That was the response given to the officer's question about Craig running his hand under the bathroom stall divider.

Honestly, do YOU pick up toilet paper off the floor in public restrooms?

I'm no liberal and I DO agree there is a problem.

I've been reading a lot of articles on coal mine fires in China, indonesia and right here in the US on the levels of polution being spewed into the atmosphere.

They number into the thousands according to many sources.

This link is only one and I can't verify it's validity.

What is your opinion? Could it be one of the larger culprits?

How can Dems ignore the lives wasted by using nuclear bombs needlessly?

Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, Commander in Chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, reflected this reality when he wrote, "The Japanese had, in fact, already sued for peace.the atomic bomb played no decisive part, from a purely military point of view, in the defeat of Japan."

Admiral William D. Leahy, Chief of Staff to President Truman, said the same thing: "The use of [the atomic bombs] at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender."

... Russians despise America because FDR took so long to help fight against Hitler.

I'm not saying whether Russians are right or wrong. But, I am telling you the impression that FDR and the Dems left upon generations of Russians.

Why did Dems & FDR ruin America's image?

No more quagmires! Not against wars, just POINTLESS and NEEDLESS wars. Such as Spanish-American war, Korea, Viet-Nam, Iraq part II.

The USA should only fight wars that serve a purpose such as the Civil War, WWI, WWII, The First Iraq War. Wars to liberate the oppressed, free nations that have been taken over, and stop genocide.

The USA is in the wrong, but the Bush Administration will not admit it.

glorious leader Fidel Castro support Obama and Hillary. This great news, and I pride if this dreamteam wins election. More pride, because both these pioneers will follow in footstep of Arafat, and even more pride bring peace to palestine.

Today, I read that Taliban received 20 mil in exchange for the South Korean hostages, and announced they will use the money to buy new weapons.

The question is, would it matter how much money they have, if there weren't weapon producers willing to sell them? Wouldn't it be more effective to cut the weapon sales at the source? These people don't produce weapons in Mars, they are all legitimate businesses in developed nations, aren't they?

All developed nations are against terror. So, why don't they stop weapon sales to terrorists?

personally their vision of some vast empire in the middle east including much of Turkey and parts of Iran and Iraq is a bit grand and the blood lust they have is enormous. The are listed as terrorists:

But the media is painting a picture of a bunch of really nice guys just trying to farm and getting bombed:

As always I am keen to learn your opinion especially if supported by some solid thinking.

Who else thinks that the guy known as 'billy j' and 'bill b' and 'sun g' is not actually a Nazi or BNP supporter but a liberal that is trying to give the BNP an even worse reputation then they already have.

Would the over 100,000 dead innocent iraqi civilians be alive without the Bush invasion and occupation? Would the over 1 million iraqis who have fled their homes and country and become refugees have done so without the Bush invasion and occupation? The chaos, mayhem, carnage, and civil war that is going on in Iraq right now, the ethnic cleansing, the civil war, would all that be going on without Bush having invaded and occupied Iraq?

What was the reason, we invaded iraq again...I mean the reason back then, before Shock and awe was started.....oh yeah...something about Iraq having stockpiles of WMD, and dangerously near to having nuclear weapons capability right? Did we ever find them?....does it matter? no? why not? cause we are the USA, and can invade anyone we really want ..right?

And why are we in Iraq now?....to free the iraqi people and bring them freedom?

I wonder how the 1800 dead iraqis dead this month feel about that?

as an Englishman who is currently in the USA on business i feel i must ask this.
As we are all aware, the US army are the worst, but why should a country that spends so much on warfare be so terrible at shooting the right people.
It would be my advise to the US army to let these so called soldiers practice shooting some guns before throwing them into the desert.
Anyone agree?
