Are we heading to a Big Brother state?
Every day on the news Ive been hearing too many stories about how security surveillance is used against us. Everything i hear off the media makes me pop an Image of George Orwell. Animated X ray at Airports that show the full body in pictures. Little tiny helipads the size of footballs used to surveillance violent areas. Finger printing at home on computers to enter a bank from your computer at home.GPS used in H.S students Dalllas. A medal box in all vehicles to detect where you drive and where you are at at that very moment and will tax those miles you drive that year. Video advertisement with cameras that look at you. Heating scan system in airports to determine whether a person is nervous or calm. We are a society that has become to distracted of the problems that are currently happening. Worried about gas and the money that Governs what you can afford. Healthcare, nuclear arms, war After i watched the 7.2 earthquake hit Indonesia I new commercial popped up for AT&T with that actor showing how much you can save when switching. We are consumed by Television and materials. Phones that can hear are very own conversion when the phone is not even on. This is no fairy tail this is happening before our very own eyes. The hype of H1N1 on mainstream media and every individual ran for vaccination( who knows what they gave you ) when its not even wiping out the population?. i guess no one is surprised on the Government surveillance. Remember as technology advances the more it will be used against us- Karl Marx. Im assuming 90% of you have iphones/phones laptops, cable/ satellite Television.. Dont let them track you now :) TX_Gremlin- Exactly.. here is a formula Create problem add solution. I would understand if there were terrorist attack everyday or bombings ( could be the future. Reference Bombings took place out of no where on the Proles population and Big brother blamed the other nations that they are at war -George Orwell 1984). but no we only had one bombing and that was made by funded terrorist to keep Communist countries off there capital land. So one bombing makes a load of surveillance with GPS microchip humans? just off a flaw of terrorist ( supported by the U.S. 1970s ).

No I think you might be a victim of fear mongering. I think people's fear on their well being is the most dangerous of all. Pretty soon they start blowing up buildings and killing politicians

You can't have absolute privacy/freedom and security. I prefer giving up a little of my privacy if that means I'm safer and why would people who have nothing to hide care about all the surveillance it's not like the public has access to any of the records

Why are people so gullible.....?
Why are people so gullible.....?
Im am always hearing that in Islam women are severely oppressed. Why cant people say in parts of the Middle East some women are severely oppressed? Why do people always have to bring religion into it, as opposed to culture? Do people really think the Quran says women shouldnt drive?Seriously? Also there is nothing in the Quran that says women should cover their faces, because it is cultural. You rarely see women in Burkas in Turkey, Indonesia or in the UAE, Nigeria or any predominately Muslim countries outside of the Middle East, and women are allowed to drive every where else. Why cant people understand that the Middle East is a male dominated society because of their culture instead of Islam?? In a truly Islamic society women have the following rights in Islam: -The right and duty to obtain education. -The right to have their own independent property. -The right to work to earn money if they need it or want it. -Equality of reward for equal deeds. -The right to participate fully in public life and have their voices heard by those in power. -The right to provisions from the husband for all her needs and more. -The right to negotiate marriage terms of her choice. -The right to obtain divorce from her husband, even on the grounds that she simply can't stand him. -The right to keep all her own money (she is not responsible to maintain any relations). - The right to get sexual satisfaction from her husband. and more... Women are equal to men in the sight of God but they have in some respects different roles in life to men because of their different natures. They differ psychologically, physiologically, and biologically from men. This makes them more suitable than men for certain responsibilities and less suitable than men for others. Islam recognizes these differences. Your thoughts? Why blame Islam, instead of blaming culture? Also dont forget in America women were also oppressed up until the war. They werent allowed to drive, work or vote.....but u wouldnt blame Christianity would u? The rights to Muslim women were very progressive for the time, and the same rights were not granted to women till the 1900s! Islam actually elevated the status of women. Google it!!!

You are right of course. I live in Malaysia and the women here are as free (and as lovely) as any. Unfortunately there is a war on several fronts being played out by certain Western Nations against the Islamic Nations at the moment and the media has sought to misinform the populace and vilify Islam to promote hatred. From what I have heard from people back home in the UK and elsewhere in the West, the propoganda machine is working very well. I guess that similar things are happening in Muslim countries too. I am an atheist and I find the way that organised religion works, hand in hand with government and the media at controlling the flock and leading them into war, to be absolutely abhorrent.
3 :
The culture is a product of religious interpretation. There is only one Quran, but there are many interpretations. When fundamentalist interpretations have power the result is an oppressive culture.
4 :
For a million years or so women ruled, but then men discovered how children were created and they forced their rule over women, and except for the Celtic empire women have been culturally and religiously denigrated since then. Islam allows women to divorce but then men can accuse her of adultery and she is immediately stoned to death. Is that culture or religion.
5 :
That is informative and true. People who fear others will attribute many untruths about the people they fear. I imagine it for them excuses their fear and loathing.

