I would like to see who dare to deffend the killing of Rachell Corrie. When I asked a question about the 14 years old Iraq girl raped and killed by American soldiers, human answers got thumbs down as the girl was an Arab and Muslim girl.
Now what can you say when you know about that innocent girl who went to try to prevent the demolition of homes and she was killed by a soldier driving a buldozer and knows he is killing her?
http://www.rachelcorrie.org/
I know many peopl hate me now just that I put this questions but please hate me as you like but keep to the questions.

Addtional question for Americans only : did you give Israel weapons and money to kill that innocent girl by their military buldozer or you had a promiss from them to kill only Arabs???

Is there a way I could put my grandmother in jail for what she has done after my dad's death?
My dad died 2/17. His wishes were to be cremated and buried w/my moms dad... and EVERYONE had heard my dad talking about how he wanted to be put away.

My grandma called the day after we already made the arrangements (she never showed up) and said "if i have to see my son cremated, i'm never talking to any of you again and i'm having your mom put in jail",

Earlier today she took 1/2 of my moms furinture while she was at work. I don't know how she got in her house-but she did. She also keeps calling my phone and indirectly leaving msg's for my boyfriend to tell my mom "she's going to jail". She never showed up at my dads service and no one had even talked to her.

How can I end this and get rid of her? She basically killed my dad by feeding him pain meds, and I can't cope w/this.

**My gm quit talking to me after I told her she'd be in jail after I called the cops for a drug bust.

If we had not Nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki, millions of Japanese and Americans would have been killed in the process of taking Japan out.

People whine that we have lost 3000 men over the last 4 years. SHUT UP!! We lost 2500 men in ONE DAY... D-DAY. The day we invaded Europe, and set off the end of the war. We lost more men at Normandy in a week than we will probably lose in this whole war.

Wake up people! Look at history and quit listening to sissy reporters whose worst day has been chipping a nail.

the US has 2 large naval mission forces in the Persian Gulf, talks are going on between the Americans, many Arab Countries and Israel on the issue of Iranian nuclear program.
all the signs indicate that the attempts to talk it over with the Iranians have achieved nothing.
It looks as if, behind curtains, a military strike against Iranian targets is being prepared.
are those signs real? what would be the international implications of a strike against Iranian targets? How would the Muslim terrorists respond? what would be the response of Russia and China?

After the "gag" at the Academy Awards tonight with Leonardo DiCaprio, do you think Al Gore is planning a potential presidential run? Could the stunt have been intended to elicit a reaction from the people? Since he was right on global warming, right about the internet, right about "Bush-enomics", and right about the Iraq war from the beginning, why would you not vote for him? Would you be more compelled to vote in '08 if Gore was running on the Democratic ticket?

Eighty-eight percent of stateside Army National Guard units are "very poorly equipped," with less than half of what they need to respond to a domestic crisis, Lt. Gen. H. Steven Blum testified a few weeks ago to the independent Commission on the National Guard and Reserves.

Blum, chief of the National Guard Bureau, coordinates between the states and the Pentagon.

He said 45% of Air National Guard units lacked the necessary equipment to deploy.

Like a snap of the finger, I believe that by 2009 when George W.

What do you expect the GOP will do (or what do you want them to do) in their bid for the 2008 presidential race? What sort of global strategies do you think they'll employ? Whom do you think will have the largest support from the base? Do you expect a smear campaign or a positive campaign? One of hope or one of fear? Will that vary by candidate and/or by opponent? What do you think?

(NOTE: When I asked "what do you think", I used the word "think", not "feel". Opinions driven by emotion are nice, but opinions driven by facts are much better. Please avoid partisanship and augmentum ad hominem. Thanks.)

A new report says Welfare State Growing Despite Overhauls.
First, Bush blames the people on welfare themselves. "What many people on TANF need first is the confidence that they can succeed in the workplace and to develop the habits of work," said Wade Horn, the Bush administration's point man on welfare overhaul.
Horn noted that employment among poor single mothers was up and child poverty rates were down since the welfare changes in 1996, though the numbers have worsened since the start of the decade after Bush took office.

Why is the welfare caseload growing?

Do we blame ourselves for our low achievement or has the government failed us?
Have the business interests themselves failed us?
Have the skools failed us?
Is society breaking down completely?
