What would your causes be?

writersu

If you could develop some causes, some not really well known ones, what would they be?

Here are a couple of mine...........


1. Please free Michael Vick and restore his career; and put his cousin in jail.

2. Please tell the envrionmentalists that drilling in Alaska is better than paying $4 a gallon for gas.

3. Please tell P.I.T.A. to leave me alone at the circus.........

PETA. People for the ethical treatment of animals.

libragirl

With all due respect, am more interested in the preservation of our wildlife then driving a bigass gas guzzler and living in a gigantic mansion...but that is only my opinion. As for PETA, I admit they are extreme..but the friggin circus is cruel. Now if only I could be a vegetarian...:o

These 2 things I feel strongly about.


1. If I had the expertise and the money I would research and find a cure of cancer.

2. If i had the resources I would create a compound for all unwanted and abused animals.

3 Campaign to stop Norwegian doctors called Spulgen Wankjesmoorg interfering in what people eat/inhale/inject/absorb transdermally, and to stop miserable Scots prime ministers knocking down drinking holes and replacing them with bloody workplaces.

ok, with my tail between my legs here you got me; yes, after all of the "pita" comments of which I did not get (I am Greek, so only one type of pita for me) I will say that I have valid points but need to get the spelling correct. maybe that speaks of my ignorance on subjects , living subjects that are unimportant to me.

Michael Vick is screwed due to his cousin betting on dog fighting......

Ok let's pay all the more for gas, make the assholes from foreign countries richer, but heaven forbid; do not cut my trees, dammit (kind of like "take the kids but LEAVE ME MY MONKEY!")...

And, uh, ok, unless they make collagen or can help Pam Anderson's plastic surgery causes, please leave those beautiful creatures out of the hateful circus, etc.

Because dear people, when we are distracted by all of this personal arguments, when we are given the "smoke and mirrors", then we are powerless to change the real issues in the world, i.e., teen pregnancy, drug addiction, mental break down, family deterioration, economic heartship, etc. because we are too tired to really tackle the things we can change.

I'd create a cause against your second cause. But that already exists. So I'd copy it, I guess.

if i had *tons* of cash:

- start a research fund to help find cures for cancer and AIDS

- buy out huge parcels of land and empty out local animal shelters and give them a place to live, have people live and work there to help take care of them

- architectural preservation

I never said you should pay more gas money...I said we should conserve...use bikes, trains...etc...

LOL...you think the gas prices will drop by simply doing this stupid offshore drill operation Bush is calling for? I'll be probably be 50-years-old by then and we'll definitely have more advance and more eco-friendly vehicles by then.

One of the things I really like about the message pit is that if I keep my mind open, I always learn something new. So, I humbly, (is that a word?) thank you for the new info.

please know that I am just hear to discuss things and learn new things and one of the things I always learn new is that I don't know all there is to learn.

Agreed as an immigrant myself, I absolutely hate immigrants(both legal and illegal) who come here and takes advantage of our system. Love this this country, learn the English language, follow the law and contribute back to the community.

English really isn't that hard, my mother was 31 when we came here and she speaks good enough to buy a car and house with her name; no co-payment at or anything. She got a thick accent but does have good credit and that's all it matters. Funny thing is, people probably understand her better than Southerners. LOL.

And you know,LongRd, I have to say that I am quite defensive when people say things against (in my area the attacks would be of a verbal nature to Hispanics). I only would like to see them adapt our language instead of us adapt theirs. But my ex husband's family had owned a roofing company when my father in law was alive. And when it was really going, there were a lot of white men who did the job alongside the hispanics. But then what happened is the white guys ( I am not making this up), got older, got sick because 90% of the roofers would go drinking in these little dive shot and beer bars, while 90% of the hispanic men went home. SO, the white guys got themselves beaten down from a job that already beats you down.
My point is this......(I almost forgot I did have a point) is that a lot of jobs some Americans complain that the Hispanic people are taking from us, are jobs that the Amercans might not even want. Me included; so I am not being hypocritical.

I respect all people. I only disrespect those who have no respect for others.

Oh yeah I have no problem with those making a hard living. And we can't just blame the immigrants them selves neither, we should also put more blame on the people who are hiring them. I know people who hire them under the table and paying them under the state minimum wage.

It's sad something to see people curse and bitch out the immigrants but then hearing about how they are taken advantaged of is sad as well. :(

Deport all illegal aliens. (They are called ILLEGAL for a reason)

Drill to get more oil. This country is getting overly afraid to do anything. One question, why should we conserve? What, specifically, are we low on?

Do not get pregnant if you cannot afford the $6k it costs in doctor/hospital expenses.... How can you afford a child if you can't even afford the medical bill?

I've always felt sorry for the guy who manned the radar station at Pearl Harbor on December 6th & 7th 1941.

In the movie Tora Tora Tora, he is portrayed as a bungling idiot who allowed a whole crapload of enemy planes fly right into the harbor without sounding the alarm.

The little-known truth of the matter is that he was a brand-spanking new radar tower operator who knew little about reading radar signatures.

What's more is that he was told that whenever the radio station plays a certain kind music, it means that a friendly resupply force would flying in the next morning.

I forgot what kind of music it was, but it was playing that night even though that resupply force was not making its way to Pearl Harbor the next morning.

In fact, although he did not sound a general alarm, he did alert his superiors to suspicious radar signatures, and he was told to not worry about it.

Because of the movie Tora Tora Tora, he was hated by a whole generation of Americans who believed he was responsible for the deaths of all those American sailors.

yeah, most people can't. that's why we have health insurance (if we are lucky to).

I am sorry but in all due respect, I don't think anyone should pay $6k for the hospital on something as (usually) routine as having a baby.
