I just find it odd, that President Bush can send thousands of people to their graves and nobody is doing anything about it.

Four years after he was tortured in a Syrian prison, a Canadian resident (Maher Arar) has finally received an official apology and $10.5 million in compensation from the Canadian government for its role in the affair that caused him to be deported by US Immigration to Syria. He was detained and tortured there based on false information supplied to US officials by the Canadian government.

Regardless of right or wrong in the Arar case, here is my question:

If you knew you might be deported to a middle-eastern country to face torture for one year, but there was a high probability that you would get a $10M settlement for injustice upon returning, would you still go to?

Further to that, what would you do with the money afterwards? Would it be used for personal gain, helping to make a better community, or for revenge?

During every special occasion or every other day, some Muslim terrorist pops up from no where and gets arrested. The media and the police speaks for the whole day that a major plot has been foiled. Why the community does not come out and and find a solution for this?

Well, he learned that the correct term is "decision-maker," not "decider." That's a start.

I think it's fair to say that Hillary, Obama or Richardson would head the ticket, but wouldn't it be much stronger with Gore's name appended?

Each election in the United States is accompanied by a lot of consternation about people who do not vote. For example, bumper stickers saying “I voted, don’t blame me” show up regularly. Using economics, explain why some people choose not to vote

keep in mind that vince foster was murdered and not a thing was done about it. i happen to know that if she is elected then it will be the death of the nation. the eu and other such countries, muslims, will be allowed to come over and start having their way. we will lose our indentity as americans and all the men that fought and died for this country will be for nothing.

If the govt. aren't going to improve and build more prisons and only hand out custodials for what they call serious crimes,should we start meting out our own law and order to protect our communities? The police and courts are failing us .Who wants paedos and other scum wandering freely around enjoying privileges the same as decent people?

I'm doing a project that will involve collecting water samples from a park to be tested for temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, etc. Is this legal, or do I need to get permission from the parks commissioner? I e-mailed the parks commissioner a week ago but he still hasn't replied. I am a high school student and I live in New York City.

Can you explain to me why you think that it is ok for my brothers construction business to go under?

My brother had a construction business that, at one time, was doing very well. Then his competitors starting using illegals, paying $75 a day under the table, and started under bidding him since they were using such cheap labor.

Well long story short, my brother couldn't compete, nor would he be a sell out and do as they were doing.

Can you explain why you support illegals putting Americans out of business? When you say that those people have families to think about, do you not think of the families (of YOUR fellow countrymen) and how this effects them? Do you not care? What about what this is doing to HIS family and HIS children?

How can you justify supporting people that do this to other citizens of your own country?

This is a very true story and this is the main reason (although there are many others) that I am against ANY type of amnesty.

If not then could he become vice president?

Is it legally allowed?

Because so many republicans think he is all powerful.
maybe he could put things back to the way they were before

and a blue dress would be our biggest problem...

In response to the people who answered my question regarding gay marriage. Many of you have said that majority rules which it does in our democracy but my question was is it fair to a minority of people to be out voted my a majority. Should I remind all of you that many laws that have been voted on by our majority of citizens were unjust? Do you not remember the fight to abolish slavery, the civil rights movement, and the women’s right movement? They fought the majority rules for many years until our nation was forced to recognize their worth as citizens and human beings.

Now we are faced with a new fight for gay people. But to me this is more than a fight for gay marriage. This is a fight of religious idealism vs. secular thought. Someone said that marriage is defined as a union between a man and woman. This definition is being redefined through out the world to include same sex unions.

Should our government define marriage based on Christian idealism?
