They are forced to use this name (and can't use their flag) in the Olympics, Miss Universe contest, etc. They can't even use Republic of China, either. What is the international community that WEAK that they can't stand up for a place with it's own constitution, military, currency and democratic elections--a place that the PRC has no direct control over. What's wrong with everybody?? They let Palastine, Hong Kong, and Macau use their names and flags, and they aren't even actual countries.

It seems that after the 2004 Election everybody has jumped on the "I Hate Bush" bandwagon... However, it seems to me that the people that attack the President don't really have any solutions of their own... Back in 2002, the vast majority of Americans agreed with President Bush's use of force in Iraq... You do not fight a war for 3 years, and then decide that you are tired of it... Anybody who says we are not making progress in Iraq is misinformed. Attacks are steadily declining, and the streets of Baghdad are becoming more secure by the day. Why does nobody want to stay the course? A lot of things that people attack the President with is something that they really don't even understand. People didn't understand the Dubai Ports Deal. Yet they still said that the President was doing something wrong. People don't understand military tribunals. People definetely didn't understand the CIA Leak Case, and yet Karl Rove is guilty? Does anybody actually know what he was guilty of?!?! Thanks...

I clicked on someones link and it took me to youtube and there was the flag of Mexico above the American flag, but the American flag was upside down, what was the meaning of that?? For me it was a sign of disrespect and pretty much a slap in the face, but I want to know what they were trying to convey with that message, anyone know???

I went to see the Superman movie tonight and I ran into a man wearing a "I support the troops" shirt tonight. His chest was sticking out like a muscleman and he looked so proud. I thanked him for his support and I told him I am a former military man. He shook my hand and said "I will always support the troops". I then told him I have a family member who is an Army recruiter near Mt Clemens Michigan and I would like him to join the military and "really" support the troops. He said "But!!...But!!! I.....I....Have a family". I said "Many service men have a family and they go to Iraq". I said to him again..."Here's my phone number....Call me and I will have you in Iraq in about 6 months".He looked at me like he had crap in his mouth. I said "George Bush needs you! Come on....Walk the walk and let's see how you look in uniform." The man just turned away and walked away. All I can say is this. He must be a republican. One can tell by his actions. He's a puke poor American.

We hear and read so many complaints about the incompetency of George Bush, Tony Blair, and Kim Jong-iL, but there are many others who are doing questionable jobs at running their countries - who would you choose as the absolute worst?

In his lifetime, hitler did not personally kill anyone, he ordered the extermination of over 3 million jews, handicapps, jypsies, blacks, and all that opposed him.

But Stalin Proudly claims to have personally killed 15,000 people and ordered millions more killed, of his own people! collectively, he caused the death of over 43 million people!

i am not argueing for Hitler, im just saying its irrational.

They think just because some book a bunch of stoners from 2,000 years ago wrote says something it must be true. It's just like how if Michael Moore, etc. says something it's automatically right.

The majority vote of the average American citizen should determine who becomes our President, not the Electoral College. In this age of technological innovation, congress should put more funds into developing reliable technology that will ensure a flawless voting process and, in turn, eliminate the need for the Electoral College.
