<p>College HIC, 22'S ARE WORSE BECAUSE THEY BOUNCE AROUND INSIDE OF YOU AND RIP YOUR INTERNAL ORGANS APART. GUNS ARE FOR SAVAGES AND THUGS! Excuse the Caps!</p>
<p>Unearth: "BTW, its not that bad in Iraq, a NYT artcile said that the crime rating were lower in baghdad. than the majority of American cities, in Northwester and Southern America."</p>
<p>hahaha....and you believed them....</p>
<p>yes i do, as I have men who ahve served in iraq in my Family. who back up the NYT claims.</p>
<p>All that bothers them is the Heat and food,</p>
<p>dmk092, your actually wrong sorry</p>
<p>Second Amendment states: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."</p>
<p>Free state being the key term. Its not a free state if the goverment takes over, the citizens.</p>
<p>Im going to have to disagree with your claim that my professors dont know what they are talking about. Knowing how, all 6 of them on the undergraduate level, so far(im a history major), have all said the same thing. at 2 different schools.</p>
<p>"yes i do, as I have men who ahve served in iraq in my Family. who back up the NYT claims."</p>
<p>hahaha...you STILL believe them....</p>
<p>well as seing one of them is on his 3rd trip. Yes I do believe him.</p>
<p>The stuff you have read and heard is propaganda....</p>
<p>Take that as you will, but Bush has definitely made his mistakes. And even you have to agree to that.</p>

<p>Actually, I said low-velocity .22 bullets. The kind of damage you're thinking of is if you fired a .22 bullet from a carbine or a rifle.</p>
<p>low-velocity .22 bullets are generally used to hunt things like squirrels and rabbits.</p>
<p>However, they are extremely lethal if, like I said before, they are fired from a higher power rifle.</p>
<p>The D.C. Sniper a few years ago used .22 caliber bullets to kill/injure his victims. However, if you look at the gun and the size of the casing he used... the casing where the powder is stored was simply HUGE! You fire that and the .22 is gonna go much faster, thereby causing the bouncing.</p>
<p>If you get shot by a slow .22 round in the arm, you're gonna go: "OW!!!! MOTHERF<strong><em>ER!!! THAT F</em></strong>ING HURT!!! OMG!!!!!" If you get shot by a .357 or a .38, you're just gonna forget cursing and just scream. If you get shot in the arm by a .44 or a .50, you're not gonna have an arm anymore.</p>
<p>Also, a .22, which is a very small bullet size, can still penetrate sophosticated body armor if the bullet was fired at a high velocity.</p>

<p>So... the New York Times produces conservative, pro-war propaganda? </p>
<p>Have you read the New York Times recently?</p>

