Is it morally acceptable for TV News Broadcasters to air graphic violence, such as police shootings, car chases, and so on, on live TV? Why or why not?

Will the liberals approach Iraq's problems as they did in with civil rights and racial issues in the 60's????
Question Details: All the dems and libs have to do first let Muslims in Iraq know that they can not pray before, during or after any government meeting and that the new rules are "separation of church and state",, pass a Civil rights act and start bussing Shites into sunni territory and Sunni's into Shite heavily populated areas, pass an "iraqi affirmative action law" for each group, give them all Ginsu knives and let the peace talks begin...just like the did in the 60's...the main thing is that Osama knows that there is a new sheriff in town - the Democrats..- you know the same party Clinton belonged to....I feel safer already....

Gordon Brown thinks he has been clever by not introducing any new stealth taxes but doubling previous ones we have all had to swallow. The Fuel and passenger duty is going to double and there is nothing anyone can do about it and if you go on holiday or travel away on short break weekends, stag/hen do's, visit relatives, you are going to be clobbered in the name of the environment. One question though can anyone tell me where the extra cash is actually going to help the environment as there has been no mention of it? Also this duty brought in £1billion last year and so is set to give them $2 Billion, Will this extra duty stop you from having a holiday next year or will you just pay it? I think pay it will be most people's answer's so back to the original question will this lose Labour the government as I wont be voting for the money grabbing @/.+@%'s!!

In my town, one can't do anything without everyone knowing about it. Why aren't the community leaders organizing against the insurgents?

The New York Times, along with much of the mainstream media, played a key role in propagating the view that Israel had indiscriminately and "disproportionately" targeted civilian areas in response to Hisb'Allah attacks from Lebanon. Now, the Times reports on a new study that says Hisb'Allah stored weapons in mosques, battled Israelis from inside empty schools, flew white flags while transporting missiles and launched rockets near UN monitoring posts.

The study also says that 650 out of the 1,084 people the Lebanese government has said were civilians killed in the conflict were in fact Hisb'Allah terrorists.

The NY Times coverage includes declassified IDF video and photos that explain how "The construction of a broad military infrastructure, positioned and hidden in populated areas, was intended to minimize Hisb'Allah's vulnerability. Hisb'Allah would also gain a propaganda advantage if it could represent Israel as attacking innocent civilians."

...the United States should never get involved in a war in the Middle East - it's a war we cannot win.

Why did we do this? Why are we involved over there? Does our leadership not realize that these sects have been fighting each other for more than a thousand years? What could we as such a young, mixed up country do to make the Middle East change their ways? NOTHING! We are in a war that we cannot win (a war on terror? I mean, c'mon, what is that?) against an enemy we cannot see, and who will fight to the last man, woman, and child to defeat us - what was the Bush administration thinking?

Now, we can't simply pull out - we've made a mess and we need to try to clean it up! But, the body count continues to rise, we've helped to start a civil war, and the balance of power in the Middle East is crumbling before our very eyes. So, was Sadam really that bad? Did he really pose that big a threat to our national security? Where are we now? Worse off, or better?

In England on Channel 4 the directors have decided that it would be a good idea to send a Christmas message. Usually the Christmas message is from the Queen but Channel 4 have decided that they will send a Christmas message to the Muslims. This will be introduced by a Muslim woman wearing a full viel. Now, in England we are getting told off for putting up Christmas decorations in case it offends Muslims. I want to know your views. Are the Channel 4 bosses just loosing their minds and really wanting to piss off the public or are they having a go at Muslims? Do Muslims really want a special Christmas message considering it means nothing to them?

Obama has no baggage - no experience - sometimes no baggage and no experience is good.....While on the other hand....if the David Barrett Investigation Report is ever released.and the allegations that are made in the report such as corruption, abuse of power on the part of Hillary and Bill during their Era in the Big House - critics claim that report could RUIN her chances of ever seeing the White House. The Clintons and several major Democratic congressment say there is nothing to the report...However, if that is so then why is this the ONLY REPORT in AMERICAN history ever written by independant counsel that three federal judges will not allow to be released unless the pages with the allegations spelled out are deleted before going public????
If there is nothing in the report then let the chips fall where they may.....the sad thing is that no one really challenges this....

What do you think???? This might be Obamas chance.
