Or did the vengeful goons who executed him take care of that all by themselves.

What do you think about this? I think the media has far more to answer for than any other group when it comes to this issue.

Have a look at ''women's" magazines like Bleat (sorry, I mean Heat). On one page, they'll be whining about how skinny Vic Beckham is and how she's endangering herself.

Nine pages later, they're lauding her as a fashion icon and telling you how to ''get her look'', ie that of a stick insect, recommendiong clothes designed for women who have starved themselves to a size 0, and telling us how Posh is a fashion icon to be emulated.

Same with Keira Knightly, Paris Hilton, Geri Halliwell in the past, Nicole Bi.tchie, Lindsay Lohan, the Olson twins, and everybody else on the planet except Johnny Vegas.

What say you?

I read an article yesterday in the Santa Rosa Press Democrat and it is really bothering me. The parents of a severly disabled child had her growth stunted medicaly so she would be easier to take care of at home. Stunted, she will stay the same size as a small 9 year old for her life so her parents can fit her on a pillow and deal with her easier.
I understand that some parent/s can not lift a larger 5 foot 6 inch disabled child/young adult out of bed, so keeping them smaller makes it easier, but is it moraly right? I believe it is not. What say you?

Are they the politics of feeling good or moving? And don't you agree James Brown should've been the President then?

I will try to get to the point real quick with this.

-For the most part, the area is very peaceful. There are 10 million+ inhabitants in the Israel-Palestine area. Only a few thousand have actually been affected by the conflict. Thousands may not seem like a small figure but compared to millions it is.

-If the conflict was as bad as the media says it is, you'd have hundereds of thousands of people dying, not a few thousand as the stats show.

-If Arabs and Jews taught their children to hate each other and want to kill each other (as some people say) then you'd have non-stop war for the past 50 years, not a militant action put out every 6 or so months which usually gives mild results.

-There are Arab-Muslims in Israel who hold high ranks in society such as judges, politicians, etc. . .There are also Jews in Palestine. If it were as bad as it's said to be, all of the Arabs in Israel would be dead and vice versa.

Read the article below if you haven't heard of it or haven't gotten an update:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070106/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/haditha_investigation

To summarize it I'll just say that as a part of "Operation Iraqi Freedom", US Marines killed 24 civilians at Haditha, Iraq. The unarmed civilians were killed by various methods of murder, from grenades to gunshots. 5 of the unarmed civilians were said to have been lined up and then shot one by one, execution style by the Marine Squad leader (that's what the investigators said). When he was done, other marines then shot at the lying bodies several times.

Defense attorneys have disputed the idea that the shootings were in revenge for the roadside bombing, saying their clients were doing what they had been trained to do: responding to a perceived threat with legitimate force. But come on! We're not that stupid. A profession, disciplined, trained soldier (as the Marines say they are) doesn't get revenge on civilians by lining. .

where are the indications? any references to show this? and why do people complain about it if it is? most of what they show is anti-Israeli anyway, for example cnn practically preaching islam in its "hajj" documentary. im not sure who are the board members of these corporations, but the presidents are listed below:
david westin - abc
rupert murdoch - fox
ted turner - cnn
sean mcmanus - cbs
steve capus - nbc
none of these are jews.

If everyone gave what they could, poverty would be practically non-existant or non-existant at all.
I understand some don't have much money to give, but, even $5 would make a difference.
I am currently sponsoring a child in Africa, and I don't come from all that much money.
There are so many millionaires, that are truly not contribuiting the way they should. Is this even human? Can you truly look at the pictures and documentries on the media and not want to help in any way possible? Aren't you touched in some way? - I just want to know what YOU are doing to fight poverty (or another world problem). And what you think of the extreme poverty that exists in this world. P.S: I'm not saying that there aren't people that DO help.

countries have been taking over other lands for all of history. its a fact of life, and a fact of human nature. it doesnt make the jews or anyone any more guilty than the rest. look at how the muslim ottomans invaded europe, and consider how the arabs have been fighting each other for thousands of years. the jews just seem like a scapegoat for them. something to blame all their problems on. israel has no oil, and very few natural resources compared to other parts of the middle east, for example lebanon (when it rebuilds). the palestinians can live in other arab countries with more oil, but no one is willing to help them much. the jews have had no home after losing israel (first), and on top of that, they went through a holocaust. give them that crappy land, the palestinians wont lose anything by going to dubai or kuwait or some wealthier nation. but i guess those arabs would rather let them suffer by themselves.
