The United States also has a very high crime rate compared to most countries in the world. Our murder rate is the highest of all the industrialized countries in the world, and we have the highest percentage of our population behind bars of any country in the world. A "peace-loving" country would be one like Sweden or New Zealand -- one who had kept to themselves, not invaded other countries, not started wars, and does not have a high rate of violent crime. It's laughable to say we are "peace-loving". We are perhaps the least peace-loving of any country in the world, perhaps with the exception of a few third world countries. Also, having police on every corner is certainly not a sign of "peace-loving". That is a sign of a violent society that needs high security to maintain order. Nazi Germany had police on every corner. Iraq currently has police checkpoints all over the place -- would you say they are "peace-loving"?? If you go to a country like Sweden, that has an extremely low crime rate, you probably will barely see any police at all, as they do not need them. |
i have a thing or 2 to say about that, the US is a melting pot which is what spurs half if not more of the issues. New Zealand or Sweden or Switzerland if you want to go neutral are plain they dont accept anyone who isnt one of them to be their own. Yet the US takes anyone and everyone and then goes and gives them rights as in the case with the Mexican issue. so we brought that upon our selves. and to top it off we take these people under our wing and what do we get back in return? Hatred thats what. dont say we arent peace loving because those who come here and respect what this country did for them return that favor. the ones who come here and take advantage are the ones to blame. who makes up the majority of gangs in the states? look at who has the highest crime rate? look at the percentage of one nationality vs another in prisons and then tell me what the problem is. if you notice the majority of issues are with people who come from poor countries and they bring their malignant way with them.

Iranian censors clamp down on bloggers.
Article Highlights. Iranian authorities are stepping up arrests and pressure on popular bloggers as part of a wider Internet clampdown launched after hard-liner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad became president last year, ending years of freewheeling Web access that once made Iran among the most vibrant online locales in the Middle East. The Internet censors are busy. Their targets include sexual content, international politics, local grumbling, chat rooms and anything else that makes the Islamic leadership uneasy. Mohammad Ali Dadkhah, a prominent human rights lawyer, estimates at least 50 bloggers have been detained since last year. The cyber-squeeze, however, is seen as more than a broad slap at dissent. It shows vividly what authorities can and can't control. The Islamic establishment is able to filter the Web through its oversight of all Iran's Internet service providers, as well as media, cinema, literature and other arts. The government also uses the Internet to promote is own messages. State-run television on Sunday announced the launch of Ahmadinejad's own blog — http://www.ahmadinejad.ir — where he writes about his childhood, the Islamic revolution and the Iran- Iraq war. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060814/...log_backlash_3 |
Well if you're a leader with major citizen opinions in conflict with your direct actions, you may not want that getting out. AKA, a 60%+ disapproval of the Iraq war in the USA. Other countries froth at the mouth when they find out a leaders own people aren't for 'their plan'.

Disrespect? Would you say it's ok to disrespect Jesus or the Torah? Just trying to figure out where you're coming from on this... |
seems to me like its ok to disrespect every other religion but the muslims g-d no not the muslims cant touch them they are the people of g-d they are the all holy no one is better. they bitch about people going against them yet they dont have swasticas drawn on their lawn and cars and garage doors and they dont have their churches burned and virgin marys broken or stolen. but everyone is just so out to get them.
