Current Events - November 2006

So the Webster's dictionary definition of a civil war is : A war between opposing groups of citizens (i.e. different religions, dwellings, areas, or class) of the same country. So why does Bush deny that this is a civil war? It clearly is by definition, and before you say anything think it out, I was there, I saw it for what it really is. Do you think this is a Civil War or not, and why?

Remove all arguements of cruel and unusual punishment, the death penalty is not a deterrorant, "we do not have the right to take a life" - the PREMISE is strictly that by killing this person - they would never be able to kill again.

Also, the evidence would have to be absolute! a judge would NOT have the power to decide what evidence could be introduced at the trial or NOT introduced as they can now. The evidence could NOT be CIRCUMSTANCIAL as the evidence was in Scott Peterson's trial (although I thought he was guilty the evidence was all circumstancial). An appeallate court would ABSOLUTLY have to rule even if it were to affect the career of the prosecutor or judge in the lower court..

drugs are part of americas economy..it creates jobs and wipes out minorities.through drug use and sales (illegally) it makes jobs for police ,judges ,lawyers, jails, rehabs,funeral homes, and side effects are aids, hepititis, crime.it goes on and on. so if were at war and our military are in a country producing heroin .then why is production going up? my hunch is because thats why were there????does any 1 else see that?

Specifically - Losers would include those who have been rehabbed in crack and other drug rehab centers, parents to have a generation to generation proven criminal records, those records would include child molestation.

Just wondering what people's thoughts are. I have always kind of supported Isreal based on the belief that Jews should have a home country based on what happened during WWII. I have friends that argue that it would be like the Native Americans saying we want our land back and fighting over it hundreds of years later.
I am certianly no expert in the conflict, nor do I pretend to understand why people would fight so hard over a small strip of what appears to be sand........

If we wanted to premeptively strike dangerous countries with WMDs why didn't we go into N. Korea who launched a nuke into the ocean 2 days before we invaded Iraq.

All whites I know say he was justified in saying what he said because the hecklers had provoked him, because he only mean those particular Blacks, because what he said was essentially correct and that we haven't heard what the hecklers told him first to get him to react like that.

You know, it seems like a load of BS to me. They were not making all those excuses when Mel Gibson said what he said about Jews. And Gibson wasn't shouting threats to a Jew. Richards was threatening actual people at his show.

Why do whites gang together, even to defend that which is indefensible? Perhaps that's the secret of their success, perhaps the right thing for all races to do is to support your own even when you know they are wrong.

Why do the government and media keep banging on about the closure of the hamper company Farepack? It was only council house scussers on benefits and low income that lost out, who cares? That'll teach em to spend all their money on fags and scratch cards!

Perhaps the situation in Iraq would not be so bad now if Mr. Annan had stood his ground at an earlier stage when he allowed himself to be bullied by George Bush.
The U N was found to be weak when Bush wanted his way, and was hungry for war.
Now Mr. Bush does not know what to do with Iraq, and seems to wish he had never invaded - which he had no right to do.
Would the situation be as bad if the U N had stood it's ground, and not allowed itself to be intimidated by Bush?
I worry for the future of the U N if people like Bush can be allowed to push it around.

I feel he really is very remorseful, in having done what he has done, keeping a peice of ammunition. And the Law has shown to the ordinary Citizen of India, that No Body, and No body is excepted from the law. Good show, keep it up, But I feel it is time to call it okay Drop the curtains, and let him go. Want to feel the pulse of the country?

I personally don't think its fair that he should have to pay them money, because those guys were rude and out of line to begin with. Some people, regardless of race, just have no class or couth. Hecklers are number one on that list. Hecklers are basically equivalent to the people in the movie theater that talk althroughout the movie. They are the ones who have nerve to bring small children to a movie for adults also. He lost his cool and he was wrong for the insults-both parties were wrong. However, he should countersue the hecklers for disrupting the show to the degree that they did. Matter of fact, he should sue the Laugh Factory for allowing the heckling to go on as long as it did. Those guys should have been kicked out, before Richards even came on. There's no excuse for the insufferable behavior of the hecklers harrassment of the acts that opened for Kramer. The whole black community should file suit against the hecklers for refering to themselves as n*ggas in the first place.
