Regarding your answer:
Yeah, we do get pretty peeved at not having live service in bad weather or high wind. And lately Dish has been acting up, offering weird error messages followed by “We know this is a problem, please don’t call, etc.”

Thanks!

Regarding your answer:
We get regular R&R visits by the US military in Fremantle, the main Port for Perth where ships make stopovers. They call into regional ports as well, and I must say they always leave a good impression according to our local press.
I admit I’ve seen some ugly Scottish people in my time but it was when soccer hooliganism was at it’s height…
I guess there is a bad element in all groups some just do it better than others…
I really like the positive attitude in most responses, good on you all.

That would be a start.
I just don’t get all this negativity with the economic crash.
Let’s just get something positive going and a bit of head down bum up!
A bit of hard work might just do us all some good.
And maybe start to think of others less fortunate and give them a wee bit of support.

  After watching a reality show or drama, do you feel like you're living it?

  The new administration just broke three cardinal rules of leadership, don't you think?

  @tinyfaery : Yes, you do. Some people just do not know when to shut up and keep their inflammatory crap to themselves.

  @dalepetrie : Being brainwashed for a lifetime is hard to erase. On both sides the ones that get the ink are the ones that scream the loudest. I like Obama, I think that a lot of “way left liberals” that voted for him are going to be largely disappointed and I think that the “way right conservatives” that are throwing a fit are going to be disappointed also (for different reasons though). It would be nice if both ends could see the middle. It’s all kinda like the gun control issue, abortion, racial, religious, and environmental issues, if everyone would meet in the middle and try to work out something that would be the best for the most, problems solved. But, as long as each side is entrenched and throwing barbs, refusing to give, nothing will be accomplished and we will sink a bit deeper into this pit. I would love to see a third party actually work, a lot have tried and a lot have failed. A right now happening is I think an example of the different cultures and different ideals of this nation. Would New Orleans after Katrina have been different if the people of Fargo ND lived there instead of the ones who do? In Fargo, everyone…. school kids, people from neighboring towns, anyone able bodied, got off their butts and worked their asses off to prepare, they did not stand on the streets and hollar for the government to bail them after the fact. They did not hollar for help in preparation, they rolled up their sleeves and got to work, did what they could even though it’s cold n nasty. That’s a tribute as to how I think it should be, we take care of ourselves and our own. If…. we need a bit of extra help, we’ll ask, but most of the time it’s handled without big brother. Therein lies (in my opinion) a part of the conservative-liberal divide. We are fiercely independent and self sufficient, we are therefore labeled as ultra conservative. We are proud that we are who we are. Lurve your posts I forgot to add this… Rush is a raving lunatic, worse than any liberal I can think of.

  @dalepetrie : All good and valid points, I agree. Too many people have a picture of a conservative in their minds just as I have a picture of a liberal in mine that may not fill the bill. You, my friend, do not fit the descrption of liberal (at least not in my mind). You may not be a conservative either, geeee, maybe what you are espounding is what we need. I agree with your views 100% so far. Shouting, chest pounding and name calling such as unconservative one serves no one. You are the most conservative minded liberal I have come into contact with, most on this site want the government to supply their every need whether they are willing to work for it or not. As you, I think that if they are dead wood and are capable of working of working but choose not too, then let em starve and freeze to death. If they are willing and are trying, give em help. Guns….. the gun toting fanatics are shooting themselves in the foot. Give up people killing weapons… why do you need one anyway?? If they would give a little, maybe we could keep our sporting rifles, they’re gonna keep fighting this till all guns are taken away. I hope your wishes about Obama are true, I wish him well too. It would be great to have a president that genuinely cared about the grunts and worked for them tirelessly instead of caving in. We’ll see. Bush didn’t even know that the price of gasoline was over $3 a gallon, how people were stupid enough to elect him once was beyond me, but to do it again????? Anyway, just let me know when you are running for president, you have my vote.
