Every Muslim I've talked to or seen on TV or read about does nothing but condemn 911 and Al Qaeda. Yet some conservatives (I'll admit it was Ruth's comment in the "Why do people think Muslims are terrorists?" question earlier) refuse to recognize that greater Islam stands against terrorism.

And where is the dissent against Bush within the conservative community (and I mean logical dissent not foaming at the mouth maniacs like Michael Savage nee Wiener)

Agency Affirms Human Influence on Climate
By ANDREW C. REVKIN
Published: January 10, 2007
President Bush has said it.
A lot of government scientists have said it.
But until yesterday, it appeared that no news release on annual climate trends out of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under the Bush White House had said unequivocally that a buildup of greenhouse gases was helping warm the climate.
The statement came in a release that said 2006 was the warmest year for the 48 contiguous states since regular temperature records began in 1895. It surpassed the previous champion, 1998, a year heated up by a powerful episode of the periodic warming of the tropical Pacific Ocean by El Niño. Last year, another El Niño developed, but this time a long-term warming trend from human activities was said to be involved as well.

The director of Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) Emilio Gonzalez (a naturalized citizen) created an award called the Outstanding American By Choice Award. Homeland Security Secretary Chertoff (Gonzalez's boss) awarded Gonzalez with the award Gonzalez created. To be eligible for the award you have to be a naturalized citizen. Is this ethical since Gonzalez created the award and it discriminates against native born americans?

Given that Chavez is attempting to gain the ability to enact laws by decree, do you feel he is more likely to bring Totalitarianism to Venezuela?

It seems to me that Liberals rarely have anything orginal to say. It seems to me that they are very good at parroting what their "leaders" say. Thoughts?

I mean the US army doesn't exactly have the best record with the first people of the US, so aren't names like Tomahawk missle, or the Apache and Blackhawk helicopters kind of rubbing salt in the wound? Any other names I'm missing?

I don't support terrorists.

I don't support terrorism.

I don't believe in killing anyone who's not a Muslim.

I highly dislike the fact that people judge all Muslims by what idiotic radical lunatics have done in the name of Islam - Whom I also hate.

I try to do my best to stand up against terrorism.

I don't believe in drawing my information from the Media considering that that's where most people get their false information about Muslims from.

I don't enjoy harming people and/or animals -- Nor do I actually harm any.

What do you think of me?

I think the British national party has a few good ideas such as leaving the EU, National service, Protecting our culture etc.

However I find them a bit racist and far to right.

My question is is there a party something in between the two?

i caught a really bad sore throat friday morning. it got worse over the weekend. called in sick monday to go to the doctor and was diagnosed with strep. i felt better yesterday after my 2nd day of antibiotics and went with my fiance and son to the mall for maybe 30 minutes. while there, i spotted the head boss from my work but she didnt see me. well, thanks to not resting yesterday i feel like crap today and had to call in. we have been advised that thanks to HIPAA we dont have to state a reason why we are calling in sick so i didnt. also, i still have plenty of sick time in my bank. question is, if she did see me out does she have any leg to stand on? she isnt at my house right now and cant prove that my throat isnt still killing me. i work for a major medical insurance company in customer service and am on the phones 90% of the day which isnt great for a sore throat. thoughts?
