He says that staged pay rises are essential to keeping the UK economy stable.

What he really means is that those who work in ENGLAND will have to have staged pay rises, whilst those in Scotland get their 2.5% NHS pay rise in April and 3.5% prison officers pay rise.

Is Gordon Brown screwing the English, and those who work in England?

Apart from McCanns and friends, what member of public saw Maddie outside the appartment last and at what time exactly. The theory of an accidental death sounds very possible but not with overdose, you dont get blood with overdose. Maybe a harsh backhander send her head against a wall or something, hence blood

Why is it that republican and religious and secular conservatives continue make family values an election issue. The issue of family values and morality was ONE of the hallmark reasons for the Republican take-over of congress and it was also used as a theme during Bush’s first run for office.

Read the list of “hypocrites” below and respond whether or not you think that family values was/is a “SMOKE SCREEN” to win favor and votes


POPULAR SCANDALS


1.Senator Larry Craig, recently pleaded guilty to lued homosexual acts in an Airport. He still defiantly claims that he is not gay.

2.Mark Foley, had phone sex and indecent conversations with male pages.

3.George W. Bush, Republican president, accused in a criminal complaint and lawsuit of raping Margie Schoedinger, who later committed suicide. Accused by Tammy Phillips, a former stripper quoted in the National Enquirer in 2000 saying she had an affair with Bush that had ended in 1999

4.Senator David Vitter (R-La) who ran a hard-core platform on traditional family values, name was found on a Madams list. He told his constituents that it was a “private issue” and to leave him alone.

5.Arnold Schwarzenegger, Republican governor, had sex with a 16 year old when he was 28.

6.Joe Scarborough, former Republican Congressman, currently a conservative talk show host. Resigned his congressional seat abruptly to spend more time with his family, amidst allegations of an affair. His intern, Lori Klausutis, was soon after found dead in his office. The medical examiner, who had his license revoked in Missouri for falsifying information in an autopsy report, and suspended in Florida for six years, ruled the case an accident, after giving conflicting information about her injuries. He said he lied about them because "The last thing we wanted was 40 questions about a head injury."

7.John E. Peterson, Congressman (R-Pa), accused of sexual harassment and creation of a hostile work environment by six women. Peterson has refused to admit a crime, saying only "I may have been an excessive hugger."

8.Henry Hyde, Judge who oversaw Clinton's impeachment proceedings, prominent opponent of reproductive rights, who had an extramarital affair with a woman who was married and had three children, during the course of which she and her husband were divorced.

9.Newt Gingrich, married three times. Gingrich campaign worker Anne Manning admitted that she gave Newt oral sex while he was still married to his first wife. Informed one wife he was filing for divorce while she was in the hospital recovering from cancer treatments

10.Richard A. Dasen Sr., Republican benefactor of conservative Christian groups, convicted of sexual abuse of children, promotion of prostitution and several counts of solicitation, enough to add up to a sentence of 126 years in prison


Conservative Personalities and Figure Scandals

1.Paul Crouch Televangelist, Former President of Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). Paid $425,000 in hush money in an attempt to cover up a gay affair.
2.Ted Haggard, popular conservative pastor who advised Bush on Family Values issues was outed by a male prostitute who also alleged that he gave Haggard drugs.
3.Rush Limbaugh, triple-divorcee
4.Bill O'Reilly Right-wing conservative talk show host on Fox News, sued for sexual harassment by his producer.
5.Dr. Laura Schlessinger, right wing conservative radio host. Promotes family values, estranged from her mother, opposes birth control, has had her tubes tied, espouses saving oneself for marriage, admits to having had sex before she was married, opposes adultery, has committed adultery while she was married, and has slept with a married man, opposes divorce, is divorced and remarried, has posed for nude photos which are available online.


There are many, many, many more. I know that I am going to be accused of being repub-coserv-basher. I am not, I know the democrats have just as many scandals if not more. However, I think that the whole PLATFORM OF CONSERVATIVE FAMILY VALUES IS A DISINGENIOUS strategy to rally votes and to swing elections. THIS LIST DEMONSTRATES THE FACT THAT NO ONE PRACTICES WHAT THEY PREACH!!!
I also believe that we are all human and everyone makes mistakes, but it is VERY HYPOCRITICAL to impose ideas that these “cultural-icons” don’t keep!
(((What are your thoughts???)))))))

In a southern conversation, none of us having any close friends or links to our northern neighbors in New York City, we were wondering how the citizens that were so deeply and terribly scarred by the events of the terrorist attack of 9/11 were coping on a daily basis? Has it created a new daily fear?
Has it caused folks to "get right with God"?
Has it make folks want to move to Montana?
How , on general or specific basis, as much as you care to share from your experience, has it affected your daily life?
Thanks, and may you be blessed in your sharing with us.

I know there was a lot of racial tension in the early 90's because of the riots and beating of R. King. Perhaps this tension and sensitivity is was ultimately save OJ....and a bit of luck.

I provided the link to the story below. Anyways, here is a recap. The airman, age 19, went to a party and got drunk (we're talking almost twice the legal limit), and had sex with 3 other airmen, which she now alleges was rape. She refused to testify in the rape case, stating the defense had intimidated her. Now the Air Force has charged her (and the 3 guys) with underage drinking. The 3 guys took a plea deal and received reprimand, but she wants a trial now stands to be court-maritaled. What do you think about this?

According to CNN experts, we might run out of oil by about 2020. What do you think will hapen to countries that their economy depends on oil. Lets see:

Dubai is going the right way.-those people see it coming- but:

Russia. Venezuela. Iran. Iraq. Saudi.

What will the Russians do as proud as they are, but oil and gas are MAJOR resources. And what about the venezuelan people.

But, most importantly, Will the end of oil bring more extremists from the middle east? Since their economies depend so much on oil, they will go under hardhips, and some people there think they are superior than anybody-extremists-, what would they do when they are suddenly as bad as Africa.

Last. There is no economy that can support over one billion people there.

This is not intended to target any religion.
