If we stopped going after terrorists, do you think they will stop their aggressions against the U.S.? What are we supposed to do, be nice to the world bullies so they will be nice back?

Does the American public really believe that a bunch of cavemen have ambitions to fly airplanes??? Is it not clear that a Boeing 757 did not hit the pentagon!!! Do you believe that a Boeing 757 can create a 16 foot opening in the pentagon? If so where was the plane parts and why wasn't the lawn of the pentagon ripped up?
Isn't it safe to say that what could have hit the pentagon was a cruise missle? I do not ask these things as a Republican or a Democrat but as a American worried about his constitution. Couldn't this just be something our government did to make us accept this coming of the New World Order? Bush Sr. plainly admitted to us that he had plans for a new world order and then threw it in our face saying we would be succesful!!! Impeach this administration of gangsters!!!

Sen. Hagel R. Neb thinks the republicans have forsaken financial responsibility in favor of big govt. and deficits. I agree with him and think they should go back to their conservative economic ideology. What do you Bush supporters think?

I've always considered myself a person who takes everybody on face value and doesn't discriminate.
However , recently I've moved to "middle England" and to be honest a predominantly white neighbourhood. The other day I saw an Asian guy near our street, instead of treating him like they normally do in the south (ie ignore them, (not what I am used to in the North!!)), I went out of my way to say hello as I wanted him to feel welcome, ie treating him differently because he was Asian, does that make me a racist? If I wasn't racist surely I would have treated him like any other neighbour and ignored him.
This is a genuine question , if we lived in a non-racist society surely we would have to be completely colour blind, wrt positive and negative aspects.

"The debate over illegal immigration heated up Sunday in the small New Jersey town of Riverside, with close to a thousand people taking to the streets.

The occasion was a protest against a township ordinance adopted last month that bans the hiring and housing of people who can't offer verification that they are in the U.S. legally.

Hundreds of protesters gathered in front of the Riverside Township Municipal Building during the afternoon, while several hundred massed across the street as part of a counter protest."

"Both the Riverside and Hazleton ordinances have been challenged in federal court. The challenge to the Riverside ordinance contends that the town is assuming powers that more rightfully rest with the federal government.

Residents of Riverside and township officials say the ordinance targets illegality, not immigrants. Gary Christopher, chairman of the local planning board, said there is nothing wrong with "making it uncomfortable to be illegal."

Don't give me crap about posting in the Government section, because USPS is a gov't agency.

We've been expecting mail from Austria for weeks now, and it typically gets here in about 6-10 days. The odd thing is that for the past week and a half, the PO Box has been COMPLETELY empty.
In another instance, I was expecting a package from South Africa. Two or three months later, I hear it came back "Return to Sender," and apparently the postmark says it DID reach the US.
So this guy I live with is ranting, and says Bush got busted spying on people. I missed that headline. What did I miss?
There's a woman I know a few states over who has business mail returned when she knows the addresses are correct and current. WHAT IS THE DEAL?

Anyone have ANY idea what's up with the US mail system lately???

they deserve a fair trial just like all people in the united states.

they deserve to have their rights read to them in an understandable manner, a trial, and a speedy one i might add, and a verdict decided by their piers

all criminals other than illegals, citizens or not, get a fair trial. why not them?
