Politics & Government - 31 August 2006

I work for a large multinational oilfield service company and I regularly steal tools, stationary and cleaning materials. I stole the computer I'm typing this on. I even fiddle my timesheets in a mass clocking-in scam with several other people.

I feel bad about this - although I feel I may just be worried about getting caught. Is it wrong? the wages are poor and my boss is a d***. I'm so conflicted. I'm leaving soon anyway, should I go for one last big job? I really feel the need to own a large curved desk and a "managers" chair...

I wonder what actually IS the political philsophy of today? Is there any idealism left? The Power of Nightmares, a BBC documentary, has some interesting points on this. It surmises that since the liberal dream collapsed, politicians can no longer supply us with idealised dreams of the future. To an extent their role collapsed. So they found a new role - to provide us with nightmares of what might happen. It talks about the political philosophy of Leo Strauss, who influenced the Neo-Cons (the right), and compares this to the philosophy of the Islamists. Rather freakily, their philsophies are similar - the world is divided into good and evil. Both the Americans and the Islamists regard themselves as the good; and they must stamp out evil - each other.

You can watch the power of nightmares on Google Video:

The round disc shaped device will be found under the lip on the main body of the bin and not under the lid. You will be committing an offense if you try and move it, as this is council property. The council are monitoring the amount of refuse you have (by weight)and will propose a new law, so you will be taxed on wastage in future. Never forget Big Brother is watching you and moving in!

Looks like the court voted in the favor of the kid who wore a t-shirt that calls Bush (truthfully) a drunk chicken-hawk! LOL

WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld accused critics of the Bush administration's policies on Iraq and terrorism Tuesday of suffering from "moral or intellectual confusion about what is right or wrong."

Considering that over 54% of americans disagree on how Iraq is being handled isn't this statement ridiculous and completely false?
Who else feels that he was completely out of line making this statement?

In this case,the Beneficiary did not know of his criminal
record. Does the Beneficiary loose his Inheritance
merely on a Police record not tested in any Court. Can
the Bank where such Inheritance is lodged need more
than the Court Order as proof of the Funds.

I don't know about you but if a family member of mine commited a horrible crime the police wouldn't take me to safety and not question me. I'm glad the Prince of Saudi Arabia told the US to secure the family members and we obeyed.

I have asked, and answered some pretty screwed up questions on this website, especially one concerning immigration .. (and boy they dont like it if you disagree with the anti immigration league, there is a little klan of them)
And it seems to me that some people are hell bent on hating.. I have tried to put it more eloquently in the past, but failed .. so now i will ask .. why do you hate? what do you get from it? Can you not see that if you are Racist, sexsits, ageist, that its not a matter of people not agreeing with your decent thoughts, it is people not accepting unacceptable behaviour, and I am sorry but constant rantings about immigrants and how bad they are, do wind me up, and the anti klan - they can give it .. they sure can not take it... !!
I am to take the advice of many/most of you , and ignore them.. but I kinda wanna play with them.. but I am wrong arent I ? arguing and winding them up might make them feel silly, but that makes them attack and not change or think

Is the punishment for murder different when they are illegal?? Mexicans stabbed my friend 11 times and beat him to death with a baseball bat. Because they are illegal, could that make a difference in their sentence? Are they still able to be sentenced to life in prison or the death penalty?

The tape that was made and was (said from other people) that it was Bush's fault. Just curious since there are idiots out there that will believe in anything they see on the net and the video can be duplicated or altered in anyway, fashion adn form.

Bush would have never win 2004, if 20%(I think) not voted for them.

What are your solutions?

So I have a friend who is on medicaid. Actually it is his infant daughter who is. He works 60hr. weeks to support his family and cannot afford insurance. His wife stays home with the baby. Recently his In-laws and his wife have been pushing him to take the baby off of medicaid and just pay the bills himself. They feel that it is wrong to be on medicaid. Now some backgroung. they come from upper-middle whites. they are a poor young couple that can barely make their mortgage (hence the 60hr. weeks) this guy feels that if anything he deserves some help from the government. He works hard, is a good citizen, pays taxes. Should he accept help from medicaid or not?
