Throughout recent history, the mujahideen have employed the use of thousands of Uzis (among many other weapons) to arms their jihadists.... the problem with that? Uzis are manufactured by Israel Military Industries! An Israeli company was inadvertently providing them with guns to fight "infidels". One such infidel nation.... Israel!!!! It all goes in circles! Also, many IEDs aren't made by conventional explosives-making manner anymore, many IEDs now use munitions from the US army itself that failed to detonate as their explosive element!!! It's almost funny how they are killing us with our own weapons. And need I even mention the Russian designed Kalashnikov???

I am trying to understand. How Would pulling out help us and the Iraqis? As far as I can see, its happening the same way as it did in Vietnam. people wanted us to pull out and we did. we lost the war and the commies took over because of it. hundreds of people died,not Americans. nothing good came out of it last time. so why do you think something good will happen this time? if we pull out know the terrerists will win. hundreds more will die because we left. if you thinks its bad now, what do you think it will be like for them with out hardly any protection? if we leave the terrerists will take over and then we will still have to deal with them later on when they continue to attack us wether or not were still their. if we pull out, every thing we have been fighting for will fall. So I want to know, How would it help if we pull out of Iraq?

I signed up for service on a Monday, canceled on Wednesday. They sent me a bill for $83.16 saying there is a cancelation fee. I was not given that information prior to signing up, nor was I told when I called to cancel. They never came to install service and yet keep sending me a bill. I have written them letters stating I want to hear the tape of the conversation since they said the call was monitored and they have not given me any such tape. I just KNOW there are other consumers who have gone through the same thing. I think something should be done about this. I have been writting to them and at one time someone called me and said I would be getting a credit, however two months passed and then I just received another bill for over $100. Someone please help me!

Have you hugged a liberal today?
Some 45% of all Republicans report being very happy, compared with just 30% of Democrats and 29% of independents. This finding has also been around a long time; Republicans have been happier than Democrats every year since the General Social Survey began taking its measurements in 1972. Pew surveys since 1991 also show a partisan gap on happiness; the current 16 percentage point gap is among the largest in Pew surveys, rivaled only by a 17 point gap in February 2003.
Could it be that Republicans are so much happier now because their party controls all the levers of federal power? Not likely. Since 1972, the GOP happiness edge over Democrats has ebbed and flowed in a pattern that appears unrelated to which party is in political power.
For example, Republicans had up to a 10 and 11 percentage point happiness edge over Democrats in various years of both the Carter and Clinton presidencies, and as small as a three and five percentage point edge in various years of the Reagan and first Bush presidencies. Also, we should explain here a bit about how our survey questionnaire was constructed. The question about happiness was posed at the very beginning of the interview, while the question about political affiliation was posed at the back end, along with questions about demographic traits. So respondents were not cued to consider their happiness through the frame of partisan politics. This question is about happiness; it is not a question about happiness with partisan outcomes.
Of course, there's a more obvious explanation for the Republicans' happiness edge. Republicans tend to have more money than Democrats, and -- as we've already discovered -- people who have more money tend to be happier.
But even this explanation only goes so far. If one controls for household income, Republicans still hold a significant edge: that is, poor Republicans are happier than poor Democrats; middle-income Republicans are happier than middle-income Democrats, and rich Republicans are happier than rich Democrats.
Might ideology be the key? It's true that conservatives, who are more likely to be Republican, are happier than liberals, who are more likely to be Democrats. But even controlling for this ideological factor, a significant partisan gap remains. Conservative Republicans are happier than conservative Democrats, and moderate/liberal Republicans are happier than liberal Democrats. Hmmm, what other factors might be at play? Well, there's always...

