...why do we have to placate them at all? Every country that placates them gets MORE violence from them. They live in the very countries they often with to destroy, how can their mainstream feel safe given what their fringies do, and that they don't police themselves?

It's looks like the Al Queda/Iran backed insurgents have slaughtered the other two American soldiers that were captured. What should be done about this?

Why are they obligated to show impartiality?

They are not mainstream media outlets. Complain all you want about ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, Washington Post, New York Times, etc. - these outlets and publications claim to be impartial, so if you think they're not, complain away.

But why do private citizens and non-media corporations have ANY obligation to express both sides of any story?

My x-husband owes me $8000 in child support and $4016 dollars for personal property in our divorce. The guy has been missing since August of 2006 right after are divorce was final. He has never seen his son. He is hiding out somewhere but, child support can't find him. What will happen to this guy once he is found? and what do you think child support will do to find this guy. He also owes me money for all my furniture he sold, how can I put him in contempt for that? I live in wisconsin my son was born here. Wisconsin works with louisiana child support. and My divorce was located in louisiana. Would I have to go back to louisiana to put him in contempt for not paying my the personal property, or can that be transfered to wisconsin?

He dosent want to HAVE to return to Australia, but he would have to if he came on visa waiver program. He dosen't want to wait months to get a visitor's visa. Is there a site we can read up on what our options might be?

The voiceover blamed their deaths on "the American Army and their leaders, who do not care for the feelings of the soldiers' families."

I'm not an American, but i do know the basics of US politics. Personally, I I think that the amount of conservatives on this site outweighs the number of liberals. Many say that the Liberals are unpatriotic towards the USA, quoting stats (such as the unemployment rate, etc) and claiming the economy is on the decline, and saying it must be fixed. However I disagree. To me if the Liberals are saying these things then that shows to me that they are more patroitic to theirs and your country as they obviously strifing to constantly improve their country. Now people say that the conservatives are happy with these stats, and so must be patriotic - to me that indicates that the US Rpeublicans are happy to sit at a "good enough" rate, as opposed to the Democrats who, to me, trying to improve all the time.

If anything I'd say that the Repubs are the unpatriotic ones.
So to all conservatives, after seeing this point of perspective, you have to admit it does make sense, does that change your view

Fred Thompson is an actor.

Many actors are gay.

Fred Thompson has non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma is most common among patients suffering from AIDS.

AIDS is very common among gay men.

Therefore... Fred Thompson probably has AIDS?

Don't be too critical; I'm new at this nonfactual conclusion-jumping thing, so any pointers you could offer would be helpful.



(P.S. I don't think he has AIDS; I'm trying to make a point here.)

It is fact. Wherever there is war there are US soldiers dying for a cause that is not so clear.
Is it possible that our leaders are like Attila the Hun and do not mcare who dies as long as they get power and great wealth. is the greed for wealth and power something that we should accept as reality. If not what can be done about it?

Can't the oil companies do away with it and just refine the regular and premium. This could possibly boost supplies of the gasoline that people actually use, and cut down on their costs at the same time.

I'm asking this again. I received many replies explaining the strategic points about which I was already aware being ex air force. From the replies I see the sub would be used to retaliate after the UK was already destroyed. So it it really worth the expense in this day and age when other countries are frowned upon for considering nuclear power for peaceful requirements?

"The day is not far distant when three Stars & Stripes at three equidistant points will mark our territory: one at the North Pole, another at the Panama Canal and the third at the South Pole. The whole hemisphere will be ours in fact as, by virtue of our superiority of race, it already is ours morally."

I think it is proof of Americas imperialism, something which is still going on today and which is why a lot of people hate the U.S.

Im thinking about buying a radar detector and i dont have enough for a laser detection setting (not like they do much anyway considering lasers detect in like 2 seconds), but i was wondering how often police use laser vs radar? Is it even worth it to consider buying a radar detector? I have 5 points (1 ticket) and i cant afford another ticket.
