If liberals are always interested in protecting people who have a minority position, and the minority of people support the war, why don't liberals respect that point of view?

Yesterday a stranger came to my door wanting my homeowners insurance, claims she fell on my sidewalk. No one saw her and she did not seek medical help. Plans to on Monday. There is a 5/8 inch uneven square on the walk. Just like about 20 on my street. Does anyone know if homeowners will pay. I'm almost thinking she is a scamer. Any ideas?

I have a residence order and my ex-husband has contact at alternate weekends and one evening per week. Now our daughter has started secondary school, he is stating he will be picking her up from the bus stop every day against my wishes. Does anyone know what steps I need to take to prevent him from doing this or where I could obtain free legal advice (I work but am unable to afford to pay solicitors fees)?

"Because they'r evil. Because they're ruthless. Because they would do it to us in a heartbeat."

1. These things don't matter. Torture of an enemy, no matter how evil, no matter how ruthless is in direct violation of the principals of democracy.

2. The fact that they would do it to us just proves the point even more. They do it. We don't. That is what makes us the good guys and them the bad guys. As Friedrich Nietzsche said "Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster."

3. Don't you think an enemy would be more willing to surrender if they knew they would be treated humanely? If they knew they would be tortured they'd probably strap a bomb to themselves to blow up a few people as they went.

4. Torture makes new enemies. George Washington, the father of our country, strictly forbade mistreatment of POW's during the Revolutionary War, even though the enemy allowed it. This actually convinced enemy troops to join the American cause.

I think so. Bush is no longer listening to Cheney and Rove. I guess Bush's new circle is Robert Gates, Condi Rice, Gen. Petraeus, and Josh Bolten.

We are bogged down in Iraq because of an enemy who does not engage our troops unless he is cornered, doesn't wear a uniform, covers his face and hides amongst women and children, (even in schools and churches), plants bombs then runs away, and recruits children to blow themselves up in suicide attacks.
He will even blow up his own people if they don't cooperate with him, or give him assistance.
Are we facing the end of civilization if we don't win in Iraq?
Don't we have to put politics aside, and put all our effort into defeating this barbaric enemy?

To hear American Conservatives describe the situation, there are dead Canadians lying in the streets because of Nationalized Health Care.
Have the Canadians (or people in Germany and Israel for that matter) taken to the streets in protest to demand the right to buy Blue Cross Blue Shield policies at $500 per month?

This security guard lied on me. We had a friendly conversation. For a total of 40 minutes. I never spoke to him again. 3 weeks later he reported me and I was suspended. M y boss hates me any way so this was right up her alley. I believe he might started liking me. I don't know. He seem angry because I did not conversate with him any more. My boss wouldnt even tell me what I did wrong. My boss told me that he said, I said something immpropriate. Neither boss wanted to spend any time telling me what I was suspend for. I live any michigan and there are no jobs. My bosses act as if they did not want to hear my side of the story. They told me they are investigating but wouldn't quite tell me what,nor ask to hear my side of the story. I heard he wrote that said something sexual and I heard from people on my job. I am still on suspension. They lied and told me it was a 3 day suspension. That was a lie, they trick me into coming in just find out I was not on schedule. What can I do ?

This can lead to the end of the human race and everything else living! Get over your political parties and who said what! When there is no water left, THEN what are you going to do?!? You're lucky that my generation will fix your problems. If you all don't believe global warming then look up global dimming. That will explain why we are not completely feeling the effects of global warming. I would rather trust the scientists instead of the corporations...

It really annoys me when idiots say they only went to war over the oil. Do these people really think that Bush and Blair really care if fuel was 100 times the price. They would still be driving around in big cars, with the old central heating going full pelt The only people who would suffer would be the rest of us, so even if the war was fought for, or over oil supply then it is US who benefit as a society not them and them alone. Wake up England and realise it is in our best interest to keep the worlds oil coming this way. You lot all want the luxuries in life but dont understand just how they are so easily available. I know innocent people have died but we all are going to one day. I wants a big telly and the electric to keep it going, and so I believe do YOU.

I asked a Union roofer that question in a bar one time and he said; "I have two words for companies who hire illegal aliens, "Gasoline" "Matches."
But, what can the average citizen do?
I think calling those companies on the phone or writing them letters telling them that you know that they are committing federal felonies by hiring illegals would put them on notice so to speak.
Also, maybe calling the local police.
Just the fact that the police show up at their place of business is putting them on notice too.
That way we get it "on record."
Also taking pictures and getting license plate numbers and descriptions of vehicles.
What do you think the average citizen can do?
I think we really do need to start making things uncomfortable for businesses who hire illegal aliens!

By Francois Murphy

PARIS (Reuters) - French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said on Sunday his country must prepare for the possibility of war against Iran over its nuclear program, but he did not believe any such action was imminent.
Seeking to ratchet up the pressure on Iran, Kouchner also told RTL radio and LCI television that the world's major powers should use further sanctions to show they were serious about stopping Tehran getting atom bombs, and said France had asked French firms not to bid for tenders in the Islamic Republic.
"We must prepare for the worst," Kouchner said in an interview, adding: "The worst, sir, is war."
Asked about the preparations, he said it was normal to prepare for various eventualities.
"We are preparing ourselves by trying to put together plans that are the chiefs of staff's prerogative (but) that is not about to happen tomorrow," he added.
