On Tuesday, March 28, 2006, the front page of the Whittier Daily News featured a photograph where the Mexican flag was being flown above an American flag that had been turned upside down. The caption below the photograph read, “Anti-immigration reform protesters put the Mexican flag above the American flag flying upside down at Montebello High School on Monday.”

I found this out today. Unless you specifically opt out of their Privacy rule (I found that amusing, since privacy is something that they clearly don't recognise) every single site you visit, address you type and cookie that gets downloaded is logged EVERY SINGLE TIME you sign in to Yahoo.
You'll find the Privacy stuff hidden away in their terms and conditions, or if you fancy opting out, here's the link.

I didn't consent to them picking up my activities, I'm damn sure I'm not the only person who finds snooping just because they can highly offensive.
Let's see how long this stays on before good old Yahoo! decides it's not in the public interest.

I see what Bush was trying to do. If Iraq became a free market society where people were free it would spread like a virus throughout the region. The desperation which breeds terrorism would cease to exist. I think that is why they are so desperate to stop the Iraq thing from working out. If it does terrorism in the name of Islam will die. What do you think?

There are approximately 37 million Americans currently drawing social security benefits. In 13 short years, this number is expected to jump to 72 million.
Since its conception, social security has collected hundreds of billions of dollars above its payouts. Since the Carter administration, the social security trust fund has been raided to balance the federal budget. As a result, the money collected to pay future retirees has been squandered. Our government has done what it does best, create big problems for future generations.
None of the presidential candidates are addressing this looming problem, which will begin to surface in 2012.
Will the solution just be abolishing SS in 2012? Will the feds just keep collecting the money until the payouts are impossible to meet and just say sorry, you guys are screwed?
If SS is doomed to collapse, perhaps the fed should stop collecting the money now.
Any thoughts?

We'd have plenty of room for our over-crowded prison population, and I doubt illegals would try climbing the prison walls to get into the U.S. (and if they do, they're "home"). Seems to me it would solve a lot of problems and be cheaper than us throwing more billions of dollars at the border without results.

So, I was watching the news this morning. And this segment came on about two 10 year old boys that might have the possibility of being a registered sex offender for slapping girls butts in school. As well as up to 10 years in prison. Why should they deserve the same kind of sentence a rapist would get...Why should they be an example pretty much for what kids and adults do every day....if thats the case. why aren't we all in jail....or registered sex offender.
i understand that it was wrong of them.
but there TEN YEAR OLD BOYS.
what do you expect...
anyways.
whats your take on this?

My son is a paraplegic and they give him a medication with THC in it to give him an appetite. They said if marijuana was legal he could just smoke that. (the Doctor said it jokingly of course). But I thought, why not let the American farmers grow it, so America can reap the profits.

This was FOOLISH and dangerous for military personnel.
The serial number was harmless, not connected to civilian info/data. The enemy gained little from beating name, rank, serial number out of you.
Only a numbskull liberal, military hater would not see that!

You say more Americans own homes and new cars, but what you forget is the debt associated with it! America is jnow in negative savings for the first time since the late 1920's. The only country that has investment money is China with 330 Billion and they are buying everything in sight. The stock market is inflated and simular to the dot coms will be seeing an adjustment. How mulch and how soon is anyones guess. For close to 26 years now Reagan policies have driven us into a debtor nation and unless we get a handle on this the only way to survive will be continuous war like the neocons want. What say you now?

People are too much complicated in their nature to be led in a simple fashion,with a few slogans.Insides ourselves we are full
of greed,love,fear and hatred.We will carry our own history and
past.So when we make a revolution we bring with ourselves
all these factors in different proportions.Revolutions have
always disregarded all these individual differences.
