Stank_Ho: Was 14 hours enough time ? budbem : I hope you are wrong but I have not heard or checked out your info.But if fuel in the USA does go to $10.00 a gallon.The farmers are not going to be able to raise the crops to feed the world like they do now.They may not even be able to feed us.So you better make that popcorn last Stank_Ho. I've expressed my opinion in this topic & it is still the same as when I started it.Just one more thing When it all comes down(If this country's ecomomy really crashes & it begins to fall) . I will be one of the new American Revolution Fighters & some will be glad I am. To quote Chareton Heston "until the pry the gun from my cold dead fingers".I hope this isn't necessary but it may be.

CA3LE : Thanks I new where the exact date was I thought 12/4 was close enough for the post.I just wanted to find the number I joined at. You have now told us how to get the exact number.If I was off on the exact one by 3 either way it would have been close enough for me. Cholla

peepnklown: I am aware of USA funding the people they want in power in certain countries.That is something that might be considered in the USA's best interest.It seems to be the opinion some have that it was OK for France to act in their best interest but like usual not for the USA.Even though this has backfired on us I am against any foreign funding by the USA myself. cak46: My problem is not with France acting in their best interest if they had been upfront that any information they got they would pass on if it was in their best interest,If this classified information caused the death of American troops how many would have to be killed before France would be wrong for acting in their best interest? Would it be OK for a United States citizen to sell N.Korea the missle & nuclear bomb blueprints of the USA's best . If it was in their best interest you know for money .Or would this be crossing the line of best interest?They could then take the money & go to another country to be out of range.I think most would consider this a crime.The point is its not OK for a country or individual to do anything just because they consider it to be in their best interest. Unless you beleive inthe law of the jungle theory where nothing is wrong as long as you survive. Cholla

Hey all: I think the higher oil prices are the way the rest of the middle eastern countries are using to finance terrorism since the money Iraq& Sadam was putting toward this has stopped for now. Or we can buy the media 's & governments latest reason the Chinese are using so much more than they were.you know driving down their new super interstate in their giant suvs. Cholla

Hey php:Thanks glad to know how to find it.I guess I joined close to the 1000 not 2000 like I thought. Cholla

Hi all: It sure is growing fast.I think I joined somewhere around 2000 in 12/04.Is there a list showing what number we were when we joined? If not how about providing us one CA3LE unless you think it would cause trouble like Karma did. Cholla

netmasta : The US might be to blame for not being ready to shoot commercial airplanes down when the are offcourse & don't respond.This is still a hard decision to make.How would you like the job of making that decision.This would have ment losing about 800 lives instead of adding 3000 more too the total.Since this hadn't happend here before I don't think anyone was ready to make that decision. Now to address the second part of your response.I beleive in protectionism (that means as little involvment with other countries as possible(as simple as it can be stated).But as stated in this topic I beleive the USA,Europeon Union & theUN are going for a one goverment planet. My ancestors were hear before the American Revolution the native American ones a long time before.These people worked hard ,fought ,died to develope this country into what it is now.Trying to make it so each generation would have it better than the last one.The citizens (past & present) of other countries including third world ones have not been willing to do this or they would have it better or all have died fighting for a better government.They now want it the easy way by coming here for example how many American citizens have you heard of trying to sneak accross the Mexico border to have a better life.The reason we have what we do is our ancestors were willing to make the sacrifices the did.The native Americans sacraficed the most because they lost all of an almost unblemished land.And I sure don't expect to see them get it back with each of the nations having their own new democracy.Like the plan for Iraq. Cholla

peepnklown: Do you really beleive this? How about blaming the terorists for their own actions.Iraq & other middle eastern countries have trained & financed terrorists where is their responsibility.You can not blame this on the USA. This is like blaming the victem of a crime for being there instead of the criminal Or the gun for commiting the crime.I would see us be protectionists as stated in my previous post. Since our government is not going to do this we may be attacked by terrorists but the blame is still on the criminal terrorists. Cholla

Hi 24Kbps: Before the last 2 posts MUff!N I think found your problem or at least part of it.Read the Norton link & follow the instructions.At least before you give up & reinstall.The problem with reinstalling is you lose all of your extra programs & have to reinstall all of them.This is not too bad if you have them backed up on disk.Because if you want a really clean install you need to format first.BUT DON,T DO THIS WITH OUT THE FOLLOWING:A full installation disk or if you have an update disc you need the full instalation disk it updated;if you have a restore disk( probably a ghost clone) then it should do a clean install after a format. Hi MUff!N: I think that 24Kbps Is probably just young(& I'm old enough to call him young) & has the impatence that comes with that.He's had so many suggestions he can't remember them all nothing is working & he's frustrated with the whole mess.Especially since it is his brothers computer that has the real problem. 24Kbps doesn't say why his brother isn't working on his own computer.But at least he's smart enough to ask for help & thats more than I can say I was.I'm still learning all the time. Cholla

