The following is the list of all the programs Bush plans to eliminate for 2006. After reading this I really can't see how anyone who isn't wealthy and has a brain could even think to continue to support Bush :roll: It's long but I highlighted some important ones that particulary affect us and our future families. Being from DC this is particularly important because I know a lot of our parents work for the government and as yall can see he wants to cut quite a few of the governent departments.

Oh wow lol. I really do think I need to take a trip to Southern Italy because I have yet to see with my own two eyes a "dark skinned" Italian. That would be an interesting find. Now what you refer to as "having darker skin than people on this board", is that what is considered olive skinned / having an olive complexion? Just wondering. And oh yea, this thread has been beyond corrupted lol.
how did this turn into a color thread?
thunder, it's ok, some of us won't call u white anymore.............
but ummm, u can't call me black okay...................
I'm cherokee, blackfoot, dutch, basian, and japanese........ mmkay?
There is a fine line between nationality and race. I'm Italian/Italian, Nez Perce, Arikara. You are American/African, dutch, japanese, Blackfoot (they are still alive?), Cherokee.

ummmm, I'm not african american.....................
But I am in no means a disrespectful person so I will never call you white again, k?...
I shall call you Wonder. Wonder Boy, yes.
GENIUS. Apparently I gave you too much credit to your actual worth. If your going to label someone white for subjective purposes, why would you pick one of the darkest ones? Because you sure as hell didn't call me 'white' for any other reason.
BTW, you have not stated not ONE THING about Southern Italians that is correct. Moreso stated anything.
And your definition of white is so minscontrued I haven't seen anything that could be possibly dumber. What entails I'm white? My skin color? Well, I can find black/white mixed people a whole helluva lot lighter than me...guess they are white also. My ethinicity? Are you really that stupid? About 20% of Italy has darker skinned people than people on this board, guess they are 'white' too? But if white only entails skin color or ethnicity, why often do people say 'he is actin white' when he clearly isn't?
So, until you can get your head out of your **** and can define a simple statement as to why it pertains to me and not others, keep talking about my 'ignorance', or simply leave me alone. :mrgreen:
Hmmmm............................
Why are you so hung up about being called white? Please get over yourself.
Did I say whether you were black or white was based solely on skin color? I DEFINITELY dont recall saying so. The presence of African roots determines if you are black in MY BOOK. Calm yo **** down and get your **** out the bunch theyre in!

I will definitely leave you alone, Wonder boy. Obviously we are both very opinionated and can not be swayed.... BUT it was fun discussing this with you! 8)
