would either be entitled to compensation, or Mr X would have been removed. But this weekend it became ridiculous. (29/08/03) Friday night I was sat watching TV. Water was cascading through my ceiling. I went upstairs to the bathroom and said 'can you turn off the taps' water is coming into my room. To which the reply came 'fuck you' 'I need to get clean'. Half an hour later I knocked on Mr X's door and complained (he had prostitutes in his room at this time, by the way). And he ushered me away apoligising. Then the next day (saturday) he kicked my door for twenty minutes shouting 'YOU NO KNOCK ON MY DOOR EARLY MORNING CUNT' 'LAST TIME YOU DO THAT FUCKER I TELL NASS' 'FUCK YOU BASTARD' 'YOU DIE YOU DOU THAT AGAIN CUNT'. So, I spend the rest of my day scared to come out of my bedist. When I finally did, I popped to the local shop for food and when I came back, he had peed against my door. I rang my landlord, who refused to do anything other than suggest I ring the police. So I was forced to phone my parents who live 20 miles away, to stay at their house. It is Sunday night and I'm back in my flat. My hallway smells like fish (like a gents toilet) nothing has obviously been said to Mr X. It beggars belief. I am not a racist and I have nothing against asylum seekers. There are others that live here that I have no problem with. My argument is NOT a generalisation. There is one individual who is causing problems and when I complain, he just tells NASS that I'm fibbing. And he still gets his benefits and gets to stay in bed all day, while I go out to work. No doubt, after this weekend of sheer hell, where I've had hardly any sleep through (honestly) total fear, I'll get home from work tomorrow to the usual chants of 'Sme-l-l-ly eeeenglish Cunt' 'Fuck you english cunt'. All this is TRUE and if you want to contact me and advise me as to what I should do, (cos I've run out of options when my landlord and the police don't take any notice) please do. RING ME on 07981 3153047 or email gavpowers77@aol. (There's no guarantee normal mail would get to me, cos he steals mail too.) And I pay my taxes and vote Labour for this ????? Never again!

In 1996 a certain supposed humourous chick lit book was published called Bridget Jones' Diary. As my real name is Bridget I got 3 copies for that Christmas!? tried to read it and binned them all. They are not my cup of tea and not cerebral enough for me and I didnt find them at all humourous! that was ok and then the film came out!? and my life was sheer hell in the office where I worked at the time. And now another sequel is being made and will be out and Im furious!? Id like to know if other Bridgets feel the same and would like to lobby for the name to be unemphasised by suggesting that it could be any single white dippy female and not just people called Bridget!?

So Libya has accepted responsibility for the Lockerbie outrage "MY ARSE!" all they've done is fork out some money so that embargoes can be lifted which hamper their commercial interactions with other governments and reduce foreign investment. If they accept that they are responsible, then they should put up the criminal who gave permission for the atrocity to be carried out. Not the token scapegoat currently in jail, but the paymaster, and organiser still enjoying life in Tripoli.

Why are insurance companies such rip of merchants. I got a quote for car insurance and I had told them of an accident and got a qoute. They asked if I was at fault I said no. I was tucked up asleep in bed when a fucking lorry backed into my car in a parking space and buggered off without telling me, how can I be at fault there? They said did you claim of his insurance? "No, don't you listen, he buggered off and left me claiming of my own" This they classed as my fault, like why??? If I had seen him and claimed of his, it would have been his fault, but because I didn't see him it is my fault. I don't think so!!! The fault does not change because I claimed, it was still the fault of the ignorant asshole driving the lorry, and it cost me an extra £140 on my insurance. They fleece you every which way, they should not call it a fault/no fault accident if what they actually want to say is "Did you claim whether it was your fault or not?". Fuck them all I say, They want to be in insurance, a risk business, but where is the risk to them? If you have an accident your policy goes up, if enough other people have accidents your policy goes up, if they crash on the stock market your policy goes up, if there is an act of god, they don't pay out and then your policy goes up where is the fucking risk in that I ask you!!!

