The question of global warming is complex, vastly so and I don't expect a layperson like myself to answer this question with any significant degree of scientific knowledge. Apparently there are only a handful of scientists that can legimitately debate global warming.

But I'm just curious whether the true global warming experts have managed to convince the public of this potential danger. Do we have faith in them?

World cried out when bombs blasts at London and previously in the 9/11 tragedy at NewYork. Where are these people when the same happened at Mumbai, India.

There are still a good no. of people losing their lives at Kashmir due to the terrorism supported by Pakistan. Why world is closing their eyes towards india only. Do you think india is very weak to give them a good reply?

Answer me............Plz.............

Some people are nostalgic about the Nineties, Seventies.. But eras don't start or end like that. I'm nostalgic about the Millennial period, say 1996-2002 - arts, politics, architecture and of course the economy were all looking up. Though of course the world wasn't perfect, I agree with agent Smith in The Matrix: 1999 was good, it went downhill from there. Even The Matrix 2 and 3 were letdowns :o)
Do you agree, disagree, or have anything to add?

I mean, if we try to prevent possibilities of human annihilations of planetary proportions, shouldn't we stop developing, mass-producing, and selling those weapons?

If we mean what we say, and act on what we say, only then we can give meaning to our genuine love for all humanity, truth to our proclaimed goodness, restoration our dignity and national pride, and truly model the democracy we believe in.

Can we all find peace in winning a war? Can we bring unity to the world if we sit alone in the throne of power?

What's the real measure of great power?

Let me share this quote--

"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind", spoken by Mahatma Gandhi.

And I'd say, "Without a vision of peace and unity in the world is worse than going through a lifetime of being blind."

What do you think will be the effects of Cuba without Castro?
Me I see these things as very likely. Cuba will revolt against Castro's successor. Thousands maybe more Cubans living in exile in America will go back to Cuba. I see Cuba becoming a strong nation inside a decade, and also a Democratic nation. The effects on Marxism in Latin America will be profound. Economic success in Cuba will undermine Marxist Governments very quickly and Cuba will be the destination of choice for many in Latin America. Will be interesting to see how they handle imigration. Question is whether they can keep corruption under check. Won't take long for investments to dry up if Cuba cannot control corruption.
What do you think?

Yea i understand that inncocent ppl are being killed in lebanon, but ppl die everyday. not to say i dont care about them because its sad whats going on over there but i really dont believe why we are doing so much to help them beacuse if the same thing was happening to us here i dont believe for one second lebanon would help us out. plus we are in a war of our own so i dont think we should put whatever we're supposed to be accomplishing (which i have not seen any progress except outrageous gas prices & our troops getting killed) on hold to save a whole other country.

I was raised catholic (although I don't realy practice it anymore). Mel Gibson is probaly our most famous catholic (since the Kennedys). Now he is spouting all this antismetic c rap! I hope other people do not think that catholics think this stupid way. Who was offended by his views? After hearing this, were you under the impression that all catholics feel this way?

I LOVE THE UNITED STATES AND I LOVE BEING AN AMERICAN. There are a lot of you from other countries that seem to bash us a lot lately. Bush IS a good man who gets bad press in the US and overseas. Most of our journalists are liberal and he gets a bad rap.
We are a good and caring nation and we always help the rest of you when needed.
Please - if you are from another country - tell me what you LIKE about the US - we ARE likeable!

It seem that the leaders of the left are always in the mind set that all the worlds problems would be cured if America didnt exist.

"Terrorist" is a terrorist; "Illegal" is illegal, for the people who cant understand these two words, you should be in a mental institution as you know no better unless it is to your liking! The United Nations is also at fault here, and now it comes down to this, shut the hell up and let someone finish the dam job so we can all live in peace! The middle East is full of ignorrant, arrogant, pathetic children at age 20 and up, screw the god dam religions!
The funnything is, there's Jewish people going back home to fight, I haven't seen anything on the news of any other nationality going back home, only escaping to come and live in north america and biotch about the situation!

Waitress checks customer's ID, discovers self

Tuesday, August 1, 2006; Posted: 1:46 p.m. EDT (17:46 GMT)


WESTLAKE, Ohio (AP) -- A bar waitress checking to see if a customer was legally old enough to drink looked down to see a familiar photo.The 22-year-old waitress, whose name was not released, called police last week and said she had been handed her own stolen driver's license by a woman trying to prove she was 21.

The woman, who became suspicious of the delay as the waitress went to call police, fled the Moosehead Saloon, but her companion provided her name.

Maria Bergan, 23, of Lakewood, was charged Sunday night with identity theft and receiving stolen property. She was arrested at her home in suburban Cleveland.

The waitress said she had lost her wallet July 9 at a bar in Lakewood.

"The odds of this waitress recovering her own license defy calculation," police Capt. Guy Turner said Monday.

Okay, Yes he said some unkind things about the jews, and it was totally wrong of him. It was also wrong that he was drinking and driving... but why on earth do we need to hear about it all day long on the news??? Hello?!? aren't thier men and women over seas dying this very moment for our freedom in a war? Does anyone else agree that the media is just a joke lately??? Why are we so fixated on crap like Mel Gibson when there is more elevated things going on in our world???
