choose to attack the award instead of feeling proud. Doesn't this but many other similar situations show THEY are the ones who put ideology before patriotism always?

Dr King's message is very clear- forgiveness, bring people together, tolerance and healing wounds. Dr King's message is God's message. The reason why we have a national holiday honoring Dr King's message is because it's the right path.

The wrong path is racism, not treating others with the same respect and dignity, you expect to receive yourself.

When a black leader promotes Dr King's message, he is villified and either destroyed by the lliberal media or ignored. Look what happened to Bill Cosby when he opposed the race baiters and exploiters of minorities- Jackson and Sharpton.

Liberals base their cause on opposing racism, yet they support Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton and others who exploit the victims of racial conflict, for their personal gain of political power and money.

I guess my real question is whether there is any integrity in liberals to denounce these false leaders and BEGIN promoting Dr King's message?

pundits are now saying that this will hurt relations with the vital ally Turkey.

does this mean that the 1915 genocide should not be condemned for political gain and expedience?

perhaps if Germany complained about the bad image the holocaust has given them we should rescind our condemnation of it?

how can you justify NOT condemning acts of genocide and mass murder, just for political ends?

If you are WEALTHY like Hillary you are fine.

If you have an income of $250 - $500 K you are not a millionaire but YOU depend on your INCOME to get ahead and live the American Dream. She and the other WEALTHY Democrats will take your money to buy votes from the poor and they will CREATE two classes and the American Dream will be shattered.

I signed up with Ballys when I started my job over a year ago. I only signed up because it was close to my office. I have since left that job and want to cancel my membership but they will not let me because there is a Ballys near my house. A very gross Ballys in a not so great part of the city. I have explained to them that I did not sign up at that location for those very reasons but they don't care. I haven't even been to the gym in months, basically I'm wasting my money. Is there a solution?

This is a proud day for all of us. An American citizen was given the highest honor for an issue of the greatest importance. Al Gore has never stopped working toward a solution for global warming, and now the world recognizes him for his tenacity and his activism.

A doctor's decision should not be linked to their profits.
Cartoon example:
A patient overhears a doctors conversation in the waiting room.
The doctor says: "Go ahead "deary" buy that fur coat, we will manage somehow"
A one cent gasoline tax should handle the cost easily.

My mom, fiance and I were talking about how people were protesting and she said it reminded her of the way that people protested before WWII. I said, Oh, you mean Vietnam, not the WWII right? And she said, No, well then too, but she told me that there were people protesting fighting Hitler or helping the Jews and Europe during WWII, and that a lot of the people doing it now sounded like they did back then. My mom is 81.

I had no known there was much protest before WWII, so this was interesting...
Any one you know more about this?

Oh... But I forgot the best part... Poor Al has to SHARE it with the U.N. Global Climate Change panel!

I'm surprised. Since when is the prize awarded for PHONY science (And Al Gore's "documentary" is chock full of it. Just talk to any real climatologist) to hypocritical politicians who preach about global warming while at the same time using twenty times the amount of energy as the average American and flying around in his private jet?!

Oh, and for those of you who defend him as living a "carbon neutral lifestyle". GET OVER IT! The guy buys "carbon offsets" from a company HE helped found, and buying them does NOT change his total energy consumption or "carbon emissions".

Then again... Considering who the prize as given to in the past (Yasser Arafat and Jimmy Carter), it's become clear that it's now little more than a political joke. Next thing you know, the prize will go to... Hm.. Amadinejad? OR maybe Osama Bin Laden himself?!

Does this strike anyone else as funny?

Is the UK heading for economic meltdown, due to 10 years of
Labour Government, and their tax and waste policies and generousity to immigrants? It seems to me that the UK is built on the back of MEW (mortgage equity withdrawl), and not a booming economy. We are a nation of service industry and very little manufacturing, as the public want cheap goods, so the majority of manufacturing is done in China, Vietnam, India, Eastern Europe etc., using cheaper labour. The Govt have introduced 100 stealth taxes through the back door which affect hard working tax paying citizens, and little by little, the government take more and more money from tax payers. Where has all the Govt's money gone? And all the people paying into a system designed for us, yet fails us when we need it, people taking out of the pot who have not paid into it and our benefits system being a magnet to immigrants. If we offered no benefits, would they come? Many people are living on credit and beyond their means to exist

With the recent findings of high amounts of lead in toys, I have to think that the Chinese know what they are doing. Does anyone on yahoo think the same as I do? I believe the Chinese are secretly contaminating toys and products to kill and weaken the American society. Think about it. They send all these toys to America with high amounts of lead. For decades our youth play with these toys and over time this leads to neurological disorders and birth defects. Many believe there is a link between Autism and Lead. So instead of going to war with us, using bombs and bullets. They are poisioning our society with lead. And I believe this has been going on for decades.

Please share your thoughts.

For 400,000 years the ppm for C02 was ruffly 200 - 275 ppm with seasonal fluctuations.....before the industrial revolution of course. Now we're up to 445 ppm in within just 200 years since the start of the industrial revolution.......so how can anyone argue that this is natural ? If it was natural, wouldn't it have had to occur naturally at least once before ?
