A member of the British Monarchy is killed in action whilst serving for his country in an unnecessary war. How will the royal family view this? I know they will come up with the usual stiff-upper-lip routine of he died fighting for his country but will the son of Diana (the princess of peace) really be allowed to rest in peace after being a casualty of Americas war on Arab countries to secure oil.

People on the right wing in America just love this war in Iraq- they can't get enough of the killing- they can't wait for American soliders to be killed so they can worship them as war heroes.
They are just rubbing thier hands together at the thought of erecting that Iraq war hero statue in thier town.
So many Americans savor the thought of nuking n. Korea and Iran- Why are so many Americans such bloodthirsty war mongers?
There is such racism in the states, hatred of non whites, and if you question an American's self proclaimed superiority over the rest of the world- they react with profanity- and often with threats of violence.
Of course the USA is a violent place- they wiped out much of the native Indian population, and dropped nukes on Japanese civilains, killing over 100,000.
I think many Americans crave that sort of mass killing again- A nuke over Iran, or N. Korea...
Many of these war mongering Americans are Christians- yet their messiah was a pascifist- Most peculiar...

This is the worst judge I think I have ever encountered. He makes a mockery of the american judiciary system. He leads the witness', does not allow for cross examination, excludes topics that would have a effect on the results(like with who the father is). This case could have taken hours, yet he somehow managed to drag it out for his own personal gains. He should be pressuring Howard K. Stern to take a paternity test(Because he can not order it for its not his jurisdiction). He should have just went with florida law and ordered next of kin to be in charge(Anna's mother). Now if she wants her to be buried in Texas, Larry Seidlin can order the body of Anna's son to be moved to texas also. He is wasting taxpayers money. Lets hope the good poeple of florida do not re-elect him.

The following two petitions are to help the USA officially recognize the Armenian Genocide. Please sign both petitions and tell as many people as you can. It is very important to us that the genocide gets recognized. Due to the fact that Turkey was not punished for their wrong doings, several genocides were followed as well. Including the holocaust and the current genocide going on now in Sudan. The inhumane acts of the Ottoman Turks must be recognized.

In order to get your name on the petition recognized you must verify it in your email.

Thank You very much! Please sign them…it really means A LOT!

Who exactly would follow us home if we withdraw??

The Iraqi militias that are fighting an occupier?? Well, that makes no sense, once we leave, their gripe is over.

Al-Qaeda?? If they wanted to attack us, the war in Iraq is not preventing an attack. They are fighting in Afghanistan, Iraq, Chechnya, etc and can certainly send a few guys to attack the US if they wanted.

If you agree with Bush, raise your hand so we can see all the morons!!!

These cowardly acts which crown the Newspaper headlines, is the biggest shame in human and religious history. Yet, condone by number of nations to access what they want. Easy way to get things through/done through the blood of the innocents.

Listen I know that they have preached the last days theme since the beginning of time, but I can tell you that we are now in the last hours of Christ’s return.

I'm 21 years old, i was raised in a Christian home and I’ve been tempted by the college life/drinking/sex yet I’ve never done any of it, I’m not saying I'm above anyone else but I’ve stayed true to god's word and for some reason he's put it in my heart to preach on his judgment.

I feel that our culture defines religion based on today’s generation, and preaches the "balance" testimony as if we should only look at god one day of the week etc. I have this in my heart, to preach that the church if failing, and we must preach the word** of god, and that his judgment is as equal to his mercy. I feel it in my heart to preach to everyone i know, and this has only been since 3 days ago when my stomach sank, and i have been on fire for this since then, i've changed my music habits/i've wrote blogs on myspace to unchristian/Christian friends alike, just abnormal stuff like that.

Point being i do not know why i have felt this sudden change to really preach this message, but i feel i must.

I know that in the last days god told us to look at the church as a sign, the family etc. I see Christians being affected/tempted giving into the same sins of sex/drinking/sin as the unsaved, I see divorce at almost 70 percent, and I see for the most part a Christian community that is falling short of god's word. And I feel the time is near to the rapture, and we all must turn to god.

It makes sense that God would want George to forgive and forget, but why do we attack them? Why are we killing them? Sounds like a cruel world with a god to me!!

The point is...it's not news, it's entertainment. Aren't there more important things going on, like soldiers getting killed in Iraq left and right, the propaganda that the pharmaceutical perpetuates, the dangers of genetically modified foods, etc...?

The Black Hawk that was just shot down over Baghdad would be at least the eighth U.S. helicopter to crash or be taken down by hostile fire in the past MONTH.

More weapons and equipment and training is flowing into Iraq than ever before, including shoulder -fired anti-aircraft weapons. Is it coming from Iran and if so, will Iran ever admit to it?

No media at all was allowed into the fundraiser for Barack Obama. This infuriated most, and led to many speculations as to his ability to answer tough direct questions on his stance on important issues.. Was this a mistake on his part?

What is the sense in paying for health insurance if those who are illegals and welfare programs are taken and treated just as I am?

It makes more sense to take the job , turn down the insurance and let the "taxpayers" give me a free ride.
