If AirForce-1 was shot down over the Middle East and G W Bush was captured alive, rather than executing him as a terrorist, he was arrested and put on trial for crimes against humanity, what do you think the outcome would be – Guilty or Not Guilty.

would you vote for a woman president just because she is a woman or would you vote for her because there has never been a woman president, and last but not least would you vote for a woman to be president because you think her issues that she will fight for would be right for this country and why?

Why do so many people oppose stem cell research? YA YA YA I know the whole debate about using aborted baby’s and unused embryos,(yes I’m pro choice) But do you people opposed to stem cell reacherch know there are other sources for stem cells? Like umbilical cord blood! You can donate your baby’s umbilical cord blood after it’s born and they use the stem cells in the cord blood for research, if you don’t donate it they just throw it away. So what’s the problem with that? Ill tell you what To appease all you prolifers what do you say we stop using aborted baby’s and unused embryos for research and just use umbilical cord blood, would that make you happy? That way we can continue the life saving research and both sides will be satisfied.

I would give a D+ and nothing better. We did nail a few bad apples in Iraq. We did take out the Taliban. Some plots were thwarted here though most were way over hyped, but not all.

But trying to give our ports over to country's linked to terrorism was crazy.

Taking most of our resources and man power to get Saddam and not getting Bin Laden is stupid.

Saying "he didn't care about Bin Laden and he doesn't cross my mind" was a slap in the face of America.

Diverting money from high risk terrorist targets to other targets like a mule, a hick town with a population of under 8,000 and a popcorn factory (not making this up) was mind boggling.

By not even trying to destroy Hamas or Hezbollah which experts agree have killed more Americans then Al-Qaeda and both gulf wars combined.

Using scare tactics to over hype the job he's doing and scaring us out of our freedoms (check out this video it's funny as hell).

I am a minor, and I was recently caught under the influence of mushrooms in a public place. I was with two other guys, 'Jake' and 'John'. John was holding whatever small amount of mushrooms we had left(approx. 2 small stems and 1 small cap) in his pocket. However, I had payed for the remainder of the mushrooms that John was holding. John and Jake had already payed for and ate their portion. I was also holding a small nug of pot(appx .5gram). I have had no prior convictions, however three years ago I was expelled from school for pot, but no charges were made. I am not sure if this is on my record or not. We weren't arrested.

My question is what legal reprocussions am I potentialy facing based upon these circumstances? Even though John was holding the mushrooms for me, am I going to be charged with possession because I bought the confiscated amount?

What do you reccomend I do in order to prepare myself for the trial?

Please dont tell me to stop drugs,I just need legal advice.

Most pro-abortion arguments focus on instances of rape, incest, potential for maternal injury, etc. The thing is, this only applies to a small percentage of cases. So here's my question - should completely arbitrary abortion be legal? (meaning that the child was conceived during consentual sex, no birth control mechanism failed, and the child is not a threat to the mother's life, although it may be a financial or emotional burden)

Shortly after 9/11 there was a sudden Anthrax scare and a second wave of scaremongering by G W Bush pointing the finger at Iraq as the culprit once again.

Ever wondered what happened to that Anthrax scare? The odds are overwhelming in favour of the US government (read G W Bush) deliberately instigating the spreading of Anthrax amongst US citizens, causing the death of some, in order to incite further hatred against Iraq to help justify the invasion.

The invasion of Iraq, irrespective of how bad Saddam Hussein was, was nothing more than a complete orchestrated litany of lies in order to deceive the world, and in particular US citizens. In that regard, the US government lying machine has done a wonderful job, but it’s sad to see so many Americans so gullible as to believe the illusion.

So anyone got their own opinions on the Anthrax scare and what was the outcome?

These embryos would be destroyed anyway, because they are leftover from fertility treatments. Why not use them for stem cell research and improve our chances of finding a cure for cancer, heart disease, or even AIDS? Isn't finding a cure saving lives? Why would George Bush veto this bill if it could save so many lives and these embryos are going to die anyway?

It doesn't make sense to me...someone who is pro-life, please explain.

Could you please clarify to a Yank what is going on in my second favourite country in the world? Is your situation with Muslim immigrants similar to our problem with Mexican and Latin American illegals? Is this a problem with illegals or all mmigrants coming to the westernized countries? Please share your country's situation and attitudes on the subject of immigration. Pros and cons are welcomed to answer.
