It's not India or China, it's oil prices.

This is the brutal black and white truth that because of Bush's foreign policies is the reason why food inflation soared.
Checks and balances is a lie, the only check and balance is greed, and fear.

NBC Warfare? I've never even heard of that TV show! Of course, it's hard for me to follow TV when I'm stoned all the time; instead, I mostly just stare blankly at the visualizations in Windows Media Player. I bet you understand--I mean, why else would you have the "bong" in your moniker?
So anyway, you wanna keep this personal or do you want to answer my original questions? Or maybe we could just drop the whole things. I don't like to pick intellectual fights with unarmed opponents.
No, I'm pretty sure ... ( 6 months ago by 161803)
No, I'm pretty sure NBC is a TV station. Let me go upstairs and double check with my parents...
