Politics - 22 August 2006

Can you claim that the casino stole your money because you don't have it now and they do?

Then why do the Palestinians who fled Israel in 1948 claim their land was stolen? Clearly, they were gambling that is was only temporary (based on the advice of Arab leaders...who told them to leave to avoid the bloodshed). The upside of the bet was that they wouldn't get killed by the Arab invaders by mistake. The downside was that they'd risk losing their land.

Some Pals were smart and sold their land before they fled and some Pals didn't bet at all but instead stayed and today they live as free citizens in Israel.

Yet Israel gave the Pals who left a 2nd chance. Right after the war Israel asked them to return...why didn't they? They thought they'd be accepted by their Arab brothers. Only when they realized they were mistaken, did the Pals change their minds and want to return... but that's sort of like saying, I'd like to change my bet now that the die have been cast.

You wouldn't expect a police officer to trust a suspect who changes his story 4 times, why should I?

Is anyone else worried for our future with so many republican haters? They need to get over themselves! Why do they think Republicans hate other people... are they really that ignorant?

How would you feel about Bill being back in the White House?

According to an article in Time Magazine it's all a distinct possibility...her running for office, that is, and him into manipulation. I personally couldn't stomach another Clinton in office. Too much a reminder of how Bill made a mockery of it, ruined some lives, thumbed his nose at our judicial system, and embarassed America - with Hillary and her fake smile standing beside him. The cigar jokes will start all over again.

Would you vote for her?

In a democracy, if 51% of the electorate vote to abandon democracy for another ideology then democracy stops in that society.

Please let me know if there is an obvious error in my hypothesis.

Does this mean that a democratic state can be overthrown simply by high birth rates of a group that chooses to suppoort a different political system or even a religeon?

The group would have to have enough motivation, a good infrastructure and a 100+ year game plan but I see no defense provided by a democracy with a 5 year electoral period.

Maybe I am the first British citizen to ever consider the question but I doubt it. I am no genius.

...or am I not being politically correct?

It was a thought-provoking look at the aftermath of Katrina. I now despise the federal govt. for their lack of concern for its citizens.

I don't think people realize that it could be much worse. If Kerry had won, the war would be here on our soil, not over in that third world **** hole Iraq. Bush is doing the best he can given the circumstances.

Subject: Re: your answer

Message: It's sad that you're so delusional.

But if you won't accept reality, and refuse to believe me when I tell you what to think, then it's obvious that you are so wrapped in in your beliefs that no amount of rational discourse will have any effect.

So, go enjoy your little fantasy world. If you can't face reality, that's your defect.


again the liberal says "But if you won't accept reality, and refuse to believe me when I tell you what to think"

and this guy posted a question yesterday asking why people bash each other.......typical marxist., too blind to see the forest because of the trees.

It doesn't make much sense.

Clearly getting pulled from line and thoroughly searched at the airport for maybe 5 minutes is less invasive than having all your phone calls monitored.

Why are Republicans all for wiretapping but have a real problem with being searched at airports?

When every single poll conducted shows that the vast majority of Americans are moderates, why are we letting two small extremists groups split our nation apart? (Radical right and left)
