im not racist or anti anything, shame, cant be said of more people out there..if this offends you then you should take note and read it properly.


Question: What do you think of this ????

Details of Violation: Dear All, Did you hear this one. I've added a link to www.snopes.com This site is devoted to discussing and verifying these emails, and establishing the origin or the story. Works well with alot of the porpaganda emails wanting you to sign partitions etc. Anywho, about time Aussies. Natty x Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks. A day after a group of mainstream Muslim leaders pledged loyalty to Australia at a special meeting with Prime Minister John Howard, he and his ministers made it clear that extremists would face a crackdown. Treasurer Peter Costello, seen as heir apparent to Howard, hinted that some radical clerics could be asked to leave the country if they did not accept that Australia was a secular state and its laws were made by Parliament. "If those are not your values, if you want a country which has Sharia law or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you," he said on national television. "I'd be saying to clerics who are teaching that there are two laws governing people in Australia, one the Australian law and another the Islamic law, that is false. If you can't agree with parliamentary law, independent courts, democracy, and would prefer Sharia law and have the opportunity to go to another country, which practices it, perhaps, then, that's a better option," Costello said. Asked whether he meant radical clerics would be forced to leave, he said those with dual citizenship could possibly be asked to move to the other country. Education Minister Brendan Nelson later told reporters that Muslims who did not want to accept local values should "clear off". "Basically, people who don't want to be Australians, and they don't want to live by Australian values and understand them, well then they can basically clear off," he said. Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Britain ..... ARE YOU LISTENING? Quote: IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take it or leave it, I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians. However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the "politically correct" crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others. I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Australia. However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. This idea of Australia being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Australians, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom. We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language! Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push but a fact because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture. We will accept your beliefs and will not question why, all we ask is that you accept ours and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us. If the Southern Cross offends you, or you don't like "A Fair Go", then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. By all means keep your culture but do not force it on others. This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, "THE RIGHT TO LEAVE". If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted. Pretty easy really; when you think about it. PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE, PERHAPS WE CAN CREATE A GROUND SWELL AND SEND OUR UK POLITICIANS THE MESSAGE THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF US BELIEVE AS THE AUSSIES DO.........

if not, why? how can one group of people claim rights for themselves that they seek to deny to others. If the constitution does not insure equality for all under the law what good is it? Are some people more equal than others?

I ask this because although many people have lost sight of this, and now many consider this to be a "Christian Nation", the fact is that the first 6 presidents (founding fathers) were NOT Christian. As a matter of fact, George Washington made a point of stating that is country is not founded on Christianity. The first settlers came here in part to escape the forced Catholicism of England. The first 6 presidents were actually "diests". They did not believe in the Bible, but rather believed that there was once a diety who created the Earth, put everything on it that man could possibly need, and then the Diety disappeared to leave mankind to use their brains and figure out how to put things to use to live and survive, etc...

Anyway, just a little background for the basis of my question. The origin of the law that was written forcing a witness to "swear under oath to tell the truth, the whole truth......" came directly from the Bible. One of the 10 commandments says something like

Okay, the US government is systematically torturing the people caught in its world wide net against terrorism. But, if that's so how come there hasn't been any actual useful information extracted from them?
All terrorist plots so far have been uncovered without using information gained from torture. So, what does one gain from torturing terrorists?

If you are going to refute, use evidence to back up your claim.

100,000 unexploded cluster bomblets were dropped on Lebanon just before the ceasefire. These were not military tragets.
It this a reasonable proportional response to two soldiers being kidnapped ?
Is it right that the US made and paid for them?
Do people in the US feel any shame? should the US manufaturers or government pay to clear them up?

I wouldn't need to ask 40,000+ people in a stadium to take a picture of the stadium, would I? People appear in pictures all the time without permission, whether it be in the background or wherever. At what point does permission become legally necessary?

Agrobiz has developed and is developing seeds that crop only once. International patents, treaties and agreements are being pushed through to outlaw seed saving by farmers.

This could potentially mean that a few companies could hold the world to ransom to maximise profits.

This seems to be morally wrong, but the genie sems to have been let out of the bottle.

I am going through a rather crazy divorce/custody battle in the state of Texas. My soon to be ex-husband said that he has recorded our phone conversations without me knowing, and he let me know that he was planning on using it in court. I'm not worried about it, I haven't talked to him on the phone since I had to put a protective order on him for harrasment. There is no conversation to be recorded. I was just wondering if it was legal to do this, because I know in Oklahoma, where I live, it isn't legal.

It never fails that when a Far Left Wing ACLU Adoring Liberal Democrat is confronted with a legitimate question they almost ALWAYS respond with, "personal character attacks", "name-calling"; they cite past wrong behavior by Republicans to justify equally wrong or worse behavior by Liberal Democrats?

Why?

Why are Far Left Wing ACLU Adoring Liberal Democrats complete and utter Partisan IDEOLOGS and think only in those terms, refusing to work together with "whatever group or individual"
is in power for the greater good of America?

Why is ALL their anger directed at George Bush instead of the common enemy that faces us all, Islamic Terror?

Why are Far Left Wing Liberal Democrats perceived as having NO different or better policy re: National Security or the War on Terror or the future of Irac except to Bash Bush 24-7 to the point where they never mention the beheadings and other atrocities occuring but are constantly all ablaze about ther Rights of terrorists being held by us!

My girlfriend and I are currently 17 and she is pregnant. Ill be 18 in a couple weeks, about 3 months before the baby is born but she will not be 18 till late April of 2007. I was wandering if anyone knew what rights I have over the baby. Her parents often will say something about her being a minor and how they have the power to make all the decisions. I thought possibly since I am not going to be a minor when the baby is born that I may have some rights over the baby and some decision making power. Often I dont agree with things they say about what is going to happen and sometimes they make threats that I cant do anything. I reside in New Hampshire and Im not quite sure how the laws work here. Thanks to everyone who replies sincerley trying to help.

It would be so much more beneficial to the country at large if undeclared money was used to generate wealth for the nation. The setting up of industry, creating employment instead of paying vast sums as bribe to IT officers to reduce the tax structure or even maintaining a useless Income Tax Dept.
