Explosion in Boston?

Apparently his wife doesn't want the body. Nether do his parents and no cemetery will take it either....I say cremate him and flush his ashes down the toilet.

Yupp, ban foreign students from studying in the US

Watch the fall from #1 superpower to just another western economy accelerate 100 fold. .

Isolationism doesn't work....we proved that before. Yet some folks feel the need to go down a pothole filled road yet again.

The thing is a student visa doesn't = that person coming to work for America.

A student visa means they come here to learn and than they go back home to their own country after school so really their intelect in no way benefits the U.S. unless they decide to apply for citizenship and are accepted.

Or maybe all the top minds in are China actually U.S. kids going to school over there and then staying to help them make money?

Bin Laden also enjoyed much schooling here.

I'm not anti Student visa just pointing all that out.

Can't you just let me be ornery in peace?

...but only because I had to look that word up

In no way benefits the US? The economy is global... research is global... the environment is global... diplomacy is of course global... don't underestimate the soft power of education, training and cultural inculcation on students who study in the US and return to their home countries.

^ precisely.

Yea and I appreciate and understand all of that which is why I'm not against it but how is another country going to fix our trillions in debt?

We should focus a bit harder on getting our own citizens to graduate High School, because more than ever aren't.

Thats has nothing to do with the Student Visa program, that's due to lazy *** and dumb *** kids today. Oh wait crappy parents too. Kids that care do fine, ones that think they can become some realty star with no education or just live on welfare could care less about school.

If you really wanted to make a difference, make finance and real economic history major subjects in high school. Of course then we'd be too smart to allow ourselves to be fooled by the saturday morning cartoon coverage that is our current corporate news media.

The fact that we actively need rogue states like China (still communist) to throw their money behind the dollar to keep the shell game going ought to be alarming enough. Sooner or later, a crisis will transpire when we no longer are given world reserve currency status. At that point we'll be so hard up we'll accept just about any kind of magical elixir the powers that be come up with. This debt is not meant to be paid back.

Follow the money.

Not all of them. Just the ones who hate us (whether they're prone to violence, or not).

There are still thousands of hits on this subject in every forum imaginable and when something like the new internet tax that's about to be passed doesn't have a got damn chance of conversation anywhere.

You people are retarded. You should just go jump off the bridge and get the hell out of the way. Have some damn ***** and stop letting them brainwash you with this garbage.

There is no Osama Bin Laden. There is no Al Queada. There's nothing to be ****ing afraid of. Its all being put inside your little heads. Smoke a joint and wake the **** up.

You right there is no Al Queada, now Al-Qaeda they exist, unless you belive they made it up 30+ years ago?

Maybe you should stop smoking it clearly affecting your brain, and people say weed had no long term effects, thanks for disproving that.

And how exactly does one separate students from those that hate the US from those that don't?

Hey, you're from Pakistan, right?

Let me ask YOU something. What is the consensus over there and the surrounding areas as to Osama, the war on terror and what they think of us over here in the states? As well as the CAPTURE of Bin Laden?

There is no consensus as such, opinions vary here as much as they do in the US or more.

My view, which is shared by many, is that yes, Osama and Al Qaeda were very much real threats, but they are the product of US foreign policy. They don't exist in isolation. In fact Osama himself was a CIA creation to begin with.

The war on terror is mostly a scam. Saudi hijackers responsible for 9/11 yet Afghanistan takes the hit, some targeted strikes against training camps there would have sufficed. Not a full blown invasion which has worsened the security and economic situation of the entire region.

Iraq was a full blown oil grab. Plain and simple.

Admire ordinary Americans and their spirit of liberty and free thinking. Hate the hypocrisy of the US government. Drone program = state sponsored terrorism. Hate our government for secretly supporting the drone program in exchange for aid and other favours.

So yeah, those are my views but you'll find they are replicated in a significant proportion of the educated population in Pakistan.

In the uneducated tribal population (much of which is not even aware that something called 9/11 once happened) - the only way the current generation knows Americans is through the drone program. That makes for a lot of hate in that section of the populace.

there is always a boogeyman to take the blame while the players hide behind the curtain

No kidding. Satan is a popular one, I've heard.

How exactly, indeed.

blah, blah, oil grab

Notice our hands not so full of Iraqi oil.

Just what I thought you were going to say. And this is what I hear across the board from the people in that area and other countries.

I do think that Osama existed/exists but not as the media and US government portrayed him. He is now a product of their manipulation.

What did you think of the capture?
