    Should other countries speak against Bush?

    The UN and other countries should definitely speak out and act. Bush, Major and Howard should all be charged with war crimes and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

    Child welfare vs. religion

    I believe that the state did the right thing in this instance, but it opens up a whole can of worms. How much harm must be done (and who determines the level of harm) in the name of religion before the state can take away a child? For example, say some kook said his religion dictated that he...

    The answer to how Gay Marriage will ruin society.

    The difference is that the gay lobby is not trying to harm others or restrict their activities. The Christian lobby is.

    Teaching the controversy?

    Another point is that in the US at least, this would never fly. As soon as you start falsifying creationism in science classes, the creationists are going to complain that you are bashing their religious beliefs.

    Teaching the controversy?

    Teaching the controversy?

    I very much disagree here. By the same logic, we should spend time in history class studying Holocause denial, and in geogrophy studying the flat earth, and so on. There are ideas that are not supported by the consensus in their fields. Those ideas should not be taught as part of the study of...

    Then you suppose wrong. And what would happen in 'different times' is completely irrelevant.

    Hannity's Enemy of the Week

    Good job. You keep working on hating Jane Fonda and all those other filthy liberals. Why bother being against the US' real enemies when you can hate liberals?

    Hannity's Enemy of the Week

    No, it's not 'quite clear', as even the article you cited states.

    Hannity's Enemy of the Week

    In case you missed it, you didn't provide anything to show that she is a traitor. Unwise? Certainly. A traitor? Not demonstrated.
