Everyday I see out least four questions about Muslims that just happen to be insulting or misunderstood.

Everyday I see more then half a dozen answers about Muslims that are just wrong and ignorant.

Where do these people get their facts from?

“Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” Yeah right. I was supposed to receive a package (a Christmas gift) on December 24th. It’s Christmas night and I still haven’t received the package. I looked up the tracking number, and was informed that my package arrived in a town less than 40 miles from my home on the 23rd. What was stopping the postal workers from driving an extra 40 miles to deliver a package before Christmas? Is there any way to file a complaint with the USPS?

It is a felony, punishable by 5 years in jail for each threat, and people are being reported for doing it on here.

Why do people always use the word "we" when discussing things the government does? For example when people say "We bombed Iraq". Why do they say "we"? Did YOU actually partiocipate in that activity? If not, why use the word "we"?

Has there ever been a government program that has accomplished its supposed goals? For example, the "war on terror" has created more terror, the "war on drugs" has led to more violent street crrime and a greater variety and potency of available drugs. The "war on poverty" has created more poverty and a permanent welfare class. The war on Iraq, which was supposed to help the people of Itraq, has turned their lives into living hell. Has the government ever instituted a program that did not make things worse for the people that it is supposed to help?

The house of representatives is meant to be made for a two party system and always has a majority party and a minority party. but what would happen if a third party broke up the votes and the amount of votes for both republicans and democrats was split down the middle? what would happen if there was no majority or minority party in this case ?

I hear alot of people say to stop the war. I hear them say we have no business in Iraq, Iran, or anywhere. I don't think we know the details or reason's governments make decisions to go to war, but I'll bet it's nothing more than a domestic battle between countries. Bottom line is, if it doesn't stop it'll never end.

So, expecially the youth here . . . let's get some ideas going about stopping violence and restoring the relationship between countries. I don't want to hear political opinion, or contraversy of who's at fault. The healing won't start till the adversity is diminshed.

We won't change the world, but let's see if we can change ourselves. Be sure to read the answers. If you like it, grade it.

Are there any other people out there that think both parties are being played against each other by another group? I was born in the U.S. and have lived here over 30 years, and I would be a liar if I told you that I've never met a decent Republican OR Democrat. C'mon, people, we are being divided and conquered! We have to work together again to save our nation! Thoughts?

Politics, Power & Energy

In the early 19th century powered machines such as boats, trains etc… were powered by charcoal energy. Later, petroleum had been discovered as a new source of energy and used much more widely. Since then petrol became a symbol, of power and wealth. Therefore the western countries occupied productive countries in the Middle East, North Africa, and so on to get more energy for their growing industries.

After a while and under the population’s resistance to occupation, the occupants were forced to retrieve. But they left corrupted governments, on small states that they divided, to rule on their behalf and to look after their interests. Until now, those governments have western support and protection.
