I promise you, I am not being a smart aleck. I never watch shows on TV. I watch news history channel you get the idea. I was going up and down because it is easier than just putting the number in. Anyway, I got to a channel I am certain it was a sit com from the 70s or 80s and there was this little girl maybe about 5 0r 6 answering a question that an adult asked and she was trying to look cute (at the directors demands I am sure). I do not even know what she said but there was a big laugh after she said what she said. Why do people write this crap and abuse children with this garbage? It is manufactured crap trying to make children look cute. Is this something a pedophile watches or is it just crap? Sorry I am not trying to offend.

The former Italian Prime Minister recently had heart surgery in Ohio USA. Why would he go all the way to Ohio? Is the Italian/European healthcare system really that bad?

I am speaking of the way Yahoo has limited our Free Speech and the fact that Hitler (Bush) and Satan (Gates) have oiled the gears of the Draft Propaganda.

What are your thoughts as citizens. Paid propagandists will be laughed at, and then shot at some point.

Watching Donald Trump on TV giving Miss America a second chance got me thinking. Why is Donald Trump the boss of Miss America? I thought he was a real estate mogul, I would have thought her boss would be Hugh Hefner or Bob Barker. Why is Donald Trump her boss?

We have seatbelt laws, speeding limits, helmet laws, leash laws, laws against littering, laws against carrying conceled weapons, even laws against crossing he street in the wrong place. Why? To keep us safe, right? Then why on earth isnt there a law that prohibits people from foolishly attmping to climb a mountain like Mt Hood or Everest???

Did anyone catch it...how did I miss it? I read the article, so I get the gist of it, but I am really curious about whether the news left it out...they kept saying it was coming up, but I never saw it.

I am in New York.

While I respect that things could get worse if we leave, though I don't think we should have gone in, I also think the principle of fixing what you break is precluded when those you are responsible for won't stop killing themselves, risking the creation of a power vacuum with leaders taking over who they might niavely believe can make their lives better. The Iraqis so much seem to want to destroy themselves. Am I so wrong for thinking that their internal behavior has just about wiped clean our responsibility to fix their country? What right do they have to want us to fix things when they won't stop aiding their own destruction?

Some folks are calling this censorship:
"Yahoo! News is working on new ways for readers to comment on the news and participate in a discussion around it. While we work on our new community features, the message boards that have been linked from individual news articles will be taken offline Dec. 19.

As currently set up, the Yahoo! News message boards allow a small number of vocal users to dominate the discussion. In addition, related discussions from similar news articles are not easily linked. Over the next few months, we plan to offer new discussion forums based on topics in the news and incorporating the latest features to foster a better discussion for all of our readers. "

Al-Zarwaa is opperated by Al-Queda and Radical Islam...And gess what...Michael Moore's film Farenheit 911 is being shown several times a week, as are Democrats that sympathize with him. Do you still think that Liberals are on our side, now that it can be proven that terrorist groups love liberals and their propaganda????

This is a disturbing article for me, as a mother. I just wanted to get the public's general opinion as to whether this woman got what she deserves. We are always looking at the men as the perpetrators, which he clearly was, but come on!
