The news these days!
Duh, like we didnt know Claista was anorexic, she was like a walking skeleton!
Is it not illegal in your country to discriminate against people? Being expelled for being gay... Do they allow that there?
It is legal to discriminate against gay people in all aspects of life; schools, housing, employment, and medical treatment to name a few. At least it is in Missouri. You can be legally fired for being gay. Scary, isn't it?
The Domino theory. Kabul,Baghdad,Tehran,?
It wont be pretty
It seems like what counts as news anymore really isn't news. Eminem is getting divorced? Who the fuck cares!?
Meanwhile, the stories that are happening, seem to be same-old-same old, or like you said, we saw it coming a mile away. Why is it there are days when the news seems like Ground Hogs Day?
Why thank you for the compliment
Oh my word I think that its so sad the discrimination is at government leval in the USA! Didn't the stonewall riots help at all??
Also howcome is the church so intrenched in politics. It shouldn't be there...
Yes...seemsw we areally be distracted from the big issues with all this petty stuff.
No one is protesting that gas is now literally $3.00/gallon.
The Immigration issue has gotten way out of control. We are actually gonna establish legalized slavery. That is what the guest worker program is....OMG.
Homosexuals are the lowest minority there is... we have seen our rights that were fough for being taken away slowly. We will never get the equality this country promises. The level of discrimation against homosexuals from the government and christian religions is becoming dangerous.
Not to mention the hypocrisy of the "Freedom of Speech". For those of you who watched South Park...Comedy Central caved into terrorism. They refused to allow an image (a clean one) to be shown of Mohammad....but they aired the episode anyway showing American deficating on each other....the President...and Jesus Christ. I know what there goal was...."either it is all okay...or none of it". The correct situation they wanted was for it to be either shown in it's entirity or not air. The USA has become a dictorial state.
