While all of that is true, the transisition team does NOT make major policy changes. That is reserved for the president. So since he didn't actually start until Jan 77, any policies were those implemented by the outgoing administration. So my comment stands of it's own accord. Correct, but it is when people in government find out who is going to
Mr. Greene, Could you please give me a list I can work on rather than repeating what I already know.
Where did you hear it first used in that context, if you don't mind me asking? The origins of words are always interesting, and I've never come across any reports of black communities that consider whites 'coloured', so your example is particularly interesting. Redd Foxx was the first to use this context in his show Sanford and son. A white cop
Although Irish are considered white Italians are dark people. In the old Apartheid Japanese were honorary white people while Chinese and Koreans were colored. Each nation has its own belief of colored. In some African nations white is colored. Anglo-Saxon are white, while Russians were dark. At one time in America Jews were considered dark people. Generally colored is abnormal to the group. In America Colored used to mean black because it was easier to slam black people by calling them colored.
There´s a lot of evidence that the American government lied. Based on that, the decisions made by the Dutch goverment were wrong. I keep hearing this but I have yet to hear what the lies are that the government told. Could you please list them for me?
The Dutch Government has seported the war in Afghanistan, based on the assumption that 9/11 was executed by 19 terrorist out of Afghanistan. If what you say is true then the Dutch are incredably stupid! From day three it was well known that the majority of the hijackers were of Saudi birth, all of them rich and well educated. The organization the
And just a little side question....."If" we had gone to Iraq over oil as you have suggested, then "why" have we not increased oil shipments from Iraq to the US? Please do not confuse the issue with fact or logic.
In all seriousness, cacto, many working class blacks WILL leave a neighborhood when it gets too 'dark' because with that increasing depth of color comes increasing crime rates, increased drug activity, and a host of other social problems that are overrepresented within that racial group. Or Italians, and Irish they pray funny and lie alot. lol J
I thought you said you were black? Why would the arrival of other blacks make you want to move? Are you so racist to believe that colored means black? LOL I lived in a Jewish section of town and the Italians lived on the other sided of the street. other colored people started moving into my side of the street. Though my father was Roman Catholic
Sorry Paladin but you're wrong. Carter was President from 1977-1981, not 1976 like you claim. November 1976 was when he was elected, I know because I voted for him. He took Office in January 1977. The transisition team took over November. Unlike Mr. Bush who was not allowed to start the transition until mid December. If the best you can do in ni
Right winger, Be nice; I made a mistake. It happens from time to time.
1621 Hone Ave. Live there until the collored people started moving in and we went to Westchester. When I lived in Korea the middle class still washed their clothes in a river, I was shocked to see them do it in the winter time. I have not lived in Spain since the early 80's but if you wanted to watch TV you went to a local bar. Yeah, you are right about the middle class Vs. our poor.
Yes, damn those foreigners who refuse to speak English! They are so rude to know other languages! How dare they only understand the basics, ie that sufficient to ask for a tip but not to understand your conversation! So when I order in french it is ok. and when I tip what I believe the service is worth it is not ok. In each country I lived in I
Piggy: Wow. You deleted all the prior responses to your nonsense. That pretty much says it all. Wimp. I did? I don't recall doing that. I will accept your appology.
And by some of those in the US. Silent, It is a shame that you don't like the country of your birth. You should live in Europe for a few years and you would be begging to come back to the USA. I had the misfortune to be forced to live in France for a whole year. Third World contries had more to offer than France, to prove my point I hav
The United States is perceived to be arrogant and self-centered by many foreign countries. This is not a valid comment. In every country I lived in they all believed their county was the best in the world. Their views on politics are the only correct views. Unlike the Americans I knew overseas these people would presume to tell me what was wrong
People sure as hell seem to like our money though. I noticed that in France. They would refused to speak English until it was time to argue with me that My tip was not big enough.
Americans are despised because they act all around the world like they own everything. American tourists are the loudest and most irrespectuous people you can encounter on vacations pretty much everywhere. Unless you are in America where the Germans, French, and Canadians take those honors.
there's absolutely no reason why intelligence should be revised by political appointees whose only qualification is a willingness to clearly see the emperor's new clothing. why not cut out the middleman and make policy based on preconceived notions. look how successful it was prepping for the invasion of iraq. If that is what you think the teams
on the other hand, your article is rife with factual errors which is exactly why 'most reasonable people' have good reason to question your conclusion. Please point them out for me.
not that reagan took no action whatsoever. as i recall ronnie armed good ol bud mcfarland with gifts and dispatched him to iran to show them imams and ayatollahs that outrage wouldn't go unanswered. Yup, and if you do a little research you will find out that the weapons Iran over paid for did not work for some reason. Yet the weapons sold to Ira
you mean the ones he ordered into action after hezbollah blew up the barracks in beirut killing 240+ marines and other military personnel? good thing he didn't immediately cut n run cuz that woulda for sure convinced islamic terrorists the us had no desire to fight back huh? Yes, that is exactly what happened. We pulled out our regular troops, a
According to an article I read, and posted, here a few weeks ago, Carter allowed the shah to fall mainly because he didn't like Iran's Human Rights record, centering on their treatment of two Soviet spies. He thought Khomeni would make a betetr leader for the country because he was a religious man. Yeah, this goes along with the documenteries and
Oh, and Team B really was a dumb idea. I don't think they got anything right, did they? The B-team was not supposed to get things right or wrong only to put out alternative reports to give a different perspective. It has been used to cover the ass of the Director instead of it's origional purpose.
what sparked the attack on our embassy was actually carter's fault for showing compassion for pahlavi and permitting him to enter our country. in this one instance, i'll agree with you that carter seemed weak. he shoulda remembered our own anti-monarchial revolutionary beginning and literally 'deserted' our leetle friend--by telling him to go back to his desert and pound s
