Who has a tv license?

are you a conscientious objector..lol



'LEXY'... it's called dirty business.


Years ago, when satelite TV started, many viewers took the BBC to court on the basis that they did not have to pay for the licence because they did not receive or watch any BBC tv. Thet all won their cases and so the court orderd that the BBC should not charge them a tv licence. So what hapens ? The BBC decides to place its BBC tv channels on satelite and now, whether or not you choose to watch it, even if you subcribe to SKY you still have to pay the damned licence.


- I don't like paying it... I object to be forced to pay for something I choose not to buy !! - I subscribe to SKY and watch only my fav documentary channels and read my newsapers for news. I NEVER watch the BBC nor does anyone in the family. -- So much for FREEDOM of choice !! Any expense FORCED upon you can only classified as THEFT !!


Another thing, London luxury hotel with, say, 500 rooms with a TV in every room, pays for ONE licence... A retired, old, poor married couple whose only entertainment is their small black and white, TV have to pay the same licence and the same amount that the luxury hotel. So much for FREEDOM !





A year or so ago I read that the BBC were considering charging the license to anyone who had a PC and internet. LOLOLOL.... because you COULD somehow watch their programs on some pirate website.




We don't have one actually! I don't want to pay for one as I don't like what the money goes towards, and besides, we live on my boyfriends parents land, in one of their old farm buildings. Even though it's a mile away, technically I think our tv would count on her license... maybe!





Anyway, we used to live in a flat and we couldn't afford the license so we didn't have a tv, but we'd still get threatening letters every few months, we lived there for years and nobody ever came round, it's all just empty threats.




Its something we all pay for im afraid so we dont really get a choice if you dont and you get caught you could pay up to 1,000 pound for a fine.I agree with what you are saying but the license its self is to pay for you to have a receiver anything capable of receiving television pictures you have to pay for.x




If you haven't got one you will be shot. The government need the money to pay for their "information" to be broadcast 24hrs a day. They do this in the forlorn hope that we will to the party line. Welcome to communism.




i d not own a tv so i do not have to pay


i just have the internet and watch the bbc for free on it's i-player


mmm free bbc its yummy




They will come knocking sooner or later if you don't have one and then you might go to prison it is a serious offence.




Everyone who does not want a hefty fine for not having a licence




long words your using and your a blonde lmfaooo the world will surely end soon




Me

So, GM

I love how Obama has given him the choice to make it look like he's offering himself up as sacrifice. Now he can move on and live off the millions he made off of the company he ran straight into the ground...what a standup guy...what a load of crap!



Seems to me that would be GM's call and not Obama's, wouldn't it? However, it will soon BE Obama's call, since the government will be running most private businesses before too much longer. After all, with all these bailouts, any business benefiting from such money will then have to answer to the government regarding all business decisions...




because the board of directors didn't have a no confidence vote on him...





the stockholders representatives felt the decision making by the CEO wasn't suspect...





do I personally agree NOPE





do I think the government should be making the decision NOPE








however one thought to keep in mind is that when companies ask for monetary injections from banks it is not uncommon to see similar conditions.. either appoint x number of board members that serve on the banks board.. or hire/fire certain execs...





IOW it isn't uncommon to see this kind of condition to money.. but i am not happy with the government making those choices




That is how it goes, they try to be nice by asking you to resign if you refuse then you get fired. Either way, he was out of there.




Just like everybody else, If you perform on a sub-par level Most companies will ask you resign. If you refuse, they fire your a*s*s




This should concern all people in this country. Regardless of how poor its operated once you let the government start dictating we all have problems.

Ok . im looking for a category so i can ask and answer questions suited to my Intelligence?

with the view to becoming a top contributor, so any suggestions to where i can post and answer



errrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmm is there one for rubber clad biking policemen? Or talc maybe? :))




I'm only a level 4 and I received TC for Newborn & Baby and Current Events this morning. It must depend on the number of best answers as I'm not on that much.





EDIT - Queen of answers is wrong. I've been banned twice on this account. It was my sweet messages that regained my account.




It depends on what level your intelligence is.





Remember top contributors have well over 500,000 points


without being banned





The key is to try all of them and find your interests AND categories where you have real answers.




Not possible. You can only do your best to ask intelligent quesions and only answer those that show some intelligence. there are some of those even though a lot of the questions are just plain stupid




If you could be more explicit with the level of your intelligence with possibly your expertise in the subjects, I am sure that one of the many Very Clever People on answers will try their best to accommodateyou.




Your typing and punctuation skills aren't up to scratch which doesn't look particularly intelligent to me.




Matches your intelligence? Hmm, Im thinking Polls and Surveys.





At least once a day you get the 'what is your favourite colour' question.




Very witty, in the Jonathan Swift use of the word, though a little more allegory might help.




try the lambrini vintage years section


the only competition there is Steph




Homework Help??





Theres a TC badge going begging there. muhahaha




Try here, I got one and still have NO idea why, i'm far from intelligent and I mask my bad spellings with spell check lol xx




Computers and Internet, if it works so other folks see your smarts.




Check out all the different categories and choose the one you feel is up to your standard.:)




You've come to the wrong place mate




yahoo shopping rofl




If you were that clever,you'd already know.durrr




dogs? no?

Obama has forced out the CEO of General Motors?

DETROIT ?Time and time again, General Motors Corp.'s board of directors reaffirmed its support for Chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner, even as the company piled up billions of dollars in losses and begged for government loans to stay alive.





But Wagoner is now a high-profile casualty of government intervention, forced out as part of the Obama administration's sweeping last-ditch effort to save the century-old auto giant."





Does our current administration have this kind of power, to 'fire' top people from their jobs ?? Your thoughts?



Soon they will be picking up wealthy people and confiscating their assets, just like used to happen in the old USSR. While calling for taxpayers to be responsible spenders the Obama administration waste billions to pay back campaign supporters.




"The Plan"





Crash the economy. (spend on social welfare programs)





Government take over of industry and banking. (cars, money)





Government confiscation of all bank accounts over $10k. (rich people don't need all that money anyhow, and it will balance the budget and increase the coffers for all the social welfare programs)





Government decides who gets what and on what day of the month.





Ask Fidel about it - real similar ideas going on in Washington today.




If it's already been done, then clearly they do have that kind of power.


And just as you stated, they have begged for more loans to stay alive.


Why they were not removed from office before is beyond me.


But good to know where my taxes went to.





I personally think it's a waste of time. No one should care about these big business going under. They should put that 17.1 Billion dollars into schools, into making the people smarter and more capable of moving past all this economic crisis drama.





People got too greedy and thats why the world is as crappy as it is today.




As long as that company exists through public financing, then yes. If the taxpayers are paying the bills, then the company has to accept their wishes. Obama represents the taxpayers, so I guess he has the power to make executive decisions.


Let's just hope he makes the right ones.




Yes. We should expect nothing less because they are asking for taxpayer money. It's a sham though. Why aren't the bank executives being kicked out and all of those key players? No - they are rewarded with "retention payments" even as they walk away.





The status quo is being maintained. Don't be silly. Don't think otherwise. Obama is not that different from Bush. He's seriously constrained.




Yes and when there is a labor strike he will use the military




It seems so if he has already done that

Is there anything more disgusting that builders breakfast flavour crisps?

yes chilli and chocolate lol




I quite like them actually :P Strange really as I don't like baked beans. The fish and chip ones are disgusting to me, as are the chili and chocolate and crispy duck ones!




I have tried them all and whilst chilli and chocolate are VILE, builders breakfast are even more VILE.





