Last night a black janitor spilled his dirty bucket of water on my office floor getting it on my very expensive shoes and on my suite jacket which was hanging over a chair. I said "what the hell?" and he said dont worry sir, I will shine that right up for you." I was angry so I said, "yeah, cuz you are a shine" as I left for the night. What can happen to me? He works for the building.

Why is abortion rights such a debated and heated issue in 2007 in America?
Everyone knows that it will be practiced regardless.

I find it pointless and think it's a sneaky tactic to bring religion into the issue.

The irresponsible political forces and media-intellegencia-combine was making a 'feast' of hue and cry about Nandigram in WB where the Govt. abandoned a SEZ programmee. There may not be reason why the problem stretched eleven months long despite the announcement of withdrawal . But vested intersts may not require reasons .. they are to prolong the crisis to draw mileage .. to ill-repute a Govt. .. to stop the growth programme .. to "feed" their print-tele-media with 24X7 live news .. to prevent all and any SEZ programme in WB and in India .. to deprive the agriculturists ( production and price of agri outputs are falling day by day ) of a good package in lieu of their lands.. to block the progress of a rising India and her states. But defeating all these, the villagers in Nandigram are now united for peace and the administration is let to function. "Camps" are deserted .. criminals and Maoists are apprehended ..is media people now interested to depict such a picture of these ?

Are they embarrassed, and just keep a low profile. Why don't they go public and condemn the actions of these dark age people. or are they scared.

Only evidence they have is the killing of one Danish newspaper editor and even that is flimsy (one person already executed for that crime) and that he is involved in the deportation of some danish jews. Do you think this is justified, should he be tried ? or is it time to move on, views from both sides please

Anyone out there have small children under 10? Here`s a scenario :
Your kid has had a drawing and painting class today,
what pictures do you except him/her to bring home and show you ?

Pictures of the sun, sky, trees, fields, flowers, kids playing,
match stick cats n dogs….the innocent things innocent kids
see every day right?

Ok imagine the pictures a Palestinian kid brings home from
school after his/hers day painting ? Pictures of building reduced
to rubble, the trail of helicopter fire, bullets raining down on the
houses and courtyards, blood on the streets, people carrying
coffins down the main road, these are the mental images of
innocent kids aged 10 or under who have seen their mothers
fathers sisters brothers butchered by incoming fire.

This is to all the people who think muslims send their kids
to be suicide bombers….the children who have seen these
atrocities draw what they see: At 10 years of age, they are
filled with hate and prejudice towards their occupiers, they
are asked and they agree to be suicide bombers to avenge
the killing of their mothers and fathers.

I have 2 children under 5, they are totally innocent, they
have to be shielded from the above, shame on everyone
who thinks muslims send their kids to be suicide bombers,
shame on you for letting this happen. A whole generation
of innocent children have warped images in their head.
Look at your kids tonight, is that what you want for your
innocent under 10? I will spare you the link where these
portraits are google them for yourself

Shame on you

Putting someone like that to death would that be beneficial to the people that have suffered because of him. Do you think he even fears death? Probably not, so what would be the best way to deal with him and what do you think the US will ultimately do when they do find him?

Most of his supporters that I know are Italian and it is that Italian thing. OK. I understand ethnic loyalty. But what does he have to offer?

I can't see him taking on Putin except in a brawl and as Guilianai walked out to the alley to fight, Putin would simply push a button and blow up New York.. Well, you know what I mean. Even Putin has more class and is more Presidential. I am really interested in understanding this.

Thanks.

surely this woman would die from shock if she was beaten that many times. Can the body take that sort of punishment. She is not a young woman, what happens if she dies.

First, I'm interested in knowing if people know who Ron Paul is? And second, I'm interested in why you think that our mainstream news media (USA) never (that I've heard/read) mentions his name or candidacy.

Henry Hyde led the "moral" crusade against Bill Clinton regarding the Lewinsky affair. Yet, he had an affair with a married woman while he was married.
He was also charged in the S&L scandal and let his "friends" go down.
What an example of morality! A criminal AND hypocrite. Well, thats a con-servative for you!

Michele Malkin reports that at least 4 plants tied to Democrat campaign asked questions while posing as Republicans:

- Military guy was an official of the Hillary campaign.
- Abortion questioner about prosecuting women getting abortions was a declared John Edwards supporter
- Questioner about log-cabin support implied he was a log cabin supporter but was a declared Obama supporter
- Undecided Mom with kids worrying about lead in toys is a staffer for the United Steel Workers and is a prominent activist.

These questioners were supposed to screened. Is this Democratic hypocrisy or something more sinister? Democrats refuse to go on FOX because they don't think they'd be fair, and this is what Republicans get from CNN!

When Savio died, Peterson was freed from child support and alimony. He also inherited more than $1.5 million in various assets. If Stacy Peterson divorced him, she could claim one-half of those assets, as well as child support for their two children and a part of his $72,000 a year pension.

On Sunday, Oct. 28, the day Stacy disappeared, she told Peterson she
was leaving him and issued this ultimatum: She was going to begin
divorce proceedings, and she wanted him out of the house by Wednesday,
according to the source

By threatening to flog a British teacher who allowed her pupils to exercise a right to democracy. If their democratic decision was offensive, shouldn't their parents be the ones flogged for failing to instruct their children? After all, if the children, brought up in the faith, saw no offense, why should a person who was not brought up in the faith? If this woman is convicted, I for one will be lobbying hard to have all aid to Sudan cut immediately and their ambassador sent packing with his tail between his legs. I plan to get a petition started on the Downing Street website if this happens, anyone interested in a link to sign it?

Ya'll read about it? Down there in Galveston her body washed up in a box and her 19 y/o mother and 24 y/o step father have been arrested.
Well, in their statement, it is said they beat her with a leather belt for 4-6 hours, held her head under water and smacked her head of the floor, all the whle, giving her pain reliever.
Why - because this precious 2 y/o didn't say "please" or "yes sir/ma'am"
Now, i have a 2 y/o and a 3 y/o and given they know their manners, as babies, they don't always use them, nor have they said ma'am or sir, i never bat and eyelash! What justifies their actions? Besides being sick. This story has us so outraged and sickened i'm wondering about other's opinions and thoughts - ESPECIALLY since it just came to light, this monster mom is pregnant again!
Now, shouldn't there be a law that abusers should never have kids again? Get tied or something, snipped, hell, death penalty sounds great too!
