What do you think? I not talking about FoxNews but rather the typical hyper-regurtiation of the NEOCON party line we have seen these last several years.

Someone who actually has any kind of ideas?
Example, take the group of people on here whose questions consist of insulting this group that they call "Neocons", and "exposing" them, and whose answers usually show just enough intelligence to say "Bla bla bla, Bush did it NEOCON", yet not ONE of them offer any solution except, impeach Bush and don't vote Republican.
OR
Would you rather vote for someone who tries hard to be balanced, and who actually attempts to offer solutions? Whether they're Democrat, Republican, Independent, liberal, or conservative doesn't matter in this question.
And, who would you rather listen to, the former or the latter? For me, it's the latter.
In other words, who would you vote for, for any political position, off of this site?

In a time in American and World history where a lot of important things are happening and we need the support of our leaders, all of them seem to be on vacation. Our current president is on a record setting pace of taking vacation days. Since voted into office he has spent 40% of his time on vacation, surpassed only by his father who spent around 550 days in a four year period on vacation. Our Congress is set to work only 80 days this year, and the Supreme Court has herd less than 30 cases in the current present presidential term. Where are our leaders?

That is all they are. Those who support them must be brain-dead. What a thing to support. Do you lose your senses at birth? Or when the Anchor babies were born from Criminal Parents?

Phelps and his "christian" church, Westboro Baptist Church are the ones protesting the funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq on the premise that they died as God's punishment for Americas tolerence of homosexuals.
I don't condone homosexuality myself but Phelps goes to a rediculously extreeme position. Further, I believe he is irritating a particularly fragile group of people (I'm not talking about family members, but Soldiers). Soldiers are intelligent and skilled warriors. Our culture (warrior culture) is such that we hold the memories of our fallen brothers in high esteem and there are those of us, that I believe would go to unusual extreemes to seek reconcilation against those that would dishonor our comrades the way Phelps has. bottom line... Sooner or later one of us is going to get into trouble for violently silencing his hateful desicration of our loved ones memories.

It often appears that the governments of the countries of the world are not the people in charge. It seems to me there is a group of rich/intelectual/influencal/possibly criminal people who control even governments. What do you think?

Does the mere fact that we all have different ethical opinions mean that all opinions are equally acceptable or correct?

Bush and Congress are talking about reducing troops in Iraq. But Rumsfield is talking about extending tours of duty and increasing troops.

I think Americans should have the courtesy to at least check the original spelling before falsely accusing me of poor grammar.

For example if I write "Gaol" instead of "Jail" people answer my question just to say I've misspelled a word.

Grrrrr

Cutting the Estate Tax, or as some are calling it, the Paris Hilton Tax, would give the richest Americans a trillion dollars in tax breaks, meaning the rest of us would be a trillion dollars poorer.

Former Exxon CEO Lee Raymond (who just got a $400 million dollar retirement package) will save $164 million.

President Bush will personally save up to $6 million.

Vice President Cheney will save up to $60.7 million.

Have the Jews got a right to claim a piece of land in the middle east and make it a jewish state with jewish laws. Would it have been such a bad idea to have had a secular palestinian state. with Jews, Muslims and Christians having an equal franchise?

The way I look at it is that Israel is doing us a favor. Otherwise it would probably be my butt over there rooting out those terrorist bastards. What do you think?

People say, "well i'm of german heritage so does that mean I can wave the Nazi flag as pride in my culture". That is ignorant at most. First off, not all germans agreed with the Nazi party, but most comformed so as not to be murdered or their families murdered. You can show german cultural heritage in many other ways not specifically the Nazi flag. Isn't this just a big misconception. How about waving the german flag as honor on the day the berlin wall was toppled? Has nothing to do with the Nazi's now does it.

On Friday we had some bad thunder storms. My basement got flooded almost to my knees. I store stuff in the basement like my kid’s toys and winter clothes. I also had clothes down there to wash and every piece of clothing is moldy. I can not wash them fast enough and it just getting worst. Me and my husband cleaned out all the water after waiting 4 days for the landlord to call or come over , but the smell is so bad I used bleach and pine sol it still smells bad. My question is, is the landlord responsible for damage and what can I do to get the smell out. My son has bad asthma attacks and I don't want this to affect him.

There has to be another way?
Dogs being walked were seized from their owners and beaten to death on the spot, the Shanghai Daily newspaper reported. Led by the county police chief, killing teams entered villages at night, creating noise to get dogs barking, then beat the animals to death, the reports said.

Now, I have 2 ladies who are yelling at me when I try to debate. Why do women resort to name-calling, insults, and attacks on personal appearance, when they have nothing else to say?
