Politics & Government - 21 July 2006

When discussing Richard Clarke's book when it first hit the news Ted Koppel put it best in regard to the attacks, often personal being made against Mr. Clarke. Koppel said the point of any news investigation should be to get at the truth. Koppel went on to say that even before Clarke we already knew the truth. "The truth had been coming out in drips and drabs from sources like O'Neal and others". The truth, to quote Koppel is "it's not so much that Bush and his administration ignored terrorism before 911. It's that Bush and his administration obsessed over Iraq to the detriment of all else."

So all the Downing Street memo does is confirm from yet another source what Bush's actions, the facts and several other sources have been screaming at us for years. Namely that Bush lied and over 100,000 people have died.

Now those are the facts. Now if Bush's lies are as serious as lying about a BJ and deserve impeachment is a test for our people, press and national honor.

"Do you see the current situation in the Middle East as ultimately a good thing in the sense that it may galvanize the world into a decisive (albeing probably very destructive) global struggle the termination of which will lead to the irrevocable ascendency of liberal Democracy throughout the entire world, but particularly throughout the Muslim world? Or is the situation an auger of ominous times and possibly the end of the world as we know it?"

Alot of muslims are simply fighting to destroy Israel and kick the Jews out of the Holy Land. If they could defeat Israelis were do they expect the Jews to go? And would that not make them the same as the Palistinine refugees today? How would that solve the problem...it won't because the terrorist don't want to solve the problem they just want death to Israel, just as they chant everyday with such hatred! Death to Israel...Death to America...and they wonder why we think they are barbaric. I've never seen an American protest with ppl chanting death to any country!

We're always being told not to make fun of homosexuals, cross-dressers,etc. Now you will never see me making fun of them on here, I don't think it's right to make fun of anyone.
But the very people who preach tolerance toward sexual orientation are the first to call ann coulter names like "transvestite" "drag queen" and other gay-bashing terms. Is that not hypocritical?

Do you think that could it be other reasons? I mean, history showed that wars always hide more that one . Could it be anything besides Hezbollah in this conflict?

nobody wanted me around. I moved to New Jersey and got beaten up weekly. Now, after all this hard time, I decide I want to go back to Manhattan - to go back home, Do I have the right to take back the house that my father used to own? If I reminded everyone constantly of what a victim I have been over the years, will no one notice that I beat the s h i t out of the new owners of the house in order to take it back. Can I convince you that he is a terrorist every time he truies to get his property back?
Will you believe me and actually send me lots of money and better weaponry to help me keep the house?

A simplistic analogy at best, but I think you get the point. You would call the cops and have me put in jail. Right?

Don't talk to me about modifying a toaster. Please refer to relevant copyright / intellectual property law. I am aware of the Sony case in the High Court - I am not convinced that this case means it is okay for Xboxes because they are built differently.

Again, don't just say "I'm allowed to mod because I bought it and I can do what I want with it."

If relevant, please make reference to the Microsoft License Agreement, which all Xbox users allegedly agreed to.

That's absolutely NOT true. I abhor the war Bush has started over in Iraq, but I wish nothing but the best for our men and women over there. I hope they get their job done and get home as soon and as safe as possible. My own father retired after 20 years in the military. I'm thankful every day for our armed services. Yet I don't get that people think you have to support Bush in order to support the troops. Someone please explain.

would you feel uncomfortable voting for a woman and instead vote for her male opponent? Even if she was right on all the issues, would it still bother you that she was a woman?
