Politics & Government - 15 June 2007

I am pretty sick and tired of people using a false cry of racism to get what they want. So Why is the white Lawyer the only one in trouble here? He didn't say anyone raped him. While I agree his behavior is important, his reputation is destroyed , but would have well been destroyed if he would have dropped the charges. I can hear it now RACIST, RACIST. So far it looks like this girl needs to go to jail every bit as much as Paris Hilton. Nancy Grace , now that's a two teer system.

Let's pretend for a moment that the US packed up, cut and ran, and completely left Iraq like liberals & democrats want. Let's pretend that they actually convince eveyrbody that defeat and failure truly is our only option........

Will democrats take responsibility for the aftermath of what happens in the middle east after the US retreats? With US forces gone, will they take responsibility if Iran becomes more aggressive and expands into Iraq? Will they take responsibility when millions are killed in a civil war between shiites and sunnis? Will they take responsibility when the entire region is destabalized and gas is $10 a gallon?

Or are they going to hide under their desks, blame Bush and the republicans, and insist that this wasn't their mess to clean up in the first place?

It looks like Hamas, Iran, Palestine, etc. will never stop unless they will destroy Israel. Currently they associate Israel with West, rightfully so, I am assuming. What should be done? I am by no means qualified to suggest anything, but here are some choices:

A. Invade Iran, Syria and Palestine?
B. Disown Israel?
C. Stop supporting without disowning Israel?
D. Nuke entire Middle East and give Israelis equivalent amount of land in Florida? Call it “Promised Wonderland”?
E. Overthrow Hamass and put west friendly Fatahass back in Gasa?
F. Baptize all Muslims into Christianity? Or convert into Judaism or Buddhism?
G. Do nothing and let UN “resolve” situation?
H. Force peaceful resolution until next nut case in ski mask will smoke some hash and dig out his AK 47 from the hole in dessert?
I. You opinion?

I worked for a company for 2 months and was let go. I was not on a probation period and had never been told my prformance was any issue. The reason given to me was that they did not feel my sense of urgency to bring in business was high enough. I was consistently bringing in business just as much as the other reps in the company but they stated I did not display a sense of urgency that they were looking for. I was never reprimanded by my superiors nor did anyone ever talk to me about any performance issues. My new sales manager set a goal that he put out to all reps and then followed it up with an email to me and another new rep stating that the new goals did not apply to us and that he was very happy with our performance. This perplexes me as to why I was let go. I know Texas is a right to work state but I thought since their corporate office is in North Carolina Imight be able to persue a course of action against them. Yes, I have already found a new job.

3/4 of the people that immigrate here legally do it because they have family here. 1/4 do it because they are able to invest $1,000,000,000 into the economy. Some do it by winning the green card lottery(50,000year). Now, other than that there is no way to immigrate here legally. You cant just apply and expect to be approved because IT WONT HAPPEN. So the so called proud people that emigrated here legally were lucky because they had family here. If they didnt, they would sneak across the border or overstay their visa and be illegal. So dont say that there is a way to be legal here, because unless you are rich or have family here or win the lottery(millions of applicants - 50K winners) there is no way.

Ok, This is a touchy subject but it needs to be touched. I live in Northern California. Lately almost every customer I help doesn't speak any English at all. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the ones that try and they want to learn, but some don't want to learn English and I believe that the lack of communication divides us. We shouldn't have special signs that are in spanish, because what about all the vietnamese, indian, japanese, german......Etc. that can't speak any english. Why don't they have signs as well. And if you can't read English, how do you know what street signs mean? I think that if you live in this country or any other country, you should at least try to speak the native tongue and become a citizen. That all I have to say.

Scamming people out of millions of dollars and not responding to subpeonas?
The FBI just caught Lou Pearlman. He's the guy behind the 90s boy bands.
Over the last few years he's been scammed over 1000 investors using the Ponzi scheme. to the tune of $315 million. He's been on the run for the last few months and has ignored numerous subpeonas. My friends and I were just curious. About how mnay years in jail and how large of a fine, asdie from the $315 million is he looking at?
Also the report said that he was charge with 1 count of bank fraud. But he scammed over 1000 people and several banks. Why only 1 charge?

In 65, we counted the VC dead. I served from 63 to 75 and my last contribution was flying the evacuation.

Now we count the American Dead. That SUX. We are losing youth. Even if we could see it wasn't the thing to do it does not bring them back. I would trade with one of those sons, daughters and parent to bring them back.

I did my time thinking this would not happen again. Just like my Father did in the 35th Calvary in WWI.

Yeah I don't have a question. Just. tears. Been there. Done that. Don't think it's gonna get better.

They go on and on about how Gore and Kerry won the popular vote. Why don't they realize that this makes NO difference and if it did, there wouldn't be equal representation? Liberal coastal CA would run the country every time. Hardly fair to the mid-westerners, southerners or any other part of the nation that isn't composed of liberal elitists.

I have NEVER heard an argument as fruitless and silly as this one and the democrats EAT it up...and yes, this comes from someone in a Northeast liberal hotbed.

It's a serious question looking for hard statistics to support your answer. I don't know which is higher. Pro gun folks claim that owning a gun protects people from criminals - how many lives have been saved - what's an estimate?
Gun control advocates say that guns end up causing more loss of life through homicides and suicides. What are the numbers?

Picture this: Some years down the road, the supply of some vital resource gets so scarce that it causes global war. China lands in Alaska and marches down through Canada into the United States. We hold them off for a while but the end is inevitable. The entire western half of the US becomes occupied territory.

Eventually, the survivors in the west are trapped behind enemy lines. Those who headed for the hills in the beginning are using guerrilla warfare tactics on the occupying force. Basically only fighting small battles they know they can win and stying light and mobile.

That would make a pretty good movie or book, huh?

The president said that Iraq has weapon of mass destruction and Saddam is support the terrorists. US went to war with Iraq. To date, no weapon of mass destruction is found and Saddam is not related to Osama terrorist plot even though Saddam is a terror to his own people (Kurd people). The president then apologize saying it is bad intelligence, and his finger is always pointing away from himself. Many said the war is about oil. The big oil is hoping for $5/gallon, and now it is barely reaching $4/gallon. Robert Gates now says that Iran is supporting the Talliban.

Would the big oil gets $5/gallon? Would the American fall into the same hole again? Will US go to war with Iran?
