Why is there a Culture of Death and Destruction prevalent in our World Today? What can be done to change this Self-Destructiveness against Ourselves and Others?

Hi folks,
My family and myself are thinking of emigrating to Australia via skilled visas. Have started the ball rolling by paying for the skills assessment.
yesterday i felt keen to emigrate and full of hope.
Today i feel low, sad and unsure if it is the right thing to do. the whole process of emigrating seems overwhelming! having to seel your home, transfer pensions over and virtually sell most things you own and of course leaving family and friends behind.
Just want to know if anyone else felt like this when emigrating???
Or is this a sign that I should not be doing this???

Duncan Hunter notes on his website that Congress will be violating previous legislation over constructing a border fence which is supposed to cover 854 miles. Regardless of whether or not other sources are right in saying it's actually 700 miles, and regardless of how little construction is currently being appropriated for (370 miles), what could any President do to negotiate with Congress over full execution of The Secure Fence Act of 2006?

Will Hillary's forced universal health care plan pay for all non-parental notification teen abortions? If it doesn't, will liberals still support it? What kind of health coverage doesn't pay for a 14 year old girl to have a late term abortion because she is mentally depressed? Not a very good one by liberal standards!

It's legal. There, now go post your questions over in 'pregnancy and parenting' or 'relationships and dating' where it belongs. Want to change the laws? Talk to the lawmakers. Thank you.

By now the majority of Americans have figured out that the whole Iraq thing is a fiasco, and wish to be through with it. One thing keeping us there is fear that once we leave, the whole place will turn to chaos and more killing. But why should we care?

The Shiites and the Sunnis WANT to have it out. I say, LET THEM! Why should we put ourselves in the middle of it? The Iraqi people are not worth a single drop of American blood.

Worst case analysis: Shiites kill Sunnis, Sunnis kill Shiites. BOTH hate us, so wouldn't we be better off with fewer of them, if they killed each other and not us?

Better case analysis: Once we leave, there'll be no reason for a nationalist insurgency, so the violence will DECREASE. They could step back from sectarian civil war and come to some sort of modus vivendi, without either one being accused of being a US puppet or sellout.

But to quote the Moody Blues (1965)|: "Go Now!"

The White House has repeatedly refused to make current and former officials involved in the firings available except in private interviews, without transcripts. Congressional investigators have refused that offer.

"The White House cannot have it both ways — it cannot stonewall congressional investigations by refusing to provide documents and witnesses, while claiming nothing improper occurred," Leahy added.


No matter how deep your denial runs, there's only one reason the White House would refuse to let people testify and not allow transcripts to be made:

Because they have something to hide.

It's one more glaring example of how this administration thinks it's above the law and above the checks and balances our government depends on.

In your opinion, at what point should we (the world, the UN, the US, whomever) stop passing sanctions on Iran and launch a military strike to disable their nuclear ambitions?

Or do you think that military action will never be acceptable, and we should continue with sanctions and other "harshly written letters" until Iran has developed full nuclear capabilities?

I keep hearing this claim made from the pro-abortion crowd. Why should they get to claim that a life isn't worth living?

They keep implying if a child doesn't have free health care, good education, wealthy parents, etc. Then that child would be better off from an abortion. Does this make any sense?

Kim the tranny said:
"LIBERAL DEMOCRAT MEN: Why Do They Dislike Football, Steak & Girls/Women?
Are these things too manly for the Libs to handle? Is football too violent compared to a game of Dungeons & Dragons? Is steak too much for the delicate digestive system of the average male Lib? Are girls/women anathema to a Lib male because the Lib male has no game and, therefore, he has to turn to other Lib men for love & affection?



I love Kim and sterak: They're both rare!

How much do you want to bet that about 11.99999Million of the illegals in this country make under the poverty level....if they become Americans in one swoop of the wand, we will end up GIVING them money every year they file for taxes. If you make little money, you get an IRS refund for MORE than you paid. That is the way the government "balances" the system. So, if you pay $5,000 a year in taxes and you live next to a single parent who barely makes ends meet and has two kids....guess where your money is going....next door....I don't think this country ON TOP OF what they cost us daily now (which won't change AFTER they become legal) we will give them money in April, every year...

I asked this question last week with the Mig-17 instead of the Mig-21. I knew the answer to that question. This one, I'm not so sure about.

I've been joking to friends that the way to solve the Social Security crises (older people living longer and having fewer children thus unbalancing the whole pyramid scheme)is to legalize all the illegals so they could pay into the system. In reality, how much of an impact would this actually have? (Real numbers please, or links to sites where I can find them not just opinions.)
