Here
is a CNN article explaining how rude we are, as a society. The part that caught my eye was this:
I'm not the first to point out that Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, talk radio -- all of these give us ways to behave rudely with immediacy, scope and, often, anonymity.
Which one of those seems out of place from the rest? And then this:The boorishness of Kanye, Serena and Joe was immediately disseminated, deconstructed and debated. The public has shamed and judged them. Each issued apologies. (Although U.S. Rep. Wilson seems to spell his: "I'M $$$ORRY.")Hmmmmm.... Two words, over a month and a half ago.
This whole article seems to be partly about rudeness, and partly about partisan politics. I wish that opinion writers would not try to disguise their political opinionated programming as something else.

This post is about 'negotiating with terrorists'.
Here
is a video where foxnews questions the ethics of it.
A source claiming that foxnews
negotiated with terrorists
.
And
here
foxnews talks with Somali Pirates.
Sooo... is this all hipocracy?

This
one isn't so much a news article as it is a video clip of a republican commenting on the size of the healthcare reform bill.... which is 1,990 pages long which is also shown. That thing is one big bill. It has more pages than the recycle bin. I bet it has more nonsense too.

I skimmed most of it at one point. I can't say I'm any smarter because of it.

Your link just crashed my computer. First time any link has done that. My processor can't take that much BS, and it can handle mudfish links, if that says anything.
And now, for something completely different:
"When your husband is a plastic surgeon, then the scalpel is your friend."

I'd say it's stuff like this that is the
cause
of the world's problems.

I agree with you that he should have kept his mouth shut until he had all the facts.
The racist here is the little scrubhound that saw a black man fidgeting with a door, and ASSumed it was a break in.
I love how one sentence comes immediately after the other. You point out the mistakes of one person, and then immediately make that mistake yourself. The person who reported the percieved break in made no reference to race at all, and who knows what the guy was doing to his front door. The woman saw some dude trying to break down a front door and she called the cops. Makes sense to me. If I was a professor, and I locked myself out of my front door, I'd call a locksmith, not kick the crap out of my front door... but then again I'm not nearly as intelligent as him.
Oh, and this:
Its hard to talk about race at all anymore, its like running across a mine field being chased by tigers.

If we start catering to terrorists then people might begin to see incentive in terror.

You think people blow themselves up without incentive?

Not every terrorist is a suicide bomber. I'm sure people have different reasons for what they do. I'm just saying we shouldn't add to that list of reasons.

So, in a war, a smart country will never sign a treaty then?
