Other - Politics & Government - July 2006

"Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not
started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September
11,
2001?

Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally
murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our
nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania?

Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible,
burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?

And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated"
when
an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?
Well, I don't. I don't care at all.

I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents
for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start
caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime
in
Saudi Arabia.

I'll care when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi tells the world he is sorry for
hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling
slashed throat.

I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq come out
and
fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding
in
mosques.

I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search
of
nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their
suicide
bombs.

I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First
Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead
of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.


In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up
an
Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.

When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have
been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest
assured that I don't care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told
not
to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the
bank
that I don't care.

When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat,
and fed "special" food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is
complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled," you can
absolutely
believe in your heart of hearts that I don't care.

And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled "Koran"
and
other times "Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and ---- you guessed it -
-
- I don't care ! ! ! ! !

The SETI Institute (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to scientific research, education and public outreach.
How do we know they haven't found anything yet? Do you think the government would supress that information like they have been suspected of doing with UFO's?

Listen all democrats are not liberals I just want to make that point. Okay, here is the deal I had a couple co-workers that were democrats but liberal not like I and called me a retard and moron for voting for Bush and supporting a couple of agendas. So, I gave up and had a bumper sticker put on my car saying "Being Liberal is a mental disorder" Well, they got all hot and starting cursing and even had my car keyed. The deal is what happen to my freedom of speech and secondly I thought you all were peace and harmony love not anger and war??? Next deal most liberal are anti walmart big business but yet would have elected John Kerry who's wife is part of a "big corporation" ??? Then we have George Soros who became a US citizen made billions wants the inheritence tax to stay but, yet has millions vested outside the US to bypass this tax. I've seen him as a key note speaker this guy hates america I'm proud of my country check out transcripts online I was told they'll post them up.+

"The Simpsons go to England"... Please watch the episode via the link I have provided. I would like to know what people thought of this episode. It displayes American and British stereotypes in a rather humorous manner. Though many of the stereotypes are largely exagerated, some still ring true...Take a look at it....have a laugh...and tell me how it made you feel...were you offended?..was the show acurate?...do you care?...anyway...please list your country of origin...
P.S....I find it amazing that the Simpsons were able to get PM Tony Blair to do a voice over...

a globe with a great circle indicator is a big bonus in keeping clear about world politics and conflicts,

nasa world wind and google earth are helpful but are still 2D and do not give a clear idea of the directions and distances involved

Why, if the U.S. is so terrible, do they not carry out their threat and actually leave? Just wondering?

What would happen then?

I always hear Republicans complaining about them... but then there would be a severe shortage of jobs for them... and there would also be a severe shorage of people to do basic tasks like trash collection...

The truth is... if everyone was able to do as you Republicans constantly cry about... it wouldn't work... the economy feeds on these people and then you constanly insult the very people that do all the actual physical labor...

You're basically crying about and insulting your meal tickets.. typical...
