Or are the principles of Islam antithetical to democracy and the general freedoms that go with it.

Should they just do the maximum 10 years or do you think they should do life. Me personnally i think that anyone no matter what age you are, if you intend to kill someone and know that what you are doing is wrong, i think that person should be in jail for life for sure! I am seeing alot more youth killings recently; where i live and all over canada, and the world and i think something needs to be done. I think youths do these for many reasons, gang initiation, gang relations ..tempers..etc. and they know they can get away with it...meaning they are only in jail for max youth sentence which is like 10 years. I think that is most ridiculous thing in my opinion.

Iraq in 2003: Iraq failed to allow UN inspections. We thought they had WMDs. Saddam was a bad dude.

Iran today: we think Iran might be trying to build WMDs. Iran might be helping our enemies in Iraq.

Which is the better case for a war?

Newt's Coup repeatedly blocked the use of Cruise Missiles against AlQaeda.

Did the Contract with America simply lack the foresight to realize AlQaeda was a terrorist organization.

Ok embarrasing though it is, this is really getting to me. About a year ago I was arrested. My boyfriend has had a few problems with the law. Our house was raided by the police. They found a stolen vehicle in the back yard. They asked me where it came from? I didnt know. I was arrested and released on bail for the vehicle theft. The DA's office did not persue the charges, in fact they are charging my boyfriend with it now. I am required to be fingerprinted for a new jopb that I have worked very hard to get. I was wondering if anyone knew if I was never offically Arrained or charged if this will still show up?

I'd pull our troops out of Afganistan (Cdn) and tell them the truth - when we have a perfect nation here we will help you


I would move away from trade with the US and impose heavy tarrif's and taxes on incoming US goods while trying to re- establish the special relationships we had with Commonwealth partners

I would allow abortion on demand as it is now - but remove all government funding for it - right now it is funded 100 %

I would go back to the death penalty for cases of overwhelming guilt such as Paul Bernardo -

I would halt all imigration from non Commonwealth nations - we need a similar culture here and those with British ties and culture fit in much easier

Finnally I would make property tax ilegal as it is rent from the government in reality making ownership impossible

I gave an interview recently which went well - not 100% to my satisfaction but was in general good. After sending a Thankyou note to the pannel, I got reply from the hiring manager (who was in the pannel) to meet with me for lunch?

Any idea what he is up to? what he will be talking about?

I'm voting for him/her. As a Texan, I am so sick of it. I am tolerant, I am sympathetic, to those that truly need assistance. But these millions of illegals and thier anchor babies are really draining this state and the country. We could afford so much more if this problem didn't exist. Which candidate has the balls to confront this huge problem? I heard Ron Paul, is that true?

I'm thinking a carrier Republican posing as a Democrat would make the best pro-war president.

Like The Clintons.

Doesn't anybody have the right to start a radio talk show with whatever political views they want to cover? Would a fairness doctrine force the starting of 3 major conservative TV networks to counter ABC, NBC, and CBS?

Here is what he said:

John Coleman wrote an article published at ICECAP Wednesday that should certainly garner attention from press members -- assuming journalism hasn't been completely replaced by propagandist activism, that is.

It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create in [sic] allusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the "research" to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.

The scam is over, the people are not idiots falling for big political names and Government paid scientists creating a tax base out of thin air for themselves and partners.

I've seen the polls putting a Hilary vs. Rudy general election at a dead heat. I haven't seen any comments on how a democrat could win the election without winning NY state. I can't imagine Rudy losing NY, so what states/electoral votes could Hilary turn from red to blue to win the election?

For any North Americans out there, do you feel that we have forgotten how to fight for freedom or political change in our own countries?
Is it possible that living in relative peace and luxury for so long has made us complacent? Any solutions?
