We defended ourselves from what? The attack on the World Trade Centers?

Stone Cold · 08-03-2003, 07:35 PM

from MY understanding it was from the terrorists who organized the attack in the first place, we were trying to get the ones responsible before they would do it again. but then again we could have done nothing and let it happen again, i know that's a great solution...

well going around the planet blowing things up isn't really the best way to make the world like you... so yeah I know its tricky... Its like if you do nothing then something negative will happen... but if you do something people will hate you for that... so yeah not good

"I believe marriage is between a man and a woman and I believe we ought to codify that one way or the other and we have lawyers looking at the best way to do that," the president said.

"I am mindful that we're all sinners and I caution those who may try to take a speck out of the neighbor's eye when they got a log in their own," he said. "I think it is important for our society to respect each individual, to welcome those with good hearts."
"By saying he has charged government attorneys to explore ways to 'codify' the 'sanctity of marriage,' and through numerous biblical references in his discussion about this issue, the president is clearly signaling his conviction that his personal religious beliefs should be the basis for governing law," said GLAAD media director Cathy Renna.

I agree george W. However,
in a poll in south african radio website. Should gay marriages be legally recognised?

Yes, love is love 79%
No, Bush and the Vatican are right 19%
I have no opinion 2%

ugh, I don't like this church and state mixing. Why does the president have to do that? The fact that he brings religion into this is distrubing and wrong.

well the majority of the world didn't/doesn't like us anyway so i don't think it could have hurt our image any worse

Changing image isn't that hard... you can't just say its bad and do nothing.. you could easily make it more positive in just few years.

YesJess · 08-04-2003, 04:50 PM

Well you know you can't sit there and say "nothing will happen so who cares they hate us anyway". You need to at least DO something about it. Or At least try.

easier said than done...
