Current Events - September 2006

Take the time to think of a lamb, a piglet or a baby calf being treated this way?
Would you happily eat it irregardless of how if was killed?
People who commit these heinous acts are really sick however meat eaters do not see the big picture.
All animals are tortured to put food on your table, if you are so outraged, can you not stop condoning the animal slaughter and look for vegetarian alternatives where no animal suffers?
Or do you just get outraged when it happens to a pet, seems like you are outraged because it was a dog, me too.
Think about it.......

Al-Qaeda in Iraq and its allies said Muslims would be victorious and addressed the pope as "the worshipper of the cross," saying "you and the West are doomed as you can see from the defeat in Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya and elsewhere.... We will break up the cross, spill the liquor and impose the 'jizya' tax, then the only thing acceptable is a conversion (to Islam) or (being killed by) the sword."

This is from AP:

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) -- Al-Qaida in Iraq warned Pope Benedict XVI on Monday that its war against Christianity and the West will go on until Islam takes over the world, and Iran's supreme leader called for more protests over the pontiff's remarks on Islam.
On Sunday, Benedict said he was "deeply sorry" over any hurt caused by his comments made in a speech last week, in which he quoted a medieval text characterizing some of the Prophet Muhammad's teachings as "evil and inhuman" and calling Islam a religion spread by the sword.

Once again France is taking steps to protect it's big banker (Iran). I think Jimmy Carter must be sending them contaminated peanuts and messing up their judgement. I know money is hard to live without but somewere you would think they would have some ethics. The world needs to shut them out of things. The people are ok but the politicians are so corrupt it reflects on the people.

Being a good guy has it's limits. Russia keeps putting the screws to us while we give them billions of dollars. They have more reserves than we do Their external debt ws 169 bil and ours was1.4 trillion so why give them979 mil. Blackmailing us so they do not sell their nukes is bull. We should tell them go pound sand and if they give up any nukes we will use ours. Period. They had 124 billion in reserves and we only had 85.9. Time we wised up. What do you think??

I'd like to know the different types of stereotypes of people when you first see a customer walking in the door. Do you know they will be a hassle? Will they take a long time? etc.

better in any way?

Did you take anything other than anger away from it?

Do you do anything differently?

I think I'm a better mother because of it. I was barely pregnant that day - didn't even know I was pregnant - but so many of the stories I saw revolved around loved ones - and as one writer wrote, no one called to say, "I never liked you." I carry that with me - No matter how annoyed I am or how "bad" my kids have been that day, every night is ended with "I love you so much"'s and prayers of thanksgiving for the day.

I've taken gratitude from it. I've also taken strength. Regardless of how the end of United 93 came about (whether it be being shot down by fighters or brought down by the terrorists), the passengers *wanted* and *tried* to do something. That's the definition of heroes, even if their attempts weren't what worked.

I forgive much easier - without someone asking, I try to forgive. Life's too short.

Sudan, Darfur, muslim killing muslim.
Why should we even care what happens in Darfur, if we beliieve, that the third world war between islam and the rest of the world has already started.
The more muslims kill their own brethern, the less we have to worry about them attcking us, the less of them we have to fight, when the final confrontation comes about

i am 15 years old. i broke up with my ex girlfriend a couple months ago, and we were friends and there for each other ever since then. one night she said she wanted to talk to me, she said she was alone also. she drove over here with 8 guys. all over 17. she introduced me to one, and i shook his hand and was then put in a full nelson and punch in the face many times. they gave me 2 concussions with a bat and had a 9mm gun with them. only one guy has NEVER been in jail before. anyways, i was on the ground and i stumbled into a run and happened to have a small pocket knife with me. (3 and 1 half inch blade, and legal). i stabbed one in the thigh when they cornered me, and the rest backed off. called the cops on my cell phone in my pocket twice because they couldnt know i called. i then called after i got away and confessed. the cops are trying to get me with 1st degree assault (felony), and the others with misdemeanors such as curfew. i have very limited money, tell me your thoughts.

I keep hearing on TV that we should realize that most muslims are just peace-loving family folks 'just like us'.

Then where the hell are they as rockets are getting shot into Israel?

Then why do they let their fellow muslims go unchecked when they kill and rampage over Danish cartoons?

Then why are they not speaking out and protesting in the streets over the killing of an innocent Italian nun on a peace mission?

My guess is that there are lots of moderate, peaceful muslims that just wish to live out their lives with their children in peace. The problem is that just as so many moderate peace-loving Germans helped the Nazi killed MILLIONS and did nothing because they were scared now we can expect that moderate muslims are so afraid of their Islamofascist brethren that they too will become puppets and help the Islamofascists kill millions of infidels.

With 20/20 hindsight how could we have stopped the Nazis? Can we use that to stop the Islamofascists?
