What do you think? And to think this country will soon become the only superpower makes me shiver.

"Britain and America, as the main associates of the Zionist regime in its offensive to Lebanon, should compensate Lebanon's damages. Those governments should answer for their crimes in Lebanon," he said in his speech, a copy of which was made available by Iranian diplomats.

Mother died 6 wks ago. Father has bad eyesight and trusts family members. He didn't see when a family member got checkbook to pay bills, that she took a check from back of book.
The check cleared the bank and I got a copy of it. It is not my mother's handwriting or signiture and was written while she was in hospital. I nor my father know the person that it's made out to. It was cashed at issuing bank. $800.
I know who did it, I only want solid proof before I confront them. They're the only others that had access, they are married but unemployed and would do it together.
Don't want the law involved, but I WILL deal with them and it won't be pretty.
Haven't done a people search yet, am going there now, but any suggestions are welcome.

Must a nation have established borders, be able to set limits for and control over whom/how many "outside" people are allowed inside its' borders, and be able to secure its' borders in order to actually be defined as a country? Can a country truly exist if, by definition, it really has open borders and open access by all? Are there any examples (ignoring the current immigration situation here in the US) of any major countries that have or ever have had open access inside its borders/territory and, if so, what was the effect of this policy/phenomenon to the nation and its' citizens?

So i've been having conversations with my wife and I've come to realize she's pretty brainwashed just like a lot of other Americans. These are some things she said, tell me what you think.

On the war in Iraq and the justification given for the war she said:
"they had bombs pointed at us, they said it on the news, i don't want them to bomb us."

On the presidential elections she said:
"my mom, and my grandaddy always voted republican, so I always look to them first."

On the patriot act:
"what is that, hey we still have all our freedoms and can say whatever we want and do whatever we want, so bush must be doing something right."

These are just some of the things she's said, what do you think about these?

If they find them to be a friend , will they still write the ticket?Most people are working as hard as they can just to make ends meet.Why then on a slight infraction do cops find every thing they can just to write a ticket.Could just one say"I understand go and sin no more".If there is one out there,I haven't met him yet.When I get stopped,I kiss a$$ as good as anybody and still get the ticket.How about trying a little kindness.

Apart from Old Sid, this idea found favour in the pub last night. In future the world's fighting forces can only be made up of people over seventy.

today I went to parliemantery, to visit one of my friends...
I went there wearing gray track-suit, a gray shirt and training shoes..(things I always wear)
But they did not let me in untill my friend came and yelled to the security guards and picked me up..
But if all the politicians wore pijamas they would let me in..
That incident made me think... Why dont all the politicians wear pijamas?
I would be great to see Annan and Bush wearing boxers... lol..
