Why not all other forms of torture, too?
Why not assassinations?
Why not taking hostages?
Why not summary executions?
We already lock people away in secret prisons without due process. Why not simply abandon all artificial notions of so called morality and just go for it?

Why put any limits on ourselves whatsoever if George Bush thinks, in his wisdom, that something might somehow help in prosecuting the war on terror?

Why let an insignificant thing like "morality" concern us? Where do we draw the line or should we even bother to draw a new one?

Is lying about torture as bad as lying about oral sex with an intern?

If a stranger delivering an eviction notice got stranded at my home, and he was annoying and mean (not to mention he was there to throw me out of my home), would it be illegal to not help him? Let him stay out in the freezing cold in his car stranded, or maybe let him stay in the barn? Even if he seemed like a safe person, wouldn’t it seem risky to let him stay in my home with my children and I? Would I be held accountable if he froze to death in his car?

By British- I apply my definition of British as Anglo-Celtic Christians with proven residence prior to 1910.

I aim to economically handicap horrid immigrant groups who self-fund, via boycott of their goods and services.

By purchasing only British- most especially small & medium businesses, we, the conscientious consumer may just enable the British Islander to survive the EU- Nu Labour cultural genocide.

As a fledgling Christian, Obama didn't join just any church. He joined the United Church of Christ.

The United Church of Christ is very anti-Israel and supports divestment. It also sponsors speeches at its many functions by the Arab "Christian" pro-terror religious organization, Sabeel. Sabeel holds some of its biggest meetings in Chicago., (www.scoop.,co,nz/stories/HL0510/500139.htm).

You have only two parties, if both of these parties agree on something which majority may not agree youhave no choice. Both of these parties have to get fund from major corporates. Mostly same companies provide funds to both of the candidates. It is impossible for a person to win election without raising the funds. So, is this really possible to make a political decision which is against the interest of multinationals and in support of common man.

my husband got in a car accident when someone ran a stop sign the other person is at fault we have a police report stating the other person is at fault. If our car is a write off and the fair market value is less than what we still owe on it can we take the person at fault to small claims court to pay the difference?

Currently, Obama is an apostate as far as Islam is concerned. This is a fact and not a conspiracy theory. They say all babies are born Muslim but then parents of infidel religions brainwash the baby Muslims into other lesser faiths. That is a fact.

What must be done with an apostate of the Muslim faith? Give him a chance to convert back to Islam.

Two or three people now have told me it's the law to fit a fireguard, as we have a one year old and another on the way. We've not yet lit the fire, but have taught our son to keep away from it anyway. Would I be breaking the law to light it without a guard? Obviously I am aware of the need to supervise etc, and that fireguards aren't there to be relied upon, and am not being neglectful, I just want to know if there actually is a law relating to this... Thanks.

At first glance, the opportunity to transmit information efficiently, would seem to enhance the voting public's ability to select their leaders. We have quickly have information and at a depth unavailable in the past. Therefore with better information, we have the opportunity for better choices.

Or is it counterintuitive? Does so much information confuse us and cause us to be less capable? Does it give us greater independence of thought or perhaps push us more to a
hive mentality that allows us to be more easily mislead? Does the vast quantity of information itself distract us? Are we so bombarded with details that we focus on the fluid surface issues that only have the illusion of depth?

I have nothing against them aside from their presence in my nation, their shabby and insulting grasp of my beautiful mother-tongue and the fact that they have been a well-proven nett negative demographic.

Therefore, without retorting to base and childish name-calling- I simply refuse to finance them by directing my money to British Islander only business.
If it is unavailable- I'll happily do without- I dislike Indian and Chinese food- it's very unhealthy and often prepared from very substandard raw ingredients- not to mention unhygienic kitchens (in Australia- a string of Indian and Chinese restos were found t have rat droppings in food just a example).

Is it also wrong I minimise my tax in extreme to not fund their NHS health rorts?
I am a native British who is not a legal resident for tax purposes- more than pleased to teach whomever wishes to learn to hide their hard-earned.

This is one aspect I'd like to touch upon with a paper I'm writing, but I'm having trouble finding good information online that details the bureaucracy as the fourth branch. Yes, I know the basics as to why it would be, but I'm searching for a more in depth exploration of this.

I would be greatful if users could provide their own opinions as to why it is or is not the unelected fourth branch and could also provide me with links to further legitimate information.

Thanks!
