Although Cook was the first European to explore Australia, I don't think he is credited with discovering it. Abel Tasman was the first to map it, the northern coast anyway. Cook just completed the mapping.
I wouldn't change the Constitution, just the interpretations of it. As Phid said, there is no wall of separation and there is no right to murder unborn human beings in it either.
If it can proven they were directly involved with abuses, then I would have no problem. But this guy didn't seem to be, he was just living his life. As long as they are not habitual criminals or neo-nazi gangleaders, then they should just leave them be.
The left will take over in the open where we can all see what is coming
Yeah, like public schools, Ivy league universities, and the private schools that prepare Ivy League university wanabees. You have to be blind to not see this.
Reading about terrorist #1 burial controversy. Apparently no cemetary in Mass will bury him. Not sure what I think, but part of me thinks bury him anywhere and just get it over with.
I don't think it should be left buried. This is very plausible and interesting. Jamestown is a good study on how a particular colony failed and why another one at the same time (Plymouth) survived and prospered. The British learned a lot from their mistakes in Jamestown. For one thing, and IMO the major reason it failed, was because the Jamestown colonists focused on immediate wealth rather than long-term sustainability.
I would like to submit for consideration Saudi Arabia as well. If not, then let's go imperial on them and take the oil. Problem solved. (Man, I should be Secretary of State)
This isn't a problem with immigration, this is a problem with Islamic terrorism, IMO. If ANY are on a watch list, or if we have been warned by other nations, then they immediately get deported or jailed. Since you can't jail anyone who hasn't committed a crime, then deportation is the best solution. That would include immediate family as well. Consequences must be severe in order to disuade them.
As long as they can't investigate mosques, probably a lot.Here's an article about Nidal Hassan.linkWhat I find most striking (shocking really) is this:
Second, Hasan, grieving from his mother’s death, gravitated to the conservative brand of Islam preached at the Dar al-Hijrah in Falls Church, Virginia; a mosque known for its attendance by two of the 9/11 hijackers. During 2001-2002, Anwar al-Awlaki also preached at Dar al-Hijrah issuing a now infamous sermon in November, 2001 equating the U.S. Global War on Terrorism with a larger global war by the U.S. against all Muslims. Hasan’s ideological following of Awlaki later manifested itself in repeated emails to the cleric requesting attack guidance and religious rulings on what would become his 2009 Ft. Hood shooting.
So in other words, this mosque is/was still open after 9-11?!?!
“What we thought we saw was a very militaristic landscape, very sparsely populated and all we saw was what survived at the surface,” said Dr David Woolliscroft from Liverpool University."Then suddenly, when we started to fly, a whole new world emerged. Huge numbers - tens of thousands - of isolated farms, completely undefended.
Interesting.I never went for that miltaristic theme of marauding and pillaging. Sure there were fights and all that, but a society cannot grow if there wasn't cooperation.
