Politics & Government - 16 August 2006

I'd rather have an open mind than be a stick in the mud. I'd rather that the money I pay in taxes would go to help other citizens. I'd rather the government help people when their cities have been decimated by hurricanes, floods, etc. I'd rather try to see Arabs, Israelis, Mexicans, all people, as just that: people, with all their various ways of thinking, all their bumps and sins, all their beauty. (Because we are all made in the image of God, right ? ) (That's a question for the Christian fundamentalists) Remember: "Love your neighbor as yourself"? (Jesus, when asked about the greatest Commandment.) What's wrong with feeling that whatever I do to the least of Jesus' brothers (Jews and Arabs would be closest kin, wouldn't they), that I do unto Him?
And, if you're NOT Christian, what's wrong with the golden rule?
Oh yeah, one more thing: Who died and made YOU boss?

After the sad events happened on 9/11 the people of this great country were united with our President in fighting the terrorists that attacked us. After whipping up on Al-Quaida and the Taliban alot of people here in the U.S. became complacent and going back to there pre 9/11 days. Then our President decided he wanted to protect us from another day like that so he had the testical fortitude to go after Iraq. Yes the original information we were given was wrong but the facts remained that once the economic sanctions were lifted Iraq would restart their nuclear, chemical and biological programs. Yes Iraq turned out to not be a huge immediate threat but they were a threat that remained for my children. What will it take to wake up Americans and realize in order to crush these animals we have to take the fight to them? As sad as this is will it take another 9/11? Plus do you want these threats to remain in this world for your children and grandchildren to deal with?

when they come here illegally they have there flag everywhere, if mexico's good enough to show a mexican flag why not stay there, why come to the U.S and represent your flag here instead of an U.S flag. it's the least they can do!!

A couple arrested in the plot to blow up 10 to 12 planes from Britain to the US were going to use their baby as a decoy to get bottles of liquid explosive on board. After their arrest, the police allowed the mother to nurse her baby...he was NOT a bottle-fed baby. (btw...the bottles had false bottoms in them!)

What kind of religion would teach that blowing up your baby (with the aircraft) is the way to 72 virgins or whatever????? Good Night!!

I don't think it's good for ANY country to buy into this global dependence in our markets, not for food, not for oil, not for any resources which a country needs for survival. And I just got a response on another question i asked about "Borders" - he says that it's about "globalization"... That's scary, buddy. If we lose our United State identity, we lose the constitution, we lose our soveriegnty to elect leaders of our LOCAL choice, we lose EVERYTHING! There's no guarantees that the new world order will offer you the same freedoms as we still are clinging to today - Look how difficult it is to get anything done with just our own state senators and system of govt. Do you think a representative govt (if we're that lucky) from all nations of the world will get anything done at all? The new world order is a sham, and should never be allowed to come about!!! Defend your freedoms! Defend America! Defend sovereignty!

He is not running for President again. He has done what he is going to do. Why continue to denegrate the man? Are you so narrowly focused on the talking points that have been handed to you by the DNC, that you can't think for yourselves?

Well at work a girl pulled out a knife on me ,and threatned to cut me ,and punch me in my face. The manager sat there ,and allowed this to go about but then when i got enraged after telling the managers about this incident many times about how she disrespect me one manager watches while she waves a knife in my face ,and soon as i start like are you going to cut me or punch me then do it...It's like a small walk way i brushed up on her ,and they call it physical intended contact. i am not too angry with getting fired because I must focus on school ,but they terminated both of us. Will they have to pay me...F.Y.I I am 17 ,and I work at Arbys. well i was a former employee...I think I was not in the wrong when a 27 year old woman has been harassing me for 2months ,and I have complained ,and she waves a nice loosley in my face. The manager said separation papers will be ready tommorow. Do you think they will have to pay me not only this pay ,but for more weeks. I live in Georgia also.

I posted a link to the recording of the firefighters dispatch on 9/11. where they said they dont need a heat detector on the 78th floor and they can put out the fire with just two hoses. not to mention the firefighters hearing many explosions inthe bottom of the building.
is it they are afraid to question what they think they know? are their convictions built on such shaky ground that they cant affor to see a different perspective?
It surely cant be because they question the integrity of a firefighter......

Like I said im not pro or anti illegal, I just think that the whole fighting is a senseless waste of time. You guys are just hurting each other.

I saw Schindlers List and American History X more than 20 times, maybe you guys should too.