Fried egg flavour crisps with a hint of baked beans. Disgusting




No,,as soon as youopen the packet youcan smell the builders breakfast from the day before..They stink of fart!




I don't like them, but they are clever - I recognised several distinct flavours on one crisp!




Yes, having no breakfast at all, as happens to many children right here in the UK




Builders Bumcrack flavoured crisps?




Yes, Vodka and Milk is more disgusting. Tried it at Uni. *shudder*




I wasn't keen on the Hoi Sin sauce ones either.


I do like the Cajun Chicken ones though they're really nice




Dolphin Flavour?





Coming soon to a shop near you.




Yes, the fish and chips.




i like builders breakfast




the fish n chips dey were just...EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW




just the smell of them is enough to give me the boak!!YUK

Why did we not see Jacqui Smith apologising to the public instead of her husband apologising to her.?

He did nothing illegal watching a bluey on TV.



I want to know why we have to pay for her bloomin TV in the first place.


AND - Why she and that other git arn't being jailed for stealing our money for their 2nd home.


DISGRACEFUL


Should be sacked - immediately.


Rest assured - if it had been any of us poor mortals - the book would have been thrown at us :-(


Politicians - rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr




She didn't do anything wrong did she. He watched porn and claimed on her expenses. It's right that he should apologise. Poor woman. How embarassing! How annoyed would you be w your husband! Not the watching porn bit -that's natural - but claiming on the expenses for all to see??? ahahhahahaha! oh dear.




because he was the one who was beating his bishop :-).and he did wrong by claiming the cost,which us, the taxpayer had to pay.i'm not happy paying for him to pull his plocker.are you?




Because she's like Fred Goodwin (I deliberately omitted Sir) - hard faced and will not admit she's done wrong. Why do you think her husband watches porn?




Because 'SHE' is still too busy trying to duplicate HERR diary so as to not be caught out on HERR claims for Housing Benefit!





Or..... Maybe 'SHE' couldn't get out of the GIMP SUIT?




Because she's a petulant ******.




Omg, at this rate two tins of cat food could bring a whole government down.

Obama has authority to rid General Motors of its CEO?

Does the U.S. Constitution 'allow' our President to 'fire' the CEO of General Motors? Where did Obama get this authority?



If Obama was so displeased with the way GM was being run, why didn't he and the Dems in Congress insist that GM change its leadership BEFORE loaning the billions? Also, the money is a loan, not a purchase of controlling interest in the company. A POTUS who has never run a business, and whose only experience is running for election, now believes himself able to run companies as large and as complex as GM. To top it off, he now wants to replace the entire board of directors and replace them with who he wants as directors. If he appoints GM directors the way he chooses members of his cabinet, GM won't last another three months.




OMG, I am sick to my stomach, to all you people who think this is wonderful, let me ask you a question. If a company goes to a bank, and borrows money does that bank have the right to fire that CEO? Not to mention the CONSTITUTIONALITY.


We are headed toward Communism!





One more thing, Lincoln said:


"Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties. And not to Democrats alone do I make this appeal, but to all who love these great and true principles".


and:


"It is not merely for to-day, but for all time to come that we should perpetuate for our children's children this great and free government, which we have enjoyed all our lives".


and last but not least:


America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.





President Lincoln, believed in freedom and had a great love for this country, I wonder how he would feel, that the very people he fought and died for, are at the helm of the destruction of the United States.




He didn't fire him, he applied pressure. If a U.S. President asks the CEO of General Motors to step down and he doesn't, it's not going to work in their favor when it comes to sales. Bush should have done it years ago, because Wagoner has been taking GM nowhere fast.




He did not "fire' anyone.





"Wagoner said in a statement early Monday that he was asked to "step aside" during a meeting with Obama administration officials on Friday, and he consented."





Done deal.




The taxpayer is now a majority shareholder....it's as simple as that and has nothing to do with the constitution.




Perhaps from presidents Lincoln and Ford.




If they want his help, they must comply. It is ultimately up to them.

Football Hooligans........?

I am referring to the near riots in Belfast on Sat afternoon between Irish and Polish football supporters.


Can anyone tell me why Football ''fans'' behave in this way?


It seems to me that this kind of behaviour is unique only to Football supporters-you dont hear of near riots at Golf tournaments for example!



your right it is a football thing, never have I seen anything close to this at any rugby match I have been too.





all you have to do is to look at the football section on yahoo to see the mentality of those involved.





the drink fueled football casual is still very much alive, but alcohol cannot be blamed, look at how much is drunk by rugby supporters.





I think football attracts the yob culture plain and simple




I can't stand football...nor the violence that follows it.





Players, with lower than average intelligence, paid an absurd amount to kick a ball around a pitch, fall over and act like they're dieing, Oscar wining stuff...Wives and girlfriends, so full of plastic implants, they'd melt in extreme heat, skinny bleach blonde thickos who think it's cool to have a partner that shags around and treats them like shite.....





As for the fans, and NO not all before I get slatted, but there seems to be a chavfest of followers that want nothing more then to fight for the name of their team. Dressed in Burberry caps, cheep trainers, 9ct gold sovereign rings, tracksuits or their teams extortionate shirts, they parade the streets like a pack of demented baboons, red faced, due to all the alcohol, acting like neanderthals and proving to people like me, that they and the sport are shite!!!!




I don't understand it. Giving themselves and the teams a bad rep is hardly support. Go to any rugby match and there is no segregation of fans and a lot of good humoured banter. I don't know about other stadiums but at the Millenium Stadium you are able to purchase alcohol in the stadium during matches and there are no problems with violence.




alcohol and rising tensions between the hundreds of thousands of polish who have gone to Ireland and the locals





throw in a recession and a football match and you have the perfect recipe for an international pub fight




I am afraid this is just down to drink fuelled hooligans , they get all hyped up with a few beers in them that they cant control themselves , it has nothing to do with football just that so called fans with bad behaviour problems




well i cant tell u why some fans act this way. probably coz they do not know any better way to behave. or are just mindless hooligans with no worth of self

Coleen Rooney pregnant?

Do you care or are you pleased a new generation of little''' spudfaces'' will be born?



Awwww shrek is having a baby...will it be green and ogre looking I wonder.





May I join the bi*tch fest.....I am the queen when on top form lol xx





No you womble...go to MY blog and read.....duh lol xxx




I read somewhere a while ago out of 100 women surveyed would they sleep with Wayne Rooney to get Coleen's wardrobe and 90 said no they wouldn't, says it all really, she must insist on having the light off.




bet they have a surgeon on standby to pin back the ears





I wonder if sir alex will be doing the pregnancy coaching








omg mini wayne Rooney's what a thought





EDIT





Damn lol looks like your attracting a fan club judging by a couple of the answers here




Oh, wonderful. Now she'll have another silly program airing on TV.





"Coleen's Real Babies."




I hope you don't ever breed, I think this world already has enough nasty little bitches!




Mini shrek ha ha ha couldnt really care less but it'll be worth a laugh when he/she is born lol




well whoever the baby looks like, it's gna b screwd especialy cos its gna have short legs one way or the other




I don't care for the news.


What a beast of a baby that will be.




old news, this was asked on here about 20times yesterday

I didn't know and it's good for them!




May I suggest an ABORTION?





Now where did I put those knitting needles......?

If the war in Iraq was for oil, when will we start to see profits?

The war in Iraq was not for oil.




Profits for corporations. Tax payers not so much unless you happened to have shares in Haliburton or Blackwater.


Not to worry you will get something out of this war. The Bill.




