I wouldn't belittle a living sentient being as a cat! Felines are incredibly strong, successful, agile and intelligent creatures! But that's all I found on her http://ri.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0LEVjZ0xFNT0RMAjgsXFwx.;_ylu=X3oDMTByZHI5MXByBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDNgRjb2xvA2JmMQR2dGlkAw--/RV=2/RE=1398027509/RO=10/RU=http%3a%2f%2fen.wikipedia.org%2fwiki%2fLaureen_Harper/RK=0/RS=Fe6QRct.6pGYvmvp279XCM0WVWQ- WWWTT

Maybe she rather help cats instead of people from a different heritage? This is probably what she believes, not her husband. WWWTT

Plane has a strong track record and there was nothing to indicate anything otherwise! I have mentioned this before as to possible explanations or the possibility that the plane may have landed somewhere. But that possibility is faced with the conspiracy theory label. The engineers at Boeing may have a different opinion about this! WWWTT

This is a bigger debate than what some here who have not contributed to this thread may think it is. http://ri.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0LEVkAhuVNTBC4AyTEXFwx.;_ylu=X3oDMTByMG04Z2o2BHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA2JmMQR2dGlkAw--/RV=2/RE=1398024610/RO=10/RU=http%3a%2f%2fen.wikipedia.org%2fwiki%2fList_of_countries_by_population/RK=0/RS=rSDYwkyZOOtWhV9Wv1GlWkeSwvE- Now you may be wondering why I posted this link? I have done so to prove a point! Note that there are 243 countries listed here with a ranking in population. Among these 243, there are a whopping 4 Chinese countries!!!! China (1), Taiwan (52), Hong Kong (101) and Macau (168) (special note would be that there are other countries that have smaller administrative regions, examples include France and the USA-Puerto Rico) There does not seem to be an agreeable defined interpretation of what a country is or an complete independent country or how a claim to a country and how the people within the country define themselves as. However, I am still in the belief that I have properly titled this thread! WWWTT

I request that you support your argument here. Furthermore, China's proposal for a one country, two systems approach is absolutely nothing new! Look at Quebec. Very much a different country within Canada! Another good example would be the USA. Laws vary wildly from state to state! Also Russia. Common connecting thread here would be the geographical size of a country. The physically larger and with greater population, the more greater varied and loser interpretation of country. I still stand by thread, Taiwan is part of China! WWWTT

Then ignore it and report my comment.( Charles A. is big on that stuff I hear) You're not the only one here that has an opinion on this protest. If you feel so strongly about it, then start a thread about missing aboriginal women or something like that. WWWTT

He's polling strong! Considering everything that has happened, I suspect it must be some kind of freek show charisma that's kicking in. I find it very hard to believe that this guy can pull in poll numbers around the mid 30%. I saw one poll putting him at 37 freekin %!!! How is that even possible!!! I suspect that this is something distorted and these people are just joking around. After all that all the Ford brothers are now, jokes. I wish the Ford brothers all the best in their fall retirement! Maybe someone in the private sector will take them on, or back to daddy's shop. WWWTT

That's a good point! Maybe Laureen would consider other charities too! But I don't think Justin is going to be doing any charities for money anytime soon. He's probably too busy looking at himself in the mirror practising his poses. WWWTT

No sorry she is using her celebrity to bring awareness to her charity. And the protestor was clever to use this event to raise awareness for her cause! It actually brings attention to both causes! You're getting pissed off at someone who is helping attract media attention to cat abuse. WWWTT

I don't think religion is a topic that you can belittle and categorize with everything else. I'm sure if the moderators all had different religious/faith backgrounds, they could be in a better position to direct, guide and suggest. But something tells me that you guys are looking for me to side with you about an specific issue that happened here? WWWTT

No I disagree! Religion in my opinion would be the most difficult. Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Hindu, Buda and all the different sects of each. And then the atheist approach to all of this and how they may get involved in a religious topic. That is why I write that the moderation is not qualified. The moderators here would have to have some kind of background and knowledge of all these major religions and sect, not to mention those that I have not mentioned! WWWTT

Took a lot of bravery from this woman to pull this off! Protesting is an integral part of our democracy! Just goes to show where on the spectrum you are by how you feel about this protest! Now you may think that this was already a charity for cat awareness and the actions of this woman were not warranted. What I say well that's just too bad isn't it, this is a democracy, deal with it!!! Sometimes democracies can be inconvenient and controversial and it is the responsibility of concerned citizens to act vigorously and aggressively to protest. As far as I'm concerned this woman did a good job in exercising her democratic rights towards what she feels is important to this country and this country needs more people like this. As a side note. I hope that the cat charity as well gets more awareness from this. WWWTT

You got to be freekin joking!!! Wright was in there to see exactly where the big money is going! Making sure his money is properly taken of first hand! WWWTT

Then perhaps a solution for MLW would be to eliminate the topic all together from the list of subjects? It sounds like the moderation here is not qualified to be welcoming this topic into the fold. I understand how some members want to discuss religion, and I personally have only at a little at best added to the topic (if anything). So I'm not qualified either to discuss how to apply this? Like I said before, I don't think there's anything of value I can add. WWWTT

Does independent = autonomous? WWWTT

I'm not denying anything Shady! All I'm saying is that this is happening way to fast and way to easy! The US is helping Russia, it's the only logical reason. I'll admit my position here has bounced around a little, But I don't think that the US government is Crimea(ing) a river over this one WWWTT

