Why is the Muslim world in such an uproar over Israel and Palestine? And not in an uproar over the Muslims being slaughtered by MUSLIMS in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan? Why do you get 10,000 volunteer suicide bombers when Israel strikes back but not a single one when entire villages are being slaughtered by other Muslims? Doesn't it prove that the volunteers are insane? Where is the outcry from the Islamic world for the Muslim Pakistanis that are being beheaded? Why are the Pal's so much more important than any other Muslim?
How come there is not more of an uproar abouts Cheney's indictments? Vice President Cheney was indicted by a federal Grand Jury for war crimes it is public record. Why is there not more of a stink being raised about it. I mean people it is your country too, don't you pay any attention to current events. Or do you just want to follow some hick president thant does not know how to pronounce the word nuclear.
Do Democrats believe that the uproar against nationalized healthcare is due to racism? These same people were against it when Hillary Clinton was pushing for it. Would they favor crappy rationed care that would practically bankrupt the country just because a white person is pushing for it? I don't think so. Would they be cool with Stalin, Lenin, and other white guys like that if they were pushing for socialized medicine? Come on. Playing the race card will NOT work here, and this issue is completely non-racial, regardless of your stance. Even President Obama realizes this.
Why is it everyone is always in an uproar about a swat to the bottom? but if you were to see a child being verbally chastised in public (I don't mean a good talking to, being berated and utterly humiliated via swearing and putdowns) nobody thinks of that as abuse? Sanrio, that is def. not what a consider to be a swat and anybody w/any common sense doesn't either.
Why aren't Obama supporters in an uproar about the capital gains tax? But they are freaking out about the gas tax holiday? Obama wants to raise capital gains taxes to 28% which can have SEVERE consequences. The possible negative effects of a couple months of gas tax relief won't even come close to what his capital gains tax increase can do to this country.
im gonna start a local uproar in my town, i would like come opinions? there is a painting done by some crazy guy 20 years ago in the downtown of where i live.its become an icon of the city and part of the pseudo liberal culture here.a business once tried to get rid of it,but the locals took to the streets with their pachuli smelling sasses and pickets threatening to boycott it.im gonna paint over it,and if i get caught,become famous as the villan.
If Obama had been a Republican would there be this much uproar? I think not! I am a Republican and I voted for Obama, so I am a traitor to the Republican party? No, I am giving the guy a chance. I want change for this country and there would not have been any with McCain. I voted for Bush both times and I am now sad that I did. If Colin Powell had run, would there be this much backlash? Nope. Bring it on. I seriously doubt both of your answers.
Who leaked this information to the press? In 1969, President Nixon began bombing North Vietnam bases in Cambodia. He wanted to keep this from the public to prevent uproars, but somebody leaked the information to New York Times. Who is responsible for giving out this information?
If the UK passes sexist laws discriminating against men, will this in turn cause an uproar in both the male an? Female population? If you take reverse-racism for example: you stop discriminating against the minorities, and discriminate against the majority, it will cause people in the majority of the population to feel resentment toward the minority, and possibly cause an uproar. However because the gender population are about equal, would it in turn cause an uproar in both genders? I can see the male gender feeling resentment toward the female gender, but what would happen to us mentally? Would we in turn begin to resent males? Hypothetical question.
McCain is trying to blame the media for uproar around Palin? The Republicans are getting a taste of their own medicine. Take it and weep. The Democrats have put up with their smears way to long, these aren't smears, this is truth about Sarah Palin, thats the difference. McCain may get so upset about this, he might just show us one of his temper tantrums, now that would be the end of his Run for the Presidency. Show the world your temperment John, so then we will know we don't want your had on any buttons.
How can i get my brother to stop walking around in his underwear? he's 17 and does it every morning and every night. it's really gross and my parents don't seam to care. i tell him to use his robe, but he says there's no need. if i walked around in my bra the family would be in a uproar. why's it different with him. how can i get him to stop?