The war cost more then the oil, there is no profit, only loss. Anyway, there was no guarantee that anyone will make profit out of it.





There is never any profit from wars. Its just not possible.




Wars make more money than any other event..............sorry to burst the bubble of some replies.





And "we" never wanted the oil.




You won't see any profit as long as the Iraqi government refuse to let anyone take their oil. So I will say never.




you won't, because even if there was a profit being made, it's all getting spent on.....the war




you won't see the profits. Ask Bush and his gang where they go.




...who's "we"

Following from my TC question - can anyone be a TC of all sections?

Not to brag but it's just added Current Events to the Newborn and Baby one.





Is anyone a TC (Top Contributor) too all sections I wonder?



Ohhhh how big is your head lol, watch that door hun, you might get stuck in it!!





I have been after one in Special Education for a while, but with hardly any posts there it's gonna be tricky. I never expected this one and was shocked when I got it.





After being a bad girl in Polls and Surveys for a few years and this being my 19th account (oops) I'm sure when Yahoo work out it's me, they'll take it back :-((




Its 3 categories maximum




Nobody could genuinely know that much.Im sure it is possible tho if you had multiple accounts




the limit is 3 sections




only me.

Ulrika Jonsson on Piers Morgan

She admitted that she was "screaming in her head 'no'" when she had sex with John Leslie. A shame she couldn't have actually uttered the word before accusing him of rape and ruining his career.





She also spilled details of her and Sven and how he was sl@gging off Nancy. She giggled when Piers asked her about having 4 children by 4 different fathers.





Nice lady eh? She did have lovely hair thickening extensions though. She was very thin on the roots but lovely, thick hair at the bottom.



LAI?





LET ALL INSIDE!!




Getting a little bit away from Jonsson. i never watch anything with that Piers Moron in it. people seem to have very short memory's. this was the man as edita of a daily paper printed fake pictures of british troops torturing Iraqi people but as yet i've not heard him openly and properly apologise to the troops and their family's.. then he go's and jumps on the bandwagon of Support the troops. ya right he does a complete 180 in such a sort space of time. right and we're to believe he's had such a change of heart. as for jonsson well can't really say what i think of her. i mean if she were just someone from the streets you know what most people would think of her then but because shes a so called celebrity its all funny and ok.




I watched this programme and she never said who it was however she did not say No it was not the person we all "knew" it may be. So my guess is it was him but like you say pity she did not act sooner when the situation was occuring.


I think what i got from her interview she is one troubled lady who has difficulties forming relationships down to her abadonment from her mother in her youth.


I am not a fan and never will be and she did come across as someone unhindged.




I am suspicious of anyone who had been raped and then choose,instead of reporting it to the police as anyone else would do,instead revealed it in a book.I feel so sorry for her poor kids knowing their mother will basically sleep with anyone-the shame they must feel!




She is a ....... '4x4' ........ had more hits than a second hand dart board and 'proud of it'.





I don't think for one minute that she was raped and to allow a man to be vilified like that is a disgrace.





No offence here but Piers Morgan is weird, bordering on perverse, have you seen him leering at the girls on X factor?




Saw the previews and in all honesty I wouldn't watch anything that woman was in...unfortunately she was in Celebrity Come Dine with Me, and watching that just confirmed my thoughts about the woman...Spiteful, bitter and vindictive. Oh I forgot a slapper too!




Damn I missed it, I was watching gardening through the ages on the other side!!! Cant say I like her much, from what I have seen of her and for a woman who is supposed to be Intelligent she does and says alot of stupid things.





edit. Thanks prob ITV2 will have a look then




since she has admitted she suffers with LAI*, we can now confirm





the best part of UJ is left on the seat, whereever she sits down.

















* LAI, Light Adult Incontinence - she was on a piece on radio4 recently




ulrika jonsson now theirs a name i have not heard for a while nothing but a sl@G





Cathrine R she probably dropped her knickers for one of the judges




She said herself - she couldnt keep her knickers on





I cannot stand the woman and god only knows how she won Big Brother - must have been a fix.




I think she should stop making money out of incident until she says one way or another who did it. I hate this smug "I'll never tell" attitude whilst accepting cash.




Can't be doing with her - awful woman. But I don't think she ever accused John Lesley of rape - at least, she never named him - someone else dobbed him in on live TV!




I watched about 5 minutes then turned it over.




I live in Sweden and nobody has heard of Ulrika here. I was fortunate enough not to see the programme.




No





Dont like Ulrika - she seems unhinged some how?




no, and your picture is nice




i hate her.





Domme what is LAI?

11-the average age a child is first exposed to porn?

List five good and five bad things about Nancy Pelosi?

Taking a poll here on Sunday afternoon.......what do you think ?



There is nothing good to say about her. The bad would take all afternoon to list, suffice to say that she's a liberal lunatic.




Good ones first:





1, She was the first woman to be elected Speaker of the House.


2, She gets the job done without whining.


3, She dresses very tastefully.


4, She treats everyone with respect.


5, She loves animals.





Now for the bad ones:





1, She refused to impeach bush and cheney.


2, She will not consider bringing charges against either one


for war crimes!


3, She is obliously not thinking of the future.


4, She could meet with Obama and have ALL of our troops and


our equipment out of Iraq in eight months, but won't do it.


5, Unless she pulls the democratic party together, she will be replaced


next year.




I was always told if you can't something nice about a person, don't say anything at all. Nuff said.




I can't list 5 things either way except to say she wears fabulous shoes




Mother always said if you can't say anything nice about a person, don't say anything at all. So here it goes:




Their are no good things.

Who had the key on KCA?!?

Who had the key to the slime volcano on KCA last night?!?!


I had to go to bed 20 min before it ended!!!!!



The jonas Brothers. It wasn't an actual key. it was them singing the key of g. lol




the jonas brothers, they sang it on the key G for green




The Jonas Brothers had it


i think




oh kelly clarkson did not have a slime Volcano but her concert was cool




Never showed....they ened up doing some trible dance

Your View On Sir Fred Goodwin? Express Them Here Everyone!?

I just want to know what you think about a man who has been partly resonsible for leading us into recession.



I%26#039;d get arrested if I told you what I think should happen to Goodwin.Don%26#039;t forget we%26#039;re being monitored at the minute by the police,ahead of the G20.


Ok then.Off with his greedy f*ckin head.I%26#039;d be first in the cue with the sword,then lets go after the other stinking rich W(B)ankers and give them some too


Can you hear me porky?




If you feel that he is in some way responsible, then the government have done a good job in making him a scapegoat. They are wholly to blame and have offered him up to screen their own inadequacies. Don%26#039;t forget it was them who gave him the pension that they now claim they are trying to stop him receiving. He was also employed by them after the collapse for a time as an advisor to the government, so who%26#039;s kidding who.




Since his knighthood was given to him for %26quot;services to Banking%26quot; I think it should be taken away.





I rather like the american Idea that all bonuses and pensions paid by baled out banks should be subject to 90% tax




he took what he was entitled too whats the problem

High School News Show Segments and Topics?

What are some good topics and segments to feature on a high school news show?



How about a roving reporter who asks questions. Or, the latest stats on bullies, a health segment, interview a fav teacher, ask a sports jock some questions about another topic entirely. Have fun is all, oh, don't forget something really funny every time.




something exciting that will interest them like whatever you are interested in a lot of them probobly could be as well sports too the ncaa tournament is going on right now mens and womans you could print out the scores online and report them or maybe ask a few students who they think will make it to the final four i know people at my school are interested in this even the teachers are talking about it alot!!!

Have you ever been bullied?

