Armed Forces charity decided to buy a £ 1.7million 6-bedroom house nearby Headley Court military rehabilitation centre so visiting relatives would have somewhere to stay. Of course they need wheelchair ramps- for the disabled.
The well-heeled neighbours in Ashtead, Surrey, launched their own offensive (note the same moronic petit-bourgeoisie who'll jump to defend ethnics, PC & multi-culturism)
The Nouvea Riche have flooded the council with almost 100 letters of protest, raising every conceivable objection to the new property being used to house families visiting soldiers.
One resident even objected on security grounds, claiming the house could become a terrorist target, while another suggested wheelchairs would present a fire hazard.

For minor infractions, wouldn't this be a lot more efficient, less burdensome on the taxpayers? Just get it over with and let everyone get on with their life. What do you think?

I work on the 3rd floor of an office building in a large mail order company. Directly below us is the smoking shelter and when we open a window the smell of smoke is over powering and we are forced to shut the window. Surely if the reason smokers are not allowed to smoke inside is because it is a health hazard then what is the stance on smoke coming in the windows and being subjected to it 35 hours per week at least.

At least within our lifetimes ?
Considering Al Queda's numbers alone , we're in big trouble no matter how you look at it . Considering Radical Islamist's numbers of members , and the percentages of 'sympathisizers'(roughly estimated to be between 20 and 40% of all Muslims) , we may be in a battle that has no end** . And folks , please be smart enough to know that even if we weren't in Iraq , they clearly would be advancing anyways there and elsewhere . Folks , they are active in 80 countries . And they would've likely been active in even more if we weren't forcing them to defend their positions in Iraq . Aside from Iraq , what about the other 79 countries ? We can't fight in 80 countries , not alone anyway . We'd need the whole world or the vast majority of it to join us . And for various reasons , that's never gonna happen . Then add Hezbollah and Hamas , coupled with their state-sponsors Iran and Syria , we are certainly in danger .
** - This is likely the Endtimes .

That is, when a sniper has to spend days creeping up to where he will eventually be using his rifle, how does he relieve himself (as in use the toilet) when he cannot get up or move in any normal way because it would reveal his position? Does a sniper use diapers or some other technique? Does he fast or change his diet prior to such a mission requiring days of creeping along the ground on his belly? This sort of information never seems to be mentioned in stories about military snipers. Thank you.

... in Congress. We get it that the Dems want to pull out of Iraq. So why are they wasting their time and taxpayer money to debate this issue over and over again, passing non-binding resolutions, and passing bills that they know will be vetoed and they don't have the votes to override?
People complained that the last Congress (Repub controlled) was a do-nothing Congress (and I agree), but so is this one. They're just doing nothing differently.

do you think it will be productive as a way to get candidates to show their real thinking or is it a stunt to massage the egos of youtubers and the candidates will predesign their answers as they too can preview all the questions? How could video uploaded by citizens better be used in a debate? Could the questions be kept secret? Is this cnn youtube debate a real bridge between polticians and voters or is it a circus where folks will watch to see themselves on tv.and others will watch cause it might be strange ? im steven marcus at www.inglesgarantizado.com

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

rather than voting once every five years for someone who gets to make all YOUR decisions for you!....ie; do you want to see some real genuine democracy?
or dou you see us as irresponsible infants who should be mollycoddled soothed and pandered to, and "looked after" by the mummy and daddy politicians?
if politics&the law are bought off by by business and finance, dont we need to start having a direct say in the decisions being taken?

When the Reichstag burned --- Hitler used this as evidence that the communists were plotting against his government. That night Van der Lubbe and 4000 Communist leaders were arrested. Hitler forced President Hindenburg to pass an 'emergency decree' suspending all articles that guaranteed freedom and liberty. Hitler's police were then allowed to seize property and take people without any sort of trial.
You can sya well that did not happen in America ,but this would mean you lack a mind able to see the evidence and similarity between the two .The parallels in the U.S. on this point are endless. Obviously, the Bill of Rights and especially the 1st Amendment are the most important element of our Constitution. But, due to the government fear mongering that has occurred since 9/11, security, rather than liberty has become the priority. Countless examples of intimidation, jailing, and outlawing political speech have arisen in the past 3 years. Those who question or oppose government policy are branded as terrorists. Under “Homeland Security,” we are told that we need to find a “balance” between liberty and security. This balance was completely absent from the philosophy of the Founding Fathers. This is one of the most dangerous developments in America today.

I thought the press conference he gave was incredibly insincere, especially with his assertion that he knew God had forgiven him. The wife didn't help especially since she once blasted Hillary for staying with Bill when he cheated.
So my question, did you find Vitter's apology to be sincere or just a face saver?
