Mrg666 maybe you could start a thread on the hostage situation concerning the Brit sailors and marines from you point of view. Would be interested in hear the Brit perspective of things.
When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.
You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.
Hi, good to be here! I live in San Francisco, I'm in my early 30's, I have a cat, I work as a nutrition consultant/personal trainer. I'm into discussing almost anything, very much a dilletante, but I know a bunch about nutrition, fitness, films, and altered states.
Welcome aboard, Smurfette.
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."
Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)
Hope I'm not too late with the intro...
TheStripey1 tipped me off to this board. Although I'm almost always labeled as a liberal, the only true liberalism in me is when it comes to social issues (besides abortion, which is a whole other thread). In terms of fiscal policy I'm much more conservative - as in deficit spending should be small or nil. I don't want to give too much away here, as there's a lot more to me than meets the eye.

I found this board through a friend, liked what I saw, and thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm Geolibertarian, 44, male, from Nebraska. I'm a staunch conservative and a lifelong Republican whose proud of his country.
I supported and still support the war in Iraq, and I know that this President can win it, but that the liberals are holding him back. The way i see it is we've got to realize that we're not just fighting in iraq. This is a global war against a religious ideology bent on our destruction. It's the biggest threat we've faced and we've got to step up to the plate or lose it, and that's what we're doing.
I'm firmly against amnesty. If you're going to be in this country, you need to be here legally, you need to contribute, and you have to want to be here. You've gotta be an American.
On the social stuff I think its pretty simple. I'm strongly pro-life and 100% against queer marriage. I'm also sick and tired of watching my hardearned dollars being sent to welfare bums.
I'm proud of this president. He's been sidelined lately, but that's what happens when we let the cut-and-runners into Congress.
Anyway, I hope to have a good time and get to know you folks.

Personally I think Fidel Castro needs counseling!
