Other - Politics & Government - January 2007

Can someone tell me, seeing as I cannot get registered with BB in order to ask my question there on thier site...

a) Why has NOTHING been said about Mr Jermaine Jackson calling fellow housemate "white trash"?

b) In the interest of fai play, does BB now intend to disallow Shilpa from taking part in the next eviction nominations vote due to the fact she and Mr Jermaine Jackson discussed previous nominations - same breach of the rules as Carol and Cleo?
Mr Jackson told Shilpa "Dirk will be home Wednesday or Thursday" and Shilpa told him she thought Dirk would be out next.

To date, I have not heard any BB reprimand on either my queries, and as I said, I cannot get registered on thier site in order to ask my question there !! (don't suppose any money for them with emails in the forums compared to the exobitant phone charges for texts and calls !!
Ho-hum !!

Being our all American hero, He was the real Southwesterner and a real American Cowboy even though he became that after playing ball in College and moved West into Movieland, Reagan was a wannabe, and Bush Sr. was a mashed potato with massive gun power from government CIA, But GW Bush? Can you picture him on a horse next to John Wayne? ha ha ha ha He looks like a boy in mens clothing eh? He could not make a pimple on John Waynes butt in real life let alone the movies? Why do we even bother listening to him or his crap? He is a joke. ha ha ha ha

I just saw the movie.

It was one of the greatest of what I have watched on my entire life.


From watching the movie, I pondered "what made those terrorists to behave that way? Those terrorists acted so desperate."

Why do those terrorists hate the West? I think this is actually the real core of the issue, when dealing with the terrorism.

I do not think the terrorists hate the West simply because they are "bad", "hate freedom" or "religious fanatics". I think they are the humans, after all and there has to be something that makes them so desparate and hate the West.


I want to hear your opinions; what do you think make the terrorists to hate the West so bad?

My thinking is, the history (colonization, and the general struggle between the West and Mid East) AND the American policy (strong support to Israel).

Although I do not suppor him, Bin Laden once said from his audio message, "West must appologize for the crimes it had commited."

Does this have any clue?

My concerns are thus: Bush admits that mistakes have been made concerning the war, but his answer is to send more troops? Seems like a band-aid for a bullet wound.
We got rid of Saddam, dismantled his murderous government, & helped Iraq to start a new government. Why are our troops still there? Are we really fighting terrorism? No! This is not just an opinion here. By Bushs own admission our troops are there to stop SECTARIAN violence between Iraqis. Study your history of the region, these people have been fighting ever since they could. Honestly, is there anything we can do to stop them from doing what theyve been taught raised & socialized to do from birth? Iraq war is protecting US? The facts say diff. 5+ yrs after 9/11 & we're vulnerable now as we were then. Less than 10% of bags are checked at airports & less than 5% of incoming cargo containers into US ports are checked. Money better spent ACTUALLY securing US instead of war that creates more terrorists & enemies.

Senior members of the Labour party, have criticised the police, for doing their job as they have always done it.

When Tory officials are arrested in a dawn raid, it is fine. But when Labour officials are arrested in the same way, it is wrong.

Has Britain, as described by a recent report by one of the highest legal eagles, really become the same as a third world country when it comes to political interference in the the work the police does?

young people are taking the Viagra, Enzyte, etc., that have no diabetes or anything wrong with their abilities. That they are taking it for sport? Do you feel that this should be treated with concern for the morals here in America, and politically work this out that a person with no physical problems should be taking these pills ever? The study does show side effects from over use and they have no long term knowledge (guinea pigs) of the effects of these pills either. Sex is a drug in itself, and it is being promoted like a prostitute, instead it is in pill form and the pharmeceutical companies are cleaning up? shouldn't we be able to get our high blood pressure pills over the counter? And any other drug that is so necessary that we could die without them? Rather than pay enormous amounts for these pills? A doctor's cost and the prescription? Pharmaceutical companies are standing in the way of our health programs as well. And they are dictating with government what we can or can't have

I know that people either hate her or like her, and I know it would be disastrous if she won for president but I want to know why people hate her so much. It's not that I have a preference, I am just curious.

this according to an Army Times poll... Army Times, the newspaper put out by the Army?

"Only 35 percent of the military members polled this year said they approve of the way President Bush is handling the war, while 42 percent said they disapproved. The president’s approval rating among the military is only slight ly higher than for the population as a whole. In 2004, when his popularity peaked, 63 percent of the military approved of Bush’s handling of the war. While ap proval of the president’s war lead ership has slumped, his overall approval remains high among the military.

Just as telling, in this year’s poll only 41 percent of the military said the U.S. should have gone to war in Iraq in the first place, down from 65 percent in 2003."

Answer the following 2 questions:

1. Would you like to see the troops come home? Y or N

2. Do you think we should turn our backs on the Iraqi people? Y or N

These polls would have 2 different results. Which one would the public see? No. 1 of course.

is it that these third world ingrates and the fancy pants in these civilized lands are always ready to shoot us down at the least suspect of wrong doing? Every civilization has had bad governments and we have had a few losers in office true, but really? People have electricity because of Ben Franklin. We have taken in every immigrant from anywhere and we pay their weight and freight and medical as well. Why are we sitting back and allowing us to slam us up against the wall constantly every chance they get? Is it Jealousy and Greed? Or down right ungrateful pathetic ignorant people or both? Europe would never have survived WW II without us either. I am not trying to offend but really? Is this a world of what you have given me lately? short term memories? And why not help us and be humane rather than the I hate you mentality? All comment welcome without cursing please?
