I have decided that I wont be using Joeuser anymore and was wondering if there was anyway to close my account and get rid of my blog pages? Any ideas?

You'll no doubt be glad that the 90 days was defeated then. Good to see that democracy is still alive and well, although Tony rounding on MPs and calling them out of touch seems a little like sour grapes. Another "anti-terror" related legislation that is hideously misguided is the Incitement to Racial Hatred bill, which has so far failed to go through the Lords. It seems that this has united evangelical Christians, the Secular society, the gay
Marvin, do you read your Bible and display love and understanding towards your enemies? By the look of your blog it seems that you have a very unloving outlook on the world at large and, from my viewpoint across the Atlantic, demonstrate the bad side of American Christianity. Unfortunately this is the face that is most seen and most shown by the media and is summed up by an American politician saying that the religious right's way of dealing w
Nice try at the liberal trick of flinging accussations to see if they stick You can correct me if I'm wrong but have you not just labelled Myyr a liberal with this comment? You can't have it both ways
I have a conspiracy theory for you RH. Why do you believe there were no WMD's found in Iraq? IEDs have been found all over the place. Isn't a bomb a weapon? Doesn't it cause large amounts of destruction I can't quite work out if you're being serious or not with that quote. I will give you the benfit of
In any dispute between the Internet and the President of the United States, I'm inclined to give the President the benefit of the doubt. However, what could be the legal basis for detaining Padilla as a POW? I will continue to investigate Let us know if you turn up anything interesting as I don't quite
pleaseeeeeeee that so called hot bed was already there Ok, those reports I read of terrorists flooding across the borders during, and after, the war were all made up?
Charge 1: Liberating a despoticly ruled country Charge 2: Bringing down a tyrant (kinda similar to #1) Charge 3: Bringing freedom to a repressed country (also kinda similar to #1,and #2) 4: Invading the country despite international law 5: Invading on false pretences 6: Not having a seeming plan for short-term stab
It is Europeans trying him after all.......... And people say that Americans are arrogant and xenophobic......
You chew our asses out for going into Iraq, and then chew them out for not going into Sudan and Rwanda? Are you really that blinkered to think that these are comparable? The west sat back and let millions be slaughtered in Rwanda
I'm not one of "the secular left" I'm actually a Christian and know that all mankind is created in the image of God, whether they believe that or not, whether they follow God or not, whether they come from the west, the middle east or anywhere else. That's my main problem with Gitmo and some of the comments that I've heard surrounding it. These people are still people, still created in the image ot God, still desrve some sort of treatment as h
Fact is, this really is a rightwing blog site, I seem to be getting that impression from the general comments around and about. Maybe its because the right wingers are a lot more aggressive and shout the loudest, therefore get heard the most
I have noticed a trick by experienced bloggers who reply to their own posts to get the ball rolling, so I'll try it this time
Also what he was being tried for could not be considered "terrorist" acts. So be that as it may, they still haven't come up to speed on terrorism as a war crime. I think this is where the problem may come from, that this sort of global terrorism, that is being blurred with war, seems a new situation for which the international community is not le
I noticed that one of the Google ads down the side of the JU homepage was advertising Anti-Bush bumper stickers. Does anyone else find this as amusing as I did and does anyone think it represents the views of the JU ownership?
Think about this for a moment. When were the last "war crime tribunals"? Correct me if I'm wrong (and I'm sure you will) but was Milosevic not tried for war crimes recently, due to the conflict in the former Yugoslavia?
I could respond to a lot of points that were raised in this discussion, but I will respect the original post and not get political (as I'm sure it would, as any questioning of America/Bush is immediately jumped on and it soon resorts to attacks, rather than discussion) Some Americans really do scare me from reading around the Joe User sites for the last couple of months! Arrogance and doing whatever you want to do is not admirable in
They are guilty of being civilian combatants in a war zone Do we know for certain that every single person being held at Gitmo is?
discuss what do we do with these killers and terrorist My vote would be to start seperating the ones who are terrorists and killers from the ones who are not and then start dealing with them! I agree that the situation is somewhat complex but if you are accusing someone of something then surely they are innocent or guilty, maybe not in a
There seems to be a general feeling on here that these guys are eithe all guilty of some crime that they can not be charged with because they are not criminals in the conventional sense my mind's just given way!
You know maso I've asked this question before and have not got an answer yet. Just what crime would you charge them with? Found guilty? Of what? Get it right old man. War does NOT go hand in hand with the criminal justice system. But are there not international standards for how prisoners of war are to
--Sadly...IMO,those we know are definantly terrorists, I say we gas them...they,IMO, have given up there rights as humans when they helped murder others... And if you gassed them, thereby killing them, that would be a good solution how? Surely you are becoming what you are trying to fight?
So we should just leave tyrants and dictators in power? If the U.S. doesn't do anything about it, who will? I don't think we will get anywhere with this one because you can't even start to realise the point I'm making and where I am coming from. I'll agree to disagree But then if I di
Who else is going to do it....France maybe? I wasn't questioning who should do it, but whether it should be done in the first place, in the way it is being done by the USA. Did your government officials study a bull in a china shop when they were deciding foreign policy?
How can we debate the issues when someone uses the phrase: I don't care about someone else's opinion
