During the last several weeks I have observed various points of view about this issue. This is 2006, yet there are still people who refer to a race of people as "the Blacks." Everyone should be up in arms about this exection style murder perpetrated by the very people who are meant to protect us. Does the sins of our past dictate our future? Much emphasis has been put on the past criminal records of the victims. What does that have to do with the fact that these men were fathers, sons, brothers, friends? Two little girls will now grow up fatherless. What difference does their skin color make? Their blood was red! We could look through our past, and examine all our victims with a magnifying glass. An example would be some women who are raped are promiscuous, ie: Nicole Simpson, yet a whole race of people were up in arms about her slaughter and hate OJ. There are times, like now, when I feel that we are going backwards as a people, as a race, THE HUMAN RACE.

Shall I report the incident to OFSTED (school inspection people)?

Bad enough having pedos working with kids without having potential terrorists.

Lots of people answered Ms. Stahl's question saying there's no coverage of all the wonderful things being done by our forces in Iraq.

Since the media is not apparently doing a good enough job of this, can you help?

If you know of a SPECIFIC positive thing that's been done as a result of U.S. occupation in Iraq, please list it here. If you have a citation or proof, even better.

Best answer gets 10 points.

"American Capital of Culture" label -- what is it?

A group, perhaps self-appointed in Spain, regularly hands out some sort of a designation called "American Capital of Culture".
It also asks for plenty of money from the designatee.

Is this "American Capital of Culture" designation legitimate? Is it just a ruse to get money from cities and states?

In the next year I'd see probably half a million deaths in a Bagdahd centered civil war.
In 5 I'd see an oppressive Shi'a regime subjugating the Sunnis
Same in 10 years

I mean, this was B.S from the get go. Our justice system is suppose to protect the innocent. This, was 180 degrees out of phase. These poor guys now have to rebuild their image for something they didn't do.

We get it. You think the Bush Administration organized the attacks against the WTC, Pentagon, and small-town PA. You believe the cheaply made, poorly researched videos posted on YouTube and MySpace by people who are desparate for attention. You believe anything that confirms your Bush-is-evil-bin-Laden-is-a-hero feelings.

It's becoming old. Everyday, one or more of you paranoid idiots posts a link to "Loose Change" or some other conspiracy video. I feel sorry for you. It is pathetic, really. I can only pray that, in the new year, you find some purpose in your life, so that you no longer have to troll Yahoo! answers.

I propose we declare War on Christmas and increase troop levels by 20,000 in order to liberate Christmas from the axis of evil dictatorship! This war will also secure oil reserves and defend our freedom at home. We must act now!!! Also, intelligence tells me that Christmas has WMDs.

Everyday in the media, someone well known gets rapped for saying and doing something that is allegedly "offensive" to some other group of people.

Often, it seems to me that these stories border on the ludicrous, denouncments fly, lawsuits threatened on a whim, it seems like a never ending cycle that is designed to help a few people and bully others in a odd new breed of hatred. Free speech and expression seem almost too unnatural now among public figures who walk in a odd climate of fear.

So...do you feel that the Politically Correct movement has gone too far...or not far enough?

Why do you feel that way?

Do you think those with power in Washington saw the boards as a threat to Bush and his war in Iraq? With so many speaking out against Bush and the war, it was only a matter of time before they found a covert way to shut down the boards and free speech. One board that was running stories on the Iraq board had almost 3 million posts, and many against Bush.

Do you think Washington approached Yahoo to shut it down

Watching a program like crimewatch 80-90% of the criminals are black or asian and the BBC are the most PC centric organisation so they arent exagerating this, so the ethnic communities have a practical monopoly on crime In fact most racist attacks are by asians and blacks on whites.The 21ST century will prove to be the century of racism against whites if what is happend so far from Mugabe chasing white farmers out of his country to 9/11 which when you think about it is racist as much as it is anti western. What we are dealing with is people whos religion or culture will not let them be world citizens so they will still be looking for handouts fron the white man such as third world aid or affirmitive action projects. Anyway by 2050 the white population will go from 20% as it is now to 7% (united nations estimates) so their will be less of us for them to attack. What we should do is send them all back to their own countries so they can be bitter and poor with it and they kill their own
