Politics & Government - 23 June 2006

My brother and his wife are trying to get an abortion. Where they live, it is perfectly legal. I believe people have a right to protest, but I don't believe they have a right to PHYSICALLY stop them from entering the clinic or threaten them. One protester threatened to kill both of them (physically end their lives) if they walk through the door to the clinic. Some other protesters stood in front of the door so they could not enter. They ended up going home without going into the clinic. Later that night a rock came through their window hitting the wife in the head sending her to the hospital. A note was attached to the rock claiming they were going to kill them if they have the abortion. Apparently, one of the protesters took the license plate number from their car and found out their address from that information. The protesting group is denying any involvement in this case and is threatening to sue if my brother and his wife “slander” them.

But it’s considered ok to send thousands to their death based on lies and distorted reality, and to turn our once free country into a neo-fascist state? I'm not condoning what Clinton did. I think he's an adultering pig. But, how was he impeachably worse than Mr. Clueless?

keep saying don't build a wall on the border, and that the only true Americans are the Native Americans? If the indians would have enforced their borders, we wouldn't be here either. To me, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to handle the illegal immigration issue. Just enforce the law.

For instance, if you criticize the war in Iraq, veterans will post and tell you that if you didn't serve, you'd better shut the hell up. I just posted a question about infertility treatments, and someone told me that if I was able to conceive on my own that I have no right to ask why others would pursue medical means.

But don't we all depend on open dialogue?

Why do we bother? We've helped South Korea ,Veitnam,
We help purely for Humanitarian reasons yet we still get
crap from other nations.
Why don't we just screw the world and stop helping them?

Can someone help me out?

a month ago, my friend borrowed my car, and got into a small accident. The man decided to follow my friend to my house since it was on the next block this had happened.
He seemed to be very friendly, admited it was his fault, and said he was i a hurry to drive his wife to the airport she was a flight attendant and didnt want to be late. He said he left his insurance card in his other car..I thought to myself, it happens, accidents do happen, so he gave me his drivers license, i wrote down all the information, he gave me his home telephone number.
So I called him back a few days later, he told me he was on the phone and couldnt talk, i was like oookkk. so i called him back 2 minutes later and asked him for his insurance policy number.
He said that since it was such a small dent, then he would pay me cash.so i went ahead, and got n estimate on the damage, $1,200.
My husband called him 2 weeks ago and left a message and told him the estimate. He never cal

Corporate america gets a lot of flak for being Greedy, however, aren't we all greedy? (BTW, all of you people that aren't greedy, drop me a line and I'll tell you where to send me some money).

Governments: Governments keep increasing taxes so than they can get more money to spend.

Employees: Will jump ship (after months of training) and work for another company that offers them more money. Employee theft (aka "shrinkage" is a major expense of many retail businesses.

Consumers: Buy the product that gives us the most for the least amount of money.

Liberals: Want to give the poor all kinds of things, but don't want the users to pay for a penny of it. Let's let someone else write the check.

As a country we could feed the world. Even the poorest americans could contribute to this cause by cutting back a bit.

Aren't we all greedy to a point?

.....and isn't that what makes it all work (although not perfectly or idealy?)

Bill Bennet,Bill O'Reilly,Rush Limbaugh,Ann"good time" Coulter,
and on and on and on.Can't seem to find ONE conservative polemic without being caught with the proverbial pants down.
And oh yeah,ONLY liberals are "morally bankrupt".(wink wink)

I dont think they can.They're just sociopaths.Morality is a mask,apparently.

Do not tell me I want Bush physically harmed.
Do not tell me I agree with all Democrats.
Do not tell me I "hate" my country,or worse.

This just amazes me...

1. Current administration's 911 report declared Iraq did not have anything to do with 911. This is an absolute but some ppl still want to argue with it.

2. We r participating in the torture of prisoners through what is called redension. (We send them to a country that does torture so we can say we didn't do it then get information given back to us) Even C. Rice herself has admitted we do this.

3. The UN was great and wonderful until they didn't do what we wanted. If the UN was so corrupt then why did we even go to them for Iraqi war approval? And think for just a sec... when did the allegations of corruption start? =when they wouldn't back what Bush wanted. No corruption has been proven btw.

4. Some say Saddam stated he had WMD beforethe war. Saddam himself went on 60 minutes prior to our invastion stating he didn't have them. How can ppl just make up this lie? And why is that even relevant?

Why can't neocons see truth when it's slapping them in the face?

I keep hearing the illegals saying that they come to this country because of the horrible things their president does, and allows to be done to them. Illegals say they are too afraid to stand up to the problem, and that is why they have come here. If Americans should have to fix thier problems, then we should be allowed to hunt down, and put this president on trial for the abusive manner in which he treats his people. They tell me that revolutions in this country has always been met with mass murder, so why are we not chasing down President Fox for these crimes against his people, like we did with Iraq. It would be easier to hunt him down, we already know where he is. I have heard all of the reasons as to why we went to Iraq, but I want to know why the same rules don't apply to Mexico's leader.

We always hear that "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer"

Bill Gates being rich doesn't hurt anyone that's poor. The gap between them increases (like when Bill Gates is worth 100 Billion), but that doesn't hurt the poor.

It seems like the poor (we'll say poorest 10%) in America today have 2 bedrooms, cable tv, and enough to get by on. 100 years ago the poor might have had an entire family living in a small room. 200 years ago they very well may have starved to death.

I'd much rather be poor in America today than 100 or 200 years ago.

Is there something I'm missing???

He's five foot-two, and he's six feet-four,
He fights with missiles and with spears.
He's all of thirty-one, and he's only seventeen,
Been a soldier for a thousand years.

He'a a Catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jain,
A Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew.
And he knows he shouldn't kill,
And he knows he always will,
Kill you for me my friend and me for you.

And he's fighting for Canada,
He's fighting for France,
He's fighting for the USA,
And he's fighting for the Russians,
And he's fighting for Japan,
And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way.

And he's fighting for Democracy,
He's fighting for the Reds,
He says it's for the peace of all.
He's the one who must decide,
Who's to live and who's to die,
And he never sees the writing on the wall.

But without him,
How would Hitler have condemned him at Dachau?
Without him Caesar would have stood alone,
He's the one who gives his body
As a weapon of the war,
And without him all this killing can't go on.

He's the Universal Soldier and he really is to blame,
His orders come from far away no more,
They come from here and there and you and me,
And brothers can't you see,
This is not the way we put the end to war
