Why do these dumb women call On Hannity show and rave abou him? Why do they believe the fraud of this guy? Hannity probably gets a hard on just listening him talk about himself. every time I listen to that guys he gets so excited about himself and his website. Did that guy ever read Where Jesus preached humility? Where is Hannity and Limbaugh's humility? I do not see it

This fight just seems ridiculous to me in this day and age.
I had to show ID this weekend at Walmart before I could make a return --- life is getting warped....

You have to provide ID to open a checking account, cash a check, buy cigarettes, buy alcohol or get into R rated movies ..........but you don't have ID when they ask for it at a polling place??

Gee gads our local high school won't let children attend without them a photo ID - and that starts when they are 12-13yrs old .

What is the big deal ?
The states that are requiring IDs are even giving them for FREE so people can't claim financial hardship is keeping them from getting one.......

Another child, this time a 1 year old baby, has been killed by a rottweiler. What a sad and pointless loss of life.

this was supposed to be 'a much loved family pet'. According to the families, they all are, and they can't explain why the dog 'turned'.

So if these animals are so unpredictable and dangerous, why is nothing being done?

so why is another child dead due to a dog 'turning on them'?

Would this country not be a safer place if the government organised a mass cull of these vicious animals (rottweilers, pit bulls etc etc)? every one of them. no excuses.

any thoughts?

...should we not just open the jail cells now and let all the criminals out to spend time with their family? Or should the criminals have thought about that before they committed the crime?

...he did the crime. Should he not do the time? Or should we show pity on criminals because they are old and frail, even if that includes Ian Huntley?

What if you'd been assaulted and had lost your will to live? Would that make you more or less likely to survive?

I've been watching CNN and I realized that about 90% of the news are about Islam, 7% about plane crash and 3% about sports.

It may seem normal, but in my country 40% of the news are about sports, 50% about politics and the other 10% about crime and tragedies.

I would say that almost everything is about my country...

how many of you have rottweilers?
i do, i have a very big (one of the largest ive seen!) rottweilers, and i always have had rottweilers.. and mine is the softest, daftest, nicest dog ever!
i honestly do believe it is how you bring up a dog to how it is behaved, though i wouldnt leave him with a child!..
if you have been put off of rottweilers by the stories in the papers and in the news recently, then please dont, most are like mine!
As gentle as a little dog only in a bigger body!
i hope to god they dont put them on the banned list or dangerous dog list, it would break my heart to see people hate my dog!

My heart goes out to the people who have lost someone special through an attack of any kind of dog!
and r.i.p to little archie!!

PS.. i arent trying to start an argument or cause upset with this comment its just a general opinion.. so please dont leave any mean messages!
thanks.x

Can't think why he wasn't. Were the Police able to ascertain his 'suicide bomb' outfit wasn't filled with explosives? Should they have taken the risk? Or just shot him dead?

Without explanation, Congress has stripped away $3 billion in desperately needed funds to build the Border Fence that it approved last year and to provide for other border security.

That's right - without telling the public, Congress is pulling the plug on the U.S.-Mexico Border Fence that it voted for with such enthusiasm last year (just before they asked voters to re-elect them).

Congress got to keep their pork projects but the American people don't get the security they voted for.......SAME OLD CRAP IN WASHINGTON

what do you think of that? looks like their circulation was falling so bad that they had to wake up ans smell the coffee. Does this prove that papers/media are about selling papers than pushing an agenda? what do you think?

Terrorism is terrorism, whatever the causes behind it. Should those who try to understand the terrorists, or apologise for terrorist acts such as suicide bombings be given the right of free speech when the very act of terrorism is aimed at subjugating all freedom of speech and expression?

Ronnie Biggs, the Great Train Robber, made a desperate appeal for his effort to get parole. In a statement issued to The Independent on Sunday, Biggs, 78, asked to be released from jail to die with his family: "I am an old man and often wonder if I truly deserve the extent of my punishment. I have accepted it and only want freedom to die with my family and not in jail. I hope Mr Straw decides to allow me to do that.
"I have been in jail for a long time and I want to die a free man. I am sorry for what happened . It has not been an easy ride over the years. Even in Brazil I was a prisoner of my own making," he said.

should he be allowed parole???

I don't get the Benazir Bhutto stuff?
can someone explain to me.
So this woman got killed. Benazir Bhutto.
But she was in exile for embezzling millions of dollars. She hid in Swiss bank accounts.

And musleum people hate women. They enjoy beating them. And they believe they are like animals. Women should be beaten. So why so many people rioting after her death?

In areas of high concentrations of Muslims, would it not be an idea to allow Sharia law to supercede traditional English law for the benefit of the majority local community? If not, why not?
