this question might be a bit long, buts its only so you can get the idea of what is happening, my neighbours are the kind of people of sleep all day and up all night, you know the kind that doesnt work and stuff!! they have parties all weekend every weekend. they atract youths to their door and the close way,these youths are then kicking other neighbours doors and smashing glass etc. i have on several occasion called the local council who say they have a anti social referal for the neighbours, but how long does this take to go through. the police dont seem to care and come out and move the youths on and once they are gone the youths are back at the neighbours door again.. its a no win situation. my kids are scared to go out to play incase they involved with what is happening there. any advice on what else to do would be greatly appreciated. oh and also i have requested a move out of the area and im number 3 on the list so it shouldnt be long, but i cant deal with it for much longer.

How will President George W. Bush be judged based purely on facts and outside of the blind, harsh, unreasonable, unfair and hyper-partisan hatred of him?

This forum could be used to actually support your position. When you resort to finger pointing and name calling, it just makes you lose credibility and turns people off. I've seen some intelligent answers on both sides but some of these childish posts do nothing to try to actually enlighten people.

How is Rwanda and Uganda coping with the aftermath of the genocide that took place just over a decade ago? Close to one million people killed in a three month period and no major world power, even those self procaimed " humanitarian countries" intervened. Could this be the type of occurance that breeds terrorist sympathizers?

If actions we take now could make the earth livable for our great grand-children in 100 years, do we have an ethical obligation to do so?

Or should we just keep kidding ourselves, and hope the future will never come?

I was reminded that the "mess" in Iraq wasn't a quagmire at all, and it's all the liberals fault. And, here is the indisputable reasoning;

If we went to Iraq to win, the liberals would have complained. In order to keep liberals happy, we had to follow a losing policy.

Now, how can you argue with that logic?

Darn liberals. I hate you guys.

Her son was killed in a war fighting as part a military that he proudly joined,and proudly served. There is zero evidence that he ever doubted his service or his mission,on the contrary many who knew him say he was imminently proud of his service to his country. Meanwhile his mother has spent years portraying him as an innocent victim,calling the President he proudly served a murderer,calling the people who murdered her son freedom fighters and just generally doing everything in her power to disgrace his memory. And yet the American left embraces her as if she were a holy oracle,Why??

My friend made it through basic and AIT but then before he was transferred to his unit he went to his commanding officers and told them about his gambling problems and how he needed to get help right away.. They didnt do anything at first so his family contacted red cross and the red cross contacted the military and he got a 10 day leave before going to his unit... He never made it back to the army. He was been gone for two years and he went to GA for his gambling help and he searched for god and found help there... It has been 2 years AWOL and he has gotten pulled over by the cops once for a speeding ticket and went to court... He has a good job where they run a background check on him... Hes bought a house and a new car... All of this while he was AWOL... And now that hes gotten the help he has saved up money for his family while hes gone he wants to know what happens now with the AWOL and why they havent hunted him down or arrested him when he was pulled over or bought a house????

I am no racist and I think that it is morally wrong to be such... however I wonder why freedom of speech is okay when slandering the government, corporations and whatever else people choose to do with it....

But when a person such as Don Imus's comment about that basketball team causes protests and instant firing -- wasn't he using this freedom that was given to him -- yes it was wrong and he apologized for it but I've heard worse things that were able to slide without any words of protest or even apology! Is this sort of hypocrictical? Can we only use this freedom when what we say is "right" and if this is the case who decides what we should think is right?

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line." --President Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." --President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face." --Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998

"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983." --Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." Letter to President Clinton, signed by: -- Democratic Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others, Oct. 9, 1998

"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." -Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies." -- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999

"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies." Letter to President Bush, Signed by: -- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), and others, Dec 5, 2001

"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and th! e means of delivering them." -- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." -- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." -- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." -- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..." -- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force -- if necessary -- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." -- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002

"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction." -- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002

"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do" -- Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." -- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction." -- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..." -- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003

Housing prisoners in tents in the desert, holding innocent people in prison wards, when their only crime is being sick? Women's chain gangs? Smoking is forbidden as are coffee, salt, pepper and ketchup; reading material is monitored; there are no movies nor is any recreation provided; unrestricted television is banned. Should a prisoner need to see a nurse he or she must pay $10 for the privilege.

Is this where our fearful leader got his ideas from? Can I get a seig heil from anyone?
