Question

Get Real - please rant if you want to. We would like to hear you speak out, but obviously not just anbout the obvious.

It can be voted on!
Sent from the UK. They have always distracted us. News readers deliver the distraction. It is as if the events abroad and such as Northern Ireland, are needed by them.

Answer 1

Not just a distraction but the total cause of all the mismanagement displayed by Blair and his gang. The unelected bureaucrats of Europe putting their politically correct oar in, Bush and the gung-ho Americans dictating our foreign policy and the open-door immigration scheme which Blair and Brussels cobbled together have all left Britain in a dreadful state and something must be done.

Answer 2

i don't think what we are doing in iraq falls under the heading of international meddling. the only mistake i see that mr bush has made was in thinking that the american public would back him up no matter what, if i rememeber right when he committed us to the war he told us that it would'nt be easy. in today's world we can not take an isolationist stand like we did prior to ww2. the world has evolved to much we are too dependant on other countries for goods and services. as far a whether we should be assuming the role as world police, i think not half the world depends on our ecomomy, the problem is it's the same half that we are fighting over there.
if we were planning on ruling the world we sure are going about it wrong, we should be starting with the countries along our borders first especially to the south, seems to me if we toook over mexico and made it into states it would be a start toward solving the immigration problem. because in southern mexico the fence would'nt need to be so long thus easier to patrol.
take over mexico and build an inpenitrable wall at it's lower border.

Answer 3

Texas Rose is absolutely correct. The other countries have no business what so ever in saying how we handle our day to day lives. As far a the UN, they are a total useless bunch. Why is it that we American tax payers have to pay the biggest share of the expense of it.
I'm was going to go on a rant here so I will just shut my mouth and leave it alone.

Answer 4

Very astute, quite a bit I think. Saving Africa, or perhaps, the Planet, always provides a good distraction from achieving absolutely nothing back home. In fact, they have moved into negative territory, because, they are actually destroying all the good bits.

Answer 5

the situation reminds me of a poor family who have a daugter who marries well to do businessman, she circulates among his freinds and begins to enjoy the lifestyle, she dosent go to mouthers much anymore, she dosent like the down beat area or her mothers poorly furnished house so she looses interest.
can you imagin british politicians not engaging in world affairs and jetting all over the place at tax payers expence, can you imagin all their work and meetings to be held in wigan and birmingham, having to spend time looking after neglected britain instead, and loosing all those perks. Britain is the last place on earth they would be interested in.

Answer 6

Some people didn't like my answer about the UN.....but when the UN stopped an execution in Texas....I was pi$$ed! They had NO right to interfer with our state's laws. You people need to be aware of just how hramful the UN can be to us...citizens of the U.S.

Answer 7

considering that Bush refuses to let anyone else distract him from his purpose, not nearly as much as Chirac and Co. want..LOL
