So..who hates America & Botch(Bush) here?

I'm soooo fed up of all the tactics america's using just to get SOME OIL.. bombing all the arab countries.. what will they get??.. why does it have to prove the world that she's the strongest?!.. I mean.. nobody would get antyhin.. get what you want.. but don't harm others..

Another thing is .. they're always blaming muslims.. n for that reason.. people have formed a generalization that every muslim.. be it a 2yr ol.. or a 70 yr ol.. is a terrorist.. they're all anti-islam.. but, HEY!.. now watch, everyday so many people convert into muslims.. after all d criticism!..

anyways.. my question is.. WHEN WILL THIS STOP?!

Isn't it beautiful to see Israel doing civilization's job?

Saddle up and move in! They must continue to IGNORE liberals who would let Hezbollah sit on their border and lob missiles into their country, and that even after Hezbollah (Iran) cllearly STARTED this latest conflict.

A MILITARY OPERATION takes time and must be done without regard to liberal media and terrorist sympathizer liberal SUPPORTERS in order to be effective. There would not be one single problem initiated by non-Arab people in that part of the world if the inhabitants stopped kowtowing to terrorists, who will never be able to give them a better life because civilized people are NEVER going to "negotiate" a la Chamberlain -- like liberals would prefer -- with such barbarians.

The gutless UN also needs to shape up. Pat Buchanan was so right. That worthless haven of jealous America haters needs to leave New York, and America, permanently. We have enough real friends and allies worldwide without those money-sucking, do-nothing, envious little bugs. And Europe is pathetic!

A top politician was assassinated in Nigeria last week. What is the origin of the word, 'assassination'?

Why use the word 'assasinate' and not just 'killed' or 'murdered'? Is the word 'assassinate' used to depict the status of the dead person? That is, can an ordinary person who is not a top politician be 'assassinated'?

Affirmative action Yay or Nay?

How do you feel about:
-affirmative action
-no college scholarships for Caucasians only but there are ones
specific to other races only?
- the fact people are given jobs, scholarships & promotions when
in some cases, it is not based on merit but only on quotas based
on race?
It is very unfair that jobs are EVER given to ANY less qualified person b/c of some quota. In jobs where our safety is an issue, people who score lower on tests are given jobs over people who scored higher.
How does that make you feel?
That the cop that may have to save your life may have failed the test while the next person got 100%.
How does that make you feel?
Why is it that Caucasians are blamed for discrimination & making other races feel inferior when they- the people who swear they are just as good and may very well be - are the ones who TAKE these handouts - that, to me would be an INSULT- to my abilities- to say by actions -"You can't do this on your own ,so here take it...
