I know close to nothing about politics but wouldn't we be better off without this split in our government? I think they get in the way of our country becoming great by not allowing real people with real values into office. Voting is useless because you will always get one or the other, no matter what. Just another lawyer with the parties goals in mind not the peoples wants in mind. They can talk a good game but in reality, they want what is best for the party only. Many of the local and state officials from both parties are good but they will never get into the presidency because the parties don't want someone who thinks for himself and the people into office. What would happen to their salaries, oh no. Can anyone tell me what good any political party does? Please I am open to any criticism as well.

Ok through some reliable sources I have learned the states of california and oregon have both purchased several guillotines. any ideas of why they would do this and upon further reasearch I have learned of a company outside the U.S has seen a dramatic rise in orders and yes this company manufactures guillotines.
Am I the only one thinking this is odd.

Since they are not selling anything does this mean they can keep calling me despite being asked not to? They call at least every 2 weeks. I am a regular donator and give when I can, but have told them numerous times to stop calling since they call up til 9pm and that is too late for us.

Why do people continually say that people such as myself who can't stand illegal immigrants are racist? Has it occurd to YOU people that you're being racist by assuming all illegals are hispanics? And we never once said we hate hispanics we just can't stand the illegal ones and the ones who wont learn English this doesn't make us racist this makes reasonable. Is it so much to want someone to come here legally and if they are going to live here learn the language. I can assure you that if I moved to France I'd learn French or if I moved to Spain I'd learn spanish. Its you who are racist its called reverse discrimination.

For some help, look at http://flags.com


So here's my list:

Libya - Wow, it's PURE GREEN. There's not even a freaking logo or some stars. Well, they get an A for originality. There's no other country's flag that's just completely one color.

New Zealand - I don't like the haphazard looking stars. It's kind of dumb. Like if you just swallowed six stars and barfed them up on this flag.

Tuvalu - Total ripoff of the New Zealand flag, only uglier.

State of Maryland - UGH! TACKY, TACKY, TACKY. This flag is completely hideous. Who designed it, Timothy Leary?

I was wondering if cookbooks have any form of protection on their recipies which would prevent someone from using it lets say in their own cookbook. and if there is what would happen if he/she would change some of the directions or ingredients, or the name would it still be protected.

All I see tonight is Liberals trying to pick actual physical fights! Have the arrogant, condensending, all-knowing, progressive, open minded, TOLERANT, liberals run out of logical facts to debate with US conservatives? Emotion has definately taken over because if you did have something intelligent to say - you would be able to use facts & reports to back up your lies. I see no factual back up only threats and invitation to your bars. Thank you guys for showing all of us your limited brain capacity and that you follow the democratic playbook - When liberal arguements are proven flawed - distract people by personal character attacks. Classy move libs!

We could read their consperiacy in their news papers hear it on radio station and on their news and be a step ahead! It would be handy if I ALWAYS knew what they were saying. Most of all I would need it to be a border patrol agent or an ICE agent. Now theres some good benifits (federal). The pays not great but the rewards would be great!

I CAN REMEMBER BUSH SAID "WE'VE GOT TO GO TO IRAQ BECAUSE THEY HAVE WMD AND THE INTELLIGENCE IS 'DARN GOOD'" AND ALL THE NEOCONS WERE LIKE, YES IRAQ HAS WMD, THEY ATTACKED NEW YORK ON 9/11 AND WE HAVE TO GOTO WAR IN IRAQ. THEN AFTER IT WAS SHOWN THAT THE INTELLIGENCE WAS FLAWED, BUSH FINALLY ADMITTED IT WAS FLAWED BUT BY THEN HE HAD EVOLVED THE REASONS WE WENT TO WAR AND THE REST OF THE NEOCONS HAD EVOLVED WITH HIM. THEN THEY SAID " YOU CAN'T HOLD IT AGAINST BUSH BECAUSE HE HAD FLAWED INTELLIGENCE" EVEN THOUGH THE DEMOCRATS HAD SAID IT WAS FLAWED ALL ALONG.

Seriously.. all you have to say is abortion is the termination of a human life (which it is) and they go crazy!
I don't get it.. maybe they're just so bitter knowing they killed their own baby and take it out on pro-life people..

A canadian reporter (Benoît Dutrizac) quoting american sources said he was in a sacred place. He linked it to the information that the Bin Laden family (big construction entrepreneurs) rebuilded The Mecca during the 1970s and so Usama Bin Laden is hiding in the tunnels and underground works of The Mecca.

The majority of immigrants want nothing more than to contribute to the community. They would have prefered to remain in their homelands but are here so they can feed their families. Many young men come alone, after their entire extended families have scraped together the money to get them here. What they are able to earn at even the lowest paid jobs, feed whole families back home. Most work 2 and 3 jobs and work 18 hour days. They have build a strong community here that supports each other and they contribute a great deal to the local economy and community. As for that myth of free medical care? They sure don't get it here! Every Monday at the local hospital, there is a line of Brazilians waiting to make their small payments on what they owe. My friend who works in the billing office tells me that the only people who don't pay their bills are the Americans.

The current wave of immigrants are people, no different than the Irish great-grand parents who fled Ireland. People looking to survive and raise their children out of poverty.
On a side note: I wonder if these same people would agree to stop Spanish-language Army commercials meant to recruit Latino youth into the military.

It is a reality show by Morgan Spurlock who did 'Super-Size Me'. They picked a Minute-Man who was dead set against illegal immigrants to live with a family of illegal immigrants for 30 days to see what would happen.
This guy lived in a one bedroom apt with an illegal Mexican family of like 7 people. He worked with the father and collected cans with the mother and played golf with the daughter. He even went to Mexico to visit the family that this family left behind and saw the house they used to live in before they came here illegally.
Basically, the man grew to really like this family and changed his feeling towards illegal immigrants. While watching the show I grew to like the family and feel sorry for them as well, but it did not change my feelings that illegal immigration was wrong and would bring down this country if it got out of hand. The mother who moved here like 10 years or so ago made no attempt at all to speak English, not even simple words like hello or yes.