By something random. there was a story today about someone's Sat Nav leading them off a cliff and not ten minutes ago I was bullied by a friend's keyboard.


When will these incidents of computers bullying people stop? When God tell me?



my car hates me, i don't do sat nav, but i have spent loads of cash getting the motor sorted but it has a habit of randomly cutting out. its really dangerous as everything locks up and scares the sht out of me. just when the company tell me everything is ok it happens again. the last time i was on a fckn roundabout and ended up on the island in the middle and the time before that it stopped in front of lights on the steepest hill imaginable. im sure the thing has a mind of its own.




yeah i was bullied at school, but i fought back and battered the school bully but the next day i was chased by the whole school for doing it but as soon as i got into school nothing was said. the moral of the story is even though you stick up for yourself you always get someone else that takes there place




Yes, a number of times in Grammar school but I held my own and was able to take retribution later. Only once was I bullied at work, in my first job in the bank. This older man treated me badly and one day I lost my temper and gave him a good thumping and it landed me in front of my manager. The chap I thumped never spoke to me ever again.




When i first started out on computers made the mistake of taking the monitor lead out when the computer was still on, i got a "kick" which smashed my hand of the wall. I learnt the hard way.




No. I don't take crap from anyone.


I don't fight, I'm just truthful to people who try to think they can bull me or others. Their ego gets busted and I win.


Woo, party time, let's bust out the Root Beer.




never ehard of this he he quite funny!!!! my oven bullies me it is called MR HYDE it comeson when it feels like switches itself off when it feels like and drives me nuts.....salads now!!!! GRRRRRR TEBA OVENS!!! MISBEHAVING!!!! OVENS BEHAVING BADLY....do you think this would catch on as a sitcom????




I'm bullied mercilessly by the Yahoo Browser and Microsoft. Also my computer sneers at me if I try anything new!




*sniff* yes. Some people on here tried to bully me and my daddy had to ask them to stop. I think I'm mentally affected now and will need to see a shrink. *stifled sob*




yes i was bullied for years


the guy that bullied me went on to sexually assault a young girl and eventually wound up in prison




If you are waiting for God to tell you I think you need to go and have a lie down.




Yes, my television has been bullying me for years now.




I was bullied by a broom before..Stood on the bristle bit and whack!! ouch!




None can bully you unless you let them.




You cant be bullied on the internet ......... you just turn it off.




As a child yes lots of times - as a adult NO WAY I take no cr*p from anyone




I'll bet that you appear normal. See a shrink immediately.




Yes my washing machine picks on me. It thinks it's funny to hide half the socks

Should we revert to violence to defend the animals being skinned alive in china?

Holocaust material. It's been years since the videos of animals suffering to the max came about. Dogs and cats been thrown around and beaten in cages and then they are only lucky if they die before being entirely skinned. Other ghastly ways of killing them are still happening. No laws against yet despite protest and donations.



I do think we could try harder, but you must remember it's in China...they pretty much do what they want if you haven't noticed.





Either way, for you to say we should hurt people to show people that hurting animals is bad, it's complete hypocrisy.





Although I do agree, it's a bunch of BS what they do to those animals. I saw a video of one guy just walk on a dogs head for no reason, he stepped on it then just walked away. They have to resort to a puny, defenseless animal to feel all mighty, idiotic.





Cultural purposes are different, but to savagely beat them and torture them, then rip their skin off while they're still alive, and not kill them after they're skinned and in severe pain is absolutely absurd.





I'm a big fan of do what people do to others...big fan.


I mean come on, yeah "terrorism" if you will, will serve no actual "purpose" but to let them know what it's like and let them know what they've been doing to another human/animal.


I'm not suggesting do it to every single person who screws up, but to the severe extremes like this, something needs to be done to those people. Not killing them or anything, but maybe ripping their penis or big toe off or something...haha.





But realistically thinking, resorting to violence is plain stupid. I'm not a fan of violence really but it should be stopped and every person who partakes in it should be punished.





PETA is pretty ridiculous though, I think that entire organization should be shut down. It's all crazy people who go way too far to protect an animal. They're all against keeping animals in cages, yet I'm sure they all have a pet or two, and whether you like it or not, a dog in a backyard is still in a cage...





I dunno, I think it should be stopped, but I'm not about to piss China off, no thank you.




And who do you think you are? You must be some impressionable kid or an adult who brain has gone all mushy. Thankfully the ALF in the UK has been proscribed a terrorist organization for using violence against humans to 'protect' animals. The UK government should have been tougher. In other places they would have been shot as a just dessert.




Using violence to defend animals? that helps nobody the people you fight against are the people who wear the furs and trade in them. I think its digusting to kill an animal just for its skin to look fashionable. At least every part of a cow and pig gets used. What i find truly disgusting are people like PETA, and the ALF who use terrorism to save the life of what? a rat in a cage!




You know I just don't understand this mentality, Don't worry about murder and rapes in Darfur, 11 year old kids being tied to vehicles as protection in Gaza, or the people being brutalised in Zimbabwe. That doesn't matter





But touch a fairy little chick and god help you from the wrath of the animal liberators!





I don't condone animal cruelty, but that's what happens in these countries, its happened for thousands of years and just because you feel a bit squeamish isn't going to stop it.





I can just imagine you trying to talk a Lion into vegetarianism as it stalks a Zebra.





Yes its wrong, but I am sorry, there is much more in this world that is worse.




Yeah! Let's use violent tactics to "punish" a nation because they do things we don't like. Hmmmm. That sounds familiar. Didn't somebody do that to us back in 2001? What some cultures do to animals is sickening, but what you and several of the other posters are proposing is nothing short of terrorism. I understand what you are saying, but rhetoric like this is dangerous.




It's not China but Thailand where puppies are killed and eaten, and the meat considered extra tasty if the animals suffer before being slaughtered.


Let us remember there is that about our own culture which others find repugnant. And then remember the saying about those who live in glass houses...




the most disgusting thing i have ever seen on tv was an animal being skinned alive and after its fur was taken it was still alive and screaming in agony





horrible




Yes. Those poor animals need all the help they need.




If we have to....yes.





Let the people who torture another living being be tortured in the same way.





It's only justice. There is absolutely no reason why an animal must be tortured before dying or be skinned alive. Cultural differences don't validate those actions.





To those who give a thumbs down to anyone defending animals....thanks! It shows how small your brain is!





Edit: Just because something has been happening for thousands of years doesn't mean it should continue to be tolerated. Rape, murder, brutality and torture of humans has been happening for thousands of years but that doesn't mean it's ok. People need to stop looking the other way and trying to justify their ignorance with the difference of cultures. There are some things we as humans should allow and some things we shouldn't....the torture of animals or any living being is something we shouldn't.

Kerry Katona looking for a new man?

Kerry Katona has allegedly gone back with her husband as she feels that no one else will want her.


Given her new surgically enhanced super-body would anyone on here like to volunteer?



Basically, forgetting all the celebrity nonsense, I feel sorry for her as a human being.





She clearly has drug problems, and must think very little of her own self-worth to a) consider surgical enhancement and b) take back someone reported as being a real lowlife, as well as stating she feels no-one will want her.





She is annoying and far too 'in-your-face' for my tastes. But she definitely needs some kind of help before even entertaining a relationship.




I think Kerry's right, no one will want her at the moment, she's taking drugs, going bankrupt she is a mess, but I hope she does eventually turn her life around, and get rid of Mark Croft. I don't think she will though so my opinion is she will remain a waste of space. That's a real shame.




