I only wish I had the knowledge that some JU members have when it comes to politics. I only began to have interest in politics after 9/11. I never really cared much for it, I figured no matter who I voted for or who I believed in my vote and voice would be lost is the entanglements of the Gov’t. Only after understanding how things work did I realize how much more powerful my vote and voice were. I soon chose to be Republican because I understood that this party stood for what I believed in. I ...
Well what do we have here. Bush's numbers are going up. But how is that possible, what with all the mayham going on in the White House with the admission to having faulty Itel and the story about illegal wire tapping. How is this possible? That's how the cookie crumbles my friends. I gotta wonder what those who thought this was all bad have to say about this now, specially those who love using POLLS to make a point. Here's the link for those who don't know how to use Google. Link Link ...
The U.S. Census Bureau claims that the US has over 30 million poor people or roughly 12% of the population. 30+ million people, that’s a big number. Here’s a good question for everyone, if this number is correct, or let’s even say there may actually be only half as many(15 million for those who don’t want to do the math), why are there so many people poor? What exactly does poor mean? By definition poor means lacking riches, needy, lacking in signs of wealth or good taste, but what do people b...

If there is anyone to blame for my financial situation, I can only think of 2 answers: me and the American people. I say me, obviously, because as a family man, I am responsible for the well being on my wife, kids and myself. Just like my wife is responsible for the well being of my kids and me as well. It is up to me and her to proving the financial part of our lives so that we can live a, somewhat, normal life (normal depending on the persons point of view). I work, she works or we both w...
I find it very interesting to read opinions that some people have about how the US conducts itself in the world. Like it is some kind of world police that goes around telling other countries what to do and how to do it. So think something has to be done in order to make this world a better place to live and since the US is, today, the most powerful country in the world, it is up to us to take the first steps towards that road. Others think that we have no right to tell anyone how to do things,...
Well actually a parcial idea. Something I heard on TV. I was thinking about the illegal alien problems and about how to stop them. So many different ideas yet not one has been chosen. What if we can make these politicians understand that we want action, we want results, we want something done and we want it now? Here's my parcial idea, parcials because I know what we can do, which is let's all buy on brick, any brick, now here is the part I don't have, we should send it to a Gov't Office. ...
According to a local Puerto Rican newspaper, El Nuevo Dia, it seems that the Govenor of Puerto Rico is searching for ways to save money because they are running out of it. It's so bad to the point that he is in search of where he can cut back. By considering closing some non essencial Gov't offices, it is possible to save enough money. But not onlynon essencial offices are being considered. It seems that by closing schools a few weeks before the end of school is also being considered. The edu...
I love the US, wouldn’t change it for any other country in the world, not even for Puerto Rico where my parents are from. I was born in Jersey City NJ and regardless of what anyone says I am an American just like the children of those who migrated to this country over 200 years ago when the US was just starting to grow. I have never actually called myself Puerto Rican, especially when I moved to Puerto Rico at the age of 8 (worst idea my mother ever had and worst thing the could have happened...
Keep in mind this is only an idea, a possibility that I can’t really prove but I consider to be very possible. A Conspiracy Theory I guess. What if I told you that the deficit that we see everyday in the news, that we hear from some peoples mouths does not exist. What if I told you that all that interest that we are supposedly going to pay is nothing but a false. Can any of this be true? Why not? Has anyone ever asked themselves where does Bush get all this money to fund the war in Iraq...
Believe it or not trolls have dreams as well. But our resident troll has a dream that only he can dream it. In his dream he sees the US controlling it’s own ports because he won’t trust anyone that is not American. This way he can be sure that no bombs will ever enter the US and kill millions, since we have a great reputation of being so thorough with our searches. The ocean would be full of Coast Guard Cutters and choppers flying around watching every single boat out there, checking every ...
Is the political world a bit slow these couple of days or are the JU people asleep? Where is everyone and whats up with the forums? It seems a bit slow around here past 2 days. I know there is this thing with that Galactic Emipre II game going on sale, but if the forum page still shows, why is it that there are hardly any people posting or replying? It is lonely and boring around here people, wake up and let's get this place rolling again, please. These 5 hours at work can be really boring whe...
I'm Catholic, well I was raised Catholic. I don't go to church but i do believe in God. Anyways. As I watched TV last night I came across The Simpson show. I always enjoy the crude humor of the show, but last night made me want to run into the streets and riot, burn cars, destroy private and public property and maybe beat some people up to the point of almost killing them..... and then maybe let them die. Why? I'll tell you. The show had something to do with Homer and Marge having relations...
They both believe that resistance is futile. That only thru them can we achieve perfection. They both love new technology. Negotiation is irrelevant. They are one. They must assimilate everyone. The collective must grow at all cost. They are all drones. I think I need to watch less Star trek.
Tropical Storm Chris is heading towards the Caribbean Islands and in a possible direct path to Florida. With at least a week before coming close to the US, TS Chris has plenty of time to grow up and become a Hurricane, maybe a powerful one. And who do we have to thanks for this? Well who else? Our own President George W. Bush. Because of his policies both in the US and in the Middle East even hurricanes are taking shots at the US. I mean, it's so obvious, they do come from across the ocean ju...
