The Imus thing really bothered me. Say there was a black comedian who said offensive things about white people. If there were a white person pushing to have him taken off the radio, wouldnt he be considered a racist?
Just wanted some more opinions.
I am not against any group of people. But the double standard made by society bothers me.

I'm 17 years old, and something really strikes me as odd.. I'll turn 18 in August and I am wondering why in the world the law says you are to young to be a responsible drinker at 18, but you are old enough to hold a gun and shott at people?

Based on Islam’s continuous history of violent expansion, forced "conversion" at the point of a sword, and the fact that such savage behavior is endorsed by the Qur'an, it is illogical to reach a conclusion other then to recognize that these savages are likely planning to attempt to force the entire world to prostrate itself before the pseudo deity "Allah and her prophet Muhammad".
The savages will likely begin such an offensive with a fifth column attack from the hoards of infiltrators that "multiculturalism" has allowed to stream into Western Democracies. If these infiltrators follow the template laid out in the Qur'an, their assault will likely involve the use of terror, such as rapes, murders, and the torture of the civilian population.
I wonder what fraction of the civilian population in modern civilized Western Democracies would be prepared to resist such an attack by the Islamic Fifth Column.
Such preparations would include;

Q: Daddy, why did we have to attack Iraq?
A: We didn’t invade Iraq moron quit thinking like a liberal
Q: But the inspectors didn't find any weapons of mass destruction.
A: But they did, they found chemical and biological ones still intact, they just didn’t find any nuclear ones, stop listening to the liberal drive by media
Q: And that's why we invaded Iraq?
A: Some of it, you wouldn’t understand about the 17 UN resolutions and it sanctioned by the US Congress and the World Coalition, but that’s because you are listening to that liberal crap again
Q: But after we invaded them, we STILL didn't find any weapons of mass destruction, did we?
A: “SMACK”, weren’t you listening or were you just flapping your gums so you can hear yourself speak like all liberal morons?
Q: Why did Iraq want all those weapons of mass destruction?
A: To use them in a war, silly.
Q: I'm confused. If they had all those weapons that they planned to use in a war, then why didn't they use any of those weapons when we went to war with them?
A: Well, obviously they didn't want anyone to know they had those weapons, so they chose to die by the thousands rather than defend themselves.
Q: That doesn't make sense. Why would they choose to die if they had all those big weapons with which they could have fought back?
A: It's a different culture. It's not supposed to make sense.
Q: I don't know about you, but I don't think they had any of those weapons our government said they did.
A: Well, you know, it doesn't matter whether or not they had those weapons. We had another good reason to invade them anyway.
Q: And what was that?
A: Even if Iraq didn't have weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein was a cruel dictator, which is another good reason to invade another country, not to mention that he had already invaded Kuwait earlier and had to be put in his place, and since then has refused to abide by the ceasefire, and has constantly broke the “no fly zone”
Q: Why? What does a cruel dictator do that makes it OK to invade his country?
A: Well, for one thing, he tortured his own people, and killed thousand of the Kurds using those same WMD’s we were talking about, weren’t you listening again?
Q: Kind of like what they do in China?
A: No China didn’t invade anyone like Saddam did in Kuwait and threaten the worlds oil markets, so Don't go comparing China to Iraq. China is a good economic competitor, where millions of people work for slave wages (the comparison being what we get for wages here in the good ole USA, because those wages in China are and have improved their standard of living) in sweatshops to make U.S. corporations richer, besides China exports more than the US does, they are now 2nd in the world.
Q: So if a country lets its people be exploited for American corporate gain, it's a good country, even if that country tortures people?
A: I guess it’s a matter of definition then, cause exploitation by your liberal *** definition might be a enormous raise in that families standard of living to them….weren’t you listening again you moron…SMACK!
Q: Why were people in Iraq being tortured?
A: For political crimes, mostly, like criticizing the government. People who criticized the government in Iraq were sent to prison and tortured.
Q: Isn't that exactly what happens in China?
A: I told you, China is different.
Q: What's the difference between China and Iraq?
A: Well, for one thing, Iraq was ruled by the Ba'ath party, while China is Communist.
Q: Didn't you once tell me Communists were bad?
A: No, I told you all communisms is bad, do I have to smack you again?
Q: How are the Cuban Communists bad?
A: Well, for one thing, people who criticize the government in Cuba are sent to prison and tortured. They hate being oppressed which is why they criticized the government in the first place, and others have been escaping there to come to America ever since Castro took over and found that his system doesn’t work, which is why they are so poor!
Q: Like in Iraq?
A: No, the Iraq people are now free to choose and they have. They chose a new democracy and a new government, and will be a shinning example of capitalism in the mideast if the outside insurgence and it’s neighbors would leave them alone!.
Q: And like in China, too?
A: I told you, China's a good economic competitor. Cuba, on the other hand is a boil on God’s butt!
Q: How come Cuba isn't a good economic competitor?
A: Well, you see, back in the early 1960s, our government passed some laws that made it illegal for
Americans to trade or do any business with Cuba until they stopped being Communists and started being capitalists like us, well something like that, I don’t rightly know but you being the moron you are and liberal you won’t know any difference.
Q: But if we got rid of those laws, opened up trade with Cuba, and started doing business with them, wouldn't that help the Cubans become capitalists?
A: Don't be a smart-***. You are stupid aren’t you! Communism and Capitolism don’t work side by side. You first have to let communism either implode on it’s on like it always does or wait for the people to be so tired of being oppressed that they will revolt to get what they want. Unfortunately Castro has become what he displaced.
Q: I didn't think I was being one.
A: That’s because you are a simplistic liberal moron that has mush for brains, but when you grow up and become a Republican you will be a productive member of society and rather than living off the taxes of others!

Every time there is a charge of racism the liberal media drag out those 2 huckster Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton they literally make me want to puke.
I don't see them doing this for any other group, Hispanic Jews, Asians, Muslims these group don't have any one spokesman to represent them is this just another condesending way that liberals look at blacks as if we are just one monolithic single minding entity?

Those of us in the military section of yahoo answers who are smart enough to realize that users like Ashley Meyers, ERUDITE, and the others on here who are simply trying to get a rise out of people and show their contempt for America should be able to agree that the best course of action when we see a question from them is to look at it, if violates the terms of use set up by Yahoo Answers report it, and then simply not answer the question. Just ignore them and eventually they will get tired of not being able to get our blood boiling and quit. Can we agree to do this?

I think that Bush should because it's obvious that they are the cause behind the fact that the USA is having so much trouble in Iraq. It seems everytime there is a suicide bombing the libs cheer, and it is protected by the first Amendment. Should we not allow these protests due to the fact that we need to win this war?
