Politics & Government - 24 October 2006

watching an old film with a missionary and the hero in some gold rush crazy town and the missionary says " i came here to help the indians but i reckon its the white man that needs the help". For me this sums up how i feel when white men (leaders of the Free World -sic ) goes into a country and culture they don't understand (and in some cases can't spell ) and turns it upside down and then claims it was all for their benefit. so my question is are these countries better off WITH or WITHOUT our meddling ?

What do people oppose, illegal immigration or south of the border immigration, be it legal or illegal. Sometimes when I read the responses, they are outright racist. Is it the fear/hate that someday they we will live next door to you, go to school with you, and eventually join you for family reunions?

I know this is kind of drama but one day I was picking up my son and a baby-sitter and saw the 16 year old sister of my boyfriends psychotic ex girlfriend and an unknown male walking up to me. They tried to take a pic The girl eventually began hitting me, and the male she was with held me down. I am 22 so what was I supposed to do? I defended myself only as I needed to but ended up giving her a bloody nose. This 16 year old called the police on ME and claimed I had followed her and attacked her. I had also called the police but they ended up talking to her first and cited me for assault 4 and harrassment. I took it to court and luckily my baby-sitter had managed to capture part of the incident on her camera phone. The judge found me not guilty of assualt after all the testimonies but guilty of harrassment. Do you think this is fair or right? I truthfully did not follow or hit the girl first and the girl had no evidence proving i did. I have neven be into touble at all before this.

I am currently working for an agency and have been for about 3 months. When I phoned yesterday to see how much holiday I have accrued I was told that the holiday year runs from October to October, so at the moment I have not accrued any holiday, and any holiday I did have has been wiped off. The woman was exceptionally rude and offered no help, so I have written an email to the MD of the branch asking him to reconsider.

When I joined the agency I did sign a contract, which undoubtedly states that holiday runs from October to October but I can't believe that they can simply wipe out these days? Any adivce as to what to do?!

My wife, a US citizen, is going to be naturalised in the UK next year. She can retain her US citizenship and effectively have dual citizenship.

I imagine the same is the case for myself if we ever decide to go and live in the US, i.e. i can become naturalised and not have to give up my UK citizenship.

Can someone please confirm if this is the case, and perhaps point me in the direction of something online that highlights the law.

Many thanks

is this possible?
it occurred to me that freedom could be quite dangerous:
- freedom allows any belief
- beliefs are perceptions of truth
- truth cannot be universally accepted
- conflicting truths result in conflict
- freedom allows conflict
- war results from conflict
i am not a nihilist, but suddenly its occurred to me that freedom may be more of a societal burden than a benefit.

1. is freedom dangerous?
2. does freedom jeopardize social construct?
3. does freedom serve as a barrier to productivity?
4. does freedom increase anxiety/fear?

Make all illegals leave the United States, and apply for a visa. The visa application will take no more than 3 months and cost less than 500 dollars. There will be a database with employers posting jobs and those immigrants matched to jobs. Those who get it, get in. Those who dont, get their 500 dollars back. Preference is given to trading partners.
Employers will have to pay the upkeep of the database.
Pretty sure that will cut down 90% of all illegal immigration.

If some kind of terrorism happens in the middle east: You never hear "Saudi arabian terrorist" or "Sudanese terrorists"....you always hear the word "Islam" as in islamic terrorists, islamic militants, islamic jehadists, islamic fanatics...so you never know what nationality the terrorists have??

but if the terrorists are irish..they are never called "christian terrorists"...or if they are bolivian they are not called communist terrorists"....usually all other type of terror groups are referred to by their nationality....

Except for the ones comming from middle eastern countries...isnt that wierd??

I have a huge question... I have a friend who wants to join the AirForce. But acouple of years ago he joined the reserve and for medical reasons could not go to boot camp. The reserve gave him a crappy re enlistment code but now he wants to join the air force without telling them he tried to join the navy reserve. Well they find out or is it possible that he will get away with it. I heard that the branches aren't that connected how do they findout that kind of information?
