Recently a BlackHawk Helicopter went down in Iraq because of "Mechanical Problems" and British Soliders where Killed recently by a American Bomb,why are the American Soliders so Stupid?They can't crush the Iraqi Freedom Fighters after Four Years (2003-2007) of Warfare.

U.S.Military Recruitment is Down while Sucides among the Soliders are up.The Iraqi People want the American Invaders out because U.S. Soliders Killed Innocent civilans,Raped Young Girls and turned their Nation into Chaos.Running Water and Electrictity are in short supply along with long lines for gasoline.
The American Military is a Joke and can't do anything right,they should pack up leave Iraq and go Home.

I've been sitting back, reading and watching news since the war begun. And the one thing I can't seem to figure out is what Bush hopes to gain from this useless war.

Aside from an increase in military deaths, suicide, and the gain of universal hatred.

And the answer 'To spread Democracy!" won't work. Thats a load, and almost everyone knows it. You can't spread Democracy under a wannabe dictator. Almost an oxymoron.

I'm sure the ones who want to believe this are the Bush wads who still think this man is on the right track.

And before you try and insult me, sorry. I'm not a democrat, and certainly not a republican. I've lost faith in this wonderful country of ours to pick a side. And any insult you toss at me, I've heard before. So, feel free to say what you want.

So, what do you guys think?

fom women born outside the country was 12.8% this may seem high but in 2006 birthrate to the same group was 21.9% does this make you feel that there is a case for limiting immigrant families to two children per family. Making them aware of the rule before they decide to settle here?

Ever since Bush took office, there has been so much Bush bashing. Though I don't agree with everything he does, I don't he's as bad as many portray. The economy, for example, is doing pretty well, but he rarely gets credit for it.

So what is really going on here with all this "Bush bashing" ? And why are so many Americans buying into it ?

Is this why some people find it OK to drop bombs on different people with different passports, colors and language.....

I hear CONS say all the time 'better to kill them over there', isn't it racist?

A convicted sex offender was sentenced to death for kidnapping 9-year-old Lunsford, raping her and burying her alive in his yard. His first confession was thrown out as evidence because Couey did not have a lawyer present. Despite this he incriminated himself other times. Jail workers testified that he repeatedly admitted details of the slaying, insisting he hadn't meant to kill the third-grader but panicked during the police search, investigators found physical evidence including DNA from the girl's blood and Couey's semen on a mattress in his room as well as her fingerprints in a closet. HIs criminal record included 24 burglary arrests, carrying a concealed weapon, and indecent exposure to a 5-year-old girl in 1991. It might be interesting to know how the sequence of these events culminated in this. These same changed laws also affected her brother unintentionally later.

In the case of Michael Vick, I think those guys are heros.

Dog fighters are often involved in the sale and possession of drugs, as well as illegal weapons. The weapons are present due to the large amount of cash present for betting upon the matches. 
Dog fighters and spectators have a history of violent and criminal behavior towards people. 
Dog fighting is another entertainment activity for gangs.

take clases to assimilate to the american way of life, good or bad.
pay any fines due.
what do you think? any adders to this plan?

The conservative religious right wing, are on a rampage about the "liberals" and "moral decay" and say that their religion is the solution to today's modern soulesness...
Bulhockie!! the facts show that non-religious people are infact MORE vertueous than their religious counterparts. 10% of America is atheist and only 1% of atheists are in jail.
Most crime comes from the "bible belt" . and highly educated states like massachusetts who are very non-relgious, have some of the lowest crime and teen pregnancy rates..why is this?

Relgious findimentalists are also degrading hard won science, like evolution? this i cannot believe, and these ingorent creed of people who preach anti-semetism and homophobia in their churches think that they are worthy to run a country?

for their actions. This references politicians on both sides of the aisle. So when will the average American wake up and realize they are scamming us all and laughing at our bickering amongst each other, because when all is said and done, they have succeeded on putting us average Americans on the Titantic and they are nowhere to be found. while the politicians and corporate leaders have been working hand in hand all along, harvesting us working slobs, they have managed to have us sit here calling each other names about it.

I say we get together and realize who the enemy is here. What say you?

As a moderate I rarely support the death penalty however I think that all first degree murder convictions should result in a mandatory life without sentence. As a citizen do you agree with me or do you think that more sentencing considerations should be given to this offense?

