I think they have mixed up the words "fighting" and "singing".

On myspace there are advertisements and profile for a concert to "fight for human rights" in Darfur.

I thought a concert was SINGING not FIGHTING. A concert is a publicity stunt where a bunch of bands(usually ones running out of money or PR) play music and hope leaders start to feel bad about what they've done, have a change of heart and decide to let their people live in peace and harmony.

Got news for ya, that never works.

"FIGHTING" for human rights is like participating in world war II where jews were massacred by Nazis. Fighting for human rights is catching a mad man in the middle east that practiced biological weapons on his own people.


Woodstock and "Rock for Darfur" = SINGING, dancing, smoking ___, and f_____.

World War I, II, Iraq, ect... = FIGHTING dictators that kill their own people(or people next door) because of religion, culture, just feel like it and/or not practicing basic human rights.

The Great Purge refers collectively to several related campaigns of political repression and persecution in the Soviet Union orchestrated by Joseph Stalin during the 1930s, which removed all of his remaining opposition from power. It involved the purge of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the persecution of unaffiliated persons, both occurring within a period characterized by omnipresent police surveillance, widespread suspicion of "saboteurs", imprisonment, and killings

WASHINGTON - Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte told Congress on Wednesday that Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf is an "indispensable" ally in the U.S.-led war on terrorism and that "partnership with Pakistan and its people is the only option."

I'm getting alot of negative feedback from an answer saying that Nazis condone the most support population control. Do people actually think that population control is acceptable and won't lead to something similar to the Holocaust?

Cons have told me:
- if you think the deficit spending was bad under Republicans (like Reagan and Bush), just wait till Democrats get in office
- if you think things are bad with Bush just wait till Democrats get into office. We'll be reading the Koran by christmas.
- sure the economy grew fastest under FDR but if he had used supply side economics it would have grown even faster

This is the type of things I hear from cons.

Why are we suppose to believe them when they said:
- the economy would go into a recession after the 1993 Dem Omnibus Reconcilation bill (the economy grew every single month Clinton was president
- Iraqis would greet us as liberators
- that the war would pay for itself with oil proceeds
- that the Mission was Accomplished
- that the insurgency was in its deathroes
- that the insurgency would die down after elections
and
- that the insurgency would die down after executing Saddam

I know that YA suspended his account.

Last time I communicated with him, I had asked him how many A Ha accounts he had.

He replied back with 9.

I assume he will come back with his 10th account.

But it looks like YA tossed him too.

What a shame.

I think it's pretty ridiculous. Here we have another lapdog of Bush who is just trying to smooch with the world's superpower and bask in that power. I bet so-called conservatives are just ecstatic that Bush has one more influential, legitimate crony in the world. Sarkozy, of course, is careful not mention Iraq because french citizens are overwhelming opposed to Bush's policies. So what is Sarkozy doing with Bush?

This is getting to be utterly ridiculous.

Missing in action: Surthnlyts, Spartacus, Private Deek, Brian, A Ha # 9, and Sharia.

I also had two accounts deleted for in two weeks also.

When will this insanity stop?

What's with this new recent Yahoo censorship?

Even Lamplighter, (Whom I disagree with 99%) had his account deleted.

Will you please help me fight for Brian and Surthnlyts?

The best part of asking this kind of crap is watching everyone try and make sense of it. More than likely some yahoo will actually take the question serious and give a politically heavy handed answer with conviction. If you are that guy...you need to have yourself evaluated.

-GM recently renewed contracts with their union, maintaining benefits and salaries for older workers, but allowed them to hire new employees and pay younger ones less and offer fewer and inferior benefits.
-much more legislative attention and taxpayer money is funneled to Medicare, Medicaid, social security, and healthcare for the aging and elderly...and not nearly as much to any other demographic (i.e. pregnant women, children, etc)
-social security will likely be bankrupt as the 20 and 30 something’s near retirement. The system doesn't have enough workers to support it and just after the baby boomers finish their retirements and begin to die, everyone else is going to get screwed. By 2030 more than 1/3 of the people in the US will be at or over 65 yrs old.

Why is the most successful, spoiled and pampered generation in American history fleecing everyone under the age of 35? the rest of us aren't going to have it nearly as good.
