Ralph Nader long ago suggested that the people most discriminated against in society are those who are the least attractive. Scientific studies have suggested that we all haev an innate bias towards more attractive individuals. "Those individuals who depart so significantly from the most commonly held notions of beauty that they incur employment discrimination are poorly treated in such diverse contexts as employment, criminal sentencing, and apartment renting. "

SHOULD WE TREAT ASPECTS OF APPEARENCE AS DISABILITIES THUS FORBIDDING DiSCRIMINATION. IF SO, WHAT CHARACTERISTICS AND HOW DO YOU DEFINE THEM?

What do you think about the illegals? What do you think should be done with illegals? What are the best solutions you think should be done about illegal immigration? I think that illegal immigrants come over here because their families are dying in their country, and in a situation like that they often can care less about their legal status. They don't come here for the fun of it; crappy jobs for crappy wages, constant prejudice and fear of the INS(immigration officials) are among the things they put up with."They're taking our jobs. I never knew how crazy people were for scrubbing toilets and picking strawberries." Meybe they are. It IS illegal, regardless of their (good) intentions. Deporting 11 MILLION people is unrealistic. I think the U.S and Mexico should work together to make a guest worker program, and an easier path to legalization to people who do want to live her and not just work here. What do you think?

repeating the same warning to and about IRAN, it is because this time Mr. Bush needs better "ammunition" than the ones he used against Iraq (I'm saying ammunition figuratively of course), and that he cannot risk it by having a WOMAN (Condoleeza Rice), do this. She is really the person most appropriate for this, for she is, just like Colin Powell was, the Secretary of State?

I know his political career seemed to have been completely destroyed after it was all discovered to be untrue_the weapons of mass destruction, I mean_and for which he had been the constant voice of impending doom.

So Mr. Bush doesn't think she can do a better job then Gates, or is he just trying to save her from the same fate Powell suffered?

They're discussed quite a bit but do they exist? I understand if the gov't wouldn't talk about it even if they did have them, but have there ever been any reports of them being used? Anyone build a portable version?

I told my son, just a few minutes ago, I'm going to make a Republican out of you whether you like it or not (teasing him), and he said back to me, "well, why would I want to be a Democrat, I mean Liberal, anyway? I want to be an American! A Republican!"

Yes, he said this LOUDLY, and assuredly! Why do you think he said that?

I am off work at the moment as I have been into hospital to get some cosmetic surgery done, and it has just been brought to my attention that one of my bosses at work has disclosed this to other members of staff. Has he broken any laws here? I feel that this was my decision who I told and now that all the other staff members know. (54 in total). If I had gone into hospital to have an abortion, I feel that this would have happened also. What is my next step?

I think the former is the case. He always had his sights on Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran and presented his agencies the task of finding intel that would back up his agenda.

At 8 yrs old, I knew we must love our country after I read a story of a boy refused to accept money form people who talk bad about his country.

I have orang Asli, Malays and Non-Malays good friends.

At 10 yrs old I was ashamed after found out from Newspaper only the Malays are Bumiputra Malaysia.

Bumi - Earth, Putra - Prince (Prince born on Malaysia). The Non-Malays are what on Malaysia.

Later I saw many disappointed Non-Malays left the country. They are intelligent and work hard but no chance to acheive what is desire.

I got A in SPM HIstory, Parameswara was Hindu, Muzaffar Shah & Mansur Shah were islam. One of the queen is Chinese.

Lately, the leader words on newspaper was the non-Malays must refer to the history or contract sign. The Non-malays must accept that the Malays have the special rights. If we want to have a fair system? next life?

Well! I finally understand why many Non- Malays left Malaysia.

And also "Supremo"!
Who the Frig do they think they are?
I was in the Local Counci the other day and I got talking to one of them.
I suggested that he address me as "Herr Obergruppenfuhrer SS". He didn't seem to fancy the idea (!)
I also gave my address as "Vincent, Standartennfuhrer SS"
But that didn't go down too well.
They're a bunch of humourless drones,aren't they?

Personally I say no. The government controlls the political progress and has for the last 25 years, and has allowed the reformers to make just enough progress to content them and then take that back and start the process over again and a multitude of other reasons. What say you?

How many times do you people have to be lied to before you realize that George W. Bush and Fox News is untrustworthy?

Perhaps in November 2008, you will finally get the message.