He's a lying thieving alcoholic waste of space who mentally ground me to a gibbering wreck within 3 yrs. I have 2 children with him. Neither of which he has seen for 13 months. My son is just 2 and does not know him. My daughter is 3 1/2 and remembers about 3 things about him. He's not worked for about 10 yrs (he's nearly 40 yrs old now) and scrounges benefits for drink money. He never paid towards the childrens upbringing.
He aquired money from a claim he made and is suddenly taking me to court to have the right to see them.
I don't believe its in their interest for him to be a part of their life now. They are very very happy and settled now and his pot smoking boozing influence is not something i wish my children to be influenced by.
Do i stand a chance of legally getting him to keep away or do i need to face the fact that the law won't see what i am trying to achieve and grant him access?

can anyone with legal knowledge help me. a power of attorney was drawn up in early 2006 when my mum was diagnosed with dementia, but it was not registered with court of protection until now. at the time i was living with a partner - we have since split under the pressure of me moving back to care for my mum - i had no claim over his house as i didnt pay anything and my name wasnt on deeds, i moved back here in 2006 to look after her, now i have been told that power has to be registered and solicitor asked me to sign notice i didnt see that my old address was on it but it has been picked up by my kids who have been notified. solicitor says no prob my old address on it but im worried cos my address is my mums not old one and we get things like council tax discount cos im living here with her, if i have to show anything looks like im not living here should i listen to solicitor or what should i do, some of her previous advice has not been sound.

You would have thought the United States had committed some unforgivable crime against humanity if you listened to the howls of rage emitting from a horde of liberals whining over the fate of an illegal alien who played them for suckers.

Her name is Elvira Arellano and whatever else she may be, she’s a master propagandist who knows full well just which buttons to push to unleash a flood of liberal do-gooder tears from those who don’t recognize a con man (or woman) even when the con is so obvious a ten-year-old could see it.

In case you haven’t been paying attention, for the past year Sra. Arellano has been playing the part of a victim of heartless U.S. immigration laws that demand that she be deported just because as a serial illegal alien she just plain doesn’t belong north of the U.S.-Mexican border, which she has long used a her own personal revolving door.

As part of her con game she managed to find a clergyman who was willing to offer her sanctuary in his church, which she used as a pulpit to preach about the injustice of being persecuted by a brutal government that wanted do ship her south of the border. She wailed it would separate her from her 8-year-old son, the by-product of some furtive sexual encounter with a man she either refuses to identify or whose identity has somehow slipped her mind (if she ever knew in the first place).

Elvira has made herself into the poster girl for amnesty for all illegal aliens, and it’s been a spectacle to watch how she’s done it. Especially since neither she nor her son can speak a word of English.

Safe from the grasping hands of the immigration cops who risked being boiled in media oil had they violated the alleged sanctuary, she created a flood of stories depicting her plight at the hands of the heartless Feds.

Needless to say, the wooly-headed liberals who dominate the media managed to avoid writing about or broadcasting the sordid tale of the real Elvira Arellano. As a result, when justice finally prevailed and she was sent packing by the immigration authorities, a great cry of agony arose from the left and from the illegal immigration community, which cannot understand why most Americans labor under the false belief that people here in the U.S. should obey the law, especially when the law says those wishing to reside within our borders should abide by the laws that restrict immigration to those willing to obey the immigration laws.

Another story I read said that she did not want to take her son to Mexico because she did not want him to forget how to speak English. Which is the truth?The kids eight years old and in the 2nd grade and he can’t speak a word of English? By the way, he’ll be addressing the crowd in Washington DC on Wednesday September 12. That’s a school day in Chicago. Guess the English immersion will have to wait.

I say that because it seems every weapon covered is portrayed as unstoppable and invincible. There was a feature of the Osprey, and not one mention of the numerous test crashes were mentioned! What the hell!

The host makes it seem like every weapon covered is the perfect weapon. He brought DragonSkin on and nothing penetrated it. I can't honestly believe that's true. If it were, that would be a revolution in body armor technology that would have been proclaimed to the masses everywhere.

Am I crazy or do other people see this about this show?

There are still a few select shmucks in here that I still cannot stand.... they fail to see that not all conservatives are mindset on political issues.

What country in the world wouldnt throw you out on your ***? You still dont have the numbers, money, or education to further your cause. Real simple. Come to America, have fun, but get legal, pay your taxes and never ask the government for a handout. It just shows how low bred and opportunistic you really are. If you dont want to learn english, fine. You will never rise above third-class citizen, no matter how many babies you have.