Just exchanged council properties with as couple. Thought I was getting my dream move to the seaside, so I gave them my 3 bed house and moved with my two little girls to a small 2 bed 1st floor flat. So far they forgot to tell me.... Flea infestation that the council have charged me £37 for and its not helping, my baby is bleeding and sore from the bites all over her body. Aparently I accepted the place as seen and that includes the fleas. No hot water, they left me a note to let me know when I got there. A mad alcoholic living next door who has taken a fancy to single me and keeps knocking on my door asking me to have a drink with him. Known to be violent and so far has had the police round twice. Downstairs a heroin addict, she is on the game to pay for her habit so there is a steady stream of people going in or out. My dream home eh? My five year old and 18 month old baby are swollen, bitten, daren't sleep and hate me. Trust me if you think it's a dream come true.....run away fast!

7th July 2003 BBC Sucks
anti-beeb, you have my vote! For years I have been saying the same thing, do away with the licence fee, and advertise on the channels in the same way as the ITV or satellite channels. The only thing I would also say is at the same time the monopolies commision needs to investigate SKY to force them to lower their prices. Rupert Murdoch owns virtually all the satelite/digital tv plus many of the newspapers, surely being in control of the media in this way is a monopoly. Also if you subscribe to SKY movies then you should get them all, and not have to pay extra for the box office channels. If you subscribe to SKY sport you should not have to pay per view for the boxing or football. Box office and pay per view should be for non subscribers of the related channels. If you could get all channels for around £20 per month then they would swing a lot more viewers, SKY are just too greedy and the monopolies commision need to sort them out because the public have nowhere else to go. The BBC on one side, dead and useless, and SKY on the other side, lots of channels but too expensive and you have to pay extra for the good stuff.
 
6th July 2003 Anti-Beeb
why haven't the monopolies commission torpedoed the bbc and the tv licencing policy.i dont understand why the bbc should exact over £100 pound for channels which are full of repeats when for a simmilar sum i can access over 200 channels with a fantastically diverse programme schedule,with something any number of people would find interesting.they are trying to get us all switched to digital tv,how can the unemployed and people on low incomes afford to switch to digital when they have to pay for a tv licence to what is now a minor broadcaster.
 
3rd July 2003 Governments Stink
You vote a government in based on their promises, and the minute they get in they reverse everything they promised. Why is this? Labour, more commonly known as the conservative knock off party are a bunch of tossers, but unfortunately so are the rest. Why is it none of them will sort themselves out regarding immigrants in this godforsaken country we call England. If you are foreign you have more rights than if you are British, more rights to council housing, more rights to social security, more rights to do what the fuck you want without redress. When will Tony Blair wake up and smell the coffee. If he and the other parties do not address this issue soon there will be a flood of disheartened voters voting for the likes of the BNP, a thing I do not want to see.

Bloody lorry drivers are a menace, they think that because they are driving a HGV it gives them the right to do whatever they want. One pulled out right infront of me on a roundabout today, wanker, I had to slam my brakes on to avoid an accident, it is lucky ther was nothing behind me! Also why do they bother trying to overtake other lorries that they spend 5 minutes getting past only to end up tail to bumper with them at the first set of traffic lights or roundabout. I thought professional drivers were supposed to be people to aspire to, not to avoid at every cost!

Giving things to Charity Shops. would you beleive how difficult it is to give something away, supposidly to people who have nothing?. My wife and I have just been turned down on several occasions while trying to give away a two seater bed setee to charity shops in our area. This item is something we use on a day to day basis and, although not in 'perfect' condition, (that's why we are getting a new one!) is quite usable and serves it's purpose well. The charity outlets we have contacted say that the people they supply only want perfect goods! One example, from well known National charity, said that one woman wanted a matching three seater, two seater and chair!. Well, as no one wants this one, I'll have to get rid of it down the tip. Disposable society? some of us try to help others but they are so ungreatful I don't know why we bother.....

It my sound like a small thing in the scheme of things, but why oh why! do certain dog owners let their dogs foul on the pavements outside schools. Would they like it if they had to clean dog poo of their kids shoes, me and my kids are sick of having to walk with our eyes glued to the pavement all the time, how would these idle few like it if they stepped out of their front door and straight into a pile of dog muck! MT motto is if you wont or cant clean up after your dog then you should,t have one,not to mention the health hazards

i am really annoyed that the guy who is responsible for crashing me into a ditch and creating a scar across my chin gets has no injuries or law suites, i would sue him but he has nothing and probably never will so it would just be a waste of money and i can't afford that. The drunken bastard is so lucky that i'm not gonna beta the f*ck out of him....

