Is it possible that some people from the 911 tragedies are still alive and faked their deaths to collect on insurance money. Or maybe they wanted to make a new life for themselves ,get out of a bad marriage or escape debt? I wonder if this possiblity has ever been explored .
Of course some one would have to take on a new identity,and start a new life but I think it is possible what do you think?
Or is this just a good idea for a new movie or a fiction novel?

Stupidity is one thing the US has a lot of nowadays, besides debt. It is all over the place in huge amounts. Listen to Bush talk, stupidity. Listen to the democrats talk, stupidity. Go on the Internet, stupidity. Television, stupidity. Read the papers, stupidity. Talk to your fellow workers, stupidity. On answers.yahoo.com, stupidity. Your spouse, more stupidity. Your kids, obnoxious offensive stupidity. Christian, Jewish stupidity; you name it, we got it!
How can we package this stupidity in nice wrapping paper, put a red ribbon on it, and sell it? Americans are good at selling things, can this be sold too? Can we sell it to the Arabs for oil? Or Israel for weapons and vetoes on the UN Security Council? (On second thought, after this war with Lebanon, maybe Israel has enough stupidity of its own. We can charge more for HIGH OCTANE stupidity!) Or to China for Wal-Mart junk? Can we sell it for Supreme Court seats? Or cabinet level positions in government?
Oh, the possibilities!

I am a retired Special Forces NCO. I am considering going back overseas as a "High Risk" security contractor. My kids are very angry. Even my oldest son is unhappy and he is an active duty soldier currently in Special Forces training. I figured he would understand. As younger people what do you think?

I was thinking of donating to mental health research, programs developing third world countries, and the SPCA. I recently spoke with my doctor and mentioned the whole Stephen Hawking news that has to do with space exploration. He thought it would be a good idea to explore our inner space, like developing sustaining our lives in water. Good idea? I think it is.

Please hear me out, before you decide to hurl abuse at me.

What if all that you have heard and witnessed in the media is a lie?
Let's say the so called Jihadiz/terrorists are angry at us and want to blow us up.. do we seek to investigate why or ask our governments why they might be angry?
But we rather kill them right? besides... it's either them or us right?

What if they did not commit the crimes our governments have us believe?
Governments lie and deceive about virtually everything else, so what makes them exempt from what they tell us about the war of terror?

Do we listen because we don't have a choice?
We just want to be left alone and get on with our normal lives?

Our existence and safety is paramount?

Do our governments know this and play on this?
Maybe we should start to question our Leaders and demands proper answers since it us we the people who have elected and it is we the voters who should be heard and feared not the other way round.

The UK JTAC (joint terrorism analysis centre) terror threat level is still at the Critical (Red) level, which means "an attack is expected imminently". So all of you people complaining about the restrictions on luggage might want to think twice. THIS IS NOT OVER. There are reports that 5 of the plotters might still be at large. Are you scared? Maybe you should be.

And what general moral/ethical rule would that be that can be claimed justifying the act of knowingly continuing to kill innocents "by accident" on a continuous basis? I challenge both sides-Jewish Zionist and Arab Hezbollah in particular to respond to this ethics Q rationally. Others are also invited to respond constructively!

Do u think the guys arrested in the UK had a plan B and that we are still in danger? What do u think about the fact that the Pakistani government warned the UK about the plot, do u think that was pretty decent of them? I do.They could have just let it go ahead.
