With no end in sight our leaders choose not to take any corrective action. Even conservative polls show the majority of Americans do not support the war in a nation that is supposed to be a democracy where the govt serves at the behest of the people. Worst of all our govt. refuses to engage in diplomacy with those they call enemies. As if they imagine you can only call a cease fire or treaty with people who aren't fighting you. I have no faith that the next president in two years will be any different from the bourgeois white man that is there now. So, what do we do? Just had to throw it out there.

I'm writing an essay for school and I'm going against that illegal immigrants should not bee aloowed into a country. What I don't understand is that many people have been saying that illegal immigrants do not pay taxes? Is that true? and also I just want to know why illegal immigrants are a bad thing? I mean do not help out the economy and erase the jobs that we don't want to work in. Thanks

This is mainly for those that don't believe in Global warming, though all are welcome to answer. I'm curious, even if you choose to believe global warming isn't happening (and I could understand that), I assume you must realize that the pollution in the air is still a very bad thing. Even if you don't believe it is raising the temperature of the earth, it must have a hand in destroying our capacity to breathe (with all the contaminants in the air) and almost certainly is related to rise in cancers and other diseases.

I am curious as to why you are against environment protection ideas; even with the lack of global warming (and there is very strong evidence it occurs; but for purposes of argument, I'm willing to say it isn't) the danger to us is remarkable. Why specifically are you trying to get rid of environment protection laws?

If so, are you going to join in the class action lawsuits against ebay and bargainland?

I was contacted by another ebay person who is gathering people for this purpose. the email is buzzbbird@hotmail.com for more info.

Don't you think that ebay should take some responsibility for a 'business' that has scammed over 20 thousand people?

Do you think that a business like that (bargainland) should not be allowed to hide its owners behind a corporate shield for they are the ones who make the decisions that the 'company' implements?

let me know and contact that guy so these crooks can get stopped once and for all.

I used to live across the river from New Orleans, on the westbank. I dont live there anymore since the hurricane. I just want to know how the rest of the country/world feels about what happened there. Please answer with the state or country you live in. The hurricane was the natural disaster but the leeves breaking and those people being stranded there without even water or food being sent for 4 days is a government disaster.

I am a Muslim.

I don't get it, maybe because I never saw it. I have heard it was just a Christmas message, maybe like the Queen's speech.

So what? I know I haven't seen it maybe you could tell me what was said. It seems like a nice? thing to do. Say something about Christmas even though its not part of your religion?

Why were people offended? Isn't this the media trying to demonise groups? Thye like to cause ill feeling between people.

I know there are some very bad Muslims who did very bad things but don't people realise that that its always the 'other' in society that gets blamed for everything? Asylum seekers, Jews, Muslims, foreigners, the homeless, druggies etc etc.

I know all the terrorists were Muslims but are we going to be blamed for the Suffolk murders next? The fact that Bradford is the worst place to send your kid to school? (Actually it is the Pakistanis fault! They should teach kids English if they want to live here!!) It's alright I'm one!

For example, kids graduating high school these days have no training in how their credit rating works, how to get a mortgage, how to invest. They don't know how to advance their careers, how to hold a marriage together, how to raise children.

Thinking about the recent cover story in Time magazine, they don't know how to assess risk in the modern world. Judging by the popularity of some conspiracy theories, they haven't learned to think carefully about events in the news.

Our educational curriculum was designed in the 19th century and hasn't changed much since. Back then, young adults didn't have as many choices, they had more support from family and community, and were less likely, for example, to move a few thousand miles from where they grew up.

What kinds of classes would you suggest to bring our education system into the 21st century?

a) during the time Bill Clinton was in power (1993 - 2001), 1,000,000 people died in Iraq during UN sanctions. That's 125,000 per year.

b) during the present war in Iraq (2003 - present day), 100,000 people have died. That's about 25,000 per year or about 80% less than before.


Why do you guys insist on claiming that Bush is killing people in Iraq when he is obviously saving lives?
