Question no. 1: Is it just me or do the US authorities, and even worse, the judges, overreact and behave unreasonably childish in relation to this harmless and actually quite cool PR stunt?

Surely nobody involved could have even dreamed of being accused of planting hoax bombs all over the US.

Question no. 2: Could this happen in the UK?

A great may of us are aware of this insidious current that is sweeping our country; is it too late to open the mental eyes of our countrymen to the dangers of believing all the asinine stufff that passes for enlightenment these days?

All I hear is complaining. They bring up things that happened in the past that cannot be changed. I never hear anything about what we need to do to defeat the enemy in Iraq.

The conservative plan is to shut off the border to Iran and Syria. Then pummel and HOLD the bad areas in the Sunni Triangle. As we are doing this, continue to teach the Iraqi people to fend for themselves. Within 12 months, they should be able to take control of all areas, along the way more and more areas they will be the primary and the US as backup.

I want specifics from all you critics. I gave mine.

I once watched a live brodcast from the backyard of a youngman (age 21) who upon arriving home had just heard his 3 yr old daughter had died as a result of his own dog mauling her. Live on camera he then shot the dog (still chained to the tree). All his pain, lost, and subsiquent court case for animal cruelty was aired for all of our community. I hurt so bad for him.
Now I think, the way they attack every candidate, every politician, no matter the side, no matter the reason, WHO would want to be in that brutal lime light? What amount of money could they pay you for every look, word, or even your children to be raked over the coals constantly by one "cute" TV vulture after another?
They were even judging the countenance of the Speaker of the House an our VP as they listened to our President speak. (Who of you has not fallen asleep or chewed gum in class or in church?) There are no journalists any more, just bigmouth, photogentic, vampires. God save America from these idiots

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070202/ap_on_fe_st/vigilante_farmer;_ylt=AhPWTVNcArFL46E41YoeJGwDW7oF;_ylu=X3oDMTBhZDJjOXUyBHNlYwNtdm5ld3M-

A farmer sees someone tresspassing and stealing on his neighbors property. He grabs a gun and chases after them, utlimately chasing him down in his car.

He catches the robbers (who happen to have a 3 year old in teh car) and holds them at gunpoint until police arrive.

Who is served or protected in society by charging a man helping to protect his neighbor? Granted, I found his actions to be extreme, but where were the police? Evidently he caught the criminals before the police did.

I also love that there is no mention about the thieves being charged with endangering the life of a child by getting into a car chase.

So is the actions of this farmer the actions of a vigilante or a peson doing their civic duty to stop crime in the absence of police?

Afterall, what if the thieves' intent was home invasion, not gas?

Assume you are in an environment where there will be no legal reprecusion. I myself would jack them up on steriods so they would atleast act like they had a set of balls.

how would the quality of life on earth improve if CNN and absolutely all news media 100% disappeared today?

Note: the question is only looking for hypathetical improvements and upgrades that would result. If you have another point of view - I acknowldge that and that is not what this question is asking for.

so is it OK to be Islamophobic if your a Muslim yourself and you discover that evil Islamists aka Islamo-fascists are planning to Kidnap you, submit you to Torture and then Murder you by cutting your head off, while videoing the entire thing? Simply because you chose to support your country by serving in its Armed Forces . 25 British Servicemen from muslim backgrounds are currently in police protective custody to keep them from the attentions of Terrorist Gangsters claiming to share their religion. What do Muslims in general, and British Muslims in particular make of this? Do they think it is wrong? What needs to be done to counter this threat.

I don't like the idea of using something to enrich a region of the world that really does like us. Plus our own domestic supplier are having too much fun gouging Americans. I think Americans biggest strenght comes from the ability to invent. Should we know start putting to energy to inventing a new energy source?

Miss D. Lloyd (CBB) has been questioned by police for alleged racial comments, In theory, if the police bring charges of 'incitement to racial hatred' - she could get a maximum seven-year jail term. This is not a question about the TV programme, but about how far down the road this country has gone to totalitarianism? Just imagine in the very near future, not only cameras watching everything we do (in the name of crime prevention!), but super-sensory microphones listening to everything we say? (Please think about the question before going on about 'the 3 bitches', because that's not my point)

I have seen the signs that caused the panic, and I had to laugh. Not only do they NOT look like bombs, but they were in a dozen other cities and people there were smart enough to know the difference. What is wrong with Boston?

Instead of the important issue,some sad dickheads have more of a problem with a bit of a laugh avatar nickname. Such is the calibre of what I am trying to live amongst in UK. So how do you like my new one,those wetnecks who are so bothered and lacking a sense of wit ? If you are not going to participate in numbers toward what I am trying to do..F U C K off and watch Big Mother or whatever you were all so obsessed about ,or get obsessed with sorting THIS OUT !!!!!!!!! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6323739.stm
