What happened to the days when Bob Hope would grab a bunch of stars to entertain & say "Thanks" to our troops instead of calling them murderers and torturers and illiterate dummies ? Are they such ego maniacs that they clearly do not know the fans they once had hate their guts now that they see them for what they really are ... traitors ?

I'm from the States and, of course, this is the first I'm hearing of this. Supposedly it was accidental; friendly fire, but I'm not buying it. The news actually showed the man's plane exploding and right after the "accident" you could hear the U.S pilots saying, "We're going to jail for this." Of course they were let off the hook and did not have to take any responsibility for what they did. If it was accidental then why would they immediately be concerned about consequences? The British pilot who lost his life for OUR fictitious war was never mentioned by name and nobody ever actually apologized. Why does the U.S never show "Americans" dying but it's okay to watch people from other countries die? Deplorable, shameful and unforgivable in my opinion. Any thoughts?

Anyone against illegal immigration?
I have a debate tomorrow, and I would like to know if anyone supports giving illegal immigrants citizenship in our country. It would really help if you would give specific examples. Thanks!

Don't we want men who fight with their moral beliefs and not at the whim of some other misinformed, misled, uncaring leader? Why should we punish men for having good morals?
We have a soldier who is willing to fight in Afghanistan, but the gov. says "no, you'll go where and when we say to go."

Someone said that American pilots aren't allowed to fly without thier "speed pills". Did this have an effect on the recent incident of freindly fire where it was finally, 3 years later, revealed that American pilots had bombed and killed a British soldier in Iraq?

Do you watch T.V., travel, read, listen to the radio, etc.? If so what do you watch, where do you go, what do you read, what do you listen too? And how would you categorize your view point: ignorant, informed, right wing, religious, optimistic, etc.? Do you discuss your world views with others? With others who have differing view points?

Seem contrived, staged and just makes me downright uncomfortable.

Reminds me of Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie's kiss a few years ago on the MTV Awards show.

who do you call those persons who seek, research, and get informed about the real issues going on in the world which are most likely hidden by media. The only place where you could find such information is by research on the net. For example, the illuminati, new world order, war on iraq. Explosions. 9/11. etc
