		<description>leon dixon, yes the torture was mentioned.  Not prominently, but I heard it.  One time.  There was evidently no video, otherwise they&#039;d have had it on non-stop.  That&#039;s the way TV news works.</description>

		<description>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/india/3539171/Mumbai-attacks-Jews-tortured-before-executed-during-hostage-crisis.html Are Muslims proud of this?  It finally showed up on Drudge yesterday but not a word in MSM that I have seen.  Muslims have killed over 4,000 in India.  Are Muslims proud of this accomplishment?  I&#039;m assuming that not all are but I think those who are proud of torture and murder for religious reasons are a problem. Any ideas about how to solve that problem of proud Americans who are Muslim?</description>

		<description>Many of the people who shop on Black Friday do it for sport.  These otherwise socially invisible individuals are like people who practice road rage relying on the anonimity of their car.  I know a group of women who go every year.  Normally, you don&#039;t get to actually see their greed, mean-spiritedness or aggressive natures.  They can&#039;t physically act up without revealing themselves during the course of the year (just gossip, backstab, spread rumors, etc., you know the type).

On Black Friday, however, all of those pent-up emotions are unleashed in a socially acceptable, even celebrated, manner.  These women can afford to pay top dollar for anything.  They like the hunt, the fight and acting out.  They brag about what they scored and the manner in which they did it.  They talk about it all year long.  They live for this annual event where shoving, punching, grabbing, running over people, name calling, etc. is all expected and part of the fun.  The same behavior their kids would get suspended/expelled from school for if they did it there.  It&#039;s my dream that these babes won&#039;t realize until it&#039;s too late that they have become too old and frail for the annual melee.  They all deserve to have their clocks cleaned by a bigger, meaner brute.

A friend went out Friday morning.  After being side-swiped twice on the way to the mall, she decided the &quot;savings&quot; weren&#039;t worth it and went home.  Maybe after enough people are killed/injured and enough restitution is made, merchants will stop this crap because it&#039;s no longer profitable.  It&#039;s definately forseeable that people are going to get hurt.  It&#039;s only going to get worse, too.  Let the lawsuits begin.  Maybe sanity will yet prevail.</description>

		<description>As a Muslim do you believe that violence is justified on the grounds of religious purpose? How about the violence I sent you via email which is showing up all over the internet and media elsewhere?  I suspect you don&#039;t, along with the 75% or 85% of Muslims in the world. What should be done to or with that 15 to 25% that not only so believe but act upon them? Is it time for loyalty oaths from American Muslims on this specific point-trials in American courts are showing many Muslim traitors.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s called marketing, Steward.  &#039;Selling&#039; our city to both local and foreign business interests should be a goal of our mayor. For far too long, the public relations role of our local leadersship has been ignored.</description>

		<description>Mauri--I believe nicotine is added to cigarettes, not naturally found in hard-wrapped cigars.  But I could be wrong.

Oh yeah--Cracker Barrel has the best smokehouse bacon I&#039;ve seen outside my grandparents&#039; farm.  Thick-sliced, too.
A cardiologist&#039;s dream.</description>

		<description>&gt;I don’t think the Son of Man would appreciate people acting like this as they get ready to celebrate his birthday

Huh?
.
I think the Son of God wouldn&#039;t appreciate this sort of behavior any time of year, not just this time of year.

		<description>There are many holidays that coincide this time of year including the commercialization of christmas.  The rampant gift giving while going into hock holiday called christmas must not be confused with the celebration of the birth Christmas.  It is not politically correct to distiguish between the two but there is a difference.  The commercialization of christmas is considered to patriotic.  So many people believe going into hock is helping the ecomony.  Some of our elected officials have even said go shopping, help the economy, go use the plastic and be patriotic. Hopefully there are still plenty of people out there who understand Christmas is not about the gifts we give but the gift of renewel we can choose to accept, no charge of course.</description>
