Thanks for responding. I was expecting an answer like that .
Fact; If we keep on finding excuses for the wrong they do to others, they will keep on pushing for world control.
Executions take place in the Philipines, Saudi Arabia and others which we think are liberal. Not done by terrorists, but by law.
The man on the street which smile and tell you he is liberal, will not hesitate to kill you when he is in a Muslim country.
I can tell a few stories, 1st hand experience about how they want us to believe the hate is only from terrorists. Schools in Saudi Arabia teach children that Christians and Jews are pigs. It is also good to kill them if they don't agree with Muslim laws.
Yes, I believe everybody can live happily in harmony. We must just stop ignoring reality when when we don't know all the facts.
They must start to show us the same respect they want from us:
Freedom of speech and religion.

Thanks to Clinton, we now have North Korea to deal with. Did you know that Clinton sold them Nuclear powerTechnology back in the 90's which is now being used to create nuclear weapons? If you didn't, do some studying and find out for yourself. Did Clinton mean to do this? I don't think so, but we have learned that an administration's policy can take years to see whether or not it was good or bad. A lot of people on both sides need to chill a little.

NEW YORK - Some states have enacted laws that make it harder to vote instead of correcting ballot problems that have plagued various parts of the country since the 2000 election, according to a study released Thursday.
ADVERTISEMENT

Describing their findings as "troubling," voting reform advocates sampled 10 states with past election difficulties. Especially worrisome, the report said, were laws passed by a handful of states, including Arizona and Georgia, that require a government-issued photo identification card and proof of citizenship before being allowed to vote.

Though both state laws were later blocked by judges, "the damage has already been done," confusing would-be voters and severely hampering voter registration drives, said Tova Wang of The Century Foundation think tank, which conducted the survey with Common Cause and the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights.

Also troublesome was a lack of electronic voting policies that could make voting lines in the upcoming midterm contest even longer than those in 2004, according to the survey.

Such delays especially affected Ohio, where people waited hours because of problems with computerized voting.

The study found that the problems with electronic voting were not just malfunctioning machines, but also the lack of available machines. "There were long lines because there were inequitably distributed voting machines," Wang said. Since 2004, most states have only vague guidelines. Florida and Washington, for example, have no formula for determining the number of voting machines in each precinct, the study said.

After the 2004 debacle in Ohio, a law was passed mandating one machine for every 175 registered voters. But it is not enforceable until 2013.

The study contained some good news. Many states have aggressively recruited young people to serve as poll workers — an effort to correct poorly staffed precincts and aging volunteers not familiar with new electronic technology.

But overall, of the studied states, "none have come close to addressing in full the major problems that plagued the system during the last federal election," the survey concluded.

The states were Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington and Wisconsin.

If Americans demand cheap goods and illegal immigrants supply cheap labor to keep the cost of goods low, wouldn't deportation and stricter immigration laws interfere with supply/demand? And if we don't want illegal immigrants here because they depress wages, isn't that protectionism and limiting competition?

I'm not trying to spark a debate here or express an opinion one way or the other on illegal immigration. I just want to know if being anti-illegal immigration is the same thing as being anti-free market. Heck, maybe I don't even understand free market theory correctly.

Thoughtful, informed replies only, please.

When you were still in school DOES NOT count. Do you have a bible? The bible is to the church as the constitution is supposed to be to the govornment. The lies that spew from this addministration are toxic. If you believe one word that comes from this machine than you are indeed Americanized. America was founded on the people that fought so hard for it. "WE THE PEOPLE" Is not a clever way to begin a story it is the first law of the United States of America. Nothing in this country is supposed to happen without the peoples say so. That includes WAR and passing new laws. If you think for one second that you voted anyone into anything than you love to be lied to.
Don't you pass your judgement on me until you've read your own personal copy of the constitution and the bill of rights. If, after you have read them and you still feel as though I'm a "radical" or an alarmist then you need to go back and READ them again. The time to reform this govornment is long over due!!!

We were at work and it was a slow time. We have arm wrestled before, and he usually wins because he is stronger. This time however as we were wrestling, his arm popped and I could tell immediately what happened. We stopped and I instructed someone to get him to a hospital and I sort of went into shock and was sent home, not for what I had done, but because I was shaking. My question is, am I liable for the damages to him? It was a mutual game, no malicious intent, just sort of a crazy accident that neither of us had thought would ever happen. I was told workers comp wouldnt come into play even though we were both on the clock because we were arm wrestling.

I would like to reside in China with my future wife whom is a citizen of PRC. I need to know what type of visa I can obtain to reside, and how to obtain this type of visa. I tried searching the Chinese, American Embassy, but not enough information. If anyone has any details that would be great! Also im trying to find more info on how to obtain the Chinese D-visa. From what I read so far about the D-visa that it is a visa to allow people to reside in China, but it does not give enough info on how to obtain that. Thanks!

I WISH THIS WERE NOT TRUE, BUT THIS IS FACT

Made public on November 18, 1997 by the Assassination Records Review Board.

Actual Operation Northwoods de-classified document from the National Security Archive housed at George Wahington University.
http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20010430/doc1.pdf
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

Signed into order by the CHAIRMAN and EVERY MEMBER of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the plan (read it yourself) calls for innocent Citizens to be shot on American streets; American ships to be sunk; for a wave of violent "terrorism" to be launched in major East coast cities.

Operation Northwoods calls for Foreign Nationals to be framed for bombings they did not commit; and for planes to be hijacked and crashed into landmarks. Using the phony evidence, all of it would be blamed on a foreign country, giving Political and Military leadership the excuse, as well as the public and international backing, they need to launch a war

I have read polls that suggest as many as 1/3 of the people in the arabic world believe that the 9/11 attacks were actually performed by the US government as a way to justify military action in the Middle East. I'm just curious why some people feel this way and why they believe this. Are there any US citizens that believe it was a conspiracy?