Why to uproar of Obama speaking at Notre Dame? Indeed, the Catholic Church's dogma is clear on abortion. However, according to is Catechism, it has this to say on the death penalty, "Assuming that the guilty party's identity and responsibility have been fully determined, the traditional teaching of the Church does not exclude recourse to the death penalty, if this is the only possible way of effectively defending human lives against the unjust aggressor. If, however, non-lethal means are sufficient to defend and protect people's safety from the aggressor, authority will limit itself to such means, as these are more in keeping with the concrete conditions of the common good and more in conformity with the dignity of the human person. Today, in fact, as a consequence of the possibilities which the state has for effectively preventing crime, by rendering one who has committed an offense incapable of doing harm - without definitely taking away from him the possibility of redeeming himself - the cases in which the execution of the offender is an absolute necessity "are very rare, if not practically non-existent." The operative part here being, "the cases in which the execution of the offender is an absolute necessity "are very rare, if not practically non-existent." Yet, in 2001, George W. Bush, who signed the death warrants of over 130 individuals, spoke at the university without protest. Why the rank hypocrisy among some of the Notre Dame student body and protesting Bishops? Bush's position on the death penalty is irreconcilble with the position of the Catholic Church. According to your church's dogma, the relative guilt or innocence of the person isn't why the death penalty is immoral. According to your church, an unborn infant has indeed done something wrong via Orginal Sin. And again, the relative guilt or innocence of that fetus isn't why your Church is opposed to abortion. Either life is "sacred" or it isn't. I happen to think it's not. Fr. Joseph Opinions from child molestors aren't welcome. While the governor himself doesn’t have the power to issue pardons, is it not true that he appoints all members of the clemency board and they serve as this pleasure?
How do I find original IP addresses for members posting in my yahoo group? Some folks posting in my yahoo group are causing an uproar. It is suspected that some of these folks are the same person posting under different Yahoo IDs. Is there a way to find the originator of posts in a yahoo group? I know how to find the header in an email but can't seem to find a show header place on a post in my group.
Should traditions be abandoned for those that want to be in a traditional unit but do not like the traditions? Traditions are passed from generation to generation. People know this in trying to get involved with traditional units such as schools, fraternities, sororities, certain military units, and brotherhood groups in lines of work. People want to join them cause of the honor or fame the units have but don't want to honor the traditions that go with it. So should the few that don't agree go elsewhere and form their unit or just endure it and maybe pass on those traditions they do not agree with instead of causing an uproar.
How is the patriot act different from what Abraham Lincoln did? During the Civil War, Lincoln appropriated powers no previous President had wielded: he used his war powers to proclaim a blockade, suspended the writ of habeas corpus, spent money without congressional authorization, and imprisoned 18,000 suspected Confederate sympathizers without trial. Imagine, the uproar it would create is a president did something similar today.
How unpopular would Bush have to be before Congress considered impeaching him? I know, impeachment is based on "high crimes and misdemeanors", not approval ratings. But Bush has made plenty of impeachable offenses, including the illegal NSA wiretap program which he flatly admitted. And yet the House of Representatives won't impeach. What depth of approval rating, or public uproar, do you think it would take? Some of you are still claiming that Bush has committed no impeachable offenses. However, Bush personally authorized the NSA to conduct wiretaps without warrants, which is plainly illegal. He admitted (bragged?) in public that he did so. There are more offenses; this one is simply the most clear-cut. OK, I see I need to explain this more. Courts have ruled that the 4th amendment (prohibiting search and seizure without a warrant) applies to wiretaps. Therefore, wiretaps without a warrant are illegal. Know your rights, people!
Why would anyone want to tie themselves legally to someone who has abused them for 15 years? My brother invited me to his domestic partnership celebration. His intended has sent him to the hospital twice & verbally & emotionally abused him for 15 yrs now. I'm not attending & he's got the whole family in an uproar over it. I just can't stand to see him cement that relationship when he should be running the other way! He's so co-dependent, it's scary. Now I'm the bad guy!
How do you feel about having foreign worker townships in your estate? There was an uproar over the weekend when plans to turn the former Serangoon Gardens Technical School in Burghley Drive into a hostel for 1,000 foreign workers met with protests from the residents. Would you be able to accept foreign worker townships in your heartlands? Which parts of Singapore do you think will be suitable to build such townships?
What are 3 causes for why the american people reacted to natalie maines comment? The Dixie Chicks lead vocalist, Natalie Maines made a comment towards America's President Bush stating "I am ashamed that Bush is from Texas" which led a huge uproar among americans. Can you list 3 plausible causes why the americans reacted the way they did? The only one I can think of is that Americans had a huge sense of pride during the time since the comment was made a year after 9/11 occured.
Why such a big uproar over the ICE raids? Weren't they arresting criminals (read: people in this country illegally)? Isn't it the job of law enforcement to actually ENFORCE the laws? So, ICE arrests thousands of criminals, and they get nothing but a lot of negative press about being inhumane and uncaring. The bottom line is that if you are in this country illegally, you are a criminal, and shold be expected to be treated like one. The one basic right a criminal has is to be arrested and held accountable for their crime.
