LOL... John you really are full of suprises. I'd not have out you down as a bet.com reader! I feel the term African American is racist as it insinuates that to be African you must be black.

'"Red necks"? Are you aware that your usage of that term is bigoted? It's like saying, "For a while, the niggers were rampaging in Los Angeles after the Rodney King cop trial acquitted his abusers."' How many thousands of white men were enslaved and hung by black men calling them 'Rednecks'? Its beyond credibility to try to equate 'Red Neck' with 'Nigger' When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Tell someone who gives a fuck; I don't hear you complaining at the term Towel heads. Never thought I'd see the day when PJ got all PC! P.S I like the your use of the term 'Measly'. So what you seem to be saying is that if the Jews had more guns and guts they could have beaten the "Pesky " Germans.

The absence of guns does not garentee safety from genocide. Look at Yugoslavia and the genocide carried out there. What about the Wasaw ghetto where Jews had guns it didn't change anything. The Red Indians had rifles it didn't stop red necks commiting genocide there either.

I don't belive it I actualy agree with most of what RL said!!! Except... I don't know if its the same in the US, but over here that PC nanny state attitude is foisted onto the teachers who are as much victims of it as everyone else. I have a friend who is a primary school teacher and she isn't even allowed to help a child remove an earing if they ask as she isn't allowed to have any physical contact with the children. Alot o them are from homes where they are neglected or abused and are so starved of respect and attention that they often call her mum and even hug her, yet according to the rules she has to just stand there like a statue. I feel sorry for the teachers. LMAO When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Well this thread has gone down like a lead balloon. Lets talk about ducks, I like duck. Especialy when they are crispy and in a pancake, Yum!

Hahahahaha! Nice. You seem to feel that it's better to live in a state of being under the total control and scrutiny of the government at all times -- you know, for your safety. Which is the attitude of the loser? - It is very disturbing that I find myself in agreement with you more often this year. Just go with it. It'll feel quite pleasant before long.

This is great! America should be cheering in the street, isn't this what you went to war for? This is what our service men are dying for. Democracy in the middle east! Hamas has taken part in a democratic election and now are in a political process. A few years ago Sinn Fienn did the same and those amoung them that wanted an end to the war in NI engaged with the political process, did the IRA stop murdering people right away? No of course not, it took years (They still are but we don't hear about it now) but the bombings stopped in time. Instead of demonising Hammas it we should be looking for dialouge with those within who would rather use the ballot box than the bomb. Or have they called our bluff? Do we really want democracy or do we just want democracies that the west want to impose wether the people want those leaders or not?

To some people, financial prosperity is not as important when considering how "well"- or "worse"-off their living conditions are. I'd rather be a little poor, and FREE, than financial prosperous and under the thumb of an oppressive government -- forbidden from owning, doing, thinking, or reading a great many things... I could be living in some arab state, sitting on millions (or billions?) of oil wealth, but unable to get a copy of many classic books without being an outlaw. Would my wealth be worth it? - Err.. Yea, well I guess you'd better put your head back in the sand old boy! Even IF you could get the books just don't get them from your library unless you want big brother Opps...I mean Uncle Sam to know. Go tell Zoia Horn how lucky she is.

The Methamphetamine Anti-Proliferation Act of 1999 (S. 1428) had a section 9 outlawing certain dissemination of information on drug use, patterned after a law outlawing certain dissemination on information on explosives that was signed in 1999. Given that conspiracy or solicitation to commit federal crimes was already illegal, it's hard to see what practical effect is intended by these bills other than to censor the open dissemination of information deemed too dangerous for the public to learn. The Tennessee law prohibiting teaching evolution theory was finally repealed in 1967, but further laws intended to stifle the teaching of evolution in science classes have been proposed in the Tennesee legislature as recently as 1996. More recently, in a 2005 case pitting a Pennsylvania family against the Marple Newtown School District, accounts in the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Associated Press reported that the family was invited into a kindergartener's class to read from his favorite book, which in this case turned out to be the Bible. After the school said the student's mother could not read from Psalm 118, the child's mother sued. In an opinion article later published in the May 31 Inquirer, ("Doing right by students, law") Sereni cited the New Jersey decision from the previous paragraph, and claimed that disallowing the reading was required by Pennsylvania law. Section 1515 of Pennsylvania's Public School Code, also cited in the article, does allow the Bible to be taught in secondary grades as part of a literature class. Sereni's article interprets this permission as an implicit prohibition of other uses of the Bible in a class, effectively banning the Bible in Marple Newtown classes prior to the secondary grades, even in a student-initiated presentation.

I guess all those millions of Americans living in South America don't count then. ***An American lives in the most prosperous land in the history of the world.[/quote ] America is in more debt than any other country in the west, it's way behind Japan on the prosperity tables. I guess the guy who wrote this patriotic propergander piece forgot to take into account all those people living in trailer parks. I bet the people of New Orleans feel much better knowing just how prosperous they are. I'd agree with some of the 'letter' but after all is said and done America is no better than alot of countries and worse off than some.
