I've seen a few questions asking about people being upset about Haliburton's move to Dubai. I don't understand why this upsets people. Why would you be okay with Frampton up until now, but be upset about where they locate their headquarters? Haliburton has been a "big evil" corporation for decades, and has profited off of war and the suffering of others for just as long. Who cares where they do business from--they're equally as evil here in the U.S. as they will be in Dubai. Theoretically, I suppose, it might mean less taxes paid to the U.S. government, but I doubt it's very much less, as they will continue to do business here, and I'm sure they get out of most of the taxes they're supposed to pay anyway. And, again, pay or not paying taxes shouldn't alter your fundamental opinion of their business purpose and practices. So, tell me, why are some of you suddenly upset now?

Trying to eradicate AIDS in Africa?
For as long as the Pope doesn't allow condoms many Africans won't entertain the idea of using a condom. And even then it would probably an assault on the average African male ego to put a bit of plastic over their manhood.

It was the 'Red' campaign that got me wondering. Your thoughts?

Bush to Meet With New Mexican President
By DEB RIECHMANN
AP
MERIDA, Mexico (March 13) - Mexican President Felipe Calderon has a tough message for President Bush : The United States must do more - "much more" - to solve thorny issues of drug-trafficking and immigration .

Bush's five-nation tour of Latin America is acting as a counterweight to Hugo Chavez, Venezuela's leftist leader who is carrying the flag for the leftward shift in Latin America. The Mexican leader has said he's not interested in being Bush's front man for battling Chavez' rising influence.

The biggest hurdle, Bush said, is figuring out what to do with the 12 million illegal immigrants already in the United States. The president has proposed a guest worker plan that would allow legal employment for foreigners and give some illegals a shot at becoming American citizens. Critics say this rewards unlawful behavior.

"There will not be amnesty, automatic citizenship," Bush said Monday in Guatemala before a short flight to Mexico. "It's just not going to happen. Nor is it feasible to try to kick everybody out of our country. That's not possible. And so I'm going to work with members of both parties to find a rational middle ground."

Calderon has lambasted the U.S. decision to build the new border fence - a mix of physical barriers and high-tech virtual fencing. He likens it to the Berlin Wall, and argues that both countries need to improve Mexico's economy to lessen the desire to seek work in the United States.

They were quick enough to dive in to Iraq and would move on one or two others given half a chance. America picks its fights carefully. Considering only self interest. Possibly coz it got wupped in 'Nam' by superior tactics and better organisation. And Iraq is hardly its greatest moment either. It is worth noticing that they gave us in UK, Basra and its airport. Tactically probably thinking it was worse than Baghdad. What a mess Tony and George have made.

Since Bush 2 caused all of their pain and suffering in Iraq by going to war with lies as a justification, why shouldn't he be required to give up the White House to wounded soldiers? Perhaps a little White House caviar and champagne would help improve the morale of the soldiers. Since President Harry Truman lived in Blair House while the White House was being remodeled, I see no reason why the Bushs couldn't live there for the remainder of Bush 2's term of office.

Do u think that USA is always trying to interfers too much in other ppl's countries affairs?or are they just trying to prove to the rest of the world that they can resolve any kind of problems(even if its not their business)if we need their help.In due respect many of us did applaued their effort in capturing Saddamm Hussein.But aprt from this, they hv not been able to do anything to track down the real culprit-Osama Bin Ladin.Now they hv their hands full having to deal with IRAN and North Korea.The iraq war hv killed na d claimed many american soldiers.Does US really think they hv a final say in wghtever they do or or they jsut being too naive?

Im pro choice, and personally, I think people should pay for THEIR OWN abortions. How much is an abortion, like $400?! I really dont think it would be that hard to come up with $400, considering you have up till sometime during the 2nd trimester to get an abortion [i think], so you COULD work up to having $400 dollars.

I already give enough of my money to the gov't/whoever, I'm not paying for someones abortion (cuz thats what it basically is) If you cant afford an abortion, have the kid, thats the choice you make/the price you pay.
