It seems like every day there is a news story on a different celebrity getting charged with multiple charges, yet either the charges are released or the celebrity receives such a low punishment as to give the appearance of special treatment.

What gives?

we were "sure" that they have nuke or chemical weappons. If so: would comander and cheif send more than 100.000 ground troops straight to their death? Sadam would never hesitate to use those "WMD" against our troops?
I have 2 questions:
1. Did government care about American lives? or
2. The government was sure that there were no WMD in Iraq and government misslead American people for some other reason ( OIL? or PNAC?)

The only thing I can find is that it was a vote 12 for and 1(Cuba) against. With Yemen and Ecuador abstaining. A couple of highly dubious websites say China also voted against it, but I don't think that's verifiable
I'm trying to find out who were the 12 countries that voted for Resolution 687.
Also, how does the UN decide which countries get a vote?
and did Saddam ever officially accept the cease-fire?
And is there a US government site where I can read up on "Iraq Liberation Act (Public Law 105-338)"

(I know it's a longshot that anyone will be able to answer any of these, but just it's worth a shot)

I'm no Klan Grand Master, but there are certain races that have annoying habits. Just because I feel like bringing the issue to the forefront, I am a racist?

Why would Bush or any republican stand by and let a 5 year old little guy die of an illness that they could be treated for cause they dont have enough insurance? Why would Bush or any republican want to stand by and watch a 68 year old grandmother wither away cause she does not have enough on her fixed income to pay for all her medicines? Why do they hate little children and kindly grandmothers?

Yesterday Bush opined about the war he skipped, saying it ended too soon. In Vietnam, where they actually know what happened, nobody thinks the war ended too soon. Funny how you feel that way when the war is in your country.

How disgusting is it that the President of a country that killed 4 million Vietnamese for no reason, now thinks 4 million wasn't enough?

With corruption, violence, and war, does our government need reform? Being left-wing, I think the checks and balances system needs to be enforced. There are many reforms that could be made.

My father says he was a Green Beret, but he was never
sent to Vietnam.

My fathers eyes are so bad he is completely night blind,
and nearly blind in the day light without his glasses
( which are as thick as bottle caps!)

Anyways, I'm wondering what is special or different
about a Green Beret than a regular soldier?

And How was my father able to get special training with
his eyes being so bad?

Well, my dad died about a year a go now, this September. My mom remarried and that so it wasn't a big deal to her. And my friends dad died a lil while before that and she got a lot of money from the state, (social security) when she didn't even know her dad. So i asked my mom about this and she says we are not "eligible" to receive the money so i let it go. But now i find how that she gets the money and she has been using it for her own personal spending money and lying to me about it. Is there anything i can do to keep her filthy hands off it. Its my money && my dad. Its also the only reason why she wont let me stay with my step dad , until I'm at least 16 so she cankeep my money, cause she is moving, and divorcing, and taking me with her.

outlaw abortion?


I suspect it's because then they'd lose the carrot they have every election year to draw the biblethumpers vote. If it wasn't an issue anymore, the redneck south would realize why they live in a trailer and be angry at the neocons who have mislead them all these years.

Nope, abortion is here to stay and the neocon leadership likes it like that.

and attacking another country for religious purposes and then taking away all of our constitutional rights and freedoms based on a so called war on terrorism? Can we really approve of that and did we actually capture any of the so called terrorist or are they getting stronger and stronger behind our backs and still in hiding? So where is the President where is the leadership of America? Should we continue to even call this America since it does not seem to respect its own constitution any longer? I wonder? How can we win under these circumstances what is it that we are winning? If we lose in Iraq why can't they can blame Bush? How can we win, but if we win why will they will look like pansy's, and who are the pansy's is this just some so called right wing christian fundamental propagandic stand?

Senator Kucinich has proposed a Department of Peace... to study ways of interacting globally with diplomacy. We already spend trillions of dollars on the War Department.. and nobody's saying we'd dismantle our defenses.. tell me what is so stupid about trying to plan for peace? Maybe its time we grow up, leave the cave behind, and stop hitting each other with sticks and stones. We live in a very small, very fragile world and war takes our youngest and best hope for the future

So I'm 13, and i was in Kindergarten, 1st grade, 6th and 7th in the same school. For 8th grade I'm going to a different school. My old school (the one I want to file the suit against), is a Catholic private school in Chicago.

I'm not trying to be vain, but I know that I have a beautiful voice. I do professional singing at a very prestigeous classical vocal studio. I sing at a college level and numerous adults and children say I have a beautiful voice. That of equal to, and greater than an adult.

So anyways, the reason I want to file a law suit against the school, is racism and prejudice. I am East Indian, and a Hindu.

Two years in a row, I did not make it in the school musical. Producer: Middle School religion teacher (from my school)
Conductor: Middle School music teacher (from my school)
Coreographer: 2nd grade boy's teacher (from my school)
Director: An actor friend of the rest of those people

All of those people are white Christians.

The first time, in 6th grade, when I was not selected, I didn't have my mom call and ask why I didn't get a role. I just had to deal with it, but I was depressed for two weeks straight.

The second time, I'd had enough. I did make my mom call the director. The director said I wasn't funny enough and I did not act well. That cannot be true because at all my other schools, I had always gotten the lead role because I've been taking drama classes since I was 5 years old. She even said herself that my voice is better than her own, and she does have a great voice. And honestly, my voice is better than hers. She also heard me sing during religion class when I sang "Ave Maria".

The annoying this is, that everyone expects me to get the lead role because I sing and act so wonderfully. People always have a smile on their face when I walk out of the results room because they are confident that I got a great role...and they are disappointed when I don't. I'm talking about my classmates.

All of the people who got lead rolls, usually either have their parents bribe the musical comittee into giving them a lead roll. Or they're just really "popular" kids, or they have other generations of their family go to that school, donate a lot of money to the school, or are the children of faculty/staff of the school. Mostly, they're all white Christians.

The only non white, non Christian girl who got the role of Elsa in the Sound of Music, was an East Indian Hindu. But there were some differences. She was super super popular, and nice, and she was the vice president on the student council. She also would never admit a whole lot that she was Hindu...like she was ashamed of it. She would never tell anyone unless they seriously asked, and all the teachers liked her. Like, in religion class, if a teacher put down my religion, I would stand up for my religion. This girl would not.


So I'm seriously guessing it's racism or/and prejudice.

And I'm not overrating myself. I do have a beautiful voice, and I can act. People are always stunned and speechless after I sing and act. And they're always MUSICALS, so you'd think music is the key thing there. I also have a TON more experience than the other kids. I sing in English, Italian, Russian, German and Latin. I have nearly 30 songs in my portfolio, and in just two years of classical training, I've come a LONG way. I'm the youngest person in the studio. All the rest of the people are just out of college.

So what do you think?

Could I possible file a law suit against that school for alleged racism or something like that?

Please, only serious answers!

Sorry this took so long!
