Probably a good thing! Look what democracy brought to the two most recent countries to try it in the middle east! Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

I'm kind of surprised at your reaction to this. Dubai has been a strong supporter of the US in the fight against terrorism. The also manage the port at Jebel Ali and were the first Arab country to sign a pact with the US in 2004 to deter the use of containers for use in terrorism. They provide logistical support for the US in Afghanistan and are also a major producer of oil and are currently involved in signing a free trade agreement with the US. This seems like a pretty straight business deal to me. It certainly cannot be said that Dubai supports any terrorism and the contract is just for DPO-Dubai, a private company in the UAE, to provide management of the ports, which they obviously have a great deal of experience. I view this as Islamophobia gone wild and cannot understand why people automatically associate a company from a very moderate Arab country as a threat. It's still a one-man, one-rule, sheikdom (state) that became what it is today by smuggling and oil. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

... I don't know. Sure seems like we were blowing up more people and loosing more of our own under him. Watergate probably saved a lot more. At least our security wasn't an issue with him unless you got drafted. Overall, I don't think he was as vain as Bush. LBJ was the asshole that dug us in to Vietnam and refused to pull out even when he knew there was no way to win. Nixon: - Accepted reality and pulled us out of Vietnam. - Normalized relations with the largest county on the planet, (mainland China). - Had the last real balanced budget. (Ignoring the recent fudging where administrations use the social security fund to mask the deficit.) Now what has Dubya accomplished other than alienating every other country in the world??? Yeah, Nixon he did all those things. There had already been enough killing without his escalated bombing campaign which stopped after Watergate. Personally, I felt betrayed the way things turned out (I wanted to win the war), but thankfully, he was stopped from bombing North Vietnam back into the Stone Age simply because the man was a liar. truth.

True. However a great deal of terrorism is funded by illegal drugs. Especially opium from SE Asia and the ME. Regardless of where you fall on drugs and the legality of using drugs, I doubt most would want a large terrorist attack at Disney World funded by their usage. Terrorism is also funded by oil. Don't talk about oil on the phone. How about pistachios. Iranian pistachios are great. Does that sound like a coded message? Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

The nerve of this guy: he blows off the house and senate members with a veto threat without any discussion. This is gonna be a good lesson for him. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Corporate America moves jobs overseas. Without jobs, many of our youth turn to the military, and the whole country fills up with illegal cheap labor while we keep a large standing army overseas. This is "business as usual" for both parties. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

February 20, 2006 NewsWire Complete Issue By The AVweb Editorial Staff Australians Squash Airborne Tomato Threat While the U.S. is having trouble keeping people from pointing lasers at airplanes, it seems the Australians have convincingly dealt with another type of threat to aviation: flying tomatoes. Southport Magistrate Alex Chilcott put Anthony Douglas Donohue, 35, of Sorrento, in Queensland, on two years of probation after the man admitted threatening to bring down a helicopter by shooting tomatoes from a "homemade bazooka." Donohue became annoyed over the helicopter's repetitive survey flights over the house he shares with his parents and called in the threats to Air Services Australia, the government agency that regulates civil aviation. "I have a homemade bazooka and if that helicopter is here again tomorrow I will fire the bazooka at this guv," Donohue was quoted by prosecutors as saying, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. The court was also told his ammunition of choice was tomatoes. The threats were taken seriously and the helicopter pilot returned to base (whether out of fear ... or because it was his turn to wash the helicopter). It turns out Donohue was bluffing. There was no homemade bazooka and his defense lawyer said Donohue was under stress from a variety of sources when the chopper noise pushed him over the edge. The judge made psychiatric counseling a condition of Donohue's probation. [/url][url] Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

My advice is to go by Walmart and get a plain old square Casio. Cheap and they last for years. They have plenty of features. I've seen airline pilots with them. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Our own PBS aired: "The Betrayal of Democracy", several years ago. It simply showed how the press and both parties fail the public, while examining "the deepening divide between the governed and the governing".

He won't secure our borders and now he wants to turn over control of 6 major US ports to Dubai Ports World, a company from the UAE. The UAE provided 2 of the highjackers on 9/11 and according to Lou Dobbs, Dubai still recognizes the Talaban as the legitimate government of Afghaniston.

Usually one of two... The pilot or the mechanic. And they usually don't have to do any time. Look, I'm not condoning what the dumbass did, but, he was a tried and convicted dumbass with 3 kids and no prior record. Ok, maybe I had a little knee-jerk reaction. Got a lot of time with pax in the back. Lucky this time the pilot was not an idiot. Pilots are usually the first ones on the crash scene their fault or not. Mechanics are like doctors only their mistakes are both buried and burned. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Such as? I mean, for example, should 10 year old kids be granted the freedom to enter the workforce if they want to? If their parents want them to? Are 10 year old kids "people"? Little people.

a few years ago, I carried in a tent, camp stove, powerbars, and standard packets of dehydrated food. I DID NOT attempt to import fuel. no issues. (maybe I was just lucky.) strangely, I was paged before LEAVING Stavanger. security questioned an object. turned out to be my shaving gel! go figure. Sounds good.

That's just not the "American Way". We like to brag to the world what we intend to do ie. like we are going to capture some Somali warlord; what a crock. It's the same thing with Bin Ladin. Imagine a press conference where the President casually says,"Look what our spooks brought me". He then rolls that bastard's head across the stage (like bowling),but thats only an adult fairy tail.
