I thought it was interesting but there was no debate.. just the typical one liners for the papers. I think it will be stagnation as usually if any of the top 3 dems get elected.

for example:

if you live in UK, the law states you can only have 1 wife
as we are aware some religions allow more than 1 wife
if this person lives in UK, can he have a British passport, and in fact, should he even be allowed to live in UK when he is disobeying the law ?

[how anyone would want more than 1 wife is beyond me - imagine double the nagging - including 2 mother-in-law's !!]

I recently read a book about a man who attempted to track down all the cases of soldiers getting spit on, hit, and otherwise verbally abused. He said that he couldn't find a SINGLE case of something like that happening and the stories only began appearing years AFTER the end of the Vietnam war.

He stated of all the stories about soldiers getting harrassed, there was not a single case of fist fights between soldiers returning from Vietnam and civilian protestors. Now think to yourself, if someone spit on you after watching your friends die, you would want to smack them in the face, right?

So the question I propose is this, ask relatives and friends who were in Vietnam if they or someone they know DID get abused when returning from Vietnam.

We need details and possibly names if you want, I want to settle this issue as soon as possible.

I don't understand why people have to run across the border instead of going through the legal process. Could someone please clarify?

I don't understand why you are called anti immigrant or worse if you want illegal immigration stopped and legal immigration slowed down. I don't have any problem with anyone no matter where they are from. The problem I have is with the sheer number of people coming in, and the fact that we don't have the ability to take care of all of them.

In other words, I really like all animals, especially cats and dogs, but I only have 1 dog and 2 cats because I don't have the time or resources to take care of many more. If someone wanted me to have 20,000 pets in my home, I would tell them no. Would that make me anti pet, or if all the pets were cats would I be anti cat and accused of anti cat bigotry and told I just don't like cats?

Its the same thing now with immigration. I think its fine as long as the numbers are manageable, and if there is some diversity in the group. I don't like have 80% from one area and the fact that there are so many its overwhleming the country.

Israel has created new textbooks for Israeli Arabs which discuss the Palestinian views and their plight. This must be a good thing. http:/news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_

Meanwhile, on a Palestinian TV programme for kids, programmes are telling Muslim children as young as three that they should rally to the call of Jihad and kill Israelis whenever possible. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news.articl...

And yet even now, I've just read a post criticising the Israelis for putting together textbooks that reflect and discuss both 'sides' in the Israeli/Arab problem! It's really absurd.

Note: please don't start banging on about Israel always being in the wrong; there is right and wrong on BOTH sides. Yes of course the Palestinians must have their own state - but they must also reject terrorism.

How England and America seem to have adpoted very similar laws that seem to be heading in a direction of a police state, that spies and has complete control over its people.

I also find it a bit strange how supposedly independly both Bush and Blair gave top jobs to their mates in government. This has not occured previously in either country as far as I am aware.

I had someone tell me they reported me to Yahoo, and they were guilty of doing something to me as well, they used profanity and more in emails to me, yet they said I was "stalking" them, we had been friends for almost 8 years and so I dont see how they could feel that way, t his was a man, I dont know if my profile shows me as a man, but I am a woman, and I tried to find out as much as I can from Yahoo about this, but no real answers yet, everything seems so mechanical, what will happen if this is true??...and what can I do to defend myself?...thanks for any and all help

Initially, we watched millions of illegals and hispanics with Mexican and other Latin American flags. Some had bad attitudes and clenched hands as if to provoke Americans to their plight. Many demonstrations were not planned and done in poor taste. They were abrupt and interfered with schools and law abiding communities.

We watched in disbelief as they screamed Viva Mexico! This was supposed to have won us over, of course. After the fact, hispanic and latin politicians and other racial groups started demanding that we allow every illegal to stay plus develop a plan to allow others on a work program. If you have 20 million illegals, why do you need more for a work program?

When everything started to simmer down, hispanic editors started writing and calling folk nazis, racist, bigots, and any other negative descriptive word. THE ONLY THING THEY ACCOMPLISHED out of this dog and pony show was to wake a sleepy giant, the American people.

I'm getting a fussy vibe here and there from media+net. Not everyone of course, but a lot.

I've heard from at least two republicans who describe something sensible they got out of it. I enjoyed what they said.