<p>lol. that's pretty funny.</p>
<p>Well unearth, I cant argue with that. BTW, unrelated to topics, what college do you go to and what made you want to be a history major?</p>
<p>grrrrrr, you're so angry! That so cute. Now please, shut the fu(k up and get a real argument with at least a modicum of intellectual legitimacy.</p>
<p>Uhh, actually Im a high school senior, and for part of my life wanted to be a middle eastern history major. I asked because as a student looking at college,s Im actually interested in why he chose that major, as Im going through that decision myself. Im sorry you havent matured to the point where you have to make real decisions in life, but the name of this website is actually COLLEGE CONFIDENTIAL, and I joined to find out about COLLEGE and MAJORS. Im sorry if these last two posts were off topic.</p>
<p>"So... the New York Times produces conservative, pro-war propaganda?"</p>
<p>ummm...New York Times is known to be notoriously conservative. Plus, Unearth would only quote conservative newspapers.</p>
<p>Um because its pretty much, the most well know and respected paper in the world. plus I am a conservative and support the war 100%.</p>
<p>I attend NYU, i have always enjoyed history as a subject and am thinking of becoming a teacher.</p>
<p>I have a random question. Does the LA Times tend to lean liberal or conservative on the political spectrum?</p>
<p>The New York Times and the LA Times (and, to a lesser extent, the Washington Post) are all very liberal newspapers. Unearth quoted it because it is the "newspaper of record," and, for some reason, it's still very respected for news. </p>
<p>The New York Times has endorsed a Democrat for president in every single election since Eisenhower in '56. It editorialized in favor of the seven percent of Americans who supported taking "under God" out of the Pledge of Allegiance. Its editorialists include Maureen Dowd, Frank Rich, and Paul Krugman. How, exactly, does that make it "notoriously conservative?"</p>
<p>Underlying all of this unneccesary chitchat is this simple fact: the majority of Americans voted for the "..C student from Andover & Yale." :eek: Sooo....not only is our country appearing to look "like a joke" but we are also acting and becoming it. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. :mad:</p>
<p>If we voted for kerry, we would have voted for a C- student from andover and Yale. Thus, the C student (Bush) was a better choice than that crappy C- student from Yale (kerry).</p>
<p>RESUME - GEORGE W. BUSH
EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE </p>
<p>LAW ENFORCEMENT:</p>
<p>I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine, in 1976 for driving under the influence of alcohol. I pled guilty, paid a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for 30 days. My Texas driving record has been
"lost" and is not available.</p>
<p>MILITARY:</p>
<p>I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused to take a drug test or answer any questions about my drug use. By joining the Texas Air National Guard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam.</p>
<p>COLLEGE: </p>
<p>I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. I was a cheerleader.</p>
<p>PAST WORK EXPERIENCE: </p>
<p>Advertisement
I ran for U.S. Congress and lost. I began my career in the oil business in Midland, Texas, in 1975. I bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas. The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock. I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money. With the help of my father and our right-wing friends in the oil industry (including Enron CEO Ken Lay), I was elected governor of Texas.</p>
<p>ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS: </p>
<p>I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted state in the Union.</p>
<p>During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America. I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money.</p>
<p>I set the record for the most executions by any governor in American history.</p>
<p>With the help of my brother, the governor of Florida, and my father's appointments to the Supreme Court, I became president after losing by over 500,000 votes.</p>
<p>ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT: </p>
<p>I am the first President in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal record.</p>
<p>I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week.</p>
<p>I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury.</p>
<p>I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history.</p>
<p>I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period.</p>
<p>I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.</p>
<p>I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S. stock market.</p>
<p>In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs and that trend continues every month.</p>
<p>I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in U.S. history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her.</p>
<p>I set the record for most campaign fundraising trips by a U.S. President.</p>
<p>I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations.</p>
<p>My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S. History, Enron. My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision. </p>
<p>I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against investigation or prosecution. More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history.</p>
<p>I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed.</p>
<p>I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history.</p>
<p>I changed the U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts.</p>
<p>I appointed more convicted criminals to administration than any President in U.S. history.</p>
<p>I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in the history of the United States government.</p>
<p>I've broken more international treaties than any President in U.S. history.</p>
<p>I am the first President in U.S. history to have the United Nations remove the U.S. from the Human Rights Commission.--this is true.</p>
<p>I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law.--actually what happened is the World Court is changing into the International Criminal Court--because the US wants to be a part of the court, but not
be open to having the US have charges brought up against them, they have temporarily ceased negotiating with the countries involved in and taking part in the establishment of the ICC. So, in other words, the US wants to be able to establish the laws within the ICC, practice those laws within the ICC, but not have those laws applied to our country.</p>
<p>I refused to allow inspectors access to U.S. "prisoners of war" detainees and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention.--Guantanomo Bay.</p>
<p>I am the first President in history to refuse United Nations election inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. election).</p>
<p>I set the record for fewest number of press conferences of any President since the advent of television.</p>
<p>I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one-year period.</p>
<p>After taking off the entire month of August, I presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history.</p>
<p>I garnered the most sympathy for the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S. the most disliked country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world
history.</p>
<p>I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for protest against any person in the history of mankind.</p>
<p>I am the first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked, preemptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. citizens, and the world community.</p>
<p>I have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families - in wartime.</p>
<p>In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq, then blamed the lies on our British friends.</p>
<p>I am the first President in history to have a majority of Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security.</p>
<p>I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical Bunker Buster," WMD. </p>
<p>I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein to justice.</p>
