Politics & Government - 27 February 2007

My grandparents both had been in a senior home. Then they got cancer. They had treatment, which delayed things for awhile.

But, they finally had to go to hospice.

Sadly, they passed away.

Our family had no idea where the money would come from.

But, thanks to hardworking Americans, my grandparents were well taken care of. Thank You.

Shouldn't we all feel so blessed by American taxpayers?

I am undocumented in America and although I've payed taxes etc. since I got here I don't that anybody should get a free ride or an automatic visa after coming here illegally. Saying that, I've built my life here and I'm not going to go home just because you say so. So what do you think of this solution?

Build the wall and secure your borders so the flow can be slowed.

A person born in the US only obtains citizen ship if they are a decendant of a US citizen (grandparent etc.)

Mass deportation isn't feasible- $10,000 fine payable over 5 years for an illegal immigrant making them elligible for a workers visa. (Straight away $110,000,000,000 in revenue to pay for securing your borders) Leave them inelligible for government aid (SS or medicare) until at least 5 years of taxes have been payed. If a person isn't contributing to society, they don't deserve to benefit from it.

English must be learned, and an exam passed before visa is granted.

What do you think?

For instance - If he comes over to me and prods me with a stick and says:

'Son, there is a piece of carp(substitute real word here) at the end of this stick'

and I replied 'From where im standing Sir, that appears to be a correct assumption'

Do you think he would find that funny?

Or what about if he says my shoes arent clean enough and I reply

'Whats the point we are going on a trek today, I'll clean em up once we get back'

Cause I love being a smart so and so. backchatting is my specialty subject.

How far do you reckon Id get before I broke the instructors will?

When did the definition of Liberal become: "Anyone who disagrees with George Bush"? This new "definition" seems a tad simple-minded.

Hypothetically, if someone wrote and posted an untrue message on a public message board and it had the capability of damaging your business, what could you do to get it removed or rectified?

Are we really living in such violent times? If you consider the violence seen by the human race throughout the ages... We are supposedly more sophisticated/ advanced than our ancestors because we don't torture criminals or hand out the death penalty (oh, but what about the rapist human rights). If for example somebody raped and killed my Auntie Gurtrude I would be overjoyed to know that person was going to be hung, drawn and quartered.

If the 'violent' people of today were born 400 years ago they would have been perfectly accepted for stabbing their 'enemy' (think of sword fights) and probably reveared as great warriors.

Discuss.......

if they wanted you to believe 2+2=5, you probably would. They want you to believe that 19 hijackers with box cutters were able to demolish three buildings. 6 of whom are still alive! they want you to think that steel melts at temperatures that regular fires burn at. They want you to think that the muslims were able to suspend the laws of physics! Why do you listen to these people, especially when they have a record of lying in the past! I am not a conspiracy theorist. I am just a regular american who sees the holes in the official story.

a 47 year ago incident.In 1960,I was a boy aged 6 1/2,I wanted to cross a street.I didn´t pay attention,so I got hit ba a car,a VW Bug.
Seconds later,an American car stopped,an American GI and his wife picked me up and brought me to the local hospital.Nobody got to know,who they were.My parents tried to find out any kinda way to say THANK YOU.But the American authorities here in Giessen,Germany couldn´t help.Acouple of months later we moved.In the late 70s,I moved back to Giessen,
where I live since then.I thought,with my better knowledge in English,I could find these gentle people,their address,whatever,
because it´s my desire to thank them for their help.But I didn´t succeed either.So maybe anybody out there,who reads this question,might remember in his own past,or his relatives´,friends´,that incident from spring 1960.It happened in Giessen,Germany,on the Licher Street,the street that leads from the Rivers Barracks downtown.It was very close to thr RxR crossing.

Unclassified U.S. involvement in Iraq


INTERESTING STATISTIC...

Regardless of where you stand on the issue of the U.S. involvement in Iraq , here's a sobering statistic:

There has been a monthly average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,112 deaths.
That gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.

The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 persons for the same period.

That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capital than you are in Iraq .

Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington

as an Englishman i was amazed on a recent trip to America that a new hip trend is sweeping the states.As far as i can work out it involves pumping air into your clothes until your kind of "inflatable sumo size" and then walking around as though you have soiled your pants.It is so popular overthere that the "air stations" are in secret locations, but i would say 94% of Americans particapate.Strange eh chaps

Why does this son of The Fallen Angel still inspire so much murder and hatred to this day? In Christianity, you can find hundreds of cartoons, movies and media humiliating the Christian Faith.

As followers of The Son of God, we are taught to love and accept those who hate us. In the religion of The False Prophet and Son of The Fallen Angel, they are taught to riot and kill if their "prophet" is insulted in any way, even a cartoon. That cartoon was actually very accurate in depicting the inherit violence in that religion.

We have a Hollywood movie coming out that claims to show the tomb of Jesus Christ and his "Family". This goes against everything taught in the Christian Faith. We know that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead and ascended to Heaven in human form. Therefore, the only tomb that could possibly be found is an empty tomb. In spite of this, we are taught to turn the other cheek and love those who hate us. The other religion is taught to hate and kill those who disa
