Comment: I just wanted to comment on the Dr. Pepper boycott article. Who ever wrote the actual "fact" part of it seems to be a selfish person along with the rest of the people trying to boycott a company for doing what is constitutionally right. The constitution says to seperate church and state for a good reason and that reason is that some people do not have the same religious beliefs which is a right they have in this country. You trying to force your religion on others is ABSOLUTELY NO better than them excluding something about it. Plus the company NEVER said the part about "under g-d" in the pledge of allegiance offended THEM...it was just excluded for the respect of the minority that does not believe in the same or any G-D. So how about before boycotting something for this kind of reason you open your minds up just a fraction and start thinking about other peoples rights rather than just your own. Let's think about it like this WHAT IF...just WHAT IF (and work with me here, actually think about it)you did not believe in something....lets say for example ALLAH and they plastered it all over some product that you enjoyed would you still buy it?? So how about instead of putting ALLAH on there they just leave it diverse. Wouldn't that make more sense and be more respectful? Wow never thought of it that way before? Well now you can...I say next time open your mind a little before spouting things out. Thank you for your time and have a LOVELY weekend.

I know how this person feels; I asked the insurance company to pay for an ovarian cancer test for me, and they said, "That's not covered by your policy, sir."

Comment: I am a young American male, not out to change the world or rewrite the rules of politics and free speech or your rights as a "reporter". But I just want to know why folks, such as your selves can slap the president of the USA in the face with words of hate and contempt when you have never done an equal or better job than he at ruling the greatest nation in the world. I hear folks every day complain that he i sa bad president, yet the majority of Americans voted him in to office. I wonder how much that man could accomplish if the entire country were to get behind him and support him. No matter what his name or political affiliation. Just imagine a president not slain by the people he is trying to help, and supported by them instead. I wonder how long it would take for this country to be come the greatest nation ever in the past, present, and future. Not just, know as the free country who hates its leaders.

Considering how much damage he is doing with only half his country's support, I shudder to think what he would do with more of it.

I don't mind ANY search for a lost child anywhere but all of us who forwarded this plea for information which we all thought was being collected and forwarded to authorities in search of this child or to this child's parents has initiated a barrage of other mail which is clogging up OUR personal mail boxes.
This is just not right.
Most of us are on Do Not Call lists for our phone, etc. and, I would hate to think that I would have to permanently block any of my friends simply because they aren't aware of an honest mistakethey made via internet.
Your prompt attention to this matter will be greatly appreciated and I will pass it along to my friends as well.

So, basically no one except past presidents are allowed to hold opinions about the governance of America?
I wonder how this guy reacts to criticism about Bush from Clinton and Carter...you know, two guys who DID do "an equal or better job than he at ruling the greatest nation in the world"?

Comment: If you like Venezuela so much why don't you take your happy ass down there to live. All of you bleeding heart liberals want to live in this country and bash it because the constitution gives you the right but you hate it so much that you continue to live here. It is nice to finally have a president in office that has a back bone and follows through on what he tells potential enemies of our government. If you don't want to be with this country then go live in a socialist government where you have to rely on the government to provide you with the things you need or where the people only make 30 - 40 dollars a month you piece of shit.

Comment: WE ARE NOT changing our address. Why not you say. We tried to hook up Sprint DSL via Earthlink. We had a Sprint Tech here for Two Hours yesterday. We had A Tech here for 3 1/2 hrs. 0n Wednesday. When the man left yesterday he needed help & was going to have a Tech call us today for another visit. She did not call. Our Answer Machine had a message last nite from Sprint saying all was o.k. with the Install. NOT SO. Today we called Sprint to say enough is enough. Sounds crazy doesn't it? Sorry about all the confusion we may have caused. We will find A high speed connection to our liking ..

Comment: From the article regarding a claim that key words from a quote by Roosevelt were omitted on the WWII Memorial: Your writer comments, "Ironically, this claim appears to be based on a flawed recall of FDR's speech, the very sort of tampering with memory that the message warns us against." OUCH! THAT WRITER SKEWS THE TRUTH, DOING DISSERVICE TO SNOPES.COM. Actually, it wasn't a flawed memory of the speech at all if the engraved quotation had been the one it was purported to be. You did well by including the full speech, clarifying that to the careful reader. But it takes careful reading, not a quick scan. Your writer needs to use his / her words more carefully. Tampering with FACTS is precisely what we depend upon Snopes.com to reveal. Then your own writer tampered with the FACTS in this case by careless wording. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the Washington Times (4 June 2004) article you cited failed to check their facts, the actual engraving. Possibly, the original fault lies squarely at the door of that newspaper. I listened to Roosevelt's speech December 8, 1941. I remember, I remember. How it hit us, the knowledge of war, our war, the knowledge that our lives were forever changed. Now I don't care one bit which quote is actually used on the WWII Memorial, but I do care that careless or self-serving comments--from any direction--are made about the WWII Memorial, especially in print. We depend upon Snopes.com to be exceedingly circumspect, as any watchdog must be.

Comment: Comment: i you guys are against marilyn manson then just live your damn lives. his life shouldnt be your concern if hes THAT bad. and your just picking out the bad things. there are other people in the world that are like him to. dont just judge a person from the things they do. i bet he has tons of good qualities to him. it isnt his fault that he is the way he is. everyone is there own person and if you dont like him then thats your on opinion. sure some things he do is bad but not everything is bad. he is an ispiration to us from his music. and those people who do the things like he sings about in his songs that claim to be fans arent fans. a real fan like him for who he is and his music. they dont kill themselves or whatever. they are followers who deserve to die. so do us fans a favor stop obsessing over people who you dont like and leave the guy alone! if your so interested in telling people to not listen and be against him then you must like him deep down to have such an interst with him.

Comment: Bravo, for speaking up for the protection of our species. I truly do believe that it is morally wrong to shed innocent blood. Nothing is more innocent that a baby, no matter what stage of life it is in. A cell is either alive or dead. It is either a plant cell, animal, human etc., but if it is a human cell.....that is just what it is...human. No wonder other cultures think so little of us and think we are morally sick. We are. Our children are ripped from the safety of their mother's wombs, our little ones are exploited, abused and corrupted. So many live their lives in fear, pain, and dispair. We are big on treating symptoms and big on wanting easy fixes, but, we either pay our dues now or later. We will pay, individually and/or as a society. We have freedom to choose our actions, but not the consequences of those actions.

Comment: I as a wife and mother, in association with other young wives and mothers, am extremely offended by hte way this site handels the the role of women in marriage. This is highlighted by you sneering opinion of the article on rules for housewives. The model it sets forth for the behavior and priorities of a house wife is correct and a quiite luadable goal for the woman who strive to be the proverbs 31 woman. ( book of proverbs ch 31 from the bible). If the woman has followed the guidance of the lord she will have married a man who " loves her as his own felsh" who cherishes her and leads his family. My friends and i have all followed the Lords guidance and find ourselves thrilled to be in submission to our husbands. They always seek the cousel of the Lord before taking action and never hurt abuse or brlittle us. they appreciate the we take care of them. We as woman are their soft place to fall at the end of a grueling day. We as thier wives are their refuge and i am proud to be that for my husband. He gives us a home food shelter. I have things i want and need, our children are happy. If this is the price for following the suggested rule for beign a good wife then i will gladly accept theat price. You forget if a woman does her job in choosing a husband submission to him will never be a problem. My friends Liza , Jessica and myself all do our best to be ecxellent wives. Next time please consider the opinion of myself and others like me before making deriding remarks about a woman's role.
