[quote=FRPLG;231226]Some would argue that a parliamentary system likes the Brits have is more representitive than our presidential system. Even with the foresight of our forefathers the presidential system is often devolved into a psedo-monarch.

In addition our dogged refusal(probably just an inability) as a nation to move beyond a 2 party system really leaves us with no where to go. It is always us versus them in the political world which I believe prevents reasoned and most likely successful solutions to our problems from having a real chance.

I'm not socialist or anything I just think the mechanics of our government aren't very good. It is a daunting task to fix though. The US could do it though. Probably the only country who could.

Maybe it just needs tweaks but who can look at our government and says it is totally working for us? We have problems every where we turn. Real problems. And Washington has no solutions really. I guess I am a pessimist with our government right now.[/quote]
No, I totally agree we can't settle for what we've got. Any government plagued by corruption and greed will not work.

In essence, our problem isn't in design, it's in the components of the design. We need to eliminate the corruption that is taking place. We're based on cash money... and that's a problem. Scandals involving refrigerators of money is more commonplace than ever, and someone has to institute legislation to put it to an end. Who you think that will be is up to you, but look at Mr. McCains record on eliminating such cases before you vote.

it's probably a hoax... if they REALLY wanted to pull something off, why would they leak it beforehand and explain the method of attack? (radiation)

that's just stupidity. and if you know it's radiological, getting detection set up for radiation is cheap and readily available.

I thought Al Qaeda was in the business of destroying recognizable national symbols? There are a ridiculous number of stadiums in the USA and I doubt a stadium is in their top 10 priorities.

The FUD is really ramping up. Wear your tinfoil hat folks.

Here's an update on the story:

The FBI was interviewing a Milwaukee resident Thursday believed to be responsible for posting what officials think are phony threats on a Web site about radiological dirty bomb attacks on NFL football stadiums this weekend.

I can't believe the ignorance I hear about Islam and Muslims ... it makes me sick. Go take a class, or read a book first before you start judging hundreds of millions of people based on the actions of a few.

The arabic world is full of bright, intellectual, caring, considerate people. And, there are MANY great mathematical and scientific contributions which originated in arabic countries.

BTW, Islam is NOT the only evangelical religion. Grow a brain, you people ... :banghead:

Nice post. Unfortunately, I've learned that most religious/political posts fall on many deaf ears. Which is why we prefer these discussions aren't part of this board because it usually ends up being unneccesarily combative. If we're going to fight, we might as well fight about why Duckett isn't playing more

Please feel free to list some mathematical and scientific contributions that originated in Arabic countries from [B][U]muslims[/U][/B]. Just to clarify, not people visiting or discoveries 'rediscovered' by islam. Actual scientific advances made by islamic minds.

What a remarkably ignorant post. And on that note, this increasingly worthless thread is being locked
