Politics & Government - 15 November 2007

The gentleman shown above, Coragryph, passed away a few days ago in Boston.
I felt some should know, as he was a standard some of us tried to copy.
His answers were always thoughtful and thought provoking. He will be missed.
I will post this each day for the next several days so all are informed.

Rest in Peace, C.

Its been reported that the local council tax is to increase to compensate for the influx of immigrants into the Uk, this needs to be increased to cover the costs on the health service because immigrants tend to go to the hospital instead of there local GP, The crime rate has increased, therefore more money has to be made available to the police, Councils have to accommadate the influx of immigrants thus they need to have increased budgets,
How do we benefit ? its now proven that they drain the economy, not add to it,
sexualy motivated crimes have increased by these people, intimadation and assaults have also increased, labour rates have been suppressed because these people work for salaries below the minimum wage.
They are even putting up road signs in Polish !! who is paying for them, the good old British worker,
I dont consider my self racist, honestly I dont !!! This is our country, the future is for our children, communities like we had many years ago have diminished

Ron Paul is the most opposed candidate to the war which will sit well with voters since most people dont want their family and friends or themselves going to war. Also he is against abortion something that alot of americans are turning away against but at the same time has some liberal ideas which can attract voters from the blue states. Whereas at the same time hillary is very liberal and probably wont win in the south and paul would easily take that or any republican for that matter. If Ron Paul/Huckabee ticket the key to beating hillary clinton or am I wrong and why?

I was pulled over by a state trooper earlier this week. He had me clocked at 91. I was speeding but no way was i going that fast. On the ticket it had that his Radar gun had been tested about a week earlier. Does anyone know how often the radar guns are SUPPOSED to be checked to be legally used. I dont believe his was working properly..

I say everyone who says the country is going to hell has personal issues and deserves to be worried for the rest of their days.

I'm going to be gone on vacation for 2weeks, and my boyfriend is going to stay in the apartment alone, I recently discovered that he was planning a getogether with two friends that he previously states he wouldn't hang out with because of the trouble they got him into, but I definately caught him at 5am talking to them about planning a party here. On top of that, these two guys absolutely hate me as I hate them. Is there anyway that I can ban them from entering my apartment, say they were to come when in my presence I know I would instantly kick them out and call the cops on them, but is there anyway to ban certain people from entering your house?

I believe the Israeli intellegence with the help of neo conservatives (new crazies) like Dick Chaney were behind it.

I'm not for Hillary but I wouldn't be against a woman as president. Isreal had a woman pres in the 60's or 70's and even Pakistan has had a woman president. What do you think?

What would a religion need to be legally recognised as a religion, with the practices and whatnot made legal as "rights to practice free religion"?
I mean like, scientology has been officially recognised as a religion, as has kabala... what is necessary for the US government to recognise it as a legal religion?

Chinese defense minister:
"Seen from the changes in the world situation and the United States' hegemonic strategy for creating monopolarity, war is inevitable," Mr. Chi told a military conference in early December.
"We cannot avoid it," he was quoted in the newspaper as saying. "The issue is that the Chinese armed forces must control the initiative in this war. . . . We must be prepared to fight for one yehttp://www.rense.com/politics6/warwithchina_p.htmar, two years, three years or even longer."
Ok, say they very well know that a war with the United States will not last long ..and it will not be favorable on their side. Reason why he said "they must control the initiative in the war."
This brings my question in. Have the chicoms started this war?
They send poisonous toys to the united states to kill our children. They send fake tires so we can have more accidents. Reason for this? Reduce their infant and adult at the same time so no one can join the millitary. Are we sleeping?

My father served with the Royal Engineers 1943 - 46 and should have received some medals concerning his service. What organisation deals with military records of servicemen during this period and where might I find what awards he should have received?
