what would you do if this happened to you, and don't consider this a joke, cause it's not.

People have moved next to you in an apartment building, and are speaking to you nonstop either via speakers placed up against or inside the adjoining walls of two units. Thus, a constant audio procucing system is in place that broadcasts directly to you what these people want to say. You could call this auditory torture. They constantly talk to you and comment/ criticize your actions, for no reason other than extortion/ sick desires. What would you do?

We had a democrat in office. We wouldn't be America now. We would be getting 9/11's once a year.

Just a comment, This is probably what every leader has pondered since the dawn of man. Democracy does work, people.

In the Detroit Freepress they ran an article about the American military starting to turn against the war in Iraq. Many of the troops are asking "Why are we in Iraq". I say this is a turning point. Anyone remember Vietnam in 1969? That's when the American military said "Enough!".

Anyone ever go to like the dailykos for example??
I just went there for the first time and these people are nuts.
It's nothing but really how they hate President Bush. That's about it.
Anyone else ever go there for a good laugh?
I admit I love listening to the conspiracy theory wackos about 9-11 and everything else. Its puzzling to think some idiot ACTUALLY believes it.
Your thoughts?

The BBC reported that "A secret wiretapping scheme brought in as part of the Bush administration's war on terror is unconstitutional and must stop, a federal judge has ruled.

The programme, approved by President Bush in 2001, allows for the monitoring of millions of US citizens' phone calls abroad without the need for a warrant.

Civil liberties campaigners brought the case against the programme, which was uncovered by the US media.

The White House says the scheme is legal and is seeking an appeal.

In her 43-page ruling on the case, Judge Anna Diggs Taylor in Detroit said that the surveillance programme violated protections on free speech and privacy."

What do you think about this decision? The federal government is planning to appeal, do you think it will hold up in appellate court?

Im not completly Anarchist. I just believe that the government shouldn't be involved in our life's as much as it is. Yes, I do believe it has some good, because it definitely does. So what's a way to explain this to someone?

I have seen many post and oppinions from people who do not think it is the government's job to provide education, but I haven't really heard solutions. So my question is what is the alternative solution to our educational needs? Are alternatives feasable to give a chance for education to all in our country?

"on Friday, a government official close to the case said immigration agents have decided against entering the church to remove Arellano.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because it is against ICE policy to discuss operational matters, said the Arellano case carries "no more priority than any of the other 500,000 fugitives nationally."

She will be apprehended "at an appropriate time and place," the official said"

So...... Does that mean she can stay there for years and years like the other 500,000 have been milling around for years?

I think they should go in and get her so as not to encourage others.

What do you think?

These 2 companies (they could be the same acctually) keep calling my cell phone and telling me that either a credit or debit card I have that ends in XXXX wants to reward me with a free gas card & cash. It's a total scam because they keep asking for my husband too, but by his nickname, not his legal name and the the four XXXX #s are not on any of our credit cards. I know it's a TOTAL SCAM but who and how do I report it? My caller ID gives me a phone # for one of them (who proptly hang up when I refuse to let them speak to my husband) and the other comes up on my caller ID as 0000000000. I did call my cell phone provider and they stated the cannot trace it. How do I report this?

Napalming of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto - although there was factories in all of these cities, there was a very dense civilian population. Casualties for civilians were roughly 80,000 people for Tokyo alone. All burned to death.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki - conservatively estimates say a total of 100,000 people died. And although there were military bases here, was it still justified? Imagine attacking Los Angeles or San Diego to destroy military installations containing 5000-7000 military personnel at most.

Although we justify these attacks through Pearl Harbor, Pearl Harbor was a military target. Only 2,403 American servicemen and 68 civilians were killed.

I really don’t want to bring up Vietnam or Iraq.

We prosecute war criminals of other countries, but why don’t we hold ourselves to the standard we set? Doesn’t this damage out nation’s image?
