If youre coaching a sports team and you have a player that: gets into multiple altercations with fans and staff, demands a pay raise in contract, shows up late or not at all for practice, disrespects and criticizes thier teammates, disrespects other teams, generally becomes a liability for the entire season, for the most part needs a damn babysitter, sits back to himself and says "Im doing a good job" "this is a hard position to play" "I think Im gonna play this sunday", what would you do with a player like that??

There are no American troops in Lebanon other than evacuating citizens. ISRAEL is dropping bombs...not America. Do we take the heat for EVERYTHING now? How about blaming Hezzbolah for firing the first rockets and snatching Israeli soldiers?

Sorry, its the same question as yesterdays but the point is the police cud have done it in a politer way without wanting him to sit like that.
Why make him kneel like that with his hands up? Is'nt that embarassing? Is he running away somewhere? There were many of them to guard him.
And for others who asked me why they checked his cars, his car was checked for weapons they say. But this has become very common. How can they stop and interrogate every commoner and publicly humiliae them like this.
For people who havent seen the question. It read
"Is this right?
Yesterday my friend told me that he was asked to put his hands up , get out of his car and kneel down before the police on the ground. After searching the car and its documents, he was let free and was apologized to by the police.
But who will pay for his pain for he was like that for about 10 to 15 minutes and who will pay for the humiliation caused during that time as to many others saw him in that humiliating position."

Is it possible that President GW Bush is actually a good person? I admit, I voted for him. I have since lost all respect for him and blame him for 9/11, in full. However, I have MANY family and friends who fully support him. I cannot discount this fact because I know these are good and intelligent people. So I ponder, almost constantly, the question of "How or why can my family and friends support GW Bush?" Last night I came up with the following possibility.

Did Pres. Bush HAVE to SHOCK the country into a transformative state in order to raise the level of consciousness of the mass population of this nation and possibly, the world?

What that means to me is that since 9/11, I have done a LOT MORE thinking about how better to prepare my children for the future. Before 9/11, I was not concerned for their safety. Now, realizing that our own government will MURDER anyone in their path to attain a goal, be it oil profit, or just moving to a One Government World, I find myself ....

If Syria is brought into the current conflict, will Iran really stand by its words and get into it as well?

And if Iran comes in, is this what America is actually waiting for to enter?

And lets assume all this happens, will Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries use its military to help the Muslim world and will Pakistan use its Nuclear Technology on Israel to bring a forever end to this conflict?

Why does Europe in general support self-determination but not England and Spain, naming just two. Whats the reasoning behind it? Why aren't referendums being held in nations were independence is the opiniun within the majority?

When it is not raining, not snowing, you will see the cops (cars) hiding in highway, some hidden place and trying to catch you and give you ticket. But when it is storm, snowing, ranining, you don't see them hiding anymore. What are they doing at time like that anyway? We regular workers have to work regardless the weather.. What about them?

As one or several states of the Union ? Think about it... the British have had their time to be influential as a nation and it is over. They can either be dominated by the French and Germans in the EU... or it could come full circle with them joining the country which once left theirs. Think about it:

- No more obsolete monarchy which does nothing anyway and smacks of discrimination(a Catholic can never ascend the British throne).
- No more forced metric measurements. You can drink a PINT of beer again, instead of 400 mL. Shouldn't the English use ENGLISH measurements, not ones the French made up ?
- You could once again be part of the most powerful ENGLISH speaking nation. And a British state as part of the US would be the most powerful state able to wield REAL power in US and world affairs.

I saw that for the House vote to support Israel, the only people to not support it, in a both democrat and republican supported resolution, were the people from Michigan. State with the highest Muslim population. They news said it was because they are doing this for their voting blocks? So their voting blocks, in Michigan, are terrorists? They support Hezbollah? They support Bin Laden and his people? My thinking if I live there, is really to wonder who we elected? You people are already screwed by letting organized crime..I mean labor , take over your jobs but you better get your heads out of the sand with this story. Anyone else see that?
