The pope said that they were a violent religon. They reacted by killing nuns and bombing stuff. Didn't they prove his point?

Every person on this planet is an individual.There are going to be good and bad Muslims There are going to be good and bad Christians and Jews and Hindus etc
Why are people automatically judging me? I asked a question on this site and did not even mention Jack Straw and people automatically assumed I disagreed with him I thought Straw raised a perfectly valid debate.

For all I know these people could get off this site and go on a site full of child pornography or go out and rape a woman or get drunk and beat up a tramp for the fun of it. Like I said good people and bad people everywhere.

I am proud to be a Muslim and no amount of abuse will make me feel ashamed. People who haven't read the Quran can't say anything about Islam. If you have read the Quran you can make informed debate. People are very quick to say negative things about Islam and obviously there are bad things about some Muslims and their cultures but there is nothing bad about Islam the religion.

Why are the Police targeting those selling Cannabis which as we know is a non addictive,and non killing drug,yet they seem to not be so keen on those selling and making drugs that are killing our children.
You see in the papers on a daily basis of massive Cannabis raids but how often do you see Massive Heroin raids,and with heroin cheaper and more readily available surely this should be a priority or perhaps I am wrong.

A number of people I know have been to their doctors recently for basic medicine only to be told they (the Doctors) have been told by the government to cut down on giving out prescription drugs.
Surely this can only lead to more illegal drugs being used thus causing more problems for the NHS in the long run.
Blair and his cronies keep telling us that the NHS is getting better yet there are more people with serious health problems than ever.
Could this be down to local doctors not treating people properly.

When an American citizen is in a car wreck or hurts or victimizes someone or is remotely involved in criminal activity they not only show their photograph but follow it through the entire process and broadcast it hundreds of times an hour.
Today 14 illegal aliens got caught in a tunnel trying to sneak into this country illegaly and as they were safely walked out the media CNN blurred their faces to conceal their identity. Had it been you or I they would have inhanced the video and interviewed our neighbors and families. Why not show who the criminals/ victims are in this case? Why the double standard?

Just cause they have just become a member of the nuclear club doesn't mean they want to nuke the entire west coast of the USA!
Why can't we be nice to North Korea and let them play our reindeer games?
If we are nice to them, I'm sure they won't nuke LA!

The president of Argentina came into our country and called our elected leader, (who I incidentally hate), "the devil". Now the president of Argentina, who is a major shareholder of Argentinian owned Citco, is giving some of our poorest people free heating oil, which they rejected. Will you join them and me in totally boycotting Cico petrolium products? I am not asking this because of anything more than the fact an outsider had the nerve to waltz into our country and insult us, and the fact that there are some very cold, but proud Americans standing up to Argentina even when it truly hurts them to do it. If they can do it, let's join them.

Several weeks ago, I asked a question as follows.
"IRAQ. Anyone know where I can find pix of New hospitals & schools built by US in any city in Iraq? because we're told the US has been building and re-buildng schools and hospitals in Iraq since "mission accomplished" Yet I can't find a single site nor have I seen any documentary, or pix." I continued,

Answerers, especially military, scrambled to advise that all kinds of new facilities were being built. I was even referred to a few military publications which were not helpful, because they pictured NO hospitals or schools.

But now.

BAGHDAD -- A reconstruction contract for the building of 142 primary health centers across Iraq is running out of money, after two years and roughly $200 million, with no more than 20 clinics now expected to be completed, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says .Parsons Inc. according to the Corps, will walk away from more than 120 clinic, WITH monies for projects already paid.

The family of this young man mourned, for him. The saddest day of his Mother's life. She said a part of her heart has died with her beloved son. Then during the funeral procession, standing near the street was a nasty group of protesters. They downgraded the funeral and held up signs. What is happening in America, that protestors need to invade a funeral ? Is there no Shame or Respect anymore. What type of people are we dealing with ??

I'm "employed" as a "permatemp", which means my corporation
gives me NO vaaction time, because my temp agency gives me NO time. Just two paid holidays, Fourth of July and Christmas.
Actually, my only way to get vacation time is quitting. Isn't that hilarious? LOL!
However, I still think that workers should get a minimum 4-weeks
across the board. Seems like the 2 week thing is pretty much all most people get, if that.

Are you happy with what "time" YOUR company gives you?

Ill make this short. As you can see NK tested its nuke. Iran is making nukes also, with Russia's intelligence. This is how its going to happen. U.S. and its allies attacks NK. NK nuke Japan, then NK getting wooped and calling for its allies Russia, China, to help and Russia's and U.S's with over 50 nukes alone will blow this planet into pieces lol!!

There has been a recent bomb threat at my high school with a $200 reward being offered for the one who wrote it. I'm determined in solving this and collecting the reward. I've checked out several investigation books to study, but I still need further help. How would I solve this case? I can obtain handwriting from the written threat, and come up with a list of suspects. How do I narrow it down to the one that wrote it? Thank you for your help.

One day a few years ago when i used to be heavily into martial arts i was due to do a public demonstration. I set off with two of my friends to a location that i had never been to before. On our arrival it was clear that we were the first of our club there. On the carpark were a few men directing the traffic. I stopped the cat that i was driving and a man approached. This was a very well dressed black male who was very polite. He came over and said which one of you is jason ---------. I had never seen him before and there were no persons there that knew me. I had nothing on the car with my name on etc... I parked the car and looked for him to ask how he knew me but he was gone. Still to this date it freaks me out. Any genuine ideas?
