Throughout the entire Uk there only a handful of tall buildings and I wouldnt necessarily call them Skyscrapers either. They are more like "high rises" and cannot be classified as skyscrapers.
Anyway..what is the tallest building in the UK?
and are there rules against erecting tall buildings?
I know in Washington DC..there are laws against building skyscrapers..

Rather than dealing with the issues in our own country, like the middle class and their struggle to stay afloot, the issue of wether we will have social security, the fact the we have so many poor in our country, and so many people without health insurance, minimum wage being at its same low for ten years.The poor quality in our schools. All the money spend on the war would be so much more useful to help our country with, so we don't end up as a third world country ourselves. With people living in debt, and the next generations becoming more and more uneducated I feel this country should concentrate within before dealing with what is on the outside ( its like telling your neighbors to clean up their yard, when yours is flowing over with mess)

I am truly curious. Why are so many people against gun ownership? Are they afraid of the unfamiliar? Have myths and urban legends of gun deaths turned them away? Do they believe that criminals won't have guns if law abiding citizens don't? Is it rooted in traumatic experience? Do they have rational arguments?

Pro-gun or anti-gun, I want to hear your argument.

And you go to the hosiptal and do a police report and crap, wouldnt you just go ahead and get Plan B while you were at the hospital instead of waiting to see if you conceived? The rape theory does not hold up in the argument for abortion.

What we need, here in the U.S., are labor camps. Think about it. We could begin manufacturing goods at a competitive rate with China. We would no longer need to import so much stuff from them because we could make it just as cheap ourselves. Think about criminals. Instead of putting them up in a nice facility where they have access to cable TV, we could put them to work. How about all those leeches on wellfare? You know the ones I'm talking about. Driving a pimped out caddilac but pulling in a check every month from the govornment and doing nothing useful with their lives. Put them in the camps too. Criime would drop drastically. We wouldn't be so reliant on importing foreign goods. So many people who are useless in society would be given a purpose and something productive ot put their time and efforts into. We could use all the money we save on welfare and pay off all our national debt. It might be an easier law to pass than we think, considering most of those people don't vote anyway

that todays Republican Party, is the party of Lincoln, if you do that O. K. you are entitle to your opinion but let me just say that I have read Abraham Lincoln biography, and I totally disgree, this man was a very wise and intelligent person he also was a person that believe strongly in the working poor, he also believe in a clean healthy environment, I dont see none of these qualities in todays Republican Party starting from the White House, and or the way down to the bottom.

Or are we at war because Cheney and Bush are oil guys and couldn't resist Iraqi oil?

Halliburton got a no bid multi-million dollar deal in Iraq. The Carlyle group who Bush has money in (as with the Bin Laden family) is making a ton of cash off Iraq.

Cheney gave a no bid fire fighting contract to a firm he has investments in.

Could it be oil and business that was the motivating reason for Iraq?

Or just because Reagan and Bush trained and armed our enemy's.

.....it is building a biological weapons lab at Fort Detrick, Maryland which may be against the bio-weapons ban imposed 34 years ago but we'll never know because The Department Of Homeland Security who are running it have rejected independednt monitoring by an international body on the basis that it is an "internal affair". All this strikes me as hypocrisy for the fact that America has invaded Iraq and threatens to invade Iran for exactly this reason. The Washington Post also reports that the previous bioweapons plant here was not properly disposed of and between 1989&2002 234 cases of exposure to agents of "potential bioterrorism" were reported. Not only is America a danger to the world but its own people it seems.
What do you think of this?

I do.

There as all this hype about Gates and his foundation. I watched some interviews with him where the main thing they plan to do is send vaccines to Aftrica.

DUH!!!!
1. Gates on large amounts of pharmcy stocks that MAKE THE VACCINES. = who gains to profit more than ever from this?
2. Rumor has it that a lot of these vaccines cause sterility and other viruses.

Only Satan could get the richest man in the world, W.Buffet (also an evil man who got rich off of insurance companies) to give him the majority of his money.

"He believes he was chosen by God to lead the United States; that he gets advice from God; and that what he does is both inspired and sanctioned by God. He does not accept criticisms of this doctrine."

How is this thought any different from the feelings of the Muslim terrorists? They believe they are doing what thier God asks of them. Even if they are wrong, if they are worshiping the wrong God if there is one, isn't the fact that religion plays a HUGE factor in most all wars a good reason to get it out and keep it out of politics?
