1. They do jobs many won't do
2. They're just trying to make a better life in America
3. They love America and it's laws, but it's sooo hard to work legally and still live
4. America couldn't run without these women (and men) on their backs!
5. It's America's fault that they are prostitutes! America makes them illegal. America fines and imprisons them for doing illegal activities. But then they are back on the street the next day. So obviously the people in power want prostitutes. Don't blame the ho, blame the rich 'John' paying for her/him!


I'm not for prostitution any more than illegal immigration. Hopefully I've made a point though.

I'm not trying to be racist ( I don't know how calling an ethnic group rich is offensive), but I've noticed that most Jews are rich. They are usually part of the upper class of society. So why is that?

(a) the NEP which discriminates the other races in Malaysia was meant for the poor Malays.
(b) the vampite politicians like Rafidah and Nazri with many others have pinched all the moneys like Telecoms shares,APs and taxi licences and kept it for themselves.
(c) the poor Malay population are under the delusion that they are the preferred people but in fact the rich fat Malay elite population is making all the money to the detriment of the poor.
(d) standing by the side are the other poor Malaysians with the poor Malays who after nearly 5 decades are 2nd class citizens, who sing the Negara Ku and learn the Rukun Negara ( whatever that is) and I am referring to the latter former group waiting for bread crumbs to fall.
AND THE STRAW that breaks the camels back is that while all this S Africa aparteid is going on Hishamuddin the Education Minister a lawyer is carrying a kris to Parliment and assaulting people in Parlment and Khairuddin ( Oxford) is doing a great injustice to his father.

I rented ahouse for 2 yrs I moved out because my landlord was really mean to me when my husband was not at home.When I moved in I signed a 1 yr lease and he told me to hang as much stuff on the walls as I wanted because he was going to have to paint when I moved out.He would show up all the time with no notice to go through the house and during the summer he would come and hook up my water hose and water his plants for 1 and a half hours a week even though I was the one paying the water bill. One day he came over and was being an *** so I told him we were moving and he said ok so 4 days later I moved.The day we moved I cleaned the house and mowed the yard.Now he is threatning to take me to court.He kept my $400 deposit and says I owe him $317 he is charging me $97 for paint and $200 for labor for painting and cleaning I don't think I should have to pay because the house c=was clean when I left and he said when I moved in he was going to paint when I left anyway.

Surely if he has lost one appeal, he should not be allowed another. How long does the taxpayer have to keep paying out until these people are deported?

If I get recalled from IR and my salary is decreased, does the military have a plan for that? Or will I just loose everything I cant afford.

Seeing that-
Engineering Magazine "Popular Mechanics" debunked the 9/11 myths (John McCain also Chimes in):
http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/defense/1227842.html

And a guide to "loose change" has sprung up that answers every sneering accusation the video makes line by line:
http://www.loosechangeguide.com/LooseChangeGuide.html

In the face of all this reason, how can anyone still believe it was a conspiracy by the government?

Are they just stupid? Or is it that they "want" to believe and pin some holocaust type human moral crime on this administration?

BONUS QUESTION:
1) If the government has the resources to plan and orchestrate 9/11 and doesn't mind killing 3000 people, why wasn't the college kid who made the 9/11 conspiracy video "loose change" killed?

Clinton beat Geo HW Bush because Perot split the Republican ticket. Geo W Bush beat Gore because Nader split the Democrat ticket. If we're gonna have 3rd party candidates, shouldn't we also have run-offs (if no candidate gets more than 50% of the votes)? Also... is it time to do away with the electoral college???

I am not saying I hate liberals. We need liberals, we need balance. But why is there so much bulls*** on this forum about crazy conspiracie like "the U.S. went to war in Iraq for oil" or "9/11 was a hoax" or "Bush is trying to control the world"??? I don't agree with everything he does either, but this is just propaganda. The same people that criticize him for being stupid magically think he is capable of pulling of 9/11 and steal all of Iraq's oil.

A well dressed young man and woman were in my back yard the other day looking into my window with binoculars and writing something down in a notebook. When I went outside to find out what they were doing, they were gone. Then a minute later I noticed them sitting in a van in front of my house, again with the binoculars pointed towards my window and writing. I yelled out "exuse me?" and they sped away. Who are these people and what do they want?

I called the police and made a report but they were clueless.

I think Communism is great and it could really work! Nations like the former Soviet Union & East Germany, and modern North Korea, Cuba, and Vietnam are not good examples of true communism, they have become controlling and oppresive, and that's not what communism is really all about. I think true Commism could work very well in the United States. Thanks for your opinion!

COMMUNISM - IT'S GREAT!

Many Americans seem to be mostly unaware that we are losing our freedoms and rights. Things such as seat belt laws, and random road side check points that allow unwarrented searches and the laws put into place that allow police to do pretty much anything if they claim it is the name of the war on terrorism. A hundred years from now, Americans will have almost no freedom if the trend continues. You will be told how to think and almost every aspect of your life will be under government control. Freedom as it was known 100 years ago may not exists at all anywhere in the world 100 years from now. We cannot continue to forsake the personal rights that every person deserves if we wish to maintain any level of freedom. Will Americans continue to allow the erosion of freedoms until it's too late to turn back?

A) Terrorists can't be negotiated with. They must be killed or captured. "They hate us" because they - Muslim extremists - hate freedom. In the post-9/11 world, the US cannot wait for "imminent" threats. It must aggressively - even preemptively and unilaterally, if necessary - wipe out terrorist networks and the governments that support them. At the same time, the US can work to emasculate terrorism by aggressively promoting the cause of freedom and democracy around the world.

B) American hypocrisy and hubris led to the Sept. 11 attacks. To answer the question "Why do they hate us?" Americans must question the "might makes right" approach of US foreign policy. To win the war against terrorism, US leaders must remove the conditions that breed anti-American hatred.

Common tactic to do civic participation in world politics are boycotts of all kind. There has been campaigns around the world promoting boycott of companies in Israeli ownership. For me a boycott is an act of hate.

Instead of boycotts could we support companies which are owned by both the Israeli and Arab capital. Companies that work across the borders. Wouldn't this kind of a campaing promote cooperation? Act of love? Do you these companies actually exist?

What's your opinion about this idea?
