  1. Yeah, it sound a little barbaric but we gotta respect all cultures (or so we are told by the Left)

    Saudi court upholds child rapist crucifixion ruling

    Tue Nov 3, 2009 2:22pm IST

    RIYADH (Reuters) - A Saudi court of cassation upheld a ruling to behead and crucify a 22-year-old man convicted of raping five children and leaving one of them to die in the desert, newspapers reported on Tuesday.

    The convict was arrested earlier this year after a seven-year old boy helped police in their investigation. The child left in the desert after the rape was three years old, Okaz newspaper said.

    International rights groups have accused the kingdom, the birthplace of Islam, of applying draconian justice, beheading murderers, rapists and drug traffickers in public. So far this year about 40 people have been executed in Saudi Arabia.

    In Saudi Arabia, crucifixion means tying the body of the convict to wooden beams to be displayed to the public after beheading.

    If you don't rape or attempt murder, you won't be beheaded or crucified. Its very simple. Another monster slain. Next.

    I might have guessed that that would be the extent of your analysis.

    do please enlighten us with your thoughts on the issue.

  3. It would be far more beneficial to increase education in the basics, English and math. A young girl at a local small store could not add together two amounts in her head. Knowing the sexual preference of a rhino really isn't going to help her very much.

    true, i get tired of having to tell the kids how much change i'm supposed to get back.

    and their ability to construct a sentence is appalling. A well trained monkey could do better (gay or otherwise).

  4. 160 billion divided by 1 million. Does that mean the stimulus costs taxpayers $160,000 per job?

    Poor math. The funds pay for more than salaries if you're building something.

    Building something like..... Bigger Government?

    or a really big smokescreen .....

    Or some infrastructure. Concrete, steel and and pavement, for example, aren't exactly free. Neither are the machines that are used to build that infrastructure with. But keep on making silly comments and buy into fuzzy math.

    I don't "buy" into this AT ALL. You do.

  5. Just realized what I wrote was pretty long-winded. Lest my efforts to articulate my point be in vain...

    Here's the short version:

    The US government has proven that they are no better at managing US health care costs than private insurance (as evident by the statistical summary provided by the board of trustees who manage Medicare funds: (here).

    Therefore, comparisons of government-run health systems of foreign countries to the system of the US are entirely moot.

    There is a core problem with the cost of health care in the US. The exorbitant cost of health care can only be logically blamed on the regulations that have monopolized the US medical industry.

    Abolishing the regulations, commissions, administrations, bureaus, associations, and legislative acts that control the supply and price of health care is the only real way to lower the costs of health care. Such a restrictive regulatory body exists in no other health care system in the world. This correctly accounts for why health care is far cheaper in countries with and without government-provided health care/insurance alike; because the health care industries of those countries are not monopolized like that of the US.

    Exactly !! why don't some people get this? :thumbs:

  6. Find the monsters and lock them up for good. How many times do we have to see these heinous crimes committed before the law takes it seriously and provides a fitting punishment. I don't care how old any of the scum concerned are, castration and hard labor for the rest of their miserable lives should be the punishment. Actually, termination is also ok.

  7. I am with the notion that if you work, regardless of what you earn, you are working class. Middle class a much more widely used term in the US than anywhere else I have been. Most of the people I know who earn a decent living, own a house, drive a nice car etc would classify themselves as middle class here.

  8. Britty, that's scurelous nonesense. Most if not all of the migrants from former British colonies have always contributed to the UK society financially and for the most part did not come to the UK illegally. I can't imagine what possessed you to make such a stupid statement, aside from trying to get one over on Col. Bat.

    Chicken! :P

    :lol:

  10. They are illegal aliens. They took their chances getting to Europe on the promise of a better life, probably from someone who they paid a lot of money. Should Europe relax its legal right to refuse entry to immigrants, or refuse to legalise those there already? Hell, no.

    Immigration law is not something to be disregarded in every case, just because the immigrant believes so. The sovereign nations that constitute the EU formulated their policy and have every right to implement and enforce it. As should the USA.

