If America is a democracy and its citizens support democracy as I am assured they do, then how can they tolerate a President who did not win the Presidential election but apparently came second . Is that democracy ?, sounds more like dictatorship. Stand up Americans for true democracy.

Do you think that England's economic concerns had more to do with the settling of British North America than religious concerns? Why?

""Ideology and prejudice is part of the discussion. I'm convinced that the left challenges the law simply because it carries the marks of the [rightwing] justice minister. [But] there are good reasons to limit the free movement of people to protect the domestic labour market. And this has next to nothing to do with xenophobia," says Gees."

Switzerland is apparently putting to a vote a plan to limit immigration from outside of the EU to highly skilled workers. Moreover: "Switzerland will have harsher restrictions than the EU : if the law is approved by voters : because immigrants will only be given 12 months to bring any of their children 12 years of age and older into the country.

And anyone found in the country illegally will now face a maximum jail term of 24 months."

Okay forget these news polls that give us a yes or no answer. Based on all that has happened in six years, would you vote a Democrat or Republican in the White House in 2008? Do you feel that this country has improved? Please defend both answers.

Has anyone ever had this problem with Lens Crafters? My sister and her husband paid over $800.00 for 2 pairs of glasses and one of the plastic nose pieces broke off her glasses and they refused to fix them.

The pope angered muslims by quoting a centuries old text that claims that Islam was "evil" and spread "by the sword". Is this response by a muslim group a good rebuttal?...

"The group said Muslims would be victorious and addressed the pope as "the worshipper of the cross" saying "you and the West are doomed as you can see from the defeat in Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya and elsewhere. ... We will break up the cross, spill the liquor and impose head tax, then the only thing acceptable is a conversion (to Islam) or (killed by) the sword."

What's the arabic word for "hypocrite"?

They are racist because I am white and even when I sak something that isn't bad I get reported. And my question or answer gets removed. Even my question do you like my new avatar and name got removed. I just asked a simple question to see if they liked it. Yahoo just hates people who aren't hipanic and they are too big of a baby to admit it.

1. Why are the majority of people who think this Latino?

2. Why is it supposedly an act of a bigot to not support an illegal act?

3. I came here with my family from Mexico legally, but unlike some I was raised to assimilate and take pride in my new country, by speaking its language and working to make it better, so why do people think just because of my background I should support open borders?

4. Why do people always bring up "but this country was founded on immigrants..." yeah, that was 200 years ago when we actually needed citizens, now this country is suffering massive wage cuts, tax increases, lower standard of living, more diseases like TB, larger classrooms, and higher crime due to illegal immigration, so your outdated reference is nonsense.

5. Why do people always bring up "This country was originally blahblah's then you stole it?" Look throughout history, most major countries were stolen! Stop living in the past and get a real argument.

If there was a land that you did not need money to live your life,
If there was a land where people are free to do as they please as long as those people bring no harm to the environment and other people’s right to that very same freedom,
If there was a land where food, shelter, clothing, education, and entertainment was provided for free
And if such a land was to be; it would not be governed by any type of government popularly know today and instead governed by every single citizen equally

Would you want to live in this land?

It is said that a large missile struck Tel Aviv without exploding.
The army was called to defuse it, but they were worried that it would explode in their face and they decided to check with the Mossad and the CIA.
Written on the missile were the letters AF11. No such type of missile was known to the intelligence agencies.
An Arab was in the area, and they asked his help, hoping he would be knowledgeable in the arms cache of the Lebanese or the Palestinians.
He thought for a while and told in a hysterical burst of laughter what the letters meant: "Ayri Feekon Wahed Wahed"


A F 1 1 = Ayri Feekon Wahed Wahed" its arabic.
ayri = my di ck
Feekon = in you
Wahed = 1
Wahed = 1
fck u one by one or my di ck in you one by one

I see documentaries of the U.S. military patrolling the streets in Iraq trying to play the police role. It isn't working out well. They don't appear to be properly trained in that area. Nor should they be. Do you think that is the main reason for failure in Iraq? Cops shouldn't try to play soldier and soldier shouldn't try to play cop. Occupation is a VERY hard thing to pull off.
