I’m so pissed with constantly hearing about Giuliani and 9/11that I don’t even know how to word this question.
Just what the heck did Rudolph Giuliani do on 9/11 that he and others is giving him so much praise for?
2603 people died in the World Trade Center fire.
I still can’t understand why when the plane was crashed into the building, why weren’t the people immediately evacuated.
I heard reports of firefighters; police and others doing their jobs to save lives and other hero citizens that risked their lives to save others; but just what did Giuliani do?
Did he go into the building and carry someone out? Did he lead others to safety?
Please enlighten me.

I know this has nothing to do with this subject or anything. But this is very serious and needs to be out there and I realized a lot of people really read this stuff...And this about a baby so it's related. I dont want no critizism from this and i DO NOT know the family but do know the story. All i can say guys is PRAY! ok to the story:

It's about a little 6 month old baby boy (Kaleb) who was shaken surverly and it caused some MAJOR damage and little man needs all the prayers he can get. He's a fighter but he still needs God! So all I can say guys is PRAY!!! No one realizes how bad this can hurt a child but this little boy is a prime example! PRAY and Continue praying.

For more information and/or updates check out his mom's myspace.

OK, this is not about the McCanns leaving their babies unattended.
That was inexusable & they (worse for them, their Madeleine is) paying the terrible price for it.
With that out of the way, i'd like to raise the other angle that some of our wiseguys
love to point to...That there is "something fishy" going on, that Madeleine's parents
have some deep dark sinister secret (other than leaving their babies alone) to hide,
maybe they've sold her (???), maybe there was a horrible "accident" & trash like that.

IF, they did, will someone please tell me why Gerry McCann writes such a boring blog
& doesn't get all weepy & waily to increase his sympathisers & get the heat off him?
Why are they taking the trouble to keep the case alive & fresh, instead of sobbing
crocodile tears & lying low (anyone would understand & forgive them that...)
Why are they leaving their twins (knowing the flak they'll get for it) just to
ensure that Madeleine's case gets more coverage?
I'm confused. Surely 2 parents guilty of a sinister crime against their own baby
wouldn't point fingers to themselves...
OR maybe they made a horrible terrible decision & are now doing the best
they can to right it (to get their baby back) based on the advice given by experts
(who do know more about such cases than any of our YA wiseguys)...

Anyone who would like to answer this, please do so within 20minutes...
i've found that my innocent little posts are being reported & taken off
despite not being the least bit abusive...Real healthy mature attitude...

TUESDAY JUNE 5TH 9PM BBC 1

A slim hope but hope is all the McCanns have left. It is not about money, publicity, visiting the Pope, aircraft trips, the academic qualifications and careers of the couple or anything else, this is about a lost child, period.

All decent people will have sympathy with this family in their time of desperate need and will admire their brave fight to keep this tragedy in the public eye.

They will probably pull out of the west bank and other "occupied" places if they know that there will be peace. What more must they do to achieve peace? Why are so many muslims calling for the destruction of israel? Who would work for peace under those conditions?

What are we STILL doing in Iraq? Innocent people are dieing over this war! What are we getting out of it? About a week and a half ago a cousin on my dad's side of the family died from being shot in the head going to work. He and his wife had two kids and one on the way. A lot of people are going through deaths... What if that same war was happening in the US?
Having shooters walking around your neiborhood... and snipers hiding in bushes ready to shoot any second...
It's really sad what is happening and I hope it finishes soon. What do you think? I would love some feedback on what you think about this war going on in Iraq. Thanks :)

Palestinian National Charter is the official PLO doctrine. Decide for yourself if this seems to be a "moderate" organisation that accepts a two-state solution and rejects violence and terrorism.

Article 2: Palestine, with the boundaries it had during the British Mandate, is an indivisible territorial unit.

Article 7: … [the Palestinian] must be prepared for the armed struggle and ready to sacrifice his wealth and his life in order to win back his homeland and bring about its liberation.

Article 9: Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine. Thus it is the overall strategy, not merely a tactical phase. The Palestinian Arab people assert their absolute determination and firm resolution to continue their armed struggle and to work for an armed popular revolution for the liberation of their country and their return to it.

I can't believe how many blunders he continues to make on every front !

How did the greatest republic to ever exist end up with such an inept president ?!

I've never seen an administration begin to unravel so quickly and completely since the Nixon administration did during the Watergate Scandal !!!!

This fiasco in Iraq is humiliating the American people in front of the entire world !

I hope that if H. Clinton ends of becoming President of the US, the American people don't pat themselves too hard on the back. Sure, having a female run for office and actually coming out on top is a first for the States, but Canada did it before you. ;)

Oh well. Good luck with all of that, fellow neighbors.

they make avg. around $25 per hour plus excellent medical benefits and excellent 401K program, Like they get $3 per hour of what they work put into a 401K, Thier company contributes

they are striking cause they want bigger raise than is being offered.

Do you really think that labor unions are doing good to the american worker and not just sending jobs overseas and creating more jobs for illegal mexicans here.

Why go into a war that most people think has no point. Some people believe that the Jews were the terrorists by hiring Muslims to bomb the twin towers and the pentagon, also ive heard that we are just going into the war so we can get more oil. Anyways just want to hear some option and thoughts of what you guys think.

Thanks
