Do you prefer news with a viewpoint? Or do you prefer objective reporters that just tell you what is happening?
Do you prefer the fly on the wall view, omniscient narrator, on the scene what is happening there, or something else?
I prefer news that just tells what is going on.
I can make my own decisions and make up my own mind about what is shown?
What do you think?

I know of someone who has just been offered a £2000 a year course to retrain in computer it,yet this guy is under a 18 month suspended prision sentence and180 hours community service,
(he was told he would have gone to prision for his crime, but because the prisions were full at the time of his case and under government guide lines he would just get a suspended sentence and community service.)

yet if i would like to do the same computer it course, i would have to pay in full , were he does not have to.
he was also told there is much more money available to help retrain offenders.
so my question
Is Uk tough or weak on crime?

Is now the time to shut up or say as much as possible? Is freedom of speech beginning to feel like a crime?

I have a read an article here in yahoo (i think) about how asians already have certain types of diseases (e.g. cancer) that have been linked to "bad western habbits". If this is true and can be proved factually, can asian governments sue the american government? please explain why or why not.

When did it become OK to go around talking about your personal political beliefs if you are a liberal but Not OK if you are conservative?
Are we just too polite to tell them - please don't talk like that around me, I don't want to hear your political beliefs, I have my own and I would rather not talk about it?
Why is this one sided bashing ok in America?

Do you really think it is ok to verbally slam Bush at the copy machine? Be a clerk in a store and talk against the war to customers? Etc
I have seen this repeatedly at my own places of employment and out and about in the community.
Shouldn't this type of conversation be for with your friends? Not when you are at work?
Why do employers let their employees do this?
Don't they know it's a huge turn off for 50% of their customers or other employees , seeing as we have a two party system?

I am sure some conservatives do this too.
I am probably hear more of the liberals because I am hearing them bash me and my beliefs when I have just been quietly minding my business and have not told them I am a republican because I more quiet about my own beliefs.

1. A system of academic selection in public (state) schools, for all its defects and biases, is preferable to an "egaliatarian" system by which children are allocated to schools based on residence area or lottery. Yes, academic selection might give the middle class an advantage, but bright children from poor families would benefit as well, and the competition to get into selective schools would force children to study harder.

SOME Americans and Europeans have told me that "competition is not good for children". Nonsense. Everywhere in Asia, bright children thrive on competition. And in any competiiton, some people will always come out ahead. It's not unfair, it's just life.

2. I would prefer having a meritocratic House of Lords composed of (or elected by) the intellectual elite. It should be a counterbalance to popular sentiment and somewhat disconnected from the masses. After all, do the masses really know what is best?

Comments and feedback appreciated.

And if the price of gas/diesel went up to let's say $10 (or higher) a gallon would they have enough money in their budget to wage war in Iraq/Afghanistan?

I know the US has strategic reserves but if the price of gas went that high would Congress have to pick between using it for the war & using it home?

Mine has always been, "Ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what you can do for your country, My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."

and it did get me to do something I had considered insane, and to this day I do not understand how I survived.

SO my friends, are you asking what your country is doing for you? I hope not.

Why are they against us having a choice in educating our children, forcing us to send our children to a government monopoly?

Why are they refusing to allow me to choose a funded private retirement account funded by a portion of my Social Security taxes?

Why are they refusing to allow me to have a health savings account, buying high-deductible health insurance that becomes eligible for tax-preferred savings accounts from which I will pay for my routine medical expenses?

Based on their hatred of these choices it seems they are only for choice for them but not Americans. I want less government in my life, give me that freedom.

Congress is trying to pass this bill. They are trying to turn this into a hate crime, and this can make preachers pay a fine and even spend time in prison, even though they are preaching the truth. What happened to freedom of religion and speech? People worry so much about illegal immigrants' rights and gay rights, when they should be worried about what the Bible says
