Your country is violent and this reduces the freedom of the people who have to live in this part of the cities. 37 million Americans live without health care. There are more and more homeless every day. You are not free when you follow everything your president says like sheep to the sloughter. Your elections are basically mud slinging festavals. Most of you know little of the rest of the world and are very quick to go to war or have your CIA break all laws to manipulate other countrys which, to name a few include the Middle East, Chili (Pinocete), Guatamala (United Foods), Mexico, Philippines, Honduras, Panama, Canada, etc. You also harbour terrorists such as the KKK, Arian Nations. Neo-Nazis etc. I would never like to live in the states. So many of your cities are like war zones - Little Cuba, Watts etc

I have done what the court has asked me to do, but Social services, the case manager believes I am unfit because I hadn't worked for a paycheck. I do work for cash because I sub-contract, and because I live with a roommate who owns his own home. I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Thank you.

My sister & I have barely spoken for quite a while - she has effectively banned me from seeing her 4 children (3 of which I helped to raise) - she (my sister) is also being nasty to my Mum & we fear she may ban her from seeing the children too.

Do we have any rights of access? If so please advise what & how we go about implementing them.

PLEASE ONLY ANSWER IF YOU ARE 100% SURE AND CAN QUOTE ACTS OF PARLIAMENT ETC THAT GOVERN THIS

With the death count of American Soldiers rising daily and the situation seeming to go nowhere, why does our President insist to continue to "stay the course"? 4 years of fighting and no resolution. When is enough, enough? Soldiers are burnt out and families are fed up. For someone who's main job is to protect the welfare of the American people, does this guy get it? I am sure that there are some die-hard, flag waving, warm-blooded Americans who support, but I would like to know, why should we "Stay the Course"

John Kerry Slams His Own Country At Davos
Jan 27 2007 7:52PM
http://sayanythingblog.com/index.php
Here’s John Kerry speaking while sitting just a few feet away from Mohammad Khatami, the former President of the Iranian terror state.




Kerry was asked about whether the U.S. government had failed to adequately engage Iran�s government before the election of hard-liner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2005.





Kerry said the Bush administration has failed in addressing a number of foreign policy issues.





�When we walk away from global warming, Kyoto, when we are irresponsibly slow in moving toward AIDS in Africa, when we don�t advance and live up to our own rhetoric and standards, we set a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy,� Kerry said.





�So we have a crisis of confidence in the Middle East � in the world, really. I�ve never seen our country as isolated, as much as a sort of international pariah for a number of reasons as it is today.��

I was born with dual citizenship to both the United States and the Netherlands. I'm a minor right now, am I ever going to have to choose between the two countries, or can I keep both citizenships for the rest of my life?

It is said that the Iraqi army still can not hold or take major areas without US tanks, air support, and logistics. But do they need support because they lack the hardware to fight? Or, to keeps come credibility for an army drowing in corruption, and infiltration by death squads and malitiamen?

Protecting it from whom, I would like to know? Is there some foreign threat that I am unaware of - perhaps Mexico or Canada - that is going to overthrow our democratic government and nullify our constitution?

Don't they know that our founding fathers opposed a standing army, and believed in a citizen's militia, because they thought a standing army *interfered* with republican government?

And why do they assume that without our military, no one in the world would have free speech? America didn't invent free speech, and there are many other democracies in the world that have a freer media, and a stronger commitment to free speech, than we do.

AP:Washington; January 28, 2008
ARMY HAS 50 PROBES INVOLVING CONTRACTORS IN IRAQ/AFGHANISTAN.
From high-$ fraud to conspiracy to bribery to bid rigging. Army investigators have opened up to 50 criminal probes involving battlefield contractors in the war in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait. Senior contracting officials, government officials, residents of other countries and US military personel have been implicated in millions of dollars of fraud allegations. Battlefield contractors have been implicated in allegations of fraud and abuse since the war began in 2003, focusing solely on reconstruction spending in Iraq. Already there have been four criminal convictions.
The new Democratic Congress plans to ramp up oversight of the billions of dollars being spent in Iraq, including dollars awarded to contractors.

I imagine this is one of the reasons Bush has asked for millions more to "create" jobs for Iraqis....so they can rebuild their OWN...as they should have from the beginning.

she told Bush pull out before 09, this should be good news for military families.

Bush doesn't care about people in the US, he sees us as "units" to spend on his war.

They aren't as intelligent as your average human but at least they aren't destroying everything sacred about this country.
They are kind of cute and have been hurt so badly by us with medical experiments and all. They are our closest relitive in the animal kingdom. Wait a minut mabey George has some DNA similar to human beings too. We could test stuff on him and PETA probably wouldn't mind.
