Excerpt from President Roosevelt's January 11, 1944 message to the Congress of the United States on the State of the Union

It is our duty now to begin to lay the plans and determine the strategy for the winning of a lasting peace and the establishment of an American standard of living higher than ever before known. We cannot be content, no matter how high that general standard of living may be, if some fraction of our people—whether it be one-third or one-fifth or one-tenth—is ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill-housed, and insecure.

This Republic had its beginning, and grew to its present strength, under the protection of certain inalienable political rights—among them the right of free speech, free press, free worship, trial by jury, freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. They were our rights to life and liberty.

As our nation has grown in size and stature, however—as our industrial economy expanded—these political rights proved inadequate to assure us equality

Is it a lacking of courage? cowardice?
Do they not see some kind of integrity in their beliefs by doing this?

No, I'm not mocking at other people and am not talking about myself. I'm just wondering about the point to which our determination goes and tries to accomplish our desires. When it is about a good thing (professional goals, etc) we become lazy or are just not comitted enough. So, what happens if a bad thing (this case) comes along and by doing what I have said we accomplish something good (the end of our suffering)?
Why not taking the last step?....
What is it that keep us hanging but we are just simply doing nothing?

Let's take for instance these cases: some unemployed people in his 50s with no bright future ahead, an elderly man in his 80s and bored to hell about life...

Non religious answers will be appreciated

Hello

Ok i was close to buying a ps3 off play.com, its the 40GB model for £280.00, however i then noticed it said
"Please Note! This model is not backward compatible with PS2 games."

Now im basically wanting to know if this is true or not ? My mates tell me that there is an update available when you buy it allowing you to play many ps2 games, is this true ?

Or is it only the 60GB model that has backwards compatibility ?

Please only answer if you are sure or if you own a ps3 and have knowledge on it !

Many Thanks ppl !

It seems that politicians or even normal civilians can't make any anti-immigration arguments without being acused of racism, politicians are scared now of voicing the peoples concerns over this incase they get braned as racist. This seems abit rediculous to me, why can't we have the right to choose who comes into our country?

Am I racist because I'm proud to be British?

I was pondering...If you have two dogs both are two years old and grew up together, if you send one to obediance training and not the other, would the trained dog influence the untrained dog or vice versa?

I would definitely send both, but I was just curious.

I've had 4 over the years. Three were men, but the most aggressive was the woman. The last man got me b/c I was stupid. I was waiting for the metro bus for the quick trip into DC to take care of my boss' passport. Apparently, there had been an accident, and we wouldn't be able to get into DC for 1 1/2 hrs. I left a message for my boss asking if I should wait, or go back to the office and left her my cell phone number. Two days later some guy called me up telling me had listened to my call and wrote down my number. He wanted me to move in with him and all kinds of crazy stuff. I kept seeing him everywhere, parked across the street. Even though I thought I was sneaky, he still found out where I lived. I finally got the police involved and moved. Got a new cell phone, too. Stalkers are really scary and make you extremely paranoid! So what's YOUR stalker story?
