Whats the deal with all you liberals complaining about everything the government does? Do you have a better plan to keep us all safe? How would you feel if someone you loved died in a terrorist attack? We are at war in our own homeland DONT FORGET.

I know this has been asked before, but as the anniversary of 9/11 gets closer I wanted to reflect and remember that day.. so this is a two part question...
1~ What were you doing and can you remember that very moment vividly?
** I was at home babysitting and working on laundry when my hubby called..I was complete and udder shock and felt like the secure world I'd come to know was ripped apart.

2~ Do you still think about 9/11 and anything and everything to do with it and fight to not cry?
** I know I do, my heart breaks for all the families that lost loved ones, especially when I'm with my family for holidays.

I challange everyone..as the anniversary gets closer that we step back and realize that life is fragile and that we need to live life with no regrets.

Are Fox (obviously conservative) and CNN (owned by rabidly conservative AOL Time Warner) the only conservative voices on cable TV?

I heard that George Bush pushed to have these people arrested because of an imminent adn specific threat. Now I heard that they had no bomb parts, no airline tickets, no passports, they were just talking about the possibility of using liquid explosives. Is this true? Was Bush just wanting to look like he did something? Becuase this don't sound remotely similar to the media reports last week. I'm flying to NYC in a few days, so I'd really like to know what's going on in our skies!

Do you think that Andrea Yates is Menatally insane? Or just a frustrated mom? I think she is a frustrated mother, she had 5 children all under the age of 8, I have a hard time with 2. I think she needs to spend the rest of her life in prison thinking about what she did. And what's wrong with her ex-husband standing by her after she killed their children. What the hell? What do you guys think?

What exactly is with the people that seem to whine, day after day about not being able to bring liquids, computers, and other stuff onto airlines? Would a simple solution be just not to fly, and to actually obey the rules? Not that I really care, but does whining and complaining about not being able to bring restricted items onto an aircraft, mean you actually do want to blow up and die?

Why do we think we can stop the terrorists. Does anyone realize that we are willingly giving up our freedoms to think that we are safe. No gov't or scanner will be able to stop everything. Why are we all just rolling over and letting the Gov't do as they please all in the name of national security. You fly at your own risk duh!!! Is everyone ready to sue NASA if you get hit with a meteor. Yes we can make controls and should but somethigns are getting extreme. Comments anyone??

Hi I went shopping today, and my partner noticed that Cadbury Dairymilk Caramel 250g bars are now back in the shops, as they was recalled along with a few other bars, as Cadbury had a salmonela risk due to a leaky pie, now they failed to report this only month's later, as a result they ordered a recall of all the affected bars, anyway I am pleased that they are now back, as that is my favourite brand of chocolate, and did I miss it, how many of you out there missed munching on this bar of chocolate?
I would like to hear your views on this matter!

That whole stuff about the "axis of evil" sure pissed off N. Korea and Iran, and what better way than for them to prove Mr. Bush right for the past 4 years...

Now we have the following statement from Mr Bush...I am told this guy read the Bible twice...what, while drunk? Time for everything under the sun...when to keep quiet(and NOT fuel MORE hatred towards the west!)

I think our real threat(the west) is in how we influence the rest of the world, and how morally, ethically, and culturally bankrupt we really are.

Look at the way WE live...

1. We are obssesed with sex. A woman cannot even breast feed discreetly in public without people freaking out!

2. We abort children as a matter of convenience, not neccesity.

3. 67% of us drink to get DRUNK, not to enjoy a single beer or glass of wine

4. We drive monster cars/suvs(because we can't FIT in a economy car)

5. We are disengaged from our children, because no one is home to care for them(latch-key kids)

6. More than half of us getting married will end up in divorce court.

7. We are GROSS consumers at best, snapping up stuff just for the sake of feeling that we saved some $$$(while we spiral further into debt).

8. We now have to modify our apperance through cosmetic surgery(and hence do not look what we use to look like...any one seen Kenny Rodgers lately)

Thoughts please?

If they were any more victorious, Hezzbollah would already be back in Syria!

Will peace & civility & sanity & respect ever rule in the middle east?

This video contained a guy with a ridiculously high-pitched voice. it had a video of a fish with human-like teeth he caught. It was hilarious because of the guy, his voice, and how excited he was to be on camera. If anyone has seen this video or knows where to find it please let me know. thanks

I don't get it. What do terrorists such as Al Quaida, Taliban, Hamas or Hezbollah hope to accomplish? If they wipe out the rest of the world, then what?