Yes and no, no and yes. Ukraine is a vital link in the Eurasian trade routes for obvious geographical regions. China and Russia want the assurance that Ukraine is stable politically to ensure this process is achieved. US sees opportunity to cut corporate puppeteer strings! US can't make any promises, can only suggest that vital parts in Ukraine fall under Russian jurisdiction to insure the process. And helps them out by being the bad guy here. Russia walks in securing the flow. US is happy that the corporate puppet masters back home in the good old US of A have many of their puppet strings permanently cut! USA throws its arms up in the air and says to their corporate puppeteers " hey what do want us to do, go to nuclear war over your stupid freekin petro dollar" The end! WWWTT

Here's more back up links. http://ri.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0LEV75YklJTWVsAa3kXFwx.;_ylu=X3oDMTByODJtaWUzBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMwRjb2xvA2JmMQR2dGlkAw--/RV=2/RE=1397949145/RO=10/RU=http%3a%2f%2fchineseposters.net%2fthemes%2ftaiwan-reunification.php/RK=0/RS=OMItM8hoeyVLHelQLRKXZVa34bw- This link supports the belief that reunification will happen, eventually and peacefully. http://ri.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0LEV75YklJTWVsAaHkXFwx.;_ylu=X3oDMTByMG04Z2o2BHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA2JmMQR2dGlkAw--/RV=2/RE=1397949145/RO=10/RU=http%3a%2f%2fen.wikipedia.org%2fwiki%2fChinese_reunification/RK=0/RS=yMs9baDcsWuwBvtrFdHR4qqBA9M- This quote is taken from the following link I have provided: Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, 157 countries have established diplomatic relations with China. All these countries recognize that there is only one China and that the Government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legal government of China and Taiwan is part of China. http://ri.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0LEV75YklJTWVsAaXkXFwx.;_ylu=X3oDMTBybnV2cXQwBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMgRjb2xvA2JmMQR2dGlkAw--/RV=2/RE=1397949145/RO=10/RU=http%3a%2f%2fwww.china.org.cn%2fenglish%2f7953.htm/RK=0/RS=EpTdcD1iB9hwiuqXtBL3TBmHPMU- I can't see how some posters here think they are right, and that 157 countries are wrong? WWWTT

I have implied that Bryan in the top comment I made. But my implication was that the Chinese in Taiwan would go the invasion of the mainland route. As the RMB economy grows to the soon largest in the world, and as political reform slowly grows in the land of the RMB, the separated part of the family will be welcomed back. WWWTT

Wake up and smell the new Eurasian Altyn currency Shady! That's what this is all about! And the US is actually bowing to them by helping Putin annex Ukraine to lubricate the transition. Don't expect any white knights on silver horses from the GOP to come running in any time soon either! From poll results so far, this is going to be a bad year for the GOP! Oh and by the way, try to stay on topic and don't insult the intelligence of other posters here! WWWTT

I agree with you that you were singled out. But I believe that this site does not appreciate the depth that you bring to your topic and does not have the same qualities equally reflected in the moderators knowledge of the subject to adequately moderate it. Let me put it this way, you're asking a 3rd base baseball empire to referee a soccer game (sorry football as it's known in the rest of the outside world!) Or something along those lines. I understand your position, but what do you want me to do about it? Sorry but that's all I have to add. It sounds like I'm not helping any. WWWTT

That's not the way I see it! I have provided adequate links that more than clearly show that the US's only interest is that the US currency is the only one used in foreign energy transactions. Russia, China and several other players are saying, hey wait, why should we help prop up you guys with our natural resources, we're using our own currency! The US gets all three stooges like pissed off and starts throwing hissy fits by trying to destabilize the country where a big chunk of energy transports route through. Did you really believe the US would be able to use the CIA to out espionage Putin in the Ukraine???? Russia's freekin back yard??? Putin was a member of the KGB for crying out load! And if you think Romney would have done a better job, you got to be freekin joking! The only thing Romney may have done better, was realize from the word go that the US had no bloody freekin chance from the word go! And just left it at that and walked, just calling the Russian's the bad guys without the embarrassing loss. WWWTT

Hi Betsy. What I'm saying is that this is not a big religion forum. This is a political forum. I do not believe it is possible to completely eliminate religion from politics, so then it would be a appropriate to have at least one subject heading to better direct some threads. And I don't think there is proper moderation on this site for an all out religious debates. Or the posters. I understand religion is very involved, has great variation, lots of passion and would require people who belong to more than one religion to fully appreciate the different perspectives. That's asking a lot from the moderators here! My best suggestion would be to separate the two (politics vs. religion), and accept this site for what it is. That's all I have Betsy. Good luck WWWTT

Well you seem to have a different opinion than that of the US government. You're going to have to back up your opinion, and just some advise, read the info you use carefully because I'll probably use it against your argument! WWWTT

Ok I think it's time I contribute to this thread with some heavy material!!! *****WARNING****** Some of the images are graphic! http://scgnews.com/videos-from-ukraine-that-the-us-media-will-never-show-you Looks like the US is losing the "Media" war on this one so I expect them to start backing down real fast! Don't expect NATO to come running to hold the US's hand and coddle them, well maybe Steve "W.P." Harper? WWWTT
