It seems as if everyone is targeting Islam for teaching aggression throughout the world. I cannot help but to try to look on the other side of the fence and see what is going in Muslim countries and what acutal Muslims think

Any claims the U.S. has of remaining in Iraq for its welfare and freedom have now been exposed for their falsehood.

Let us examine the details. Monsters serving as U.S. soldiers forcibly entered an Iraqi home. This alone is a punishable crime. One of them then shot and killed the parents and younger sister of a 14 year old Iraqi girl in her presence.

They then proceeded to rape this child (I find it shocking that the media continues to call her a woman), mutilate her and kill her.

They had no remorse, no pity, and no concern for her or her family. It sends chills down my body to recount this.

They then covered up their crime by burning her body. Only after one of them confessed in a stress debriefing months later, was this crime uncovered.

How many such chilling crimes have U.S. soldiers committed is anyone’s guess.

The U.S. should take full responsibility for this crime.

What are some of the main differences between conservatives and liberals? Is conservative another word for Republican and liberal for Democrat? Why and how do their views differ?

P.S. This is a serious question so if you want to vent or spread disgust with one or the other please go somewhere else. Thx.

I asked a question last night on :
Why do white people make bad comments on blacks because of our actions?

SmartOne said:
It's not blacks, but it is the majority. For some reason, many (not all!!!) blacks don't use proper English and they put themselves in bad situations by purposely being on welfare and having to live in low-income apts. which then turn into druggies and murderers. They also always feel the need to mention their race "Oh, I'm a black girl I'm hott" "Hey, brotha, hey, sista", etc.

Years ago I read a sociological study that was done on college campuses that found that more than 30% of young men admitted that if they knew they could get away with they would commit a rape. I hope that isn't true but my guess if 30% admitted this it must be even higher.

“Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”

1)schools that do not teach morality or the 3 r's
2)hospitals that bill medicade and medicare for billions with lots of room for fraud.
3)intrest rates that choke a horse
4)defense spending that is out of control
5)1/3 of americans rely on a pay check from uncle sam and i am not talking about regular welfare but the redistribution of taxes on working americans into defense and health care which is payed for by taxes collected by working americans who really pay taxes not just hand back to uncle sam part of your government pay.like teachers proffesors police fire defense workers contractors that build prisons roads and government buildings.
trickle down my bottom it trickles up to the rich from taxpayers who by the way have increased taxes on those making less then 35,000. a year for the last 4 years cause i checked out the tax tables and did the math .it is not much only 5-40 dollars but when bush says tax cuts who is he talking about.
WE have serious problems that go un-attended.

What is it about illegal immigration that Americans do not understand?

I read this article no too long ago: Some one broke into your house, did your dishes, made the beds, did your laundry and now they are demanding that they stay. You say no cause obviously they are in your house illegally. They state that they cleaed your house and you should be happy and now they want be on your insurance policy and go to school with your children. You still say NO, you broke into my house and are here illegally. Now they get all their friends to picket your sidewalk and state that they deserve to be there cause they cleaned your house. Then Ted Kennedy shows up there with them. What do you do?

It is insulting to everyone that is here legally and worked hard to get here. All illegal's should be ashamed of themselves and their supporters too. And please spare me the "we are all immigrants" or "we are all here illegally" crap.

America has been in trouble in the past facing terrorism and is in the risk to face it again (as all countries are). How can it still claim it can ... help ... other countries and protect them against terrorism???

Do you think that if America keeps a lower profile then conflicts can minimise to a minimum? Or is it a culture thing that Americans feel so much in power on the planet to keep a low profile and this pisses off the weakest races that invented an unethical war (terrorism)?

Once the Conservatives lose power in 18 months time, the can of worms will be opened. I for one cannot wait to see what 'State Secrets' Bush has hidden.

By teaching what "they" think is important, are "they" dumbing down americans to make them more dependant on government?
Why are the school systems still failing to teach what will make them sucessful in life and not just "work for the machine - check to check"...and pay taxes or make a career of collecting social benifets.

I have examples of contentious questions asked here by so called Conservatives, and they answer concisely without resorting to insults. This is because their arguments are normally well founded. Conservative just say, anti-american, leave america, bush haters. WHY DO YOU NEVER HAVE THE CONFIDENCE AND FACTS TO ANSWER Questions?

I will give examples on additional details soon.
