her heart?

And who would use the phrase "making whoopee" the most as they flirted with her?

Would you see it and how much would you pay?

I mean more than half of the stuff people say in here is crazy and just outright wrong... but it seems that as long as it slams one person that one side hates or one hated party or ideology then it will recieve thumbs up even if what is said is obviously a lie.

I can't believe that there are that many ignorant and crazy people out there. You guys have to be thumbing up any question that is just hating whatever you hate and damn the reality of what you actually know.

Now, i don't have a problem with that but I just want to hear some of you admit that you thumb up answers that you truly know are just flat out lies and/or crazy beyond any measure of sanity. I just want to know... I am starting to think a lot of you guys are seriously crazy.

Two major studios are planning Armstrong films about his doping scandal. Chances are only one will actually produce a film but I am curious about the legal process if the story is told without some input or permission. Armstrong is notoriously touchy of his reputation (even tarnished) and unashamedly litigious.... would he have a case for slander if they portray him as a bully or a outright jerk?

I think his vanity will suck up any portrayal, even a bad one, just so he can continue to be in the news and would love any opportunity to be interviewed by entertainment shows to talk about such a product. And demanding a fee for any film product throws him into that world again (which I think he desperately wants) and he is probably desperate for any income during a time when retaining his fortune is questionable.

I think about all those serial killer movies and TV productions. I am certain Charles Manson does not get paid for any portrayal (not sure though)..... or I wonder about the recent movies about the founder of Facebook or the disgraced executives from Enron. Would they have reasons to sue for any reason?

I don't think those portrayals mentioned above caused law suits but the people portrayed maybe have not been quite as narcissistic as Armstrong. I don't think Armstrong feels real shame. He is also a control freak and allowing such films to exist without his input and/or consent with pay might just be unbearable to the guy without pushing for something.

Could such a case be feasible and acceptable by a court? And do any of you think such a case would have some merit? Thanks.

--as of 2012 we have spent 4 trillion on both wars

--We have spent $791 billion on homeland security since 9/11

--46,000+ Wounded and Dead US Soldiers from both wars combined

--air travel increases with added expensive and delays due to security

--at least 150,000 Iraq civilians dead (some accounts are up to 1 million) due to related war deaths (direct casualties or from war related pestilence).

--prisoners obtained in Guantanamo Bay indefinitely

--world perception of the US violating Geneva Treaty for prisoner abuse and torture and renditions

--US economy saddled with huge defecits to pay for the wars being a part of the recession and unemployment

--displaced Iraqis that fled Iraq (2006 alone saw a exodus of 1.6 million leaving every month)

I'll stop there. My point is was it worth it for 3000 deaths on 9/11? Not to be cold because it was a huge tragedy but was the cost of the revenge and retribution worth it? Would it have actually been smarter to absorb the tragedy and move on and secure the homeland alone (and maybe just have a few airstrikes) but not invade two nations?

I expect a few may say that we did not invade Iraq because of 9/11 but at the time the Bush administration clearly connected al-Quaeda to Saddam Hussein (Cheney is on record of saying Hussein harbored and financially supported the terrorist group). Bush also stated the connection in several press conferences. I also point to the polls of Americans at the time that believed there was a connection. The false 9/11 connection was very much a selling point to American before we invaded.

Finally, if you once supported the wars but now have changed your mind in the execution of the wars what would you have wanted done in hindsight? I personally think our approach has been terribly wrong and this idea of no compromise means the only way to win means total destruction (which is impossible) or endless war.... I think we have been unrealistic and have gone after a wasp with a bazooka. The US saw terrorism in the 19th century with the plains Indians, we made treaties with tribes that decimated settlers, kidnapped women and girls, and we had full knowledge of that. What was the difference between a 19th American leader and a 20th century American leader? One compromised for peace. What were the results of the two very differing American leaders? We don't look at the 19th century military leaders compromising with the Indians as cowards but today we criticize anyone who speaks to compromise. Is that attitude prolonging a endless and unwinnable war?

