why do we persist in getting involved with every troublespot on the planet? we should take a leaf out of the majority of other countries and look after number 1,its not as if they are grateful when we try to help.Look at Iraq! people that the soldiers are trying to help are throwing stones at them!! get the soldiers out and leave them to it...come on do gooders have your say!!!!

My friend Larry says that President Bush has made a lot of enemies for the US and alienated a lot of countries. My friend Moe says that Bush has not alienated any other countries except maybe France. I don't think either of them ever talks to anybody from another country so how would they know? If you are from another country, do you feel that you or your country has been alienated by Bush?

From the time Clinton first bombed Bin Laden in '98, through the return of Israeli/Palestinian warfare under Sharon, to Afghanistan and Iraq, and now on to North Korea and/or Iran (at the risk of nuclear fallout), we must remember that none of this would be taking place were it not for the disputes between Israel and the Arab World. How is it that a place hardly the size of a dozen U.S. counties has such a deathgrip on our political system?

First we fight about slavery, then segregation, then gender, and now sexual orientation? Why can't people look at the phrase 'liberty and justice for all' and simply accept that 'all' means 'all.'

I got into a discussion with a coworker today. We were listening to the radio and that song Ridin Dirty came on, a few of us started discussing how songs like that are catchy but stupid and how the hip hop culture in the last ten years has offered nothing, outside of artists like Talib Kweli and Atmosphere, of any substance, besides maybe some good beats. That led to discussing gang mentality, how kids in our neighborhood think graffiti and drive by's and treating women like dirt makes them "hard", and how ghetto culture no matter who follows it, white, black, hispanic, asian, could be attributed to raising the crime rate. And how if these kids spent more time on things that matter like school, jobs, then our crime rate would decrease, people wouldn't have kids they couldn't afford to take care of, welfare, etc. This girl chimes in and says we're racist, that ghetto culture is an integral part of Blacks and their history. I said I dont care what color you are. Racist or no??

I just found out today that a certain family member of mine has been throwing out my mail intentionally for a year. It is my Victoria's Secret Catalogs that I was supposed to be getting for a long time but never got them even though I ordered them twice. Yes, I am a straight female so its not like I was using them for anything other than shopping. I am not a minor, and I do pay rent.

I found my catalog with my name ripped off of it (It is definitely mine) by the front door so I assume this family member was going to throw it out as they left the house. I confronted this person about it and they admitted angrily that this was indeed what they planned on doing. This person is fanatically religious, so anything "intimate" such as a lace bra or the word "sex" is a sin.

Is this a felony? My family isn't a good one.. we're constantly at each other's throats. I do not need any input on my family/living situation. I just want to know how I can handle this legally. Thankyou

When they kidnap people and have them killed?

To my dismay, It sounds as if you people are defending them.

Do you think Americans would be capable of hacking civilian's heads off as a form of execution?

Just wondering since our government in SA is spending huge money on the event. They think its the answer to all our problems.
If you are coming, please go back to europe and tell the leaders of your contries what SA is really like. Our government is running the country into the ground, we probably gonna end up like Zimbabwe. There is no hope for a white in SA, like me.
