Politics & Government - 18 August 2007

Just to name a few the civil rights movement, women rights, we went to the moon, cures and treatments for diseases were found, cities were modernized, more technologies evolved, education improved, communication became easier, we started to question our government more, stereotypes started to break down and people learned to accept other races, religions and cultures more than ever before, computers and the internet were invented, traveling by plane became more affordable. So why do people say that things were better in before the 60s?

The news media should be responsible for
getting the monumental stories out for the day
if they have a nose for journalism and know
that the world counts on them for responsible
reporting of the facts that can shape the world in
positive ways not just bring people to tears.

I hear around one in five young school children in England are now non-white and this is due to increase fast.

People say the BNP are racist and therefore one shouldn't vote for them. however as a white man why should this concern me? Most racism from the government seems to be directed at Englishmen, so unless I'm supposed to vote altruistically and for people who hate me, why should I not vote for the BNP?

Finally, I hold a BSc and I'm happily married so please don't infer that that my inquisition is anything other than it is - I'd just be interested to hear why voting BNP would be harmful to me and mine.

Lastly, and probably most important is that I see the BNP as a pressure group who will force the issue of immigration to be talked about, I don't believe a vote will lead them into power anytime soon.

It's all they think about! It's like they think their borders are constantly under attack when they're clearly not. whenever you see some nut in Iraq with a hostage, they've got the poor bugger dressed a "Camp X-Ray" inmate and they're bleating about "Our Muslim Brothers". It's clear to anyone that this didn't really happen five years ago and that America's just making the situation worse.

Of course I sympathise with the 11/9 attacks and agree that what happened was horrendous but talking constantly about killing all muslims does have certain "Holocaust" feel about it.

I'm British, so I'm not stranger to terrorism, bearing in mind the decades of IRA campaignes but I find the US' new found piety on the issue troubling considering the IRA was funded exclusively from America.

I'm not having a dig at America, just observing that throughout they're history, they've had an enemy "Who want to destroy our democratic way of life".

How long does someone have to sit in jail before another state comes and gets that person? After they have put a hold on them? My friends husband has sat in jail in MI for 16 days and the night before he was to be let out on a personal recognance bond they put a hold on him. Do they have a certain amount of time or just when they feel like coming to get him?

I think the answer is AirForce, but am unsure. It seems the AirForce has bases in places that are less dangerous and also their weapons are more long range type. and of course Marines would be right in the thick of things and the navy ships would have be father away from it all unless you are medical then again you are right in the thick of things and also gone for loner periods out on your ship....any opinions on which branch would be the least dangerous one to be in??

I just realized that my husband went to go sign the lease for our rental without me and there is a spot for my signature under my husbands. In that place there is a signature but it is definitely not mine. The landlord obviously forged it, does this make the lease void even though my husband signed it?

My father committed suicide nine months ago, and the DCI (the investigative team) took many of our possessions, computer digital camera, printer, cell phones, and many other valuable items. The death certificate came a month afterwards, but none of our possessions have been returned. Of course we have bought all new items because we have needed them, but we still could use them. Does this seem right to anybody, I think it is rediculous, is there any law or regulation that draws a line on how long this can take? After the DCI is finished, our police department still needs to go through it, as of now I would bet that our stuff is just sitting in a drawer.

I agreed to appear in an indie video. I had an agreement (via email) with the company who filmed it, that I would be paid $500 for being in the video. My original understanding was that this video would be sold as short film.

I went to the studio and they had me sign a release prior to making the video. I never got paid. I called the company and they said that, since I failed to perform the scenes as indicated in the contract/release, I violated the contract. (I didn't film one of the action scenes because another actor didn't show up at the set)

They also told me that they decided not to try and sell this as part of a short film, and they are just going to scrap the footage instead. I then re-read the release that they had me sign and it was different from the previous agreement mentioned via email. The one I signed said this is for a non-commercial project and that I was doing it without pay. And that it supercedes any previous contract, written or verbal.

Am I screwed?

There have been reports that the Bush Admin are trying to force Paetraus to paint a rosy picture.
If you think the reports are false, why do you think so? If you think the reports are true, are you surprised?

I'm planning on going into the airforce after highschool. I know that you have to stay in for at least four years before you get out. But when going to college, do you have to wear your uniform there?

Also, any site that tells you everything about the airforce(types of jobs and other things) would you please be able to give it to me?

The mainstream media usually does just as I tell them, but there are some persky new-media types, along with some people who have the gall to think for themselves, who continue to talk about all the things I've said and done in the past. How can I stop this? Okay, I have committed fraud, theft, money-laundering, and perjury. Sure, I have obstructed justice and cheated in the futures market. I said there were WMD's and demanded action against Iraq. I have a foul mouth and a bad temper. I mock black people by trying to talk like them in their churches. BUT HOW CAN I STOP THE RACIST, HOMOPHOBIC, RIGHT-WING LIARS WHO OPPOSE ME?

isn't it all about having a better argument? So far I don't see much in the way of good arguments, good ideas, solutions, a plan for the future from the conservative side....all I see from you are complaints and threats and name calling....you call people socialists or communists....clearly indicating that you have no idea what either one is......if I disagree with you, you're reaction is to beat me up....you don't agree with Michael Moore, so want to kick him. stop being angry and start coming up with conservative ideas that will bring solutions to the issues we face.....climate change, healthcare, energy, pollution......
