I had a cust today to was trying to replace her old Ericson phone with a new Nokia 3560. I first had the cust try to get into the menu to program the phone, after 5 mins of confusion, I realised the cust had not turned the phone on yet. I told the customer to turn the phone on, but she could not find the power button. I instructed her that it would be on the very top of the phone. After 5 more mins of arguing, the customer said that there was no power button on this phone. I told her it would probably be a clear or white color. Customer replies by saying the only thing on the top of the phone is a set of plug-in ports. I informed cust she was looking at the bottom of the phone. It took 5 more mins before customer could figure out which part ...

It's as simple as that.

Clinton is certainly not my favorite president. I didn't like his policies and I voted for the other candidates twice. One difference between me and the democrat of today. I got over my party's loss to a person of Clinton's stature. I endured those 8 years and am presently very thankful that his boy AlGore didn't get an opportunity to continue the "legacy".

Obviously, if the proportion of democrats commenting here in support of Clinton is the same as the democratic ratio in the rest of the country, your people didn't come out to vote...

The problem with Clinton's flaws is that they were felonious in nature. Lieing about sex I have no problem with. Lieing about sex UNDER OATH I do have a problem with. No matter how you slice it: if you are under oath and you lie...about anything...age, sex, weight, crimes, anything...you commit perjury. Perjury is a felony. If you commit a felony, you cannot run for or occupy political office. It's that easy. Black and white.

Morality aside, I could care less if Clinton had a freakin' orgy in the oval office. All I care about is that he lied to a federal independent counsel under oath to tell the truth. That much is proveable. That's why he was impeached: perjury not sex.

The problem with eductation is simple: quit just throwing money at the problem. The U.S. spends more money per student than any other nation in the world. So obviously money is not the problem. The problem is apathetic educators for the most part. I went to public school and had a great experience, took many classes that wouldn't have been available in other schools in the area. Why is that? My school district didn't get more dollars per student than the other schools in the city... The problem is poor management decisions.

It implies that the state of the country has reached 90%, of it's previous 100%...

Mathematically speaking you cannot measure percentages without a constant. In this case the only constant we have to go by would be Iraq's previous state. We would equal that constant to 100%... Anything non-existent would be variable... To measure a percentage based on variables would develop inaccurate results e.g. 35% when the constant would measure 70% etc... To have a credible percentage to use in this discussion you would have to agree that the constant was Iraq's previous state and any variables involved could only be measured in excess (over 100%).

Correct...as I recall it (revisionist histroy excluded) we only supplied our allies with supplies (iron ore, copper, etc.). At least until this tiny little incident called Pearl Harbor. That is the act that lead the US into war. America was hesitant to go to war after WW I because we saw how costly WW I was. If Japan had not decided to attack us (and there is historical evidence they tried to recall the attack, but were too slow to get the message delivered) we might not have gotten into WW II until Britain fell or was close.

Tell me that they don't sound just like Bush did a couple of years ago. The argument then becomes "well...well...Bush went and DID something about it...Clinton lobbed a cruise missile at an aspirin factory to LOOK like he did something!"

This discussion is pointless because the DEMOCRATIC leadership called the shots the SAME way in 1998. The only thing that changed is that 4 years passed and a Republican president is saying...

For all that disagree and think this was "invented" by the bush administration I submit the following for your approval:

Like I have said before: NOTHING has changed. It was shown that the entire intelligence community was incorrect, but the president was just acting on what they had to go on at the time--BOTH of them!

Wow, you must be American, because I never heard anyone else try so hard to justify his actions. So, you feel that Bush is better? Becaus ehis daddy breeded him from birth to despise Saddam and like a brainwashed ant with no mind, waltzed thru this life, then , in some deranged twist of fate, became president, only to claim an illegal war on...who? You guessed it. I'm glad to see Saddam gone, but there are international laws for a reason. An ALL should comply. The U.S. president is not above the LAW. I would be fine with it all if I was not convinced that his alterior motive to invading Iraq was to fix his daddy's mitakes. Pathetic.Oh, and if Clinton WAS listening to what the people wanted, isn't that what his job is? A voice for the people?...