What is with all the fairness doctrine questions? I didn't get to listen today Is it Glenn,Rush, or Sean that is getting all of you conservatives here in an uproar to parrot their talking points. Hello Martin, This issue can't be the only one that we disagree on can it.I think that you know that if I thought that there was a SERIOUS effort to bring back some form of the fairness doctrine that I would applaud it.I do have a couple of questions for you. Was it the right or the left that benefitted from the removal of the fairness doctrine? Does having over a twenty year heads up and better funding put the possibility of having an equally succesful voice for the left on the air? If the intent of the framers of the Constitution was a representative government and it is our voice that determines the course that our government takes. Would the framers prefer that "We The People" be educated or propagandized? Edit: second question should have read. Does having over a twenty year heads up and better funding put the possibility of having an equally succesful voice for the left on the air at a disadvantage?
How do we know that the swine flu wasn't brought over by? US college students over spring break in Mexico? All this blame on the illegal immigrants, and uproar to close the borders. How do we know that this swine flu wasn't brought over by somebody's slutty daughter over spring break in Cancun?
Do any illegal aliens from Mexico work for or with you? A few work for us and I have to say that they are very good workers and do not cause any trouble. No one else here in the US wants to do the jobs they are doing so why are people most people in an uproar about this?...All they are trying to do is make money for their families like all the rest of us, but yet they don't have a green card to be legal. What are your thoughts?
What are your thoughts on these baby names? My sister just had twins yesterday. A boy and a girl. The whole family is in an uproar over the names that she has given them. "Contankerina" and "Contankerton". Pronounced "Cun-tank-urr-eeena" and "Cun-tank-urr-tun". My mother refuses to speak to her and I am just beside myself. What do you think should be done? Is it too late to convince her to change the names?
The American People have Learned the secret to invisibility? The Senate has just passed cloture on the immigration reform bill. Despite more than seventy percent of THE PEOPLE, not wanting this bill, our congress has decided they know better. Despite an unprecidented uproar, this bill will move on. It is a sad day indeed.
How do you feel about the 50 shots shooting in Jamacia,Queens? I'm writing a paper about it and I would like to know people opinions on this subject. Please don't say anything negative, that would start an uproar. I'm writing a paper about it and I would like to know people opinions on this subject. Please don't say anything negative, that would start an uproar. And no I am not looking fro positive answers. Just answers that won't hurt anyone else.
Is Ahmadinejad really having the last laugh over Ground Zero and speaking at Columbia? By denying Ahmadinejad's request to visit Ground Zero as well as protesting his right to speak at Columbia University, aren't we giving ourselves a black eye? Yes, most everybody knows that he has a gift for saying the unthinkable through harsh rhetoric; however, by creating an uproar over his wanting to visit Ground Zero and his being able to speak at Columbia, aren't we, at least in a way, going against our own principles of freedom of speech and expression as well as the principle of diplomatic convention? Secondly, although his shock-rhetoric does annoy a lot of Americans and Westerners, by doing this to restrain his actions, aren't we, in the eyes of Islamic nations, helping to validate Ahmadinejad's views about the United States being a "closed" and anti-Muslim society?
Which judge, or law figureheads do not consider marital rape a crime from the Western World? I remember reading that either a statesman or some sort of politician, or law maker, or judge from the Western World, does not consider marital rape as a crime. He caused an uproar, and never backed out of his belief. Who was this person? Or are there more than just one influential person that holds this belief? Thank you in advance. I am after their names please... This is for a paper I am getting ready, so no useless comments please!
Where is the AOL article about Al Gore and democratic nomination? Basicaly there was an article on the AOL homepage this morning, March 31st about Al Gore possibly getting the democratic nomination, and now its gone. I did not get a chance to see it, I heard about it from a friend. I guess it caused an uproar so it was taken down. Does anyone know the title of the article?
