radical Muslims who piloted hijacked jetliners into New York's Twin Towers, who chop off the heads of individuals and who bomb innocent children in suicide attacks. O'Donnell made her comments as host of ABC's "The View."
Co-host Joy Behar protested that Christians are not trying to impose mass murder on America. "This group (radical Muslims) is threatening to kill us all."
O'Donnel Replied: "No, but we are bombing innocent people in other countries. True or false?"

What do you think?

All of us make many sacrifices in our lives. Most of these sacrifices involved the family. Many involved work and some among friends. Some of the sacrifices we make involved our community and country.

Where these are concerned, sometimes these sacrifices are made based on the motivation and encouragement initiated by our leaders such as our mayors or governers. Sometimes in the times of a need, our mayors or governers or senators will make speeches to rally our support. Sometimes after hearing them out some of us will feel the sacrifices are neccessary and thus we will feel it is only right for us to make these sacrifices.

The question I wanted to ask is, how many of you make sacrifices to your community or your country after hearing out what your leaders said? What are these sacrifices you have made? On the other hand, how many of you feel you never need to make sacrifices your governers or mayors have initiated? How many of you feel what your governers and mayors have said were just plain crap and these sacrifices are not neccessary?

Last but not least, how often do you make sacrifices to your commnity? Do you need to do it regularly? How do you feel living like that?

When it was first released, it cost 600 bucks.

The last time I checked the price came down to 340 dollars. Except there were no more copies at either Tower Records Website, or BMG recordings website, Even Ebay doesn't have any available. Did I wait too long, will there be another re-release?
Also WHo has the rights to the Beatles songs, didn't Paul Mcartney have the rights or did Michael Jackson snag the rights?

I've been running for the past 25 years. I consider myself an ultramarathoner having run across the Philippine Islands,1983;the USA from New York to Los Angeles City,1985;Europe from Barcelona,Spain to Rome,Italy,1992. I can say I've lived life.I'm ready to go or die anytime. I've just turned 51 and lately I've been asking myself what significant thing can I really do. 2 weeks ago I joined a 12-hour run in memory of Gabriel,a fund-raising project for many sick and disabled children in the Philippines, my home. During the run I felt Gabriel presence for a long time and sort of left a burning message in my heart. It dawn on me that I must run for a cause to bind Filipinos and raise awareness for greater unity and solidarity. The message is specially intended for the country's leaders who neglect the Filipino people to provide better future due to their culture of corruption. I'm firming up my plans to run 12 hours a day for as long as it takes. I'm set to die for this cause. Any advise?

I am a democrat from Massachusetts. Joe was a former Congressman (R) and now MSNBC journalist. He is the only person I listen and I agree from RNC point of view. So, watch him on MSNBC and tell him to run for President. I will vote for him. He is young, cool, funny, educated, and an honest politician and a superb commentrator. So, the question is would you vote for him as President? No, he hasn't paid me for this. I just thought people should know this nice guy and recognize him. More power to him.

America went to Irag because they needed the oil, they did not care about Sudan because there was nothing to gain, they are after Iran because there have prospects. Is this truly the way of pursuing world democracy?

The west always claim to help Africa, whilst all they do is bury Africa deeper and deeper so that it don't ever comer out no matter how hard it try

2006-09-13 23:05:22 · 18 answers · asked by realsmart3 1

Africa, they say is a land of promise, a land under rennaisance, a land of opportunities, a land of poverty, a land of diseases, a land where injustice is constitutional, a land where the people are considered as the happiest in the world, because they dance, party and jubilate in midst of terror, suffering oppression and injustice. It is also a land of hospitality, where the people love strangers and visitors more than themselves. (An African can give a visitor his supper and go to sleep on empty stomach), a land of abundant resources. What I do not understand is, amidst these bounties, why is Africa still scratching and scratching and never coming up with anything. (Is it that she has been condemned from creation, or that its people are truly monkeys? - brainwise, or what) Please... please... please somebody help my beloved Africa.

There are people who think homosexual acts are immoral, and there are people who don't think that they are. That's fine, people can disagree. But why does the debate have to become so hateful from both sides? Is it so hard to put yourself in the other person's shoes and try to examine their argument from their perspective? I can understand why someone might think that it is not immoral, but I disagree, that's all. It's like drug control. Some people think marijuana use should be illegal except in rare medical cases (using pills, not cigarette smoke), and some people simply don't think drug abuse is immoral. Some people think polygamy is immoral, and some people think that it is perfectly acceptable, because the people involved are all consenting adults. Others believe that just because something is voluntary that does not make it ethical or moral.

No matter where you stand, is it possible to debate the other side without using ad hominem attacks like "sinner" and "homophobe"?

Aside from voting (and campaign funds), what is the most effective way to communicate with Congress? Is it a written letter, an e-mail, a fax, a phone call, a personal visit, or something else?

And is it better to contact your own congresspeople even though they're not on a committee related to what you're concerned about?

Finally, is it a better idea to just send one letter (or e-mail or fax, etc.) or to "bombard" them with letters AND e-mails AND faxes, etc.? I would assume the latter, but I want to hear your opinion.
