I broke this down right away, and my conclusions after reading the police report are pretty consistent to this day. Probability #1 I agree, their actions were outrageous, but yet, within legality. I think from speaking with Muslims about it, that this probably was a stunt, a sort of "if you want to make me out to be a criminal, I'll just do it it to prove you right" mentality. Probability #2 Less likely I think is that they actually got on a plane and just disregarded

"No, I haven't seen the police report, and neither have you." Well I've seen the one in a previous link, with handwritten information, from primary sources, signed affidavits. But you're right I'm looking at a media conspiracy. "You've seen what someone portrayed to be the police report, just like it was portrayed over and over that they talked loudly about bin Laden." The document indicates the conversation involved the Saddam Hussein verdict. If it was a portrayal o

"I've told you this before and I'll say it again. Ever hear of the "right" to refuse service? You doubt it's validity? Try walking into a restaurant in America without shoes on your feet. Weren't you the one complaining about losing rights?" The Imam's were wearing shoes, and they were denied boarding, according to the police report, because they were praying in the terminal. In the most sarcastic way I agree with you. Let's deplane everybody who does anything suspicious, or ev

I agree with you Col, this war's costs are vastly outweighing the rewards. Even if there would eventually be a success, in a reasonably time, lets say a stable democratic government inside of 3 more years. We'd still have North Korea with a nuke, and Iran with a good possibility of having a nuke. As for when this problem will be solved, I would have to say that once our involvement on the ground ceases and things find a new equilibrium inside Iraq that's when the violence will subside,

"I have asked you repeatedly to be more specific when decrying the 'loss of basic rights' involved in this particular case, because flying on an airplane is not a "right" no matter how loosely you interpret our Constitution." Correct, flying on an airplane in not a right guaranteed under the constitution. However practicing your religion is. That's the reason they were detained along with other "suspicious activity", namely, being Muslim. "a private transportation refusing ser

Ok good, the case I made, against the title of the article, is in no way an endorsement for bad parenting. Rather, that all parents should have the rights and responsibilities in their hands, until they prove to be unable to make those decisions. There's a story going around about a lady who microwaved her kid. That is the kinda child abuse that, would in mind, that would prevent a person from ever being allowed to care for children. However, parents who just want their kids to survive

"As a parent, you create the life, you are responsible for the decisions for that child, as long as you are mentally capable of making "life or death" decisions" Hey Pam, where in this statement do you see an advocation for child abuse? "Even some parents don't deserve that right." I agree, deserving or not, once you make children it is your right and responsibility to care for them as best you are able. There are legal punishments for murder which is what the case you

"yet would seek to force painful and unwanted care on micro-preemies." I would seek for the parents and legal guardians to make the choice with the help of doctors rather then taking that right away from them and leaving in solely in the hands of doctors. These were comments taken out of context, one was a rebuttal to someone's twisting of my original statement that the decision should always lie with the parents, the second is the same statement.

I would seek for the parents and legal guardians to make the choice with the help of doctors rather then taking that right away from them and leaving in solely in the hands of doctors. There are babies in Japan, where they have made an effort to give them the chance and care, and the rates of success are climbing every year. Rather then just pick an arbitrary number of weeks at which we deny the rights of p

"Don't you dare talk to people wanting to spare their child a brief life of pain and misery as though they are heartless and don't value life. The fact is those who post such things have never lived it, and so would be wise to remain silent." I'm sorrowed to learn of your loss. I agree that I don't have the exprience that you speak of, but I simply refuse to accept that any child shouldn't be given at least the chance at survival. I'm not a parent, but if and when I so become one, I won

Removed, capture, and brought to trial a brutal tyrant. E.

"I'm finished speaking with you for good." Well at least on this topic. If it were true, and fact, and there was more to find, I think a really huge case would have been made by the Republicans regarding that, considering they made the case in the beginning. It was the primary reason for this war. If you are in the military or inside the government and have access to more then I do then that's great. My question to you and those who hold that information is why not sh

Yeah, do you know what an elipse and a circle are? If so, then you should conclude that what is meant by the sentence "-We also know the orbit of the earth was more eliptical at one time. " is that the orbit of the sun is more circular then eliptical now. Get it? Moot point anyway. Actually I don't please explain. An elipse is more of an ovular shape, sort of an egg shape, lends at least in computer models to climate changes that vary more both up and down in the course of