Should the Archbisop of Canterbury be charged with incitement to religious hatred? Following the uproar at the Archbishop of Canterbury's speech advocating sharia law should run alongside our existing law, should he now be charged with stirring up religious hatred? Extract from wikipedia: The Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (citation 2006 c. 1) which creates an offence of inciting (or 'stirring up') hatred against a person on the grounds of their religion.
what can i do to get a woman out of my uncles garage? my uncle recently bought a house that he cant pay for, so he rented out a few bedrooms along with a garage. at the time, he was desperate, and blindly agreed to rent out the unconverted garage to a woman a her baby. until a while ago, we didnt know that it was illegal to do so. on top of that, the woman is causing a lot of problems, including loud music, screaming, litter, causing an uproar in the neighborhood, constantly picking fights with my aunt, and possibly child abuse on her kid. trust me i know-i visited for 2 months. oh and shes always having cops over too... so far 4 times a day. and they come at night too because sometimes the neighbors also report her of child abuse. anyways, now the city is taking legal action and people are going to come inspect the garage in a week to see if the garage has been "converted" back to a place to park cars and not a bedroom. my uncle has already given her a verbal agreement that she leave at the end of this month. weve given her 30 days to move out, but she wont leave. i recently printed out a three days to quit notice for my uncle to sign. is there any way to get her out of the garage? i know my uncle has made a mistake, and so does he, so please either answer or dont. i dont want any insults oh by the way my uncle lives in southern california
Is it illegal to post videos of fights? I figure that it is protected under the constitution but I am not sure because of all this uproar over those 8 girls beating up their classmate or teacher(can't remember). I know that they show fights all the time on tv but what about fights at school? Yeah i wasn't even there to see the fight or film it. I snatched the video off of my friends account on break and uploaded it to youtube so we could show people at school. Youtube works at my school but most other media sites do not.
Sarkozy victory in France - what does it mean to US French relations? I've heard a lot of uproar about the Sarkozy victory. What does this mean for France and what does this mean for U.S.-French relations? Sarkozy = GWBush = Hitler.....? I would have hoped for a considered opinion. God I hate it when people make ridiculous Hitler comparisons. It's kind of like when people used to call Clinton a Communist. It's total crap.
Is Obama the only Presidential candidate to tour foreign countries? Past Presidential candidates (including McCain) have toured outside of the U.S. during their campaign. Obama is doing nothing out of the ordinary. Since this is the case, why are people in such a negative uproar over this? Is it because Obama drew so many people when he spoke? Is it because Obama was received POSITIVELY by some of the foreign Dignitaries? Thoughts?
Is the poisoning of thousands of Cats & Dogs a conspiracy for Protectionism as China is claiming? Chinese authorities are fed up with the bad publicity with Chinese product export recalls & are claiming this is 'disguised protectionism' from other countries. This was reported on CBC NEWS WORLD TV Channel, Aug. 22, '07. Last April thousands, probably more that were not reported, of family pets needlessly lost their lives to China's unsafe production practices, & Chinese authorities consider all the other recalls uproar from other countries is DISGUISED PROTECTIONISM???? What do you think? Interesting to note that a few years prior to the tainted pet food scandal, news outlets had quietly reported on unsafe jewelry imported by China that contained almost 90% lead. It was discovered when the outer layer of adult rings wore off & underneath the object contained lead. Had anyone sound warning bells regarding this story perhaps the rest of the world wouldn't be directing it's attention towards China so discriminatingly for their continual record of dangerous retail products?
who was the 14 year old model in fashion week? A few years ago there was a 14 or 12 year old who was a part of the loreal fashion week and there was a huge uproar about it. I cannot think of her name and any links to the articles would be greatly appreciated.
Is the music business getting a taste of its own medicine? The music industry is in an uproar about losing music sales, but here is the thing...they've been using technology to milk us for years. From records to 8-track, tapes to cds, and so on, how many times have we had to pay for the same music because we bought a new car, stereo, etc.? Are people wrong to use technology as well to benefit themselves, just as the music business has been doing to fatten their wallets through the years?
Is the truth about Illegal Immigration too hard to take or too hard to understand? I don't know anyone on here be they Pro or Anti that agrees with illegal immigration.Nor open borders.The only differences I do see is our understanding of what has created the situation and how to handle it.So are facts like the Trade Agreements which have encouraged this mass immigration not understood or are they just lost in all the uproar over people illegally immigrating? Unemployment in certain sectors has dropped Thomas not all.NAFTA hurt the Mexican economy much more than ours due to Ag and textile manufacturing leaving or being replaced by American products.Read further please.Even Senators are now noticing.One is Hilary Clinton whose husband pushed NAFTA. Ducky...here's one I have more if you wish. http://www.lulac.org/advocacy/press/2007/nafta.html Here's another: http://www.commondreams.org/views06/0425-30.htm . Notice I didn't say it's the only cause just one of the causes.Til these things are fixed how can we fix illegal immigration? MB...I hope you don't mind me using the link you gave on my other question.It is so good I can't pass it up sorry. http://www.foodfirst.org/node/1604 .
