      No rocket science to discern why Israelis despise Carter. He wants peace.

      B3 = BABY BURNING BASTARDS = ISRAELIS.

      Amnesty International said that Israel's reluctance to admit its use of the munitions had cost lives. Most victims were treated as normal burns cases Amnesty said, but the phosphorous particles embedded in the flesh kept burning under the dressings, sometimes causing irreparable damage to internal organs.

      N.B.: This comment deleted by monitors, despite documentation. Inflammatory? That's the hope. Total acceptance and apologistic rationale will only insure the moral hazard of repetition.

      Hey ME envoy, chew on this.

      When the child killers can't burn them with phosphorus, they abuse them psychologically with sexual abuse. From NPR:

      Hikind (an orthodox) refuses to release the names of alleged perpetrators, although he is working with the district attorney's office. He says the people who confided in him are afraid to go public, which creates a perfect situation for abusers.

      "If you're a pedophile, the best place for you to come to are some of the Jewish communities," he says. "Why? Because you can be a pedophile and no one's going to do anything. Even if they catch you, you'll get away with it."

      Religions seem a black hole for the depraved, as they are inevitably and irretrievably drawn to them. Then there's also the Israeli army. As posted before, when mankind starts devouring its young, it's time for a do-over.

      Drugs have been involved in sports performance since the earth cooled. Have you compared the way baseball players look today to the way they did 50 years ago? It's astounding. www.majorleaguebaseballcreditcard.com

      The tests will never keep up with the drugs. Sports are big business and people will always try to get an edge. www.baseballcreditcardoffers.com . I don't blame the athletes. They aren't the ones devolping the drugs.

      It is a travesty that a number of today's athletes are not true athletes due to performance-enhancing drugs. Athletics are about the human body's ability to reach its personal best wherever the top of that scale is for you. If you use performance enhancing drugs, you take that away. It is no longer YOUR body in its natural form and abilities. Now you have turned yourself into some kind of superhuman which you are not. The beauty, in the talent of any sport is in its natural abilities to perform without the help of outside stimuli. Those athletes who cheat, only cheat themselves and end up suffering humiliation and public scrutiny.

      The NFL has random drug testing and other sports like professional wresting have introduced it. Some high schools are also apparently introducing random drug testing. something Charlie Rose could follow up on. However professional baseball players and their fans prefer to have illegal drug use in professional baseball, with the resulting impact on teenagers. There is however a simple solution - the fans could say we won't buy the tickets.
