It would be so much better if they could adopt a positive attitude, learn to like themselves and learn to make lemonade out of the lemons that they encounter in life.

OKAY, SO maybe there weren’t WMDs in Iraq. But there are EFPs there now. From Iran. Really.

That’s the gist of the latest Bush administration p.r. campaign to justify military threats against Iran, which the U.S. accuses of supplying “explosively formed penetrators”--that is, roadside bombs--to Shiite militias in Iraq.

The first details were reported in the New York Times February 10, with ponderous quotations from leaked classified intelligence documents--the same style that disgraced former Times reporter Judith Miller used to parrot White House lies about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Ironically, that same day, the Times also published a story about an internal Department of Defense investigation that finally confirmed the Pentagon’s Office of Special Plans, headed by Doug Feith, had produced intelligence reports about WMDs that were completely bogus. More demonstrations and activism are essential to oppose Bush’s threats to Iran and oppose the U.S. war machine.

Raygun supported acid-throwing fascists. Bush's Daddy and Raygun gave money and weapons to Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein when it suited them. Bush II, the total moron, went into war in Iraq with faulty information. Now we've killed all sorts of innocent people. A lot of you claim to be "pro-life" and love this war???? What kind of people are you anyway? How can you sleep at night?

That its some terrible place that is chock full of propaganda but in reality they treat you like dirt. Not hardships, but literally like you're scum. I'm ok with hard, but I don't want to be treated like an animal...or they sometimes don't pay you and stuff like that...to what extent is all of that true? I don't think it really is...

i know there are just as many americans who dont want war but i cant understand why do these type of americans talk about nuking civilians or carpet bombing them
is it because america has never seen the horrors of war on mainland america or is it too much confidence in the military and in the government

I am currently working in a public house that doesn't serve food. It is not a restaurant or hotel, just a pub. 4 out of the 8 people behind the bar are aged 16 and 17. i won't serve them alcohol when they come to the bar on a night out and this makes both them and the landlady quite irrate. the landlady said it's fine that i don't serve them because she will. also they are all paid cash in hand. are they allowed to work there? also are they allowed to drink there? p.s. i'm in yorkshire england.

The main exposure of the islamic terrorists to USA is from Hollywood and Rock Music videos. That is what they feel threatend by it certainly is a big change from the burka, and intolerance of religious diversity or choice.

Since most of the entertainment industry is Liberal it is their views that drive the terroists mad.

They just handed out id cards today at my school and they did not inform us or our parents that they had micro-chips in them with all of our personal information on them. Is that illegal to do?

Have you ever taken the time to read the Constitutional ruling "Stenek vs. United States," which says that the president has the right to limit civil liberties in a time of war, including free speech? You should be thankful that Bush ISN'T taking away your right to protest our actions in Iraq, cause he COULD if he wanted to!

So, with the "he broke the law" pitch gone, what do you have to hide? Why can't Bush protect us by spying on phone calls and email that go overseas? Again, "Stenek vs. United States" ELIMINATES your "against the law" argument.

The 1790 Naturalization Act permitted only "free white persons" to become naturalized citizens, thus opening the doors to European immigrants but not others. Only citizens could vote, serve on juries, hold office, and in some cases, even hold property. In this century, Alien Land Laws passed in California and other states, reserved farm land for white growers by preventing Asian immigrants, ineligible to become citizens, from owning or leasing land.

Like Social Security, the 1935 Wagner Act helped establish an important new right for white people. By granting unions the power of collective bargaining, it helped millions of white workers gain entry into the middle class over the next 30 years.

But it was another racialized New Deal program, the Federal Housing Administration, that helped generate much of the wealth that so many white families enjoy today.
Even when families of the same income are compared, white families have more than twice the wealth of Black families.

its like everyday that we hear about deaths, but we almost never hear about the good that soldiers have done. Both of my parents are enlisted, so why don't i hear about the good news that they have on the news?

the 9-11 terrorists all came from Saudi Arabia not Iraq.

And if the USA isnt lying about its agenda and wants to get rid of WMDS in the middle East Why is Israel still standing?

They are the only oines with nuclear weapons and you dont get many bigger WMDs than those.