    And if the illegal immigrants don't like it, they can go back to where they came from, or try somewhere else that does not have the same immigration conditions. Their choice.

    This is prevailing issue that has been going on for a long time and neither the EU nor the US seems to have viable solution. It's driven by economics - supply and demand. There in lies a solution.

    The UK has its own solution, a 22 mile wide stretch of water, at its narrow point, called the English Channel. The implementation and enforcement of immigration controls has been more successful than most, and a large number of those that try making it to the UK, in trucks, on trains, in containers, etc. are caught and deported. And the French get to dismantle the shanty towns that grow up around the ferry ports and rail terminals every so often.

    The mood in Europe is hardening. Illegal immigrants will find it progressively harder to find their way to the EU and harder to find their way in the EU. The economy is a harsh mistress.

    The Right Wing approach isn't the solution. All it's doing is further marginalizing them.

    And your by rote trotting out of the "Right Wing Approach" shows how little you know and understand the European mindset and how blind your bias makes you. The current government in the UK is left wing and has been for the past 12 years. Under this government, the UK introduced its citizenship testing, which makes it way harder for legal immigrants. Labour has taken the battle to the French, most notably at Sangatte, to get them to dismantle the transitory camps that were acting as a staging post for illegal immigrants' attempts to reach the shores of the UK.

    If, by further "marginalising" illegal immigrants, the EU stem the number of people trying to enter the EU illegally, and persuades numbers of those already there to leave, good. There is no right to free travel free immigration in this world. Illegal immigrants need to understand that simple fact.

    It is not a Right Wing approach. It is the right approach.

    Europe has been moving toward the Right for awhile now.

    I did read where France has a regularization process for undocumented workers. I'm not sure about the exact details, but basically, if you have pay stubs that show you are gainfully employed and have been for some time, you may qualify for regularization.

    The problem isn't with the migrant workers themselves, but many countries don't want those migrant workers to use their services, so they become marginalized. Again, it's a supply and demand issue and therein lies a solution.

    Europe has been moving right because left doesn't work.

    And your supply and demand "solution" doesn't work. The native populations affected by the issue won't let it. Europe has found that out already. The USA will follow, the only question is will it follow in time, or not?

    The EU has not solved their issues with undocumented workers. Isn't it incredible, the human capacity for survival? That in spite of incredible odds, people are willing to risk a lot just to survive. That's at the heart of the issue. And let's not forget the UK's great history of exploiting Third World countries. God forbid some of those natives come to the UK in hope for a better life. Astonishing the nonchalant view of its historical context.

    They did, and lived it up on benefit checks, free cars, and child support payments.... while the taxpayer suffered the consequences.

  11. I am so tired of illegal immigrants whining. You accept certain conditions with your illegal status, one of them being savvy business people paying you shite wages and giving you crappy jobs. There is a simple fix if you are not entirely satisifed with your lot and that is to return home.

  12. What about Gregg's cheese and onion pasties and a fresh white loaf that doesn't taste like cake and isn't stale!! They used to do a lovely egg mayo sarnie as well. I miss a ton of things but luckily the stores here in Northern VA really cater for the Brit.... I currently have hula hoops, bisto, chocolate fingers, birds custard, marmite, sandwich spread, kerrygold butter and cream crackers.

  13. Why are these legal and intrade products not? Because you can hedge a stock position with index futures, and you can argue that trading RGGI contracts helps a firm in its quest to 'go green'. The speculators in those markets add liquidity and price discovery and so are tolerated in the quest for a more efficient market.

    But there's no business benefit to trading on intrade products, nobody hedges with them, there are only speculators. Hence it's gambling.

    You could hedge with Intrade - they have a lot of financial contracts.

    For example,

    • 2009 Year End Dow Jones Industrial Average
    • October 2009 Dow Close
    • How far will the Dow fall before the end of 2009?
    • How far will the Dow fall before the end of 2010?

    Anyway, like I said, I'm sick and tired of the Republican-Democrat Corporate Regime

    telling me what I can and cannot do with my own money.
