Politics - 23 July 2006

Say there was a homeless guy walking down the street. He colapses, and he is rushed to the hospital. He has no ID, no family to report him missing, nobody has any idea who he is.

It turns out he has a rare disease that can only be cured one way. By having someone continuously give him a blood transfusion for 9 strait months.

Obviously nobody should be forced to give the blood transfusion, that would be like rape. Lets say however that the hospital sweetens the deal. They set up a rullet wheel with 200 spaces. If you spin the wheel you get $20. If you land on 00 however, you get plugged into the guy.

So you figure what the hell there is only a 1 in 200 chance of hitting 00. So you spin, you lose and get plugged in. Nobody forced you to spin the wheel. It was your choice that got you where you are. can you unplug? You knew the potential consequenses of spinning the wheel, nobody can be blamed but you. Unplugging will kill this man. Should you be allowed to do it?

by the way this is directed to all the believers of the official account for how and why 9/11 happened, in otherwords this is for all you here that still believe that 9/11 was perpetrated by the 19 alleged hijackers (which by the way 6 of them are still found to be alive) from Al-Queda (which by the way we help funded) who all were amateur pilots (if that at all) and hit 75% of their targets with a 100% success rate in the world's most controlled airspace also on a day where we were performing simulated terrorists exercises where we were using planes as weapons and it just so happened that one of these targets that were being taken into consideration just so happened to be the Twin Towers and it also was the only time in the 50 year history of NORAD that we stood down and also another first for NORAD was that Vice Pres. Cheney was in control of the shootdown procedure and, NO wait i know i could go on and on but i'm running out of space to type so i'll just say research it yourself...

Going on vacation before 9-11? Starting the Iraq War? His handling of Hurricane Katrina? Borrowing a trillion dollars from Communist China? What do you think history will remember as President Bush's greatest accomplishment?

I read a few months back that Halliburton has been ripping off the government and overcharging the government for loads of stuff, and since Cheney and Bush and some other GOP slimebags are huge Halliburton shareholders, shouldn't they be charged with embezzlement since they are part owners of the company and have control over what the company does ?

Bush has dismantled the Constitution and is taking away peoples civil rights and freedoms, and isn't it the Supreme Court's job to make sure the Constitution is being protected and how come the Supreme Court won't stand up to BushCo and start protecting our freedoms and civil rights ???

if you add up all the people Bush murdered in Afghanistan, Iraq, Guantanamo, and in New Orleans by not even giving them any food or water for days, has Bush murdered more people than any other American president in history ?

Let us assume that the American War on Terrorism is what they say it is and not lust for greater control of world resources and the gizmo show to keep their domestic audiences entertained... Lets assume it was to bring peace to the world...
But what you are achieving is alienation of half of the humanity and suspicions among the other quarter. You can't kill a billion Muslims if they don't agree with you. You can't even keep them under your thumb because nobody likes that.

The present strategy is increasing terrorists exponentially and generating hate against America at even faster rate... does that make the world better or worse?

It seems we only have a plan A which is counter productive. What is the way out? Is it not for those who claim to be civilized to answer this or are they as suicidal as Osama?

5 years ago the US was brutally attacked by religious fundamentalists, yet today we have borderline traitors like Sean Penn, Al Franken, Cindy sheehan and Michael Moore who do everything in their power to undermine the American war effort as the USA literally fights for its existence.

Would it be right to seek revenge on him? What about attacking, not just his house, but two or three houses past his house as well?
Now say this neighbor to your left brutally injured or killed your kid. Does it follow that you can increase your response to the entire city block?
If not, why have 30,000+ arabs died for an insane 19?

There are so many people out there who say "It is there fault" and points across the border to the other side. But when you read a story like this, and the truth of the authors words, can you really tell me its worth it?

is there anyway we can speed up a criminal sanction in the European Union or International Courts and get Bush, Cheney, and Rove to face war crimes and mass genocide charges in a world court while BushCo is still in office ? Or do we have to wait until his term is over with or until he is impeached before we move ahead with such action ?

If radical Islam takes over this countrty like it is doing in Europe and many other parts of the world, will you assimilate by beating your wife if she shows her face in public and teach your young children to kill those that disagree with your ideas.

Many American citizens regardless of their crime have been imprisoned without any charges, no lawyer representation, and no trial. Why are republicans against this? It just baffles me how much they are close to communism and despot law

The American media and most of the Washington lobbyist groups are right now being run by jews and due to this many Americans think that Israel is their friend. If the media was being run by another group of people who were not jewish, do you think America would still be puppets for the zionists in Israel ?

I mean seriously, people. That's not the kind of word you toss around. So you disagree with Bill O'Reilly, we get that. But calling him Hitler? Geez. If this country ever was overrun by something like the Third Reich, you'd have no vocabulary left to describe them.
How can we have intelligent debate if you answer everything with "nazi propaganda"?
