I went to a mosque the other day just so i can be more open minded and see the other side and everyone in the mosque i spoke to praised bin laden and the 9/11 attacks. Why the hell should we let these people live in america if they hate it so much ?

Today there were protests across the globe demanding intervention in the genocide in Darfur. This situation has been going on for ages and was actually much worse a few months ago, yet nobody noticed. Why the sudden interest? It wouldn't have anything to do with George Clooney would it? Are people really that obtuse?

The only footage that exists is this clip and it was shot during the filming of a documentary. Not shown live and not aired until much later.

Im a 21 yr old male, my girlfriend is 17 and pregnant. She will be 18 when the baby is due. Her parents are considering pressing statutory rape charges. The age of consent in Michigan is 16, I think. Is it possible for them to charge me for anything still?

I would like to think that our constitution was meant for all religions, however. history shows that the same people who wrote it burned witches and shunned other religions.

I recently visisted a website which boasted a cool but strange idea. The idea that we are all citizens of theworld, and thereforcountry passports, visas, and borders should all be irrelevant. They provide a new birth cirt, marriage cert, and even a passport, all of which they boast has been used to enter and exit almost every country including all the countries in europe and even the US. They also boast world diplomatic imunity and other such idas. I am curious, how many of you guys have heard of this, how many have actually applied, and of those who have applied, how many have actually used it, and finally, how many of those who used it had problems with entering and exiting countries or showing it as a form of official ID. Please nbote, I am not asking if you think it is a good idea or a stupid idea, and I would appreiciate the opionions only of those who know about this, that is a nice way of saying dont bother answering just for points as I make full use of the abuse butto!n!

I booked a flight with a travel agent. The ticket did not arrive in time for my trip, so I assumed that I had an electronic ticket. I was given a boarding card at the check-in and it was only at the gate that I was diverted from the plane. I had to book another very expensive flight with another company and am now looking for compensation from the initial carrier for this new and more expensive ticket (around 400 GBP). I realise I probably should take it to small claims court. How should I go about it? Is it necessary to hire a lawyer? Should I go to any of those "no claim no fee" law firms? Ombudsman? Consumer Direct was not very helpful on that matter.

Do you remember the story of the "Camel in the Tent"?

In the Arabian desert a nomad set up his tent to settle in for the night. His camel approached the tent door and said,

"Master, it is cold outside. Might I just put my nose in for a minute to warm it?"

The kind master agreed.

A little while passed when the camel said, "Master, forgive me for bothering you, but my neck is chilled...may I enter the tent just a bit more to warm myself?"

The kind master said yes.

Not much more time passed when the camel said, "Master, my shoulders and chest are also now cold. May I come in just a little more to warm myself?"

Again, the master agreed.

Then, shortly thereafter the camel said, "Master....My standing in the door is letting a lot of cold air in...allow me to enter so that the tent door will fall shut and we will both be warm."

The Master told his camel...."that is reasonable....come in and allow the door to close."

Then, the camel having achieved his desired goal found the tent to