**** this question is not intended for 9/11 conspiracists to respond (I can't stop it of course but I really don't believe the conspiracy so answers about conspiracies would be ignored by me).

To anti-gay marriage people:

This is my honest opinion of your motivations on this topic:

Do you really care about two homosexuals marrying each other OR are you just against it because you want to control something and make the other side lose?

I don't mean to sound patronizing but seriously the conservative movement has been losing some serious ground since Bush left. Is THIS issue THAT important to take the chance of sullying your already damaged image.

I just can't believe that most of you care that much about this when we have been seeing gays openly living together. In all these years no one has been struck down by lightning. The other reason is pure hate but I just don't believe that is the case. I honestly believe this is a fight that the Right wants to make only because they want to win something.

So will it be worth it if you win? Do you see this as the issue that will rebuild the GOP? I don't think so but I'd like opinions.

Every once in awhile when I put gas in my car I get a gas dispenser with a trigger that will stop with the least amount of pressure from my hand.

What's that about?

I think Ryan Seacrest should be castrated. Who would be against that?

I don't know how much real science was studied on a pre-dope admitting Armstrong was vs how much was just marketing that looked like science but let's assume the scientific studies were authentic.... would his admissions discredit any studies that he was a part of in a control experiment?

I know that Armstrong has a abnormally large heart and the theory is that increases oxygen levels which gave him a physiological advantage against normal sized hearts BUT so would blood doping and EPO use (I believe). I am pretty sure some scientific or medical experiments centered around Armstrong being the subject on such a matter. Does his admission invalidate any study conducted on this experiment specifically? And has any scientists publicly shown such a concern?

I am not a scientific type person by the way. So maybe any experimentation on Armstrong made the scientific community roll their eyes anyway and never took such studies seriously (as I suspect it was more PR than science but I am cynical... Maybe those were valid studies and now I wonder if they would be questioned today).

Now that Obama has been sworn in for another term and it is so obvious that a lot of you hate this man in such a personal way that this might be time to reflect. Has your anger towards Obama looked so crazy or just illogical at times that damage the reputation of your party?

There has been no action of Obama to take over any industry in the United States... not one, not healthcare as insurance corporations actually have more business from the Affordable Health Act... not the auto industry, his administration did temporarily oversee one part of the American auto industry when they basically begged for the government to step in and when the government did the government pulled out. If you know what the word "socialism" means, and I suspect many of you are smart and know what it means and has just used the word to scare more ignorant people, then you have to know that Obama is no where near a socialist. Like I said, I think many of you actually know that but use the word for cynical purposes. And that brings me to my point: don't you think that calling him a socialist and having his opponent's advisers using such antiquated and frankly a stupid term actually turned average intelligence voters turn your message off at times?

Or any weapon in it's category.

I find that about 8 out of 10 people who are arguing for owning this type of weapon can not argue the merits of these guns without being angry or paranoid or both. This presentation of defending these types of guns is making such owners look frankly loony in the tune of Ted Nugent and Alex Jones loony.

Let me be very clear too, I own a handgun. I have been in a family that has served in the USMC and the US Army. I have friends who own guns and have relatives who are in law enforcement and carry side arms for at least 40 hours a week of their existence. I am not against guns but I dont see the logic of owning a military style weapon. We already ban switchblades in every community I know of. Why? Because they have no purpose but to stab human beings. The AR15 is not a efficient weapon for hunting and it certainly doesn't give the animal a sporting chance.

I stress again the citizens who are demanding that they have a right to own a gun like the AR15 seem more and more unhinged. I don't want crazy people to have guns but I certainly don't want angry and paranoid people to own them either. You people arguing for it are making angry arguments and using threatening language. Read your comments and maybe you should start changing your tone.

