The behaviour of politicians in the commons at Prime Ministers question time and the like?

They behave like a pack of baying wolves, hurling abuse, insults and belittling one another to score points!

What kind of role models are they for children?
Yes its wrong to call people names children but we are allowed because we are politicians. Disgraceful. Its no wonder they can't run the bloody country, too busy thinking up jibes to throw at one another!

If you were on one of the planes that hit the World Trade Center and you could make one final phone call to someone, who would it have been and why?

Frankly I'd like to see her sprung from jail by the SAS!
In the past being a British citizen abroad gave someone confidence that they'd be helped out of a crisis. There was a time when nations feared mistreating our people because we were a force to be reckoned with. Now I think our pride has been replaced by political correctness. I hate what we've become.

Obviously whatever anyone does, they will go against it. How can you fight evil like that? They want war and strife and they won't be satisfied until they get it it seems.

You know I would say the old thing about getting the smartest people that come out for college to work for them, but in today's world I am sure that they have moved beyond that. Is it possible that they have people that look for different future agents in all categories of life. For instance if you where any extremely smart person, but you could only display that intellect on the computer do you think the FBI or CIA might show up at your house one day and ask you if you wanted to work for them? Give me your thoughts.

How absolutely disgusting it is to have charged a school teacher with insulting religion and inciting racial hatred. The teddy bear was named Mohammed by the school children in actual truth. Given that the name Mohammed pre-dates the birth of the prophet Mohammed, how can this possibly be blasphemous?

Remember how the media was reporting about the possibility of an Avian flu (more commonly known as Bird flu) epidemic spreading worldwide? Well, what happened? I was thinking about this yesterday and recall all the newspaper and magazine articles talking about it last year.

Some people think he deserves without knowing the facts, just like the Duke Lacross cases.
People think only happen because of his lifestyles but maybe it's just another young rich guy targeted.

Isn't this woman still a British citizen?
Why can't her Embassy or authorities get involved?

Do you think the Sudanese are treating her so harshly because she is British?

Does anyone know exactly what 40 lashes involves? Is it a whipping or a clubbing?

It would give them a sense of purpose, take them off housing lists, give value for benefit expenditure, stop them drug taking, vandalising property, robbing the elderly, reduce burglary and help bring order back to our broken society.

I suspect many will agree?

The power of America's "Jewish lobby" is said to be legendary.

Commentators the world over refer to it, as though it were a well-established fact that US Jews wield far more influence than their numbers (2% of the population) would suggest.

But this presumed influence is also a delicate issue in the US, and is rarely analysed.

How does the lobby work? Is its power truly legendary, or just a legend?

Two US academics, John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Stephen Walt of Harvard, have set out to answer those questions, and triggered a firestorm of controversy as a result.

Their book The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy, which builds on a 2006 article in the London Review of Books, says the reasons for US support for Israel need to be explained. [Many critics] tried to smear us by either saying or hinting that we are anti-Semitic

Stephen Walt


Mearsheimer/Walt interview

America spends $3bn a year in largely military assistance - one-sixth of its direct aid budget - to help a prosperous, nuclear-armed country, and strongly backs Israel in negotiations on Middle East peace.

But according to Mearsheimer and Walt, the US gets remarkably little in return.

They reject the argument that Israel is a key ally in America's "war on terror".

On the contrary, they contend, US patronage of Israel fuels militant anger - as well as fostering resentment in Arab countries that control vital oil supplies.

Dude.. have you lived in Sri Lanka? LTTE are terrorists, and being an American citizen I am ashamed at how biased and ignorant we and our most popular news agency can be.........

LTTE are terrorists. LTTE attacks on Sinhala civilians are not RARE. And there is and was no "discrimination" of Tamils in Sri Lanka.

How can you be so stupid? And I've only met a few other international lawyers that have my views, because terrorism has ways of finding awesome propaganda. And we gullible Westerners almost ALWAYs fall for it, which is why we are in bullcrap now!

saying they saw Drew loading a blue barrel big enough to fit a body inside. Stacey Peterson weighed about 100 pounds. What do you think about this?

They are searching the water for her, but wouldn't a barrel float? I would think he would have buried her in it instead of throwing it in the water?
