Imagine what would be ...if we all stand up and say no... ( Archived) (282)

Is this supposed to be funny? Think you're better than she is? thats the crux of you people--you think youre better than everyone else.

L O L !!! (actually, they may be in several...)

And when that putative tornado hits a trailer park many Republican supporters are lost! :) :)

Brilliant comment (as always from you)!!!

The crux of the matter is that people often seem to lack in empathy towards the suffering of other people. This sometimes happens because the 'other' threatens them in some way; a simple matter of self-interest. This is true of everybody. However, prejudice and ignorance too are often behind the lack of empathy. And that too affects just about everybody. Nobody is one hundred percent self-sacrificing and altruistic and nobody is above prejudice and ignorance. Thus there are no better people or worse people. There are just people. And no, I dont think I am better than her or anybody who holds an opinion contrary to mine. I also admit to having made a snide comment and apologize.

Migrants to the USA is an issue which like all issues can be most convincingly argued both ways. It has to be remembered though that the law has little to do with the notion of justice and even less to do with the idea of fairness. Further the 'law' is always, I repeat always, the law of the dominating group in society.

If one's sense of humanity comprises the interest of only oneself then an idea of 'fairness' cannot exist. The more people that are included in one's perspective, the wider one's sympathies for others. It is sympathy that is at issue over here and not the law or the justice that it dictates. You can have sympathy for others even though their existence may pose a threat to yours - or at least perceived to be so. (At extremes, soldiers of opposing armies feel for each other as amply demonstrated in war). So, to disregard the needs, aspirations and sufferings of people whose activity is perhaps inimical to your interests reduces your breadth of mind and awareness of human existence in its many many states. In the long run it is also most counter-productive for your own purposes. You would not want to be ignored, dismissed and rejected when history changes your fortunes. And history does change and change all the time in the most surprising and unexpected ways.

he has set a precedent and so has our electd representatives and senators... shame on them more so than the president. our system was dsigned with checks and balances unfortunately that system is faulty..beit beacuse of instant information or the readily available access to create false information.

either way the presidents histroy before politics reeals he ain't no eistein, or roosevelt or professor in economics....

no way can a village idiot do such damage unless he was allowed. to those politicains still in office your day of accountable should come first... before taking the president behind the tool shed.

think how those of the other end of spectrum could use the powerthat bush has amassed since 9/11 and how they would use it.....thats scary too.
nope the problem lies withn the house of congress and the senate chambers. to many great individuals beguiled bty a village idiot.....

again what has occurred lies at the feet of our congressmen and senators...... remember the check and balances of democracy???

gee... shortsighted is what you are, and what stated is not an oppinion its just a personal useless comment - I can do without.

What world of beauty you are talking about anyway ..?

yeah this constant repeating "no" will make us thirsty too can I sit at or near a place that serves cold beverage cause i too believe its gonna be a long long time of sayin "no"

Agree, Bush vetoed withdrawal from Iraq yesterday, so yes, I think it will be a loooooong time, but then again maybe that's why its important to start soon?
