Politics & Government - 21 September 2006

Please understand that I am not advocating torture, but stating a fact: torture works and information gathered during torture has prevented terrorist attacks in our country.

Does that justify inhumane treatment of terrorists? I want to say that torture is never justified, and it makes us no better than the terrorists... but if we didn't do it, more blood would be spilt by their attacks.

I have no more words to describe it. Torture is reprehensible, and the alternative of simply allowing terrorism to continue is equally awful. What are your thoughts?

yes a bit of a rhetorical question to get a discussion going -

Do you think the USA will continue to get more and more divided? Where will this division lead us? Where will we be in five years, ten years?

I was dating this guy whos been in America for 6 yrs. He is 20 and he got married almost 2 yrs ago. Even tho he is married we still dated. Its only because the marriage was only for the green card, I been to his home, there is no evidence of a real marriage. Thats the only reason why I continued seeing him.

Anyway he had a court date on Tuesday. 3 things couldve happened, he woulda got his card which would have been the best outcome, the marrage helped a lil. He would have gone to jail for at most 2 months, due to him being undocumented for 2 yrs. lastly the worst outcome: he would have been deported.

I havent heard from him since the night before his court date. I call and call, a message comes on saying "this subscriber is unavailable. try your call again later" I figure if things turned out well he woulda been excited and called me to tell the goodnews. Instead i get these call back messages, or the phone rings continuously. What do you think happened? Should I give up?

they are just a bunch of yanks who steal things from other countries, with a president that is a retard, and did you know that a huge army of AMERICANS waited for about 100 english soldiers for the iraq war? the black watch i think they were called. americans think theyre so superior but there just a dumb, obese, warng country who is bored so they declair war on places like iraq, dragging other countries into it, causing terrorists to attack other countries out of spite. i don't agree with terrorism at all but if america hadnt declaired war on their country for no reason then im sure 7/7 wouldn't have happened. i thought 9/11 as about binladen, an afganistan man. i think... what do you think??

Most of illegals not only speak excellent English, but pay taxes, . Are we given the chance to become citizens? Hell no.
You people still live in the times before1900s when ANYONE could just show up and got citizenship ONLY based on English proficiency immediately. Common! Why the double standard?

Why should Americans cough up $1.3 Billion a year to get insulted on our own soil ? Do you think it's time we leave the U.N. ?

does anyone at all besides congressmen losing their seats in November actually support this treasonous bill which would strip the free and equitable voting rights from American citizens?

to what level will the GOP stoop to retain a grasp of power in the USA? lying during campaigns has stopped working - so they resort to bastardizing and corrupting our voting process to discount the votes of United States Citizens.

How can anyone dare call themselves a GOP and American at the same time considering they are diametrically opposed stances? The GOP has removed it's last guise of allegiance to America with this move.

lmao

Islam has been called a religion of peace even by Bush (at least once). So then, why are even Bush supporters and other Americans (who claim they are Americans--people who supposedly support freedom of religion) creating stereotypes that suggest all Muslims are extremists who support terrorism? Why?

JFK oftened doodled on his papers. In one he wrote 9/11 in a circle and then at the bottom left of the page he wrote conspiracy and underlined it. What do you think about this?

If Jesus came back and reveals that Bush conspirated both in 9/11 & Pope's statement against Islam? What will be your reaction at that time.
