This may sound somewhat racist, and for that I apologize; I most certainly do not mean it in that way, and this is a genuine question I am asking.

I have always been taught that the Arabs are the ones antagonizing the Jews, so it was an interesting surprise to me the other day when I read a quote by an Arab statesman. He said that the Arabs were not anti-Semitic, but we westerners are. We were the ones who pushed Jews out of our countries or did not allow them in, killed them (during WWII), and acted hatefully toward them. Then, we pushed them over into Palestine to get them out of our hair, proclaimed Arab soil as Jewish soil and made Arabs refugees in their own countries and then had the "audacity" to call them anti-Semitic.

He was right in his history, but I just never thought about the Arabs not being anti-Semitic as much as anti being displaced from their homes. What do you think? Was he right or wrong? Am I missing a piece of history/politics?

I live in NZ. A few years ago the only gambling here was horse racing using the totalisator, not private bookmakers, a state lottery called Lucky Kiwis, and of course private gambling like poker games. It wasn't a serious social problem back then. Now, gambling has been made easier. We've now got casinos, online gambling, scratch-and-win tickets, which you buy, scratch and if you're lucky, get a prize. and what we call pokie machines. In Britain they call them one-armed bandits. It's easier to lose money fast gambling than with any other vice, especially if it doesn't require any skill. Horse racing required skill and knowledge. Now pokies are a major problem here. Some of the profits are taxed and given to charities. But the social problems they cause cost us far more than they pay back. I want to write a story about it. Please tell me about your country's experience with different forms of gambling.

I always vote "no" on any bonds. They just lead to deferred taxes that should have been utilized in the here and now. It frustrates me when you hear politicians say that they did this and that without raising taxes yet they sponsor bond issue after bond issue.

It is my understanding that it is against the law to be homosexual in a Muslim country. It is punishable by death. Women must wear veils or burkas. In some Muslim countries being caught in the act of adultery is punishable by being stoned to death. Even in fairly modern Saudi Arabia it is against the law for women to drive. For those who identify themselves as liberal, feminist or in favor of gay rights, WHY does this not bother you, or does it?

A few months ago, my house (really just my garage) was burglarized. The thief cracked my top security system: He walked up to my car (which was parked on the street), opened the door (which was unlocked), and used my own garage door opener to open my garage door.

Now I've learned that these criminal masterminds have struck again. My neighbor told me they stole some CDs and stuff out of his car.

I have 3 cars and a 2 car garage so one must be parked on the street. I cover it with a car cover and I have noticed several nights over the past few weeks that the cover has been disturbed.

Okay, so I'm not going to purchase any video surveillance equipment or anything like that. But is there any way to catch this guy? Or just make him pay a little?

Because of a loophole in the law, pedophiles can be drawn to a position of authority over juveniles in detention centers and they get to look at minors under the guise of government authority.

This should not be permitted under any authority. Homosexual pedophiles should not view minors naked under any circumstances. Not even under the guise of public safety.

If minors should be searched for contraband there should be other means such as x-rays or drug dogs.

Minors should not go through the psychological rape of being forced to demeaning rectal searches by sadistic law enforcement officials under any circumstances.

Do you agree?
