Current Events - January 2007

I honestly don't know why. This isn't like, "argh, I hate Bush, *stab*" question. I seriously just don't know what's going on and all of the reasons we went there in the first place. What was our original reason for going? What have we accomplished, and what are we doing now?

After seeing the tale of 2 hospitals on ITN I was shocked to see the state of the Mediacal services in Iraq.
Why are the opposing religious groups opposed to letting the other recieve the equipment and services the other require, Why are they so blind to see that neither are helping the situation for their own people (All Iraqis).??

This realy baffles me? What is going on why cant they just live peacefully together?

I want to know if there are any arguements against fair trade and what are they?
Please leave sources as they will help and I believe that paying the workers the right amount to make clothing good etc is fair trade.

I live in the Mississippi Gulf Coast...I did before, during and now after Hurricane Katrina hit. Being a part of it the whole time and just today hearing about a song/video that U2 and Green Day did about Katrina and New Orleans got me thinking again. Of all the people out there who do not live in "affected areas" of the hurricane, when you hear or read the words "Hurricane Katrina", just WHERE, not what but where do you think of first? Now that I've asked that I'm going to rant a bit...keep in mind, the hurricane did not hit New Orleans, the damage done there, although it could have been affected by the high winds and rain, it has been proven that just a really big rainstorm could have done the same...Ray Nagin even admitted that NO's issues were a DIRECT result of human error and stupidity and not neccessarily the hurricane. Other celebrities have said the same but still bothers me to think that so many people still believe the hurricane "hit" New Orleans, b/c it didn't.

Knowingly hiring thousands of illegal workers...knowingly stiffing their own employee's on their pay/benefits/breaks...paying employees such pathetic wages in California that employee's qualify for food stamps/welfare(and dumps the burden on the taxpayer(neat accounting trick)), not to mention rubber-stamping the cities of America(the same Home Depot's, Wal-Marts, ad nasuem), which destroys competition(which is NOT capitalism).

I went to Wal-Mart before X-mas to find a coffee grinder...all 4 were "MADE IN CHINA"...no thank you!

Reputation? What does it mean to a corporate entity in 2007...this is NOTHING but lip service!

Who decides?

in a recent survey i read it was the Americans who wore the smallest waisted trousers in the world.Mind you what the survey didnt say is that they have huge elastic cords in them to fit over their piggy bellies.

ignorance is bliss. pick your poison: war on iraq, fumes in the air, return of the taliban, gene manipulation, cow cloning production and distribution plus we "have to" eat it, and ofcourse the ice caps melting and the draft to the army. now only one person agreed with me on the previous care to criticise. it's amazing, america. i can see problems a mile away (some of them) yet when the time comes you people are in aww. you thought america was invicible and 9/11 came. U.S.A has the 'best' weapon technonlogy yet they crash into a japanese boat on bad waters. i don't know about you foold but i don't feel like being drafted, eating cloned animals or drinking their milk, having to donate sperm only to have it modified and eventually sent to the army as a clone soldier. i know i sound absurd but when things start adding up you have to realize sooner or later that you're being had. you people donate clothes so the monkeys in africa sell 'em. you donate blood or money to only to backfire...

i have sympathy for all grieving mothers who lost sons in the war and cindy sheehan used to have mine as well. however, from her actions, she seems more like an opportunist rather than a grieving mother. i never thought anyone could stoop so low as to use her son's death to catapult herself into celebrity status and use it to front her far left "hate america" crusade.

to make matters worse, she is now trampling on his grave by cozying up with men who would kill her son and the rest of her family the second they had the chance. she is showing sympathy for the side her son was against. if i were him, i'd be spinning in my grave.

and please don't pester me with "bush's illegal war" or the "freedom of speech" crap. that's not the issue. she lost my sympathy due to the vulgar display of personally benefitting off her son's death. there are thousands of people grieving over a lost family member in this war. cindy seems to be the only one who made a name for herself from it.

This country had this problem years before we even invaded Iraq, it just doesn't make sense what so ever. This must be something President Bush got from the Iraq Study Group, and certain counties that he is sucking up to in the middle east.

I often wonder how Sadaams family (daughters inparticular) and supporters ignore the fact that Sadaam killed thousands? they must do otherwise they would hate him.

They were talking on the news that congress "might" hold back money designated for bullets to the troops in Iraq. What kind of idiot does this?? I think we should protest in anyway we can so this doesn't ever happen! Even if you don't believe in the war, support our family members who are in danger just doing their jobs, by fighting for their country. I need suggestions on good protesting. This idiocy has to stop.
