tent, right! I had forgotten this, but isn’t the oil sand only good for about twenty or so years? I may be off on this. Hum, wasn’t this on a news media report, Osgood File a while back.

As for the wars, I believed, or was led to believe by a few university professors that our grandchildren would be paying for Iraq I, but this did not turn out to be true. Again, Iraq II may not be a long term debt if the economy keeps humming as it is now. Again, it might if wbya again listens to Cheney and Rummy. Thankfully, Rice won the last round against Cheney regarding Iran. Phew!

But I was just kidding.

Just a side note:
The building was restored after being burned (1814) by British troops, and the smoke-stained gray stone walls were painted white. Despite popular myth the cognomen “White House” was applied to the building some time before it was painted. The name became official when President Theodore Roosevelt had it engraved upon his stationery. Part of the house was rebuilt (1949–52) on a steel-supporting frame. The grounds, which cover about 18 acres (7 hectares), are attractive with broad lawns, fountains, trees, and gardens. They were planned by Andrew Jackson Downing. Pennsylvania Ave. between the White House and Lafayette Square was closed to vehicular traffic in 1995 for security reasons.

It was probably called the White House, simply because it was painted white,.

Well, that certainly proves it.

The information came from a browse search regarding the White House. I assumed the intelligent posters would realize that I found this on line, espcially since I have repeatedly said I have no History reference materials in Nevada.

1 - i guess you like the circumstances you live in, good for you… i suppose you don’t care much about the people who don’t get as lucky?

2 - you misunderstood, i’m not talking about life or death for me or you… but for many people the human rights groups defend, it is

3 - even the worst criminals in the world are human and hence have human rights, which doesn’t necessarily include freedom, but a decent investigation if they are even guilty is the least…
ironically, some of the worst criminals become president of the USA (or Chile or whatever)… what a contrast, eh? :stuck_out_tongue:

If there was an invasion of Canada, if I saw it coming, I’d move out of the country before-hand, but I don’t see an invasion coming soon.

After I left home A due to basterd B, I would run to home C, then later enter into home B – and…

31

Chuckle, I suppose you mean Wbya? What about Clinton’s perjury? Then there was the Cold Warrior JFK, The Bay of Pigs, The Cuban Missle Crisis.

willem, we can agree to disagree.

check the websites of amnesty and human rights watch … check em now… see for yourself how much attention goes to any given part of the world

i can understand you don’t feel comfortable with such critisism on the country you live in, but it’s really no reason to piss on the people that do good work

antiUS agenda or anti USagenda?

that’s the whole joke of it :confused: the most cruel bastard of them all gets a trial while people who are much more a victim of their time are in guantanamo etc are locked in for years while it’s not even been properly established if they are guilty of anything…

of course we can… if i sound harsh it’s not intentional :slight_smile:
i rarely hold grudges or anything…

This one supports your claim:
voanews.com/english/2006-06-07-voa3.cfm

This too, and it regards an Islamic Rights Group:
mindanews.com/index.php?option=c … &Itemid=63

This one regards Israel’s recent marraige laws:
isn.ethz.ch/news/sw/details.cfm?id=16104

This one is about the recent diversion gay marraige ban:
sovo.com/thelatest/thelatest … og_id=7338

You are right! I just did a Google search regarding human rights news. Hum, but why is it we only hear regarding the blasts against the USA and Israel. Tells me media bias is at work.

Chuckle, willem, I may be a patriot, and a capitalist, (with restrictions for basic worker safety and pay) but am not blind to our many stains and misdeeds. Remember, I do not hate Wbya, but I do believe he is a belligerent and very stupid. Also, I believe Cheney and Rummy have run the government, that is until recently. Finally, Rice won a round against the belligerent Cheney.

Also, I am here to learn, not win. This is a discussion board, not a life or death event.

The problem is that our media only discusses the antiUSA human rights issues and are always so very PC. They seldom, if ever, discuss the human rights violations occuring in other countries. It all seems to be slam the USA BS.

Yep, but do we dare allow these people go free to return to kill our troops, or for that matter us?

Chuckle, I do! Especially when some idiot threatens to homicide himself, his whole family, murder any innocent around to murder me. Pathetic. I also do when another idiot calls me incestuous. Sounds like a jealous soul who had a lousy childhood. Then there is… well, I will let it go at that.

Chuckle, I also believe FDR knew that Japan was going to attack in 1941, espcially since all our carriers were not in Pearl, and the final on all the Japanese military academies was “How would you conduct an attack on Pearl Harbor.”

Willem,

Just out of interest, what do you make of Amnesty’s ongoing claim to ‘not being a political organisation’? Now, I’ve never had much time for Amnesty International because almost every single person I’ve met from their groups was patronising and moronic and didn’t seem to understand the processes that they were fighting against. As with anything else, an organisation is only as good as the people that are in it. But this claim in particular confused the hell out of me - as far as I’m concerned, if you are involved in any sort of struggle where the term ‘rights’ is being used then you are political. Of course, to a bunch of bleeding heart moronic leftists, ‘not political’ means ‘not directly affiliated with any particular political party or institution’.

35

i don’t see why :slight_smile:

though, i don’t know much about the internal structure of amnesty, i just checked the sites really, because i couldn’t believe these organisations would only focus on the US while i keep hearing about them protesting against violations in russia, china, africa and europe on the belgian news
i’ve never met a volunteer for such an organisation who wasn’t very friendly or didn’t know very well why he what he did
… then again it’s not like i run into them every day :stuck_out_tongue:

36

i never said you should, did i? :slight_smile:

anyway, aspacia, i certainly don’t see discussion boards as a life or death matter, although some things i see here strongly worry me

the last part of your post managed to confuse me a lot :stuck_out_tongue:

greetings
willem

37

Primarily because ‘rights’ are political concepts and if you are fighting over them then that fight is political. But more generally, all struggles involve more than one person (except the war that is within each ‘individual’ person, but that can be put into language) and are therefore political.

38

hmm… i’m not sure i agree with that… human rights are far too important to be left to politicians… they should be every human’s concern

hehe, you probably know this but i’ll mention it anyway… the arabic word for the ‘war within each person’ is ‘jihad’ :slight_smile:
not that this is relevant to this post in any wat ^^

looking at it that way… what part of humanity is not political? ^^
anyway… you’re free to call it a political thing, by your definition it probably is (again, what isn’t?)
but i was really just pointing out to aspacia that the human rights organisations don’t necessarily have USA bashing on their agenda… at least it doesn’t show from the attention they give to each region of the world
perhaps the US people are more receptive to their messages concerning the US, but that’s more a media problem than it is a problem that origins in those organisations :slight_smile:

39

Sorry, my intent was not to confuse you. Hum, our news media tends to focus on what the US did to violate others rights and not how badly other countries violate human rights.

In the West we do have certain rights within our legal structure, and are very free compared to most lands and this includes Europe. Once a person violates these laws, they relinquish much of their own freedom.

With regards,

i think the problem is a lot of people see the freedoms they have as a given and their responsibilities in relation to the ‘state’

while actually their freedoms are something very valuable, and for a large part a consequence of the behaviour of others, and the responsibilities that come with it are in relation to the people around them

well, that’s how i see it anyway :slight_smile:
