Ask a question and they reply with a "zzzzzzzzzzzzzz".

For example, why did Bush allow a Gay male prostitute to have a White House pass? If you can't debate, don't reply.

I just can't stop crying. I was searching the web and accidently found a website that has the beheading videos of many Americans and others. I honestly couldn't believe my eyes. It doesn't seem real.. I mean we never experience that sort of stuff here. These were people, and you can just see the look in their eyes.. you can tell the second that they're "gone." And then you just start thinking about these people's families. Normally I preach peace and ostracize otheres who are always screaming about killing middle easterners, but after seeing these videos I feel like I could kill them myself. I know it is wrong to say, but now I feel like we should get rid of anyone who can nonchalantly kill a person and go on living their lives. They're not people, they are monsters.
I get it now. Its easy for me to preach one thing, but I'm not there. And these videos just give you a little view of what its really like for the soldiers. I sort of feel ashamed of myself now... what do you guys think?

He believes if he were to end up in an assisted living facility (nursing home), the state could come back on me for any services rendered not covered by his insurance up to the fair market value of the property for five years. Is this true, semi-true? Please help!

Al Gore maintains a he lives a "carbon neutral" lifestyle by buying "carbon offsets," but the company that receives Gore's payments for carbon offsets is partly owned and chaired by the former vice president himself.

His extra-large carbon offsets are paid through Generation Investment Management, a London-based company with offices in Washington, D.C., for which he serves as chairman. Make no mistake, this is NOT a non-profit. Generation Investment Management is set up to become a multi-billion dollar investment firm and is also set up to exclude the lower class.

Generation Investment Management's U.S. branch is headed by a former Gore staffer and fund-raiser, Peter S. Knight, Knight was the subject of several probes by the Federal Election Commission and the Department of Justice.

When Gore is buying carbon offsets through Generation Investment, he is in all actuality buying stock.

Opinion polls should not play an important role in the political decision-making process because they indicate only what is popular not what is the right or wrong position for our leaders to take

women who murder their own children are given slap on the hand and free will to have more kids?

And I am NOT talking about abortion, I am talking about the women who kill their "out-of-the-womb" children and just get a couple years in the loony bin.

To me they are both the same. I dont even like kids, but I dont think they should be abused.

It's common sense in one of its most basic forms:

if a certain group of people preach hate and kill your people, won't you look at that certain group of people and say

hey, that certain group of people hate and kill my people. Maybe we should be more suspicious of this group to help protect my people.

duh?

I had a question for any military personnel who may be reading this. When you watch a movie like "Tears of the Sun" or "Black Hawk Down" or "Three Kings" or any other military movies, what do you think about Hollywood's representation of you? Are they accurate or is there a lot of misrepresentation? Just curious.

I know the FBI has a department that deals with child porn on the internet, what does it take to join that field? What kind of courses in college might someone suggest? I am in my third year of college and finding myself not sure what I want to do. I know I want to be in law enforcement and trying to think of fields to go into.
Arent there also public groups that actively seek out child porn sites inorder to shut the down? What kind of advise can some of you give me? This field seemed kind of interesting and honestly rather rewarding if such sites can be hunted down and deleted.

It's a sad fact that we will be hit again by terrorists, but no one knows when. But with most of our troops overseas, will America even be able to defend itself? We couldn't even sufficiently help out our own when hurricanes Rita and Katrina hit. So with that knowledge, does anyone feel truely safe?

95 Billion of the 124 Billion in the appropraitions bill for the military in Iraq, which was passed today in committee, is NOT going to that effort but is being spent on unrelated spending a.k.a. Pork Projects.... A few examples:
CA - $25 Million to Spinach handlers; 23 Million GA- Peanut warehouse; 293 Million Wisc - Milk -

We, the people, have to stop this flow of 'Pork' unrelated spending in Washington!

I agree with this statement....
"Men and women of good conscience can disagree about the war in Iraq . But on one thing we must all agree—our men and women in uniform must continue to receive our unqualified support and the resources they need to successfully complete their mission. " J. LEWIS
