Is Owner of "President or Jihad" Billboard RACIST?

anniepa @anniepa (27956) • United States 8 Dec 09

Phil Wolf, the owner of an auto dealership in Wheat Ridge, Colo., has posted a billboard, which you can see by clicking on the link that follows, that reads "President or Jihad?" and pictures President Obama wearing a turban....

wlee9696 I saw the turban - Obama has been seen wearing turbans before when he went to Africa. Seeing the turban didn't make me make the jump to racism. A turban to me is not a symbol of racism. In the picture I also noted Obama was black - still didn't make that leap...

Death Penalty,Punishment or deterrent?

IamSamm @IamSamm (74) • Indonesia 8 Dec 09

Do you think it serves a real purpose? Is it right? Do we have the right to take someone's life,regardless of the crime? I personally againts death penalty,i agree to lifetime sentences rather than death chamber.It will still...

death penalty

wlee9696 Hello spalladino - well it's nice to find something we agree on. There are times when nothing short of the death penalty is appropriate. If society has judged that you cannot be trusted to live among the population again in your lifetime we should not have to...

Are we becoming like domesticated animals to the government?

wlee9696 @wlee9696 (595) • United States 8 Dec 09

I become concerned that as the government attempts to take over more and more of our lives that humans will cease to try and better themselves. Kind of like if you put food out for a feral cat - the cat will cease to hunt and will...

A regulatory coup has taken place right under your noses

xfahctor @xfahctor (14118) • Lancaster, New Hampshire 8 Dec 09

Yesterday, while everyone was focused on the healthcare circus, Reid's stupidity, the amanda Knox Verdict and tiger woods, a coup took place. Two years ago, I uttered a warning to people that at the time I myself wasn't totaly...

wlee9696 I agree that this is a power grab, a smart one too. It's just one more way to regulate us. It keeps ignorant people beholden to the government. Just another way to keep those us under the government thumb. When are people going to wake up and understand that...

wlee9696 Why would you ask if he is a racist? Does being anti- Obama mean you are racist? Did anything on the billboard mention race? The guy is expressing his opinion - that is a right we have here in American. If you don't agree with the president it doesn't make you...

Debate: Which is the most lovable? The DOGS? or the CATS?

rjvb26 @rjvb26 (2518) • Philippines 8 Nov 09

Just be your self, we need a debate not just a conversation, so we need to put the differences not only the goodness of the both, and i need your own opinion. Just choose one pet to defend. So we can have a good debate and a long...

wlee9696 Well that is what they say. I have nothing at all against dogs - in fact I like them very much. I just like cats better.

What do you think of locks and other security systems?

ilovemit @ilovemit (279) • China 5 Dec 09

We can find locks almost everywhere.But sometimes we may them annoying.What do you think of it? Do they make us safe or they are just barriers between ourselves.I'd like to hear your thoughts.Thanks.

2 responses

wlee9696 Locks are for honest people, crooks will find a way in. All they have to do is break a window. Security systems are helpful but we hear so many alarms these days no one responds anymore. Think about it - when you are in a parking lot and hear a car alarm go...

Should university education be free?

magic9 @magic9 (980) • China 5 Dec 09

I personally think that university education should be totally free because to be educated is the supreme human right of every member of a civilized society. Ironically in some underdeveloped remote tribes, every member of the...

wlee9696 But why should those that have worked hard and have more money have to spend that money on something everyone else gets for free? I think scholarships should be merit based not financially based.

wlee9696 I have two kids in college and it is very expensive. But I don't agree that it should be free. It would make us more dependent on the government because someone has to pay for the costs associated with the education. The more government control the more...

jb78000 @jb78000 (15139) 5 Dec 09

in my case there are two - agreeing with the local amnesty group that i'd provide emergency accomodation for a refugee - and doing the usual helping out for other groups. how about yourself?

wlee9696 I prefer to pick out a specific family in the area that I know is trying hard but not making it. Then we donate toys and food annonymously to that family. I don't like for them to know who we are because I don't want them to feel obligated to us in any way. We...

wlee9696 Either way no one is going to quit defending their position or way of life - everyone thinks they have the right of it. So no I don't think it's the other way around :) I have the right of it.

wlee9696 All of these works are open to man's practical application of them. That is what divides out the various religions and sub groups within religions. Men pick out the parts they believe and leave the rest. This applies to all the great religious works such as...

wlee9696 It depends on why you lost your vision. If it is due to a cataract or other physical obstruction you could recover part of it. If it's due to retinal, nerve or other changes in the eye chances are nothing will return it. The only person who can truly give you...

wlee9696 I always shovel my sidewalk so my family or visitors don't slip and fall - I also put down salt. I don't shovel my driveway. Snow does not mean school closure however there are several great sites like Schools out that can email you or text you phone when...

Sen. Barbara Boxer doesn't care if climate change is fake get the whistleblower!

Taskr36 @Taskr36 (13963) • United States 3 Dec 09

Yup, I knew one of our corrupt congressman would do this. It was just a matter of time. No, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif. doesn't care if climate change is fake. She doesn't care about fabricated or manipulated data that has been...

wlee9696 Barbara Boxer is part of the congress that has got to go. She is one of the most ridiculous senators out there. Typical behavior to ignore the message and kill the messenger. Ever since she so arrogantly instructed General Walsh to call he Senator - yet she...

wlee9696 That is very interesting. There have been several incidences through history where broadcasts have been taken over. April 27, 1986 HBO had it's broadcast hijacked and for four minutes a written message was displayed over color bars. September 6, 1987 the...
