Current Events - September 2006

before you call me a biggot or racist view the data below
the following link will verify my question

http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0931045.html

Here is some statistical data you might find interesting
this data is according to the justice department.
it can also be found on the above website.

"About 10.4% of the entire African-American male population in the United States aged 25 to 29 was incarcerated, by far the largest racial or ethnic group—by comparison, 2.4% of Hispanic men and 1.2% of white men in that same age group were incarcerated. According to a report by the Justice Policy Institute in 2002, the number of black men in prison has grown to five times the rate it was twenty years ago. Today, more African-American men are in jail than in college. In 2000 there were 791,600 black men in prison and 603,032 enrolled in college. In 1980, there were 143,000 black men in prison and 463,700 enrolled in college."

I want to add more but i am out of characters to work with

YES, he desreved to die. Anyone screwing with animals in THEIR natural habitat derves what's coming to them. YES, I think he was an idiot for constantly putting himself, his wife, and his kids in danger. NO, I'm not going to bite my words. Millions of people put their jobs before their family everyday and are seen as bad people and he was just as bad. PEOPLE are more important then animals anyday and if any of you want to call me stupid, inconsiderate, or heartless go ahead. I thought he was an idiot before and now because he's dead I shouldn't think he's an idiot now....Screw that. HE WAS!!!

If you want to rant and rave for how I feel go ahead. Make sure you read all my comments before you just go and spout your anger at me. More screwed up people answered in my other question, so make sure you read that one too. Good day PEOPLE HATERS.

Soft power is more important than military power.

Here's what Napolean had to say about it: "Even in war, moral power is to physical as three parts out of four."

We didn't win the cold war with military power, we won it because of rock and roll, blue jeans and freedom. (Yes, military power kept us from becoming commies, but it was a stalemate, not a victory.)

Now we're losing the middle east because of Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo and the lack of electricity and sewage treatment in Bagdad.

Even though the American public doesn't know it, we scored big by helping out after the Tsunami and the Pakistani earthquakes. That was far, far cheaper than the war in Iraq. We need to do way more!

When people like you, they don't send suicide bombers after you. When they trust you, they don't revolt after you invade their country to remove a dictator. When they respect you, they listen to what you have to say.

I'm not saying that soft power is everything, I'm just *asking* how we can improve it.

Please help to keep the research and education about wildlife that our beloved Steve Irwin held so dear. Donate to his foundation
www.wildlifewarriors.org.au.

It took a one in a billion accident to kill a one in a billion man. We love you Steve.

I always thought he was a little overactive, but still, when I heard he died, I kinda couldn't believe it b/c i can't imagine him being dead, not jumpin around, jus not doing anything. I feel sorry for his wife and kids.
