IMO, they're making a big mistake in thinking that 9/11 fearmongering is going to help them. People will not react warmly to this fear

The Armed Forces will be drafted in to run state schools under plans to drive up discipline and respect in classrooms.
Ministers are in talks with defence chiefs about taking over a handful of schools and turning them into military academies.
Alongside daily lessons, pupils would be expected to take part in activities such as drills, uniformed parades, weapons handling and adventure training.
The first state schools set to gain 'military academy' status are understood to be based in Portsmouth and Colchester.
The controversial scheme will initially be in areas where there are a large number of military families, but is set to be rolled out across the country.

And OP this is still America, if the people of Hawaii feel this Bill to be Ill-concieved, they can vote the politicians out of office and repeal the resolution.

LOL!! If it happens so often, why can't you provide a link to one example??

You can't back up what you say, and you think blustering about it will cover up your inadequacy.

Wow. I'd bet money on it. No point in either of us arguing what may happen in a hypothetical, I was just curious what you thought...I think you hold a higher view of our justice system than it deserves.

Again you speak like an expert with nothing to back it up. Please post a link that shows such crimes have occurred.

I asked for a crime that was motivated by racial bigotry. As usual, you can't deliver

Here's what the republican Chamber of Commerce said:

Unlike some people I do not feel my rights superceede this nations security.

If you are a the victim of a crime and the perp is motivated by racial bigotry (ex if a white-hating Asian attacks you) then they will be charged with a hate crime.

And I should believe you, a stranger on the internet, because why???

Big brothers lack of ability in protecting our personal and private information will be a selling point when the time comes that some "expert" tells us that implantable RFID chips that contain all of our personal information

Please note that there is no legal restrictions on who can be a victim of a hate crime. Everyone is covered.

The Virginia Prescription Monitoring Program has reportedly been compromised, with those responsible deleting records and now wanting $10 million before the records are restored, Wikileaks.org discovered.

"I have your [expletive] In *my* possession, right now, are 8,257,378 patient records and a total of 35,548,087 prescriptions," the hacker said in a ransom note. "Also, I made an encrypted backup and deleted the original. Unfortunately for Virginia, their backups seem to have gone missing, too. Uhoh :(For $10 million, I will gladly send along the password."

The Virginia Prescription Monitoring Program website is used to help pharmacists track prescription drug abuse, and has the records of 8 million state residents available through the network.

suppose this kid IS guilty?..........just because hes 16 and a citizen,does this mean he couldnt kill ssomeone?.where are all the voices of the anti gunners who say."if is saves just 1 life.........its worth it?

i havnt saw or read the story....and for the kids sake..i hope he is innocent...............but what if he isnt?

You grab one terrorist, march the rest in, draw & quarter the selected scumbag, then tell the rest, "You scuzz are NEXT if you don't talk!"

At least two people, Cheney and former CIA head General Michael Hayden, beg to differ ....

Rope,tree, and a reporter. Some essembly required.

No, I live here. It is all about white people. Go to the courthouse and check out the deeds and the money and it is all about white people. Google "Brent Warr", the Republican mayor of Gulfport. He got over 200k. He's a multimillionaire.
Not a dozen black families got housing grants -- it was all about white people. Our Governor, Republican Haley Barbour saw to it that the traditional ethnic neighborhoods got nothing. We have entire sections of town with 3 and 5 thousand houses missing. All inhabited by asians and blacks. Pretend all you want. I live here. It's all about white people.

"The Saudi Prince didn't get any money..the company he is a shareholder in got money."

And of course the infusion of 250 billion dollars into the corporation did nothing to affect the value of the shares that he owned.

If the nickname of the Fighting Irish offends you, work to change that

I don't see this in terms of karma necessarily, for that would remove the element of choice, but I most definately agree with the essence of it..

You brought the Saude prince up, not me. Can I help it if you injected into the discussion that a Saudi prince got about the same amount of money as the entire city of New Orleans. You expect me to ignore that?

Some months ago, long before any rumor started about swine flu, a truck driver friend who lives outside of Atlanta confirmed something I had seen online. There was a YouTube video about FEMA buying hundreds of thousands of caskets and storing them outside of Madison, GA. No reason given, they were just....there all of a sudden. Row upon row. Like Rubbermaid's answer to a plague.

Seemed a bit like overkill...if you'll pardon the dark pun. I mean, there was nothing REMOTELY happening in the world at the time to justify that kind of purchase.

He and I speculated at the time that a new [fill in the name] virus must be in the offing.
But we didn't really want to believe that there was any kind of advance preparation for something that didn't exist...yet.

It was just too weird to contemplate.

Look for yourself. This video was added to YouTube August, 2008.

I'll never understanad why people give a hoot about some warning printed on some product.

WTF!! I have to say I never heard of that one.

"how much money Katrina victims got compared to how much this Saudi Prince"

I said nothing about a Saudi prince -- you brought him into the discussion. Don't open the door if you're not prepared to deal with the horses stampeding out.

Oh wow, that's comforting. 3.6% of 250 billion dollars-- would that be about 10 billion -- the exact same that several hundred thousand families in New Orleans received. That sure gives me a warm fuzzy feeling -- the tax payers of this nation gave the same amount of money to one member of the Saudi royal family as they gave to 200,000 families in New Orleans.

I am tired of reading about this disaster and that disaster and the whole thing comes down to people buying houses they could not afford.

The Saudi prince -- and his relationship with the Bush family is what?

"Your implication that all the shareholders of these banks are white would be one. "

You want to bet on the numbers? I'd be shocked if ownership weren't 90% white. Come on, give me your estimate.

Let us focus on the economy first.

Any new drilling they do now won't bring us anything for the next 10 years. I thought everyone knew that.

Petrobras, Brazil’s national oil company, shocked the oil world in November when it announced that its Tupi deepwater field offshore of Rio de Janeiro could hold five billion to eight billion barrels of oil. Analysts think there could be billions of barrels more in surrounding areas.

While the oil will be expensive and complicated to extract, Petrobras has said it expects to be producing up to 100,000 barrels a day from Tupi by 2010, and hopes to produce up to a million barrels a day in about a decade.

did anyone happen to notice this came just after reports of viles stolen from a military base here in the us containg flu viruses

Libertarian is a guise for World Communism

And please show me a racist comment I made.

Because Christianity has become THE establishment, they don't see that they have become the Pharisees during Jesus' day;

Stan Jones, a Montana libertarian widely known for his peculiar blue skin, can arguably be said to have recast the political complexion of the U.S. Senate, turning it from Republican red to the same color as his face.

*snip*

He is also a man who accidentally turned his skin blue by drinking a homemade antibiotic laced with silver.

Maybe, Rush is the new Hitler.
