M1, from Dead Prez, was included in a debate on Fox News about the usage of the word 'ho' in Hip Hop culture today. Initially, they thought this rapper was completely incompetent and uneducated, but he turned out to have some very good points. Fox News never aired this debate because their plan backfired on them. What are your opinions on their refusal to put it on air? It all sounds very one-sided to me.

I really don't want Iran and America to go to war! I understand America is trying to prevent a nuclear war..but I'm sure Iran doesn't want conflict as much as America. What exactly did Iran do??

OK.. I recently found something out that I simply cannot believe. I am in the military and there is a soldier in my unit who is HIV positive. I wasnt supposed toi find out to begin with so I dont know how long I have been working with this person while they are positive. The Army WILL NOT discharge this person and even worse, they can even reenlist. I am not prejudice in any way but how in the hell can this be allowed to happen?

I have been transported in the same vehicle with this person countless times and if we would have crashed and out blood had mixed... i would have HIV. Even worse if he was injured and I didnt know he had HIV, because I am not supposed to know in the first place, I would hepl him and possibly get his blood on me without even knowing. How can the Army or the government allow its soldiers to be put in harms way like this. Does anyone with any real knowledge in this subject think I have a case to bring up to anyone? Is this crap right?

if you are what is the cause of this - is it women? other men? society?

or does it mainly boil down to the lack of sexual excitment in your lives?

I'm interested in hearing from you

would have done the same thing dont you think? I was in Bayonne, NJ across from the World Trade Center when it got hit. I still live with those images, and everyday for months and months the news was showing that video over and over and over again. And there are so many instances of the news doing the same such thing, so why now, is NBC getting such a bad rap. Any opinions as to what ticked everybody off so bad this time as opposed to any other time.? Im just curious as to everybodys opinion whether it be different than mine or not.

I was looking for new information on the Killer and could not find anything today. I hadn't really read or seen anything since the video was released. Do you think the video should have been kept confidential?

Weird 9/11 facts
The end with the font is real,u have to try it!!!!!!!!!!!!
do it.



1) New York City has 11 letters



2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.



3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.



4) George W Bush has 11 letters.



5) The two twin towers make an "11"



This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:




1) New York is the 11th state.



2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number

11.



3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11



4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers.

6+5 = 11



5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 = 11



6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911.

9 + 1 + 1 = 11.



Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:
1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254. >2 + 5 + 4 = 11.



2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year.

Again 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.



3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.



4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers

incident.



Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:
Now this is where things get totally eerie:



The most recognised symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic



holy book:

"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace."



That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.



Still uncovinced about all of this..?! Try this and see how you feel afterwards, it made my hair stand on end:


Open Microsoft Word and do the following(TRY THIS FOR REAL)



1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first

plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.


2. Highlight the Q33 N



3. Change the font size to 48.



4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS 1



scary huh??

Before 9/11/2001, USA savaged an Arab country, Irak, with hundreds of thousands of casualties. (The so-called gulf war I, Bush senior's master-piece, in 1991, was in fact a one-sided massacre.) When came the attacks against the twin towers in 2001 (seen by many Arabs and others as a retaliation), Bush junior was taken aback by the failure of his FBI in preventing it, and to divert his public's attention from the disaster, picked on Afghanistan, with large scale killings of Afghans, to punish the local Taliban regime because it refused to hand over Bin Laden, the hastily cococted chief culprit, with no convincing proof forthcoming. (Even now, one just has to look at the FBI Web site, where Bin laden isn't wanted for the Twin-Tower attacks. ) Then Bush turned to Irak (gulf war II), to punish
S. Hussein for his continued disobedience to american diktats. Now, Bush is embroiled in a bloody occupation in Irak and Afghanistan, doubled with civil war between rival factions. What's next?

There's a prison riot in Indiana. The news reporter said "Prisoners are in control of some of the prison" That's just stupid. Why don't they just shoot a few prisoners.

Almost everything that any American would ever need is made in China and can be bought very cheap at WalMart or some similar place.

So why complain that American jobs are going overseas?

Even if we all end up working menial service jobs, we could still afford to buy stuff at WalMart.

I bought a set of towels there once for about $2.50! What a deal. I wish I could remember what brand they were because I'd like to get some more (I had the throw them out because they kinda disintegrated in the dryer).

WE do not need to make things in America! That is not what we are about, people.

America is about INTANGIBLE THINGS like pride and independence and that good old we can do it attitude! Everything else we can get from China.

BESIDES, China holds more our national debt than ANYBODY ELSE--in the form of BILLIONS AND BILLIONS ofU.S. government debt securities such as Treasury bonds.

So we need to save some money so we can get out of debt to China. So shop at WalMart!
