I heard Glenn Beck say this on his radio show - so I thought I'd pass it along to all you poor little white christian boys who've been so terribly mistreated.

No thanks necessary - please. Just the honor of helping you with your issues is enough.

911-kookery is the most amazing and depressing social phenomena in the history of America. The protest of the sixities was partly rooted in strategic efforts of the far left, but was largely an understandable free-society backlash.

However the 911-kook movement betrays something totally different. Its like a cultural/intellectual mason dixon lin of sorts. First, on purely an intellectual level, 70% of our country is left with the most amazing hangover. Over 30% of America literally believes that the incredibly diverse American government coordinated with America-hating Jihadists to cripple and murder itself and has successfully kept all the participants from the protection of the media.

No amount of rational Scientic American articles, debunking all the psedo-science goofery can dissuade them. Now I understand the western Muslims dedication to this kookery, but for the life of me I cant understand the pied piper leftist following for this lunacy.

The International Criminal Court has trials for cases, but has it EVER reached a verdict, and actually punished an individual or group for crimes committed?

Seems like he just missed a golden opportunity. Time to face reality: no more crusade in the Middle East.

Iraq will be our last imperialist war.

Only 20 years ago, immigrants were willing to learn english and become citizens. Today they move to little haiti, little havana, chinatown, etc, and don't bother to learn the language or become u.s citizens. Why the change?

I am asking this question in regards to the recent events involving the British troops in Iran. Some say that the U.K. not taking a more hardlined stance in the matter was weak, especially some talking heads on some right wing shows. I ask why was it weak to use diplomacy in lieu of a conflict that would undoubtedly lead to a worse result on all sides. Is escallation in the Middle East really an outcome these people are suggesting?

I worked for a company that gave me $1,500 towards some of my tuition costs. Part of the agreement with the company that I signed says that I'm obligated to reimburse the company for that $1500 if I have voluntary/involuntary termination within one year from completion of the course. I completed the course in December 2005. I voluntarily left the company in May 2006. So, the company wants the money back.

After reading over the entire agreement many times over, it only says I'm obligated to reimburse them, but it does not give a time period or payment schedule, so I assume I can pay them $1 a year for the next 1,500 years if I wanted to. Of course, they don't like that idea and threatened to take me to collections (which may or may not hurt my credit score - I don't know).

I don't particularily like the company. What can I do to maximize my rights? Can I tell them I'll give them $10/year for the next 150 years and if they have a problem with it, take me to court?

Don't you think also that Ahmadinejad has pulled a brilliant fast one, and that a majority of the Arab masses are rolling around laughing at Britain's expense.
The man may be an shia fundamentalist, some of his ideas
may be repulsive, some of his speeches disgusting.
But he is obviously not an uneducated hick, I get the feeling he knew exactly what he was doing from day 1,and got it right!.
-Opening of diplomatic channels
-Enormous free amounts of publicity to boost his and Irans image in the middle East.
-45 Minutes of worldwide free air time on his Press Conference chastising the Western World.

Making us look like complete idiots , and rubbing that in like there is no tomorrow.
Face it, the bloke is the Elected President of a Nation of 75
Million People (election rigged though ) ,is a civil engineer who actually lectured at University.
He is a cunning, nasty but worthy opponent,we'd be idiots to
underestimate him.(Or his People )
Round 1 to Ahmedinejad. Don't u think

It is my brothers dream to be a Infantryman in the US ARMY. He is a very smart kid, 99th percentile on the ASVAB 4.0 GPA


He's been in touch with his recruiter and service liason. They both suggest to him that he become an intellignece anaylst or Linguist????


My brother wants to bust down doors and ground pound. why is his career couselor trying to talk him out of that?

Why don't they want to let him be an 11b?


Why do they willingly let idiots in the infantry but discourage smart kids?

That only the same already-rich people are getting richer?

Or that more people are BECOMING rich?

This isn't a hard question - we can't clone humans or their bank accounts yet, so more rich people can mean only.....

Honestly, most bank robberies are a crime of desperation, often committed by decent non-violent people. Child molestation is a 'crime' of sickness, yet usually they get off easy... Which is more likely to do it again, which would you rather have on the streets. Some thing is not right here.
