I hate to break it to you, but, legally, an SUV is classified as a truck. Sadly, this subject doesn't lend itself too well to simile

Not true. It wasn't so long ago that many states had 'anti-miscegenation' laws on their books, yet these laws were struck down as contrary to the 14th amendment. Somehow society in the sixties managed to change marriage from the way it was, without opening it "to anyone and everyone in...

Isn't that what the US and Europe already have? For all the political bluster, they are nearly identical.

damn thats good news - I really thought that the show'd had it. Now we've just got to wait till 2006 to see it:(

So people should be barred from adopting if they have aspects of their person that may lead to the child being teased? So people with big noses should be right out. Also big ears. Anyone with ginger hair = no chance of adoption. People with hard to spell and /or 'foreign' surnames...

What do you wan't - every Muslim in the world to personally write a letter condemning terrorism to you every day? Why don't you try to meet some Muslim's and see what they say rather than blaming the many for the crimes of a few? A few months ago, an American man living here in Britain...
