Given that governments (of all ideologies) have murdered 100-200 million people in the last century alone (through war, starvation, genocide, etc), do you think that there is any hope that people will stop turning to the State to "help" them "solve" their problems?

I hope this question doesn't turn into a rant about what a few mean people are saying about Hispanics. Keep in mind there will always be those who will say disrespecful things about all races, religions, ethnic groups and nationalities. On the other hand hope this doesn't turn into a rant for bigots that don't like Hispanics. I hope everyone keeps in mind that illegal aliens come from all countries and are of all races. The reason I ask this of Hispanics is because a large number of illegal aliens are Hispanic and they are often times negatively affeted by illegal immigration.

My friends ex-husband is not disable and he is on SSI. He said to me that, that was the only way he can escape paying for child support. He now has other childrens. But he has a 8 years old boy that recieves no child support due to the fact that the father is on SSI. Its sad to see my friend struggle with her son. paying for baby sitters and having to work two jobs just so they can have enough money to pay for their apartment. And then sad that the father had to be on SSI Disability only so he would not get to pay support for their son. I have to help her with this months rent and i feel so bad for their son. I know that what the father did is wrong. But does anyone know what she should do?? How can she get child support? What evidence do she need. We both know that its a fraud but how do we get him for it???? Isnt there a law?

No one is perfect. Mexicans are great people. Color nationality doesn’t make any one better than any one. Everyone should be treated the same. Illegal have done wrong but it was never meant to hurt anyone. They just want a better life. Instead of fighting by insulting others we should work and together focus on the truth behind politicians and mostly the government. Differences are what compile hatred. Please let’s all respect each other and finally fight for the real freedom, not for what they want us to believe. Don’t u see it ,the war, why is it here. Is it really because 911 or was it here long ago but we couldn’t see it. Open ur minds , don’t be blinded by lies.

Item: Mexican ambulance drivers are transporting hospital patients unable to pay for medical care in Mexico to facilities in the United States. They know that the federal Emergency Medical Act mandates that U.S. hospitals with emergency-room services treat anyone who presents themselves for care, including illegal aliens. The ambulances are driving through unguarded portions of the border with "little resistance" at the instruction of Mexican officials.

I volunteer once in a while for an organization called Boatsie's Boxes. We collect donations of money and items like shampoo, bug spray, sunblock, letters from students and citizens, etc and send them to you guys. My questions has to do with a very nasty response I received from someone on the Yahoo! News message boards a while back. I do not support this war, but I feel that my opinion about the war is moot because my thoughts are with the soldiers that are over there and that's why I volunteer. This person told me that he has a son over in Iraq and if he knew that these items were coming from 'someone like me' that he and his fellow soldiers would take those items and throw them in the trash. Is this how you feel as well? Even knowing that my intentions are to hopefully make you feel a little better, letting you know that we are thinking about you, by sending you these things?

do single unemployed girls with kids get more than those who are hard working?

I have worked full time since I was 16\- Im now 27. Only recently I have changed to part time as I have had my daughter.

Anyway when i was pregnant I was working full time. I got no help from the state, goverment etc with buying things for my baby, nor did I expect it.

However a friend of a friend who is 19 and never worked a day in her life, got £500 to buy essentials from the goverment????

She actually spent this on drinking and nights out and clothing for herself. This I know for a fact. WHY WHY WHY does she get help?????

Its like saying to the young generation of this country, get pregnant, get unemployed - WE'LL SUPPORT YOU!

No wonder this country is overwhelmed with illegal immigrants wanting to get in! Where a bunch of suckers!

What other countrys do you know that actually gives you money for free??? Dont work, heres a house, heres some free cash, heres money for your kids!!!

I have a rather difficult question that I really need help with.

I have 3 children that I am obligated to pay support for. I am between jobs, getting ready to start another one. I had been doing fine paying support consistently for 7 months or better. I am behind on all of them due to a bout with the law that put me in jail for a year (unrelated).

I live in Indiana, only one child lives in the same state as me. One lives in Ohio and another in Missouri. I have met my son in Ohio once, never met my daughter, only have pictures. My son's mom got married while pregnant and has been with him ever since (almost 9 years). Daughter in Missouri's mom had been married, divorced and since re-engaged.

I feel that it is important to help care for your kids. However, it is also important to SEE them too. I probably never will due to lack of vehicle...should I terminate my rights, pay the arrearage since I will never have a life with them? What rights do I have to avoid jail?

You have your wars with each other, you have your hate...

but let me tell you now... that if those Soldiers, those BRAVE< COURAGEOUS men and women that saved the world from Hitler, they sacrificed there all for you and me to live in the world today...

I don't care what your Religious denomination is, what colour (color) you are... whether your racial preferences interfere with your sanity...

if it where not for those people... you would probably not exist...

Do you really think Hitler would have stopped in europe and Africa!

Do you think that you would be even here today to have your little squabbles over oil and religion! Or Race!

I think not!

So how do you feel now?

You should at least have a little respect!

You are wonderful People... Get on!

Lets have a GLOBAL PARTY FOR PEACE! SOON! TBA!

Come on you guys, what are we going to do?

The general realm of capitalism seems to be an effective way to move a nation away from poverty. (china being a good example). However, will simply social awareness and donation make enough of a difference to eliminate poverty? Or is a global economic reform necessary?

In late January 2003, as Secretary of State Colin Powell prepared to argue the Bush administration's case against Iraq at the United Nations, veteran CIA officer Tyler Drumheller sat down with a classified draft of Powell's speech to look for errors. He found a whopper: a claim about mobile biological labs built by Iraq for germ warfare.

Drumheller instantly recognized the source, an Iraqi defector suspected of being mentally unstable and a liar. The CIA officer took his pen, he recounted in an interview, and crossed out the whole paragraph.

A few days later, the lines were back in the speech. Powell stood before the U.N. Security Council on Feb. 5 and said: "We have first-hand descriptions of biological weapons factories on wheels and on rails."
The sentence took Drumheller completely by surprise. President Bush knew these were lies and yet he allowed this information to be seen and heard by the American People. As a result we have lost 2,517 troops. This is sad for the USA.

I am a liberal Democrat from the great state of Massachusetts. I have a small drinking problem and my hobbies do include drinking and walking around my backyard in my underwear watching my nephews bring over girls to rape. My brothers killed Marilyn Monroe and the whole family has BIG issues with our teeth, flying in airplanes and guns. I enjoy midnight rides after drinking a fifth of bourbon with a beautiful lady at my side as I drive over rivers using bridges. I am so drunk right now and confused. Do you think I should retire from public office? Help me please.
