The only thing I can think of is a hijacking.

oh right the congressman was planning to hijack the plane on his way to work.And alan thought that.

He probably thought he would get special privlidges all the way home because he is a congressman.

anyone who expects a blue collar worker, executive or even a unknown comic to be treated with the same optimism and courtesy as a congressman is delusional

It still amazes me that **some** people don't get the message yet and haven't figured out that if someone makes a fair criticism and you say "yep, you know ... you're right - that sucks" then there is no argument and bad feeling. It's only when people try and defend the indefensible that they start getting all upset and feeling threatened. I guess it's easier to shoot the messenger than accept the message sometimes.
There seems to be a rediculous notion with some people that everyone must accept that their country is the best and most accomplished in every aspect and this is clearly a laughable notion.

Simon you made a lot of assumptions about what other people think. You also speak as if you are always right and everyone else is wrong, everyone that ~~doesn't get the message~~ doesn't agree with your opinions.

Why I think Bush is scary

by Simon in

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4767542/ in woodward's portrait, president bush is single-minded, and possibly simple-minded, in his resolve.

he seems to have relied more on divine guidance than the considered opinions of his top advisers.

bush told woodward that as he approached the final decision to go to war, "i was praying for strength to do the lord's will ... i'm surely not going to justify war based on god.

Its a plot between Bush and Blair to get the midleeast to blow itself up. Bush funds Pakistan Blair funds India and they have at it.

Don't fault Kerry: after all his latest anti-Bush tirade actually has
a lot of merit. He is accusing Bush of working with the Saudi
government to KEEP OIL PRICES DOWN in the US

OH MY GOD! NOT LOWER PRICES! HOW WILL WE SURVIVE??? GOD HELP US ALL!

lol!

Personally I'm surprised at farkel for giving support to the religious
right in the USA . I really thought he was much more liberal than
that .

?

I had to look it up...thought I had it all wrong

How different is he from some leader on the other side who claims to be doing the "will of allah" or whoever?

He is not claiming that it is the will of god that we go kill people in other countries. You are taking things out of context. He is simply speaking as a persom who was brought up with strong religious convictions like those of many people. Him including that in his speach may not be the brightest thing to do and he probably shouldn't do it but it is quite a leap to compare what he said to the rantings of a mad man who leads his followers with pure hate toward any and all other race of people.

If you are afraid of Bush then you do have troubles. He is the least of this worlds worries.

question: why are humans worth more than animals?

by Realist in

jw
friends

ok putting religious reasoning aside what is a rational reason why humans are viewed worth more than higher animals?

why is a human worth more than lets say a chimp, a pig or a cow?.

neurophysiological studies show that animals suffer probably just as much as humans....but similar to little children they cannot understand the pain and express it as human adults can.
