Well, The pig is well in Mass today. Bostons BIG DIG (tunnel under the water) is in the news again. It is some times called " Kennedys Folly" because most of the federal money was got by him. The origonial price was $4.5 billion but the final was $14.5 & 21/2 years late.Even after it was completed it leaked. Water was coming out the walls because when the panels were removed they found crushed rock not cement(that the goverment paid for). A women was killed when a ceiling panel fell on her car because there were not enough bolts holding it & those that were were to short.Is this where we want our money to go ? where was the oversite by both state & federal goverments? Is this the tax money of hard working people or theirs?

Manchester Uni has banned the mention of the BNP from debates and accepts Islamic nutters.
The BNP is a recognized political party so how
can students allow it to be banned from free debate.

Gets away with killing 2 people. Gets to walk free among the people of America because he had the money to hire an allstar legal representation team. And now...he's going to make money on the murder that he got away with by writing a book about it and doing a TV interview on FOX.

What is wrong with this picture!?

You know, when I campaigned here in 2000, I said, I want to be a war President. No President wants to be a war President, but I am one. The United States of America is engaged in a war against an extremist group of folks. People don't need to worry about security. This deal wouldn't go forward if we were concerned about the security for the United States of America.And I want those who are questioning it to step up and explain why all of a sudden a Middle Eastern company is held to a different standard than a Great British company.

Have you read who`s in charge of this operation? I read Germany as the forefront ,if I`m wrong I still think it`s dangerous to be giving up your laws to a national open boarder operation. The concept is not the same as the united states. Someone explain why your giving up your british sovergnty? I`m an american, and I`m gonna fight the EC tooth and nail before it`s implemented here.

Emmitt Till was a 14 year old African American boy from Chicago and in 1955 he went down to Mississpi to stay with some family. He was killed brutally by a mob of whites who found out that he "whistled" at one of their wives at a neighborhood store.
His beating was SO severe that his face was unrecognizable - Moreover, he was most likely tortured before he was killed.
Here's the real point that I'm trying to make:
His killer ( the husband of the women Emmitt whistled at ) who was found NOT GUILTY by a all white jury gave a PAID interview on - NOW GET THIS - HOW HE DID IT.
How come no one talks about that? Now I'm not saying O.J. was innocent - but the same justice system found him to be so - and even though his book is out of very bad taste, he's not admitting anything. Why? Cause he was found NOT GUILTY! Emmitt Till's killer DID in fact admit it AND named others in the killing that weren't trialed.
He ( O.J.) will have to pay one way or another - but let's NOT FORGET the past.

Question for a politcal science class debate I'm doing. I am on the "yes" side, but would like to hear opinions on either side. Credible statistics and facts to back up opinions would be a plus.

"Intervention" means putting U.S. troops on the ground either alone or with UN backing rather than simply giving more support to the AU.

he refused ,or didnt have his id ,thus was escorted out
whole continuing outside under erscort,of the police one officer placed his hand on the guys arm ,t,the guy then let himself fall to the ground ,clearly if a civilian touched a policeman he would be charged with assult ,the student seems to have highlighted the inconcistancy in law by falling to the ground ,
the police then began tasering him when he got upset ,twice,the dude clearly went over board but then whats with the over reaction and demand for id ,from a duse clearly leaving
have we become a police state?

It's here again, an entire evening of national televised begging hosted by an array of awful celebrities.

I'm not against charity but why are we always being guilted into giving, on the street, on the net, in the mail, on TV.

Look at it like this, I pay Tax & NI like everyone else to the gov. who is supposed to use that money to take care of it's people but the money go's on stupid thinks like Iraq, so why should i be expected to give to charity to make up the difference?

children in need also supports children in Africa who have been orphaned by war which was fought with weapons sold to them by the British.

see where I'm coming from???

Have you guys heard about the guy shot at the walmart while standing in a long line to buy an electronic gaming device?

The guy apparently refused to give up the money when asked to do so and was shot for not doing so according to Foxnews. Injuries are not life threatening, according to Foxnews. It was two men who were robbed and shot.

Has everyone seen the video of the student from UCLA getting tasered. I am so shocked and appalled. Why would the police want to go out of there way to inflict such pain when it is so obvious they had other options available. Before all you "he had it coming" people want to jump in. The issue is not wether the student was wrong and the police needed to do something. The issue is wether what they did was necessary or simply excessive. It seems to me that we all should agree that after the first shock the police crossed the line into excessive.

Yahoo news:

LONDON (Reuters) - A man convicted of what has been described as the country's first "web-rage" attack, was jailed for 2-1/2 years on Friday for assaulting a man he had exchanged insults with over the Internet.

Paul Gibbons, 47, from south London, admitted he had attacked John Jones in December 2005 after months of exchanging abuse with him via an Internet chatroom dedicated to discussing Islam.

Should we all start being a bit nicer to each other on here now, then?

Back when O.J. was acquited I really thought he was innocent over the years I have changed my mind and now wish their was someway for him to get what he deserves. Also, even though I feel he is gulty now his lawyers at the trial did cause enough reasonable doubt for him to be acquitted
