TEHRAN (Reuters) - His speeches cause outrage in the West and critics at home say his economic policies are failing, but President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad still rallies Iran's poor with his common touch and promises of state handouts.

They call him a holocaust denier, but Israel denys the existance of the entire Palestinian race, they say there are no Palestinians , and deny them thier basic human rights and thier right to return to thier homes. whats worse denying something that happened 50 years ago or denying something that has been going on for 50 years.

Pardon me if you feel like I'm stereotyping but I'm only talking about what I see. I've lived in Texas my whole life and noticed that white people allow their children to run freely in stores, movie theaters, restaurants, etc. while they shop, talk on their phone, talk to others or just ignore them. Even when the kids are in the way of workers and shoppers or are knocking stuff over, making a lot of noise, etc. I NEVER see them reprimanded. Once when my friend worked at a drugstore, she said that a white mom went home and LEFT her kid in the store only to come back an hour later after she realized she forgot her. I know that some cultures don't believe in reprimanding children in front of others and that discipline takes place in the home, however, I don't understand why children are allowed to run amok and be so disruptive and sometimes destructive while mom turns and looks the other way. Even if you don't have an answer...does anyone else know what I mean?

he's scheduled to have knee arthroscopy next week ? ( a non-invasive knee surgery, he doesn't know what his doctor will find out ).
I asked this question a short time ago, but now his medical procedure came into the picture. He assured me that this arthroscopy will not affect his deployment to Afghanistan in November or December, he says he'll be with Special Forces. He's 57, going through knee arthroscopy, and he says he'll be deployed soon and will join Australian Special Forces.....
I think this guy is a lying to me, and after this arthroscopy, he'll be deployed to his home once and for all.
I know for sure he's a Major, but I think he's a lying machine too, what do you think ?.

I have been working in the store for almost 2 years, longer then all the full time workers there. When I first started out I was only making $8.00 and at the time I was 16. I busted my *** for this lady, I always close, I always come in when someone calls out, I clean, I smile at the rotten lil puke kids, I was always on time. never called out, come in when I was SICK!

I was nice, and never started a fight. But last night I was going through the draw and found out how much money everyone else was making. I was making only $8.16 while the other part time worker(who just quit!) was making $10.00 ALSO one full timer is making $12.50 while another is making $13.00 AN HOUR!!!!

I can't believe it! I had to take up another job to make ends meet now that I live on my own and on top of that i'm a full time student. AND SHE KNOWS THIS!!!!! But has begged me to quit my other job so that I can come back and be treated like ****.

She has offered me $10.00 an hour now to be part time....

...ideological spectrum and have therefore made the adolescent attempt to compare it to American conservatism?

It’s comparable to a baby discovering that they have fingers but, you have to teach them that they shouldn’t shove them in their noses.

A kid was beaten by a group of other kids. The victim was the kid who got beaten up. The march should be for him. Not the perpetrators or the Bell kid who had four previous convictions for violent crimes. He is a repeat offender. He is a danger to society and should be removed from society. If you have never seen a group of people beat a single person, or never personally been that person, it's hard to understand what that is like, but people who gang up on someone and beat them unconcious are criminals and deserve to pay for the crime. Regardless of the fact that some other asshole kid hung a noose on a tree. If you want to punish that kid, go ahead, but it has nothing to do with the Jena six other than it's a scapegoat for the Bell kid.

Is this the main objective of the Democratic party? Do they plan to lower the living standards of Americans by raising those of the third world? Will they slash the military budget to the point that all the US military will be able to afford to do is have parades? Will there be a war on wealthy?

Isn't that the real issue? I know people point to some of the Ahmedinejad's ramblings, but remember, there are other people in that country who are powerful, he does not have unilateral control. Any threats to Israel is c*** waving, not a real serious threat.

Can an officer or department refuse to provide you with a copy of your breath test results from the machine with official time and date on it? I went to the department to try and get this while i was picking up my incident report. They gave the incident report but told me i would have to speak to the arresting officer for a copy of the breath test results. I called and he plainly told me that he would not give me a copy or let me see a copy until the court date, stated i had no right to it. My understanding was that i had a right to this info/document at request, a lawyer even told me i should have been provided a copy when i was realeased from the jail after being booked. Is this an issue, certainly seems to me i should have a right to this information. They also have an incorrect book in time logged at the station and I have cell phone records to prove that I used my phone well after the time they say i should have been booked in and in a cell. Whats everyones take on this?

Well, if people support abortion, shouldn't they be IN the clinics, helping to destroy the unborn in the name of "choice"?
What is the difference?

How Taxes Work . . .
This is a VERY simple way to understand the tax laws. Read on — it does make you think!!
Let's put tax cuts in terms everyone can understand. Suppose that every day, ten men go out for dinner. The bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:
The first four men — the poorest — would pay nothing; the fifth would pay $1, the sixth would pay $3, the seventh $7, the eighth $12, the ninth $18, and the tenth man — the richest — would pay $59.
That's what they decided to do. The ten men ate dinner in the restaurant every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement — until one day, the owner threw them a curve (in tax language a tax cut).
"Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily meal by $20." So now dinner for the ten only cost $80.00
