Then why are so many beginning to support Mike Huckabee? Was he not the one who originally thought up the idea of the "Touchback" amnesty initiative? Remember ppl he's from Arkansas. I would be careful on this one.

We have made great strides towards eliminating racial tensions in today's society, however, we are still not free from prejudice and discrimination. What more needs to be done to ease these tensions or, perhaps, totally eliminate them?

or are we terrorizing? Personally, I think that if I was asked to shoot someone who was even POSSIBLY innocent, I would refuse no matter the cost to myself. (ofcourse I am a pacifist who could never shoot anyone) Not that I am judging these men for following orders. You do what you can, right?
Now....imagine this. That is your hometown. That old lady is YOUR grandma. That taxi driver, was your husband, or best friend, or brother, or son. Imagine that people carrying ak47's bust into your home, without warning, pointing their deadly weapons at you and yelling at you in a foreign language. You can't understand them, you have done nothing wrong, your country, you state, your city are being invaded by these people who seem intent on stealing your nations natural resources, and telling YOU who should be in charge of your gov't....
What would you think?

How often do we see this?
People who are comfortable with a mediocre white male, (no matter who, but must be white) and reason like this are NEVER going to vote for a Black or a woman.
Opinions?

This Washington Post story refuting the most recent NIE intelligence report on Iran's nuke program was written by John R. Bolton, member of the American Enterprise Institute. He has no credibility, and poses as a real journalist. The Washington Post is a neocon hackrag.

It seems so nobel of Bush to help Iraq reestablish their 1400 year old Shar'i law.

I ask becuase I keep seeing 'multicultralism' being looked at in a negative attitude (perhaps caused by the immigration problem?) as though it's a bad thing that should never happen.

So what exactly is the difference between integration and multicultralism? aren't they in theory the same thing? I mean the US, UK, and other Western nations are already pretty much integrated societies are they not?

So what's the difference? any help or information would be appreciated. Thanks :)

How long will the US continue be used by this nation? They chose to start a country at their present location and build illegal settlements in the Gaza Strip. Why should the US have to protect them from the consequences of their own choices?

It is only a small percentage of Israeli extremists that decided to build settlements and then cry for protection from the Palestinian extremists. I suggest allowing both sides of troublemaking extremists to kill each other so the moderates can get on with their lives. Meanwhile, the US should stop being manipulated by ALL nations (mainly Saudi and Israel). Your thoughts please.

I was in the dep program with the us army. While in the dep program I decided that joining the army right now was not right for me. I told my recruiter that I didn't want to join, but he told me that the only way out of the dep program was to signs my final contract, swore in BUT do not get on the plane. He told me that I wouldn't be awol but just consider a meps loss. The reasons I believe him, because I felt he was really trying to help me. I was too naive and believe him, I also felt he did this because he was switching his assignment to Germany a few day after i signed my contract, so he wouldn't get into trouble. I was supposed to shipped out on january 4, 2007. After a couple months I figure out what i want to do. I was going to join the national guard, get my associate degree, and try to get in the interservice physician assistant program. But when I try to get into the national guard I found out that I was Awol. Now my question who do i talk to to get help.

Answer the question. Don't go on an anti-Hillary tangent. I'm just curious to know that if being a woman automatically puts you at a disadvantage. Why wouldn't you want a woman to be president?

Don't write about Hillary Clinton!! This is a general societal question.

If your reason is "they should stay in the kitchen", wjhatever..that's a reason so post it. Trying to figure out the public's opinion on this.

Also they are harassing any good samaritan citizens; who attempt to help the homeless( stopping them from giving out warm clothing,food,etc...);because the citizens can't afford the over priced permits to do it! Is there any laws against this harassment & can an: class action lawsuit be filed against Nashville Police Dept. by all concerned?
