If someone could give me an explanation from both sides, French-Middle Eastern and anti-French American, that would be awesome.

Also, please no ranting and no assuming of my position on this. I honestly don't have a strong (or any) opinion.

An ideology that says, "If you don't believe exactly as I do then it gives me the right to kill you". How do you overcome and change such ideas of hate?

A co-worker of mine, recently received a summons for reporting to jury duty. I was surprised, but, I'm glad it was her and not me because I have no time or desire to deal with such B.S.

What is the advantage of being summoned for jury duty, anyways? And what will happen if someone does not, or refuses, to answer the summons? I hope that I never receive a summons because I better things to deal with other than any kind of government issues.

POLICY?

Insults have gotten so bad that I can't answer just ONE question without seeing in other answers things like, "you are stupid.' And it goes both ways... democrats or republicans.

I am serious. I have been answering question for only about 15 minutes today and have already had to report 5 ppl. And then when I think I have found a serious question, what do I see, insulting answers to some guy's very serious question.

It is quite pathetic and is going to run off intelligent, descent ppl who want to participate at a mature level.

I think there should be a NO TOLERANCE stance where one strike = banned. Obviously the current system is not working because we are getting overran by immature children that will not behave no matter how many violations they get.

If I disagree with your position I am automatically branded whatever you're not. If I agree with a person who is a "liberal" American does that really mean that I am "conservative" and vice versa - is there really only two ways people in America are allowed to think? Seriously as a Canadian I just don't get it? Our political parties carry the names you use "liberal and conservative" but we are not to be confused with Democrats or Republicans...I like to think I am for all people and common decency - yet by that very notion I have been attacked in your country for supporting criminals rights over law abiding citizens simply by stating you were losing rights and freedoms under the "patriot act". What the hell was my question? Oh yeah why one or the other? Curious me.

you'll find headlines in arabic, french, and english... please read in the language u understand...
under the picture of rockets it is said: if the girl in the picture was a palestinian girl, people all over the world would speak of her brutality,,,, but the fact is this is an israeli kid... what would have to say about that?!

the pictures below are the pictures of lebanese people (children. women, etc) recieving the message... the stillborn, the dead children....
Now can you honestly tell me, that u can look straight in these children's eyes and not blame the israelis!?
Can you honestly tell me that you sympathise with the emotionless israeli kid but not with the dead children or the seriously wounded ones.
If you can honestly tell me that, that simply means you're brainwashed and blinded by the lies of the Israeli government and you have no shread of humanity left in you...

Israel has NOT existed until 1948 by taking over land that belonged to palestine, lebanon and syria.

For all of you who will actually care to be educated, zionists began to settle in palestine since the 1880's!! No one in palestine had a problem at first. However, they kept increasing in numbers by being sent year by year until in 1917 britain issues the Balfour declaration of 'the establishment of a national home for the jewish people in palestine". UN wanted to divide palestine and form tro states, one which would be Israel!!
As a normal reaction, the people refused to leave their homes and land. Conflict began and hence the first Arab-Israeli war.
In 1948, Britain's prime minister David Ben-Gurian declared that the new state would be "open for the immigration of jews from every country in which they have been dispersed".
Who the hell is he to make a decision for a country thats not even his!!!??
in 1949,Israel extended its territory beyond that allocated by the UN.

I'd love opinions from all sides of the fence, just request that we keep them intelligent.

The Soviet Union disbanded peacefully, the US could too, with a simple piece of paper. The South and fundamentalist Christians are only content with a fundamentalist religious regime, why not let them have one as their own separate nation, and people who do not happen to be fundamentalist Christians can have the rest of the country. Conservatives loathe liberals and liberals (at least this one) totally lack respect for conservatives. Isn't it time to admit this forced marriage just is not working, and end it? Peacefully though.
