and other European things like Europe.

[ErikJ]

81. Especially ELECTRIC trains. They like diesel only.

THeir Koch brothers masters want to sell more of their oil distillates.

[NYC_SKP]

8. Hope.

You listed "change", I'm thinking hope goes with that nicely.

[Newest Reality]

9. At night, in the closet:

Themselves.

[barbtries]

92. good one.

maybe that's why it seems they never sleep.

[PennsylvaniaMatt]

10. I have a few!

Bill Maher

Ron Reagan

Jon Stewart

[alfredo]

98. Natalie Maines

[alfredo]

99. Sandra Fluke

[Brigid]

11. Barack Obama.

Do I have to think of everything around here?

[lindysalsagal]

14. Evolution.

Really hate evolution.

[lindysalsagal]

15. People with rhythm. (Good dancers)

I'm just sayin'

[Travelman]

129. Well, I do, too

But I'm just jealous 'cause I can't dance for shit.

[BainsBane]

16. Education

especially higher education.

[femmocrat]

20. And public education! nt

[rdking647]

17. America

[sheshe2]

22. That is exactly what I was going to post! nt

[Hubert Flottz]

41. Me too.

And the evidence to back up that assertion, mounts up with each passing second.

"Know then by their works," or lack of it.

Congress should get paid by the piece.

[lindysalsagal]

18. District Attorneys.

"You nosey kids!!" Scooby Doo reference. Sorry.

[BainsBane]

19. compact florescent light bulbs

and any money saving green technology.

[reformist2]

59. Truth be told, I'm not a fan of CFLs.

Nobody's getting my stash of incandescents!

[adieu]

72. What about LEDs?

They're even more energy efficient than CFLs, and can be much brighter than Halogens without the concomitant radiant heat.

[BainsBane]

75. I don't understand the complaint

My cousin who is typically very green feels the same as you do. I like CGLs. You have to change them far less often and they save money on electric costs. They make ones that emit softer light now.

[Travelman]

131. They're still filled with mercury

Realistically, a whole lot of them are going to wind up in landfills, leeching mercury into the water table. No matter how careful you and I are with the environment, the average Joe Sixpack isn't, and these things are not something that ought to be tossed into landfills.

I'll stick with LEDs, thank you. I like that whiter light anyway.

[PDJane]

160. I like the LED's too, and recycle the compact fluorescents.

Will move to led's as soon as all of the fluorescents die. I do have an incandescent bulb in the storage closet, but that's because it has to come on as fast as I flick the switch; that's where the breaker box is.

[Martin Eden]

21. Critical Thought

Logic that isn't fallacy.

[amerciti001]

71. Also any form of Thinking such as...

1: Critical Thinking= using logic and reasoning to identify the strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions, conclusions or approaches to problems;

2: Complex Problem Solving= identifying complex problems and reviewing related information to develop and evaluate options and implement solutions;

3: Analytical Thinking= analyzing information and using logic to address issues and problems;

4: Initiative= the willingness to take on responsibilities and challenges

Now these are the things they really do not like!!

[Martin Eden]

80. They avoid it themselves ...

... and they HATE it in others!

[Populist_Prole]

137. Yeah really!

They pick where they want to go first; then try to cherry pick/ignore in order to support or confirm their biases.

[alittlelark]

23. The Founding Fathers

Who hated and fought the East India Trading Company (corporation) as the precursor to the Revolutionary War.

[ZRT2209]

35. science

[smitko1]

36. Why The GOP Hates Mr. Obama

I strongly feel the main reason why the GOP hate's Mr. Obama and his family, Is because those so called christian's, Strongly feel that a Aferican American Man and women belong serving them their every need. These same people DID NOT like the fact the North won the Civil War. The hate for people that are not "WHITE" goes so far deep in our American History and will NOT go away any time soon!! The leader's in the GOP party, Like Rush "NUT JOB" Laumbach and Sean "D BAG" Hanity, Make's their head spin, seening a man in the White House that is just as smart as our Finding Father's. The fact that their is a man in the White House has more brain's in his little finger, Than the whole party does. The GOP strongly feels the White House only belong's to "RICH WHITE PEOPLE" and those who are not "WHITE" belong either in the kitchen or behind the steering wheel.

This is the only time in US history, That we first heard the word "birther's" And all the other code word's for "NOT WHITE" The GOP is and are wilingl do to every thing in their power to make sure this man "FAIL's"!! Even if it tanks the US economy. It's way more important to see this man sink's than to do the job for the American people. This man (B.O) saved this country from going back 200 year's, Made sure that many compaines did not go under and much much more. All thanks to the man named GEORGE W. BUSH and is so called team.

All people should do their best to make sure the GOP is NEVER,NEVER,NEVER BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!! Get the word out and make sure that you do your American Duty and VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!! If you want this county to go back to the 1700's, Than by all means vote Republican!!!!

57. Iceland? It seems so ... Small and innocuous.

[barbtries]

93. i think

they put their banksters in jail. correct me if i'm wrong.

[Travelman]

133. Actually, they didn't. That's a false internet meme.

Iceland put away a few government officials and one head of the state-run bank there, and one other for insider trading. Hardly "imprisoning the banksters."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008%E2%80%9311_Icelandic_financial_crisis





The "we put the banksters in jail and bailed out the people" meme sounds good, but it doesn't really hold water.

One thing I CANNOT stand is a Horatio Alger fable-spewer with zero empathy or heart.
