I'm not sure myself, other similar countries with lower crime rates arm their police (france spain) but i doubt they're as well policed as the UK so they don't get investigated every time they raise their weapons. Also, is it needed with such good armed responce units who use better guns and are better trained. personally, i think its better to have these guys around to deal with the situation but are they're enough of them with increased gun crime. also, places where you might need a gun - airports, Buckingham palace, Mcdonalds tend to have armed officers. my american mates think its amazing our police don't carry guns but they also say they have more respect for british police because of it. obviously though america is even more dangerous than newcastle on a friday night so they need guns.

Is it possible to put our petty differences behind us, to truly focus on the big picture? The color of our skin does not create a threat. Why are we so wrapped up with racism in our country when we should be focusing on illegal immigration, and politics? White people-- Black people aren't taking your jobs. Black people-- Whites do not look down on you for your heritage. Illegals are taking our jobs and they are looking down on you for your heritage. We are all americans, that is our heritage, and illegals are coming over and exploiting the land we worked so hard to preserve. Turning on eachother is not going to regain the rights we deserve. Can we unite and form a strong, invincible union?

…Jesus in the past 2 months?

Please provide supporting scripture where the prophet of Christianity advocates this as well.


This is an opportunity for those of you who continuously insist that radical Christians are just as dangerous to prove it with facts and numbers.


Islamic Terror Attacks by Muslims in the name of Allah for the Past 2 Months:

Number of Countries in which attacks by Muslims in the name of Allah occurred: 23
Number killed by Muslims in the name of Allah: 2985
Number Injured by Muslims in the name of Allah: 4609

From AP:


In an interview with Beliefnet, a multi-denominational Web site that covers religion and spirituality, the White House hopeful was asked if a Muslim candidate could be a good president.

"I just have to say in all candor that since this nation was founded primarily on Christian principles ... personally, I prefer someone who I know who has a solid grounding in my faith," McCain said. "But that doesn't mean that I'm sure that someone who is Muslim would not make a good president."

Later, McCain said, "I would vote for a Muslim if he or she was the candidate best able to lead the country and defend our political values." He added that "the Constitution established the United States of America as a Christian nation."

This is really good news coming out of Iraq.

Please give our brave men and women in uniform defending us from the Islamofascists who want to cut our throats or convert us to Islam credit.

And even give Bush some credit.

So, here's the 1 million dollar question.

Will you give credit where credit is due?

You have 30 seconds to answer.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

I just saw this last night for the first time. He made absolutely no mention of what he might do when in office... he just took 30 seconds or so to bash Democrats.

I wonder how much money he spent on this thing... I could have just gone to Yahoo for that type of weak statement.

Did this ad really make any Dems say to themselves, "By golly... I have got to vote Republican this time around!" Or were there a lot of teeth grinding?

Does anyone know when Mitt's REAL ad is going to be on?

All military PDFs and documents I've found mention other NECs and their respective duties, but they mysteriously omit this one. I know that a quad-zero is a corpsman who has finished A-school and has not yet enrolled in a C-school. But what exactly does a quad-zero do in between A-school and C-school?

My wife is sending in a N-400 Application for Naturalization. We have been married for 6 years and have two children.

Our delima is this: Part 8 Section G. How many times has your current spouse been married (including annulled marriages)?

I was told that my previous marriage was annulled back in 1988 by my criminal wife (she when to jail). When asked if I have ever been married when applying for my current wife's financee visa back in 2001 I said I was never married as by law I was not via the annulment. *After* filing a finacee visa back in 2001 I searched and could not find my previous wife or any records of an annulment by her and thus proceeded to get a current annulment just to be safe. This anullment was granted by the judge and issued in Oct of 2001, two months after I filed her finacee petition. We then got married in December of 2001.

Will my wife have trouble now when she files her N-400 and it shows my annulment was 2 months after the fiancee petition date?

i have this lunatic in town that is out to get me but he is very smart, and knows the system. he yells at me in middle of busy streets, he calls my house in middle of the night, he threw a can of paint on my car, and twice in middle of the night he smashed the front window of my house. he always runs away before we can catch him, but sometimes he calls to threaten before he strikes. we have reported everything to the police but as he is smart he knows not to get caught or do anything too extreme. how can i stop this guy? i don't have the time and money to waste with the legal system, and anyways they will not be able to do to much based on the nature of the crimes. this guy does not have a car and lives in a apartment so it is hard to do something back without getting caught, (i don't want to be arrested )or even hire someone to do something because he will know that i hired him.
