ARMENIANS killed 500.000 Turks,after 700 years of friendship, they turned against their neighbors, sided with Russians and even today they are Russia's best friend,and they won't open their archives to study group,afraid of the real truth. just 15 years ago they have massacred 1000"s of azeri people in kohjali,and occupied their land,it was condemn by United Nations, now they think if they unite their people under the POOR ME PITY ME approach they think they will isolate Turkey and will ask for compensations($50 billion).they are surrounded by 110 million Turks but yet still they fill their children's heads with hatred of Turks,they have formed their unity over hatred of Turks,like harant Dink said it is a poison in their blood. They will never succeed,Turkey has 8Th ranking army in the World,I hope it won't come to that.so I say to all the haters STOP and get over it it was more than 80 years ago.

All one has to do is look at the Netherlands, France, and Britain to understand why renunciation of Islam should be a prerequisite to admission into the United States.

"I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace.

So, here's one plan."

1) "The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those "good ole boys", we will never "interfere" again.

2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany , South Korea , the Middle East , and the Philippines . They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence.

3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave.We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of whom or where they are. They're illegal!!!

France will welcome them .

4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers .

5) No foreign "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers .

If they don't attend classes, they get a "D" and it's back home baby .

6) The US will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling

of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while.

7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else (like Canada ! or Oklahoma !). They can go somewhere else to sell their production.

(About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)

8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not "interfere" They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides most of what we give them is stolen or given to the army.

The people who need it most get very little, if anything .

9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island someplace. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens .

10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way , no one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer. The Language we speak is ENGLISH...learn it...or LEAVE...Now, isn't that a winner of a plan ?

"The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses."

She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'you want a piece of me ?' "

How much money has been spent on it?

How much of that money could be used for much better causes such as helping the homeless and such? Maybe use the money to get healthcare for everyone? ;)

Is the war on drugs even working? Nope. Same amount of people still do drugs.

Would it be easier just to legalize? Yes. Drugs are never going to go away no matter what you do. Not only will legalizing it make it so it can be taxed it will help clean up alot of the crimes on the street and will give more room in jails for more important things. Such as people that are out there PHYSICALLY HURTING other people.

Violent crimes are way more of a threat to the public then drugs are. We should be spending more time with the Violent people then the teenage kid at the state park smoking a joint while he is walking around.

If something terribly happened, and the U.S. President Elect died, what would their title be in memorium? "President" isn't quite accurate, because they never got to take the oath of office or serve, but "President-Elect" seems too sad a statement of unrealized potential to use for all of history. Is there already a protocol for this eventuality? I realize it's morbid, but I'm curious.

Do you honestly believe & thus fear that the conflicts presently occurring in the Middle East will have serious repercussions in the Western World (notably in the United Stated) and eventually bring out World War III as an ultimate result?

Do you think that the U.S. Government is doing anything at all remotely helpful in order to avoid such a devastating worldwide disaster?

Do you also think that there is more than meets the eye regarding politics between the U.S. & the Middle East and that the purpose of this insane & crazy war in Iraq isn't solely a desperate & frantic quest to find the cheapest black gold?

In other words, what do you believe is the main reason behind the current conflict in the Middle East?

A quote from someone in another Y!A question:

"Don Imus got fired not because of nappy head hoes statement, but because he was about to go public on 911.

He's a conservative and would have been more of a threat than Rosie coming out on 9/11."



-First of all Imus was a left of center individual, I mean he endorsed JOHN KERRY in 04 for God's sake. Also, what is this "go public with 9-11". You mean he was going to start talking like Rossie, lol you libs should have let him, that would have discredited him a lot more than calling a bunch of nappy headed chicks what they are.



Also, the people tearing him down for what he said were mainly teh ACLU type liberals. If they thought he was going to try to take down Bush you people would have let him do it.

The New York Times did a poll in February 2007 and 84% of those polled thought the govt was lying, at least partly, about what really happened on 9/11.

So why then, are there so many people (or bots) on Yahoo Answers who make it seem like only 16% believe something, ANYTHING, the govt says is a lie?

If you took Yahoo Answers as being a truthful representation of how the country really feels about Bush and the federal govt in general, then you'd think this was a pro-Bush country who wanted to kill everything and everyone who has a different perspective on life than Bush.

Why is that? And how do you folks possibly believe, in light of the actual evidence you can see with your own eyes in the 9/11 pictures taken the day of the event, still think this govt is NOT involved up to their necks?

I just posted a question about an hour ago asking why Liberarals still live here. I clearly stated that I don't mind that they live here inferring they have every right to be here that I do. I made no inferance to them not being allowed to share their viewpoint or dissagree with the government. There are plenty of things I don't agree on.... yes, even with Bush. Yet, like brainwashed little puppets they immediatley start shouting their little talking points as if I was trying to take that away from them. (that would be their party that does stuff like that, i.e. Imus and the "fairness" doctrine). True, you have the right to express your oppinions and try to invoke change. This is just me though, I typically don't tear my country down and give comfort to our enemies in the name of change. I do it at the ballot box and with legitimate debate. Never in wartime, agreed or disagreed, have I ever seen a party try to undermind this country like the Lib/Dems have.

How about we do these other things too?

*Establish the Anti-Offensive Speech Police to fine and/or imprison anyone who says anything offensive to various protected groups.

*Eliminate freedom of religion and make Islam the official religion of the US—you can’t have religious intolerance when we all have the same religion!

*Remove all masculine words from the English language (his, him, Mr., etc.) and discourage any emphasis on gender or sex. Also, change “God the Father” to “God the Parent.”

*Eliminate the right to public assembly; after all, when people are in groups, bad things can happen.

*Eliminate the right to a trial by jury. If someone is innocent, a federally appointed judge should be sufficient.

*Eliminate the right to illegal search and seizure—those who have nothing to hide have nothing to fear.

Everyone is obviously upset over what happened at VA Tech today, but in listening to the first White House press conference I am worried. I am worried that the left is going to use this to try and pass more ridiculous gun control. We have a Constitutional amendment protecting our rights, but as we have seen the left does not care - about ANY of our rights. Take Imus for example. If Imus can be fired over a joke, imagine what they will try to do now that 32 people are dead.

With great power - the 2nd Amendment, comes great responsibility. We as a society have failed. We failed this young man, thus 32 people had to die. I don't know what his motives were, but I imagine this was not some random thing he decided to do. I am not saying feel sorry for the gunmen only, I feel sorry for all the victims. Like it or not, he himself and whom he killed are all victims. It should never have happened, but banning guns will not solve the problem of WHY.
