It's all character assassination with you gies. Mud slinging, muck raking. None of you (on whatever side) have anything rational or positive to say.

Here's an issue: who died and made you think your opinions matter? 9-11 really brought the morons out of the woodwork.

This is what happens with amnesty in absence of border security and enforcement in my opinion.

What do you think?

And what do you think of France's response: " You can't give amnesty to 500,000 illegal immigrants and then shout for help!"

"Spain had granted a legal amnesty last year to hundreds of thousands of formerly illegal immigrants. The Government's change in direction comes in response to unprecedented numbers of people arriving by boat in Spain's Canary Islands from sub-Saharan Africa.

Some 24,000 would-be immigrants have arrived in the first eight months of this year, compared with just 4751 during 2005. More than 1300 have arrived in the past week alone."

Republicans have been saying for months that George W.Bush had nothing to do with high gas prices, but as prices fall, his poll numbers went up, just a coincidence?

My neighbours upstairs have bare hardwood floors and thin rugs covering floorboards. This means I get loads of noise, which wakes me in the middle of the night and is quite disturbing and intrusive in the evenings and weekends too.

The lease specifies carpets with underlays must be fitted, and though I have written to the freeholders about this they have done nothing to force them to comply. The occupants are denying they're doing anything wrong, however went quiet when I showed them the lease.

Can I take action against the freeholders because of their negligence, or is it just a case of chasing them up until they do something ?

I would be very grateful if somebody else who has had this problem could give me some advice, as this is really starting to have a bad affect on me.

I stay out of here because of the unreasoning hatred that fills the topic. But I've come up with a few, and I wonder how many others you can think of.

Spraying herbicides and pesticides without protection.
Demolition of old buildings filled with lead and asbestos, and carrying off the debris without a mask.
Painting and sand blasting and other construction work without protection.

In fact, any job that it would be illegal to perform without OSHA-approved protection is commonly handed off to people who don't understand the language well enough to realize that they are putting their lives at risk. They aren't "real" people, are they? That seems to be the thinking, at any rate.

Any others?

I am a British citizen, and I'm not totally against nuclear weapons, but I just don't see any point in Britain having them. The amount we currently have is too small to make a difference in an all out nuclear war, and in a smaller conflict we can be sure that NATO would come to our aid. I just think the money needed to update the system could be better spent on hospitals and the only reason the government is considering developing a new system is political, not tactical.

They are posting messages of Hate for Bush and ridiculing anyone who voted for Bush, and then reporting anyone who disagrees with them as violating policy. How sad is that?
