I'm speaking of the Viet Nam war here. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Can anyone tell me what was so tragic about pulling out of Viet Nam prematurely? Is anyone here old enough to remember, or have parents that remember?

what is with this smoke free environment from cigarettes?

While im sitting in traffic and hear on the radio our town is trying to have a smoke free community, i laugh in anger as a tractor truck passes me blowing black smoke all in the air and in my vehicle and thats just one truck. Then the factor smoking as i pass by it. If i have to stop smoking in public should the truckers and factories and old cars they smoke too. Be done away with. i see more hazard in the smoke coming from them vehicles than that comes from me.I just think this smoking cigaretts laws are a wast of time and money. I know of a group of women who have lung cancer and never smoked or was never around others that smoked. so whats your thoughts. If you dont like smoking then stay away from it. but you cant stay away from them simi's

Population control?

Do you think the government creates and spreads deseases to the minorities and the poor in order to maintain control of population? Women now have to worry about getting HPV which causes cervical cancer and can make you unable to have children, I think this government is shady. It's scary when you think about all the people suffering, from something that possible could of been avoided.

Why is it being a flip-flop bad?

Changing what you believe just shows that you know you were wrong. Kerry was labeled a flip-flop because he changed his mind about the Iraq war. And everyone thought that was a bad thing. When really, it just showed that he new he was wrong and he was ready to accept it.

why wasn't there any wreckage from the plane that supposedly crashed into the pentagon?

if you've ever seen photos of wreckage from a crashed commercial airliner (like the one that supposedly crashed into the pentagon)- you'd notice that there is always massive amounts of wreckage spread over a large radius, including large pieces of wings, and engines.
If you've seen the pictures from the pentagon after the 9/11 attack, you'll notice no wings, no engines, barely any wreckage at all- just a hole in the side of the building that a commercial air liner would probably not even fit into.
explanations?- ("the wreckage was vaporized instantly by the heat of the explosion" isn't going to cut it on this one... I'd rather you said, "david copperfield made it disappear")

O-peration I-raqi L-iberation will bring no valor to US troops or credit to the American people.

It's a for-profit war, and you stupid Bush Supporters have voted for the fool in the White House.

Why does idiot John Kerry thinks if he were Prez no war would be happening.?

What a joke out of the mouth of one of the biggest frauds(3 Purple Hearts in 4 months.Paper cuts must be bad in Vietnam). Then nothing but flip-flopping on everything he is ask to what people want to hear. Kerry go back and crawl under a rock Mondale would have been better than you idiot.

Personnel file information? Is there any action I should take?

I'm having a problem with my personnel file.
I'm being repremanded at work for days I've missed due to a disability. I asked for a copy of my personnel file, and while they have the letter of discipline in there, they do not have my signed slips for sick days or vacation days coinciding with the letter.
Also, last year because of the discovery of my disability, I was offered and took 6 weeks of short term disability. There is NO record of this whatsoever in the file. Is there any action I can take? I just want my boss off my back over missing days that they don't even have slips signed by me for.

Has democratic party evolved?

I always trusted democrats, but recent events sadden me a bit about the democrats. I think democrats these days will just do anything that's against republican views. I am a Jewish American and it shocked me to realize that a lot of democrats have such strong opposition to Israel's right to self defense. Some of the comments(about Israel) from the democrats that I talk to are simply racist ( and I always though republicans were racist). A lot of democrats these days will just say opposite of anything republicans are saying and I dunno how the heck democrats plan to win elections this way by just bashing republicans and not offering solutions. I think I'll stay a democrat, but I will probably lean to more moderate ways. I don't remmeber democrats during the Clinton era being so far-leftist. Do you think democratic party evolved after this Iraq war to be mostly far-left party?

why is the US always kissing Israel's a$$ ?what do we get out of it?

the US always does what Israel wants and for what so we can be attacked by lunatic fanatical terrorists. Also, we give more aid to Israel than the whole of the middle east combined, if we gave some of that aid to say Afghanistan and Palestine we would have far less terrorists in the world. Stop being so dumb America, dont let the Israelis control America, esp you dumb rednecks that voted for Bush again !!!

Why can't Alan Keyes be President?

It's not because he's black,it's because he's too religious,that's why.Most Americans are "Sunday Morning" Christians,but Keyes is "Saturday Night" christian-a little too close for comfort.

And I have to laugh sometimes at all these attacks against atheists, heretics,and other "unbelievers",as if christians are so convincing and so peaceful they dont need to resort to it.

As George Will said(one of the few ultraconseravtives who really is fair and balanced)Americans are more rhetorically conservative than they are in practice,and the fastest growing religion in the US(besides Islam) is the state of "none".There are two and a half times more non-religious Americans now than there was in 1990.

Why cant Rick Santorum be president,for that matter?
Hell,even Bush has the occasional drink or swear word,at least.

would you kill someone to escape from prison if you were wrongly convicted?

Say you're innocent, but the legal system found you guilty of murder. You're sentenced to life in prison. You're there for a year or so, and it sucks. Suddenly, the opportunity to escape presents itself, but to utilize it you must kill some random prison guard you've never seen before. Let's say for the purposes of this question that you can be certain of your chances of escape and are confident that you won't be recaught. Do you kill the guard?
