I just finished reading about Germany paroling a murderer. Personally, I think the gallows in Kansas would be a good setting for her first and last photo shoot.

Am I alone in seeing that it's been taken over by trolls, clones, conspiracies theorists, people with muliple Id's, who merely show up to bash, and 'gangs' who freely hand out violations to shut up the opposition? How about the daily dose of hateful atheists? I have friends who are atheists and they'd never consider behaving like these people do.

Does anyone know of any decent sites that allow REAL debate? I'm going to begin participating less because I can no longer stomach the trolls and hate mongers.

Kids who have to be bribed to be good, are like Christians that have to be bribed to be good. They are not good people, and you can never know when they will turn bad.

It seems to me Britain would benefit from this, and had it been done from the 1950's onwards, this country would be a better place!

Some cultures and races seem to do well here, and others simply do not. Im generalising, as i think you have to, but using criteria such as: successful integration with the indiginous british, levels of employment, academic achievement, family stability, levels of crime/%of prison population etc, peoples such as Middle Eastern Christians, Jews, Non Muslim Indians(Hindu, Sikh, Jain etc), Orientals/Chinese, Poles, Czechs, Italians, Greeks etc seem to do very well in Britain, as do Anglo/Celtic people who are historically british and come back, such as Australians, Kiwis, Canadians, South Africans, White Zimbabweans etc.

Whereas Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Somalis, Afro-Caribbeans(paricularly young men), North African Arabs, Albanians, Kurds etc do not do so well using those criteria.

Muslims seem to fit in less well than other religions also.

As UK is confiscating passports for those who don't want a "voluntary" National ID.
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=54644

Chertoff now says those that live in states that won't abide by RealID need passports to travel domestically???!!!

".....Americans may need passports to board domestic flights or to picnic in a national park next year if they live in one of the states defying the federal Real ID Act.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff says there are no plans for a federal database of drivers' information. (yeah, right!)

The act, signed in 2005 as part of an emergency military spending and tsunami relief bill, aims to weave driver's licenses and state ID cards into a sort of national identification system by May 2008. The law sets baseline criteria for how driver's licenses will be issued and what information they must contain......."

I have worked in law inforcement and as a correction officer. I've seen many laws being broken by the officers. When I complained I was the one who got set up and repermanded. As a civilian I've seen many traffic laws broken by patromen. To name a few like speeding , double parking, leaving their patrol car unattened with engine running, use their police car as their own private car, park blocking a Fire Hydrant,
and ect. I don't believe this is right but everyone acts like it's okay. I've even heard they have a special right to do this.

Picture yourself in George W. Bush's shoes with no one to support you or rally you on except God and several Republicans. What would you do? Do you want to go on with planned or surrender to the Democrats?

A friend has an 11 year old daughter recently diagnosed with Epilepsy and the child cannot be left alone. The Mom has asked her employer to allow her to work hours to ensure that she can pick up her daughter from school for the safety and well-being of the child. The Mom wants to work straight through the day - 8 hours and leave in time to pick up her daughter (which amounts to 30 minutes ) and the employer has refused to accommodate her. She has written directions from the physician on the child's needs. Is this legal?

The Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that the right to bear arms refers to the 2nd Amendments clause "a well organized militia", to wit, the National Guard. In other words , if you want a gun you will be provided with all sorts, howitzers, mortars etc. Of course you might also be provided with the opportunity to really use them, ie Iraq.