Spider - definitely screw the "team spirit" crap! That is just more management BS to get you to work more for less. "Let's do it for the team" and "You're helping the company out" kinda crap are just slogans to get more work from you for less so managers can qualify for their efficiency bonuses.

Hi anonymous, I can sympathise with your problem, all to many companies seem to take your money then run when problems arise. Mesh, like most companies, probably have their share of failed PC's but they should deal with their customers courteously if they don't want bad publicity. You may have tried these already, but they have almost always worked for me, so give it a go if you haven't already, what have you got to lose? What I do is write a letter to the director of the company and start it along the lines of "I have spoken to a solicitor and this letter is the result". Then try to explain rationally all the problems you have experienced and the inconveniences you have had to endure. if possible look through their warranty documentation, or info about their support policy (possibly even off their web site) and point out where they haven't met there promises. Point out to them that under the circumstances you have been more than tolerant but if they cannot resolve the situation you may have to take legal action and write to the press (or watchdog). Sometimes the threat is enough, and sometimes the director is obviously not aware of all the problems, but does not want his company to get a bad name. By addressing it to the Director of Marketing or something, the likelyhood is at least they will get to hear of your problem and may do something about it. I hope this is of some help and that it works for you, it usually does for me.

I bought a PC 2 years ago from Mesh Computers PLC, UK. Since then, I have had a modem fail, Power supply fail and now the hard drive fail. Repeated calls and emails to Mesh go unanswered. there support line is shocking - I have been on hold for over 20 minutes and have had to pay for the privelege. I was told the modem failed due to lightning (there was an electrical storm 3 days before the modem failed). One of the Mesh technicians told me lightning could stay in the phone system for days after a storm (to which I suggested that the worlds energy problems had been solved). In the meantime, it took 6 weeks to get a new modem out of Mesh computers. I was not visited by an engineer as my warranty stipulated, but had to remove the modem myself. In the end I bought another modem. When the power supply failed, I managed to get it replaced within 2 weeks. I was not visited by an engineer as promised and had to send the whole unit back to them. My hard drive failed back in December, not long after I moved overseas. I have been enmailing Mesh since then and have posted the hard drive back to them. They have stopped replying to my emails and seem to be ignoring me! I am now at the point that there is really nothing left to do but whinge as they are so unwilling to help me. Any body have any other ideas?

Hey Taftquack, I also have a gripe with Ohio. I closed my retail business in Ohio in 1992, and moved to Tennessee. I found out in 1999 that the state of Ohio had filed 5 sales tax leins against me. These leins were for time periods after I had cancelled my vendor's license. So far, I have spent the last 3 years trying to get them straightened out, with very little success. When I finally get them cleared, I believe I will try to increase Ohio's budget deficit to the tune of 10 Million dollars. Have you ever tried to buy or rent a place to live with Sales Tax Leins on your credit report? It's not fun . I sincerely hope Ohio gets their money problems figured out, so I can finally get a piece of the pie.

hello world, i have a fellow project member who obviously think too highly of himself. he had shamelessly claimed credit of my hard work and unscrupulously manipulated information to edge himself to advantage. All this time in the project, i had placed teamwork and common objectives on a project basis before personal glory. On many many occasions, for the sake of team consensus and agreement, I was waiting for his input on opportunites only to discover this slimy sob had taken my inaction into his own advantage. I had have enough! Sometimes i ask myself, am i being naive? If so, should I be more assertive and f*** the bloody hell with team spirit and all that crap??? However, doing this would put me into the same slimy bucket as this sob. What then should do then? Having such a pain in the team is making my life and work so unbearable. Can someone pls advise me on how to deal with such a ungodly personality? For now, i can only seek the cold comfort of GOD and his mighty scales of justice!