The second she opened her mouth and let that screech she calls a voice out you would be hard pushed not to shove her in a cupboard




She is the scum of celebrity society




No thanks one fruitcake is enough for me, left one took up with another.




DONT KNOW ABOUT LOOKING FOR A NEW MAN I THOUGHT SHE WAS LOOKING FOR A NEW NOSE!




No thanks.




she seems to need a bit too much attention for me




Not me.lol




We know this is you kerry...stop being so desperate. lol

Journalists seem to know a little about everything and not much about anything, true or false?

Yet, the are always talking on TV about complex issues which they do not understand. Especially, statistics, math, economics and accounting and budgeting. Absurd people.



If they are journalists they really only need to report the news. But they don't just report anymore very often.

How does this news article sound to you?

good morning,





A 22 year-old student was rushed to hospital on Friday night after a fire left him in critical condition.





Anoop Saha Panigrahi, second year chemisty student at Berhampur University in Orissa, India, was rushed to Maharaja Krishna Chandra Gajapati Hospital, late friday night after experiencing life threatening injuries due to a fire he had lit during a power failure.





Anoop Saha was found on the Berhampur University Laboratory floor after collapsing....





ideas to finish it off would be highly appreciated, as well as some constructive criticism



it is pretty good, but all those big words throw me off and its hard to actually want to read it with those big names all piled up. i dont know if u should put "anoop sasha was found" after all of that maybe before the 2 paragraph . and it really doesnt matter how long she was a student. sasha was found in the lab and rushed to the hospital with life threating injuries.

Why didn

I thought he did sweep right over the idea of the U.S. drug problem on 2 fronts. The first area briefly extolled as being overhauled is the Medical costs due to so many doctors owning stock in their products like Pharmacea which fell under "controlling the costs of medical care"; and second the creation of new border patrol jobs along our borders in Texas which can help tremendously in curtailing illegal drug supply. They are linked due in part to the vast number of t.v. ads that promote drug usage which conditions the American public that drugs are okay at any cost! That form of blatant advertising tends to instill in most people that drugs are available so why not become dependent upon them. One thing I cannot find is fault in his speech about any persons responsibility for ones own actions. If you choose to smoke dope or inject heroin, that is a personal choice which is beyond the control of anyone except the person making that choice.




Because the issue isn't about the U.S.'s drug abuse problem. The issue is about Mexican drug lords crossing the border into the U.S. and kidnapping and killing U.S. citizens, which basically fits the dictionary definition of not only TERRORISM but ACTS OF WAR.





This is much, MUCH bigger than a bunch of American losers smoking weed or snorting coke. This is about large organized groups from another country boldly crossing our border and attacking our citizens. The Mexican drug cartels have all but unified themselves into their own governing organization - the Mexican government not only has no control, but the drug cartels have been attacking and killing thousands of Mexican police officers and soldiers. And a handful of American police officers have already been murdered.





This is not about "drug abuse". It's about a direct threat to the sovereign rights of two governments. We have accomplished exactly dick in Iraq - it is time to reduce our presence there and reallocate our troops back here where they can do some REAL good. Which is by bombing the crap out or the Mexican border.




...Did you even read what you just typed?





Obama didn't address the U.S.'s drug problem because he was asked ABOUT MEXICO.





Last time I checked, Mexico isn't the US.




He probably wasn't told by anyone what to say if it came up and it wasn't on his teleprompter.





Obama is just a puppet




Nancy Pelosi has not given him permission.




because the media is all biased and love obama




Uh oh, did his teleprompter fail him again.

What would be a good topic for a column in a college paper?

I'm applying for a position as a columnist for my college's paper. I think it would be fun and give me some experience as an english major. My question is, what would be a good topic to write about? I live a pretty simple life. I'm not really an "expert" at anything. So what should I consider? And also, what is the set-up of writing a column? How may words does it take? Advice please!



People graduating at this time of year, new students coming in fall, how liberal and miss guided some liberal institutions are. Politics of who is not telling the truth is always a good one.




You could write about new business opportunities for media and journalism on the internet. You can also focus the piece on the growth of users out of countries like India. For example, my company just launched www.SportPass.TV in India and we are looking for help/advice/articles on growing online media businesses in India. Everything we find seems to be very U.S. focused. I'd be happy to help you with a quote or two.




scandal column, teachers cars spotted on principles drive, that sort of stuff.





If that's too racy how about a chess column?




Fun things to do, or go to in your area in the spring.

Do you think that it is inevitable that there will be a dirty bomb?

if there was one say in london what are the emergency procedures.


what should one do?



If you ever learn anything learn that FEAR IS A FORM OF CONTROL OF THE MASSES.




If there%26#039;s going to be another dirty bomb (yes, dirty bombs have already been used - Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed by very dirty bombs indeed) then, judging from history, I%26#039;d be more concerned about which government is going to sponsor the next bombing atrocity.





But if London was to be struck by a bomb, I%26#039;d suggest bending down, putting your head between your knees and...





Or paint your windows white and put a paper bag over your head.





Don%26#039;t worry, just make sure you always know where the nearest pub is, just in case.




No I don%26#039;t think that it%26#039;s inevitable.





If it does happen I don%26#039;t think there%26#039;s anything anybody can do about it....because we%26#039;ll either get blown up or maybe get cancer?





HOWEVER - surely there%26#039;s more chance of meeting numerous other ill fated ends like being run over by a bus etc....than of being a victim of a dirty bomb?





Just enjoy life and ignore people who try to scare you, whether it be terrorists or the bloody government...I mean whats the difference anyway?




The threat is real, even this government would not put out a false alarm.











%26quot;Changing technology means the prospect of a chemical or biological terrorist attack in Britain is now more realistic, says the government%26#039;s updated counter-terrorism strategy published today.%26quot;(March 24 2009)








We have 3,000,000 Muslims in the UK now, most may be %26quot;law abiding%26quot; meaning no %26quot;active%26quot; part in terrorism; however IF only 2% are terrorists or supporters this means 60,000 Islamic terrorists OR active supporters in the UK.Let%26#039;s face it, the mistake has been made allowing such a %26quot;community%26quot; to be established in the UK and the danger is real




The first thing to do is get the f*ck out of there.ASAP.Is it enevitable.YES.Look at the troop homecoming and those muslim knobthrobs who spewed their hatred for them.They would nuke us soon as look at us.


Its time the scum were sent home to their dirty little homelands.It will never happen tho.To many do-gooders and PC shiteholes for that




Nothing of the sort will happen.








It was also highly irresponsible of the government to say a terrorist attack is imminent.





Again, it%26#039;s all designed to keep people paranoid and fearful




I can only echo the thoughts of many - I hope there will never be one.





But the world now is a dangerous place: and sadly anything can happen at any time. No one is safe anymore.




this is the first issue government and people think about, terrorists... but not always there are incidents and disasters could happen anyway.




yes its just a matter of time where an when but it probably want be a dirty bomb it will be a nuclear bomb just put your head between your legs an kiss ur but good by i pray that i am wrong




Well I don%26#039;t think they%26#039;ll bother polishing it. :-)




They%26#039;ve been around for ages.





If one goes off, just stay indoors for a few months!!

