I find it infuriating that a convicted first-degree murderer is being rewarded in this manner. Evidently the only thing he has to pay for is his Pimp Daddy clothes. My reward for doing things right, as someone who didn't have mommy & daddy put me through college, was that I had to work full time to cover room & board, and I have a decade of student loan payments to look forward to.

Should Society be responsible for doing this? Will he even appreciate it, and does he have any respect or consideration for those that support him at the expense of their own families?

saw a question earlier on who is the most dangerous person on the planet , 5 or 6 said the president of IRAN WTF????? BS .

the CIA has said iran will not have capabilites to make nuclear weapons for 10 years and even if they did have these capabilities (which they dont) and they attacked they would be wiped off the map in seconds its not an option for them in any way .

also if they were going into iraq which is probably more propaganda , why would that be an excuse to attack them ???? praps selling there oil in euros has more to do with it .

heres the question , do you personally fall for the propaganda ?

and for those that say im a liberal or what ever bullshit the left and rights a joke its about right and wrong.

She is beautiful and smart and has a real get things done attitude the likes of which Washington hasn't seen in years. A real breath of fresh air in DC! Why, even conservatives are softening under her charm and great unifying spirit!

No two countries have the same Gini Index or the same percentage of all income earned by the top 10% - why is it that some (African and Latin American) countries have such huge gaps between rich and poor while others (mostly in Europe) have a much lower gap / less inequality? What can high inequality countries do to even things out? What can we do here to encourage them?

How does someone change their religion, especially if it's a Mormon religion, where they don't leave you alone? How does someone write a letter regarding this to confirm their decision to be removed from their religion list? What if the Mormon church refuses, or ignores a request, then what? Can an attorney be involved?

What good is having a Representative Republic when the people keep choosing poor representatives and are unwilling to accept a gov't that says "no" when it needs to?

Isn't the Representative Republic responsible for causing the debt and not addressing urgent issues in medical research and health care?

Do we really need to send more people to the moon when over 1000 kids get HIV every day?

Tell me why you think this works!

I believe that wealthy people are wealthy because they have greater influence over their incomes and just pass their taxes on to consumers. And the same for businesses.
So, are all taxes really sales taxes?

i think its sad that becauze of the people you choose to represent you, your society is hated so deeply. america prob has millions of great people who dont have the same mind set as the actions their country is commiting. do you really understand that you are the most hated people on the planet. and its not becauze of the need to be like you. out of all the intelligent people in your country you choose the worst possible face for yourselves. why do you let others dictate your image for you? americans understand themselves perfectly, but they dont understand anyone else.

Each country has different operating requirements within their own diasporas:

Given most countries not in this league have governments serve communities generally lacking in education, social awareness, funds and proper policing to back legislation, assuming legislation exists in the first place. In short, their prerogatives are different to those of a developed nation.

Postulation:
Is there an exclusive class of nations at work in their interest above other nations ?
What are your opinions ?


Kindly refrain from diatribe and ad hominem attacks of all parties participating.

OK. So US invaded Afghanistan. Then Iraq. Now it's about Israel and Iran?
Surely they are stretching the boundaries of logical reasoning???

I ask because there is reason to believe that Iraq must be dealt with now in order to put it back to at least where it was before Bush illegally and more importantly, immorally invaded it. Yes, Iraq is a mess as John McCain has been saying.

My problem with McCain is that he is allowing the farce we call 9/11 to go unpunished. Trust me, Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. A complete fool could see that. Look at me. I see it. Call me a fool, again.

And if you look at the evidence and the governments official 9/11 story, it's so seriously questionable that only a fool would allow it to go unpunished. This is my chance to get out of fooldom.

I ask this question about McCain, because I WANT DESPERATELY to believe in something, but anyone who allows 9/11 to go un-INVESTIGATED, at the very least, just ain't right.

All I can say is that if I ever commit a horrible crime, I hope the government puts as much effort into catching me as they have into the 9/11 truth.

Thoughts?
