Is it true that if you don't act tough you'll become someone's ***** and get anal raped?

And you have to join a prison gang to get protection from others?

It seems like it's the war aspect that they love and relize it will get bigger with Iran getting involved at some point! This way the middle class be destroyed even faster than dieing of poverty! Do you not agree?

More Conservatives protesting our troops this time by going to funerals of our beloved service men and women and actually protesting our troops. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/07/22/AR2006072200643.html

Conservatives are claiming gays and others are the reason our troops are dieing.

Forget about rumsfelds rude comments about our troops when he said "they might not be the greatest but you run with what you got".

Forget about Bush and Rumsfeld holding back on protective armour for humvee's.

Does this article prove that conservatives hate our troops, and they accuse liberals of doing so in order to hide their contempt for our nations soldiers?

Conservatives if you don't like America then get the hell out!!!

A tradable is a product that can be bought easily from some other country. For example, a pair of scissors is a tradable, a haircut however is a non-tradable, no matter how cheap they may be in China, you'll have to pay local rates. Therefore, tradable prices are limited to international prices whereas nontradables aren't.

The reason I ask is that, if wages were to go up in tradable productive chains, part or the whole those productive chain COULD be outsourced, causing the loss of jobs in the US. That seems to be a reason why business would be against changing anything (amnisty would mean higher wages too). If, on the other hand, they are mainly on nontradable, all that will happen is a little inflation.

Keep in mind that the tradable industry is much less visible than non-tradable because you see a guy mowing lawn, or working on a house, but not working at a steel mill.

So, does anyone have numbers on this? No opinions or rants, please.

There's always plenty of folks ready to criticize leadership and call for peace. Do you honestly think peace is going to be established in this world by men.

Saturday 22 July 2006,

US troops were roundly condemned in the speech



US forces have committed butchery in Iraq and should leave, the speaker of the country's new parliament has said.

Would it be right to seek revenge on him? What about attacking, not just his house, but two or three houses past his house as well?
Now say this neighbor to your left brutally injured or killed your kid. Does it follow that you can increase your response to the entire city block?
If not, why have 30,000+ arabs died for an insane 19?

There are so many people out there who say "It is there fault" and points across the border to the other side. But when you read a story like this, and the truth of the authors words, can you really tell me its worth it?

is there anyway we can speed up a criminal sanction in the European Union or International Courts and get Bush, Cheney, and Rove to face war crimes and mass genocide charges in a world court while BushCo is still in office ? Or do we have to wait until his term is over with or until he is impeached before we move ahead with such action ?

Backround info: 2 years ago, I was driving with my older brother and his friend to Baltimore. We pulled over at a rest stop, and my brother got out. His friend said he was going to repark the car, but drove it into the forest where he raped me. We were unable to bring a sufficient case for rape however, and the friend left. My brother tracked him down without my knowing a week ago and shadowed him, and beat him up. Now my brother is in jail, and his trial is soon. His lawyer wont talk to me, so Im askng for help?: what is the worst that can happen? the best? most likely? for one thing, I need his income in addition to mine to put me through colledge, and support my little sister. I am not qualified to be a parent! (my parents are out of the picture)

If radical Islam takes over this countrty like it is doing in Europe and many other parts of the world, will you assimilate by beating your wife if she shows her face in public and teach your young children to kill those that disagree with your ideas.

Many American citizens regardless of their crime have been imprisoned without any charges, no lawyer representation, and no trial. Why are republicans against this? It just baffles me how much they are close to communism and despot law

The American media and most of the Washington lobbyist groups are right now being run by jews and due to this many Americans think that Israel is their friend. If the media was being run by another group of people who were not jewish, do you think America would still be puppets for the zionists in Israel ?
