  1. There is never an excuse to display the appalling behaviour the extremists in McCain's campaign portray, and that comment from McCain's senior staff person is totally ludicrous! McCain was on the right track when he tried to stop the lynch mob mentality. The fact that the tried is all in his favour. The fact that he didn't succeed indicates how little respected he is within his own party. With supporters like that, who needs enemies? They are definitely disenfranchising any still undecided voters away from the Republicans.

    Seriously.

    Obama is a brave man, because you gotta know and he had to know that there are crazies out there that will not be able to handle a black man as President (if he is elected) and will try all sorts of ####### to get rid of him.

    Any President, regardless of color, is a target for the "crazies". Obama really really wants to become the next President of the US, and his campaign is not a selfless act so bravery doesn't apply here at all.

    I completely disagree. The thought of personal and familial security HAD to come up while deciding whether or not to run.

    That would be the same for every potential president though wouldn't it?

  2. You are right.... I'm really in favor of "eye for an eye" punishments. Find the monster who did this and set him on fire. He can experience the pain and terror his victim felt, and maybe feel some remorse in his last few seconds. Crimes of this nature have to be punishable by death to ensure the public is protected.

    Are you the USC or are you from the UK? (just curious)

    Im the UKC.

    Male or female?

    female.

  4. :angry::angry::angry:

    This is when pranksters needs severe punishments. Probably some local high school students who wants to pull a prank on a homeless guy.

    From the sound of it, this guy seems very content with his life. RIP my man!

    "Pranksters"?? A prank is something like egging someone's house. This is demonic barbarism on the level of the kinds of acts done by the Nazis

    Sounds like gang initiation to me, and the tests are getting more sickening by the day. Whoever did this is a sadistic, evil individual and must be destroyed. We definitely need the death sentence in cases like this. The poor homeless guy had absolutely no defense. I have sub-zero tolerance for criminal acts, and this type of crime should ONLY be punishable by the chair.

    The chair is too kind for them...

  7. Maybe there is just more to dig up on Obama than McCain. Don't for one minute think either candidate is noble enough to run a campaign without trashing his opponent. Its called politics, if you have something that will show your opponent in a bad light then all the better. McCain is batsh!t crazy and Obama is a shady dealer who lies through his fake smile every day. Who cares what one or the other does - neither are exactly a remotely decent choice for President anyway.

  8. Some people let 'feelings' of fear influence their decisions when they should really be using logic. Oh well :)

    Its more or less the same thing with the moral panic over child molestation - with that stupid News of the World expose a few years ago.

    Sometimes I get so desperate for an English newspaper, I would probably read the News of the World. Does anyone know why the US insists on producing newspapers that are too large to read comfortably on the average cafe table? Also, why are there lots of separate sheets that just fall out and won't fold? I actually think the Brits could teach the newspaper industry here in the US a thing or two.

  9. Oh, I wonder - meanwhile the majority of folks in the UK feel perfectly safe without access to guns, imagine that?

    All my family and friends are in London and they would disagree. There seems to be always something happening to someone they know whether directly or indirectly. My mother was just telling me this morning that the "nice lady" from the chemist was mugged during the day waiting at the bus stop. If the UK allowed their citizens to be armed, far less crime would take place.

    We simply are not going to agree on this one. I believe very strongly that the UK is a great place to live because being armed is not the norm - including for the police (who would be the last to wish for an armed population) You only have to look at the difference between the way a UK cop deals with a threatening situation to realize how starkly different the US and the UK are in terms of violent criminal activity. The UK is small, violent crime is relatively rare - all the statistics prove that.

    I am sorry your family lives in one of the problem areas though, that must be pretty sucky.

    Oh no, they live in one of the nicer areas. It just goes to show that the scum element is on the move.

    Lets agree to disagree. I will always want to arm the citizens of the UK. I think US police deal adequately with violent criminal activity. Engage in criminal activity if you wish but don't whine when you get a good kicking from the cops. In the UK, the best police can do these days is write a strongly worded letter.

  12. It was South Norwood. Lets face it, South Norwood is a complete hole. You don't stop in South Norwood - you drive straight through and out the other side, quickly. There are various areas of London that should be blown up and this is definitely one of them. Harlesden, Penge, South Kilburn,

    Bermondsey, Peckham, and Walthamstow are the others.

    meaning ... the laws don't work ... :blink:

    Oh i totally agree. Banning knives and guns was a complete success wasn't it? No one, and I mean no one is the victim of gun or knife crime in the UK. :wacko: I think though that blowing up a good number of cesspit london boroughs will do wonders for the crime rate.

  13. Ah, but the GOP have no real argument as to why one shouldn't vote for Dems beyond the Dems stand for tax and spend - and it's a message that people believe, no matter what the evidence to the contrary is. There is this profound mistrust of taxes, it's like a phobia and the mantra of 'tax and spend' is an easy one to dispense.

    Of course, if you are in the upper earnings percentile, it is in your self interest to vote for the GOP as they do try to protect those people from being 'excessively' taxed.

    totally agree. I have always maintained that I will do financially better under a Republican government.

  14. It just seems like Obama has more total morons rooting for him than McCain has.

    What a convincing argument you put forth. :rofl:

    Oh you live in DC ?

    No, but that makes no difference.

    Just because I see tons of McCain/Palin signs in front of crappy trailer homes around here while I see no Obama/Biden signs in front of such properties wouldn't lead me to make a statement along the lines that McCain's supporters tend to live in crappy trailers more so than Obama's supporters.

    And just because there were some sharp Obama supporters coming through our neighborhood last weekend to talk to residents about the Obama/Biden ticket and their platform while no such delegation from the McCain camp has ever made it through doesn't lead me to say that it just seems that there are more very sharp campaign workers hitting the street on behalf of Obama than for McCain.

    Both would be generalizations that make no sense. Just as yours doesn't make any sense.

    If something is a true statement then why doesn't it make sense in your world? If you make the statement that McCain has more supporters living in crappy trailers than Obama does in your town, and it is a true statement, then why wouldn't it make any sense? If there are Obama campaigners knocking on your door, and you have never been visited by a McCain campaigner, then its also a true statement that it seems there are more sharp campaign workers hitting the streets on behalf of Obama than McCain. Just because you don't like something, it doesn't make it nonsensical or a generalization. It just makes it disagreeable to you. Very different things.

  15. Ooh I watched it too. Ok so the blonde woman in her 40's was a complete nut job. The fact that she takes them out in a stroller, buys them very expensive baby clothes, and works her schedule around them is bad enough, but to fly from the UK to the US (with her deranged mother) to actually sit in a hotel room waiting for her "baby" to be "delivered" was just freaky. What about the older woman who wanted a replacement for her grandson who had moved to New Zealand? What was all that about? Hilarious when she showed her new "baby" to her husband who said "I don't like it - it looks like it should be om a mortuary slab". Did anyone notice that most of those dolls were really ugly? These people got to choose what their doll looked like and some of them were hideous. Jeez, at least get a good looking one. Its still freaky but at least it doesn't look like Frankenstein's monster.
