Who was that muslim guy who started ranting, Abu someone? They then showed a clip of him making jokes about 9/11 - why are we putting up with having people like him in this country he should be booted out, it really angers me, no wonder we are getting blown up on our own doorstep if we allow extremists to stay here.

The U.S. spends trillions of dollars fighting an endless, unwinnable drug war. A victimless crime of free will.

Wouldn't those trillions of dollars be better spent on Work Programs for the poor, Homless, Medical Care for the Elderly, scholarships, Fighting Terrorism, and all kinds of worthwhile programs.

We can't find Bin Laden now because we don't have the financial resources to locate him.

The police don't seem to have any problem finding all the marijuana smokers and putting them in prison.

The police have equipment that can see through walls to find marijuana smokers. Couldn't the police use this see through wall equipment to find Bin Laden.

The police have spectrographic equipment on planes and satellite that can spot marijuana growing from hundreds of miles away.

Couldn't they use this equipment to spot Bin Laden.

Maybe the cops just don't care to save our country. They just want their $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Bush might be the devil, but he is the president of USA. If chavez were in bush shoes, he would be doing the exact same thing. They both have imperialist sick minds, and theyre both addictively sick for money and power; willing to betray their own soil if necessary. Good luk to us, insignificant and ignorants.

We hear that there will be more tax for everyone to pay when we go on holiday via aeroplane etc. Surely it is up to the government/aviation authorities to block NEW flights/flight schedules which are adding to the environmenmtal problems! We all know smoking kills, but cigarettes are still sold and god knows how much they pollute the atmosphere, but because governments make so much money from the TAXES it is acceptable. The message sent by governments seems to be "the planet can be polluted / destroyed as long as the governments make money from it "

According to an AP article (via CNN) on the 12th of this month, Air Force Sect'y Michael Wynne announced he wants to test-run their new microwave "non-lethal" weapons on "unruly crowds" here on our home soil, so that international public opinion will be less negative when they export them! I have heard reports, by the way, of bodies found in Iraq with no bullet holes, intact torsos and limbs, but burned heads; blackened teeth and exploded eyes. Iraqi doctors cannot confirm cause of death. Hmm....sounds like they are already microwaving to me

Do you think conjugal visits in prisons should be allowed or not in all states? Why do you think they should be allowed or not allowed?

I think they should be allowed. People in prison's are in there for a reason that is true but I don't think they should punish their spouces for it. It's not hurting anyone to allow it, and it releases tension and it's not only a good thing for the inmates but their spouse as well.
Just so everyone knows, NO my man is not in prison. I saw a web site with lots of petitions for it, and I just wanted to see what other people think about it.

Would a suicide bomb threat would be higher in this case?

Israel is a racially dominated country (75 percent jews) which has a protected border and immigration system. Isn't it true that Iraq's borders are open (with bad accounting of it's population) and the small, but extremely efficent Hezbollah could get there? Iraq is majorly Arab, so it would be easier to enter and hide.

Would they introduce the suicide and death squads that weren't seen in the Lebanon-Israeli war, because of the strong border security by Israel?

I do not like the government in my personal life, but I do not want to have another 9-11 either, It is my understanding that by tapping into phone calls that come from known terrorist from outside the country to people within the country, has already prevented a few terrorist attacks. If it means keeping terrorists out and us more safe, then I could give up a few rights. How do you know when it is enouph though, I would not want this to become a police state either? Any thoughts, think about it

For some reason The stupid, rude probably even lawless Mexican Government keeps wanting Dog back in Mexico. He has suffered a lot and put a rapist out of the streets and protected innocent people.

I believe he was set up by a person that wants to target Dog and wants Inmates to kill him. I also believe since Mexico seems to be a poor country and also drugs are being dealed through Mexico someone came to Mexico giving Money you know Brived I mean lobbyed the government to arrest Dog Chapman.

Then for some reason the rapist may have been paid to goto Mexico, or he knew from sources so then lobbyed the government.

I believe this could have been a setup because if he got murdered that person could goto Jail so they did it in a way where a Inmate murders him so the Hitman can his battle of hating Dog.

Ok that might be considered a conspiracy thoery but Dog could have been set-up.

Should the FBI, CIA, and Police investigate Dogs Arrest.

The saber rattling is getting louder, and the fictional prenouncements are getting more shirl every day. The idea that Iran can hit the United States with a missle is perposterious. They can't get even successfully shoot a short range missle and make it work right.
Our whole military rational is just simply stupid. We can not start a nuclear war, and we can not win a gurrella war. The only kind of War we can fight is a defensive war. The idea of a preemptive war is also perposterious. We have showed the world that with the Iraq war. And now we are threatening to lose the Afgan. War. Lord, how did we get so many lop-headed leaders?

Police's new propaganda to gain law enforcement more money is to jump on the terrorism band wagon.

Stupid cops are now saying that if you smoke marijuana that you are funding terrorism.

What a load of krap. If the police weren't driving up the price of marijuana so ridiculously high maybe terrorists wouldn't be interested in trying to enter the lucrative drug market that is driven by the police and corrupt laws.

If police left drug users and dealers alone the prices wouldn't be so damn high and terrorists would have no financial incentive to enter the market.

If we were back in the 1930's and beer was still illegal then the terrorist cells would probably want to make beer too because all the american public wants beer, and half of the american public likes marijuana.

So coppers if you don't want to fund terrorist cells you need to not bust all the american dope farmers. You put all the american pot growers in prison so terrorists might try to get in now.

some liberals I know are so liberal I feel that they make liberal agendas seem ridiculous. I am a liberal, but not an extremist, meaning I try not to eat meat, I care about my environment and recycling and I think the government should take care of the sick and "teach a man to fish" policy toward helping the poor. However, I don't save every napkin I use and I don't throw a fit when things aren't recycled, I'm not a vegan and I'm not making any attention grabbing environmentalist "statements" and I don't believe in a welfare state. I've always felt that many liberals will never be satisfied and I have always felt that they are ruining the liberal movement in America. Do you agree with me or do you think extreme policy and social changes are more beneficial to society?

Spew so many racist remarks against mexican people .
I have heard so many stereotypical remarks on aol boards.
When racism is shown to black heritage..it is sooo spoken out against.
Why not all people?

Why don't people treat people like they would want their mom's or kids treated?
I am hispanic and have grown up in a very mixed neighborhood.
White,black,asian,hispanic and everyone looked out for each other.
