Other - Politics & Government - July 2006

What is the real difference between war and terrorism besides that a war has been sanctioned by the politicians of a particular government? Which kills more babies, mothers, fathers and grandparents? Don't both demonize their enemies? Don't Christians, Moslems and Jews all claim to honor the God who gave the aten commandments? Isn't one of the ten commandments"Thou shall not kill"? Are there exceptions for people you don't like or that your leader says are dangerous? If you kill someone for killing, doesn't that make you a killer? Why isn't it considered blesphamy to kill in God's name?

Don't mean to rant, I'd really like to know what you think about this.

#2 Al Queda man Al Zawahiri just put out a tape in an effort to rally Muslim extremists (even though the factions hate eachother) to join together to take all land from "Spain to Iraq". Gee....I thought if Israel just gave them a wee bit of land for a Palestinian state, they'd be happy.
If you think they only want Palestine, you better wake up. If you think they'd stop at Spain, well..

Current Katrina death toll in Louisiana (see paragraph two): 579 (approximately)
LINK: http://www.csmonitor.com/2005/0919/p01s02-ussc.html

Death toll from European heat wave in 2003: 35,000 ("In France alone, 14,802 people died from the searing temperatures...")
LINK:http://www.earth-policy.org/Updates/Update29.htm

Could somebody please explain to me why we listen to Europe about anything having to do with good government, humane treatement of our citizens, or callousness towards human life?

I left my hose running and the whole hillside slid down. Took most of the pool and out-door bbq with it. Thank God the maids house was left intact. I know it was my fault, living on a slide prone hillside and all, but what do think my chances with FEMA are? Do you you think they will put me up on a cruise ship? I could not live in one of those trailers. They still have money to throw my, right?

If you could choose ANYONE that has served as President of the United States to have a beer with, who would it be? Could be anyone from Washington to Bush.

This is based on a serious argument that two people were having in my politics class last semester and don't tell me appearance does not matter because we all know it does.

He smoked and drank a lot, was rude to his staff and did a bit of radio. Anyone could have done that, and is hardly an example of an inspiring leader.

The great many numbers of men and women of the UK and its allies helped win the war through every effort of their own, not through Mr Churchill.

I thought the guy was a pacifist. He opposes the War in Iraq, yet he seems to promote the war Israeli is waging and doesn't care about the now 600+ civilians killed during the conflict. But aside from that, the guy called the Iraqi premier an Anti-Semite for his opposition to Israeli's campaign!!!! Let's get things straight: anyone who opposes Israel as a State is an ANTI-ZIONIST. Being an anti-semite is to be RACIALLY against the Jews and Arabs (since both are ethnically and linguistically semitic).That's funny: an Arab, who is semitic, being anti-semitic; that's equivalent to being against yourself. Let us cease wrongfully equating Jews to Israel. One is a People, the other a State.

Soft headed libs do you see the hypocrisy? If another person's ideas offend your politically correct sensiblities you seek to censor it. Simultaneously you accuse our President of limiting liberties.

Libs you consider yourselves open minded only when the issues are within your tiny little world view all other ideas are invalid.

believe me the real victims are americans who work hard to stop anything make them be hated by the people around the world.
we have to consider the government on side 'n' the americans on other side.

In case you don't know, St. Louis recently had some major storms which caused a massive power outage. So massive, that after a week, many houses are still out of power. Your friend, Al Sharpton, made a trip to St. Louis, and made a protest to the Federal Government asking the Government to provide food for people who's food had gone bad because of the power outage (he claimed White people had power, while Blacks were being segregted).

My question is this: how stupid are you people? If you have food in the fridge/freezer that could go bad, why didn't you do something about it? Cook it, go to a friends house who had power, put on ice in a cooler, do something other than protest!

Why should the Government waste tax payers money on your stupid negligence?

My guess is Democrats and other Liberals are too stupid to figure that they have just as much capability to solve their own problems instead of asking someone else to do it. What say you?
