Nowadays Pakistan has a lot of attention from the U.S. mainly due to its nuclear weapons, unstable government and its harboring a lot of terrorists or if you want to be polite about it Muslim extremists, who have started suicide bombings within Pakistan. So what do you guys think, since the government of Pakistan is clearly doing nothing and the U.S. keeps sending aid thats going to waste should U.S. conduct direct air strikes in Pakistan

As I've watched the debates I've found it odd that there are democratic journalists moderating both the democratic and republican debates. Then it dawned on me. Aside from the Fox News, Tucker Carlson and Scarborough at MSNBC, are there any conservative journalists that could moderate a debate on PBS, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, or anywhere else?

I know that this may be an impossible question to get a legitimate answer or, on another hand, one which is simply unanswerable without perpective. However, when people comment or post a link to a particular site with information on it, those who see the site will often comment that the information is "right-wing propaganda" or "liberal bias" depending on where the link originates.

So, have we come so politically polarized that there are no legitimate news sources anymore, ones which both parties can agree upon that they are just news and not proponents of an agenda? I would say that the answer is "no."

I posted the following link today and got a slew of conservatives attacking it as propaganda. Now, the source of the link is PBS and the information provided lists where the information came from, even showing the actually people mentioned giving their verbal accounts? And, yet, people attacked it for being biased?

Look I know we should not feed the trolls but I just have to say this, which should have been said long ago.

Whoever is doing this: you are seriously sick. Taking the piss out of the mother of a terminally ill child? Making fun of someone who was abused as a kid? THAT IS VILE!!! You might think this is all hilarious you d!ckweed, but you'll be sorry.

It is just beyond disgusting. You need to crawl back into whichever crevice you emerged from and drop dead.

I suspect these are not a random events and is some how linked to the McCanns.

I am not taking sides here but this site has been used for a while now to bash them. Are they or someone connected to them now going on the offencive? It would make sense. Cybar warfare.

regret it. I have just been shown links to posts stating that I am this person and the other damned person. Now I could give a flying **** if I give a violation notice for this post but I am going to tell it as it is.

Those who know me well know full well that I have no need to post under 20 aliases or is it 50 now?? I am more than able to defend myself without the assistance of either cloning other people or creating mutliple id's or whatever else you chose to accuse me of. I have defended myself in the past and I am quite able to do so in the present. I have been on this site for months posting and often arguin with people such as Jim G, Jim Q, Saturnfive, Plato, Piltdownman and often unassisted.

I resent being brought into your bullshit arguments because you have no other sucker to pick on. So, here is how it is going to be. Tomorrow morning I am going to ring Yahoo to bring to this crap to their attention

Time mag. states that there are 34,000,000 slaves in the world. Most are in Arab countries. The brutal slave trade continues. A slave can still be bought in Libya and Sudan for $80.00 . Most are captured Christians from Dafur and other places. To deny this crime, is typical of most moslems. But it still continues. Why ?

I think that he is in all of this just for the money! I guess with all those children he thinks he needs the money. But ethically speaking I think he should find other ways of making money. Honestly, using your child's rape as a way to make money isn't very Mormon.

Granted, any operation like mining must turn a profit. The Utah mine rescuers are now digging a 3rd shaft just trying to locate the trapped men. It seems to me that the initial cost of the GPS chips would be recovered in lives saved, and good will toward mines in general. Not to mention the huge expense in what may be just a body recovery. Do any mines use GPS? If not, why?