Say “No” to the Third Frontier, Ohio! Some of us supported Tim Hagan in his bid for Governor, but many of us dismissed him as a, to use our current Governor, Bob Taft’s, words, a "gloom and doom" and "tax and spend" Democrat. Hagan warned us of the structural deficit ranging in the billions of dollars for Ohio. Now the election is over and the breaking of promises begins. Now is the time to face our future in Ohio, a future of tax hikes and layoffs. A Governor that willingly continues to spend millions for a state birthday, while at the same time threatens to cut public services including refusal to find a solution to our crisis in education. A man who stood before the People of Ohio and looked us in the eye to say there is no budget problem, is now telling us we are in a serious budget crisis. How can this crisis have just appeared in three months time? Somewhere between the election in November and the State of Ohio address, the economy collapsed. Tafts solution for Ohio? Taxes and millions of our dollars (500 to be exact) for risky high-tech plans to boost our economy. Sales taxes and taxes on alcohol and cigarettes, among other consumables, are just one more way of taxing the already overtaxed workers of Ohio. This is not to say that they are the only citizens who purchase these items, but let’s face it, we are the ones who consume the most. These self-elective taxes are unfair. At the same time, there is a move among policymakers in our national capital to decrease the taxes of the upper 10%. Those who benefit the most from our government’s system of corporate welfare and political favors will be paying the least (and if you think this is liberal propaganda, you should think twice – check out the corporate welfare roles or simply look at the ratio of income to taxes paid of citizens and then do the same for corporations). Millions of dollar to create a few hundred jobs? This is obviously another way for our Governor to payoff the people who helped fund his campaign and put him in office. Millions of our dollars to corporate accounts. Wouldn’t the economy benefit more if we were to invest those millions in our children, in their schools, and in their futures? High-tech industries are not going to come to Ohio to our benefit unless we have the capacity to educate our people to work there, otherwise, the high paid workers at these facilities will be people who move to Ohio. Don’t get me wrong, our people will work in those facilities, there will be new jobs created but we will be cleaning their toilets, fixing their furnaces and emptying their trash – legitimate occupations but hardly the kinds that generates large sums of money for an Ohio economy. I support the idea that if we want it, we should be willing to pay for it. But, I do not want this Third Frontier in Ohio, I do not want our government channeling our dollars to corporate interests that will offer minimal benefits to Ohio. What we need is an educated citizenry to attract jobs, not the reverse. And shame on us, Ohioans. Shame on us for falling for the soft-touch of Taft because we liked what he said, and not taking a critical eye to see the truth behind Hagan's words; for not giving our support to the honesty we did not want to hear. It’s not too late Ohio, call or write your Representative and Senator and make them hold the Governor accountable.

Bush’s Bilking of America: coincidence or government conspiracy I think Bush’s desire to find hidden Iraqi bank account is a part of his plan to bring our own economy out of the wasteland he has driven it to. Can you see his motivation? Can you see his simpleminded scheming? What is better for building business opportunity than the reconstruction of a foreign state you just pounded into dirt? What more could our big business, corporate swine ask for than to have billions of hidden Iraqi dollars, dollars that belong to the people of Iraq (not Saddam who swindled them out of his people) given to them on a plate? Think long and hard about why so much of our tax dollars are pumped into military spending while my close friends serving in the armed forces make less than $30K per year. How is it possible to have 400 billion in defense spending while my buddy Ron only makes $30,000 a year?! He's been in the Navy for over 8 years now! Let me tell you why it is that we have a defense budget larger than the other top 17 leading nations in defense spending combined: our defense industry is enormous and has complete control over key government committees that appropriates funding. Those who make the decisions in Congress can't help themselves but to go along with it because we allow them to be elected with such bloated election accounts filled with the riches of the defense industry donors. There's little work to make a bomb when compared to making a better heart, or building a better VCR. When was the last time you saw a quality American television? Don't say Zenith -- they're made overseas like the rest! Build a thousand bombs... drop them on a so-called enemy - and presto, you need to make more... talk about planned obsolescence and supply and demand! It's a wonder that we don't invade more countries more often -- what're these guys waiting for... let's kill some more people for god's sake! It's a small price to pay for having a prosperous economy and easy access to cheeseburgers and cable tv. If this is not the case, then why is it... why is it that the Iraqis aren't allowed to decide for themselves how reconstruction will take place? Huh, why is it that the Iraqi people are not provided with aid to develop and build their own capacity for construction? AND, how is it that select US companies, with no ties (sarcasm here) to the administration and military, get first dibs and are so intimately intertwined with this course of action? Hmmm, I wonder... and all the while, the US public allows this administration to continue to support these corporate welfare mothers at our expense while continuing to impoverish our neighbors and friends.

