I was just watching the local news (Fox 5 in NYC) and they were covering Chavez' appearance in a Harlem Church and how he promised 100,000,000 Gallons of discounted heating oil to them po' black folks in Harlem. Some councilman called him a "Humanitarian" and said he was "genuine" and had a "good heart". He got alot of applause from them po' blacks...especially when he bashed Bush again and promised that cheap oil. At least Charlie Rangel (whom I don't particularly care for most of the time) had the chutzpah to express his outrage at this nut and his rantings and the way he's disrespecting our country.

Hey Chavez, you should keep your stinking heating oil and try improving the lives of your own starving and uneducated po' folks. Our po' folks have the Democrats to dupe them. They don't need you!!!

PS Who the hell cares what Noam Chomsky thinks?

Hi, I saw a site that I really like.. Now, I want to write a book about this web site, but I'm not sure if I can get sued if I mention their company on the book cover.. Let me give you an example, if I make a book and name it "How to create wealth by using Yahoo search engines", can Yahoo sue me because I used their company name? Is this legal?


Thanks..

What are your opinions on the fact that the US foot the bill for a large portion of the construction of the UN building, we sacrificed our land for the footprint, we pay over 20% of the annual overall budget (how many countries are members of the UN?), and the building lately is used to conspire against the United States of America?

If you do not live and pay taxes in the U.S., please answer to some other forum question.

I truly believe in free speeech. But, having people that have not been allies of the U.S. since before I was born building a platform of anti U.S. mentality on our own soil seems to me like opening the chicken house door for the fox. Free speech in the United States applies TAX PAYING U.S. citizens here legally, and who are not here to undermine us.

Non U.S. , non tax paying citizens do NOT reserve the right to OUR free speech, and thusly, are subject to the same criticism they so eagerly serve up to us.

I mean, Ashcroft, then Gonzales have pretty much cleared the way for him to do whatever he wants, due to being a war-time president, and the fact that this "war against terrorism" is 'different' (never mind the fact that he started it in the first place) just seems to expand his powers even more.

I wonder just how far those powers can reach, and is it possible that if he so wished, he could extend the number of terms a presiednt is allowed to remain in office from two to.....however many he wants?

If your answer is fire please explain how. The melting point of steel is 2800 degrees and the maximum temp of a jet fuel based fire is 1800 under optimum conditions. Please take into account that this molten steel was found 5 weeks after the collapse. Could there have been thermate used. To this day no one can explain this other than the thermate hypothesis.

The majority of hispanics do not use birth control because the Catholic church tends to deny it's practice for it's objective ---as to prevent a pregnancy-- yet, hispanics pull the religion card out and lecture us on how they believe God will prevent a baby to be born if it is not meant to be....

So, if hispanics are truly this religious, why are they to disregard one of the most common teachings of Christ himself-- as to wait till marriage before each partner engages in sexual acts?

I'm just curious, as to why a group of people must blame their actions on a religion, and deny a common tradition of the Catholic church ---and Christianity for that matter-- simutaneously?

My license plate holder on my car was broken off, and while I was waiting for my new one to arrive, I put my license plate in my dash for temporary. I was pulled over by a state policeman, and he gave me a ticket for "improper mount". I asked him what am I supposed to do in my situation, and he said, "I don't really know, just don't drive the vehicle." It just doesn't seem right to me. What should I have done in that situation if I had to wait to receive the holder? How else could I have done that? And what should I do in court? I don't have a receipt either because it was a friend of mine who works at the dealership who brought the holder home to me 2 hours after I got the ticket! (He was already on his way)

16 objects were struck on the day JFK was shot. Could only 3 bullets do all of this damage? Let's get real.

So what if witnesses heard 3 shots of less that day. Silencers could've been used that day for all we know.

is it the day arrested? the day you are sentenced? the date you pled guilty? or the date you signed a plea agreement? this matter did not go to trial.

How fast is a police car? Like 0 to 60, in how much time.
And what is their top speed.

I never can get a straight answer when it comes to police cars and how fast they go, acceleration wise and top speed.

Just a regular police car, not the mustangs; Well if want to talk about it too that’s to.
