Politics & Government - 25 July 2006

Currently in the United States corporations like Microsoft, Balboa Insurance, IBM, and other huge companies are pulling the strings on social conduct. These companies are run by groups of people who feel that they should be the be all and end all of society and that the average every day citizen is best controlled by company dictates. Many of you know all the legalese shoved down your throats when going for a job with a company. The legalese dictates what you can and can not say, how to behave, and even implies personal conduct when at home. How do we stop the corporate vultures from being dictators?

John Kerry supports killing unborn children and accepts campaign donations from baby-killing abortion clinics. So, will the fake lying self-called Catholic Kerry go to Hell when he dies ?

Ever noticed when G W Bush has a press meeting with other world leaders, he nearly always repeats himself ... “thank you for your courage ... thank you for your resolve ... thank you for your leadership ... thank you for your vision ... etc etc” He seems to have very little imaginative thought or reason.

Is it possible that G W Bush is closer to the chimpanzee than a normal intellectual human being, and he is unknowingly and in all innocence, converting the world into banana republics and pushing civilisation backwards?

I don't know of one but if there has been PLEASE enlighten me. No one is perfect in the midst of crisis or emergency, unfortunately you have to learn from situations like that & know training or way to perform perfectly. If no responses from Dems or liberals, your silence will speak volumes on this matter!

They think that they need automatic and assault weapons. Their rational is that if martial law was ever declared, and they had to fight the US army, that they would be ready.

This is the most retarded thing I have ever heard. Do they really think they would be able to defeat the most powerful army the world has ever seen with some UZI's and AK 47's?

And they wonder why they are stereotyped as delusional nuts.

Do you think that the 300,000 Poles which have currently moved to Britain have taken Jobs which should have been given to Britidh people and pushed the wages in thousands of jobs down to the minimum wage and do you think they have also taken rooms and accomodation and housing in general in a market which was originally overstretched.

I don’t ask this as a question meant to inflame, but rather to get to understand the ideas opposing this. Those who oppose gay marriage say it threatens marriage. Yet, as a married (happily so) heterosexual woman who firmly supports gay marriage, I can’t quite understand HOW exactly that would be true. If you are heterosexual, knowing gay people are getting married isn’t going to stop you from getting married is it? It’s not going to turn you gay. So how exactly does it weaken marriage? What is the actual logical course of this line of thinking?
