Are you guilty of thinking yours is fact and the other persons is not?
If I agree or disagree with you, does that make it a fact ?
Tell me what you think .

I propose it's another example of a lazy media. They kept stating he was hot headed as if it was a fact, yet there were no examples cited. So when he gave that silly scream, as a rallying cry, not of anger, the media basically said, "See we told you so."
It's not unlike the perception that W is dumb. The media created this and now if he ever makes a speaking error, they say "See, we told you so."
Why don't we demand a press that reports facts and does not speculate. There is a place for speculation in the media, it's called the editorial page. It does not belong on the front page.
And if you choose to answer, please be polite, don't resort to name calling and check your work before turning it in.
Thanks.

Speaking about justice, if this whole Arab-Israeli conflict, from 1948 until today, was placed in front of an international court of "real" low, then carrying out, by means of force if necessary, what ever decision it takes; in whose favor you think that would be?

I know it is just a movie but in the movie the Russians won the war and occupied the U.S. but could not win the occupation. Could this be similar in Iraq? What would Americans do?

Something's happening to our democracy by degrees and it's though the citizens THINK they're powerless to do something about it. Why isn't there a tremendous outcry about what this president's doing to the country?!!

what do you think about the argument over the 9/11 conspiracy on infowars.com? They put up some strong points that werent provided by this administration. I'm no conspiracy nut or anything, but to give a fair and honest opinion, you have to look at the given evidence. There is claimed to be enough to put this administration on trial and PROOVE it guilty. I knew nothing of this until I saw it on C-Span last night. I think they might be onto something.

What the hell is the point of having a United Nations and international laws when everyone just ignores them and does what's right for their own agenda? For example Israel and the US ignoring the UN's plan for cease-fire in Lebanon.

When did it become a policy for the police to report what an arrested person says when arrested? I think the police are the Sh it stirrers. He has a right to his opinion. Anti semitic or not. A lot of folks seem to be Anti-Arab. What is the difference? You hear it on the news every night.

Asked for my friend, her husband is an Army Helicopter IP now in Iraq.
She said:
"We exited the Active Duty Army in 2001. As a Civilian, he was working as a EMS MedEvac Pilot. After a month of moving into a new house, he received word (it was the 4th of July, 2005) that he was being recalled to Active Duty. He would be leaving on our 10th Anniversary.

The kids and I have been relatively isolated as far as military life and support are concerned. I have fallen into a fantastic community who will help whenever they can and I am thankful. I just wonder because there's really no one to ask... what do people in our situation do? Am I doing everything I can?"

Does this mean that a tourist can come here on a tourist, student or work visa and renew it every six months until he's been here 5 years and then become a citizen if he wants... or does it mean that you have to have your green card for 5 years?
And.. is it possible to become a citizen if no one can petition for you?

Don't get me wrong here. I have no sympathies with the KKK or any other racist groups. I'd just like to know why the African-Americans are always shown to be such good god-fearing people in these old movies.
Considering the huge amount of criminality in the black community today why are we being asked to believe they were such saints the 1930's?
Or is it my imagination?

There is a lot to be said for growing up in a small town in Texas. The service itself was impressive with wonderful flowers and sprays, a portrait of James, his uniform and boots, his awards and ribbons. There was lots of military brass and an eloquent (though inappropriately longwinded) Baptist preacher. There were easily 1000 people at the service, filling the church sanctuary as well as the fellowship hall and spilling out into the parking lot.

However, the most incredible thing was what happened following the service on the way to the cemetery. We went to our cars and drove to the cemetery escorted by at least 10 police cars with lights flashing and some other emergency vehicles, with Texas Rangers handling traffic. Everyone on the road who was not in the procession, pulled over, got out of their cars, and stood silently and respectfully, some put their hands over their hearts.
When we turned off the highway suddenly there were teenage boys along both sides of the street about every 20 feet or so, all holding large American flags on long flag poles, and again with their hands on their hearts. We thought at first it was the Boy Scouts or 4H club or something, but it continued .... for two and a half miles. Hundreds of young people, standing silently on the side of the road with flags. At one point we passed an elementary school, and all the children were outside, shoulder to shoulder holding flags . kindergartners, handicapped, teachers, staff, everyone. Some held signs of love and support. Then came teenage girls and younger boys, all holding flags. Then adults. Then families. All standing silently on the side of the road. No one spoke, not even the very young children.
The military presence..at least two generals, a fist full of colonels, and representatives from every branch of the service, plus the color guard which attended James, and some who served with him ... was very impressive and respectful, but the love and pride from this community who had lost one of their own was the most amazing thing I've ever been privileged to witness
