1. So that is where our tax dollars are going via the banks.
Remember they can't tell us where all that money is going.

3. Very Disneyesque
But it kind of turns my stomach to think how much money that shin-dig cost and how much money people will pay to vacation there while so many are having a hard time putting food in their stomachs.

5. All while the Palestinians suffer horrible and degrading poverty ....
This is reminiscent of how the poor in the Americas dawdle in endless poverty while the very rich trumpet praise upon praise of the benefit of raw capitalism for the masses ....

I have to ask: Why does Haiti and the Dominican Republic suffer such grinding poverty on the doorstep of capitalism ?

This AND That are travesties upon the world ....

7. Short-sighted fools
In less than fifty years that place will be a ghost town.

9. Big Surprise...
Edited on Sat Nov-22-08 12:38 AM by Libertas1776
Those freaking terrorists kill regular people, New Yorkers trying to make a living, Londoners riding the bus home, and Madrid commuters on a train, just to name a few. Yep, they go and kill those "decadent" citizens of the great satan, those "wicked" men, women, and children of the west.

But wait, what is this I see; decadence, greed, lavish lifestyles beyond the point of ridiculousness right in the heart of Arabia. Well, its no wonder they've had all those terrorist attacks...oh wait they haven't!

It makes perfect sense for you wouldn't want to harm your benefactor.

:nuke: :grr: :nuke:
