HeyLars, Women shouldn't be made to ride in the car to prevent groping. For one, the car reeks of perfumes and cosmetics. It's not fair to ask women to ride in their to prevent being sexually assaulted.

I'm sick of how Israel is in the middle of the right vs left issue. I'm sick of how people take a side in the issue just to fall inline with their party's platform.
Israel needs to stop building these settlements that seem to provoke Palestinians. Being against these settlements in no way equates to being anti-Israel or antisemitic. Just being against the hawkish government.

I agree, this article is trash, but you guys should read it before you blame Obama for it. It's AP, just saying.

Though I think Starbucks made the right choice, it is really unnessary to for the gun-enthusiasts to stage this. By carrying unconcealed weapons into a public business establisment, everyone's safety is put at risk. The law should be changed to prohibit carrying weapons into stores and restaurants, unless the establishment applies for a perment that allows customers to come loaded. This way businesses such as Starbucks would not have to turn away customers who are not breaking any laws.
For gun enthusiasts, please imagine guns being replaced by grenades. This is how it feels for non-carriers to be around armed people.

Not sure why everyone is celebrating. Obviously the government buckled under pressure from companies that didn't want to have to pay benefits to foreign workers.

I'm with TokyoRoughGuy. Democrats are only interested in protecting the profits if big business, especially the health insurance companies.

What I find truly barbaric are the comments on this forum. We have no proof so it is too early to assume guilt. People bash the police for sentencing an innocent man, but those same people condemn the accused as guilty.
Taking a bath with one's daughter/step daughter is normal.

10% of people are gay.
The quote began with "I think.."
Any freaking out over someone else's opinion just points to one's own insecurities.

It's too early to make accusations, but I'm thinking this isn't Mossad. Why would they endanger their own people with an operation that uses their people's stolen identities?
Mossad cannot openly deny it because that would ruin their no confirm/no deny approach.
Maybe Hammas was killing 3 birds with one stone?

Could you please stop jumping on these cases to make gun debates? Guns are not the cause of these problems, but definitely a terrible symptom.
Let's all admit that having a gun makes it very easy to something horrible.
Let's also admit that someone snaps and that guns are just a tool used to kill people.
No point getting in an endless debate. Find the real cause of these problems.

Yeah, I completely agree. If I were in a foxhole with a blue-skin and a green-skin guy who hates blue-skin guys, I would not feel safe. I think blue-skinned people should be banned from the military.

Yeah, I just read the comments at yahoo.
Think of it like whenever somethings on youtube, most of the comments are by racists idiots. It's the internet.
But what is really disturbing is that the media is playing up the foreign aspect when this is a political hot-issue cause of voting rights.
