I checked and I did NOT violate community requirements. Is this censure of freedom of speech ?

President Ford was buried a little more then a week ago...are they still flying at half mast in continued respect or did someone forget to tell everyone to raise them up again?

Or is it just that the media runs these stories to satify breathless demand for such? And this magnifies the situation and makes it seem like they happen more frequently. Please point to stats.

There have been rumors floating that CNN's Anderson Cooper is secretly being courted by CBS to be a full-time 60 Minutes correspondent or to possible replace Katie Couric on the evening news (her ratings are not doing so hot).

Thoughts? Would you like to see Anderson move to CBS or for him to remain at CNN?

AMAZING how someone with no formal education can burn through $113,000,000 in 4 years...broke, busted, and now in serious trouble. What a moron!
Their should be a reality TV show showing lottery "winners" 3-5 years AFTER they win big, and see what happens when you put big-bucks into the hands of people who have no sense of money(but a huge appetite at the all-you-can-eat buffet's...)

My own mailman had a cousin who won $5.5 million in the California State Lottery(another wholesale sham). His cousin disowned all relatives, bought a big house, Rolls Royce, etc. With three years...filed for bankrupcy, and then came begging back to the same relatives he dissed.

Oh, yes..."please play responsibly"...

Anyone remember "Our Schools win too!"??

some ideas for previous events in history are:
-pearl harbor has the uss arizona and the uss missouri
-iwo jima is remembered through the usmc war memorial statue/raising the flag on iwo jima by joe rosenthal photograph
-the cemetary in normandy is a symbol for the day the allies invaded europe during ww2

Make Iraq another US state. Iraq would then be under US government and US laws/consitution. Then America can straighten out the country and maybe 20 years later gve it back just as MANY MANY countries that were taken over by the british and others only to be given back after decades of theft.

What a disgrace this man is! I just read in the paper where he was paid an 82.9 million stock bonus in addition to the 500 million he'll be making over the next 5 years. This is not to mention that he stands to gain other stock bonuses in the future provided his company ( Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. ) meets annual subscriber targets. Is this what we've come to in this country? This man is nothing but a dirty, lowdown, disgusting peddler of smut, and yet he's making millions and millions of dollars! No, I am not jealous or envious of him and I realize that others are doing much the same, but millions of dollars for helping tear apart the moral fabric of our great nation? Well, enough said. You know what happened to Soddom and Gomorrha, don't ya?

Has it become so pervasive that nothing or nobody can stand in its way and we are all resigned to policing our children when and if they come in contact with it.
