I am listening to the news on BBC and cannot believe the stupidity of some of the people moaning about what they are now having to do with their hand lugagge, i.e pack it into their main luggage.

Maybe if some of the graphic photographs of the aftermath of the three main terrorist attacks were put up around the airport they would realise just what the potential is and that being asked to not carry onto a plane a back packed with items they won't really need is only a minor inconvenience, being dead is a big inconvenience!

While not a major fan of Bush, does anyone really think that Kerry and all of his lies would have been any better? Eliminate the party lines and tell me that with what we had to choose from that the better man is not Bush.

I am wondering why they even bothered, as Gore was a far better candidate.

As you all may know, China and India appear to have the greatest potential amongst all the other nations of achieving superpower within the 21st century. Which country would you prefer and why? I would prefer India because it is a democratic nation, it is our important ally in Asia, and it does have a large english-speaking population.
China is not favorable because they are a communist. It is definitely not our ally. Their foreign policies are self-centered and they are not trustworthy.
I've asked this question before but I got too many dumb responses like, "China - because India will turn into Iraq," or "China...Azian pride!" or "India is dangerous. China is safe." PLEASE DO NOT ANSWER BASED ON PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS.
Use facts! I need intelligent answers.

My favorite is the Thracians because they didn't turn down a fight. They were mercenaries for the Romans. They felt it was a mans place to die in battle. I like the Spartans also because seeing 100,000 of them ready for battle would have been a sight to see, their shields were very colorful as well as having shiny brass armor.

Why do they complain about people taking jobs cleaning toilets and mowing lawns and whenever you dial a 1-800 number in America somebody in India awnsers in English? Thats where all the jobs are going to. (Talking to more competent people here)

I havent heard ANYTHING about China taking jobs away since everything around you, yes eveything is made in China?

Why build a wall to stop terrorism coming from Mexico and not from Canada like they have before?

Why say that they dont pay taxes if they are consumers pay many other taxes than just income and by the way they dont complain and whine about getting paid less than minimum wage? Why only against Mexico and not other south American countries?

I just can't wait to hear all the conspiracy theories. Let's see, George needed to scare more people so he, Cheny, and Rice, oh and Tony Snow was in on it too... decided to blow up 20 airplanes over the Atlantic Ocean last night. Let's see.. then oh ya attention could be diverted away from Iraq and he would be able to secretly invade Iran and steal all the Iranian oil.

Police say they have disrupted a major plot to blow up a dozen planes over UK and US cities with explosive devices smuggled aboard as hand luggage. Police are have arrested 20 people in London - the culmination of a covert counter-terrorist operation lasting several months.

No details given on where these terrorists are from.
