Welcome to Election 2006. No political agenda or vision for the future needed. All you need is a good scandal to tag onto an entire party. This year's freak show -- Mark Foley. It's amazing... one perv from Florida hits on a 16-year-old page, and the entire Republican party is responsible? I will be very disappointed if THIS is what gives Democrats control of the House, like many "polls" are saying. If you voted GOP in the last election, is this scandal going to change your vote this time around?

Dear Global Justice Activist,
The Bush administration and House GOP leadership are once again attempting to bypass democratic process and avoid public scrutiny by pushing a devastating and reckless NAFTA expansion through Congress. The Peru-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (PUFTA) is being scheduled for vote soon after the November 7th election in a "lame duck" session of Congress. By pushing for a vote in this limbo period, before the new Congress takes office in January, it is hoped that voters will find it hard to hold their elected officials accountable.
Lets send Congress a strong message showing our vigilence and deep concern on this important issue!
TAKE ACTION NOW
Call your representative and senators to demand they take a position now. Ask for a letter before the election confirming their position.
Send an email to your representative, and both senators, to demand they take a position now. Ask for a response before Election Day explaining their position.
Write a Letter to the Editor to your local newspaper exposing this undemocratic plan to sneak a vote and demanding that your representative make his or her position public.
Distribute a PUFTA fact sheet in your community (PDF).
Learn More at Global Trade Watch
Global Exchange, working with Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch in Washington, DC needs you to take these urgent actions. PUFTA is bad for the economy (ours and Peru's), the fragile ecosystems of the Amazon basin and poses a threat to both regional and international security.

The U.S that stands by while attrocities are being committed in Kosovo, Rwanda, Darfur and Zimbabwe, because they dont have any natural resources to exploit.
The US that for years protected the Fascist dictator Baptista in Cuba, who kept Cubans in austerity, because he was in the pocket of the United Fruit Company.
The US that supports a military Junta in Pakistan, because he says nasty things about Bin Laden.
The US that was selling arms to Nazi Germany until 1941 (arms that would later kill ordinary American forces). What better way to work your way out of the depression.
The US, who's President's family and friends have huge amounts of money invested in an arms company, who's profits have gone through the roof because of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Not that I don't hate America (and I do), but if we went into Kosovo, Rwanda, Darfur, and Zimbabwe the same way we went into Iraq, we'd get taken the piss out of for invading them. And if we hadn't gone into Iraq, we'd probably get taken the piss out of for letting atrocities happen there, too.

I dont trust any politician. They all make promises, but once the election is won its their game. They rule OVER us (instead of everyone being equal), they're greedy, theyre lame, and theyre all a bunch of old, ugly, bald, perverted fucks. I love the ideology behind America, except in reality greed consumes our leaders. We can't even DARE consider communism, my family is Cuban and let me tell you that shit DOES NOT work and will never work unless someone like Jesus or Ghandi were leaders of the ruling political party. Fuck Castro and all other commies, a bunch of murderous thieves is what they all are. I dont trust the Government, but I do have to say that the American system is probably the best.
The masses (ordinary people) of this country lost control gradually, its not our fault as we have to goto work, come home, and deal with all kinds of shit everywhere in between. Most people dont have time to research everything and make sure that our politicians are doing whats best, we have to make time for this. The only chance this country has is to regain control and keep a very tight leash on ploitics, show them that WE (the masses) run the show. If we dont regain control soon, the New World Order will be successful and we'll be slaves to our governments.

It comes down to this; When the United States stands by and does nothing people like you say "It's America fault, they should have done this, they should have done that!" And...when we jump in an do what has to be done (like Iraq), you yell and claim "See all the terrible things America is doing!," Yes, that might be a little on the "either/or mentality" side of looking at things, but it's an old story and true none the less. No matter what we do, moron's like you find fault in it. Having explained this to you; it is my reason for saying loudly...PISS OFF, EURO-TRASH! :mad: We're tired of your complaining.

Tell me, does your country even intervene period? It's easy to sit on the side pointing out the faults of others, anyone can do that. We help out certain other countries that we intervene with, even if we may be going in for personal profit, it just becomes a fair trade-off. It's common business logic. You don't spend a dollar on something unless you know it is going to return more to you than the worth of the original dollar. If we went around trying to fix everyone's problems, regardless of whether it would return anything for us, we'd become a third world nation in no time because we'd be completely unable to fund the effort.
England and the rest of Europe needs to lower their noses about 45 degrees and realize this.

