Politics & Government - 31 July 2006

This was in a newspaper relating to the approval of "Plan B" the morning after pill as an OTC (over the counter) drug. It said the drug could lead to more premarital sex among teens. But the drug also is what stops pregnancy from occurring. So why would this concern conservatives? Can you paint a broader political picture?

I don't think I understand why this would be bad for conservatives considering it would lessen the amount of teen pregnancies which cuts down on amount of children born into poverty, which in turn would be less mouths to feed and less money needed to be given to the poor through welfare? Or what do you think?

I'm not conservative or liberal so open to any opinions.

Thanks

People on both sides should discuss the issues involved rather than hurl insults at each other!

With the world attention now focused on Israel and Lebanon, could the North Koreans be getting ready to launch an invasion of South Korea? Gunshots were exchanged across the DMZ today, the first time in a year. The Iranians were in North Korea to observe the recent missile tests, so could this be part of a plan where the Iranians, in exchange for North Korean atomic technology, were to start up a conflict using Hezbollah and so divert world attention away from North Korea prior to the start of an invasion of South Korea?

we have government grants to help you pay for college, and lots of people can go for free, or even get extra spending money to go to community colleges, you can learn all kinds of trades to make decent money, you can get into a job where you can learn a trade and work your way up... why do so many people want richer people who have earned it by going to college for years and years, and taking risks and making big decisions and having lots of repsonsibility to give away their money, i guess because they don't want to work hard for it.This is america, if you lived in some 3rd world country, i can see why you'd complain, but we really don't have anything to complain about in america, even with high medical costs and high(not comapared to europe) gas prices...overall, i know there are some people who, through no fault of their own are poor, i'm not talking about them, i'm talking about the majority of americans who complain about how evil rich people are, and how poor they are.

U.S. aid to Israel fuels unrest. Since 1987, the Congress has annually been approving a foreign aid bill totaling an average of $3 billion to Israel, $1.2 billion in economical aid, and $1.8 billion in military aid.

After the gulf war, the US has additionally been offering Israel $2 billion annually in federal loan guarantees, which brings the total US foreign aid to Israel to about $5 billion, or $13.7 million per day. This amount excludes the approximate $1.5 billion in total tax-deductible private donations from numerous Jewish charities and individual donors.

This is the largest amount of foreign aid given to a country, and constitutes 30% of the total amount of US foreign aid budget. Israel is an economically, technologically, and militarily advanced country, with a per capita rate higher that that of all neighboring Arab countries. It is ranked as the world's 16th wealthiest country, yet the US aid to Israel constitutes 30% of the total US foreign aid budget.
