Current Events - February 2007

Somehow, even with all that is going in the world, I cannot take this - why does this horrify me more than almost anything? I'm sick to my stomach, and I read practically all of the bad news and harsh truth in our media every day. Do you feel this way?

Teen 'sport killings' of homeless on the rise
The attackers often are teens who strike with no provocation. "It all started off as a game," said Nathan Moore, a teen in prison for murdering Rex Baum, a homeless man living on the streets in Milwaukee. "We just started hitting him." Violent attacks against the homeless are at the highest level in almost a decade, with 20 deaths last year.

Should rescue groups be put at risk when individuals willingly decide to risk their lives during the worst season?

For that matter, should taxpayers pay to rescue anyone in any circumstance where the individual knowingly and voluntarily took a high risk? Where does personal responsibility enter into the equation?

Does anyone know? I'm asking about the date this stuff was shipped out because I haven't bought any PB in months, maybe since July? I would hope it is a more recent batch.

I haven't gotten sick at all, just wondering out of curiosity. And hoping that it will relieve some folks who have bought ahead in the past.

"That ... we shut down our nuclear fuel cycle program to let talks begin. It's no problem. But justice demands that those who want to hold talks with us shut down their nuclear fuel cycle program too. Then, we can hold dialogue under a fair atmosphere," Ahmadinejad said. Ahmadinejad is president of iran.

Recently a federal politician re-introduced the idea of a paid national holiday in February, in this instance to celebrate Flag Day. (What better way to beat the winter blahs, right?) But some business groups are critical of the idea, claiming a paid holiday would hurt the economy and business owners. What do you think?

why is it that when anyone has a point that involves immigrants, people allways assume its coming from a racist? i believe that the racism isnt allways coming from the person asking the question but the person reading it; as the old saying goes, "its not the mouth it comes out of, its the mind it goes into".

Why should the Western World have nuclear energy programs and the capability of producing nukes if Iran can not have the same programs?

Olmert says that they have some nuclear weapons and when I checked the Treaty and Israil is not listed on it.

Note: Iran is on the list and most of the countries are, even though there is no chance for alot of them to have it.

source: UN website

check the list:
http://disarmament.un.org/TreatyStatus.nsf

The Question is:
Why does Bush want so hardly to force Iran to stop its nuclear activities Although it says that it does not intend to use in the production of Nuclear Weapons and joined the Treaty while Israil says that it has and didn't join the Treaty.

Israil has killed alot Lebanese, Palestinian and Syrian.
Israil has occupied Syrian and Lebanese lands.
Israil has bad relations with all of the countries around it.
Israil opened a war and lost thousands of soldiers, there reason is two soldiers!!!.

why does USA keep protecting Israil like that?

This seem fair under the circumstances!

if a native britain wants to leave the e.u. and has to fight for that in court, should the taxpayer pay the bill, because the gov wont give us a vote on europe, and those who is responsable for defending britain against trators wont do their job, allowing us to live under foreign domination against our will, as this would be defence of the country, should the bill fall on one man, or the tax payer

Why can't these people just be satisfied by climbing smaller mountains in GOOD weather? I mean, I'm happy they found these recent climbers and all but they really put others in jeopardy! It was atleast good they had the radio transmitter and I'm happy that Oregon legislators are pushing it to make it mandatory to have them on you! Some jerk on CNN who I guess is a climber says that it takes away freedom. Isn't that stupid?
