I was just curious....
Here in America it's not brought up in the news much anymore. I heard there was an arrest in the case, but I'm not sure if that's true or not.

What's going on in New Orleans, that has caused the Vietnamese community to be so successful in their rebuilding efforts while other communities seem to be doing nothing except taking the government handouts and complaining that they haven't been treated fairly?

I was unaware that this was going on until I saw a snippet of a news program about the thriving re-built Vietnamese communities. The story hinted that the difference is that they were willing to get in there and do the nasty cleanup and rebuild their homes themselves vs. waiting for the government to fix it for them.

What's the real story? Anyone from NO have any thoughts/ comments on that? Are there other communities that have been really successful at rebuilding? What percentage of the city has been rebuilt at this point?

It gets so hard to tell,. so much back wash from people who..talk gibberish,..I personally rank Liberals and Democrats for the most part as being one and the same creature,.. The great media-mongers trying to constantly Bash a president that has had the backbone to Be a Proud American, and continues to be.

I'm from Cleveland, and when a news story hits why is that the news show finds the lowest form of life to tell what happened..? I was watching the 4th of July shooting and some toothless hillbilly broad was talking and she had one tooth in her head, no bra and was just disgusting.... Of course the story and her "side" made the national news... She is not the norm is Cleveland... Most of us are not toothless, rednecks that wear inappropriate undergarments !!!!

Borders Book Store is having a ball thing for the release of the 7th Harry Potter book. It said you can wear ball attire. I don't want to "under-dress," but I don't want to be the only one wearing a fancy dress and feel stupid. What would you wear?

This little girl's story, which (thankfully) ends well, is only one in a growing number of lawless acts taking place in Nigeria, where the people are incredibly improverished, and a few officials bought and installed by oil companies give away the country's riches.

Read this and give your opinion: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070708/ap_on_re_af/nigeria_kidnapped_girl

Do you think the conditions there contribute to this kind of activity? Do you think terrorism is far behind, which will be blamed on 'radicals' or 'muslims' or whatever?

In a speech by Barrack Obama, he talked about how New Orleans was "plagued by poverty, failing schools and high crime and murder rates for far too long before the catastrophic storm even hit."

Does the fact that democrats have run that city for the past 40 years kinda show that democrats really can't run anything? If there was high crime rate and poverty in that city and a democrat was running the show, what does that say about democrats? Obama said it himself that that city was falling apart even before the storm hit.

hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians are getting killed. For every scirmish when an Iraqi dies, someone in their family will hate the Americans and become a radical. It can only grow. I think it the battle is already over, fighting a lost war. What are your thoughts.

They are infiltrating our hospitals and police, and because of the barmy PC brigade nothing can be done about it!!

Are we all expected to sit back and accept that one day a lot of people of all religions will be brutally murdered, and the so called "muslims" who carry out these attacks will just laugh in our face as they get maybe 10 years!!

Please dont get my question wrong, the majority of Muslims are law abiding and wish to belong to the british way of life.

So how the hell can we stop it all before "the big one"???

The only answer I can come up with is that it would be deemed 'politically incorrect' and the people would start moaning.
Why can't authorities simply get the message across to muslims and other cultures that if they want to stay in our country (as most of them are immigrants which Tony let in!) then they have to abide by "our" rules, and intergrate into our way of life instead of complaining about how polictically incorrect society is (BBC has to be seen with at least 1 asian, black, white, welsh, scottish, and english man on the news...)
Any views anyone?

If we were able to understand this reality, we would comprehend our life started to be build-ed when the construction of the Cosmos begun, 15 thousand millions years ago with the Big Bang explosion. Our life is so brief like a lighting in a storm, with an average of 77 years. Which way is convenient for us to do in order to take care of it to the maximum? How we may transcend to the Plenitude of Being and Existing in God, where there is not matter, no space no time? Is this SALVATION?

and I am very surprised there are so many nasty people who put them down when they need your support. Its disgusting and freaky to think people can put down a family who have had their daughter taken from them. I didn't know that we had so many perfect people in the world "except me" that have never made a mistake be it serious or otherwise. No body is perfect "except me" and one day those who put down this family will make a mistake of their own.... WATCH THIS SPACE.....
