Found this interesting quote on the net by Peter Ustinov.

Though i consider war in all forms to be bad but in defence of the weak, given the way world is unjustly constituted what else is one to think?

Do you have better propositions? Do you still feel partizan about the violence?

Thankfully there is worldwide resistance, and scrutiny of the USAs quest for domination.
The USA has lost it's credibility, and is losing it's stranglehold on the rest of the world.
Hugo Chavez is a clear example of what can be achieved when countries disregard their orders from Washington:-
Over 17 million people now have access to free health care and medicines for the first time.
Over 1 million people taught to read and write.
Participation encouraged for all Venezuelans in the formation, implementation, and operation of their democracy.
Venezuela has become truly, of the people, by the people and for the people, after years of US intervention and suppression.

There is at last hope for us all, a chance to end inequality, and injustice. :)

Have we been duped by the government? If you listen to a lot of the facts that could not have been coincidences and all the factors which would have had to happen to allow 19 "terrorists" who couldn't fly a kite to overcome the worlds most powerful multi trillion dollar defense system etc etc.... You can't deny what happenned now seems a little fishy? For example why would WTC building 7 collapse in 5 seconds exactly like a controlled demolition when it wasn't even hit by a plane or anything? Maybe we should take a fresh look at this and not through the jaded eyes of nationalism and a war mentality! Could the events of 911 have been staged to get us into the middle east for a bigger geopolitical plan? Please go to http://www.911truth.org and have an open mind. I am not saying the whole truth is known but this site will make you ask a lot of good questions. .......
Good luck....You will know the truth and it will set you free!

There are many time when I feel freedom of speech is taken to far. There are many of them a couple is the burning of our nations flag ... that Westboro Baptist Church is another. Those totally stupid people would picket our fallen soldiers funerals! These were the very people that fought to keep the rights for hate lovers like the Westboro Baptist Church to say the very things they did.

I know that there is an amendment that prohibits this picketing soldiers funerals that was passed recently. That is good because I really hate to think that there are people out there that are so cruel and heartless as to picket a funeral where the fallen soldier's family is greiving over their loved one.. Same on you Westboro Baptist Church, may you burn in the same hell you wish upon everyone else.

SUICIDES or attempt to suicide have always been considered a punishable offence by Indian Law.Don't you feel that a man must have absolute right over his life-and if he does not consideres it worth living , and has willingly decided to put an end to it ,why should the court then be wasting its time on deliberating upon such the issue?Isn't it a complete waste of the time and efforts discussing such issues?please send in your opinion...even a slightest effort from your side would be greatly acknowledged.

In some parts of Great Britian, it is common practice for the government to take possession of the house of someone who is taken into care because they are unable to cope alone.
This property is often something the person has worked and paid tax for all his or her life yet the Government can legally snatch it from them and spend the proceeds any way it likes.

I think this practice is disgusting and should be voted out immediatly. what do you think?

we trained osama bin laden because we wanted him to help us fight the ussr even though we already knew what his ideas were. we helped to start the spread of fundamentalist islamic ideas in the middle east, and then we gave hussein all the chemical and biological weapons so he could help us fight them. saveral decades later we went to war on the supposed notion that we were mad at him for keeping the weapons we gave him.
don't believe me?

My husband and I have been batteling the courts since April of this year, due to the fact we had an agruemnent that was purly a verbal one and the arresting officer already hates my husband brought up a chainsaw. And so we are fighting to get the chages reduced, however the courts have since put us on a no contact order, and we are trying to raise to kids in 1 home, and just live our lives, however we went and got married. Which the courts do not know yet. So my question I guess is would it do more harm then good to tell the courts that we are legally married now?

My son got scared and pulled into a parking lot of a business. THe man then rear ended him three times pushing him into another car. THe man then jumped out according to witnesses and kicked in the passanger side rear window. My son did not know at the time that one of the kids in his car had just stolen three cartoons of cigarettes from a tabacco place. The only ticked issued was to the 17 year old who stole the cigarettes, and was arrested. THe officer wrote it up as an accident report. I have since left a message with the chief of police. That this was not handled the right way. THe guy who did all the damage did not even have auto insurance and was not issued a ticket. The charge I have now been told has been changed to a reckless conduct charge against the guy who did the damage. I am still waiting to get a copy of that report. But I still have to take this to small claims court to get reimbursed for damages. I think the charge should have been agravated reckless conduct.

In your own "OPINION" do you think George bush had anything to do with the bombing of the 9/11. If so, How was he involved. Please no sources, only opinions count, and keep it short & sweet.

If Iran launched missles in the same manner as North Korea did yesterday, would GWB be behaving in the same manner or would he be carpet bombing right now.

I think he is a coward.

So Iran will appeal to the U.N. to punish North Korea and the U.N. will say okay but you have to agree to inspection of nuclear facilities and Iran will say okay and with U.N consent, the U.S. can bomb North Korea?
