And what were the reasons behind this, the quest for oil and diminishing resources for America, the idea of a New World Order - one world, one government or was it for sheer greed and wealth?

Why do we feel we have to apologize for being English. The Blair Government are making it impossible for us to openly say I am English and proud to be so

Should we change the laws to something like this?
Anyone entering the USA on a permanent legal alien basis will have only one period of status. After such time they MUST either apply for citizenship, or leave.

I can see no reason to allow anyone to live thier entire life here, enjoying the benefits, without assuming the responsabilities , as well

Why not, still, stopping the printing and displaying of other languages and have the people who do not want to assimilate pay the burden of translation?

They asked to participate in the American sociaety, nd if they do not want to do so fuylly, why not have them bring qualified interpreters (that would bring jobs to the country) for government appointments and such. Is it not more fair to have the ones causing the 'problem' (for lack of a better trm) pick up the tab?
I do not want my tax dollars spent on more printing due to someone's laziness or desire to have their cake and eat it too!

Anyone who has lived in India and had to deal with any government department will vouch for the rampant corruption prevalent there. From petty beat constable to the cabinet ministers, everyone seems to be in the vicious grip of corruption. This is what bogs down the progress of Indian society.

I say that this is true, except that I guess that means I skipped over ever having a heart. That would make me sad, but again, no heart! Just call me the Tin Man.

It does not make snese to me, hat millions upon millions of dollars are spent each year by my government, printing up various versions of forms, booklets, etc to cater to those that have asked, and been approved, to participate in our society (not to mention the burden of forcing prvate businesses to spend thier own monies to cater to this clientel)!
If you aks to join a baseball team, you have to attain the required equipment (glove, uniform etc...), so why, if one ask to participate in American culture, should that person be allowed to refuse to do so at the basest level (communication)?
I would propose a 6 month period whereby ALL LEGAL aliens MUST stisfacorily complete a language course , one that ends with the person reading, writing, and speaking, in a passable fashion or they would then be removed from the USA.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

This would also make it easier to spot illegals!

1- Today Bush actually claimed his plan is not an amnesty even though it would give immediate legal residency in the U.S to the 12 million illegal aliens and the eventual granting of U.S. citizenship after paying a fine !!!

2 - Pres. Bush said the answer to slowing down illegal immigration is to allow any American company to hire any willing foreign worker. We assume he would require some kind of safeguard for American workers, but he didn't specify any !!!!???!!

3 - Pres. Bush is so out of touch with 86% of Americans on this issue that many Republicans AND even more Democrats are urging everything possible be done to embolden Members of the House to continue to oppose Bush and the Senate bill -- and to stand firm in pushing forward H.R. 4437 passed by the House last December. The House bill would strengthen enforcement in many ways and begin an attrition that would lead to most current illegal aliens going to their home countries over time.

What is President Bush doing !!!?

OK I was complaining about how smut pervades the airwaves but I admit I like South Park. It's ironic, satirical, intelligent and funny. However, kids should NOT be watching it. Kids (and even some adults) cannot detect irony so they still get morally corrupted. It's pretty naive for people to assume that just because it's on at night that kids won't see it, kids as young as 8 even. While I think it should be the parents' job to make sure that kids don't watch it, too many parents aren't doing their jobs, so...? What do you think?

Some say that there was 2 trillion dollars unaccounted for by the pentagon, the US Army accounting office is the agency which would have looked into the missing funds. It just so happens that the one department of the pentagon that was completely destroyed was the US Army accounting office. So which was it.

such as the ten commandments outside a court house and the govt. has it removed that that is going against the constitution and religious persecution. when the State has it removed then they are persecuting Christians (an overwelming majority of the nation). When a judge has something outside his court or whatever govt. institution then that is his beleive, not the govt's.

I don't want to start a semantic or moral argument - the two words are different, and different wars have had different moral positions.

The question is about the effectiveness of fighting methods where one combatant remains forever in the shadows. Have any such wars ever been won by that side without them eventually coming out into the open?
