News & Events - December 2007

Today's assassination of Benazir Bhutto might destabilize Pakistan. The worst case scenario could see radical religious forces taking over the country. But Pakistan is a nuclear power.

So, the bullets and bombs of today's murderer could cause war or international occupation of Pakistan to prevent jihadists from taking power.

Please, only serious discussion, any name-calling or rude answers will be removed.

Christmas shopping was down this year from last year? Is this a true sign that the economy is slowing down? Are we in or are we headed to a recession?

Everyone else is asking a Bhutto question; I wanted mine to be positive. As world leaders go, I think she was fantasyworthy.

Dose this not make a huge imbalance in the world monetary system? There oil is pumped out of the ground for as little as 2 dollars a barrel but is sold at $90 or so a barrel. Greed or what.

On December 20th, I was in school. It was 3rd period at 10:10 am (10 minutes before the end of the period). I went to the bathroom on the 3rd floor where my 3rd & 4th period class was. I went to the bathroom with a pen and wrote on the wall "I like candy. I like chocolit milk. Enchiladitos, they make you wanna eat-o. I love Marcos. Markita is a b***h. Alaejah is a b***h. Shanthaly is a hoe because she stole Marcos from me."
Then I came back from the bathroom 20 minutes after that (10 minites after 4th period started). This girl in my class asked me, "What took you so long, you were contispated. Hahahaha." I said, "No." Then I noticed that another girl in my class went to the bathroom after her. She came back from the bathroom in 5 minutes. She told Markita that someone in the bathroom wrote that. After that, they went to the bathroom. They looked and once they came back, they told the whole class it was me.

Honestly, only in San Francisco would people howl over that. Ridiculous. A homicidal tiger is on the loose, has just killed a boy, and the first thing on their mind is "Don't kill the tiger, sedate it!"

Yes, exactly, why doesn't the US army just sedate the terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan? Who needs guns, SARCASM.

News flash people, the tiger would have been destroyed even if it were sedated. This tiger might have charged the police too, who knows if the tranquilizer would have been effective to take it down immediately.

Black on white crime is ever as much racist as white on black. However, the cases that the media ignores these crimes even as they tend to be alot more brutal. This article really puts things in prespective:

I think it is. I have heard stories about tigers in India. People in India have seen Tigers leap over 6ft fences with a 1,000 lb cow in its mouth! Of course many know it alls are saying thats impossible. Just like they are saying it is impossible for a Siberian Tiger to clear a 20 ft wall at a zoo. That is what I think happened. Nobody is gonna let a tiger out knowing that they themselves can easily be killed. These animals have killed Grizzly Bears, 29 ft Reticulated Pythons, Crocodiles, and even elephants! Many tests that are done on animals, such as bite force, leaping ability or what not, are done when the animal isn't giving a 100% of what it is able to. The Tiger is second to the cougar (supposedly) in leaping ability. The Cougar can leap the lenght and height of a school bus. But these experiments have flaws I think. The people in India have contradicted alot of what biologists say. This Tiger got out because it leaped out! Nobody is stupid enough to let a mean Tiger out!

For many years, Al Sharpton has unashamedly almost always intentionally infused his extreme racism & bias into virtually every issue that he has ever become embroiled in.Sharpton falsely accused Steven Pagones of raping Tawanna Brawley. Pagones was acquitted but lost his job + wife & his family was threatened all as a result of Sharpton's false accusations. Pagones won a 5 Million Dollar Civil suit against Sharpton's slander & today,20 years later, Al still owes this money to Pagones-The FBI has many videotapes of Sharpton attempting to buy over Fifty thousand dollars worth of Cocaine from FBI Undercover Agents.- The FBI is investigating Sharpton's possible illegal use of campaign funds in his 2004 " Presidential Run. " - Now Sharpton has scheduled a " march " in New York in January, 2008 to " protest " the conviction of a 45 year old male, black who was convicted recently of shooting & killing a 17 year old male, white.-Does Sharpton have any scruples or conscience at all ??

Everyone ive spoken to loves the film "the silence of the lambs" with Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lector. Especially the scenes with him and Jodi Foster:
Im not saying Saddam was innocent, but I would have given my left arm (sorry) to interview the man.
I would have loved to have asked him about....
WMD
was he a CIA asset & his dealings with them
was he tortured for a confession
was he really found in a rabbit hole
was he sold nerve gas by Rumsfield and a UK company
was he offered a plee bargain for a signed confession
did he have any control over his army in Gulf War 2
did he have a legit border dispute with Kuwait
was he going to switch to euros per barrel (oil)
how did he make Bagdad the "paris of the middle east"
would you rather die than be stuck in this jail cell...

We will never know, we hung an old man & his side of the story
Agree?
