muslims dont drink maybe they could be more trusted to fly planes than ppl who are on the juice all the time. I mean that drunk piolet could get all the ppl killed.
but then you could not rule out sucide bombings by a muslim pilot could you??
(just trying to be sarcastic)

From everything that I've heard and seen regarding their collapse looks too controlled. I've seen numerous documenteries and such that show the construction of the towers and their collapse. The top should have fallen off like when you cut the top of a tree off, only much different since it's a building, not a tree. The bottom part would still get crushed but the top wouldnt fall straight down like that.

Steel keeps it's structural integrity at up to 2500 degrees and the buildings main steel support was a column of posts in the center surrounding the elevator shafts. The fire may have burned hot enough to melt the posts and cause a collapse, but not a perfect straight down one like that, the odds of it going like that once are phenomenal, let alone twice which is what were expected to believe.

You know the ones their cutting. I'm a tax payer myself but don't mind paying taxes that help people even if some people cheat the system. Think of the ones you help the ones who need it.

Everytime I say something about North Korea he cries like a baby and shakes like a leaf in the wind. Why? Is it because he got his rear end beat by the Korean Army? He's 74 now and is scared to death of North Korea. After all these years he's still scared. As he says today " I was one scared Marine".

The soldier from Hawaii stationed in Seattle. Should he go to jail or not? I believe that he raised his right hand and should go to jail for refusing to go to Iraq. He should have measured the pros and cons of joining the service in 2003. What are your thoughts about this matter Lt. Ehren Watada?

We are so powerful. So Big. Modern. Yet......We are being hurt day in and day out by the rag tag Insurgents. OH!!! The shame of it all. An Army in a foreign land so far removed from the modern Army ( More like the Flintstones Army ) yet able to make the Marines carry their butts day in and day out. Excuse me while I stop writing and hang my head in shame.

I've seen prior questions on boycotting gas. I commented saying if they choose the date, I will avoid buying gas on that date and I suggested that they email everyone else too. They've never emailed me. Hmm.. I guess they weren't serious. People need to put their ACTIONS where their mouths are. So, I've decided to take this little grassroots, movement on myself. It may not get off the ground but I'll do what I can, including emailing all those who posting they're interested.

Don't care if people still buy gas on this day. People said in answer to this question in prior posts that it is not worth it 'cuz there will always be someone who will buy gas. I'm not going to be defeatist about it. I'm not going to worry what others may do-just focus on my actions.

Personally, I'm doing this for the Earth- you may do it to lower gas prices, get back at Bush, whatever. If you want, join me. Email me too. I like the 13 of every month. I'll pick the most popular date among my replies. :)

Just read a news article about dealing with UK's youth crime and Cameron, the UK conservative leader said "Cameron will say that there should still be "painful consequences" for criminal acts, but "a lot more love" should be shown for those who keep within the bounds of good behaviour." HAVE A WORD These little B******** need to be sent to boot camp, teach them some respect, not hugged and told "hey, respect people and rewards will flow your way" Anyone else hate hippies?

It is unrealistic to win a war on terrorism. We are the cause of terrorism and thats why it struck us. When we kill one terrorist cell 5 more pop up in its place. We create terrorism in our policies and our culture. Not to mention we are one of the biggest terrorist in the world. Yup we dropped two bombs on innocent people. So i am sick of hearing we are going to win a BS war on terrorism.

There is no plane to be found anywhere in any photo taken of the pentagon on or after the events of 9/11. Not a wheel, a piece of luggage, a body. Even with all the camera's at the Pentagon, covering every square inch of the property there has only been 5 frames released from one camera, the date in the corner is wrong and it shows what appears to be just an explosion. A gas station who's camera was positioned so the pentagon was in view when it all happened was immidiately confescated. The hole itself isn't even large enough to have been made by a 747.

"Our foreign policy is in shambles. At a time terrorists will soon have nuclear weapons in suitcases to set off in our subways and nuclear plants, we have failed miserably in the war in Afghanistan, created a full blown civil war in Iraq that is now engulfing the entire Middle East, and completely failing in the war on terrorism which is causing a quantum leap in the recruitment of terrorists and suicide bombers all over the world, and pushing us further daily into an unprecedented nuclear crisis … and no one asks why …

I am pissed. It is over a billion a day we spend over there out of our pockets. Do we pay more per day for the soldiers and equipment and all the goodies in Iraq than people pay in taxes per day (mostly income tax I'm referring to) here in the states?
