Hope this is not a repost.. but I figured that it would be a service to all of you to post this.

That is a brilliant and beautiful commercial. I think that lots of people who have had the fortune to never be a part of a car accident fail to fully understand the magnitude of forces involved. I know a guy who, while riding in my car once, told me "Your car has lots of airbags, I don't need a seatbelt."
The W203 is a safe choice, but you cannot take advantage of Mercedes' long and storied history of safety innovations if you don't start with the absolute basics.

Infantry:
As you probably could guess, I've got problems with the Iraq stuff politically. But there is nothing political about supporting the troops, regardless of where they may go. So, as Mike said, thank you for your selfless service to our country.

Agreed. 
I remember being really worried about drafts when I was younger. I did very well in high school on the test (I can't recall what it is called!) and got lots of calls from recruiters, which was somewhat intimidating as well. Seeing as though I'd had re-constructive knee surgery, am an only child/last of bloodline, and am gay.. I figured I was safe. Maybe that's cowardly, but I couldn't do it. I'll be the first to admit, I couldn't do what you did - I am neither physically nor emotionally capable. A lot of people like to paint liberals like myself as though being anti-war is the equivalent to anti-troops, which is not true. I never lose sight of the price of freedom, though I may disagree on how freedom is best protected. I am grateful for those, like you, that pay heavy prices to make sure that people like myself and those I care deeply about can live our lives as safely and freely as we can.

Funny thing is that:
I use Firefox as my browser.
In the google search bar, top right:
-if I type in Freedom for a search.
I get an error page.
-if I type in Communism for a search.
I get a funny definition.
Censorship sucks massive ***.
My school VPN doesn't even get around this problem =.=
I have to pay like $5~25 to get a private VPN server outside of China, and this "might" work.. All to get onto youtube and facebook. Lol.

Oh, a surf bouncer! I just resorted to emails and itouch texts to communicate with my friends in the United States. Didn't feel like giving my credit card out to some shady corporation with terrible grammar. If you read the description of these companies, it takes 48 hours to activate, etc, because live personel are handling/processing your credit card info.
