Politics & Government - 21 October 2006

For starters, I am firmly against Bush, but it seems that most point the finger at him for all the increased violence. There has to be more to it than merely pointing a finger at one person?

I am being serious, by the way........LOL

What do you think?

I found an interesting and thought-provoking answer in the book, "Building a Noble World" by Shiv R. Jhawar (www.nobleworld.org).

Following is a small section from "Building a Noble World":
Terrorism is committed by individuals and organizations, not by whole countries. Attacking countries to find terrorists is like looking for a needle by burning the haystack.

The root of crime and war is in the human mind. Therefore, the most effective way to stop terrorism, violence, oppression, hatred, deception, hypocrisy, and corruption is to improve the quality of the human mind. Without a change in the character of individuals, the war on terrorism cannot be won. Wrong is often committed under the influence of ignorance or delusion. A wrongdoing must be condemned, but the wrongdoer is more to be pitied than condemned.

Could Bush have killed Abe in an earlier life?
You conspiracy theorists that dont believe in the moon landings and believe explosives brought down the towers can surely buy this, right?

According to a study by Johns Hopkins University and Iraq’s Al-Mustansiriyah University researchers Which was published in The Lancet medical journal two weeks ago that the war in Iraq has caused between 420,000 and 790,000 Iraqi deaths & more than 2800 American military deaths.
It’s a staggering number.
This report is more evidence of the daily tragedy in Iraq. Each life lost carries with it lost hopes, loves, and dreams. Each life lost is another reason that the war in Iraq must end.
Till now, Bush & his administration , wanting to keep a positive spin on Iraq news coverage,
but whether 40,000, 100,000 or 500,000 people have died in Iraq, this war has cost too many human lives. The only resposibility for these lost innocent human lives are belong to Bush & his administration. I am asking all the honest people around the globe to give equitable answer by one word YES if they agree or NO if they disagree about that.

State your opinions on this, your supporting ideas and so on, what rules you'd like up and stuff.

Also state ways society(USA or other parts of the world) can help prevent or stop child abuse, women sexual harassment(by men), and anything else you can think of.

Someone I know plans on recording a conversation he'll be having later with his boss regarding a contract he's pushing that is unfair. And on top of that, he says he is witholding money until they are signed. Would he need special permission to record this conversation? Would it be admissable in a court of law?

America torture innocent Muslim in military camps. Never be let free for any reason. America wrongly occupy Iraq for nothing but oil and take money from Afghanistan. Then you cry and wonder why 9-11 happened. Why? Israel destroy home in Palestine with bulldozers and kill children. Why?

I sent him some Medical Records and Autopsy Report in the middle of July. Since then I have spoken to him about 7 times. at first he said after looking at the Reports he and his Associates considered it a Suspicious Death. But he won't tell me if there is a Case.He said he wanted to send it for Review. Then he wanted to send it to another Lawyer to see what he thought. The other Lawyer says he doesn't understand it either so he wants to send it to a Medical Doctor to see what he thinks. As I said, Both Attorneys say it is a Suspicious but won't tell me anything Else. Can someone give me an Idea of what might be going on?

It seems that ever since the II WW we felt obligated to fix up a country after we "broke" it. Why does the US think it necessary to stay in Iraq? isn't it smarter to invade, win, back out. Then if necessary do it again. Why should we even waste our time? When did this ridiculous process begin?

Maybe China or South Korea should worry more??? Since they are neighbors, China is not worried. Nuclear weapons from North Korea do not have the capabitily to reach USA. Why so paranoia, or guilty of destruction of other Country's Governments or involvement.

I saw Laura on a Saturday children's show within the first year of her husband' presidency. She has always had this perpetual smile on her face, Well she was doing all right with the interview until the hostess asked her to recommend some childrens' book titles.
Laura smiled, and without mssiing a beat, she threw up her hands and said: "Oh, just any of them".

But she's librarian.
hummm
not a smart answer.

It seems to me in Illinois the canidates that are running for office come November are more interested in bad mouthing each other than actually telling the American people what they're going to do for us if they get elected, any one else having the same problems in their states? Or anyone else from Illionois a little P.O.'d about our choices? I'm voting for Blagoavich, not because I like him, because, I don't, simply because I don't dislike him nearly as much as I do Topinka.

Just recently, a question of mine was deleted. This was the explaination behind this. Mind you, I was just posting my opinion:

"Question: Is Al Sharpton one of the biggest leaches in the world?

My answer: Oh, and I thought it was Coulter all this time. Grow up, stop the hate. Just because Al Sharpton is encouraging her to give a damn about not being given service just like everybody else, doesn't mean he's neccessarily a leech (which is how it's spelled by the way, feeb). Would you find it more credulous for her to just bend over and take it?

Reason of Violation: Insulting Other Participants"

Insulting other participants? Sure, I called him a feeb, but that was concerning spelling. Other than that, my answer was in no way half as insulting as some of the stuff on here. Can anyone explain to me why this was reported?