Ditto on Shugs reply Cholla

Shug7272: Over all I thinks its been pretty civil. I wouldn't care about France either if they hadn't done something that could have affected the safety of our troops.Even if I think having them in Iraq is a bad idea.They still have my support. My retaliation against Iraq would not have involved putting American troops in Iraq.It would have been a missle & bomb war from aircraft carriers & subs.With no plans to start a democracy in Iraq only to retaliate for their terrorist support.Personally I would favor a protectionist government where we stayed out of everyone else's business & made them stay out of ours by force if necessary.This would mean no foreign aid,no American military bases on foreign soil(except for Cuba for obvious reasons),no foreign embassies( this would mean travel outside the USA at your own risk). In other words let the rest of the world take care of its problems & we would take care of ours. BUT THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN IT DOESN'T MEET THE AGENDA FOR A ONE GOVERNMENT PLANET THAT IS WHAT OUR LEADERS &the EUROPEON UNION & UN have in mind.Just watch & see as things move this direction. Cholla

MUff!N: this is off subject but I like your new sig better The old one made me feel like it was gathering info on me. I would like to know too Are you a real Newbie 24kbs .we don't mind helping if you are but you might want to slow down on the tweaking until you read a little more.Otherwise you are going to have to reinstall It looks like you're getting close to that know. Cholla

24Kbps: System restore sometimes doesn't work all that well.try these 2 things if you can reinstall the Sygate program,reboot,see if this corrected your problem.If it did not correct the problem uninstall it again,reboot & see if that corrected the problem. Suggestion 2 do a scanreg /restore this is different than system restore.I am not sure exactly how to do this in XP but try this.Start button Run scanreg /restore. all you have to type in the run box is scanreg /restore just like it is here. Follow the windows directions to restart from the box that comes up.Once in the scanreg /restore screen select a registry backup from when the system was working correctly.& hope that it will do this sometimes it will tell you it can't.If it doesn't work just exit the scanreg screen .

Hey all: we are a democratic society but I think officially we are a republic/Like in the "Plege of Allegence".As for the 2 major parties they can call themselves what they like but are far away from the government of the founding fathers.They really have sold the people out.Their real agenda is to join the European Union & start a one world government.Thats why they work so hard to make laws to restrict our right to bear arms .This

24Kbps: I posted in your other simular topic.This awnsered my question about your Email.You can try the suggestions I made there.If you saved the Sygate download This maybe in your program files or C;windows.If you have it reinstall it & reboot.See if you can surf.If you still can't uninstall it again. Cholla

24Kbps:Just a place to start: Have you been tweaking the modem on this PC too? If so go back to your origional string temporarily.Does your Outlook Express work?If you use it.If you tweaked start from the last thing you tweaked & work backwards till the last time it was working.If you don't already do this you should keep notes on your tweaks all of the steps. On paper or print them so if you have a bad crash you have some info if you can't access it on your PC.I know this is like homework but sometimes very helpful.If you can't trace it back you could try Scanreg /restore to a registry when it was working.This should Take out any tweaks that were entered in the registry after that.The only problem with this is it will not always use the older restore.But you can try it if it doesn't work it won't hurt any thing it just won't fix anything either. Cholla

Hey Stank_Ho : I'm not trying to put words in your mouth.I'm cool too. Maybe I misunderstood.What I thought you were taking personal was that I started a political topic.One that had the potential for flaming.Of the type that you have seen One time too many. As for actual content say what you will the same as I have. Cholla

24Kbps: I don't know what os is on this PC so here is a generic solution for IE .In the IE window even if you get "page not found" select toolsinternet optionsProgramsReset Web Settings.push the reset web settings & reboot. Cholla

Stank_Ho : you seem to be taking this topic kind of personal.Only 13 voted so far but over 400 veiwed it so there must have been some interest.I don't think everyone in the free world knew what I wrote about France.According to the news I read & heard anything pro American is censored out of European newspapers.& I do realize this is the propaganda our media is giving us .Since I don't read or see European news I can't say this is correct for sure.If everone in the free world already

Hi all I'm shifting the thread a little to politics being discussed on the forum since this has been brought several times in this topic.My position is politics are frequently dicussed in forum topics.Every statement about Bush or any other politician for or against is politics.Any statement for or against any corporation doing business in America is politics because it is pro capitalism or anti-capitalism the American form of economy supported by our government.These are just 2 examples of politics I see on the forum.I am in favor of almost any topic being discussed in the general discussion part of the forum.Then members can support the topic or not.If the forum is limited to internet& computers only it is going to be pretty boring.I could be bored to another forum a lot easier than flamed to one. Back to the French if there are any French citizens that are forum members how about posting a current PRO-American artical from a French newspaper if you can find one.Post it in English since that is most probably the language of most of the forum members.I know I will have to translate it if you post it in French.If you post it in Spanish I can get a friend to help me translate it : If its in Chinese then I'm just not going to be able to read it. Cholla

Hey all: The flames did not get too hot.A little of everything gets on the forum at sometime or another.It got more flames at Cholla(me) than France.We have crooked politicians too no doubt about that.Ultimatly it has to be up to the citizens of the USA to correct our government.WE need more people like our founding fathers.We have become too apathetic not willing to lose what we have to straiten things out here.So a little freedom of speech exersized on a forum should not cause problems.As for going to another forum it would have to get a lot worse than this. So heres a quote from one of the patriots of the American revolution Patrick

Hey all: I posted this because I didn't want this to mess up another thread

That explains why they're full of crap.
