I have no interest in the slightest

I was thinking about saying something like " I look forward to helping the cause of the master white race"

Take no offence at this question ppl - I'm truely curious..

Just out of interest, I wonder if the US military has examined personnel files for those involved in Friendly Fire incidents, and look very closely at the section that covers religious faiths.?

I can't help wondering if the Americans found another way of aiding the irish republican army aka the FORMER ira ?

Instead of giving financial aid to the ira I’d be very interested in finding out if the Americans have found another way of aiding said former organisation in the elimination of all things british.

As I said above, TAKE NO OFFENCE, I'M JUST GENUINELY CURIOUS...

I believe all welfare recipients should be required to do community service work.....a way to give back for getting "freebies" (unless they are disabled, of course). What do you think?

If we were truly racist we would want ALL the immigrants of color to be gone, and would ignore all white illegals. For that matter if racism was at the root of it, there wouldn't be ANY legal Mexican immigrants instead of being the most common type.

Build the wall!
Deport the illegals!

They can't. There illegal!!! They have no I.D's, birth certificates or ssn cards. And! don't even try to say they have fake info because the government would not allow 20 million people to have fake info. Plus, Mexicans were here first before John Smith and his posse came up and snatched our land. Ok. Mexicans were here with the indians.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement (which is simply a thought experiment):

"Rights (human rights, right to reply, right to a phone call etc) are given to people via the law of the land. Therefore, when it has been proven that someone has broken the law of the land, they should lose those rights."

Or in other words, "no/reduced rights for criminals". What do you think? Agree or disagree?

I read in Time Magazine this morning that one of the mainstays of Democrat news media, the Weekly World News, is going out of business. For many years the WWN served as the primary source of current events and political philosophy for democrat posters on YA. It's stories of steamy trysts between Hillary and UFO crewmembers, lies told by President Bush, and endless Elvis sightings were a source of enlitenment for liberals everywhere. Although naturally saddened by the loss of such a cultural icon, it's readers can be encouraged that such informative publications as the NY Times and the Portland Oregonian are still in existance.

I know it seems like that is the only way it was ever done historically but to be married and the act of marriage is really a legal matter that binds two people legally and based on that it seems a justice of the peace is the proper way to be married.
