I like it better than the old way which was that all problems in the world can be linked to white people in five steps or less.

Why is it that whenever a disaster happens, everyone jumps to the conclusion that it was done by terrorists? Like the recent bridge collapse.


...i see the US government has done their job. you're all brainwashed and paranoid from living in threat levels orange and red 24/7.

Do the Dems NOW have a NEW buzz word - INFRASTRUCTURE - to promote PROPER Federal spending, instead of their usual money wasting give-away projects?
Or do they STILL hate everything that really HELPS the U.S. economy?

Mr Bush has only one concern in this whole matter, he wants the "Guest Worker Program" that he promised the energy Industry. Mr. Bush is willing to sign any bill congress comes up with as long as it includes his guest worker program.
Already in Ky lawmakers are working toward changing a law that requires certified underground coalminers to be able to speak english. Coal mining is already a dangerous occupation and communication is essential to the health and safety of the miners.
Already in Mexico there are recruiters signing up young Mexican men to come work in Ky coal mines. The coal industry justifies this by saying that Appalachian men and women no longer have the same work ethics they once had. This may be true, they are no longer willing to kill themselve for the coal industry, They are no longer willing to practice unsafe methods to increase profits, they are no longer willing to go home empty handed after giving a lifetime to the coal industry..
We all know that undocumented workers are a problem but its a problem that can be resolved if Dems and Reps work together. Why not let cogress come up with a solution for those already here before we pass a law to bring more. If the "Guest Worker Program> has merit it can be brought up for debate at a later time. Us solve the current problem before we create another

I just got another violation notice and THAT question has been removed.

Clearly, culpability for atrocities is vested equally due to a willingness to turn a blind eye and unfailingly believe in lies and distorted fabrications.

In 2005 then director of the CIA Porter Goss said he has an excellent idea where Osama bin-Laden is but we can't get him for politcal reasons.

Now we learn officially what we always knew ,that he is in the tribal zone of northern Pakistan on the Afghan border.

Should we tell Pakistani president Musharaff we don't care if you have nukes or about your domestic political concerns we wan't Osama now or we're comming to get him? Or should we wait until it is politically convenient to bring him to justice?

Detroit has still wooden water pipes from 1890, leaking worse then a 3 month old baby. There isn't a day, when some District in Cleveland has no Electricity. Europe has long abandoned overhead wiring, which is the major cause for energie outs in the USA and is 10 years ahead of Communications, with glas fiber cables for the a faster internet. Roads here are in worse state then in soem thrid world countires. Why are we not investing and creating jobs for the future?

Especially the political ones that say the 'other side' is doing horrible villainous things...

Also, in your answer, say where you stand, politically (just in a general sense - conservative, liberal, republican, democrat, libertarian, whatever works for you).

The only really inaccurate things that I get forwarded to me are from my more conservative friends. I'm just wondering if that's because all of the crazy made-up & exaggerated propaganda emails out thare are from the conservative side, or if it's because the liberal ones get stopped right away by people who say 'Wait, this isn't true, even if it feels like it should be and would make good points for our side if it was'.

Or, maybe my liberal friends just don't like to forward stuff.

They want to teach our kids that we evolved from monkeys.

They want to prevent our kids from praying in school.

I mean, the Republicans say that in order to support the troops we must support GW Bush's administration. Thus far, all they really did for the troops is cut their VA benefits, extend their time away from home and stir up even more trouble for them in the Middle East by purposefully ticking off every Muslim there into a murderous rage.

How can I Support my Librarian the way my government Supports Our Troops? Should I try making her job harder & longer and cutting all her benefits? Should I call her a libtard whenever she asks to go home for Christmas, and a traitor when she expresses a dislike for her boss' policies of being a prick to her? Won't she appreciate more work for less time off and lackluster medical coverage?

When I am scattering the books to make her job more difficult and people yell at me to quit being an ******, should I point at them and scream "you dont support the librarian!"? If somebody offers her a ride home, should I call them treasonous traitors?

Decisions to go to war are taken by people who rarely put their own children in harm's way - Bush, Bin Laden, Blair, etc. So you have to take their word for it that the war is necessary to protect your country or your faith.

And those who return alive from wars are always treated so shabbily by the country they were told they have to "save"

I love my country, but it's no better than any other (including yours, unless you're Zimbabwean) so while I'd die for family and friends, I'd never do it for nationalism. And certainly not for any religion. What do you think ?

With the average of over 16,000 murders a year in the United States, why is not there an outcry from the left for us to leave our own country. This is over 4 times the amount of U.S. losses in Iraq in over four years just in one year in our own country. Yes, I ask this question in jest, but, that is exactly why judging a fight on how many losses you have is never a good idea.