You're right. Even so, one thing out of many that I have against Islam is that it teaches women are like domestic animals, women are stupid and if a husband fears his wife will not be faithful he is allowed to beat her. Yeah, culture has perverted Islamic teachings, but that doesn't make true Islam any better. Edit: I was not misinformed, I read it myself.

They also have the right to be beaten by their husbands.

it was the first time 4 me to hear about women R not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia, it is stupid!!! Although Islam came to them first , they don't follow it right , that's strange ! In middle east , I don't like the word , it's better to say some Arabic countries , well in Egypt as ex: women don have to wear even a Hijab Women with Hijab can't be an air hostess or work on Tv at all .That's not fair too ,right?
6 :
well, the quran never said beat them. it was translated in a wrong way. the meaning was literally translated to beat, while in arabic the equivalent word means leave the house "in which the wife lives" to calm down. The word had the same meaning in several other contexts in the quran. beside, prophet mohammed pbuh said do not beat your wives, and when he used to argue with his wives in goodness and when they were wrong he never hit them but he used to go to the mosque to think quitely and calm down.
7 :
The reason Islam has been blamed for the oppression of women is because Muslim men have used the religion of Islam to oppress women. In reality, Islam does not oppress women, muslim men influenced by culture oppress women. Certainly Islam affords a woman many rights, however, those rights are ignored and rarely enforced by the male authorities. And those that do try to enforce their rights often times face extreme consequences. In many parts of the Islamic World, a woman's value is limited. Men do not view her as an equal. And, in a way she is always treated like a second class citizen or like a dumb ass whose needs, feelings & desires are of little importance to men. Nothing supercedes his personal desires for himself. And, this is why it is men, not Islam, who oppress women....denying her many things...in order to maintain control of her. In reality, a woman's rights are "literally" determined by the men in her family...be it her father, brother, or husband...etc. who will ignore Islam if it better suits the man's personal desires. NO Education = a submissive & obediant wife NO Public Life or Voice = only with women who are treated the same by their husbands so that she won't realize she is treated badly or unfairly NO Rights to provisions by her husband = She gets what he wants to give her after he gets what he "wants" first regardless of her "needs." NO right to Negotiate Marriage terms=she will agree to any marriage terms established by her parents out of respect, desperation to simply be married to anyone before losing her youth & beauty or being labeled an old maid, and in some cases fear. NO right to obtain Divorce= For one her family will not agree to this as it would cause them public humiliation and she would revert to being a financial burden on them. In most cases she will be made to stay with her husband regardless of his treatment of her. Her personal happiness is not important.

"Voting Present rather than Yes or No is Common In Illinois" - LIAR, That is common for YOU, but not many others have 130 "Present" votes which means you wouldn't commit yourself because you didn't want the voters to know the real you and where you stod on the issues! 17.)

"My Campaign Never Took Over MySpace" - LIAR, Tom, who started MySpace issued a warning about this advertising to MySpace clients. 43.) "I Inspire People With My Words" - LIAR, you inspire people with other people's words. 44.) "I Have Passed Bills In The U.S. Senate" - LIAR, you have passed A BILL in the U.S. Senate - for Africa, which shows YOUR priorities. 45 .) "I Have Always Been Against Iraq" - LIAR, you weren't in office to vote against it AND you have voted to fund it every single time, unlike Kucinich, who seems to be gutting you, Obama. 46.)

