Offer they cant refuse..

In Burma there is close to 100,000 dead and they will not let people in to help out. The Us is trying to help but the Junta will not allow it. The US is going to end up spending tons of money on this cause and we cant afford this. There are many other countries in the UN that can help out. With the way our economy is right now i dont believe we should help anyone untill we can help ourselvs first.

Next President..

The next president needs to focus on the economy. Our gas prices and home values are way to high and no one can survive in this country. The government needs to stop funding a war in other countries when we cant even afford to live in our own. This country is falling fast into a recession and soon a depression. They need to figure something out and the Next President should be one to bring us back up on top.

Welcome th Hizballahstan

Hizballahstan miltia and Lebaneze supporters are fighting throughout the streets. Open gun fire and bombs around every corner are what await the civilians on this country. This country is in a civil war and its people are in danger. The fighting needs to end and be peaceful.

Out of the Ruins

The earthquake in China were a 7.9 and ruined many of things. Thousands of people are missing beneth the rubble and many are already found dead. This is a bad disaster and China needs they help from the world. After the first two days the death tolls were at 15,000. China is a mess right now between the Olympics and this new disaster. China needs some help.

Genes

A bill has been passed and is ready to be signed by W himself. This bill states that employers can not use your genes against you to not hire you say maybe you have a cancer gene or something they cant turn you down because in the future you might die or something or that nature. Also for healt insiurence companiees cant turn you down because you might get sick because of your genes and actually need them to help you. Believe it or not the Insurence companies might have to do somethign for there clients if they got sick heaven forbid. This is a good bill to pass because people are idiots and to discriminate on someones genes, now come on, thats just low.

The Long View

Isreal is now 60!!! Happy birthday to you but...what are you? Diverse yes but your religion identity is unknown. Your Jewish but rather seem to be only portraying a Jew on the outside. Very few people wear the black hats and long beards and hair. The people of Isreal are more worried about Iran and whether or not those people over there are going to start a nuclear war or not and if they will attack them first! I believe that religion can be put on hold while they sort out the existance of this country.(nuclear war, means no more country, which means no worry about any religion)

Why the World can NOT afford food..

Poor harvest is a good place to start. With many droughts and bad weather its hard to even grow anything to begain with. Increasing price in oil is another one. With gas prices skyrocketing farmers cant afford to ship or transport there crops in any way across nation or sea to make money. Diversion of crops for biofuel, we are basicly using our food to help with the gas prices and end up hurting ourselvs even more. Then there is China. Well not only China but India as well, there economys are growing and they are now able to afford fruit and meat so they are buying alot which leabves less for the rest of us. :(

Burma's Second Agony

Burma is a very small country and one with many problems. The military is not a helpful one and the people are left to fend for themselvs. They are high believers in omens and believe that this cyclone that has hit them is one of them. They were hit with a devestating cyclone that did much damage and killed many people. These people who live here basically have to protect themselvs and help revive there nation on there own.

Radiohead

Time magazine just put out the 100 most influential people of the year but they ailed to rank them. In my eyes Radiohead would be number one. They broke the music world right open letting fans pay what they want for their cd and thats amazing. Metalica in the past has sued fans for pirating music and now the bands are actuially letting the people who matter most (fans) choose the price. Radiohead are the first to do this which is going to open up a major factor in recordlables. Nine Inch NAils have followed Radiohead up by giving an album out to the fans for free online and then letting them buy it if they feel the need to pay for it. The music industry is a beautiful place.

Show Us Our Money!

Do you make the same amount at work as your co-workers do? Have you ever asked? I personally have asked and make sure that i make the same amount as my co-workers do because we do they same job and have they same amount of experioence so its only fair. Some people believe that to be a bit rude and personal but i believe that your entitled to know how much your co-workers make so your not getting dicked over on pay check after paycheck. A lady working for Goodyear got screwed for 20 years before she found out, so next time your at work see how much others make and hold your own.

When Will They Be Ready?!?

When will the Iraqi soliders be ready to take up their own and protect there country from terrorism without US help? Who knows. They are not ready as of now even though they go through multiple trainings and drills they still call upon our troops to help them out in battles and what not. Once they can fend for themselvs we can pull our troops out and get them back here safely where they should of been from the begging.

Gem of an Idea

Mining for gold and diamonds is a dirty job and causes many of problems with it as well. People fight and kill over the millions of dollares they are worth. But Botswana is using the diamond industry to help its economy. In only a decade it brought its 1.3 million people out of poverty and is partnerd up with the worlds largest diamond business, De Beers. The economy is growing and the country is doing much better with is diamond industry. De Beers is moving into the capital of Botswana and is suposed to create around 3000 more jobs for the people there. Diamonds are bringing these people a good life.

Rules of Disengagement

Federal employes are wanting to be able to not invest in countries with terrorist ties. They dont want to put their retirement money in hands of terrorist. An antiterrorism ban has already started to happen with people pulling away from their firms to put an end to terrorism and not invest in their countries. America is trying to get other countries to join in and stop investing in countries that either support or have major terrorist organizations. This is a great idea, i mean if you want to put an end to terrorism not putting money into that countries economy is one way to start to end it.
