Politics & Government - 1 December 2007

IT shouldn't be that any religion is the national religion especially in such a diverse country as canada. but yet for a school field trip my sons class is going to learn about a historical victorian christmas. I don't appreciate the PUBLIC school system being an avenue to stuff religion down my sons throat!!!! IF I wanted him to learn his religion in school i would have put him in a catholic school.
Does anyone else feel that his has no place in our schools which are supposed to be an eduactional platform TOLERANT of all ethnics and creeds and children with various religious backgrounds. My point made. Any comments?

I get a kick out all of the Judeo-Christian platforming by conservatives and Republicans, for the most part, and how they think think this is something God wants?

Can they really believe God endorses war and killing?
Can anyone really truly believe that God told Bush to invade any other country?

If there is a hell like Christians believe, it sure is going to be full there!

The Sudanese anger is not totally due to naming a teddy bear Muhammed. Prophet Muhammed himself never said not to name anything after him.He wouldn’t care.
But those gestures of disrespect and degradation of the muslims’most respected religious symbol serve as reminders to muslims of the ongoing campaign against their religion and culture,it just adds up to :

1. Early Christian Crusades
2. Colonization

And in modern history,

3. the Wstern conspiracy with the Jews to carve out a country for the latter by slaughtering the whole muslim nation of Palestine for the last 60 years against the UN resolutions and voices of freedom all around the world.

So,it is not totally due to the Teddy Bear.

That teacher is an idiot,British people have been dispatched to spread the English language in muslim countries for years. They have a tradition of what to expect,how to respect other people's religions and habits.
Besides,she must have heard of the riot following the cartoons.She was supposed to be a good example of respect for her students.

All countries have laws that are expected to obey.Let us say,she speeds in her country-Britain and a cop chased her and fined her or sent her to jail,wouldnt it be ok or would her prime minister and people like you interneve to condemn the cop ?

Britain also has defamation laws where individuals and businesses are fined and sent to jail with no fuss,but defaming the most noble teacher of more than 1 billion people is fine with you.

Or how about this Iraqi women,why I dont see you defending them ?

Enough double standards !

Try to think about the thousands of innocent mulsims thrown in Guantanamo for no crime other than they happened to hold muslim names like mohamed in some of airports in the land of freedom,tolerance and loving god.

Romney has been ridiculing all the rivals that threaten him for the nomination. Since he thinks political attacks are fair game, why aren't they calling him out for his anti-freedom, anti-individual-rights stance of forcing people in his state to buy health insurance? Isn't that anti-American and anti-capitalism? In this county isn't our freedom to make choices about out own well-being the most important principle of our founders? Why has he escaped from this criticism?

Some people have bashed Walmart, and every other thing you can think of for hiring illegals except for......

The Heinz Corporation that probably has hundreds if not thousands of illegals picking produce for them in fields all over this company. Making John Kerry a very wealthy person.

Is this a double standard? or honest mistake?

many judges must decide a case on the "spirit" of the law -

Some clever defendants may find an obscure loophole to free a guilty offender - but at times it's the "spirit" and intention of a law which is obvious -

Does turning one's back on the Constitution violate the "spirit of the law"?

I was terminated for the allegation of an inmate providing technical assistance on a state computer. In reality the inmates had been allowed to use a free standing computer for years to input culinary and inmate property info. We copied the programs and put them into the staff computers. None of the staff members knew how to use the property program. I was the property officer for 3 months before I knew of the property program. I wanted to use it and thought it would be a great aid for property. The inmate showed me how to use the program. That is what I was terminated for. The regulation reads: An inmate shall not be called upon under any cicumstance to provide technical assistance or otherwise assist staff with the resolution or attempted resolution of any computer problems, computer system problems.
The problem I am having is that the computer was not broken. nothing technical happened, we were in transition from inmate to officer use. No training provided for this program.

He thought he should be allowed to build a multi-million pound property development (and incidental golf course) on evironmentally sensitive land in Aberdeen - all because his mother came from Stornaway, Mr Trump said: "I really wanted this to be built in Scotland because of my family connection. My mother was Mary MacLeod. She was seriously Scotch." and because he has lots of money to throw at objections.

The Aberdonians have told him to get lost. One man refused to sell Trump his land, which was situated in the midddle of the proposed development, despite being offered millions to do it and a million pound a year job on working on the development. He responded by offering Trump a job for him, cleaning toilets.

Is the Aberdonians unimpressed and resistant attitude the backbone of Scottish pride? Or is refusing to embrace corporate America a bad thing for the future of Scotland?
The American ambassador said last year that Scotland becoming independent would be bad for America.

I mean, if you make 6 figures or more a year... yeah... you might have reason to worry if a Democrat gets in office...

But normal people... who are all BELOW the actual middle class....

Do you really think we can take another Bush?

And if your argument is that the new Repubs will be better - compare their policies and campaign messages to Bush's... they are the same, right?

So, I really want to hear the reasoning from a real Republican... not someone who is going to shriek about the "end of days" if Hillary gets elected.

I was named in a civil lawsuit in Kentucky. I no longer live there and live in another state. Of course they have been trying to locate me and serve me for 6 months, today at my home address of my parents they get a certified mail from the Sec. of State of Kentucky and its a summons. Is this legal service or do they physically have to serve me the summons? I have never heard of being legally served via USPS...

Thanks

Bush Swartznager and about 1/2 the Republican Governers want a Law to force every American to buy Insurance.

So how is it all of a sudden this plan concieved by New Haven Bankers (that's passive voice for Skull&Bones) Is Hillary's plan.

Give Credit where Credit is due it's Bush's Plan