Customer support departments suck, I was on hold for 20 minutes (after my call was taken. I phoned the department on another phone, and got through whilst still on hold on the first) to TheGadgetStore.com's returns department to get a refund for returned products that were faulty. All these bloody companies are all too eager to take your money when you buy the item, then when you want to return it because it is faulty they fuck you about, make you pay the postage and claim it back, and spend weeks before thay credit the money back to your account. I am the one left sitting on the fucking phone paying for the call whilst they arse about in the background doing sweet FA, it makes me so bloody angry.

Today is the 18th of March, 2003. The towers fell about a year-and-a-half ago. What has happened in that time? Well, very early on in the investigation the public knew, or was fairly certain who was responsible for the act. Other than the collection of some scattered operatives, a military operation in Afghanistan, and a pending war in Iraq, what have we really accomplished in a year-and-a-half? This should've been resolved by now. The time frame and the results suggest several things. So where is he? Nobody knows? It's still a mystery? If it is a mystery, then what does that say about the competence of our foreign intelligence? And if they do know where he is, then what does that say about our foreign intelligence, or our entire foreign policy for that matter? And even if we knew his exact whereabouts, could we do anything about it? Remember early on in the hunt, many believed him already dead, buried deep underneath some rubble? What happened to that opinion? I haven't heard that one lately. How come? When a big murder happens here at home, anywhere on American turf, what's usually the protocol? Well normally a bureau gets in motion, and early on some suspects are detained, some leads are pursued, sometimes mistakes are made, but usually the positives outweigh those actions, and within a very short timeframe there is a conclusion. The media attaches itself to the event and most often the story doesn't have a chance to get old. And then the legal system steps in, and the rest is left to history. We're talking hours, days, and weeks here, not years. Who's best at investigating a crime? So who's in charge of this investigation? Give the FBI a green light to act and it's of a very high probability that this whole matter would've been resolved by now. We have to ask ourselves: "How bad do we really want this guy?" We could speculate that even if we get him there's a dozen just like him ready to take his place, but that's not accurate. He's unique in many ways. He's already established himself to a high prominence, and he comes with an impressive resume, reasons not to linger on matters and to move quickly despite the social and religious fall-out. None of that should be a problem if he's sitting in an obscure cave somewhere, or if he's traveling desert roads by caravan, or is disguised as a Bedouin nomad, or is well insulated within the deep protections of armed personnel in Northern Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Iran, or Yemen. None of that should have a bearing on the willingness to move against him. The world is a big place, but given the technology of this era, and what intelligence should be doing, then the whole situation should've been concluded already. There should be no shortage of leads especially as they point to a location, or series of movements. So if he's not dead, where could he be given the time frame we're now sitting on? Again, the time frame suggests several things, if not incompetence in the field, then what? One thing it demonstrates, we're foreigners in a foreign land even though we've made it our business for decades to meddle in the affairs of the Middle East, but now are unable to solve a singular matter, something that many Americans are screaming for. Suppose he's insulated in a country. Is it worth it? It's war isn't it? One of the things about the declaration of war, you follow that thing you're after until it's done. If that means crossing a border to get whatever you're after, if you know something is there, you retrieve or destroy it, then you move on until the whole mission is accomplished. If that state says: "Get out of our country!" Then you say: "What are you doing with these guys, why are they allowed to do what they do against us? We're at war, we've told the whole world that we are now at war, and if you're not careful, you will be too. Give them up, or we'll do whatever we choose to do. That's war brother. And by the