Does the media run your way of thinking?

ok right the fat C*nt is dead did any of us really like her before she died the awnser .. no we diddnt,


well done she got cancer lets now love the fat cow because shes dead ... no i still hate her,


y did she aplogise for her racist slur .. because no 1 liker her then so she aplogised for good publicity.. if no 1 cared she wouldnt of sed sorry


but now shes dead we all gotta act like she was a god/princess/the best of briton,


well unlike most of u the media dont controll the way i think, yes she had cancer... did she deserve it ... yes she did more then i do or most other people.


if u heard of sum foul mouthed racist anoying idiot in your street n she got cancer would you really care? no u probaly wouldnt. thats my point





now my question all you people that are about to write bad things about me do u accept that ur thoughts are run by the media and u dont really have a mind of yourself????



of course the media affects the way of people's thinking but bit differs from one person to another and their point of view on matters and their cultural backgrounds.


In the case of Jade Goody, personally, i took the whole thing as a lesson in life that everyone should check their health regularly because you never know who's next to have this kind of disease.




No because i can always see behind the lines and use nature to explain the constant bombardment of bullsh@t that attempts to divide the mind and keep it in a colloquial box. I pity the quagmire theses people find them selves in. It reminds me of watching horror movies where thecharacterss are always portrayed as living in a self consuming. destructive purgatory.




They try real hard at doing it. Hopefully you take everything with a grain of salt and make your own decision which is hard to do because both sides are usually not presented.




Since most people voted for Obama and his Obamunism, and knew nothing about the man, the answer is obvious.




They try to. But I don't let 'em.




thats is messed up no matter who dies to me that no joke

What is your conspriacy theory?

What the ones that are still out there that your curious about?



I know, I know....thumbs down for me...


but, it has to be 9/11.


How those towers fell like they did.


The fact that the DAY it happened, one of the firemen said and I quote "they looked like those casino's they blow up in Las Vegas".


He said it, and others did as well, on LIVE television.( I was glued to the TV for two weeks when that happened. Had a kid home from Army basic training, another kid already in the military, I wanted to know everything about all that !!)


Iron and steel doesn't burn like that to cause how they fell. They should have toppled over. Given the scientific and engineering expert descriptions and explanations I heard repeatedly!!


And from Demolition experts as well. Made a heck of a lot more sense then what the public was being told to pacify us.


Why there are no "wing" marks on the Pentagon when the plane hit. Just a hole. If you look at the tower when the plane hit, there are wing marks but none at the Pentagon. (those wings are like 100 ft. long)


When the plane crashed in the Everglades, at the speed it was, it went instantly POOF...Yet, the found most of that plane and reconstructed it. Flight 98??? The debris they found? A man could carry with one hand???


I don't know....I don't think we'll ever know. But so much just doesn't make sense......




Mafia offing both JFK and Bobby as retribution for their fathers broken promise that if his son got elected president, that things would be easier for them. Daddy was in cahoots with the mob from his old rum running days and supposedly Sam Giancana and Trafficante had something to do with offing the sons after Bobby announced, unknown to daddy when he initially made the promise, that he was going to step up prosecution of the mob after being appointed AG.




Barack Obama was actually planted by George Bush to keep Hillary Clinton out of the Whitehouse. According to "The Arab Grapevine" the Bush's knew there were no Republican candidates who could beat her, so they recruited Barack and passed the word around for Republicans to vote for him instead of John McCain in order to keep American troops in the middle east. Ingenious!




that man kind has never gone to the moon.








There are sooo many things that back this up. Like, how come we can't go to the moon now without soemthing going wrong while 30-40 years ago or so when the race with russia was going on, we were? also watch the "first steps on the moon video" thing you see different shadow directions when the only light source on the moon is the sun? and also in the video you see the flag moving indicating some form of wind - there is no wind on the moon. look it up.




Why the administration pushed for AIG bonuses in the Dodd amendment, only to raise self-righteous indignity when the American people went ape.




Mine is that B Hussien Obama really is a plant from Osama Bin Laden.




Hey, mustalaf: are you really that s****d to believe your self?




The world wakes 7-4-09.


NO DOUBT OBAMA IS THE ANTI-CHRIST.




how the us can't find osama

If Osama Bin Laden shaved his beard and put on a suit could he work for AIG?

Interesting point. The bankers have hit America way harder than Osama ever managed, yet they are being given taxpayers money.




i doubt it





he hardly looks a picture of health and would be too expensive in health care and sickness benefits.....better he stay in his cave festering




for what? Bin laden is already wealthy beyond your comprehension.. don't let the clothes fool you.




Im not sure he isnt already, he always wanted to put the screws to our economy....




Nope. He'd have to gain about 100 pounds too. There's a reason fat cats are called fat cats.




He worked for the C.I.A. under the name of Wallace a long while back




He is not a crook.




he he if the truth were known he probably does or at least got a big bonus from them !




??......???.....????......sure




i laughed when i read this question...for some reason :S

Yeas ago there was a craze people trying to go over Niagara Falls in barrels,?

Did anyone ever do it and survive?



Yes,several. One was a female teacher who took her cat with her-both the woman and cat survived. More recently two people have gone over the horseshoe falls without barrels and survived, and a boy in the 60's went over after a boat accident and survived. It would be hard to make it to the falls with a barrel now, it's illegal to try to do that.




I have heard of several people who have made the jump and survived, there was a recent incident about a month ago in which a bubble head jumped and survived the fall, the man was rescued by helicopter and taken to a hospital in Buffalo, NY unconsious with hypothermia and several broken bones. I would have picked truth instead of dare.

Is it true that Obama is part Irish?

i heard something about that his mom is part irish. is that true, or just a rumor?



Yes. His mom has Irish heritage and so Obama also has some Irish blood in him too.




He%26#039;s an Offaly man.





His earliest known relative, his 6th great grandfather Joseph Kearney, was a member of a Dublin family of wealthy wig makers who included an Irish politician, Michael Kearney. Joseph moved to Shinrone and married a woman from Moneygall called Sarah Healy in 1760.





Joseph great-great-great-grandson was Fulmouth Kearney. He was a farmhand from Moneygall who emigrated to the US in 1850. He settled in Ohio and later married, having eight children. One of his daughters Mary Ann, (Obama grandmother who died on Monday) married a man called Dunham and gave birth to a girl named Ann.





Hence the O%26#039;Bama.




Obama is also related to 29 Presidents of the United States, so chances are he has some Irish ancestry.




I don%26#039;t rightly know, But, His mom is an U.S. White, n%26#039; I%26#039;ve heard that 40% of U.S. whites have some Irish ancestry.





Cheers.




I%26#039;ve heard he may also be part American.




yeah he made that comment during the party elections




Yes, he is part Irish.




It is true

What is a really bad thing that happened recently from lying?

a young high school girl was raped by two boys when she lied to her parents about where she was going to be. She thought these boys were her friends, but I guess she was wrong.




Judge Marcus Einfield was jailed in Australia for lying about a speeding ticket, he tried to say someone else was driving the car (speed camera got him) & the person he named had died before the offence was committed!




ever hear of Bernie Madoff???


Obama got elected.


AIG got bailout $$$




Madoff.

Does Obama wear lipstick?

or are his lips really that purple?



yes they are really purple. ew.




He borrowed it from your house.




i wouldn't doubt some makeup for the cameras!




are u racist? he's african american u dipp sh*t

What is this

I%26#039;m trying to learn where this phrase came from: %26#039;Israel%26#039;s right to exist%26#039; and what it is supposed to mean.





Seriously, who has a RIGHT to exist? Did the Assyrians or Hittites or Babylonians have a right to exist? What about Austria-Hungary or Prussia or Yugoslavia? East Germany, South Vietnam?





What does this mean? And please answer the question relative to what I%26#039;ve asked above.



First of all, the phrase itself %26quot;Right to exist%26quot; has become widespread already prior to Israel%26#039;s creation. The sentence %26quot;Every nation has the right to exist, and to protect and to conserve its existence%26quot; has been used extensively and a similar sentence is even incorporated in the Unites Nation%26#039;s basic principles.





