Current Events - February 2007

Pretty much every single day now in the news, people are being killed by suicide bombs on buses, in market-places etc. What is the political/religious motivation behind these attacks?

I read an interesting article in the newspaper today. The former leader of Austrian One Nation Party, self proclaimed racist Pauline Hanson had a DNA test and the results showed that she is 9% Middle Eastern, 32% Italian-Greek-Turk, 59% Northern European. (She seems to think she got nearly half her genes through rape. It seems her woman ancestors were raped once every two or three generations.)

Now, logically, if you don't have a pure race, how can you be racist?

I kindly laugh at Ms.Hanson in her face and ask her to think about this for some time.

North Dakota is the least violent state per capita that does not help the rest of US. By getting rid of North Dakota to the French Canadians WE can drive the Bloody British out of Pennsylvania and obtain a star for the Monarchy of Pennsylvania without having to do any sewing.

But should WE sell it or just give it away?

Now now .. don't blow up on me .. I'm not anti-american (I'm canadian and I think USA is a good enough country) .. but I consider that this war is basically going nowhere.. it gets worse everyday and I think it's done enough damage already on both sides..

It's sad more and more soldiers are turning up dead .. and it's sad that civilians who have nothing to do with it die because of it..

But I still don't get why some americans still support that and still think it's to defend values..

I'd like to be explained?

Cause I don't see the lin between blowing up stuff and killing people on the other side of the planet and protecting values..

I don't know a lot about the war or politics, and I know this is a touchy subject but are you with the war or against it? I know most of the people in the White House are Democrats and they are all aginst the war, so why is Bush so into the war?

This may be off topic but can the Dixie Chicks comeback maybe ironic how Dixie Chicks first said they are ashamed Bush being from Texas, then everyone bancotted them, and now once thousands of people protesting, they finally win all these Grammies. And even Al Gore was there!

If so, then why has Journalist Josh Wolf been in prison for 6 months already, and still no charges filed against him?

The man is sticking to the ethics of his profession while the F.B.I. insists that he reveal his sources.

What ever happened to ethics in government under this Bush guy and his regime?

Sort of reminiscent of the Adolph Hitler regime, eh?

(That's the coroner who gave the press conference on Anna Nicole Smith's autopsy). I can't place his accent.

Why couldn't someone who speaks fluent English give that press conference. This guy was hard to understand.

SERIOUSLY. Does anybody really know. Are they even sure his dumb-*** is even alive? All liberals keep your mouth shut I want to hear nothing of the ways Bush has lied or screwed up in the last 6 years. We have seen it.

The U.S. is offering "an unspecified amount of energy assistance to North Korea" in exchange for North Korea freezing its production of plutonium.

Are we being "duped" again? I'm NOT buying it!
This is going to cost us "an arm and a leg" and you know we will get nothing in return except "false promises" and frustrating attempts at verification.

Let me hear your rant.

Does anyone else have a weird feeling deep inside that something bad is going to happen soon? It's almost undeniable that World War III is in the making and some (religions and prophicies) have predicted Armageddon soon. Do you think the world is going to end soon?

The standing right wing spin is that the war in Iraq needs to be fought to 'protect freedom'.....riiiight....

Well, Iraq had nothing to do with 911......

Just how did invading and occupying Iraq strengthen our freedoms, when the occupation is what is fueling the insurgency?
