  in bible times, slavery in israel was cool.

  today it's hot in israel.

  "3,000 women are sold each year in israel's sex industry, in transactions with an annual volume of $1 billion.

  This actually is a huge problem throughout the world. Some groups claim there is currently more slavery now than at any other time in human history. While the only country I can think of where people are sold at action in public is the Sudan, nearly every western country has a huge problem with the sex/slavery issue. America, Japan, Thailand, China, Saudi Arabia, Brittan all of them have huge problems with this. Sex workers, and women in general, in most parts of the world have no power, that is one of the reasons I think this problem never gets solved. There are other reasons as well, but they are of a more controversial natue.

  i'm assuming ya'll knew that....i was really suprised though, in reading the decision...that the phrase "in a nutshell" was used by the judges in writing the decision....i didn't know that was proper legalese.

  By the way, also today, a judge in Sacramento ORDERED Cruz Bustamonte, (the Lt. Gov. running in case Davis gets booted) to take out of his campaign coffers over $3 million he illegally put in from the Indian Gaming community

  And Bustamonte showed the judge his middle finger and went ahead and spent the money anyway. Its likely criminal charges are going to be filed, god my state is an f**kin zoo.

  In california the punch cards have not been a problem for 40 years, I have no idea why 3 weeks before an election they became a problem.

  Two things, cold war logic and so what. Does that mean we can never oppose dictators because at one time we failed to?

  Here JT here is the rest of the quote, quoting out of context is very JW like, some people never change. His point was a 'so what point' in that even if everything he said was true so what does that mean. Does that mean we can never oppose dictators because at one time we failed to? It deserves an answer, neither you nor him have a valid one. I would like to know what is his point, is it that only morally spotless countires can right wrongs? Honestly its a mindless argument based on childlike moral standards.

  JanH had considerable powers of sarcasm, he was entertaining. But the guy looked like Jesus on crack. He must have weighed 90 lbs. So I would have to go with Simon who appears to have more bulk and a healthy metabolism on his side.

  dictators that were supported by past American administrations

  Two things, cold war logic and so what. Does that mean we can never oppose dictators because at one time we failed to?

  Afghan massacre

  I remember, one source, no confirmation. That had more to do with it than any other reason.

  being Godless people and all

  I dont condone killing godless people because I am a godless person.

  Why do others hate us so much? Its that type of arrogant attitude that the gets you hated through out the world. After 9/11 would't have been better to work through the rest of the world community to come up with a resolution?

  So they hate us because we dont want their pity?The world community of which you speak is incapable of ever solving any problem. Rawanda, etc, etc,. The world community wanted the status quo to exist to protect French, German and Russian contracts for weapons and oil.

  No one wants terrorism and would like to see the end of it all

  Not true, some groups and nations thrive off terrorism.

  We can justify anything with shallow minded, school Yard bullying mentality Why don't we all go back to watching WWF wrestling?

  Nice attack, was there a point to it?

  there is a time when war is necessary, when all other options are exhausted

  How many UN resolutions does it take for that to become an exhausted means?

  Seems to me that coming from a control religion like the JW's we would be a little more skeptical of what is being fed to us as truth and question it a little. The world is not all black and white. You can talk around the question all you want but the problems all go back to an old book written 4,000 years ago. A book full of old superstitious ideologies.

  I am sekptical but I dont have my head in the clouds. I do question, but dont accept biased sources. I agree the world is not black or white... actually I agree with the rest of that sentence.

  Anyway it is costing you the tax payers billions of dollars just occupying Iraq and Afghanistan, that could be spent on things like home land security, medical care, schooling, veterans benefits etc. Also its costing you American lives everyday.

  How much did 9/11 cost the American tax payer? Anyway it seems like some of the same people screaming over the cost of Iraq where screaming that we were not spending enough in Afghanistan.

  • Schooling - its funded enough money is not the problem
  • medical care - government funding is not the solution to the problem
  • Vets benefits - yes they need more money

  Other Points:

  1. I dont think bringing a democratic form of gov. to these people is a form of abuse.
  2. No one wants to take away their right of self government

  My honest take is that no one is next. We are going to try to get Iraq right. If we can get some form of functional stable democratic in Iraq it would go along way to winning the WOT. IMHO.

  NK, thats China's baby they are going to fix it.
