The calculated savagery of men who see their duty as systematically decapitating an entire civilization and leaving it in ruins.

The destruction of Lebanon is the work of robots not men; unfeeling, remorseless bundles of skin and bone.

The lives of Muslims mean nothing. They’ve become the “expendable” people whose security simply doesn’t matter. Their wholesale slaughter appears regularly on the evening news while heart-wrenching stories are spun about the suffering of Israeli fathers and mothers who lost loved ones in retaliatory attacks.

Don’t Muslims have mothers and fathers? Is it so important to demonize them that they must be stripped of every trace of humanity including parents?

Where will these “expendable” people go as the world’s resources continue to dry up and their homelands are increasingly besieged?

This is the calculus of human misery; the deliberate killing of innocent people to achieve political objectives. It is no different than terrorism.

:(

Yahoo Answers, is a great little experiment. I have gotten some great info from it. But I have had to wade through the bored doofuses, with not a cognitive thought in their little heads other that 'how stupid can my question be?, or 'Wheee, 2 points". How can we point or weed them out?

Would love to see this broken down over time - would like to have a web site that kept track of this much as there is a site to keep track of Iraq coalition casualties. Sources for answer would be appreciated.

You may share your opinions, if you like. But I would really like to see hard evidence that the odd weather events we've been experiencing as of late are just ordinary and to be expected.

It upsets me when people assert that these tsunamis, hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and other cataclysms are just the natural order of things. I think that they are clear signs from God that we should see the error of our ways.

What do you think?

The contiguous states of the U.S., for example...yesterday, all the 48 lower states were 90 degrees F or higher. In fact, in California and at least three other SW states, it was as high as 110 degrees.

And some people think that global warming is false?

President Bush just Vetoed A Bill That would have allowed Stem Cell Research for Donated Stem Cells That were set for Destruction and could have been used to save Millions of lives. Folks with Diabetes or Parkinson's or cancer or Spinal problems or Alzheimer's were given a brief chance at a normal life and Bush just threw that and there chance at normal lives away.
I personally have been waiting 25 years for a cure for Juvenile Onset Diabetes Type one. Essentially Bush just signed my Death warrant and others like me. What a Guy. Only a year left and maybe someone with a brain and a conscience will get elected and make a difference.

I heard that if an illegal immigrant goes to any Emergency Room, they cannot be denied. So i am taking it that if they do this and run up an expensive hospital bill which they cannot pay...then they aren't really obligated to pay...right? Afterall, they don't have a credit history to be concerned about. They won't have credit bureaus after them, since technically they are un accounted for and aren't really here.

So with all that said...my question is:

Could an American citizen like me, just walk in a hospital, not give my real name and claim that i am an illegal immigrant to avoid paying a hefty hospital bill?

Also, in states that allow illegals to get driver's licenses...would it be possible for an American like me to get a '2nd' license under a name like Juan Lopez and just claim i am an undocumented Immigrant??

What are there penalties if caught? if so, are penalties harsh? is the government strict on this and what difference is pentaly for me vs illegal doing this?

Why do you think illegal immigrants that enter the U.S. from Mexico are doing it illegally and not going through the process the legal way?

...i know illegal/undocumented Mexicans are coming here for jobs, money, a better life etc...but that isn't my question...

my question is...why are they coming here illegally, rather than going thru the process 'LEGALLY' ??

have they tried the legal process but were denied?
have they tried the legal process but find its taking too long?
have they not tried it at all? and if not... why? Why would they choose dangerous Coyote smugglers, hot desert heat, and risk it all to avoid going thru a welcoming legal process?

also....who is to blame? The US? Mexican Government?

Please answer...thanks.

I'm sure there will be plenty of critics, so lets not get over board and please support your answers with facts and not stuff you made up and/or think you heard/read.

Is killing/murdering babies for the health of someone else morally right? Since the children are the future, why are we killing them off and why cannot anyone see the importance in that?

For the minute just imagine, that you are residing in the beautiful city of San Diego on Californian border with Mexico. One morning, you are waken up by the blast just to find out that your neigbor's house is gone and all are dead. You learn later, that the new terrorist Mexican organization decided to get revenge for USA capturing California and converting Mexican territory with capital in Monterey to the US State (following short period of beeing "Free republic"). All Mexican were forced out of their land and are living now abroad as refugees. The terrorist organization is planning to get back all the territories and establish new country with capital in LA. And to show how serious they are, they opened with waive of terrorists acts in Southern California.
How the picture? And what would be your emotional reaction? Please be informative and avoid cursing.
