a thought to ponder....

....from a Progressive website here in PA:

On the day that LeBron James announced he was going to Miami, and the media and a couple of hundred million Americans sat in anticipation of the “Decision”, three British and two American soldiers and two UN workers were killed. American deaths in Afghanistan since the war began now total 1,171; about 6,700 have been wounded.

On the day that LeBron James announced he was going to Miami, and the media and a couple of hundred million Americans sat in anticipation of the “Decision”, at least 60 civilians died from bombs in Iraq; about 360 were wounded. Since the beginning of the American-led invasion of Iraq, 4,412 American soldiers have died; almost 32,000 have been wounded, according to Defense Department records. Civilian casualties are estimated at 110,000, according to the Associated Press. Other reliable sources place the totals well over a half-million civilian deaths from hostile action.

On the day of the “Decision”, if you added up the yearly salaries of only the American soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan since the wars began, they would not equal the money that LeBron James makes in just one year. And, that, more than anything else, says a lot about America.

Ya know, I'd take more time to ponder writings that make you (as in Slick) think, but you've posted so many words about absolutely nothing here that your pseudo intellectual rantings are laughable.

sounds to me like I posted something with some intellectual content and you're too lazy or too stupid to bother with it. No surprise there, based on recent performance. I see it's been in the 100 degree-plus range of late in Phoentx. Don't give up, try again to use your brain when cooler weather sets in. I have hope for you.

You're such a laughable putz. 100 degrees is the average here for half the year. It doesn't even phase me regardless of what I'm doing. However, it would kill you. Can't wait for your response. Prolly similar to some of your other dumbass responses ("I've been to Las Vegas")......................lol

you misspelled 'faze'. Look it up. Oh, and I mentioned the heat by way of explaining your recent conversion to a religion of complete stupidity, coupled with a near-obsessive level of posted ignorance. In other words, I tried to provide a sound excuse for your complete meltdown. Maybe you just are that stupid.

Nobody gives a shit about how much much money lebron makes...let alone, the progressive view point of it....unless your point was...to bitch about his new found wealth and possible entry into your "class of people".....if, that is true, it has racial overtones...........

no, the writer of which I quoted used LeBron, merely because of the hubbub over his 'decision' announcement.
The same could be said of Tom Brady or Alex Rodriguez, ethnicity is both beyond the point, and irrelevent to it. Try reading for comprehension, it might help you digest this sort of stuff.