This isn't a question it's a PROPAGANDA MACHINE. Snopes.com has DEBUNKED these LIES about "lies" Barack Obama has told. You can read it all here: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/50lies.asp List of Obama Lies-Truth! Fiction! & Unproven! Summary of the eRumor: A lengthy email represented as lies told by Senator Barack Obama. The Truth: This is a list of alleged "lies" by presidential candidate Barack Obama that circulated during the 2008 presidential primary season. There were several different versions, the first having only about 25 criticisms of Obama and instead of calling him a "liar" it ended each claim with the phrase "Not quite." Then it was 46 questions and a version circulated that added four more to make it 50 lies. It was a very difficult and tedious process to research this. Whoever put it together did not document where Obama made these statements and many of them could not be found. In response to email rumors that have circulated about Obama, his campaign has created a page to respond to the rumors. CLICK HERE for the "Fight the Smears" page. Let's deal with them one at a time. LIE # 1.) Selma Got Me Born - LIAR, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965. (Google 'Obama Selma' for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)-Truth! This refers to a speech Obama gave and when he did get the dates of his birth and the events at Selma backwards. It was in 2007 at a celebration of the famous Selma-to- Montgomery Voting Rights March in Alabama that took place in March, 1965. At one point in the speech, Obama described how that was the environment in which his father came to the United States and met his mother. Then he said, "There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born. So don't tell me I don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama. Don't tell me I'm not coming home to Selma, Alabama." The Selma Voting Rights March was in March, 1965. Barack Obama was born on August 4, 1961 so he was not born in the shadow of what happened in Selma. 2.) Father Was A Goat Herder - LIAR, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government-Truth! & Fiction! It is true that Obama's father became well-educated and had the advantage in his early life of having learned to read and write. It is also true, however, that he herded goats. In his autobiography, Dreams From My Father, Obama describes that his father herded goats for his own father, who was a farmer. As a youth, Obama's father was sent to a missionary school to be educated. When he returned, according to family members, he could find little work except goat herding in his village of Nyangoma Kogela in Western Kenya. 3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - LIAR, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had-Unproven! We could not find this claim that Obama represented his father as a "proud freedom fighter." 4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom - LIAR, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya .. It is the first widespread violence in decades-Unproven! & Truth! Again, we could not find where Obama said that his family has strong ties to African Freedom. Raila Odinga is a well-known politician in Kenya who ran for president in 2007 and challenged the election results when he lost. The resulting violence killed hundreds and left thousands homeless. Odinga has claimed to be Obama's cousin but Obama has never acknowledged that and no proof of the connection has been offered. 5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian - LIAR, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5am according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn't allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man-Fiction! We could not find a time when Obama claimed that his grandmother had always been a Christian. If he did, the writer of this email described a Moslem woman, which would be Obama's grandmother on his father's side. In a speech in 2007, Obama described his maternal grandparents as "nonpracticing Baptists and Methodists." 6.) My Name is African Swahili - LIAR, your name is Arabic and 'Baraka' (from which Barack came) means 'blessed' in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama-Fiction! & Truth! There has been a lot of discussion about this one with some people connecting the name to Arabic words, others to Hebrew, and others to Swahili. Regardless, the name "Barack" or "Barak" is found among Africans and "Barak" is a Swahili word meaning blessing or prosperity. There are also related Arabic words such as "baaraka," which relates to blessing and most agree that the name is derived from Arabic. Obama has cited both origins of the name. In his book Dreams From My Father, Obama describes the name in this way: "“It means ‘Blessed.’ In Arabic. My grandfather was a Muslim.†He has also described his first name as Swahili. Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya , his father's family was mainly Arabs. Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro). From....and for more....go to.....http://www.arcadeathome.com/newsboy.phtml?Barack_Hussein_Obama_-_Arab-American,_only_6.25%25_African-Fiction! There is no evidence that any of this is true. The link provided for documentation is from a user forum on a game site, hardly a reliable source. Obama's father's family is overwhelmingly African. According to an overview of published genealogies of Barack Obama: His father was Barack Obama. His grandfather was Onyango Obama, a Kenyen who converted to Islam. His great grandfather was simply known as Obama of Kendu Bay, Kenya. His second great grandfather was named Obiyo. His third great grandfather was named Okoth. His fourth great grandfather was named Obongo. His fifth great grandfather was named Otondi. His sixth great grandfather was named Ogelo. His seventh great grandfather was named Ogelo. 7.) I Never Practiced Islam - LIAR, you practiced it daily at school, where you were registered as a Muslim and kept that faith for 31 years, until your wife made you change, so you could run for office-Mostly Fiction! As a child, Obama attended both Islamic and Christian schools. In the Islamic school there was education about Islam faith and practice as there was in the Christian school. There is no evidence that as an adult Obama has ever practiced Islam. We have dealt with this in detail in a story about Obama's faith. CLICK HERE for that story. 8.) My School In Indonesia Was Christian - LIAR, you were registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check your own book)-Truth! & Fiction! In his book Dreams From My Father, Obama tells of attending both the Islamic and the Christian schools in Indonesia during his childhood. He does describe that one of the teachers from the Islamic school "wrote to tell my mother that I made faces during Koranic studies." The Associated Press reported on 1/24/08 that when his family moved to Indonesia when he was a child, "At first, Obama attended the Catholic school, Fransiskus Assisis, where documents showed he enrolled as a Muslim, the religion of his stepfather. The document required that each student choose one of five state-sanctioned religions when registering – Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Catholic or Protestant." 9.) I Was Fluent In Indonesian - LIAR, not one teacher says you could speak the language-Fiction! We've not found any record of Obama claiming to be fluent in any Indonesian language. He is said to speak a little Bahasa, the national language of Indonesia. 10.) Because I Lived In Indonesia , I Have More Foreign Experience - LIAR, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn't even speak the language. What did you learn, how to study the Koran and watch cartoons-Fiction! Again, we have not found any occasion when Obama claimed that his childhood in Indonesia qualified him as having "more foreign experience." 11.) I Am Stronger On Foreign Affairs - LIAR, except for Africa (surprise) and the Middle East (bigger surprise), you have never been anywhere else on the planet and thus have NO experience with our closest allies-Opinion! & Fiction! As a presidential candidate, Obama certainly argues that he is qualified to deal with foreign policy, but whether that is true or not depends on the observer and is a matter of opinion. His travels have included more than Africa and the Middle East, however. He was a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and served on several subcommittees. He was described by his critics as the most traveled freshman Senator. His travels have included Russia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan in Asia, Israel, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, the Palestinian Territories, Chad, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, and South Africa. 12.) I Blame My Early Drug Use On Ethnic Confusion - LIAR, you were quite content in high school to be Barry Obama, no mention of Kenya and no mention of struggle to identify - your classmates

