Politics & Government - 16 August 2006

Just watched “Loose Change” and read some of the counter arguments. I have no strong opinion either way - no time to study the details. But it seem like some of the claims would be easy to either confirm or refute. If Flight 93 really landed in Cleveland, then a bunch of workers or spectators should be able to confirm this. If it really crashed in Pennsylvania, then some people should have witnessed that. And if a plane (or a missile) hit the Pentagon, then lots of people should have seen the details. And finally, some reports say that the planes hitting the WTC were not actually passenger planes (no windows, etc). But wouldn’t people at the top of nearby sky scrapers have been close enough to see details? (I don’t know NY very well…perhaps there were no nearby sky scrapers?) Anyway, I’m wondering who here can offer their own eye witness accounts, or suggest a website that lists eye-witness accounts either confirming or contradicting the official story?

I can honestly say that I don't believe that there are a more stupid and naive group in the world as US liberals.

Or is it just me? Both display fascist ideologies. Nazism combined racialism, Socialism, nationalism, and anti-Semitism, much like the Iranian leadership (the mullahs and ayatollah assaholas) does now. And the European Union, with France out front, chooses to turn a blind eye to this aggression.

It seems to me that currently, while the U.N. and most of the world twiddles their thumbs, another radical dictator sets its sights on the annihilation of the Jews, much like the world did with Hitler in the days leading up to WWII. Is history repeating itself?

Answer yes or no and add any comment, the best comment wins. Bonus question: do you know all the US ammendments.
Be honest don't research before saying YES. There are some folks offering a million dollars to whoever finds such Income Tax law, if you can also mention who are these guys then it will definetly be a plus.

Isn't that discrimination to single out disabled people from wanting to join? I'm disabled & desperate! to join the Air Force, and there are many people who are in the military & don't like it. I wish I could take their place.

I am leaving on the 22nd of this month anyways. I have already paid $80/$285 of this months rent. I have never defaulted on my rent payment but I am broke this month as school is staring soon and need to save money for books. And my landlady is such a ***** I fear she wouldnt give me back my deposit worth $225. So what will happen if I don't pay the rest of the rent and leave ? Can the court take me to jail or charge me fee or somdthing if I leave without paying the full rent ? I HATE THIS OLD B*****!

Is he related to George W. Bush?
What was his occupation, and what was he best known for?
Why is he no longer in the news?

you can join the military and kill people when you are 18. Though you cannot go into a bar, and enjoy a beer until you are 21.

Thats grim, you cant go to a bar after you get your legs blown off. From a roadside bomb.

There's been a gang of robbers around where I live. They look at names in a phone book (they only steal from people of my ethnicity) and then go rob the house. Do you think these robbers would call our house first?

I watch the news a lot - I watched all the president's speeches. I don't like how Bush presents himself, and I think he's got a lot of things wrong in his head, but going into Iraq makes a lot of sense when you're looking IN GENERAL for terrorists. I don't think Bush claimed ONCE that Iraq had anything to do with Al Qeida or was in any way affiliated with 9/11. I watched every speech, and he didn't claim that they were connected. He DID say though, that Saddam is a power capable of such acts, and can't be allowed to rule the state when he does not comply with UN resolutions to ensure that he is not plotting terrorism, storing ANY weapons, building an army... etc. These were all in the UN resolution written post Iraq War I, and for about 4 years Saddam didn't comply - So after your country gets hit like that on 9/11, wouldn't it be more insane to NOT go after Saddam than to sit and wait for him to comply? It's a pretty easy defense for going into Iraq, but no one understands...

...but don't call it genocide when Shiites kill many more Sunnis in Iraq (or Sunnis killing Shiites for that matter)? Worse yet, in Iraq it is truly based on your ethnicity. Militants stop a bus and check your ID. If you have a name from the 'wrong' group, you're dead.

Did You Know? Arellano had got swept up in a U.S. Justice Department raid in 2002 that targeted security breaches at our nation's airports. Arellano, working as a janitor cleaning airplanes, was arrested for using a false Social Security number and ordered back to Mexico. Is This An Example Of The Chruch Going People Showing Us They Are Above The Law?