Now.. what Israel requests is for its neighbors to recognize its basic right to exist. Some of the countries/organizations in the region, namely Iran, Syria, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and some other deny Israel%26#039;s right to exist as any other nation and call for its destruction. Not only that, but they also show it through actions by engaging in terrorist and militant actions against Israel and/or supporting such through funds, training and equipment.





The problem is that denying a neighbor country%26#039;s right to exist means you have the justification to attack it, through such reasoning. Peace can only exist when 2 countries who accept each other%26#039;s right to exist as a sovereign nation. Until that barrier is removed, peace isn%26#039;t an option. You gave the examples of the Babylonian empire and others.. well, the difference is that if any neighboring empire announced %26quot;Babylon has no right to exist and will be destroyed%26quot; would shortly after find itself in a war with Babylon ending with either Babylon or the other empire destroyed/annexed. Israel however in light of such statements is expected to sit tight, hold off respond and wait until these states which deny its right to exist develop enough military power to put their plan to action.





Even a minor operation in Gaza coming in response to rocket fire, with an extremely low number of civilian casualties relative to urban warfare, is denounced across the entire globe. So on one hand, Israel can%26#039;t attack those who deny its right to exist as those ancient empires could and on the other hand - Its neighbors don%26#039;t want peace and want to erase Israel off the map. The only solution is diplomatically request the entities around Israel to accept its right to exist, which is the first and one of the most crucial steps towards peace.




some of the Arab countries don%26#039;t accept Israels %26#039;right to exist%26#039;, they see it as an invalid nation and oppose the will of the United Nations. Israel asserts that it does have the right to exist given to it by the international community.





The yugoslavian countries that became independent were recognised by the United Nations as valid sates, but other parts of yugoslavia didn%26#039;t accept this, leading to conflict. So in effect Croatia asserted its right to be independent, and this was agreed to by a large part of the international community.




Israel claims it has a %26quot;right to exist%26quot; but will not allow any other countries in the region %26quot;exist.%26quot; That should tell you something right off the bat.





Any people who squawk about %26quot;rights to exist%26quot; as much as the Israeli%26#039;s do, obviously have chips on their shoulders and a victim mentality.





Israel will not be satisfied until it has annihilated every last Palestinian from their own lands...that they now claim for themselves. They are land grabbers, murderers, and above all lawless. They pay no mind to the Geneva convention, nor any international law and constantly pretend to be %26quot;withdrawing%26quot; from their terrorist occupation, and never do.





While you sit and watch %26quot;news%26quot; about Caylee Anthony, and The Octo-mom and mindless sports, you can be sure the Israeli%26#039;s are launching full scale attacks against the Palestinians. That is the real news that you will just never see.




I%26#039;m not 100% sure but I think it goes back to a treaty (or treaties) drafted up after WWII or one of the post WWII conflicts.




The powerful have the right to exist, and the weak have the right to perish. Fortunately, most of the world%26#039;s sovereign states will probably maintain their borders (give or take how the situation in the Middle East turns out over the next quarter century) as many industrialized nations today posses nuclear weapons, making an invasion of these countries highly improbably.





What you speak of is nothing new, as even the ancient Greeks struggled with this concept. I forget the exact name of the writings, but there was a great battle waged by a significantly superior military force on a weaker civilization. The weaker side hadn%26#039;t done anything to provoke the attack, but the mightier side did so solely because it could.





Only through our disillusionment of actuality by fictional media shows growing up do we believe that everything can be summed up in such simple terms as %26#039;good%26#039; or %26#039;bad%26#039;, %26#039;right%26#039; or %26#039;wrong%26#039;.





While it is undeniable that the Germans and Japanese killed millions, their reasons for doing so had been the same of a majority of the European powers that had done similar during a period of Colonization (like Spain in South America, and us in North America). Of course the advances in weaponry and transportation exacerbated the destructive and savage nature of the Axis powers during their conquest, but we committed similar evils when we fought them. In Germany and Japan, we burned to death hundreds of thousands (possible upwards of a million) civilians. This included many women and children. Of course we see it as a cost of war, the losing sides see it as %26#039;crimes against humanity%26#039;.





Israel has the right to exist only to the extent that it is able to maintain its military forces enough to do so. Had it not been for the original backings of powerful industrialized nations like the US and England following the war, Israel would have never come to fruition in the first place. And since then, they would%26#039;ve quickly been toppled had it not been for the billions in aid and weapons technology that we give them (for %26#039;actual%26#039; reasons that are never publicly discussed in the media).




In late 1967, after the Six Day War, official Egyptian government spokesman Mohammed H. el-Zayyat %26quot;stated that Cairo had accepted Israel%26#039;s right to exist since the signing of the Egyptian-Israeli armistice in 1949, but added that this did not endorse the recognition of Israel (raising the distinction, frequently cited since then by Arab leaders, between acceptance of the de facto existence of a state and the establishment of diplomatic relations with it).%26quot;





Upon assuming the premiership in 1977, Menachem Begin spoke as follows:





Our right to exist--have you ever heard of such a thing? Would it enter the mind of any Briton or Frenchman, Belgian or Dutchman, Hungarian or Bulgarian, Russian or American, to request for its people recognition of its right to exist? Mr. Speaker: We were granted our right to exist by the God of our fathers at the glimmer of the dawn of human civilization four thousand years ago. Hence, the Jewish people have an historic, eternal and inalienable right to exist in this land, Eretz Israel, the land of our forefathers. We need nobody%26#039;s recognition in asserting this inalienable right. And for this inalienable right, which has been sanctified in Jewish blood from generation to generation, we have paid a price unexampled in the annals of nations. Mr. Speaker: From the Knesset of Israel, I say to the world, our very existence per se is our right to exist!





He further stated that he didn%26#039;t %26quot;need Palestinian recognition for my right to exist.%26quot;, and that %26quot;Traditionally, there are four major criteria of statehood under international law. One - an effective and independent government. Two - an effective and independent control of the population. Three - a defined territory. And four - the capacity to freely engage in foreign relations. Israel is in possession of all four attributes and, hence, is a fully fledged sovereign state and a fully accredited member of the United Nations.%26quot;

What is the subject that you received memorable emails on?

I haven't been on Y/A for long so my experience here is limited.


I answered a question that involved Alex Jone's Obama movie of which i was critical. I ended up deleting the answer after about 3 hours as I received 3 searing emails about 1 per hour. These people didn't pull any punches and were quite nasty. I just didn't want to read any more of them. I hope they don't start up again now.


I am posting this in Current Events as I hope the responses reflect these issues.



any questions about catholics. those guys just wont let go




I delete and never open e-mail for this account I don't care what anyone in here thinks about my answers..




first time on so not sure yet

Why do people hate Miley Cyrus so much?

Why do people hate Miley Cyrus so much? I may not be a big fan of Miley but she doesn't deserve all the hatred.



because shes only 16 and will never have to work a day in her life. she made 18.2 million dollars last year. why? i dont think she deserves it. i think you should have to work to get what you want. i mean to deserve that kind of money. she sings woah big deal and she sucks anyways.




