We've been told that Social Security is in dire trouble and will run out of money in the not-too-distant future. We've been told that the only way to fix this is privatization. But here's a different way: There's an income limitation on the deduction of Social Security taxes from wages. This year, I believe it's approximately $100,000. That means that after a person has earned that much, any further income is not taxed for Social Security. If the income limitation was raised to, say, $200,000, without raising the percentage deducted (which is 6.2%), still much more money could be collected and put into the system and would help defray the so-called crisis in Social Security. It seems like a reasonable way to do it to me. So, why shouldn't we?

The U.S. allows wasteful spending on bus services to take children to and from school, some children live with in a 2 mile radius of school zone. Would it not be better for the Americans to concontrait on getting transportation to the undocumented worker that are risking their lives crossing southern U.S. just to get to where they can work ?

It just confuses me that while they say a little fertilized seed is a life, somehow it's ok to go and kill for (very often) our own selfish reasons.

why are people bashing sex offender if they don't have claim to suport it by saying sex offender have higher % of reoffending while
I can prove that they really don't the link from the GOVERMENT show that less then 1 % do reoffend.

* Within 3 years following their release, 5.3% of sex offenders (men who had committed rape or sexual assault) were rearrested for another sex crime.

Compared to non-sex offenders released from State prisons, released sex offenders were 4 times more likely to be rearrested for a sex crime. (this does NOT mean sex offender reoffended it is a comparing from bank robber are less likely to do a sex crime then a sex offender will and it still less then 1%)

At the current rate of progress in Iraq, the number of our troops killed will soon exceed the death toll for Sept. 11. Then, having demonstrated that we can beat the terrorists at their own game, can we all come home?

N. Korea has some missiles (that don't go too far), our American news sources are all fluttering around with worry. If Reagan's Star Wars satellites are still up there, who gives a sh#t if the missiles ever do fly? Aren't we protected by those overpriced satellites?

Last night I was out on a date with what I was hoping was my soon to be girlfriend. We went to a playground and had swung around on the swings etc, just having a good time. It was getting dark out so I walked her to her car and was saying good bye when a police officer pulled into the parking lot, and pulled up next to us. The officer asked us if we had seen a group of 10 or so cars go by the school earlier, because someone had filed a complaint against them. We said "yes" because we had seen a group of cars drive past about 10 minutes before, and were sure that the police were talking about the same cars. The officer thanked us for our time, then got back into her car, but didnt leave. A few minutes later, she came back out of her car and ordered me to put turn around and put my hands on the car because I was under arrest. Apparently 2 years ago when i was 17, I was caught shoplifting and even though i paid the guy, he still pressed charges against me.
Is that arrest legal?

a few months ago i read a question asked on here saying will United States and North Korea go to war? Majority answered no. NIf you said no before thinking that they wouldnt go to war what is your answer now. This is only aimed for people who said no when tensions started to rise.

I recently watched the movie TAPS (Book – Father Sky). It was the saddest movie I ever saw. I was wondering, is the depiction of the students loving (to the point of fighting for it) (some died trying to save it) their school in the movie at all realistic or is it just Hollywood? I always thought that military school was somewhere where “troublemakers” went to be punished. The movie is making me wonder about weather there is actually more to it than a first thought. Do military schools actually help train people to be leaders?

To those who have seen the movie:
If this were to actually happen would you support the school closing or staying open? Would you try to help the situation?

Wouldn't it be nice if a school teacher there made a thank you card for all the kids to sign and send to some school kids in the attacking countries, expressing their gratitude? I'm sure the Iraqi people are just as gracious with their thanks as any other people, if they had something to be thankful for.

As more and more americans rally behind the idea of good, solid border enforcement, do you think mexican leaders are going to go along with the idea, or try to fight it? There's a lot of money involved...
