Some people are hard-headed. Others can't let go of a point. But this guy is ridiculous! My opinion is that his credibility as a judge is now completely destroyed, as is his grip on reality.

I for one do not accept Mattel Chairman's apology for their recalled toys. Lead paint has been banned in Canada for many years. According to Mattel's Annual Report, safety is assured. I am appauled beyond belief at the severe repercussions Mattel's lack of quality control has had on the lives of our precious children. I would ask all who read this to boycott Mattel for life. Anything short of this is absolving them from the total irresponsibility they have shown in their disregard of selling toys under the name of a North American country which does not come close to meeting the saftey regulations of both Canada and the U.S. We families have bought their products for years, trusting that they will always guard the lives of our children. Quality control and safety testing should be their number one concern, and they have failed miserably. I would welcome feedback from any Canadian lawyer who would provide pro bono legal advice as to how to organize a Canadian class action suit.

I had to shorten the question to fit it in the headline

I see alot of people that dislike the President, and his approval rating sucks, yet whenever anyone bashes Bush on here, it seems like they get more thumbs down then others. Why is that? Are there really more people that like Bush then I think, or is the site just flooded with Christians?

Lead paint is hazardous and can be fatal, we all know. However, how many people died or even suffered because of the toys? Some of these toys have been out for months and millions have bought them yet we do not hear of anyone dying from lead poisoning or from swallowing magnets. Regardless, the media makes it seem as if entire states have been wiped out because these toys. What is even more embarrassing is the flagrant slandering of Chinese manufacturing. I find this very convenient considering the big talk that China is poised to overthrow the US as the world's most powerful economy. The issue is no longer that innocent children may die but that the Chinese are irresponsible and their products are sub-standard. This is a low blow coming from the US media and government.

I am not denying the hazard that these toys pose but the US media have cheaply piggy-backed on this issue and turned it into a huge propaganda against the Chinese.

What I'm trying to find out is if I am just more aware of what is going on across America and around the world, or if things have always been happening at breakneck speed and I just never paid attention.
I've always been inclined to think that 50 - 100 years ago, "things" were not this bad, but then again,information didn't travel as fast either. I'm interested in what other people think about this. Is our world truly getting worse minute by minute?

Its been 2 years since the tragedy that has befallen the Gulf Coast. The rebuilding process has been slow from Washington due to both red tape and its focus on Iraq. I want to hear your opinons and comments from residents of the areas hit by Katrina and those who are angry with the response from Washington.

They'll say something like "So and so, a WWE former champion, found dead" or something silly like that. How silly is that? When Silvester Stallone dies, will they call him a former heavywieght boxing champ? When Michael Doulgass dies will they call him a former president because he was one in Independence Day?

I am an American before you start jumping to wild conclusions like im some kind of islamic extremist, hell bent on global domination.
It is a fact that a professional pilot would have great difficulty steering a Boeing commercial airliner into the towers at that speed at that angle of approach. So how could these terrorists who tooks lessons in a tutor pilot no larger than a yacht somehow steer a commercial airliner perfectly into a tower in a very built up area? On top of all the rubble and the debris the US somehow found spanking new clean copies of the terrorists.... More than 20 suspects were arrested in less than 24 hours after the attack and why was Bin Laden's family flown out of America first class when every single american airport was on lockdown? Also, would america be where it is today without 911? I doubt it very much. I actually feel sorry for muslims who are being mistreated all around the world due to this 911 fantasy. Bush is the one who needs to be punished.

Yes it's a tragedy and my heart does go out to them, but isn't constant worldwide coverage about one girl belittling all the thousands of other children that have been abducted or killed?
Yes it's a warning about remembering safety while on holiday but it was out of their own stupidity that this happened in the first place, and after all this time It seems they are starting to milk it for all it's worth.
Millions of parents have to go through this and think it is very inconsiderate to give this case so much attention and so much to the McCanns when so many others have absolutely no help whatsoever.
Sorry if I'm sounding a bit harsh but I do feel very strongly about this.

Let us not forget how bad they whine about land they lost in a WAR.

How can one pity such people, when they are their own worst enemy?
