Other - Politics & Government - July 2007

Someone the other day said they thought Osama was dead. That it was no way possible he could survive in the remote mountains for all these years with his severe medical condition. The person said they thought it was just a ploy by our government to instill fear and gain support for our sustained occupation.

I thought it was a bit far fetched, but stranger things have happened, I guess.

What do you think. Is Osama alive and kicking and lecturing to future Jihad martyrs?

His activist supporters say that 4 yr olds need to know that boys have a penis and girls have a vulva, vagina and so forth.

They say that simply teaching a child that NO ONE should ever touch them and that if ANYONE ever says "its a secret" that they should tell their parents right away is wrong and that kids just need to know the details.

Are we ever going to let our kids be kids again? Why are we forcing them to be mini adults?

Oh another thing- these dingbats used the church molestation scandal as a reason that this is needed. Interesting because the overwhelming number of those boys were teens not toddlers.

With the world becoming smaller, America should lead the world into the 21 century. But handouts to foreign countries need to stop. It seems to me that over 30 years of trade deficits is enough.

I hear so many people saying they dont want to "stick their nose" in peoples business ...but, what if a child dies because of neglect because you didnt want to "stick your nose" into peoples business ? Why are people so afraid?

Why is it when liberals and Democrats hear the words: "God, Jesus, pledge of allegiance, boy scout, Christian, Jew, or USA" they declare war but when they hear: "suicide bomber, Jihad, Arab, infidels, Taliban, Hezbollah, Muslim terrorists," they break out the peace signs?

At this point I am no longer concerned with what his supporters think. Bush's supporters are case studies in denial. The future of our Constitution and balance of powers is in question, and so it the Republic.

they are taking off for several of the hottest weeks of the year and in the meantime nothing gets done to advance the cause of stability.

I cant even imagine it and they are doing it. They worried that U.S. would abandon them and they insisted on all kinds of assurances. now they are F***ing off to god knows where while US troops sit in the desert and bake.

Why does bush and other former politions force their country to make other countries think like he/they do.
If America would have left other countries alone and minded its own business we wouldnt be in shape we are now with so many countries hating us.
The only time we should get involved in others policies is when it affects our country. But becouse we stuck or noises in others business for so long we are in the shape we are now.
The only freedom the americans have anymore is to be able to scratch there own ***.

Researching changes in the prison service, believe it was this report that recommended that prisoners no longer be made to march and Prison Service accepted this recommendation. If anyone believes it is a different report, please let me know where I can access this information.

In view of the disgraceful scenes outside the Court of Law when Burka clad 'people' were ranting and raving and waving placards saying 'BRITISH POLICE GO TO HELL' because those 'people' were there in support of four Muslims being jailed for offences including soliciting murder, and inciting racial hatred. I have stuck to 'people' as we have no idea of what was actually beneath those long black shrouds apart from pure EVIL ! If they were female, then they should really think about what they are doing. In England they are far better protected from the types of abuse that Muslim women have inflicted on their absolute right to FREEDOM from persecution by their male relatives. Even so, yesterday at the Old Bailey the father, uncle and some family friends of a 20 year old Kurdish woman Banaz Mahmod were found guilty of her murder. They gang-raped her, stamped on her to remove her sould and THEN strangled her ! Get rid of the Burka we need to see the faces of those who wish us ill.

Is it because you can't debate them, and inform them so they start to believe what they say is true?
