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?

I mean...I hate Christians and Jews...but that is justified by my clear thinking...and the Jihadist declaration of war on the US...well...that was just about our policies.

An article about how unemployment rates are so low in some western states that people are turning-down jobs that pay $12 an hour and McDonald's employees are being offered $10 an hour to start...maybe "migration" is the answer for the US citizens on welfare or who can't find a job. There seem to be plenty of decent entry-level positions in these areas...

This morning, economic figures for the state of Arizona were released. These figures were compiled to specifically address the problem of illegal immigrant labor. The study found that gross cost for the state was 1.4 billion with a gross gain of 29.2 million . . . leaving the state nearly 28 billion net positive. Do you think the Federal mandates to target employers who hire illegal immigrants will ultimately hurt the economic growth of Arizona. Unemployment, even with immigration, is estimated to be about 3.5% . . . well below the national average. Is it unrealistic to address economic data on a state by state measure . . . ? Outside of the obvious political situation, how would you handle the economic deficit? (I'm looking for an economic answer, but all will be appreciated.)

I waived jury trial and wish I wouldn't have but.. What is an appeal? Is the a ruling based on the trial I had? Who reviews the trial and is it either dismissed or will they decide whether to go to another trial? Can I ask for a specific judge to review it or is it sent to a higher court? This was in Douglas County Oregon. Aug. 9 2007. Please all help is very much appreciated but yours truly.

Democrats and Republicans alike constantly focus on wedge issues that polarize America. If these two parties, instead, focused on protecting our borders, our troops and started defending the constitution (see Patriot Act, FISA) wouldn't America be better off, wouldn't the people reunite?

I thought I'd share a fun quiz that I found on a friends blog:

http://www.blogthings.com/areyouasocialistorcapitalistquiz/

My results:

You Are 72% Capitalist, 28% Socialist In general, you support a free economy and business interests. You tend to think people should fend for themselves, even when times get tough. However, do think the government should help those who are truly in need.

Feel free to share your results! :)

Nobody had guns? I know this isn't realistic but this is a what if question, what if there was some new technology that prevented firearms from working, or something to that affect so that we could say for sure, 100% no one would have a gun, would you be willing to give up you're gun? If you wouldn't, why not?

Which canidate would be considered the best when it comes to well-being of the U.S. troops?

2007-08-25 00:50:47 · 18 answers · asked by Anonymous in Military

1) New York City has 11 letters

2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.

3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin
Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.

4) George W Bush has 11 letters.

This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:

1) New York is the 11th state.

2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number 11.

3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11

4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers.
6+5 = 11

5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 = 11

6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number
911. 9 + 1 + 1 = 11.

Sheer coincidence...?!? Read on and make up your own mind:

1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was
254. 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.

2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again 2 + 5 + 4
= 11.

3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.

4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers
incident.

Now this is where things get totally eerie:

The most recognised symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Qu'ran, the Islamic holy book:

"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle.
The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo,
while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for
the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was
peace."

That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.

uncovinced about all of this STILL?!? Try this and see how you feel afterwards, it made my hair stand on end:

Open Microsoft Word and do the following:

1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first
plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.

2. Highlight the Q33 NY.

3. Change the font size to 48.

4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS 1, WINGDINGS 1 is a symbol key that replaces letters with well known sybols RANDOMLY. WINGDINGS 1 was devised well before 9/11!

What do you think now?!?

And this so-called "War on Terror" was declared by the very man who took those freedoms? And this man had a track record of using this "War on Terror" as an excuse to attack countries that had nothing to do with terrorism?

I think they would wonder why they bothered, and tell freedom-loving people it was time to start over.

Hillary Clinton has said a terror attack before the 2008 election would give 'a boost' to the GOP. Could it be, perhaps, that Republicans are better at handling terrorists, and the public knows it?

The last time I don't remember what group I was in but I had to go 3 days in a row til they finally chose their jurors and I was finally allowed to go home. They even made me transfer from one court to another!!!
