America`s Ultimatum
Wazir, your “allegiance to the American constitution" is something in your heart so I won't comment on it. But be careful about supporting Iranian Mullahs. These Mullahs will make you hostage unless you follow their deranged “nuke'em" slogans. And even if you don't like to be reminded of your duties to your adopted country, just don't get roped by this character from Canada. He is losing it. Peace to all and malice to none.
Dr. Qazi, United States of America
Note to allAmerica is hated by all countries because all they have done is start wars with them. Even Japan, Hiroshmi and Nagasaki got atomic bombed by these monsters. They need to be sorted out. They destroyed my country from those bombs and i hope Pakistan takes them out. You know, USA is too scared to start a war with them.
Feed the Minds asks Christians to support female literacy for Lent
Christian international development charity Feed the Minds (FTM) is appealing to the Christian community to lend its support to female literacy for its 2008 Lent Appeal. The charity currently supports literacy projects within 20 countries across the Globe, designed to help women gain basic literacy skills that will benefit the individuals, their families and wider community. One such project is based in Afghanistan, where under the Taliban regime there was no female education, girl's schools were burned down and women were forbidden to work. Today, women's literacy in the country stands at only 12.5 per cent. Feed the Minds has developed literacy programmes centred on health and hygiene, with the most vulnerable in society, such as orphans or widows, selected to participate.
Obama: Beware 'Reverse Bradley'
I don't want my 17-year-old son to have to pick tomatoes or make beds in Las Vegas." Has Rove accidentally ripped the mask off the vicious social inegalitarianism of Bush's immigration plan, as Mark Krikorian argues, or does a more benign interpretation of his comments save him? It's not like he hasn't said this sort of thing before, apparently. Indeed, his June, 2006 version makes the probable context of last week's remark quite clear--and Rove's not simply "saying that every parent wants their child to have a high-skilled, high-wage job," as the White House's damage control suggests. Here's the 2006 pitch: "Now frankly," Rove said during a riff on the temporary worker part of President Bush's immigration reform plan, "I don't want my kid digging ditches. I don't want my kid slinging tar.
Lose the heavy load on your credit cards
It's not just that third helping of plum pudding that could be weighing you down. Millions of Australians will also have overindulged on their credit cards and now need ways to shed the excess. Assess the damage DO you know what you owe on your cards or even what the interest rate is? Lisa Montgomery from non-bank lender Resi says most people don't. "With credit readily available and with the growing popularity of automated payment options such as direct debit facilities, Australian borrowers have become more complacent and mechanical about debt," she says. "As a result, debt levels have tended to become less visible." Change this by gathering your statements and writing down what you owe and what rate of interest you're paying. Don't panic IF the figures horrify you, don't just bury your head in the sand and hope it will all go away.
The BIG Immigration Debate
I welcome immigration but believe that people who come here should attempt and be seen to be attempting to adhere to our codes and culture and not force over the top issues pushing our traditional tollerance and hospitality to the wire. I agree with a previous comment about Christmas and our traditions, Birmingham Bull Ring Centre did not have christmas because it was unacceptable to other cultures, totally ignoring that this is unacceptable to christian brits. Live and let live I love to celebrate other cultural traditions but expect other cultures to respect the host country traditions. .
Man of the Year
Q The United States is not that helpless. It could have stopped the bombardment of Lebanon. We have that much control with the Israelis. MR. SNOW: I don't think so, Helen. Q We have gone for collective punishment against all of Lebanon and Palestine. MR. SNOW: What's interesting, Helen -- Q And this is what's happening, and that's the perception of the United States. MR. SNOW: Well, thank you for the Hezbollah view,... Posted by Michael Goldfarb at 06:31 PM | Permalink | E-mail the author | E-mail article .
