Those of us with a post 2nd grade education know that we were winning militarily in vietnam and the north was contemplating suing for peace because of our continued bombing. The left via politics and outright treason caused our "leaders" to pull out without the job being finished and 3 million south vietnamese, cambodians and laotians were slaugthered by commies. Does siding politically with the enemy give aid and comfort to the enemy and bolster their confidence to continue to fight though they have no way of a tactical victory? Only political and ideological victory? We know that almost all terror attacks in Iraq are concentrated around baghdaddyO because that's where the bleedia is. Bleedia reports only the baaaaaaaaad and the left eats it up like the sheeple they are.

I did a non vocational subject (Ancient and Medieval History) and though I loved doing it I do feel really sad that those three years of hard work have done NOTHING to help me find a job!!!

I know its hard to get a job in that field but when we started Uni we were told that *any* degree looks good on your CV and can lead you into Graduate Management placements, Government jobs etc.

Fast forward 6 years and I have never been able to find a job with my degree - its a 2:1 . There aren't enough grad jobs out there and too much competition. And I don't want to teach.

I wish I'd learned a skill or trade instead but we were made to feel that was a poor second for "less academic types" (ie "thickos!").

Before I had my baby I worked in a call centre for £6 an hour alongside LOADS of graduates! Its depressing.

Should the Govenrment encourage more skills training for school-leavers?

They refuse to secure the borders, but they insist on wiretapping.
They sell arms to Saudi Arabia, when Saudi Arabia is the main financial supporter of Al-Qaida, exports Wahabism and the main supporter of the Sunni insurgency in Iraq.
They seem to have most people convinced that our government has to operate in secrecy, but we are a representative Democracy and I for one want some Goddamned explanations.
Don't you?

2 young Arab men have been arrested after pipe bombs were found in their car near a naval base in South Carolina. Of course, thanks to liberals, there are cries of racism and discrimination by civil rights groups.

Question: If I was at a bus stop and saw a young Arab man walk up with explosives strapped to his chest, should I remain standing there and then get on the bus? I mean, after all, what would make me believe he was going to actually set off the bomb and kill people? Because he's an Arab Muslim? HOW RACIST!!!!! Am I correct on this, liberals?

Obama said that he would go into Pakistan, with or without Musharraf's permission, if he had "actionable intelligence" that
Al-Qaida targets were there. Giulliani said that he wouldn't have worded it the way Obama did, but he would do the same thing.
Why is the media making such a big deal about Mitt Romney
attacking Obama for the comment and not saying a thing about the fact that Giulliani agreed with Obama's comment? Isn't Giulliani supposed to be the Republican standard bearer for the war on terror?

I heard that they hire them instead of using our own military for protection when they go to Iraq. They're also being trained by US marines to do their work. If this is true, why is our government allowed to have it's own private army (assassins) to do it's will?

The purchasing power of minimum wage was higher in the 50s and 60s. Today, it takes TWO minumum wage workers to match the buying power of one minimum wage woker in 1968.

The current effective rate on the richest 1 percent, whose income is at least $900 billion per year, is about 25 percent. During the prosperous decades of the 1950s and 1960s, an effective tax rate of 50 percent on the very richest 1 percent of Americans was imposed.

The effective tax rate on corporate profits was 50 percent in the 1950s. Today, corporate profits have risen dramatically, to over $600 billion per year, while taxes have remained at an effective rate of about 25 percent.

I think we should strive to get back to these good old fashioned values! What say you?

maybe it is cyclical
maybe it is man made
but the warming of the earth now that it is inhabited by 6.5 BILLION people is what should be ALARMING.
If man continues to ignore the increase in flooding and the disease that comes with that or ignores the warming of the earths temperature and spends all their time ARGUING whether its man made or cyclical global warming we will ALL pay a price sooner rather than later.
Simply foolish and childish.

Beginning in 1920, anti-Zionist propaganda insisted that Zionists were going to dispossess and expel the Arabs of Palestine. In 1922, at the beginning of the British Mandate, there were about 660,000 Arabs in Palestine, while at the end of the British mandate there were about 1.3 Million Arabs. About 735,000 lived in the areas that would become Israel after the War of Independence. There were more Arabs in Palestine than had ever lived there before in all of recorded history, and their standard of living, which had been considerably below that of Arabs in neighboring countries, was well above it. The Arab claim of dispossession, repeated so often in Mandatory Palestine, was an invention. When the UN partitioned Palestine in 1947, the Palestinians, initiated attacks against the Jews, and the Jewish underground groups retaliated. The forces of both sides consisted of poorly trained underground armies and volunteers, who committed massacres against civilian targets and fought in built up areas. The Palestinian Arab community was not well organized however, and began fleeing the country, expecting to return when the war was over and victorious Arab armies liberated Palestine. However, the Jews won the war, and enacted a law preventing the return of the refugees. Given that the refugees were hostile to the new state, the attitude of the Israeli government was understandable. After World War II, numerous Germans were expelled or fled from areas of Germany annexed by Poland and from the Czech Sudetensland. The flight and expulsion of the Palestinian refugees, while in part due to the actions of Jewish terrorist groups and the Israeli army was not, as anti-Zionists claim, the result of a fundamental tenet of Zionist ideology, but rather an unfortunate product of the war that was instigated by the misguided leadership of the Arabs of Palestine.