Why did the NFL destroy all the tapes that the Pats gave them? I think something fishy is going on. The NFL won't comment on what the tapes contained and they destroyed them within 48 hours of receiving them. Do you think there was evidence of the Pats cheating in the playoffs and Superbowls? If there was, do you think the NFL destroyed the tapes to keep things quiet? There would have been such a huge uproar if there was proof that they cheated in the Superbowl. I think there was evidence, so the NFL destroyed the tapes to keep things quiet. The NFL is not commenting about the whole thing, which makes me think they're hiding something.
If you were the judge, what sentence would you give to someone who repeatedly sexuaully abuses children ? In the light of all the uproar about sweeny , who could be out of prison in 5 yrs for kidnapping & abusing a 3 yr old girl. If i was the judge i would give him a life sentence, and that would mean 'LIFE'. Or better still, be recommended for surgical castration. Thankyou everyone for your answers. I think we all had the same views on this, And millions of others. sorry, but i cant seem to choose the best answer, i will leave it for voting.
Why do people get in such an uproar over games like Grand Theft Auto? Listen up people: There are movies made for adults only, likewise, there are (beleive it or not) video games only for adults. Games like Grand Theft Auto are rated M for MATURE. That rating is on there for a reason. Parents should not buy their children adult movies, likewise they should not buy them adult video games. Its that simple. So tell me, what is the bigger problem, irresponsible video game manufactuers, or irresponsible parents?
Which of you has paid for tap water at a cafe or restaurant ? There was a big uproar about this on the radio first thing this morning. The prices ranged from 40p (UK) to £1 (UK). Part of the counter argument was that water out of a tap was an over head to the business, and therefore a legitimate charge. However if that is a valid argument then the same should apply to electricity etc ? Has it ever happened to you ? What do you think ? I've just started the argument here. Not necessarily my views.
Will the Packers be paid back for bounty shot on Adrian Peterson? Granted, Baldinger didn't think it was dirty, but if you took a look at it through other than cheese, it was dirty. Would there ever be an uproar if Ms. Favre took a good hard low shot to one of his knees? I know John Madden would just about have a stroke if it happend due to his manlove for Favre. Remember, Chedder Heads, cheap shots will be paid back and the hit on Adrian Peterson was beyond cheap.
Does anyone out there live next to wind turbines? Our county just passed new zoning. The new zoning has enabled 400' wind turbines to come into our town. Everyone is in an uproar due to the negitive publicity that surrounds this technology. There will be 135-140 of these massive turbines located near our small town of 20,000 people. Ours is an University town so in the summer that amount dramatically dips down. The turbines will be located within 1500' to the nearest homeowners that lives on the outskirts of town and within 3 miles of the town itself. I personally will be living 2 miles from the nearest white monster, with open countryside between me and IT. Can anyone fill me in as to what to expect from this new development? I have recieved some negitive responses to my question regarding wind turbines. I have done my research on these, yes, monsters. First of all we were approached to have several of these turbines on our land and we turned them down flat. Secondly, I am all for "green energy", but our county has 100,000's of acres that are not inhabited by animals or humans. We have had people call our county commissioners that have these turbines located next to their homes and towns. There calls have all been negitive. Landowners that signed leases to have them put on their property have said if they would have offered him a million dollars to have them on his property now that he has had to live with them, he would tell them NO WAY. He said he wishes he could take back his lease. People have contacted us to tell us to do whatever we can to get them as far away from our town as possible. NOBODY is against a new way of energy, just not sooooo close to our homes and families.
Is the Vick trial setting a double standard? I feel Vick deserves what he got, but at the same time other questions arise. The world is in uproar about this scandal yet forgets that there are players in the NFL that have been convicted of harsh crimes against people, yet no spotlight. Assult, Murder, Shootings, Beating spouses, these go unchecked yet Vick killed his dogs, does anyone see the irony in this. One more thing, when greyhounds are unable to race anymore, they are killed, not in such a harsh way, yet still killed, yet I don't see hands across America to stop this. I just think as a society we need to pay a little more attention to the big picture, and not just blindly join the mob mentality.
Why are our major universities so liberal? I've heard horror stories from younger friends who are in college. Some of them are failing their classes because they have a mind, of all things. God forbid someone have a different opinion from a liberal professor. And from what I hear, almost all professors are liberal. I'd be damned if I'd let some punk professor with a one way agenda fail my kid because he/she has a mind of their own. Besides, my money would be paying the punks salary! Anyone currently in college feel this way? I didn't write this to cause a political uproar. I consider myself neither liberal or conservative, I'd just like other people's opinions.
