you're probably looking with eyes clouded by a notion of what it means to be poor. a lot of poor people still work, but often don't make enough to pay all their bills, eat healthy every day, house themeselves or their family safely and cleanly, etc. you don't see all the poor because only the chronically homeless are highly visible, and they're usually also the ones who are not 'able bodied.' just because you don't see the 12 people crammed in a 2-bedroom apartm

this isn't a school yard, To paraphrase Sun Tzu the diffrence between an Individual and an Army is organization. and we're not talking about lunch money. terrorism isn't grounded in jealousy or covetousness anymore than it's grounded in religion. we let our companies move in and dominate their economy. we send our soldiers in if they try to stop that. we export our popular culture, laden in violence, sex and stupidity.

turn our backs on the poor who deliver out pizza I have delievered Pizza before. I have not ever been a poor person. Inside the U.S. the only able bodied people I have seen that were poor not because of themselves were children. Mostly folks just call themselves poor cause they are wealthier than their neighbors. Remember, the difference in price goes to the rich shareholders, I own stock and I am i

In my opinion, every type of violence which is not a direct, immediate response to an attack in order to prevent further harm, is unethical. And even in pure defense, if not absolutely unavoidable, violence has to be kept to a minimum. It doesnt make martial sense to do the minimum. The only way to win a fight is to be more violent then your opponent. In terms of wars, this means that any war that is not fought on a c

this was a british right we were british cit. at the time Parliament was willing to give us represtation but we demanded more then a English county got.... We were basicly what we call a territory to them. American cits. don t get a vote in congress if they live permantly in Guam, Peurto Rico, Samoa, or the Virgin Islands. They just get delegates. any subs that we attacked in 1940 was self defense they were attacking

which wars have been criminal Depends on which side your on! You could say the revolutionary war was illegal. Most of the reasons for the war was trumped up. Like no taxation without representation... our leaders asked for more then what was fair, we did it to pick a fight. Most people would scream bloody murder for the real reason to fight the Brits, Manufacturing. We didn t have the right to manufacture much of anything. You can e

I don't think the American federal government is in controll of the death penalty,,, it is a state issue is it not? The Death penalty is a state right issue yes. which is kinda weird, since you would think that life and death might qualify as being more important than state rights?? I disagree.

why should people care that the U.S. openly kills more of its own people than any other developed country? oh that's easy, it's called decency. you can call it indecency if ya want.... but I wont..... the only way you can stop someone from ever killing again is to kill that person. There is no such thing as life with out possiblity of parole. you're right, though, to a degree. however, the U.S. has also killed with im

we also use the death penalty more frequently than China or the Soviet Union ever did. mm even if this is true why should anyone care.... these governments also just made their own people disappear by the millions.... without Trial... who needs a death penalty when you can kill with imputnity!

[WW I... just a power play among the world elite and bankers attempting to establish Israel. WW II... the second attempt to establish a 'Jewish homeland' on soil that was never theirs, at least not during the twentieth century, and this attempt succeeded. [/quote] The jews had been the majority in "Israel" since the 1800's by purch

certain pirates did operate in large fleets in history... however those pirates had to operate in cooperation with an emperial fleet and were called 'privateers'. There was at least one pirate that did have (at one time) the most powerful fleet in the Caribean, Blackbeard. Before anyone says he was once a privateer he was most definably a pirate when he had his large armada.