way, we have the most sophisticated military on the planet; nobody's going to come to your aid if you make the wrong decision. If you can't help us, then we don't give a %&#$ about you. Well? You better be careful what you say. This isn't intimidation, it's just life or death." If an established government does the wrong thing, you temporarily move within its borders until this matter is put to rest. It doesn't matter which one it is. If it's Arabia, then Arabia should have a major problem on its hands. If you know where he is, you communicate it to the world through the media, you make your move, and then you clean it all up later. Of course the risk is how much of the Muslim World will rally in response to the move, or how much of an effect it will have on the economic climate. But do we really want him? How much are we willing to risk in order to put out part of a fire? Is it worth further destabilization of the Middle East? Or is it worth the possibility of a new shift in power with states moving away from neutrality? Is it worth gasoline doubling in price? How much power does this guy really have? As Jerusalem is to Jews, Mecca and Medina are to Muslims. Arabia is the heart of Islam. It's not Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, nor Egypt. It's much more, and even though its oil reserves are vast, its wealth is only a small part of its power and influence over the rest of the Arab World. Remember something, America has some type of modified alliance with this country. Not only does Saudi Arabia have significant tangible wealth that much of the mechanized world is dependent upon, but it's also a holy land to a large percentage of the global population. And now, a rogue member from one of its royal families has declared war against the West. Bin Laden is Arabian. How the established government there views him isn't important, if the money is being traced to Arabia, then we have a big problem. Until the matter of enabling al-Qaida is resolved by whatever means, this so-called alliance will continue to be a sham with both sides playing a two-faced game. The roots of destruction on this one originally comes from palatial realms. We can try to freeze all of the cash we want. That doesn't address the problem, nor does it stop pumps from pumping. And it doesn't slow down the religious momentum building up in the Middle East. Essentially, what Bin Laden is saying is this: Okay Islam, your rest is over. It's time to get at it again with the Western World. You have a duty to protect your faith; we need to drive out those people who don't belong in our backyard. We'll take any measure available to do so. Are you with us or not? Not only is he well funded, but the Muslim media gives him access to much of the Arab World. But again, we don't know where he is, right? Even if we did know, what could we do about it, especially if he is operating in a place that we can't enter, for whatever reason? Even if he's only the leader of a small faction that operates within the Muslim community, if he's able to move freely past borders without impediment, then what's really happening? We're at war. Correct? War is the ultimate game. And It's On, whether any of us want to admit it or not. And in war, sides take it to the limit in order to crush eminent dangers, unless they're not really at war. And if not, then they shouldn't be using the language of war. That's playing politics, and buffaloing the people. If we have to disrespect the borders of a so-called ally in order to begin the hunt of big game, then we should get on with it. If the social ramifications are too great, then we shouldn't displace that sentiment and become unbalanced with other unrelated endeavors elsewhere in order to make ourselves feel better, to satisfy a hunger, even if it is unresolved business. Take care of the big game before it gets away from us entirely. Did Afghanistan yield anything? Will Iraq? Our foreign policy is a joke, at some point we have to admit it. That in no way refers to the behavior of the United Nations, rather it has everything to do with how we've come to be defined by the global community, our consumptions, our business behavior, and our relationships with respect to aiding regimes and supplying them arms. We went for Afghanistan. Iraq looks to be next. After that, who knows? But unless it's solving The Problem, all of it might be a waste of time, energy, and most of all focus. There's a monster on the horizon. His mission is to be the next Caliph. The time frame suggests a stalemate. end Daniel Pino, Editor of The Gutters of California http://www.webspawner.com/users/roadweighed/