Because her acting sucks. I can admit, I do want to go see the HM movie. I don't know why, but I do. Anyways, she takes sexy photos, and gets away with it as if it never happened. The racist photo was blown out ofr porportion. She got way too much money for acting and singing. I can understand if its an academy award winning show, but its a Disney show. Come on. I agree, she does not deserve this much hatred, but she also does not deserve a lot of love.




well she needs to start acting more mature,i mean just cuz she is a teenage star,doesnt mean she can goof off all the time,and cuz she took those pics of her half naked.i mean im not going to hate her for her mistakes.everyone makes mistakes ,especially when ur a teen.she'll learn soon i hope




personally, i love miley





but the racist photo she was in probably turned a good few people against her


so you can count out all the asian population and whites against racism and that about covers all the miley haters




i don't know. people say she doesn't deserve what she has, but they don't know how hard she really works. i mean, just going on tour alone is a lot more work than most adults do.




Some people are probably jealous of the money that she makes but I have to admit she does act quite immature especially in the videos that she makes for youtube. People don't like immature annoying people




I don't think people hate Miley Cyrus. I personally find her very entertaining. I think she's the next Lindsey Lohan.




i dont care either way about her. shes just an entertainer, theres always going to be one that people absolutely cannot stand or absolutley love with out a happy medium.




I don't know. Adults shouldn't make fun of a little girl. I am not a fan either but at least she holds her head up high, if so many people hated me then I'd be a nervous wreck.




She was born into being rich and getting anything she wanted, we all have to work our hardest for our money. We have to give her something to make her life hard. Just like every other celebrity.




The haters seem to be teens which leads me to believe that it is jealously.




She is immature and sets a bad example for teenage girls.




Maybe 'cos her name sounds like a disease

What do people think about Glenn Beck?

My neighbor wanted me to watch this guy on TV.



If you like big government telling you what you can and cannot do then by all means don't watch him. If you believe that one third of all wealth created in this country on the backs of hard working people should go to the federal government to spend as they please then don't watch his show. If you believe that you should NOT have any individual rights that cannot be interfered with or impugned by the government then don't watch his show. If you think the government should take care of you from cradle to grave then don't watch his show.





However, if you are concerned about the path this country has taken over the past 20 or so years then you might want to listen in.




I think he's a far right fear monger and a bit off balanced. I've watched him several times, but he made me nervous thinking he was going to have a heart attack. His opinions are completely biased and his "rational" thinking is anything but rational.




Glenn Beck is one of the few good news shows out there right now. He isnt a Republican or a conservative, rather he belongs to no party and is a Libertarian.




If you're a Conservative Republican who will believe anything anyone says, then his show is right up your alley. If not, don't waste your time.




Watch for yourself and make up your own mind. I am an Independent voter watched him and like some of the things he reports on.




I watched him for about 5 minutes and turned on the Sanford and Son marathon.He looked like the kid we all beat up in school.LOL.




no better than rush limbaugh!




Another neo-nazi hack from fixed news. A year ago or so, he championed the idea that the apocalypse was going to happen last year.

Hey people did you tried it already?

I saw on the news today that they sell Dutch fast food now in America like kroket ect.. my question is..did you already tast the kroket and did you like it? And yes i'm from Holland and curious.



Haven't seen any around the Seattle area yet. I'll give it a try if I find one... what should i get?




I don't know were they sell it but if I happen to run across it I will try it for sure.




no




Never heard of it. What is it?

What are the bad side of Obama?

While I generally like Obama, there are a few decisions he's made that I rather dislike:





I wish he had been completely consistent in his application of the rule barring lobbyist-white house connections rather than granting exemptions


The secrecy behind the ACTA treaty in the name of "national security" is something I'm very unhappy about


I feel he should've returned the Omnibus spending bill and insist on earmarks being removed. He has promised this for next year because the substance of the bill predates his presidency, but I think he needed to begin this fight immediately.


The ties between the RIAA and his administration bother me - this is not so much a specific choice as a failure to exclude them





There are a bunch of things I would like him to do that he has not done too, but that'd be true of practically any president. Overall I like what I've seen so far, although it'll be a lot easier to tell what kind of a president he was after a few years.




He farts a lot...apparently




he wants to take away our guns!

Which person, in your opinion, deserves a knight hood but has yet being ignored?

Sir Jeremy Clarkson has a ring to it.




Bruce Forsyth. When I see all the knighthoods given out to people who haven%26#039;t done a quarter of what this guy%26#039;s done, it makes me so angry! WTF is so wrong with Brucie, eh? Hasn%26#039;t he brown-nosed or crawled enough? It is so unfair.

My old uncle Frank could do with one, I know that he stands on the corner with his shopping trolly, covered in f@g ash smells of piss and shouts at the traffic, but he%26#039;s a good old boy really.




I have no idea as I have no idea what the qualifications are for knighthood. Are they the same as in medieval times? Chivalry is 95% dead nowadays.




Nobody should receive a knighthood--it is an anachronism and should be consigned to history!




Knighthoods %26amp; Dames are sooooooooooooooo last century %26amp; all the centuries before..

You know other Brazilian cities? But not Rio, Sao Paulo, Brasilia and not also the Amazon forest ... rsrsrs?

hello, I'm Paul, I live in Brazil and I am Brazilian and not speak English, to communicate used the Google translator. I live in the city of Campinas in the state of So Paulo, then you already heard about this city or came here already?


You also know other Brazilian cities, located in interor the parents? The TV here too? Roads and Highways file? Trains? The Airports and universities?


So personal, what I am upset at times, and many outside of Brazil think that the country has only So Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia, Brazil's Northern Beaches and the rest is just wild Amazon jungle, I would not Aviz quite brasil ta and in developing technologies, and has up to a project to build a train to connect Bala-Campinas, So Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, to be ready in 2014 because of the Cup.


Do any of Brazil?



Sorry dude, but I don't, I would love to visit Brazil some day, and maybe I will pick up some Portuguese. I admire your ability to use alternative fuel your beaches kick butt and your carnivals are like out of this world, I also like Sepultura, I think they are just awesome. Unfortunately, I don't know much else about your country.




I know Fernando de Noronha, and you?




How about Recife ?

About Jade goody and why people believe it was wrong to publicize it so much?

Okay, so i understand Jade isn't any different to any other person with cancer but its not Jades fault shes a celebrity and happened to have cancer. Its like saying 'Hey don't become a celebrity because if you get cancer, your going to get attention when others should' Its not Jades fault and any celebrity, like Kyle minogue was all over the TV, would be. This is all i don't understand, why does everyone seems to think its okay to think its her fault it was all over the news.. That's because she wanted money for her children, wouldn't anyone else? Can anyone help me understand why people blame her for the press and everyone publicizing her illness? I mean i don't understand many things like this and maybe if i understood i would agree? Thanks for your help.



People have been slating her for no good reason as far as i can see she has raised awareness for cancer in women of her age, she was a celebrity and a bloody good one, what did jade herself achieve from publicizing her last months NOTHING she still died she did it purely for others for awareness and most importantly for her sons bobby and freddy, and any parent that says they would not do the same for their children if they could should be questioning themselves not jade.


JADE TO ME IS THE PEOPLES PRINCESS.


she did the best for her kids that she possibly could fair play to her


RIP JADE xxxx




she asked for the attention...wendy richards from eastenders, died a few weeks ago...there was a piece in the paper...nothing more...Kylie didn't seek all this attention that jade did. She did it for her children and by doing so lost her self respect and that of many others. Having lost people with cancer, she made it feel S*** for me having her milking cancer every time i read a paper...god knows how she made others feel who are living with it currently (those who don't see her as a Savior to humanity).


Its sad she died the way she did, but she didn't respect others in life, and now everyone wants people to respect HER now shes gone?? what you give is what you get returned, in life and in death.





by the way, Jade Goody is NOT the peope's princess...Diana was, and still is. There is no comparison at all.
