ok, i know its dragging on about mrs. anna nicole smith stern, they say howard is to blame on her drug use, in a way I agree but for most part I do not, they say he is the reason she was so medicated,,i beg to differ,, the doctors who prescribed her the medicines are to blame also, they knew she was pregnet, you just cant call up and say hey I hurt give me some pills, the diludid,,that is a heavy duty drug,and in now way should have been prescribed for a pregnet woman , i dont care if it was anna or if it the queen of England, it just should not have been prescribed. my husband was on diludid at one time,,and i hate to admit it , but he abused it,,and we both spoke to the doctor and explained our concerns of addiction,,and he was taken off the medicine,,when someone wants to ease there pain, they will do anything to ease it,,thats where the ONE THAT LOVES U STEPS IN AND SAYS HEY ,,ENOUGH ,, U NEED MORE HELP THAN I CAN GIVE <

How do you feel about the possiblity of the government requiring school aged girls to receive the new vaccine for HPV? Do you think it encourages them to have sex? And do you think it's the government's place to regulate what vaccines kids should receive?

It makes me sick that now they want to do this so that the ones who voted in favor of the war, like hillary clinton, could redeem themselves.
"Democrats to revoke the 2002 congressional resolution authorizing the war in Iraq and to restrict U.S. troops to a limited mission as they prepared to withdraw"

Bush went to visit wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. He returns with a speech how he supports our war wounded for their sacrifices. He's a LIAR.

Have you read the latest about the unacceptable conditions of the Medical Center by the new Defense Secretary Robert Gates. Rumsfeld should be held accountable for this outrage and legally processed and thrown in the can.

Complex communication is human nature. It is one of the major traits that separates us from the other animals. Human beings have the ability to communicate and resolve problems through speech. Natural selection selects for traits that increase the chances for reproduction. Solving problems with communication gives humans the ability to continue reproducing. Violence goes against evolution and limits reproduction. Violence may increase reproduction for some people, but communication increases reproduction for far more people. Violence is a "decision" people make, one that goes "against" human nature.

Read an article where they state that Prince William will be going to Iraq to serve and they are afraid he will be a target. So, why the heck did the press have to give out every little bit of information on where he will be, how many men in his unit, etc., etc. I'm sure he will be followed around by some press guy where ever he goes while there so they can report when he picks up a stone or something.

My dad keeps on trying to tell me that it was the levee's that destroyed New Orleans. He said if the gov't wasn't involved in people's business, and real business would have been able to build the levee to actual standards, none of this would have happened. So was it Katrina, or the gov't once again being involved in your business that destroyed an american city?

I think he made the right decision, but I felt angry when he was ACTING choked up. It didn't seem genuine at all, just more for the cameras.

THE VIETNAM WAR COST AMERICA 58,000 LIVES, 3,000 HELICOTERS, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BOMBS, HUNDREDS OF PLANES, MILLIONS OF ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION, GRENADES, RIFLES, SUPPLIES. ALL TOLD:$220 BILLION (1968)DOLLARS. THE FASCISTS CONTROL OF THIS GOVERNMENT IS DEPLETING OUR RESOURCES AT THE RATE OF $10 MILLION DOLLARS/DAY IN IRAQ. WHY HAVEN'T WE SEEN OUR "OIL DEPENDENCE", NOT DEMOCRACY, IS THE REASON WE ARE IN IRAQ? WE NOW(SINCE 1863) LIVE UNDER A GOVERNMENT OF THE (CORPORATE) PEOPLE, BY THE (CORPORATE LOBBY)PEOPLE, FOR THE (CONTROLLING CORPORATE RICH) PEOPLE. AS SUCH, THE MILITARY HAS BECOME AN ENFORCER OF THE ELITE BUSINESS INTERESTS OF THIS COUNTRY. WE NEED TO BREAK OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOSSIL FUELS, THUS BREAKING OUR SHAMEFUL DEPENDENCE ON THE OIL COMPANIES AND THEIR NEED TO DRAG US INTO WARS TO SECURE THEIR PROFITS. DURING THE PAST 143 YEARS WE HAVE BEEN DUPED INTO BELIEVING WE STILL LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY. EVERY WAR WE HAVE FOUGHT HAS BEEN FOR ECONOMIC REASONS. POLITICAL IDEOLOGY? DOLLARS!

That really bothered my about how the news stories were calling this animal a "monster", no its not!!, its just an animal!! If its that rare then put it back and let it live its life out, maybe put a tracker on it but to pull it out and kill it was unnecessary and inhumane. (If it was not killed then correct me if I'm wrong.)

Putting this on again for people that didn't see it before. This is bad that the US government isn't stepping in to try and work something out with Mexico on this. And why would they wait 3 years if it was so serious??

According to an article in the New York Times, the International Atomic Energy Agency, a United Nations-sanctioned watchdog group, has reported that the Islamic Republic of Iran is moving ahead wtih plans to enrich more uranium, in spite of a Security Council resolution that threatened sanctions if the nation did not stop. Given the trouble that the United States has had in securing Iraq and the unpopularity of intervention in Iran, what steps do you think the U.S. should take to resolve this situation? Is there a diplomatic pathway or will crippling sanctions be neccessary? Can sanctions work when the price of oil is still very high? Is the answer a coordinated military strike? What do you think?

If the United States attacks Iran, can someone foresee what would be the chain reaction of events, which would directly lead to the III-rd World War? For instance, US attacks Iran; Iran launches missiles on Israel; Israel retaliates and its rockets hit Kuwait by mistake; the Persian Gulf countries (primarily Kuwait, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Oman) launch an attack on Israel, Turkey - a member of NATO - allows the US to launch attacks on Iran from its soil, and Iran attacks Turkey. Another NATO members come in aid, and Bulgaria, Romania, Greece launch attacks by air on Iran too. Iran - in defence - attacks the European countries, and the WW III breaks down (there could also be scenarios of North Korea and India x Pakistan "nuclear" behaviour).

Can anyone suggest other plausible scenarios?

(***Also, plz, plz, plz star my question, if you genuinely think it is interesting. Many thanks, and I'll be looking forward to reading your worst case scenarios!***)

What do you think of this cheap-jack punk and his proposed television show? Should the theme song be "Reach out of the Darkness" by Friend and Lover? Will they give away beaded necklaces and free LSD to the audience? Will the Bailiff be played by a lust-maddened Werewolf?
