I believe that Islamic Extremist are the only other group of people that believe God/Allah would/should use mentally ill people to enact his divine retribution. A perfect example of the state and religion should remain seperate.

This is a logical contradiction, a liberal congress(2006~2008) voted for many of Bush's policy. TARP and the first round of the Auto-bailouts are prime examples. Your attitude is exactly the problem partisan politics cuases, not all Republican policies are wrong and not all liberial policies are wrong. Calling all Republican policies wrong forces good policies to become bad. If a moderate democrat put out a policy that Republicans like, it's wrong, because Republicans are never right(according to your own agrument).

This pretty much nicely sums up partisan politics. The response no doubt from the left, the right called us names frist. Why not just say, I am rubber you're glue, it's on the same intelligence level. Obama may create 600,000 jobs, he might not create 600,000 jobs, it's not going to make a difference. Partisan politics will insure that mostly far left and far right politicans are elected, leaving a hole in the middle where common sense use to reside. Without common sense good policies are doomed to fail because the other side will always say their bad and bad policies will implemented because both sides pender to those lacking common sense.

Didn't know the Associated Press was state run.
Just because some media penders to left doesn't mean they are state run. They are companies that exist to make profit, if baising themselves towards the left makes more money for them, then they are doing what any good company does, just like FOX does when it panders to right. If talking about where Obama goes in Paris is uninteresting to you, don't read about it. It would seem though that enough people want to read about it, so a profit can be made and therefore it should be printed/reported about.

Good luck with that, the primary reason that Canada is the US's #1 trade partner is becuase Canada is the US's #1 supplier of Oil. Buy America would violate NAFTA, which in turn would mean that Canada would no longer be forced to sell Oil to America at below market value.

Not unlike the tea partyers and the whole tranny of the majority thing. Ironic considering that tea partyers, are one of the least likely groups to support gay rights.

Like he did with North Korea in 2006?
When did South Korea stop being at war with North Korea? I think the word they were looking for should have been "escalation".

Ah yes Roppongi, human nature at its finest, it is a magnet for the sleaze of Japan both Japanese and foriegners.
I seem to remember that there were Nigerian touts even in Sapporo around the end of tanuki koji, where there was rap/hip hop clothing store.

Generally agree but having lived in or near Vancouver most of my life, Air India Flight 182 and the fighting(a few people died) over eating at tables vs. sitting on the ground come to mind.

This is an odd agruement, games are fictitious and therefore any crimes committed in a game are not real crimes.
Posted in: As far as storylines are concerned, we cannot easily say 'no' because freedom of expression is at issue. Some novels, comics and movies also contain extreme content.

It's interesting that they waited for the "mock bombs" to be planted before they arrested the suspects. Does actually planting the explosive make it more of crime then preparing plans and assemebling the explosives.

The irony of some of the more extreme religious stances;
It's not ok to kill a fetus and state should interfere with the parents choices.
but
It's ok to stop your child from getting chemotherapy(essential killing him) and the state shouldn't interfere with the parents choices.

I suppose so many "Moderate" Americans agree with you, that they have all been buying American cars with whatever MPG they happen to have. That is why the Big 3 are doing so well. Oh, wait their broke becuase no one was buying thier cars. Obama and Bush should have never given any bailout money to the big three, they should have let them go broke. I wonder what kind of car selection would have existed? A possible good point for Obama, it would be pretty hard to do worse the past/current car companies management did.
On a certian level I don't mind low MPG American car, Oil and Gas contracts in the area of Canada I live in are quite lucrative and where do they get their money from?

Obama should be taking advantage of this, accelerate troop transfers from Iraq to Afghanistan and don't allow the Taliban to have an out. Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide.

I doubt the percentage is that high but then again there is no accounting for some people's tastes, especially in Japan.

The investors made a poor investment in Chrysler. If Chrysler had be let go and became bankrupt like it should have, the investors/bond holders would have been up a creek without a paddle.

It could be because the Presidency but as well Canada is one of the few NATO countries that isn't dependent on Russian Oil and therefore Russia has nothing to threaten Canada with other than expelling dignitaries.

It would be impressive to stab yourself in the neck and then tie yourself up.
No mention of the father/husband in the report, wonder if he is died or estranged.

If you look at the link I posted in the above part of my post, Japanese cars sold in America have on average around 65%~%70% of their parts being built in US/Canada. When means that you mostly throwing support behind those workers, because the remainder the profit after that mostly goes to Executives and Shareholders(who are the same in Japan and North America).