"I Have Been A Bold Leader In Illinois" - LIAR, even your own supporters claim to have never seen any BOLD action on your part. 27.)

Pleasee need help with Obama's speech to schoolchildren, basic english.?
Pleasee need help with Obama's speech to schoolchildren, basic english.?
can you please tell me what is 1.the central theme of the speech 2.the tone of the speech 3.what r 5 literary devices that Obama uses to articulate his theme Below are the prepared remarks for President Obama's back to school speech, as released on the White House website. Hello everyone - how's everybody doing today? I'm here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we've got students tuning in from all across America, kindergarten through twelfth grade. I'm glad you all could join us today. I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it's your first day in a new school, so it's understandable if you're a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now, with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you're in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer, and you could've stayed in bed just a little longer this morning. I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived in Indonesia for a few years, and my mother didn't have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday - at 4:30 in the morning. Now I wasn't too happy about getting up that early. A lot of times, I'd fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I'd complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and say, "This is no picnic for me either, buster." So I know some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But I'm here today because I have something important to discuss with you. I'm here because I want to talk with you about your education and what's expected of all of you in this new school year. Now I've given a lot of speeches about education. And I've talked a lot about responsibility. I've talked about your teachers' responsibility for inspiring you, and pushing you to learn. I've talked about your parents' responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and get your homework done, and don't spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with that Xbox. I've talked a lot about your government's responsibility for setting high standards, supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren't working where students aren't getting the opportunities they deserve. But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the world - and none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities. Unless you show up to those schools; pay attention to those teachers; listen to your parents, grandparents and other adults; and put in the hard work it takes to succeed. And that's what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education. I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself. Every single one of you has something you're good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That's the opportunity an education can provide. Maybe you could be a good writer - maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper - but you might not know it until you write a paper for your English class. Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor - maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or a new medicine or vaccine - but you might not know it until you do a project for your science class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a Senator or a Supreme Court Justice, but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team. Story continues below And no matter what you want to do with your life - I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You can't drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You've got to work for it and train for it and learn for it. And this isn't just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future. You'll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. You'll need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free. You'll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new

1) The central theme of the speech was to get students to take responsiblity for our own actions. We are the ones that are going to bring the next generations to their victory... Basically, if we give up on ourselves, we give up on our country. The speech mainly encouraged school children to work on themselves before the government can do anything. 2) His tone was very inspiring, in my honest opinion. I thought he did fairly well at convincing. 3) He used a lot of imagery by giving examples of other kid's goals. =/ I don't know... I just did your homework...lol. I was actually pretty interested in the speech. =]
can you please tell me what is 1.the central theme of the speech 2.the tone of the speech 3.what r 5 literary devices that Obama uses to articulate his theme Below are the prepared remarks for President Obama's back to school speech, as released on the White House website. Hello everyone - how's everybody doing today? I'm here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we've got students tuning in from all across America, kindergarten through twelfth grade. I'm glad you all could join us today. I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it's your first day in a new school, so it's understandable if you're a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now, with just one more year to go.
