After all these reservations forced onto native indians were worse then hitlers concentration camps, for these camps had no water, which meant no food source, no fertile soil or materials to make shelter, the indians died a terrible slow death, at least the jews died a quick death after being gassed by the later nazis.

Have religious Americans any right to criticize Muslims when the difference is just a matter of degree? The healthy relaxed safe beaches of Australia, Brazil and Europe, to name a few, confirm the backwardness of Americans who feel so ashamed of their own bodies.
The sad fact is that most of those who answer here
have never been to a nude beach and don't know what they are talking about.

Yes most people realize that our military can defeat anyone, especially given time. But we are nearly broke as a country, we simply don't have the cash to patrol the world and have bases in 130 countries, we are going to have to cut back and just have a few bases and a strong Navy and Air force but they too will have to sit idle more to save money. I hear people say cut Social Security, but people have paid for that and many count on it for retirement and they did pay in, so its going to have to be the military, besides alot of these countries can pay for their own defense or pay us to defend them, maybe we could do military protection for a profit.

They share an island, but there's a huge difference between the two. DR is way more developed and democratic while most of Haiti is extremely poor and very unstable. Why is this?

Wasn't it Reagan and Bush Sr. who armed, trained, financed Bin Laden and his boy's in the early 80's?

Didn't 9/11 happen under the Republicans watch?

Wasn't it Reagan and Rumsfeld who gave Saddam chemical weapons?

Wasn't it contractors linked to Rumsfeld who sold nuclear reactor's to N. Korea?

Wasn't it Bush who wanted to hand our port security to Dubai, a country with links to Hezbollah?

Wasn't it reagan who called Bin Laden a "great man and a hero" (after Reagan cut and ran from Lebanon after Hezbollah bombed a marine's barrack killing almost 300 marines".

Aren't the Bush's closes friends and business partners the Saudi Royal Family? The same family who have bank rolled terrorism for decades?

Wasn't it Bush who said " I don't think about Bin Laden, he is not important too me."

With the track record of the Republicans can America take the risk and vote Republican?

Ok so with the rise of the EU the US will no longer be a superpower 10 years from now.....in fact a popular book was publish calling this sentury the european century. With future members coming in like Turkey and maybe even Russia on topof others it would be a good idea to start doing the same.

The EU has 1.6 Trillion dollars more in terms of GPD and 150 million more people as well....translating this if russia and the other countries join the EU if war started we would loose.

China is coming from the bottom and is aiming stright for the top, is GPD is 11 trillion while ours is 13 and the EU almost 15 and with a population over a billion there military would be one hell of a fight for us.

If the European union happends the GPD would go to 18 and population to 659 million which just means we can easily beat the EU and china at that point.

Sure Mexico is a messed up country, it can be fixed...is still the 9 richest country in the world so we can benefit.

I am chinese from mainland China. i have always believed Taiwan is part of china. However i like to look at a situation from different perspectives.
Why does Taiwan want to be independent from China?
What are the benifits for becoming their own country?
Is the whole China V.s. Taiwan animocity reasonable?
Why is taiwan claiming its not part of china when its goverments name is "republic of china"?
Since china is turning more democratic and capitalist by the day, is the difference in goverment really the reason for this conflict?

I asked alot so u dont have to answer all of them some feed back would be nice

and pliz dont comment on this if u dont understand the situation. thx for ur comments ,,\/(^.~)

In the UK, it is a criminal offence to posses materials deemend to glorify terrorism. Rightly so you might say, but why then is it perfectly acceptable for mainstream "urban" artists to openly glorify murder, drug dealing and other such criminal activities?

Screw the official government numbers. They've been massaged or skewed or politicized or just plain fabricated. Merrill Lynch calculates 7.9% year over year inflation since last Thanksgiving. And THAT'S probably a somewhat conservative estimate. All I know is, I didn't get an 8% raise this year and I'm sure as hell not going to get one next year...

I went to the post office in WA and I filled out a change of address form for an individual, me, and checked Nov. 15th as the date I wanted all my mail to start getting sent to my new address in California. When I get here, I get a slip in the mail informing me of the change of address, yet it says I still need to "confirm" it. Only it doesn't provide any number or suggestion for how I'm supposed to do that.

Um...what?

Gordon Brown will look "weird" and out of touch if he presses on with ID card plans despite the loss of child benefit records, David Cameron has said.
At prime minister's questions, the Tory leader said the data problems should cause Mr Brown to "stop and think".

But the prime minister told MPs that using biometric profiles would ensure "people can feel confident that their identity is protected".

I dont think so! I will never feel safe until this government is out of office. Somewhere they cant get their hands on my personal data!

seriously, driving stoned is less dangerous than driving drunk, or even driving tired. Science is your friend.

from owning guns there? Doesn't the Washington D.C. law just prove that when you outlaw guns in the US, only outlaws will have guns? Liberals, I really want to hear from you...why haven't gun bans in DC resulted in less violent crimes and homicides?