For those who believe the US government will be a tyranny and the only thing that is stopping them is their fear of the populace that owns these weapons: bullshut. They would have already taken you down. They would not fear you if they even cared to turn the nation into a tyranny. They were not afraid of taking out David Koresh and his followers or the family at Ruby Ridge. Our federal law enforcement agencies and our military is extremely disciplined and much better equipped than a handful of guys with Bushmasters and a six pack of Coors Light. It mistime to grow up and face reality. You still have the right to own a firearm but maybe it is time to give up this idea that owning a gun designed solely to take human life at a accelerated rate is maybe NOT your right after all. There is a reason why we don't allow citizens to own RPGs... there is certainly a reason to consider that assault rifles should be banned.

First off, my condolences to the families of these men who risked their lives continuously for their community. It is a very sad and tragic incident.

My question though is valid in light of the NRA's position about arming teachers or hiring security guards. Would that argument apply to firemen or even a sanitation worker? Do bus drivers also need to be armed so we can all allow the gun enthusiasts the right go walk around with guns at all times? Is that really worth it? Should landscapers and fast food cashiers be armed too? Is this going to be the next asinine argument of the NRA and their most extreme members? BTW, I understand that a lot of the NRA members are not solidly behind the NRA's leadership's positions.

If the Republican party can't adapt by 2016 and it is clear they can't win the presidency why don't just run the very dead Reagan. They will lose and look crazy doing it but since like they love talking about Reagan and how they believe he single handedly solved every problem in the world and everyone farted gold during his presidency then why not run Reagan's cadaver? It would be the greatest way for them to show their appreciation and deification of Reagan and they could have a ecstatic daily dialogue that lasts at least a year (a campaign season). Afterall, it seems that talking about Reagan is better than having orgasms to the GOP.

If you are going to be insane why not embrace insanity fully?

I have always found it interesting that some on here go out of their way to type 0bama instead of just Obama. I assume we are all adults but some people seem to think they are being hilarious by calling Bush shrub or now Obama 0bama.... or maybe they don't find it funny at all, it just makes them feel better.

What do you guys think?

And if you type it like that why do you do it? Are you looking for your own to pat you on the back?

The same goes for "libtards" or whatever liberals type out for conservatives. It seems that a 25-age of death would just avoid stuff like that but I guess not. Any comments would be appreciated.

I want to send a care package to those brave disabled troops. I understand that their enemies have been using IEDs made out of ginger bread and the fragments lodged in a limb can sure cause a nasty infection.

Also, any updates on the progress of this horror of a war? I can only find WoC information on Fox and I like to have more than one source when informing myself on such a important and earth shattering event.

Sources would be greatly appreciated.

Oh and can anyone give me a links to the candy cane ribbon that support the Troops that are defending Christmas. I want a magnetic one for my car. Thanks in advance!

I had no idea there was a War on Christmas but lately I have been watching Fox News coverage of the blood spilled between this horrific war. I am still not sure who the combatants of but I fear that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are on different sides. What am I supposed to tell my children about that?

It appears the War on Christmas has been going on for at least 5 years now and there is no clear victor. I am incensed that the US will not intervene. Is Santa okay? Is the baby Jesus secure and who is protecting him? Have any of the major players (Santa, baby Jesus, Joseph, Mary, the Magi or any of the farm animals) been killed?

Any sources would be very appreciated. I can't believe my family has been enjoying the Christmas holidays all these years and were unaware of the carnage. Maybe we should reconsider having Christmas this year to show our solidarity for the Christmas troops!!!

From Sarah Palin to Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck and even Republican candidates (Gingrich and Bachmann) laughing at and demeaning the work that community organizers contribute to the election process is this a big "**** you" to these Republicans by these workers?

You can't ignore the fact that Obama's ground game was reliant on community organizers to bring his vote out. In some counties of Pennsylvania, Virginia and Ohio his workers called every single registered Democrat and it worked.

I find it strange that no one is talking about the fact that it looks like the community organizers had the best revenge in the end. Palin looked shell shocked for her first appearance after the election. I think it's kinda funny. No offense to those folks on here who used to belittle community organizers but put the shoe on the other foot... you'd find it funny too.

*****I asked this question earlier today but I only got one answer so I am posting it again