As it was said by someone in an earlier thread, it is impossible to do anything but give amnesty(which is earned legalization not full amnesty). You cant deport them all, you just cant. They will not self deport, no matter how hard you make it for them. And you cant do nothing because there will only be more of them. Yes they broke the law(most of them, the kids did not) but it is a minor offense for which a huge fine of $5,000 is more then enough.
Some of you think that there is no greater crime then this, or at least you act like you think so. Well there are a lot worse crimes, that most of you have done like drugs, underage drinking or smoking, yet you weren't caught and you were not punished for it. So why should the people who try to make their lives better be punished for it?
P.S. - not interested in b.s answers

Not just visit/work for a few months or years, but really pack up all your possessions, say goodbye to friends and family, and move out of the U.S.A intending to establish a new life with permanent residency and citizenship in your new home.
A great job opportunity abroad? A transfer within your field? A significant other? Retirement? Winning the lottery? The federal and all state government seats occupied by extreme liberals or extreme conservatives?
Really, what would need to happen in your life?

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian officials are investigating what appears to be a batch of counterfeit toothpaste that was found in Toronto, Health Minister Tony Clement said on Wednesday.
The suspected fakes are labeled "Colgate" and have markings indicating they came from South Africa. Similar tubes, complete with grammatical errors, have been found in discount stores in four U.S. states.
"We do have inspectors and investigators who are on the scene and who are busy analyzing the product to see whether there is any kind of health hazard," Clement told Parliament.
"The best advice I can give until that investigation is complete is buyer beware ... In this particular case what has happened is not acceptable."
Colgate-Palmolive Co. says counterfeit toothpaste that may contain the toxic chemical diethylene glycol poses a low health risk.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has warned consumers to avoid any toothpaste made in China

for the past six years and congress for eleven before the past mid-term elections? Where is the party of responsibility and what is their part in this mess we now have? I blame democrats for not having enough balls to stand up to our President and risk being called un-American for voting to support him with Iraq but what about the rest? Open borders and ports, huge deficits both national and trade, millions of illegals even after the Reagan act in 86' to stop the illegals, signing statements to get around the rule of law, hapeus corpus suspended, torture, Abu Garhaib, Osama Bin Laden and on and on. Where is the responsibility?

...I'm wondering will anyone really vote "no" and defend their vote? It sure sounds nice in theory, but in reality if forced to die for their country the amount of the willing drops drastically.
I know that a common phrase among hippies was "there is nothing worth dying for." I want to see if we have any of those on this forum and, if so, see their reasoning.
I'm just saying that very many will say "yes" but of those many few will be willing to carry it out if opportunity arose. Only a minority, mostly extreme, will say that there is nothing worth dying for, and even then they are probably lying to themselves.

Thus far I've been fairly uninvolved/disinterested in politics. Next year, however, will be the first time I will be able to vote in a presidential election, as I will be turning 18 this year, and I have become very interested in the election. Obviously my decision will be a personal choice in the end, but what, from your experience, would you suggest I be looking at during the coming years? (Certain websites, certain media reporters with valuable perspectives...) What are the top 10 or more political issues (immigration laws, death penalty, etc.) that usually determine which candidate you select?

Why is it that we American’s refuse to change our primary source of fuel? We are completely dependent on oil! Imagine if all of the money that we are using to make sure we have allies in the Middle East went to our farmers to grow corn for ethanol or develop a specific farming technique to grow specific wood for Methanol. We would not be bending over backwards for countries that are in such turmoil. It would be somewhat hard to hold the US over the preverbal barrel if we could say, “we really don’t need that much oil and we don’t have to deal with you!”
Yes, I know most of you believe that we are there to help bring democracy to an unstable region. My opinion it is so we as a nation can import oil with ease with these nations. My understanding is that these are the top 10 nations that America imports oil from:
1. Canada
2. Mexico
3. Saudi Arabia
4. Venezuela
5. Nigeria
6. Angola
7. Iraq
8. Algeria
9. United Kingdom
10. Brazil
If we didn’t have to deal with 3 of which have unstable governments and 1 that has a questionable government, how much better off would we be economically and ecologically. So, why allow us to be so dependent on oil?
