They are not paid less and most contractors do not pay cash. They are paying taxes and SS that they will never recieve the benefits from..

I worked a development jobsite this summer and came home with a new respect for immigrant workers. They were there everyday and stayed late. The American contractors were running around and trying to look busy. I was embarressed for my fellow tradesmen. .

That may very well be true in your area/situation. However, larger labor-pool generally = reduced wages.

Excuse me? He was reading "My Pet Goat" to a room of elementary school kids when America came under attack. He continued to do so for what, 10 minutes, while the attacks went on.

Because he knew he wasn't going to be attacked. The Secret Service also apparently knew it, which is why they did not immediately rush him out of the school to safety for quite awhile, all contrary to their duty to any president when there is a possibility of harm coming to him.

Please, don't try to pretend that you haven't known these facts.

Hold your horses. Let's look at this scientifically and do away with the hype for once.
For a start, even as far back as ancient Greece, it was recognised there are differences between races and the same holds true for intelligence. However, before you collapse with shock and cry "racism" that doesn't mean to say I endorse the idea white people are more intelligent than black people.
In actual fact, we know the ancient Egyptians were black and we know ancient Egypt was a highly advanced society so when I state that intelligence can be determined by race, please don't quote me as saying whites are smarter than blacks.
At any rate, this does seem to me a classic case of State brainwashing where people have been misled by quackery the same way as people were told the earth was flat in the Middle Ages.
Just to simplify this matter, my dog is a border collie which makes it more intelligent than many other canines - it's common knowledge. By the same token, when I kept aquatic fish, I knew fishes such as Oscars were more intelligent than many other types of fish.
The same is true with respect to human beings whether the politicians like it or not. The fact is the politicians are not scientists and the self-professed scientists who have been promoting the idea there is no such thing as race or racial differences in humans and animals are literally taking us back to the Dark Ages at the expense of science.

Nationalism isn't racism. As I said before, the ancient Greeks were highly nationalistic and nationalism was actively promoted.
What amazed me was how Ken Livingstone was boasting not so long ago about the Olympic Games in London representing multiculturalism as a legacy of the Greeks when, in actual fact, the Greeks only allowed other Greeks to attend the Games.
Despite that, the Greeks invented democracy and were a far more democratic society than any modern democracy we have today.
Sparta was the most nationalistic but never invaded other countries (apart from Messenia).

"1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race."

So, do black runners run faster than white runners or not? Are Russians and Slavic peoples inherently stronger than Japanese?
Or are you saying the fact Ethiopian runners win so many medals just a stroke of luck?
As for Russia, when I lived there, I noticed the indigenous people were just naturally strong.

Ha! Seems like you don't have an answer to that question.
Other species of animals clearly differentiate in intelligence, according to racial characteristics. Some canines are more intelligent than other canines, for example.
With regard to people, some races or nations produce faster runners as a result of genetics.
When politicians tell us there is no such thing as race, they're making statements they're not qualified to make.

Yes, millions - proving once again that fellow travellers BillM & wolfux are quite delusional.

Quote:
- Many adults in the United States believe the current federal government has not been completely forthcoming on the issue of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, according to a poll by the New York Times and CBS News. 53 per cent of respondents think the Bush administration is hiding something, and 28 per cent believe it is lying.

Only 16 per cent of respondents say the government headed by U.S. president George W. Bush is telling the truth on what it knew prior to the terrorist attacks, down five points since May 2002.

...

Polling Data

When it comes to what they knew prior to September 11th, 2001, about possible terrorist attacks against the United States, do you think members of the Bush Administration are telling the truth, are mostly telling the truth but hiding something, or are they mostly lying?

Oct. 2006
May 2002

Telling the truth
16%
21%

Hiding something
53%
65%

Mostly lying
28%
8%

Not sure
3%
6%

Methodology: Telephone interviews with 983 American adults, conducted from Oct. 5 to Oct. 8, 2006. Margin of error is 4 per cent.

There is a difference between thinking the government is lying and the government being behind the attacks. A good question would be what percentage of the population thinks the government could have prevented the attacks and did not?

And the studies that get the percentages..... Where are the studies[polls] done? San Fran? Do they get a complete population average? And considering that it was the NY Times who released this poll does not give it any more validity then if Fox news released it.

I believe also the government did not release all the info they have on the attacks. I imagine there is info on the attacks that is classified. But to suggest that Bush knew that attacks were coming is insane.

Liberals make no sense. They do not want the government doing all they can to protect citizens, but they scream it is the administrations fault when attacks occur. They believe we can sit down and have a latte with anti-western culture terrorists and discuss our differences. They believe America is at the root of the world's problems and they hate the American way of life. In the meantime they are enjoying the fruits of American way of life...... Free speech and good incomes. They want America to be what they want it to be... However, the American process is that America chose Bush. And with the recent Democratic backlash at Kerry within his own party, America is speaking again.
Liberals assume that Americans are stupid. That we need them to show us the way.

They believe it is wrong that suspected terrorists are imprisoned, but they want anti-abortion protestors jailed.

But......dealing with this thread...here in the midwest, I have not heard one individual make the statement that Bush knew of, was behind, or could have prevented 9-11.

Let me guess: wolfux' latest post is:

1. some lame attempt to blame the polling methodology, or

2. another name-calling session, based on his incisive and way intelligent "psychoanalysis" that he learned from taking a Psych 101 class from Phoenix U's mail-order program, or

3. maybe just an outright: "it ain't true and you can't make me say it is! Nyeh Nyeh!"?

to respond,,,, I have not blamed the polling methodology.. I am pointing out that this poll does not say that millions of Americans think Bush was behind the 9-11 attacks. You have suggested this in the past. The poll does not even deal with "who was behind the attacks" but was dealing with the information the government has about the attacks. Big difference.

Interesting that you should bring up the university of Phoenix. Just last night we were discussing all the spam we get from this university. No, I have not taken the Psych 101 course there. I have taken the Pysch 101 course at Cornell in upstate NY. It was actually the first college credit I have. Those were good days.....

I believe the poll. At least in the format the pollsters used. But the poll does not make the statement you want t make concerning Bush. You need to be able to connect the dots and not make irrational statements with data t that does not make the statements you claim.