Now, really...raised him from birth to despise Sadaam? Give me a break. And you obviously haven't done any research on Bush's back ground have you...yeas, he may have had a better upbringing than most but he didn't just "waltz" through life. The war wasn't illegal, as mentioned before it was a resuming of hostilities since Desert Storm never oficially ended. As I stated before, my father and my whole family were stationed in Turkey as support for the cease-fire enforcement. Thus, it was legal. That's what the resolutions were all about...hostilities would not be resumed IF he complied, he failed, they resumed.

That is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard... I'm glad your family has been serving in wars for 300 years... I'm glad you've got the american flag tattooed on your forehead... But the fact of the matter is that afghan was the initiative... Bush figured since we're already at war... Why not bomb Iraq too?

And all your ceasefire violations... Though it may be very likely that it was saddam's regime that had broken the ceasefire... there's no proof... Iraq tanks did not go to US stations and start bombarding for three days straight... So regardless of the likelihood... It's not definite that it was Saddam's Regime... Also, I highly doubt that we have upheld our end of the ceasefire 100% of the time... I mean... How humane our own US...

Have you read reports from the pilots that were enforcing the no-fly zones? There was rarely a time when the planes were not "painted" by SAM sites or harassed by MiGs from the Iraqi air force. Under international law, it is absolutely legal for a pilot to return fire if he is fired upon as happened with the MiG encounters. The SAM sites were located IN the no-fly zone, a violation of the agreement. As far as our soldiers being humane...I would take my chances surrendering or being captured by the US forces over ANY other in the world. Why? Because we ARE the most humane in our treatment of prisoners. Need I remind you of the treatment of POWs by the Viet Cong? Or how about the conditions of mid-eastern prisons, let alone the conditions they...

One thing i've learned over my years is that it's pointless to argue with any gun-ho tomahawk missile hugger... Anybody with a mind would choose reason...

Any military driven individual who still thinks it's okay to Nuke 4 million people will always find a way to justify War... I've accepted war is unavoidable... But as pointless as Vietnam was so is this war on Iraq.

There is no good in war... You can never justify it... The only thing you can hope to accomplish in war is honor... and there is nothing honorable about Iraq.

I think cheating on a person, when you are such an important person (of all things) is very important. Definatly a sign of his character, not that that matters, but it does lead to other important things.. okay im starting to not make sence. But i know you know what i mean.

I think lying and/or cheating is required to be in such an important position. It's how they get elected, it's how we avoid wars, and how we avoid paying our deficit. Politics is lying, and I'd rather have a smooth talker who's been in the pants of everyone than someone who can barely put on their own pants.

I would rather a politician get some oral sex on the side and NOT round people up to be held indefinately without trial or access to counsel, who doesn't involve his armed forces in unwinnable wars, or gut the public treasury to benefit war profiteers like Haliburton.
Dunno, I guess I am just funny that way.

yea i agree with you. while cheating on your wife is inexcusable for someone in public office, most people in that power are smart enough not to get caught. if clinton was never exposed we would think hes great, adn really care less about his other faults. as far as the war goes... clinton acted in acordance with un doctrine and supported the un and nato in its endevours. bush basiclly went on a vengence/power trip and ignored the UN and nato. for that i call him a warmonger. did sadam need to be taken out? yes. was iraq in trouble? yes... were they making wmds? who the heck knows. i sure dont. i agree with the results...just not the way he did it. the end does not justify the means. that is why bush should be tried as a war criminal and be ...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. It blows my mind that these people are able to sustain full time jobs, and have the brain power to walk into a store, or dial a toll free number, and go through the entire process of initiating a wireless account.It surprises me that they know how to dial a number, let alone, dial from memory, and not a scrap peice of paper. I had 7 hillbillies in the South having so hard of a time programming a NOKIA (the most basic) that after 25 minutes, I had to refer them to the store. HA 🤣
