Never ask someone to do something that you would not be prepared to do yourself.

... except in American business and politics and religion. Sadly globalization has spread this cancer throughout the western world.

Well naturally Obama was glad to meet the Indian Communists because Obama is a Communist as well as being posessed by Satan. That man in the White House is totally and without a doubt sick and demented.

Mr Mcalpine is currently suing both the arresting officer and the Chief Constable of Cumbria Police for unlawful arrest, false imprisonment and unlawful interference with his right to freedom of expression and freedom of religion."

In England there is a difference between charged and convicted.

If he wins his lawsuit it will also confirm that there was never any ground under English law to charge him.

Back to the topic, it is fitting that US elections are always held on the closest Tuesday to the attempt to blow up parliament.

"The two countries will work on nuclear reactors, fuel recycling and uranium extraction and will consider selling the products of their collaboration to third parties, he added."

This implies to me that there is no interconnector for the direct export of electricity from France to China.

Perhaps California can import green hydro energy from BC, install an interconnector under the Pacific Ocean and then sell it the Chinese at a profit?

Then the Chinese could build an interconnector and sell it on to the French, and the French could sell it to the UK, who could borrow money from US banks to pay for it all.

Happy Bonfire Night to one and all.

I am deeply disappointed that our Prime Minister Stephen Harper, does not plan to stand behind this bill.

One quibble if I may, I would suggest that the original complaint about Iowa allowing same-sex couples to wed is NOT a "gender issue" and would submit that we as believers should not adopt the new terminology of the world around us in this matter.

Biblically, there are two genders, male and female.

Besides Obama, has there ever been another case where the Nobel Prize was awarded PROACTIVELY--in anticipation of what the recipient was (supposedly) going to accomplish in the future in order to merit such an award?
I hate to think that they (Nobel committee) were just patronizing the first
black/African-American president.