Hi demon strife, It sounds like you are having a tough time of it, you feel unappreciated by one of the people who is supposed to love you unconditionally. He obviously is inconsiderate, and you won't ever probably change that.

What I would do is stop wasting your time thinking about him, don't let him drag you down read some books on self-esteem and positive thinking. Focus on the good in you and not the bad in him. If you change the way you feel about yourself and show that you are in control of yourself and your life it may well be that he will wonder what is going on.

Remember, you cannot change him, he has to do that, but if you change the way you feel about yourself it may help to make the whole situation a lot clearer.

13th March 2003 Annoyed With The System
I agree with Disabled, in Britain we are penalised for working and saving. I have been employed virtually all my adult life, yet at one period of unemployment I could not get a penny due to means testing. It is wrong, that whilst the scroungers know how to claim every penny, and do so, the tax payers cannot get a penny even though we have been subsidising everyone else for years. What is even more wrong though is that foreigners can come into our country and be treated better than the British citizens themselves. The social security, national health and education that our taxes are paying for have open pockets for foreigners yet we have to beg for every penny. A doctors surgery in our area had closed it's doors to new patients as they just could not cope with the work load, but they were told that they had to take the immigrants, both legal and otherwise whilst the British citizens had to go and find another surgery.

I am extremely annoyed that over the years by going without I have built up my savings. Now I am informed that, whilst other who didn't save but "pissed their savings away against the pub wall after closing time" get services FREE/GRATIS; whilst I am expected to pay for them from my hard earned savings, which were put aside for my old age! Surely, something is wrong somewhere!!!

To all you bleeding -heart liberal faggots out there, I have a special offer you mustn't refuse. A one-way ticket to Baghdad. Plane leaves immediately. Be on it! What the fuck are you on about? "No war!" Grow up you fucking idiots. What are trying to do? Ease your own conscience? Feel you're a part of some ethical group by joining their moral crusade? Do you know (and it's a fact, folks) that there are now more counsellors in Britain than there are soldiers!

So when the rabid, mind warped, Godsworn maniacs that call themselves Muslims come at us wrapped in their semtex overcoats, what are we gonna do? Provide a quiet area for them, away from the hubbub of urban life, where they can sit and reflect on the bad thoughts that have plagued them since their childhood was ruined by the fact that their dad ran away after robbing the local post-office and their mum was fucking the local drug dealer in order to pay for her last fix and anyway, the puppy they never got when they were eight years old was a brown one when they wanted a black one?

PLEASE!!!!

You twats look at the world through rose tinted glasses and you wouldn't recognise a evil deed until you're scraping your grandmother's skin out of the nuclear waste. Even then you'll probably say something like "Oh, but he wouldn't have done it if we hadn't upset him". You make me sick! This country is what it is today ( close to a third world nothing) because of people like YOU!.

If one more person says to me "what about all the innocent women and children out there that will be killed", I swear I will kill that fucker myself! WHAT ABOUT THE INNOCENT WOMEN AND CHILDREN HERE IN BRITAIN? IN AMERICA? IN THE WORLD TRADE CENTRE? WHAT ABOUT THEM?

And this 'human shield' idea - fucking excellent! That's exactly where people like that should be. On the front line. And they should be supplied with huge red flags. So when the A10's come along they won't miss the fuckers!

I fucking hate anyone who thinks that by taking the piss out of anyone worse off than they are and by fucking with anybody that seems a vulnerable target somehow makes them a better person. People who only care for their fucking opinion and couldn't give two shits about how anyone else feels or even who the other person is. So long as they voice their criticisms of another person they are happy. I can only express my anger at the moment by actions. Imagine, if you will, a line of human faces being rapidly crushed and turned to a bloody pulp by a pair of steel toe-capped boots. Imagine a human hand tearing into the flesh of some screaming upper middle class public schoolboy cunt, pulling lumps of skin out whilst the useless fuck screams and chokes to death on his own vomit and blood.

What is wrong with you people? You know who you are... Anyone who considers TheTruth.com a godsend, or god forbid is even a part of their halfbaked organization. Honestly now, do you people really think you're making a difference by telling people that paying outrageous amounts of money inhaling smoke is not only a bad idea but *GASP* bad for you? Give me a break, any smoker who doesn't know that cigarettes will shave years off your life by now has to be mildly retarded. And what the hell is this site trying to do convincing us that the big bad tobacco industry is trying to hide that smoking's bad for you? Let's face it, all of you nitwits out there who think this is true are the same detriments to society that are trying to sue McDonald's because "they didn't tell us deep fried lard would make you fat!" Get a life, and get off my goddamned television so my friends can have a cigarette in the comfort of their own home in front of a television without having that media equivalent of that snooty jackass at an LA bar who thinks his lungs are too good for everyone else's air. For the record, I'm not even a smoker, but most my friends and family are, and I can't stand you assholes with your fake coughs and your "Excuse me, I'm breathing here!"s... You're probably the same assholes with the "You Laugh At Me Because I'm Different, I Laugh Cause You're All the Same" T-Shirts and your "Mean People Suck" bumper stickers, and hell, maybe you're even a vegan who turns their nose up at any meat then proceeds to eat a salad that probably killed thousands of field dwelling animals in the process of gathering with huge harvesting combines anyways. Here's a truth for you: You are what's wrong with the world today, and everyone with half a brain wants you to die.
