yay capitalism!!!

YOU TELL EM!!! EVERBODY KNOWS REPUBLICANS DON'T LIE!!! BUSH IS CHRIST REBORN!!! HORRAAAA!!! Questioning politicians is what america was founded on. and of course they want to raise taxes. We had 3,000,000,000,000 bucks in the bank before bush took over, now we've owe somewhere around 4 trillian. I don't understand how bush can cut taxes, hand out hundreds of dollars to every tax payer, fund a "war" against terrorism and all that iraq business(i just heard about this in passing) and expect to come out ahead. Not that i blame just G.W. our country is lead entirely buy money hungry scabs (of course i mean television networks, oil companies and disney)

ah sheesh, you guys. Please don't think for a second that GW Bush speaks for all americans. What many of us see, like you, is a man desperate to point fingers. A man sweating as the weight of the world falls on his shoulders. He's just trying to divert attention away from his mistakes, but over all, no matter his motivations, i believe the world is a better place for it. Iraq was screwed, bush didn't have the right intentions when he dragged us into that "war" but the end result is still as sweet. I believe it's wrong for countries to take a blind eye to the situation in iraq because they don't want to "side" with the states. Screw that. In the end there's millions of people suffering, but who also have a chance at a new beginning. Try looking them in the face and say "I'd like to help you out, but the United States is an evil country and you belong to them now" Christ it's not like we made the mess, believe it or not iraq wasn't the nicest place in the world before we got there, but atleast there's opportunity to improve now. Iraq is not the perverbial poop left behind by the bean loving pit bull tha tis the united states. They're people who need a hand. Get over yourselves and help out.

it's funny that when i get lunch 95% of the people serving me are black, but when i return to work, 95% of the people i serve are white. Just because you know there are 5 or 6 black guys and 9 or 10 women at the office that make more than you, doesn't mean there aren't 60 other white guys making more than all of you combined. Most companies hire just as many minority employees as they need to be socialy exeptable. not all, but most. There is no way that a major business located in any major city should have below a 20-40% minority employee base. Not unless something is very very wrong.

I think what some people here are missing, is that opportunity and reward are two entities entirely. I believe that the idea of AA is solid, but not as a long term solution. 40 years ago, no matter how tipped the scales, a company would hire a white man over a black, or asian, or.....anyone not white. It's cold hard fact. AA was needed to force door open for minorities in the market place. Unfortunitly AA takes no requirements into mind outside of race. This is it's short comming, all AA will do in the end is open up an opportunity but the lucky few have to shoulder the responsibility from there. The job itself is not the reward, they must prove themselves to be invaluable to the work force, which won't happen till we improve the educational resources in our cities. If white society must, lawfully, employee a percentage of minority races wouldn't be in our best interest to make sure they receive a good education. I don't understand why my country would seemingly turn it's back on it's public schools (I present my spelling as proof). A few posts backi noticed that someone mentioned his wife was making 50% more than he. 50%!? whatta chump. Also that our country has a large share of women CEOs. How many of the fortune 500 have a female CEO and out of those how many aren't truely run by a board of trusties which is 80% old white guys? gimme a break. this country has made leaps and bounds in the right direction, but it's still got a long way to go. AA is not the answer, education is, but AA is a strong tool and i don't believe we've run out of use for it.