If you hadnt spent so long "making money", Hitler wouldn't have taken Europe.
As for saving our asses, you're kidding right? Hitler had almost given up trying to take Britain. We'd decimated the Luftwaffe and the Royal Navy were comfotably holding the English Channel. He decided for an all out assault on Russia and got as far as Staligrad. After which the Russians pushed them back and took Berlin.
The Soviets won WWII.
BBO, of course we intervene. We supported the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We also had to push for intervension in Kosovo to save Muslim lives.
It's good that you can accept that the U.S's military is a tool for making money. The problem with that is it that you pay your taxes to make money for the shareholders of companies like Carlysle and Halliburton. This moey doent go to the American people it makes them (Bush and Cheney) richer.

No one has said you (Britain) didn't play your part, you did indeed (and very well), but without U.S. help, you would have probably lost the war with hitler. Of that, there is little debate. You did decimate the Luftwaffe, but with help from pilots from several countries including the U.S. ...and, have you forgotten Lend-Lease?
No one has said that Great Britain did not play a major role in defeating hitler, Italy and the Japanese, British troops disgingushed themselves over and over, and also played a major role on D-day and many other WWII fields of battle (including, as you say...the battles fought by the Royal Navy), but again, you needed U.S. help to win WWII.

A little girl was stoned, not lethally, at the Jean-Mermoz school in Lyon,France, for not observing Ramadan?? WTF is that obsurd action about? What form of government would allow such pre-historic religous action to take place? (I realize England and France are not the same country here, but is France that fukking much of a topspin?)
And the U.S., the global business office of the world, <eyeroll>. .. .allowing businesses to "move shop" to another country for cheaper labor wages, leaving the working-American unemployed. -Globalization may be viewed as the growth opportunity for a business or organization, but what in bleeding hell does'nt world economist see -- this weakening action on an economy, and justly speak up? The world today is plagued with viable point's of argument, but instead of following suit w/ an instigated arguement. ... .We as inhabitant's of Earth should view more stringent environmental values, and thus find logical answers instead of chasing the $$$$Loot$$$$. As a people, various government's should learn how it is more beneficial to work together.
I must confess, it's an entertaining sit, to read thru all of the -BS members- diffferent views
-but seriously folk's. YOU ALL seem well-read, and brilliant in you own right. Is it more wise to retaliate to an argument, or devise a plan of compromise. I'm not sure 'Big Government' will ever not be a part of civil society...But if your all as wise as you like to portray--let's figure out how we can take our world 'back'. I fully support 'we the people' of the United States of America regaining control of our nation. However, I'm not knowledgeable enough of European policies to have an educated opinion.
Is it really the 'best answer' to keep on extending our global grasps until the lines that differentiate governments is no longer there?
..well that's about all I got to spout out fer now, but hopefully one of yoohoo's will plugg out an enlightened view on the matter.

Great post normlman.
England and France have completely different attitudes towards the Muslim immigrant population. In France, it's illegal to wear any kind of religious symbol in a public place (be it a Muslim veil, Turban or even a crucifix) and I believe this causes their communities to be insular and even more unlikely to integrate into society. In Paris recently there have been riots by Muslims who live in their own areas of the city, are generally unemployed and forgotten by their govenerment. I'm not saying we dont have problems here (as the London bombing show) but here its a very small minority of people who can't integrate.
Freakazoid, your right we needed US help. Just dont kid yourselves that you came into the war like a whole army of "John Rambo's" and "saved our asses".
We all saved each other's asses, and that includes the Russians.
By the time you guys came in, Hitler was stuck into a losing battle with Stalin which to which he diverted forces from the western front. If he hadn't done that he would have taken Britain and we all would have been fucked.

I didn't know that about France either, but I do know that it's just about impossible to swear in French without taking the Lord's name in vain. That's one reason I have no interest in learning the language - I refuse to take the Lord's name in vain but a language in which I can't swear is worthless to me.

So if they're religious lifestyles are infringed upon, why do they even live there?
Are they afraid to unfuck their own country??
Is there some historical link for muslims in France?
