My question comes from information obtained from a very small police department. I found that they routinely polygraph any rape victim who doesn't fit the stereotypical "hysterical" rape victim, anyone who wasn't so seriously injured they couldn't have consented, any time there isn't strong DNA evidence, anytime the victim showered prior to calling police and so on. I am just wondering, with several states that have banned requesting or requiring polygraphs of rape victims, if this practice actually serves a good purpose. Does it actually do anything except beak down a rape vicitms already broken sense of trust and self worth? Further, how can a rape victim pass a polygraph and have the test be accurate given the emotional and personal nature of the crime of rape? The very nature of rape is it leaves the victim nervous, anxious and upset. Thoughts??

If they were born in the United States, they are citizens of this country by law. Isn't it better to let their parents stay here and provide for them?

On the 700 Club, "Rev." Pat Robertson stated that he ensured that Bush would support Israel, even though it was filled with evil Jewish people. He went on the explain that this was because Bush knew (via the good old Rev. $ himself) that the Bible states that in the end times Israel will be reestablished.
Is this why evangelical conservatives hate Jews but support Israel? So that Revalation will be fufilled?

Tell me whether you are a Democrat, a Republican, an Independant or none of the above--- Also, WHY are you a supporter of this group/candidates?
Personally, I am none of the above. I vote who I feel is the best person for the job regardless of their political party.

If people really think that illegal immigrants are like people breaking into your house, then maybe everyone should be allowed to hunt them down and shoot them. Maybe if you walk up to someone and they can't produce proof of citizenship or a valid visa within, say, five seconds, you can shoot them on sight. Does anyone think that's a good idea? Will this be a better country to live in after we massacre the 10 million or so people who are in this country without proper documentation?

If you’re a dog walker, a waitress or a senator, a toothache is a toothache.
And don’t say illegal aliens, because Canada has just as much illegal, yet every single person is entitled and is given free, that’s right free health care.
Why are people walking around without healthcare, uninsured, and completely helpless, and yet we have the money to invade (sorry help) other countries, when there are still Americans working their butts off, without healthcare? How is that possible in such a superpower such as the USA?
really think before you start typing, cus the USA HAS the money to provide at least BASIC healthcare to all its citizen, but doesnt, WHY?

They accidentally kill people and they often get off, they do all kinds of things that would get the typical citizen locked up for years, and they treat citizens of all backgrounds like human garbage. Yeah I know they get fed up because they deal with a lot of scum bags all day, but they abuse their power far too often. They're supposed to serve the public, not just their buddies in the police department.

This would require cable companies to offer individual channels, with a separate price for each one, instead of package deals with several channels bundled together. For example, if you just wanted CNN, MTV, and HBO, you could just order those instead of having to get a 100 channel package that includes all 3.
Why or why shouldn't cable companies be required to offer this kind of service?

As I was waiting for a friend in New Street Railway station, I noticed a man of Arabic origin walk away from a suitcase, I chased after him and handed it back to him.
"oh thankyou, thankyou he gushed, my life savings are in this case, in return I will give you valuable advice........... don't go to Liverpool"
"Why", I asked, "is it to be bombed ?"
"No" he gravely responded.
"It's a shithole !!"
