I think that texting while driving should be illegal. People should be more careful and watch the road. I think that the punishment should not be as harsh, but people should be given a warning or ticket.  View

John Stewart and the writers at The Daily Show are the smartest guys on TV news. They make fun of everybody simply because the "News Makers" are such fools. John Stewart provides the answers to what they are really saying and catches them with videos of their own lies and other fuck ups. They make it look easy the way they pick apart what is being said through the "respectable" news outlets. If what John Stewart says proves to be true, then, what's the problem? Someone has to tell the truth, because, we are not getting the truth from the White House, Congress, the CIA, Pentagon, and all the rest of government and the other news outlets in this country. Johnie; You da man!  View

This will be my last comment because obviously there is NO USE talking to a bunch of IGNORANT RACISTS. I understand what the word "illegal" means and I understand the gravity of it. I agree that when something is illegal, it is wrong and OBVIOUSLY against the law. But when poor, mistreated, unfortunate, hungry people have no other choice of survival but to migrate illegally somewhere else, then by all means, do it. You who disagree with me obviously don't have family members or acquaintances that are suffering these dire conditions. America is selfish and so its citizens only think about themselves. I wouldn't be surprised if all you guys cared about was yourself. I understand that ANYBODY who crosses the border illegally is an alien but answer me this, how many times have you heard the US refer to Europeans as "illegal aliens"? How many times have you heard Canadians be "aliens"? Not that many, if any, times because the US is not racist against those countries. It truly, truly saddens me that the US is going backwards and not forwards and that you all are the "future" of this country. Good thing my parents migrated here and that I was able to be born here so that I can rescue this country from going into a racist future. Don't worry everybody, a proud Hispanic "alien" will get this country out of its racist nature. You're welcome :)  View

This adds to the public's basis for distrust/lack of confidence in scientists and their research. In the courtroom we see scientists as expert witnesses hired to support both sides of each argument. Nutritional guidance is under constant revision and at times reversal. Scientists gave us the atom bomb, DDT, agent orange and more. Scientists speak for and against global warming and evolution. Perhaps it is healthy that credibility has to be earned and judgment has to be exercised and gone are the days of just trusting the word of "experts".  View

hand-holding is still more awkward, but obama is too tall to be bowing under the head of the japanese emperor.  View

An Outline Whereby ICTY Judges Should Judge Radovan Karadzic By Jill Starr At the end of the day, some three years from now in the final judgment of Radovan Karadzic%u2019s case being tried at the ICTY, and, in morally judging his guilt or innocence insofar as whether he is directly responsible for war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity and isolated incidents of rape and summary executions during Srebrenica, first and foremost, the ICTY judges have a duty, a %u201DNoblesse oblige%u201D if you will (used to imply that with wealth, power and prestige come responsibilities of morality-even in judging Radovan Karadzic and the other Bosnian Serbs awaiting trials/appeals at the Hague%u2019s highest court), The ICTY judges have an international duty to compare, contrast and analyze the annals of human history of war, torture and war crimes before rendering their judgement in the case. Why? When analyzing rapes, executions, pilgrimages and torture of former wars,even dating back as far as Medieval Times, cases in point: American soldiers in Vietnam, the Roman Catholic Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition in which women were sexually tortured and burnt alive at the stake, as well as the Abu Ghraib torture scandal recently in Iraq, we discover that the soldiers guilty of these monstrous acts, are themselves guilty and should be tried and sentenced, HOWEVER, one can not rationally say that for instance President Bush was directly responsible for the Abu Ghraib torture scandal in Iraq merely owing to the matter of fact he was the United States President at that time. By the same token we can not reasonably conclude Radovan Karadzic is directly responsible and guilty for the crimes against humanity lower level Serb soldiers committed against Muslims in Srebrenica. For the American and international news media to at this premature point in time to try swaying everyone watching it daily insofar as the Karadzic case, and for this media to daily pronounce Karadzic%u2019s so-called %u201Dguilt%u201D saying %u201Dhe is responsible for the crimes that in actuality, may or may have not occurred at Srebrenica,%u201D even before the evidence and trial has even taken place and been presented; is morally wrong and illegal in and of itself. This entire judgement remains murky and leaves a tremendous %u201Dreasonable doubt%u201D hanging over whether Radovan Karadzic is directly responsible for ordering executions in Srebrenica.  View

WOW, this hasn't made the "news" in the USA. We've been told Venezuela is blackmailing us to get higher oil prices, but not much else. Two questions. Is HALABURTON in the area? You know, Dick Cheney's war company. Has Oliver North been hanging around? If either is true, you better watch out for Sarah Palin to make an appearance.  View

Sarah, Sarah, Sarah... Hmmm, where have I heard that name before...... Wasn't she Abraham's wife? The woman that forced her man to have sex with her servant, then adopted that son. When she finally got pregnant by her husband, she wanted her natural born son to have all the goodies (fearing that she would be left out in the cold). This spawned the longest running war in the history of the world. YEAH, all we need is another Sarah. NOT  View

The war in Afghanistan is not against mythical Al-Qada, it is against millions of dissidents that refuse to respect the Karzai government. Thousands of disconnected groups led by fierce tribal chieftains demand autonomy. Each group has to be weeded out. It is a delicate process that might take decades. Karzai as commander in chief must lead the charge. A quieter and friendlier Afghanistan and the withdrawal of most American troops will come after the final battle is won.  View
