Current Events - October 2007

Im an Australian. Its embarrassing to admitt i know nothing about our government. Its all mumbo jumbo to me. I want to know more. I think as Australians we are given the privelidge to vote and decide what is best for our country. I dont want to waste my vote. By no means am i asking for you to tell me who to vote for. But could someone please tell me what both Kevin Rudd and John Howard are offering to do to if either of them win the federal elevtion and become prime minister of our country

Would America win in a war against China, Russia, the Middle East, and North Korea if they all allianced together? Ofcourse, we would have Britain to help us out and maybe Japan.

Could America, Japan, and Britain beat them in a war?

"U.S. President George W. Bush warned on Wednesday a nuclear-armed Iran could lead to World War III as he tried to shore up international opposition to Tehran amid Russian skepticism over its nuclear ambitions."

I'm a little behind with the whole Turkey issue. What has been going on lately that has impacted US relations with Turkey? Are the secularists or Muslims in control now? And this past week, what has been the deal with Turkey's military actions in Iraq or with Iraq?

Thorough answers please. And preferably backed up with a few websites. Thanks!

There is nothing obviously illegal about what happened in Senator Craig bathrrom case. He did not say anything suggestive, he did not do anything that a regular person would interpret as an invitation to sex.

Fish might not have eyelids, but they do sleep, and some suffer from insomnia, scientists reported on Monday:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071016/od_uk_nm/oukoe_uk_science_fish;_ylt=AjNdLZvSrshnNJeeZcG9xqztiBIF

So I wonder How many more species of animal we will find, according to the report The deepest part of the Celebes Sea is 16,500 feet. The team was able to explore to a depth of about 9,100 feet using a remotely operated camera.

What else could be down there o.O

also, how many of you Y!A users are night owls? or I guess...Night "Fish" in this situation ^^

I want to put an Ad in my local paper about the birth of our son.

Does this sound OK to you?

Actor Richard Gere thinks that the U.S. should boycott the next Olympics, to be held in China, because of China's angry protest about the Congressional Honor given the Dalai Lama and the President's attendance of this event. The President has also visited the Dalai Lama four times in the recent past.

The Dalai Lama is in exile from China and travels the world speaking of his belief in peaceful protest of totalitarian governments. China believes he is fostering problems with their relationship with Tibet, promoting civil unrest. Richard Gere, a devout Budhist, believes that the U.S. should boycott the Olympics because of China's treatment of the respected religious figure and Gere is currently visiting Washington, D.C. to promote this belief. Should the U.S. boycott the next Olympics or ignore political differences and play to win?

Latest poll shows Bush's rating has reached another all-time low. Now, only 24% of Americans still support Bush. How is it possible that ANYBODY with half a brain can support Bush? Now he's instigating WWIII. He's a lost soul. But, what is wrong with 24% of Americans who still cannot see the obvious?

If so do you believe that the Iranians would use it and do you think President Bush is right that Iran could started WWIII, seems to me the only person hungry for mass destruction and warfare is Mr Bush IMO.

I'm not looking for holiday destinations. I'm trying to write a criticism of enlightenment ideas, and need a few countries that have been proven to torture their people.

I'd do it myself, but it's 21:30 and this work is due in the morning and I have 10,000 things to do.
