Politics & Government - 5 June 2006

I am sick to the back teeth that when somebody breaks the law , they bleat on about human rights. What about the poor old grannies getting beaten to a pulp so low life scum can get their fivers worth of crack, dont these victims have human rights to make sure that their attacker is put away for a long time , not sent to sweden on a "awareness of me fact finding trip". Comon judges of this great country of ours get in the real world and tell cherie blair and her cronies to wise up!

Does a person within their own home have any right to privacy if they do not take steps to prevent people in the street outside from seeing into their home.

It almost seems to me like a form of mind/thought control. Telling me how to think and what to say.

Hi, I'm an LAPD cop trapped in a runaway train with a female hostage whom I am unexpectedly attracted to. Unfortunately, the mad bomber (whom I have already eliminated) has placed a ticking bomb attached to a vest she's now wearing.*
Okay, I was just kidding. But my question is: if this was the scenario, how do I go about defusing a human bomb? I want actual bomb squad procedures, so no nonsensical answers, please. How do REAL bomb defusers go about dismantling a live explosive?
*Bonus points for spotting which movie this scenario is derived from.

There's more out there, guys... I'm thinking Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi--It's not like we don't have a back bench! I think the Republicans just want another good round of Hillary bashing for no reason, so they keep treating her as a candidate...

Edit from BBC News:

Influential thinking on Iraq comes from US Col John Nagl's book ‘Learning to Eat Soup with a Knife’ (2002). The title paraphrases Lawrence of Arabia: "To make war upon rebellion is messy and slow, like eating soup with a knife."

The book compares the successful British campaign to stop communist insurgency in Malaya with the failure of Vietnam. Colonel Nagl argued: "The British army was a learning institution and the US army was not."

The difference said Nagl, was the British, unlike the Americans, employed "underwhelming force" as part of their strategy.

Col Nagl's ideas were amplified in Military Review (2005) by British Brig-Gen Nigel Aylwin-Foster, who served with the Americans in Iraq: "The US Army has developed over time a singular focus on conventional warfare, of a particularly swift and violent style, which left it ill-suited to the kind of operation it encountered [in Iraq]".

Although the police say Kennedy appeared intoxicated, higher ups ordered them to drive him home. He was never given a breathalyser test. He claimed he was going to a congressional meeting at 2:00 A.M. Are the Kennedy's above the law, and what do you think should have happened?

Is this you?
I don't see a problem. What are you talking about? What issues? Who said that? I never read that. I'm not hurting anyone. Why obey the law? What do you mean some? Are you talking race or anyone? Could you be clearer? Legal or Illegal?
So are you clueless , others get it-why can't you?

You have to wear your seatbelt, because seatbelts "save lives". But you can still smoke a cigarette and drive. Is that not enough proof that the "law" makers don't give a rat's a$$ about your safety?

*According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), an estimated 5,500 lives could be saved each year by increasing the level of safety belt use in the United States to 90 percent. Yet, only 68 percent of Americans wear safety belts.

*Every year over 179,000 people die of smoking related heart disease.
*Over 159,000 die of cancer.
*Over 80,000 people die of other smoking related causes, ranging from emphysema to fires.
**Each year, smoking kills more people than AIDS, alcohol, drug abuse, car crashes, murder, suicides, and fires -- combined!

So, be sure to buckle-up before you fire up that butt!
